In 2005, Edward Harrison Norton came to China to film "The Painted Veil". He stayed for more than 3 months in total. He never forgot the acting skills of his cooperating Hong Kong actor Anthony Perry: "His performance is extremely deep. I admire him very much. I can’t do this performance."
-
After Anthony Perry and Edward Harrison Norton played opponents, he said with a smile that Norton was really nervous. Anthony Perry even said: "I'm considered crazy, but he is better than me. When I acted with him, I realized that he was already nervous to the point of horror!"

Anthony Perry believes that the biggest challenge for him to film this drama is the lines. On the set, when he spoke English lines, he sometimes forgot to perform, and when he was performing, he forgot to say the words, which made him a little "busy".

When Naomi Watts was filming a crying scene, a blond girl served as a stand-in for her for nearly half an hour. She herself listened to sad music, hoping to get into the state quickly. When the film was officially filmed, Watts' crying scene was filmed 15 times. The veteran actor Li Bin led Toby Jones up the hillside 15 times and arrived in front of the heroine's house. Immediately afterwards, Watts's heart-piercing cries broke out in the house.

[Walter and Kitty are out at the Chinese Opera with Charlie and Dorothy Townsend]
Charlie Townsend: Are you enjoying it?
Kitty Fane: I've never seen anything like it.
Charlie Townsend: Every gesture has a meaning. See how she covers her face with the cloth? She is mourning her misfortune.
Kitty Fane: What happened to her?
Charlie Townsend: She was sold into slavery. Condemned to a life of drudgery and despair in a strange land far from home. See the chains? They represent the heavy bondage of her poor, trapped soul from which there is no escape, and so she weeps. She weeps for the lively, vivacious girl she once was, the lonely woman she has become... and most of all... she weeps for the love she'll never feel, for the love she'll never give.
Kitty Fane: Is that really what she's saying?
Charlie Townsend: Actually I haven't a clue what she's on about. I don't speak Chinese.
[Charlie and Kitty laugh]

[Waddington walks in to the Fanes' new house]

[Remembering he hasn't introduced himself yet]
Waddington: Sorry, my name is Waddington.
