During filming, Ling Yichen and Jun Mo Ran not only had to overcome technical challenges but also constantly switch between virtual and real emotional and performance states. In one emotional scene, Xing Yao needed to recall his lost relatives and hometown, his heart filled with pain and longing. Ling Yichen stood in front of the green screen, closed his eyes, and tried hard to recall those precious memories in his life and the pain of separation he had experienced. When he opened his eyes again, they were already brimming with tears, his expression painful yet deeply moving, perfectly showcasing Xing Yao's inner emotional world. Jun Mo Ran watched quietly from the side, moved by Ling Yichen's performance, while also considering how to provide Xing Yao with emotional support through his own character, Yue Ying. In this scene, through their nuanced performances, they vividly portrayed the deep friendship and emotional bond between the characters, allowing the audience to feel a real emotional impact even in the virtual world.
Besides the outstanding performances of the main actors, the collaboration of the entire team was also key to the filming's success. The cinematographers meticulously adjusted camera angles and shooting parameters to capture every brilliant moment; the lighting technicians skillfully used lighting effects to create various fantastical atmospheres, such as the eerie green light in a mysterious forest, the dazzling light in an interstellar battlefield, and the soft, warm light in a mysterious castle; and the sound engineers created and combined realistic sound effects according to different scenes and plots, from the roar of alien creatures to the birdsong in a mysterious forest, from the hum of an energy sword to the roar of a spaceship's engine—each sound effect immersing the audience in the experience.
As filming progressed, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran became increasingly comfortable with this fantastical adventure style of shooting. They constantly challenged themselves in the virtual world, experimenting with various new acting methods and action designs. In a scene depicting a battle against a giant monster, Ling Yichen designed a unique martial arts routine that combined traditional Chinese martial arts with science fiction elements. Every movement he made was full of power and creativity, giving the audience a refreshing experience. Jun Moran, meanwhile, worked closely with the director, providing suggestions to Ling Yichen based on the situation on set, helping him better portray the character's bravery and wisdom.
Throughout the filming of this fantastical adventure, Ling Yichen, Jun Mo Ran, and the entire team faced countless difficulties and challenges. They persevered, overcoming one obstacle after another with their unwavering pursuit of art and strong team cohesion. Each successful take was like a solid step forward on the path of exploration, as they bravely marched towards their ultimate goal, hoping to bring audiences a breathtaking virtual reality film, opening the door to a fantastical world and allowing them to experience an unprecedented adventure where virtual and reality merge.
