For a week, Hou Yong had been shuttling back and forth between Anxin Food Factory and Anxin Daily Chemicals.
In the makeshift studio—which was simply one of the cleared-out areas of the Recycling Station—Hou Yong had hired a photographer from a local photo studio. Since there wasn't much need for post-production, the filming was straightforward.
