From Starry, CHEN Quanchi : it is really astonishing to see how much detailed need to be recreated to recreate a city, with consideration of almost every physical objects, while background scene is actually what audiences tend to ignore.. I wonder to want extend are the detailed to be considered, as much as possible or there is a certain standard?
From Kit Wah Wu : Did you use any CGI and is it cheaper than recreating anything from real life?
From Chi Kin Zachery LI : as you said, you have done a lot of research to realise what exactly happened in Wuhan. (some news and picture) but different publishers may have different versions of an incident. so, you may got a lot of versions of what happened in Wuhan. Then, how you decide which version you use in your film?

From Sherman Shui Fung Lo : Hello, I think it is interesting that it is possible to portray one city when you’re filming entirely in another city. Does it reflect one of the effects of globalization, where the cityscape are general enough to all look the same, to the point where it can fool the audience? Following this line of thought, do you think that the tiny details such as street signs, fences, trash cans, posters etc of a city is the defining features of the modern city?
From Li Ming Chak, David : How do you decide what to manufacture and what to recreate virtually? Do you try to make everything in real life? Also, some films make use of min sets (smaller versions of sets), did you use any of those?
