Yan Bingyan cherishes the opportunity to see "The Cowherd and Weaver Girl" on the big screen. She admitted that the film did not choose to be released in the mainland in the end, mostly because of cost considerations-it may cost tens of millions to make the audience pay attention to the work, but the cost of shooting "The Cowherd and Weaver Girl" is only one million yuan.
The cost of
is not high, but the quality of the crew has not relaxed. Yan Bingyan described that at that time everyone was "very rigorous" in filming: In order to present the most authentic city woman "Da Ping", she not only hired a teacher in advance to record authentic Sichuan dialects for practice, she also exposed herself to the sun for a week until her face "Spots" appear on the surface. Actress Zhang Yi, who was acting together, is a "naked man" that the director chanced upon. When Yan Bingyan was out of play, she would stay on the scene to watch her shooting, just to learn and experience the "instinct" and "primitive" performance.

But nowadays, due to the involvement of capital in creation, making movies is sometimes no longer easy, and actors often have to face many temptations.
Yan Bingyan considers herself not a prolific actor, but even if she hasn't filmed for a year, she will not give up her principles. Yan Bingyan does not accept movies with a shooting period of less than one and a half months, and does not accept works that require dubbing, even if it may cost her chances or even offend her peers.
"I also like money, and I also love fame and fortune. I am happy every time I win a prize!" Yan Bingyan said, and if I pick up a book I don't like for a high salary, then I might have the first time. Twice. "Don't think of it (performance) as making money. You can go for a long time by knowing what you want. This is a virtuous circle. (Only for making money) you will gradually get away from your career and your passion."

During this year's Changchun Film Festival, another work she participated in, "Earth Forever" was also nominated for the Women's Film Festival.
