Director Mr. To shared that although the filming was originally planned to be done only underwater, he suggested making more fake rain to increase the tragedy. Unexpectedly, when we just turned on the camera, it rained heavily, forcing the whole group to "raced" against the weather to complete the emotional filming.
"The machine is mine, just cover it, I take full responsibility for any damage," director Mr. To affirmed, showing recklessness and dedication to each frame. He called this the greyest shot of the film, when the sky was gray, the water hit the ground hard, the bubbles floated up to create a lively effect.
Actress Le Phuong said that this scene made the whole group "confused" but was worth the effort. "Seeing the whole family carrying a carry of money to the house in the rain was a pity, but in return, it was a beautiful camera angle," she shared.
In addition to the weather challenge, the "scratch" scene in the hot sun also made Thai Hoa, Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong and many actors have to film for two consecutive days. Thai Hoa revealed that the character of Mr. Sang is always a person who always maintains the ideal of "decent but not mean", so the moment of "death anniversary" in the crowd is the moment he feels most ashamed: "The worst feeling is when I betray my own ideal of life."
Trinh Thao - Nhi role, Thai Hoa's character's daughter - said she was still moved when reviewing the scene: "When "three" knelt down, I still could not accept it."
The film The Lower River War continues to exploit the conflict between father and son and hidden corners in the life of Vietnamese families. The film stars Thai Hoa, Le Phuong, Trinh Thao, Meritorious Artist Kim Phuong, People's Artist Thanh Nam, Tieu Bao Quoc, Tran Nham, Ngoc Trai, Phuc An and a cast of child actors.
