[20070824] LOCH Halted For A Year, Recommencing On 31st; HuGe Does Not Mind Exposing Eye Scar

This newspaper reported yesterday that HuGe’s manager Cai YiNong revealed that on account of HuGe’s traffic accident which occurred on 31 August last year resulting in the standstill of television drama, LOCH, after having waited for 1 year, will recommence filming in HengDian at 11am on 31 August. HuGe yesterday, has already officially joined the team to prepare for filming to re-start. Following filming recommencement, the cast for this drama remains unchanged; the plot will also not be modified because of HuGe’s injuries.

Cai YiNong said that this drama has been on hold for an entire year, gathering all the actors again had countless obstacles. “Playing the role of HuangRong, Lin YiChen, must wait till end September before she’s able to join the team. Initially thought of substituting, but so as to retain those valuable scenes shot prior to HuGe’s traffic accident, we decided to wait after all.” Earlier, due to concerns about HuGe’s scar, JinYong once suggested the production team amend the original composition, let HuGe, acting as GuoJing, be wounded on the eye when faced with some martial art expert, as such there’s not need to think of ways to cover up HuGe’s scar. Cai YiNong expressed that HuGe’s eye injury is essentially recovered, no need to rack the brain to alter the script. “The scar on his eye can use lighting and shooting angles to refine. The Director of Photography of "Chinese Paladin" for this time will wield the shooting for HuGe’s scenes. HuGe too is totally not worried about his scars being seen by the audience.” It is reported that this drama will shoot till December. After closure, HuGe still needs to undergo another surgery to correct his eye scar.

HuGe joined the team to prepare for the recommencement of filming, content of training is mainly to practice martial arts. He will be re-learning the series of stunts and expressions of the Dragon 18 Palm Strokes, as well as the basic skills of horse-riding, archery, etc. So as to seek out the feel of filming last year, HuGe still needs to review all his scenes shot last year. Cai YiNong disclosed that HuGe has already bought a new all-terrain vehicle, he is not afraid of the site of the accident, insists on driving past the site of accident, “for the sake of his safety, the production team has fitted him with a chauffeur, determined not to let him drive to HengDian himself”.
