Selena Li and Tavia Yeung were shooting a slapping scene for the series "Beyond the Realm of Conscience" the other day. The storyline consists of both of them (imperial concubines) being favored by the emperor. Due to competing with each other they fight. Selena slaps Tavia very hard. On camera they compete with each other but off set they are very good friends.

Selena said frankly that she was afraid of hitting Tavia. "You must grow your nails to portray a imperial concubine. Therefore I was afraid I would injure Tavia's face. I felt a lot of pressure. We tried different positions and attempted not to use real force. But the outcome wasn't great. In the end we decided to slap for real. But of course I didn't use any force on her. Later in the series, Tavia will slap me twice. I hope when we shoot those scenes she will go easy on me."

Tavia stated that the most painful part was her neck. She said "Selena went easy on me, so why would my face hurt? Instead my neck hurts because the headdress is heavy. But in order to shoot beautiful footage I will adapt to the most heavy headdress. Susan Tse Suet Sam has the heaviest headdress in the series because the heavier the headdress the higher the ranking.
