Michael Tse and Fala Chen arrived at the Hong Kong Police Shooting Range to practice firing a gun for filming of Lives of Omission. This is the first time the two got the opportunity to practice shooting a gun with real bullets. It was understood that this time TVB handed the script over to the Hong Kong Police Public Relations Branch and applied for this opportunity. As the plot is positive, the police approved the application. This is a rare chance that the police provides assistance. When the crew and artists entered the shooting range, there was a set of regulations they must comply with. The police officer taught Fala and Michael the correct posture when using a gun.
Michael said frankly that this is really the first time he handled a real gun with bullets in it. Although the first shot was very frightening to him, but later it felt more and more satisfying. Michael said: "The guns we used were CID guns. When I opened fire, the backlash power was pretty big. Although we had earmuffs on, but the sound was still so loud and if we didn't have any on, it will definitely make us deaf. It is certainly inevitable to avoid blinking, this is a natural response. Even the best actors will blink." Asked if he felt it satisfied his cravings? He said: "Yeah! That day I fired nearly 60 bullets."
As for Fala, she said frankly her first gun shot using a real gun and bullets felt disappointing. She said: "Because I never tried it before, didn't know the bullet wouldn't come out. Soon after two shots, I started becoming stabled, usually people will aim with their right eye, I used my left and one time I did 10 shots at once, the target took in a lot of gun shots."
Also, the series is schedule to broadcast on August 1st. Michael said without hesitation that he is mentally prepared to receive complaints. He said: "There are a lot of lines that goes over the line, so I am mentally prepared."
