177 Chapter 177 shooting
In Jiang SE’s makeup photo, the beauty was half-lying on the sofa. Her long hair was tied up, and her expression was languid and alluring. She rested her chin on one hand and held a small golden silk fan in the other. Her eyes were closed, and she seemed to be asleep.
This photo had overturned the impression of a ‘goddess’ that she had given others in ” the 99th love letter “. At least, judging from her appearance, Jiang SE’s makeup photo did look pretty good.
Under the camera, Lin xiwen looked like she was lazy and casual, like a cat, light and charming.
The fitting cheongsam outlined her figure. It clearly did not reveal her chest or thighs, but her fair arms wrapped around her thin waist. The White skin and the dark green color of the cheongsam matched, simple but exuding an alluring and fascinating taste.
There were already people asking where Jiang SE’s cheongsam came from. Some fashion social media accounts shared Jiang SE’s makeup photo and commented on it.
For the filming of ” a Grand occasion of Beiping, ” Jiang SE’s scenes would be shot in three different locations in the country apart from the imperial capital film studios.
The scene at the imperial capital film studio was the last place for reshooting. The crew decided to first head to a mountain area in the southwest of Qinling Mountains to film the scene. In early February, Jiang se bade PEI Yi, who was reluctant to part with her, farewell and boarded a plane with the crew to the southwest province.
There was almost no time for everyone to familiarize themselves with the environment, and the filming site was hurriedly set up.
The film crew was here to pick up the scene where the male and female leads met for the first time. In the plot, after ‘doukou’ lost her family, she escaped alone and was about to go to Beiping to find her fiancé. However, on the way, because of her beauty, she was abducted and forcibly sent to a brothel.
Hong Dou, who was played by fan Zhiyun, was also in the same scene. This scene was mainly in a carriage. In hou Xiling’s script, it was written that it would be a rainy day.
The crew waited for two days. The weather forecast had originally said that it would rain, but the weather was gloomy and the rain did not seem to fall.
Lin xiwen had no choice but to change her previous decision. She prepared a gardening truck and inserted Thunder and other post-production work.
Jiang se had changed into her costume. She was now dressed in a standard refugee outfit. She was wearing a pair of chubby pants and a blue buttoned top. Dora had tied her hair into two braids that hung down in front of her chest. She had also cut her bangs.
In this scene, Lin xiwen didn’t allow her to put on any makeup, so she appeared in the scene without makeup.
A few extras got on the prop carriage and cried. The script supervisor shouted, ”
“Everyone, get into position. As the clapper’s voice rang out, Jiang se entered her zone.
“I’m not going, I’m not going! Where are you taking me?!”
This scene was mainly about ‘doukou’, played by Jiang se, being forced onto the carriage. She struggled with all her might, but she could not fight her fate.
She had a faint feeling that something bad was going to happen once she got on the carriage, so she kept struggling at the beginning.
After the script supervisor shouted ” start! , Jiang se suddenly shouted and struggled. The two extras who were shoving her did not even have time to react.
Lin xiwen, who was not far away, coughed. He was a little surprised at how quickly Jiang se had gotten into the zone. At the same time, he was pleasantly surprised by Jiang SE’s unrestrained performance.
In reality, Lin xiwen was a little worried that Jiang se would not perform well in this scene.
Her temperament was light, and she didn’t seem like someone who could let go. She gave people the feeling that she was introverted and not outgoing.
The scene of her listening to the play at Pear Garden on heavenly Bridge Street during the audition could only be said to be a coincidence of her reserved temperament.
At that time, it was obvious that Jiang SE’s acting skills were still a little rusty. After that, hou Xiling had offered to ask Chang Yuhu to guide her. In reality, Lin xiwen had been worried about her. However, Jiang se had given him a real surprise.
It was just a short struggle, and Lin xiwen couldn’t see any acting, but she wasn’t bound by the airs. She was completely relaxed, and this made Lin xiwen satisfied.
Because of his good mood, Lin xiwen didn’t blame the two extras for their mistakes. Instead, he just smiled and asked them to start over.
“One more time!”
The script supervisor shouted, and everyone stood in their positions. The script supervisor stepped forward and instructed the two extras with lines,
after Jiang se is done with her lines, you guys follow her.
The two of them nodded. The script supervisor turned around and made a hand gesture before quickly running away. When the script supervisor’s board rang, Jiang se struggled again.
“I’m not going, I’m not going! Where are you taking me?!”
The camera moved closer to her. She didn’t have any makeup on, and her face was pale. Even her lips seemed to be trembling.
She struggled with all her might, and the two extras almost couldn’t hold her back.
The two of them did not dare to use too much force to catch her. Jiang se let loose for this scene while the extras were completely suppressed by her. After Lin xiwen shouted “cut “, the two of them were at a loss.
“What the hell?”
The script supervisor was furious when he saw Lin xiwen’s expression. He pointed at the two extras and scolded,
do you still want to act? if you don’t, get lost and stop wasting our time!
The crew had spent a lot of money on this scene. The sprinkler was on standby, and the rent was also quite high. With so many actors ‘time and every second of film, the two extras couldn’t get into the role. If they were delayed for a day, they would be wasted!
The two of them bowed and apologized. Their faces were flushed red. The script supervisor cursed and looked at Jiang se.
“Let’s do it again,”
Jiang se nodded.
Although the temperature in the South in February was not as low as in the imperial capital, the chill still seeped into her bones. Jiang se was wearing a thin costume and the sprinkler was still working. The water fell on her body and quickly drenched her clothes.
She didn’t have any makeup on for this scene. According to Lin xiwen’s request, the more disheveled she looked, the better. So, Dora didn’t even need to touch up her makeup for her and could start shooting right away.
Jiang se glanced at the two extras. The two of them were feeling rather uneasy. They had been replaced, so they appeared even more restrained. She thought about it and said, ”
“Don’t be nervous, try again.”
If this continued, it would only delay the progress.
Her words made the two women nod in embarrassment. Lin xiwen was already calling for another try.
Perhaps it was because they were afraid of being replaced, plus the script supervisor’s angry scolding had given the two women who were extras a certain amount of psychological pressure, so when they re-filmed, the performance of the two extras was undoubtedly much better.
Jiang se read out her lines and struggled.
“I’m not going, I’m not going! Where are you taking me?!”
The two of them held on to her tightly. Jiang se was quite strong, and she almost managed to escape a few times.
The two of them were also afraid that they would be scolded by the script supervisor if they did another ‘ng’, so they held her tightly. When Jiang se struggled to break free from the two of them, one of them even grabbed one of her braids and pulled her back!
