That afternoon, after the opening ceremony was over, the film crew and the cast immediately got ready to start shooting. The three main actors and a group of actors who would play the side characters gathered to practice their roles before filming.
The first scene of the film was shot when Edward, who played the emperor, was ambushed by enemies under heavy rain. The emperor who was injured and was waiting for reinforcements then met a simple woman played by Shirley. The main female character helped the emperor by bringing him into her house.
The woman turned out to be a commoner. She bandaged the emperor's wounds and took care of him with great tenderness and patience until the man's guards arrived at her home.
The location for the scene was set and a fire truck was out of camera reach. One of the crew gave a signal and the truck started spraying water upwards, creating the effect of heavy rain.
"Scene one, first take, start!" The crew exclaimed.
