(Very long post)From #MarcoPolo creator #JohnFusco: "I wrote this scene in my first draft years ago, inspired by the true story of the concubine who betrayed Jia Sidao and was therefore instructed to commit suicide. I wanted it to be a powerful, operatic death dance in the style of Tai Chi sword forms. @oonshuan trained with a masterful teacher and did such an amazing job. John Maybury directed it so beautifully." #Netflix #Dance #TaiChi #Swords ----------------------------
thank you @marcopolomp. Thank you #JohnFusco for writing such a powerful scene, @jiasidao_mp's words always broke my heart. John would alwaays always take the time to ask how things were going even though im sure he had a million things on his mind. Side, he really is crazy good at Shaolin Kungfu. Black belt. #dontmess Also... he probably knows more about Chinese Culture than I do! Haha. @johnfmaybury, i remember saying to u, "Noooo!! I dont want to ____!!" And u wld say "Dont worry darling, it will be a beautiful _____." Thank you. I could not have asked for a better way to ____. (No spoilers!) ✨ Check out his ig, i loove his photos! #artistssoul

Sword expert. He really is. Little Jet (like a little Jet Li) who also helped me out, the entire stunt team for making morning trainings so much fun!! @brianho720 @mike_chinger (u guys... i miss our adventures!!) @juji79 @erdentelemisov (spesiba ptitsa and diamond!) and everyone else who is not on ig!!
The costume department for the countless fittings, changing the costume and for staying up till 5am(!!) on the day itself getting the colour just right, and armoury for making me suuch a gorgeous sword.
Martina and Vinni for the perfect i woke up like this look. The camera team, stunning, stunning shots. The AD's for keeping it all together.
