A large number of role costumes are hand-embroidered and dyed by hand, among which Baochai's wedding dress embroidery took more than a month to complete.

Modeling director Chen Tongxun said: "accurately reflect the vitality of the character, with new technology, new ideas to extract its commonness, but also in the visual defamiliarization of the United States, this is director Hu Mei's basic requirements for visual modeling in A Dream of Red Mansions." Therefore, the costume design of the film takes into account the identity, character and situation of the characters, such as many ornaments on Baoyu's head and waist, all of which are related to the helplessness of the power struggle of his official family, which implies Jia Baoyu's inner anguish caused by being unable to do so on his own. These ornaments are like the chains of the system constraining him, which is not what he needs. The crew designs his clothes in full accordance with the strict rules of Ming costumes. Although the main tone of his clothes is bright red, his behavior is actually suppressed, and the conflicts between the heart and the outside world are expressing that Jia Baoyu is not free.

Director Hu Mei stressed that the styling clothing of A Dream of Red Mansions should meet the requirements and standards of the historical and cultural status of the original work. A Dream of Red Mansions is not only a masterpiece of literature, but also a treasure of Chinese traditional culture.

In the design of Fuhua Road, all the crew uphold the heart of awe, and strive to accurately capture and convey the style and temperament of that era in every detail.

There are many emotional and heart-clinging plots in the original novel A Dream of Red Mansions. these classic scenes, large and small, made director Hu Mei burst into tears after reading it. In order to convey her feelings, director Hu Mei not only paid attention to the delicate depiction of the characters' feelings when dealing with each scene, but also expressed it through the hidden family conspiracy under the Daguan Garden-- this is not only the tragedy of the Jia family, but also the tragedy of the whole ancient Chinese society.

In addition, A Dream of Red Mansions has specially invited a professional visual effects team from the American Art Temple to take charge of the film's special effects, hoping to present the audience with a more gorgeous visual feast in line with the original artistic conception. With its avant-garde creativity and technology, this team has transformed the huge scenes described in the original text of A Dream of Red Mansions-- such as the ethereal fantasy, the four seasons of the Grand View Garden, and the snowy mountains where Baoyu became a monk-- into shocking visual images. They skillfully use advanced CG technology and combine with traditional aesthetics to accurately capture and realize the imagination of readers in every frame, so that the classical beauty can be reborn on the big screen.

This innovative spirit must also be inherited when the film is remade. Now that we have the opportunity to rewrite this myth, we must be bolder, more innovative and integrate more contemporary values.
