Feng Nan had a feeling that if he made a mistake, all steps would go wrong.
After hearing what Zhao Junhan said, she didn't feel relieved at all, but felt even more uncomfortable.
If she had successfully obtained the copyright of "The Devil" at the beginning, wouldn't Zhao Rang have easily won the female lead in his new drama "About My Love for You" by now
At this moment, she felt like she was in a state of rage, and Zhao Junhan was still saying:
"It is said that Xia Chaoqun is friends with Liu Ye. She promised Zhao Rang that once Zhao Rang gives up the role of Zhou Wei, she will persuade Liu Ye to play the role of Luo Shen in The Devil in the future."
Feng Nan felt even colder in her heart. She gritted her teeth and forced a smile:
"Xia Chaoqun?"
She vaguely remembered that when Jiang Se signed the contract with Century Galaxy, his agent was Xia Chaoqun.
If the object of Zhao Rang's exchange of interests is Xia Chaoqun, doesn't it mean that the heroine of "About I Love You" is Jiang Se
As she thought of this, she clenched her back teeth so tightly that her cheek muscles twitched.
Jiang Se became busy as soon as the Spring Festival was over. As the crew of "Beijing Events" returned to the imperial capital, she finished filming her own part first, took a three-month leave from school, and after saying goodbye to Pei Yi, she took Mo Anqi directly to Xihang.
The crew of Zhao Rang's "About I Love You" had already set up the set here early in the morning, finished filming some supporting roles, and were waiting for her.
Although someone had mentioned that the box office failure of "The Ninety-Nine Love Letter" in the later period was related to the dispute between her and Zhu Pan, Jiang Se was very calm when she met Zhao Rang again.
Zhao Rang did not blame her for the box office failure of "Love Letter". He was even very happy when he saw her coming.
The male lead who works with Jiang Se this time is also a familiar face. Hang Yuyi, who played Gu Jiaer in "Fake It Comes True", played Zhang Zhen who died as soon as she appeared in "About I Love You".
When he saw Jiang Se joining the group, there was a hint of surprise on his face.
The original female lead for this drama was supposed to be Zhao Ruoyun, but Zhao Ruoyun was temporarily kicked out and it was said that a new female lead was replaced. Hang Yuyi never dreamed that it would be Jiang Se, who was equivalent to a supporting role in Gu Jiaer's movie.
She had great resources this year and was promoted very quickly. They were both newcomers to the film industry, and her popularity and status were much higher than hers. Earlier in "Fake It", Hang Yuyi played the male lead, and Jiang Se was just a stewardess with two lines who passed by him in the play.
Now, she has transformed herself and become the heroine in "About I Love You", and even has an important role. Hang Yuyi can be regarded as her supporting role.
On the first day on the set, they filmed a scene in which Zhou Wei attends the funeral of her soon-to-be ex-boyfriend Zhang Zhen.
The crew had already arranged the set in advance. If Jiang Se had not been delayed in filming "Beijing Events", this scene would not have been delayed until now.
This is the second time Jiang Se and Zhao Rang have worked together. They already have a general understanding of each other's personalities, and the filming process was quite smooth.
Although it is known as a romantic art film, Zhao Rang does not use the intimate scenes between the male and female protagonists as a gimmick, but instead purely uses the emotional scenes of the female protagonist as the entry point.
Under such circumstances, he became doubly strict with Jiang Se.
Whether it was the sense of loss at the funeral or the devastation that followed.
"Zhou Wei felt that the relationship between her and Zhang Zhen had faded and they were on the verge of breaking up, but it was not until Zhang Zhen passed away that she realized that it was not the case."
During the break in filming, Zhao Rang and Jiang Se analyzed the heroine in the new play:
"Some things are suppressed in the heart and revealed inadvertently. You have to grasp the balance."
In fact, after filming Lin Xiwen's "Beijing Events", Zhao Rang found that Jiang Se had made amazing progress. She should have understood the script thoroughly, so when Zhao Rang was explaining the play to her, he understood it immediately.
This scene is about Zhou Wei returning home from get off work and passing by West Lake.
Jiang Se recited the lines for a while, confirmed that they were correct, and made a prepared gesture to Zhao Rang, who then clapped his hands and shouted:
"I'm ready."
The prop master and the lighting technician checked the equipment one after another. Jiang Se took off the coat she was wearing. It was actually still very cold in the West Lake in early March. Jiang Se changed into a white shirt with a light green long skirt. Her long hair was let down. After getting on the bridge, her shoulders bent slightly, and her straight back also showed a slight curve.
This was a little shooting technique she had learned from her predecessors. A slight change could make people see her tiredness and discomfort more clearly. Zhao Rang was indeed very satisfied with her body language and did not stop.
The surrounding scenery is beautiful, and picturesque views can often be seen by the lake. This area has been temporarily isolated by the crew. In the distance, there are still many people watching the crew filming, holding their mobile phones to take pictures of this side.
The camera zoomed in and focused on Jiang Se's face. She walked to the bridge and slowly lay down at the end of the bridge.
This scene, coupled with the beautiful scenery of West Lake, was actually very beautiful, but Zhao Rang felt that something was not right. He thought about it and shouted:
“Cut!”
Jiang Se turned her head and gathered her hair. Zhao Rang called the stage manager and gave him an order:
"Get a fan and go behind her."
After the filming resumed, the camera was pointed at Jiang Se. Before she showed any sadness, the script supervisor had already taken out a fan from somewhere and was gently fanning her from behind.
If he slapped too hard, Zhao Rang would scold him for going too far. If he slapped too lightly, he would also scold him for having no effect.
If you are too far away, the wind volume will not be enough, and if you are too close, it will affect the lens.
The script supervisor was tortured during the shooting of a scene. Jiang Se couldn't help laughing, so the scene was delayed until the afternoon.
After starting over again, Jiang Se took two deep breaths, calmed himself down, and put himself into the emotions of the heroine Zhou Wei in the play.
She imagined herself as the woman who thought she had lost her boyfriend's love, and imagined herself as Zhou Wei, who was about to break up with her boyfriend and wanted to escape from this stagnant life, but suddenly heard the news of her boyfriend's death.
Gradually, Jiang Se's eyes became red. She walked quickly on the bridge, with the camera following behind her. The wind blew her long hair. She walked a few steps, stopped on one side of the bridge, and lay on the railing without moving.
She stared at the lake in the distance, her expression a little dazed.
Zhou Wei in the plot recalled that he had been here with his boyfriend. At that time, Zhang Zhen had not yet become depressed. He was an illustrator with an unstable job, and his biggest wish was to exhibit his paintings in the art gallery next to the West Lake.
He once enthusiastically talked to his girlfriend about his ideals, and he worked very hard to achieve them, putting his passion into his paintings. (To be continued)
