The crew was well-prepared for the scene. They cooperated with the property management company of the building and the best cleaning company in order to shoot it. The rent of the equipment alone devastated Qin Guan, who lowered his proud head before the cost and agreed to use a body double.
The experienced man hung outside the window and finished the scene quickly. He had actually risked his life for a really low price.
His agent was quite satisfied with the crew though. Not all filmmakers considered their work important. If they ran out of money, most crews tended to cut down the body double's salary. Some directors thought of them as mere figurants.
As he sat by the office desk, Qin Guan patted the young man's shoulder. Some appreciation would cheer him up.
Everyone left the office except for the cameraman. Qin Guan carefully used a stethoscope on the safe in an effort to figure out the code.
