Anecdote: Li Yuan says that pertaining to this training scene, he had a little dream when he was very young. Back then, when he just started training in swordplay, he hoped that one day, he would have the chance to using his own interpretation to perform swordplay on the screen. And finally, after ten years of hard work, here's the result...

Filming of a big-scale war scene: Sina

Li Yuan Plays Wang Ren Yi, Wang Shi Chong's adopted son, whose father's death was actually caused by Wang Shi Chong and he's but a tool trained by Wang Shi Chong to help him get rid of dissidents. Unaware of all these, and being covetous of his daughter as well as blinded by fame and power, Wang Ren Yi serves Wang Shi Chong with undivided loyalty, killing anyone who stands in his way.

In this demanding scene, Li Yuan is pursuing Xie Miao, who plays Zhang Tian Bao, whose whole family was framed by Wang Shi Chong and massacred. Zhang Tian Bao manages to escape and masters the art of darts throwing under the tutelage of Ghostly Hand, and returns to avenge for his family.

This scene was shot in four days during Lunar New Year. The production did not even get a break during the important festive season to the Chinese. The director is very particular about this sene, so it's quite taxing for both Li Yuan and Xie Miao. A makeup artist helped capture this scene on video. It's later put together by both Li Yuan and Xie Miao.
