Xia Siyu had previously filmed scenes shot in one continuous take.
For instance, in "Storm," the opening scene on the boat, both she and Bo Yan performed it in one continuous shot. Later on, there were monologues and close-ups, where even without much body language, she needed to use her tone and expression within seconds to display the character's various internal emotions.
Her attempts in "Spring Light" were even more abundant. However, these were artistic films with few action scenes, and even the boat scene with Bo Yan, where they argued, was relatively relaxed as Bo Yan could lead her through the performance without needing to remember complicated movements.
