It took Li Youzhi a solid entire morning to clear up and sort through the script and storyline of Reset with the main cast of the crew.
Unlike his previous filming experiences, the cast of Reset had a massive age span.
There were young folks in their early twenties from the Tongchen Club, middle-aged actors like Liu Yun, and seasoned veterans like sixty-something Yao Tinglan from the Provincial People's Art Theater, who played the "potions seller" in the film.
You could say it was a full-family-portrait cast covering the older, middle-aged, and younger generations.
Everyone had different comprehension abilities, and for an uncommon theme like Reset, Li Youzhi had no choice but to explain it over and over again to the actors who didn't quite get it.
When he finally ran out of options, Li Youzhi helplessly adopted a "junior-guided-by-senior" teaching method, having Liu Meng, Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yu provide one-on-one tutoring until everyone finally understood what kind of story they were about to shoot.
