When creating Xingyao's backstory, Ling Yichen came up with an idea: Xingyao was originally an ordinary young man, but in an accident, he discovered a mysterious connection between himself and the virtual world, thus embarking on a journey to save both worlds. In this process, he experienced countless hardships and lost many precious things, but he never gave up because he held firm to his beliefs and relentlessly pursued justice. This backstory added many layers to Xingyao's character, allowing the audience to better understand his perseverance and courage in the face of adversity.
Jun Mo Ran designed a backstory for Yue Ying that is full of wisdom and mystery. Yue Ying comes from an ancient family that possesses secret knowledge about the virtual world. Exceptionally intelligent from a young age, Yue Ying developed a deep interest in this knowledge and, through continuous learning and exploration, became an expert in the virtual world. His encounter with Xing Yao was not accidental, but rather a twist of fate; they share the mission of protecting the balance between two worlds. This backstory makes Yue Ying's character more mysterious and attractive, and also provides a reasonable explanation for his actions and decisions in the story.
As filming progressed, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran gradually found their footing in performing within the blend of virtual and reality. They learned how to improvise freely in front of a green screen, how to interact perfectly with virtual elements, and how to transport the audience into that fantastical world through their performances. Their acting not only brought the virtual characters to life but also infused the entire virtual reality film project with vitality.
In a scene where Xingyao and Yueying search for a mysterious treasure in a virtual world, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran's performances reached a new level. They traversed fantastical virtual environments, outwitting and outmaneuvering various virtual creatures and traps.

Jun Moran, meanwhile, calmly analyzed the situation, his wisdom and strategy playing a crucial role at key moments. Their seamless teamwork and brilliant performances immersed the audience, making them feel as if they were experiencing a thrilling adventure alongside them.
