Chang said he felt pressure to match famous Chinese mainland actor Zhang Guoli's portrayal of Chiang, but he also noted that different actors can bring different things to the role. Chang said he has never played such a character before and will do a lot of research and preparation for the film.

Chang also said he was confident the makeup will make him resemble Chiang Kai-Shek and he will be able to master Chiang's accent.
