Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jeffrey Lau filmed this during his prolific 2012-2014 stretch where he directed four wuxia parodies, clearly running on caffeine and spite.
The film satirizes the 'xianxia' genre's explosion in Chinese television—celestial bureaucracy as metaphor for endless palace dramas.
