The brothers Jiang Wen and Jiang Xiaobing look a little alike. If the two are acting on the big screen, how to increase their "recognition" to prevent the audience from appearing in the show is a question that the director Jiang Wen has to consider. To prevent the audience from recognizing that the two are brothers, this poses a problem for Zhang Shuping, who serves as the styling director. Jiang Xiaobing was put on various exaggerated beards and wigs, but the results were not satisfactory. It was Jiang Xiaobing who figured out at home to keep his hair long and curled into an explosive head shape, which satisfied everyone, including director Jiang Wen.
In order to interpret Hu Wan, the murderous gangster in the film, Jiang Wen invited Zhang Shuping to create five distinct looks for Aloys Chen. The clothing includes all the types of clothing that appeared in the Beiyang period, from coarse cloth linen to silk. Long gowns, tunic suits to suits. Originally Jiang Wen planned to completely disfigure Aloys Chen, but couldn't bear it when it was officially filmed. He decided to keep Aloys Chen's original handsome side and use performance to show the character's fierceness.
