Because there are so many deaths in A Splendid Match, especially towards the end, and ones involving some of the most interesting and best characters, I thought you might be interested in the Red Envelopes that are given out on set to both the actors and the crew before filming begins.
After all, China is a superstitious culture, the world of acting is also full of rites to protect the actors and the production (never say "Good Luck" in a theater, say "Break a leg"), and handing out Red Envelopes to all involved is one rite that rarely if ever is ignored on a Chinese set.
And when it comes to an actor playing a character who eventually dies, that becomes doubly so :)
