later, meeting Zhou Baping only intensified that feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t with the film crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Encountering personal issues, it was hard to link those with the problems the crew faced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, regarding security concerns, they had deployed guards to increase vigilance;
