Saying today marks the official start of filming isn't entirely accurate. Rather, it's the start of a half-month intensive training camp at the MIE Team club, where the cast will learn basic esports player maneuvers and daily habits. Following this, they will spend a month shooting the esports-related scenes.
Since the project is an esports drama, Director Zhou had approached several club teams, only to be rejected due to their strict training schedules. Getting access to the MIE Team was only made possible through a favor called in by Yu Chen's family—after all, Zihuai had secured three consecutive world championships for MIE.
By the time Sheng Yiyang arrived, Director Zhou, the producer, and several other main cast members were already there.
