Question on Joseph Kuo's Production Methods

Linn Haynes' liner notes for the 7 Grandmasters DVD mentions that Joseph Kuo would often make 2 films at the same time a main one and a cheaper one, and that 7 Grandmasters was an example of the cheaper one.

I was wondering does anyone know what other films of his were made this way and which ones were the "main" and "cheaper" films? I could make some educated guesses on some of these, but I'd be curious to know if anyone had any more solid information.

Wong Jing did the same thing before 1996.

I'm pretty sure Roger Corman did that, too.

It was common in classic Hollywood - King Kong and The Most Dangerous Game were shot simultaneously on the same sets with shared cast and crew.

A good example is Bela Lugosi's 1931 Dracula. It was filmed during the day and then at night another crew would use the same sets for a Spanish version.
