Production

Filming for Endgame commenced on 24 October 2019 in Shanghai.[4] On 21 November 2019, there were reports that star Andy Lau got into a dispute with co-star Xiao Yang, when the former had become frustrated waiting for the latter to have his makeup reapplied multiple times. As the incident was widely shared on the internet with footage leaked from the set, Xiao posted on his Sina Weibo and denied acting like a diva on set and expressed his gratefulness for the opportunity to work with Lau. Production company Emperor Entertainment also issued a statement denying such incident and claiming the footage is a scripted scene in the film.[5][6] Production for Endgame officially wrapped up on 7 January 2020.[3]

gollark: Those are not, as far as I know, actually that competitive.
gollark: There's just a lot of waste on stuff like advertising and reinventing things done by competitors which is at least theoretically avoidable.
gollark: No, we have perfectly functional competitive markets for things like food and TVs and furniture and whatever.
gollark: Central planning instead of our competitive systems could be way more efficient, except the incentives don't really work and nobody can be trusted to do it.
gollark: It's possible that I don't really like informal social/status-game-y methods of distributing things because I'm not very good at them and find them unpleasant. But I still don't really like them.
