The film crew doesn't shoot the scenes according to the timeline of the script, but rather creates a shoot sequence chart based on the script's scene numbers, and then, using that as a foundation, creates a shot breakdown chart by type of scene, which is then used to organize the filming schedule taking into account the availability of actors and the geographic relationship between locations.

In this scene, there were her, Guan Xiao, Mr. Ying, and a few actors playing criminal police officers.
Tang Li's make-up took nearly an hour.
"OK, open your eyes!" the make-up artist sighed in relief.
