Bernice Liu Saves Steven Ma's Life
It is typical for a man to save a beautiful woman's life, but have you heard of a beautiful woman saving a handsome man's life?
In a scene for "The Entire City Dances," Bernice Liu Bik Yi rescued Steven Ma Chun Wai from being hit by a car. Bernice filmed the scene without the use of a stunt double and protection pads!
After "The Brink of Law," Bernice and Steven are again paired up in "The Entire City Dances." Aside from many dancing sequences, there are also numerous action scenes.
Placing a twist on a conventional story plot, the director decided to have Bernice rescue Steven from a speeding car. Steven was crossing the street and a car came crashing towards his direction. Bernice dove in front of Steven and pushed him away, getting hit by the car and falling to the ground herself instead.
The action choreographer discussed the stunt positions with Bernice first. When it was time to film the scene, Bernice put in her all and got hit by the car. The scene looked very realistic and attracted a large crowd of bystanders.
Due to her unrecovered sickness, Bernice voice was a bit hoarse. The director took into account Bernice's condition and did not require her to speak lengthy dialogue for the scene. She only had to shout Steven's name before rescuing him. Nevertheless, Bernice's hoarse voice may require re-dubbing in post-production.
Rescuing Steven's character in the series, Bernice laughed loudly, "Yep, isn't the guy supposed to save the girl? But it's okay to reverse it; I feel very courageous! The action choreographer asked why I didn't use any protection pads, but I thought they would be a burden."
"The scene required the car to hit my head and the choreographer asked which spot they should hit so that it wouldn't hurt as much."
