Shooting of the "banquet" has officially begun inside an aircraft hangar north of Beijing city and choreographer Yuen Wo-Ping has worked on a polo scene at another location. Cinematographer Lü Yue (Shanghai Triad, To Live) has join the crew to work cinematographer Zhang Li (Big Shot's Funeral, Red Cherry), who was on board since the principle shooting began. Several days ago, the set suddenly lost power when shooting of the banquet scene was under way. The lighting crew then turned off some lights and by the time the power was restored, lights from the remaining light sources beamed at several silk curtains, which created an unexpected effect. Director Feng Xiaogang immediately called every one back, several hundreds cast and crew members, to re-shoot the whole scene with the newly created effect.
