Strictly speaking, the Eyes of the Eagle was actually a spy film that took place in contemporary times.
It told a story of how Hua Land fell into the enemy's hands and the fight between two schools during this particular period.
Gu Weiwei was supposed to play two roles – a ferocious woman called Huo Jing in the military bureau and a just and kind-hearted Huo Xiaoshi.
The first scene after the opening ceremony was not about her, but Xiang Linyuan, the role played by the lead actor Song Yu.
Xiang Linyuan was a warlord of the local area and the man whom both of the schools would like to have on their side.
However, he had already been under the control of the military bureau.
Song Yu might not be a very good-looking actor, yet he was quite talented, so he passed the first take perfectly.
The second scene was about Shen Qiu and Chu Chen.
However, Shen Qiu came to the director and presented a proposal.
