Attracting an audience this way was a lot better than creating scandals for the production team.
To Xie Mianliang, attraction by scandal was nothing but hype, while attraction through the gem required skill.
MonRoe was most likely not going to only provide the Star of Peace, but other jewels as well.
Jewels were one of their film's themes, and actual jewels could appear for a longer time on camera instead of just showing a flash.
If it were fake, they wouldn't give the 'jewels' too many scenes just in case the audience would be suspicious, but filming it this way would create a film without substance.
Only by creating that earth-shattering effect through filming the jewels could the audience understand why the jewel made so many fall for it.
There were already countless heist films, but Xie Manliang wanted to recreate a classic by interpreting it through a different lens.
