Rain Films TVC in Shanghai Amidst Firecracker Noises


On the night of the Lantern Festival, Rain, who was dressed in racer's outfit joined in the fun of setting off firecrackers.

Rain is currently filming his TVC in Shanghai. It was lantern festival the day before, and he joined in the fun of setting off firecrackers. At first he found it fun, but when the sounds of firecracker went on non-stop, it affected his recording work and caused him to lose sleep as well, Rain complained that it scares him!

Rain was in Shanghai the year before to shoot his serial drama "Full House". The beautiful scenery there left a deep impression on Rain. This time round, he is back in Shanghai for five days filming his Pantech TVC, and will be shooting scenes in various part of Shanghai. Female lead, Sun Li of movie "Huo Yuan Jia" will be acting as one of Rain's die-hard fan who was blinded while attending one of Rain's concert. A beautiful love relationship developed between the two.

In the TVC, Rain appears in many different images, changing up to 5 sets of clothings per day, including long coats, F1 race outfits, white shirts, purple coats and LV coats with long boots. Outdoor shooting locations include Che Tun indoor filming site to Xin Tian Di etc. Where Rain appears, hundreds of fans are sure to tag along. Hence, the Pantech hired 6 tall security personnel to maintain safety and orderly.

It's Lantern Festival the night before. According to Shanghai traditions, people were setting off firecrackers everywhere. At the outdoor shooting location, playful Rain had a go at setting off firecrackers as well. At first he found it really fun, but that night, when he was at the studio recording his Chinese song, the ongoing noises of the firecracker soon became a source of distraction. On top of that, sound-proofing proved to be another problem, and the session had to be cancelled. Even when he returned to the hotel, the firecracker sound haunted him so he couldn't rest properly. The next day, he was expressing phobia upon seeing firecrackers.

Other than sleeping problems, he couldn't eat well too. As Rain wasn't used to eating Shanghai food, he got staff members to help him buy Korean rice boxes and Kimchi ramen for meals. As to his female lead, Sun Li, she wasn't worried about worried fans despite the many intimate scenes with Rain, such as hugging and holding hands. She said that Rain was easy-going and very serious towards work, but was worried that Rain would have problem with eating and sleeping because he looked tired during filming.
