BTS: 07/08 + 09
3rd & 4th day of filming the battle combat scenes, this time with the battle damage make-up on. Wang Duo unfortunately got heatstroke on day 1, but he managed to hold on until the final shot. After12 hrs in the sun, he collapsed & started dry heaving๐, luckily he completed the remaining 3 days without issue.
07/08 was the hottest day of the heatwave & there was a crazy shot involving Duo on a horse and a live lit ring of fire surrounds him๐งฏ๐ฅ๐ฑ...Luckily the horse didn't bolt & the shot was done, hopefully this makes it into the drama.
