JAKARTA - Behind his glamorous international debut, there is a story of struggle that is not easy for Olla Ramlan. He had to be willing to leave his comfort zone and adapt to the conditions of the shooting location which is very extreme.
Olla said that most of the filming locations were in remote areas far from civilization.
"From Kuala Lumpur it's 5 hours away. And that's really in the corners of the forest," he said in South Jakarta, Thursday, February 26.
When he first arrived at the location, he admitted that he had cried. The condition of the very simple lodging, with a toilet 70 meters away, made him feel very surprised.
"I was there, it was the toilet, it was 70 meters I had to walk. Oh! So I sat down and cried first," he recalled.
He felt that his struggle to make a living this time was very heavy. "Oh God, oh God, find money as much as possible," he complained at that time.
There are no luxurious facilities or VIP treatment at the location. All players and crew have to queue to use the same bathroom.
"It's really cold, and it's cold water, no hot water... the bathroom is together. So it's really crowded," he said.
In addition to the minimal facilities, Olla also had to deal with her own fear. Being in the middle of the forest makes her worried about the appearance of wild animals.
"I'm afraid of the challenge, I'm afraid there are snakes, I think that way too," he admitted.
