In addition to recruiting a large number of non-professional actors, the film also used a large number of extras. The last big scene was the decisive battle between "Shaolin Soccer" and "Devil Team". This 20-minute scene was filmed for a whole month. The shooting location was Zhuhai Stadium, which can accommodate more than 40,000 spectators. If you want to hire extras to fill these more than 40,000 seats, the cost of extras alone is estimated to bankrupt the film company in one month. If you use the computer stunts to make the Colosseum in "Gladiator", the cost will also be Not cheap. After thinking about it for a long time, the film company decided to make good use of Stephen Chow’s branding effect. They advertised, welcoming Zhuhai residents to enter the filming site for free. At the same time, they held lottery games every day. Winners could take photos with Stephen Chow. The result Every day, two to three thousand viewers who want to take photos with Stephen Chow come to support. Although two to three thousand people are sitting in the stadium that can accommodate 40,000 people, there is still some space, but the production team can use computer stunts to make the stadium full, and this alone saves the crew a lot of money

This is about success and business operations. What impressed me the most was an inadvertent plot: Ruhua designed a new look for Zhao Wei, which caused Stephen Chow and Li Lizhi to laugh at the table. Zhao Wei was not shy and laughed together. They booed her and said: one more, one more! Zhao Wei's face suddenly turned pale, and she pushed Zhou Xingchi away in embarrassment, crying by herself. I understand that that is the poor self-esteem of our Pisces.
