"How could you do this to me?" she cried. "Why would you be with him behind my back? Why..."
The first scene of "City of Backlight" that was filmed involved the heroine, Hong Ziyu, discovering her boyfriend's infidelity and his relationship with the secondary female lead, Dong Yutong, which led to an hysterical outburst.
Uncle Hua was initially worried that Mu Keren, with no acting experience, seemed anxious about the start of the shooting and had even provided eyedrops for this particular scene—yet, at this moment, he expressed an astonished admiration.
Because as soon as the filming started, Mu Keren seemed to immerse herself into the character. In particular, her frenzied demeanor as she grabbed the collar of Xuan Ling, who was playing the role of Dong Yutong, and yelled at her was a spitting image of the scene from the original novel.
This performance not only secretly delighted Uncle Hua but also exceeded the expectations of the director and the crew members.
