In fact, such behavior is a great torture for Zhang Yuqin.
Zhuzhu was her life, her hope, and the only light in her future life. But suddenly one day, this ray of light was extinguished, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to her.
"She was the person who received Zhuzhu's last call before she was murdered. However, due to work, she did not rush home in time, so she must have felt extremely guilty deep down."
The original author of "Devil" added quietly.
This author should be a newcomer, a middle-aged man in his forties, short and fat, a little shy, and wearing glasses. After he finished speaking, when he saw Jiang Se turning to look at him, he pushed the frames of his glasses on his face a little at a loss, and nodded randomly to Jiang Se with a flushed face.
"Yes." Zhao Rang confirmed his statement and added:
"She must have felt extremely painful and resisted returning to her original place, and she also had a subtle feeling of fear and desire."
Zhao Rang said this, made a gesture, and looked at Jiang Se:
"But the power of maternal love allowed her to overcome these thoughts and made her invincible."
So in general, Zhang Yuqin was tortured. She should be decadent, and like an enraged lioness, hiding her ferocity in her heart.
She must have been angry ever since her daughter went missing.
She returned home, a place she actually didn't dare to set foot in. She seemed to hear her daughter's baby voice asking:
"Mom, when will you be back? I have finished my homework..."
Every time she returned to this so-called 'home', she felt more hurt.
But a few months later, she still came back here driven by her firm willpower. The most painful thing for her when she stepped into her old home was not only because she found clues when she stepped into the old home again, but also because she found that in just a few months, her husband Deng Hai seemed to have healed his pain.
There were already women coming in and out of the house. He was protecting others and looked at Zhang Yuqin with some worry.
She is still tracking down Zhuzhu's whereabouts, but Zhuzhu's biological father has already considered the case a thing of the past.
He felt that the matter had already been reported to the police and Zhang Yuqin should not dwell on it any further.
The feeling of having different ideas from her husband must have been a certain blow to her.
The blow did not come from her husband's cheating, but from the fact that the men in this world, who should have the same feelings as her, easily forgot the pain when their daughter was in trouble.
"Sese, do you understand?"
Zhao Rang told the story again, and Jiang Se responded:
"Understood."
"In that case, let's move first and note the positions. We'll start filming tomorrow. There are several groups for this scene, and we need to finish filming within the next few days."
After we finish filming this part, Liu Ye should be arriving soon, and that’s when their real rivalry will begin, and that’s the most important thing.
Zhao Rang clapped his hands, and the crew's deputy director Kang Jiacheng shouted, and the actors needed for this scene gathered in the actor area first.
The lighting technician, photographer, assistant and art staff followed behind Zhao Rang, watching the steps Zhao Rang pointed out for Jiang Se to take, how many steps each would take, where to stop, the focal length and rise and fall of the lens, all of which had to be recorded in detail. This would also facilitate smooth filming tomorrow and save a certain amount of time.
The more Jiang Se got involved in this industry, the more he realized that making a movie was not as simple as it was when he was a supporting actor. Every movement, pause and action had to be coordinated with the camera. Once someone made a mistake, all the preparatory work would be wasted, and the crew would be delayed for one more day.
Doing so not only wastes the entire crew's time and slows down everyone's progress, it is also a waste of investment.
So everyone was paying extra attention when Zhao Rang was explaining. It was almost nine o'clock in the evening when Zhao Rang finished talking about the angles for tomorrow's shooting and the photography assistant marked the track positions where the camera would stop.
Before the shooting even started that day, everyone was already sweating profusely.
In the plot, Zhang Yuqin's original "home" was located outside the city, in a dilapidated bungalow. This area was originally an abandoned demolition site, and most people had moved away. It was only because the government plan had not yet started construction that the bungalows in this area were preserved.
After deciding to shoot "The Devil", the crew first selected a location and rented the area. After a week of renovation, Zhao Rang dug out the original author of "The Devil" and after discussing with him, he spent a large sum of money to redecorate the place.
The abandoned shack was cleaned, the moss on it was shoveled away, the weeds were dealt with, and even according to the original author's wishes, a few haystacks and firewood sheds were temporarily built.
There were fields not far away, but because of the demolition, most people had moved away, leaving behind crops that no one wanted anymore and were overgrown with weeds. At night, Jiang Se could hear the buzzing of mosquitoes around her ears. Even though Mo Anqi was fanning her with a fan, she still had two bites on her arms, which became itchy as she sweated.
"Okay, let's call it a day."
The extras nearby also suffered a lot, but they didn't dare to complain until Zhao Rang called for the end of the work. The actor who played Deng Hai breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly took the wet towel handed to him by the assistant to wipe his face.
"Are you tired?"
Zhao Rang asked Jiang Se with a smile. Jiang Se took the mineral water handed to him by Mo Anqi and drank a few sips before taking a breath:
"This is just the beginning, how can you complain about being tired?"
She looked calm and was not joking with Zhao Rang.
Under the lights around the theater, half of her face was hidden in the darkness. Although she was very thin, her determination was deeper than when Zhao Rang first met her.
By this point, the crew had prepared lunch boxes. Zhao Rang and Jiang Se sat at one table. Not far away, a few extras and Wei Zuo looked envious, as if they wanted to come over but didn't dare.
In comparison, although Zhao Rang and Jiang Se’s dinner was not sumptuous, it was much better than that of the extras. Under the twinkling lights in the distance, there were still actors from the crew working. Several important members of the crew could rest, but the remaining staff still had a lot of things to do.
The original author of "Devil" sat together with the screenwriter and others. He glanced at Jiang Se who was not far away, pushed his glasses, and opened a bottle of beer:
"I used to think being a star was glamorous and being a screenwriter was easy, but I didn't expect it to be so hard."
He also knew Jiang Se. After all, from the China Film Festival to now, among the most popular new female stars in China, there might be no one else except Jiang Se. (To be continued)
