A reporter went to the location filming of the campus to interview Gigi Yim filming the wrap-up scene for "Forever Young at Heart". On that day, all the actors who were playing students had to dance in the auditorium. The plot was about a group of students, who are taking an exam, having an 'out-of-body experience' and flying to a dance party, singing and dancing together. Due to the need to fight for time for the shoot, work started at five o'clock in the morning; everyone had to wake up at 2 and 3am to make preparations. That day, there were a lot of people, so it was chaotic. Dancing shots also emphasize being in harmony, and it had to be shot at different angles. Seeing the actors repeatedly getting up from their seats and then dancing non-stop, it was filmed for a few hours...really filmed super labouriously. The actors filmed to the point that they became a bit tired, especially 14-year-old Yumi Chung, who slept sitting upright while the lighting was being done, and then she finally slept on the desk. As for Chantel, she crossed her arms and closed her eyes for a nap. On the other hand, Gigi was energetic and was still sitting upright and mindfully waiting for the camera to roll. Saw her taking a great exhale to relax after she finished dancing, and then fixing her hair and clothing, preparing for the next shot, and then taking time to practice her dancing. She was also smiling throughout the entire process and was very active. Saw her film for a few hours but did not even yawn once. After that, she even had to rush to go to a performance. The 16-year-old girl already has such endurance and professionalism!
Trying Her Best to Rest and Keep Up Her Vitality
Being praised for her professionalism, Gigi said with some innocence, "I don't even know why I would be smiling. I am always laughing foolishly...can ignore me! But I will try to my best to rest to keep up my vitality because performing is really very important. I don't dance a lot, so it is difficult for me. I have to practice so that it becomes very familiar. Don't want to do too badly". However, the most difficult for her is filming a series while taking an exam. She chuckled and said, "Very scared of studying such that [I] don't remember the script. Don't want the script to have mistakes, and then wasting everyone's time. Which should be memorized first then? What can [I] do? Usually have to get home before [I] start studying. Doing [my] best to allocate the time well". As for Chantel, she also praised Gigi for being a very tough person...very professional, and she would eat candy to energize. Yumi said that she will take the opportunity to try to find a place to rest while [they] are changing scenes.
