Most of the films that Feng Xuan used to make were about the Anti-Japanese War, as well as a few urban police versus gangster films, but he had never shot films featuring animals.
Since he decided to take over the film, he had to shoot it well, so he sent his assistant to collect some good movies and dramas about animals in recent years, and one of them was the movie of Wolf Totem, which was also his important reference source.
The wolf was an animal that cannot be tamed—the theme of Wolf Totem was nonsense. Wolves were the most easily tamable animals and had been domesticated by different ethnic groups around the world as early as 15,000 years ago, or else where did so many different kinds of dogs come from? Compared to the desert wildcats that were tamed by the Egyptians between 5,000 and 10,000 years ago, the domestication of wolves was much easier.
