The key scenes were incredibly challenging to shoot, as they needed to showcase the cunning intelligence of each thief, with solo performances lasting one or two minutes that relied solely on the actors' skills.
The director decided to film Sheng Yan and He Jinxia's scenes first, allowing Qin Siqin and Yu Yanyu to get a feel for it later on.
When Luo You came to the set with exciting news, he saw He Jinxia swinging a long whip around, creating a crisp "snap" as it struck the ground.
She was filming a fight scene, blending dialogue with action.
He Jinxia held the whip, snapping it towards a designated spot, then quickly retracted it, glaring fiercely at those blocking her path and said, "Get out of my way!"
A major villain, clad all in black, stepped forward and, waving both hands, commanded, "Charge!"
Five men in black immediately sprinted towards He Jinxia.
Of course, though it was called sprinting, their speed was deliberately slow.
