Synopsis

Scholar Qin Kun rescued a giant clam shell from a group of mischievous children, unaware that the shell was actually the true form of the clam spirit, Meiniang. At this moment, Qin Kun was targeted by the female demon of the Yin Wind Cave, his life hanging by a thread. To repay his kindness, the clam spirit offered herself to Qin Kun, becoming his wife. Together, they fought the female demon of the Yin Wind Cave time and again. Ultimately, they joined forces with the Taoist priest of the Upper Qing Palace to eliminate the demon. After accomplishing this feat, the clam spirit retired from her duties. Later, Qin Kun passed the imperial examinations and became an official.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 14

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
