Su You Peng and Jia Jingwen once made the audience "restless" with their bold promotion for The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber 2002. Few people expected that behind that was a surprising story from behind the scenes of the film.

The Chinese online community was abuzz when Sina re-posted behind-the-scenes photos of the 2002 Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber , the version starring Su Youpeng and Jia Jingwen. Even though more than 20 years have passed, this series of bold promotional photos still makes the audience talk excitedly because of the rare "willingness to spend" - something that even today's young actors find difficult to do.

According to Sina, in 2002, The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber was broadcast on CTS (Taiwan) but did not achieve the expected results. The film's rating at that time was inferior to many works of the same period such as Love has not ended (FTV), Taiwan's Phich Lich Hoa (SET) or Nhu Lai Than Chuong (CTV ). The failure to create a buzz forced the crew to find ways to attract attention to save the situation.

To increase coverage, the male lead To Huu Bang at that time made a "shocking" statement: if the film reached a rating of 7, he was willing to... run around the studio. Although the actual number only stopped at 3, the film crew still decided to release a promotional photo series of the two main characters "showering in roses" to symbolize the message of "getting rich when meeting water". The photo series quickly became a hot topic in newspapers and forums at that time.

Alyssa Chia later shared that it was the first time she had to do a shower scene with a male colleague. The actress said that she was initially very shy, but thanks to Su Youpeng's humor and easy-going spirit, the two quickly completed the scene. Actor Su also took the initiative to joke around, breaking the tense atmosphere to help his co-star feel more comfortable, showing professionalism and sophistication.

Chinese media commented that, compared to today – when social networks are strongly developed, artists have a series of media channels to promote products – then in the 2000s, attracting attention almost had to rely on bold tricks. When attending modern press conferences, artists often keep their distance, avoiding intimate interactions to avoid scandals. Meanwhile, more than two decades ago, kissing, joking or teasing each other on stage were considered natural ways to attract audiences.

Although the initial effect was not as expected, Ỷ Thiên Đồ Long Ký 2002 is still considered one of the most classic versions of Jin Yong's novel on screen. The film brings together a talented cast including Tô Hữu Bằng (as Trương Vô Kỵ), Jia Jingwen (Triệu Mẫn), Cao Viên Viên (Chu Chỉ Nhược), Trần Tử Hàm (Ân Ly)... With a well-rounded performance, outstanding beauty and a story line faithful to the original, the film quickly became a childhood symbol of millions of viewers.

The role of Truong Vo Ky helped To Huu Bang escape the gentle "jade tree" image in previous idol dramas, marking a turning point in his acting career. Meanwhile, Gia Tinh Van and Cao Vien Vien also became "new generation goddesses", conquering audiences across Asia thanks to their beauty and natural acting. After more than two decades, looking back, audiences still remember The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber 2002 not only because of its attractive content, but also because of the "unique" way the film crew promoted it.
