Late at night idol drama “Superstar Express” takes advantage of ghost door not opening yet, Jiro Wang must stand still and wait for a car to speed and hit him, even though they prayed before filming and had a red envelope on him, until yesterday Jiro was still worried, “We filmed until past midnight, couldn’t finish work before ghost door was open. He still has lingering fears because when he was filming “Hana Kimi” outside in the North he was pushed down by a ghost and then had the same nightmare for three days.
Jiro revealed that when he was young he could meet “good brothers” very easily, so people once took him to receive the fright[?] Because the group heard that he once encountered ghosts while filming, they didn’t dare to tell him the day before filming that they especially insisted on filming the day before ghost door opens, many people happened to bring up the topic while “chatting”, Jiro was apprehensive as soon as he heard, he immediately put his hands into a “10″ and prayed in all directions.
Yesterday Jiro explained, “I knew when Ghost Month starts, I just didn’t expect that we would film that late, past midnight.” He also expressed, even if it’s not Ghost Month, he will still be scared[?] filming this type of scene, “That car is so big, going so fast and also the headlights and shining right at me, the feeling is very scary.”
Strictly speaking “Superstar Express” is a literature and art drama, there are very few action scenes, in the past Jiro filmed a scene in “Rolling Love” where he got hit while riding a motorcycle, it was also a stunt double so this is technically his first time filming a highly dangerous scene. When filming finished, he personally said to staff, the scariest part was the sound of the car braking, at the time the car suddenly braked while speeding, the back tyres jumped up, yet he couldn’t move out of the way, he was very scared instead.
The other person who is very tired is the female lead Rainie Yang, because she is filming two dramas simultaneously, her skin and scalp have had problems, not only does she always have white hairs, her monthly cycle is also out of balance, recently she finally pleaded to her agent, “In the future please don’t make me film two dramas at the same time, let me have a holiday, just five days is good.”
Note: Ghost door meaning Ghost Month [7th month of lunar calendar]
