Angelababy (Yang Ying) in the film YOUNG DETECTIVE DEE: RISE OF THE SEA DRAGON (DIK YUN KIT ji SUN DOH LUNG WONG) played the country toppling courtesan Yan Ruiji, which led to Wu Zetian wanting to kill her as soon as she saw her. Tsui Hark took note of Baby's mixed heritage background and put her in extremely pretty costumes in the film; for the 9 pretty costumes she also suffered a lot. In order to make Baby convincing as a classic lady, she had lessons in Tang Dynasty traditions, tea ceremony, dance and guqin. She also had sexy costumes. When she appeared she played an instrument in a sacrifice team, she appeared like a Dunhuang flying fairy. Baby on the sacrifice wagon played an instrument and danced. She even had to put Di Renji under her spell with her eyes. On the rocking wagon, the crew had to stabilize one of her feet to the wagon while the other one kicked; the entire way she supported her body with half her body strength. After a day of shooting she felt like she was torn into two. Her leg was numb for a week and co-star Mark Chao (Chiu Yau Ting) made fun of him. Baby also said that Tsui Hark asked her to display her beauty, her eyes had to be like she was drunk as she had to close them until they were two lines. The result was very seductive.
