Jackie Chan's latest fashion kung fu comedy, "Little Soldier, Big General," has recently wrapped up filming in Beijing. In addition to himself and Wang Leehom as the main actors, Jackie Chan not only employed a new director, Ding Sheng, but also introduced a fresh face as the female lead - Xu Dongmei. Praised by Jackie Chan for her wildness, Xu Dongmei plays a "very dominant character, akin to an iron lady in a bandit stronghold." Her costume design is also quite wild, with many of her outfits in the film using materials like leather, fur, metal, and hemp, which are filled with a primitive flavor, combined with pattern designs from the Warring States period, exuding regional cultural charm even amidst their roughness.

According to introductions, the outgoing Xu Dongmei practiced acrobatics from a young age and was once an excellent aerobics coach, still maintaining a daily exercise routine of six hours. Due to Jackie Chan's great emphasis on this special female disciple, she received extra "favor" in terms of screen time. As a key member of the Chenglong Team's ace "New Seven Little Fortunes" group, Xu Dongmei holds a significant position within the crew.
