Why was Blind Mountain filmed in Shaanxi?

The shooting location was a village in the Qinling Mountains of Shaanxi Province. The village has always been backward and feudal. It even believes that human trafficking is not a crime or evil, but a local custom and a natural and natural thing.

"Blind Mountain" was filmed in 2007 in the Qinling Mountains of Shaanxi Province. According to director Li Yang, this movie is not only based on real events, but also the actors are basically non-professional actors. Except for the heroine Bai Xuemei, who plays the role, she graduated from the film academy and is a professionally trained actor. Other related roles, All are played by local people or non-professional actors. This is a surprising fact. It is hard to imagine that local people in a place would star in such a movie without caring.

The director revealed that when someone knew that this was a movie, they came up and asked shamelessly: This girl (the heroine) is good-looking, just sell it to me. There is a woman named Zhao Xiaolan in the movie, but in reality she is a trafficked woman in the village where the filming took place. Her husband beat her several times because of the 20 yuan a day extra fee, and forced her to star in the movie. In the end, he used My wife is acting for you, and you have to take care of me. For this reason, I have been working on the set for a few days.

The locals in the village where the filming took place were just as unscrupulous about the cost of buying a wife as they were talking about how much it would cost to buy groceries today, which was chilling to watch. So it was this kind of creepy behavior and the attitude of the local people that made the director evacuate the film before it was finished and go to other villages to complete the filming.
