Deric Wan and Louisa So were on rooftop of a deserted building in Fanling yesterday, filming one of [Grey Tracks] falling off the building scenes. The story tells of Deric Wan falling off the building and Louisa So trying to rescue him ,but in the end he falls down and breaks his leg.
Afterwards, Deric Wan explained that this scene was originally planned to be filmed in TVB City, but since it wasn't raining or cloudy, and the timing was right, they decided to change the location to Fanling. As far as the weather being blistering hot with rain, it must have been difficult for him to film? Deric Wan said, "Today is better. During the last few days you could almost get a heat stroke filming on the streets! Luckily today is the last day for outdoor filming."
In regards to filming of the falling off the building scene, was he afraid of heights? He said, "No, this is not my first time at filming a jumping off the building scene. I've taken all safety measures, such as putting on upper waist pads." After completing the scene, Deric Wan will be recording his songs. Originally, he had planned to compose his own songs, but because the weather was too hot he did not have any inspiration.

Furthermore, Louisa So was sick during the filming. She laughed that luckily the filming ended quickly, so she can be treated sooner. Being ill at the same time, she will take some time off and travel with her family. Since she started filming [Grey], she hasn't seen her mom for 2 months. She is taking advantage of the free time to accompany the elderly.

Deric Wan and Louisa So were at an old office building in Fanling yesterday, filming one of TVB's new series [Grey Tracks] jumping off the building scene. Deric Wan, who plays the villain in the series, hangs from a rope along the outside wall of the four-storey building. Even though it was dangerous, Deric Wan, who is used to filming jumping off building scenes, wasn't afraid at all. He laughed that the more he jumps, the more skilled he will be!
During the filming, black clouds covered the sky and there was thunder. To avoid the heavy rain, the director had to quickly finish filming the jumping off building scene. The outcome was very smooth. There wasn't a drop of rain during the filming.
Everything seem to have gone well since the start of the series. Louisa So predicted that the end wouldn't be as smooth. But unbeknownst to everyone, they were looked after by God and no part of the scene needed to be repeated. Everyone was extremely happy about it.
Deric Wan was sweating heavily while hanging from the rope. But he said in comparision to the last few days, today was quite comfortable. With the temperature reaching 37 degrees Celsius, during outdoor filming in the morning, he had to change three undershirts. Plus all the entering to and from the air conditioned van, the cold and hot caused his nose to drip, making it seem like he had a cold.
Louisa So was suppose to save Deric Wan, but in the end she didn't succeed. Deric Wan fell down to the street. Because Louisa So is afraid of heights, the director had to film from a special angle to get the same effect, creating much appreciation from Louisa. In regards to yesterday being the last day for filming, Louisa was quite content because every artist cooperated happily without any quarrels or news, which is something hard to come by.
