Earlier this month, local visual effects artist Sofian, better known online as Sofyank96, teased his collaboration with K-pop idol Jun (文俊輝/준), a member of SEVENTEEN (세븐틴). In partnership with Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC), the video project forms part of the promotional campaign for the actor’s upcoming action–thriller film “The Shadow’s Edge”, starring Jackie Chan.
Malaysian fans were thrilled by the announcement and have been eagerly awaiting the content creator’s latest work. The wait is finally over as the video is now out for the world to see. Watch:
Earlier today (Friday, 15th August), Sofian and GSC released the collaboration between the Malaysian influencer and Jun, who plays Hu Feng in “The Shadow’s Edge”. The video opens with the pair seated in a lounge area, where the K-pop idol, in full costume, pulls out a lollipop before Sofian offers to show him a magic trick. The influencer tosses the sweet into the air, where it transforms into a Rubik’s Cube, much to the singer’s amusement.
The singer then takes the 3D combination puzzle from Sofian, insisting he can solve it. However, just as he completes the task, the cube begins to beep and flash with lights like a ticking time bomb. The cube is dropped to the floor before it ‘explodes’, multiplying into hundreds of identical Rubik’s Cubes. The words “The Shadow’s Edge” then appears on the puzzle, inviting fans to watch the film.
“It was such a fun experience shooting a VFX video with Jun, he’s full of energy! If you want to see more magic tricks and action, see it in ‘The Shadow’s Edge’!” Sofian wrote in his captions. SEVENTEEN fans were delighted to finally see the promotional video, with many thanking Sofian for collaborating with Jun. Others remarked on how adorable the singer was when he said “Jom!” at the end of the clip. Influencer Ceddy Ang even suggested that Sofian should make cameo appearances in future films.
We have to agree with Ceddy on this one. As a rising star in VFX, it’s only fitting for Sofian not only to work on high-budget films in the future, but also to make at least one on-screen appearance in those projects. What do you think?
