(CNA Reporter Wang Hsin-yu, Taipei, 22nd) The horror film "祭弒" (Sacrifice) held a screening today. Actress Tien Hsin lost weight to just over 40 kilograms for her role, and her Korean husband cooked special meals to help her recover. Actor Lin Hui-min shared that during a scene where he was put in a sack and whipped, he was so nervous he blurted out the word "crazy."
Actors Tien Hsin, Chuang Kai-hsun, Lin Hui-min, and Shao Yi-mei attended a joint interview after the screening today. Tien Hsin loves horror movies in private. To portray the haggard look of her character, she intentionally lost weight to the 40kg range, her lightest ever. However, she smiled and said that after filming and returning to Korea, her husband specially cooked "Taiwanese-style stir-fried vegetables" to nourish her body, which deeply moved her.
Lin Hui-min shared that during a scene where Tien Hsin hit him on the head with a bottle, he was actually very nervous. In another scene where Chuang Kai-hsun put a burlap sack over his head and tied him in a bathtub, his poor visibility and the sound of the whip made him genuinely afraid. He got so into character that he involuntarily yelled "crazy." That genuine feeling made the performance more authentic. Only after filming did he realize his clothes were completely soaked in sweat.
Chuang Kai-hsun mentioned that Tien Hsin's "ghost makeup" was too realistic. One day, he went to say hello while still groggy from waking up. The sight of her instantly woke him up. "It scared me so much I even saved the money for my morning black coffee." For the plot's sake, Shao Yi-mei had to repeatedly eat pork kimchi that looked like food waste, doing 4 takes in total. "By the end, I could even taste if it was Taiwanese-style kimchi."
