Huo Yuanjia background modeling: The movie story mainly happened in Tianjin, so it is a crucial step to reproduce the scene at that time. The location of the film was chosen in Sheng Qiang Film and Television Base in Songjiang, Shanghai, where Huo Yuanjia set up a game to challenge his opponent. The challenge is the old street in Tianjin, which was built for this film.

As of 2006, this is the only street in China Film Base in the early years of the Republic of China, with a cost of 5 million RMB. Together with the Gu Yue Building on the corner, the cost of the whole street exceeds10 million RMB. After the shooting, the crew left these exquisite buildings to the film and television base.

It is not enough to trace the scenery back to the style of that year, and costume props should also be extreme, including a copper button on the clothes, which were matched in antique shops according to the material and color of the clothes. The glasses worn by Yong Dong as a scholar in the early years of the Republic of China were also specially selected in antique shops.
