Corner
with love's last episode will be out this weekend. One of the scene in
the ending episode is Xiao Zhu, being on the streets of Shanghai and
vandalizing it by drawing there. As filming of this scene attracted a
large amount of fans to crowd around and ended up blocking traffic as
well as the vandalized board prepared by the crew looked like it really
was drawn on the wall, even the police stopped by and thought that Xiao
Zhu was really vandalizing and almost arrested him.
In the
end, the police gave a sigh of relief as they found out that the crew
only nailed a board to the wall and once filming was finished, it would
be removed. The police also decided to help out since they were there
already and helped the crew keep the filming area in control so that
the crew can successfully finish filming.
This week, besides
showing the last episode, there will also be a small section on behind
the scenes shown and there will be lots of hilarious NG parts. The
director, Da S, Xiao Zhu, Chen Zhi Kai etc will all go onto the
official website of the drama after 22nd night's Corner with Love is
shown to thank the fans and viewers for their support.
In order
to match the drama name Corner with love, the director chose a
particular street in Shanghai to film the corner and let the painting
that Xiao Zhu gave Da S be painted on the wall. However, to avoid being
sued for vandalizing in China mainland, the crew specially made a board
and recruited the help of Art Faculty students. Even Xiao Zhu the main
male lead also joined in to help and climbed up and down.
However,
Xiao Zhu really has too much fans in Shanghai and the fans ended up
causing the already very narrow street to become even packer and hence
caught the attention of the police. When the police arrived, they for a
split second really thought the painting was done on the street wall
and immediately wanted to arrest Xiao Zhu, the on-screen offended. The
misunderstanding was cleared after an explanation was given.
Corner
with Love has received lots of good reviews and places that appeared in
the drama are becoming hot tourist spots. For example, in the drama the
museum that Da S and Xiao Zhu both stayed in before was previously
listed as a historical building and not open to public. However, due to
Corner with love, under the request of the public, the building has now
been open for the public to visit.
Also, the Shilin ...(not really sure what it is, think is omelettes or somethign?)
da tou long ke zai jian is now also very popular as Xiao Zhu and Fang
fang learned to cook there. Their business is now three to four times
better. Besides that, fans have even asked for tour operators to
organise Corner with Love three days two nights tour package.
In
addition, the most popular thing from the drama now is the specially
designed shoe made by film maker Chai Zhi Ping. Those who want to own
this shoe, go answer some questions on the official website of the
drama after watching the last episode of Corner with love and you can
win the limited edition of the shoe, the televised novel and the
precious art sketches.
