As Lee Hsing explains, few performers are born to be stars--they have to be promoted and exposed constantly through movies to impress the audience. For example, after Tang Pao-yun starred in Beautiful Duckling, Lee Hsing used her in Four Loves, Execution in Autumn and Love is an Elusive Wind, pushing Tang to the peak of her career.
李行認為，明星不是生下來就是明星，一定要捧，不斷給他演出的機會，加深觀眾的印象，以唐寶雲為例，演出《養鴨人家》後，李行又為她拍了《婉君表妹》、《秋決》、《風從那里來》，把唐寶雲的演藝生涯推向最高峰。
