Based on writer Chen Zhongshi's classic work WHITE DEER PLAIN, the film has been in preparation for eight years. When the novel WHITE DEER PLAIN was released, it ran into trouble for its sexual descriptions. The film naturally could not get past this difficult point either. Thus most of the attention had gone to the film's lead actress. Reportedly rumors of Tang Wei joining the production were not empty, as director Wang Quanan expressed that indeed Tang Wei has been invited.
After the addition of three substance actors Zhang Fengyi, Wu Gang and Liu Wei, the film production has finally shown signs of life. However currently the film's "Bai Xiaowen", "Lu Zhaopeng", "Heiwa" remained mysteries. The film's most controversial women "Tian Xiaoe" and most pristine woman "Bai Ling" also made people curious. However, director Wang Quanan reportedly considered Tang Wei to be the best lead actress choice. Sun Honglei was also under consideration for the role of "Heiwa".
Reportedly, Tang Wei was Wang Quanan's best choice for "Tian Xiaoe" and has already been invited. However, due to the series of setbacks from LUST CAUTION, Tang Wei would consider using a double for WHITE DEER PLAIN's sex scenes. Someone from the production said, "Tang
Wei's invitation to performance was only a suggestion from others, it has not been confirmed." On the other hand, Tang Wei's Mainland promotional company stated that so far they have only heard and not received an official invitation from the team. If Tang Wei truly joined the cast, it
would be her first film in the Mainland since her ban was lifted.
