From her conversation with the man, Ailino gradually relaxed and tried to figure out who he really was.
Qiao Xiaren played three roles in Crisis III: Kim's girlfriend Ailino, the bartender Ali, and ultimately the big boss, the Big Demon King of this film.
The three roles were entirely different—forget personality, they even differed in gender.
This posed quite a challenge to an actor's skills. Qiao Xiaren's sharp features were already striking, and her acting in "Cold Enough" and "Destination" had garnered her some acclaim. The director had essentially set his sights on her.
Ailino and Ali were relatively ordinary characters on the surface, but the one truly capable of subverting audience expectations was the Big Demon King, the final character to appear.
How could the big boss behind the scenes not do martial arts? The movie would feature numerous fight scenes, but luckily Qiao Xiaren already had experience that matched the character's requirements.
