It's the first time in 18 years of acting that Chen Hanwei laid in the coffin but was it because it'll help him in his promotion & drawing in wealth that he didn't mind?! Though Hanwei made a guest appearance in <Rhapsody in Blue>, but it was his "firsts " in many things! It include his first time: lying in the coffin, dying in first episode, acting as pilot, acting as 40 years old middle aged man! Though he had "died" before in his previous shows, but this is his first time he had a taste of lying in a coffin. He said," At first I was a bit worried, anxious and afraid that I could not hold my breath for more than 10 seconds after shooting the first scenes. But later I realised it's psychological. Moreover the producer and director gave me hongbaos for good luck. So didn't feel so scared." As to having to lie in a coffin, Hanwei wasn't averse to it and even said," In our line, nothing is taboo. Moreover some people said that to be able to wake up after sleeping in the coffin could make one rise to high position and gain wealth! But I didn't tell my family members beforehand that there's such a scene as I'm afraid the old folks at home will be worried and have wild thoughts. My mum saw the preview trailer but didn't say much. Just shouted " May there be luck and bonus'! Hanwei also had a bathing scene where he's almost totally nude! The plot narrates the maid seeing him and the daughter entering the bathroom together, suspecting that they have incest. But it's only a misunderstanding. At first Hanwei wore swimming trunks but changed into shorts later. He said that the scene also revealed a little of his buttock curve, but was not caught on lens! In the drama Hanwei who acted as a pilot had flings with women from America, Germany, Singapore, China etc. The youngest is only 13 years old! Besides he also had bed scenes with at least 2 to 3 extras. You can say he is “lucky in love”! He said he will first discuss with them before acting to prevent misunderstanding. He declared, "It seems they touched me more than me touching them! I felt embarrassed when they touched me too often...' It seems some of them told Hanwei, " We'll keep in touch again another day.", hinting that they want his telephone number. He'll excuse himself saying, "I am going to change clothes" to "avoid" them!
