Before filming this scene, Zhao Rang had repeatedly explained that what she wanted to show was that Zhang Yuqin was deeply stimulated, her perception of the outside world completely decreased, she ignored her surroundings, neglected herself, and could only see Zhuzhu in her eyes.
But how to show this kind of emotion? Zhao Rang had the bad idea of using mice.
When the detectives were digging in this harsh environment to search for evidence, they dug up rats running around.
When a rat jumped in front of Zhang Yuqin, she was different from the panicked people around her. She still looked distraught, which left a deeper impression on the audience.
In the crowd, Liu Ye mingled with a group of extras, watching the scene with great interest.
This move of Zhao Rang was indeed very 'ruthless', using the movements of the extras and mice to highlight the 'stillness' of Zhang Yuqin, further highlighting Zhang Yuqin's mental trance at this time due to the severe blow.
It was not until Zhao Rang had driven away seven or eight mice that one finally jumped towards Jiang Se as he wished.
It’s not that Jiang Se isn’t afraid. The dirty gray mouse ran across the back of her feet. In fact, she was covered with goose bumps, but she had to grit her teeth and endure it.
Zhao Rang was not satisfied with her expression in this scene, so he had to reshoot it. In the end, in addition to the fact that Jiang Se's performance might not satisfy Zhao Rang, the most difficult thing to control was the rats jumping around.
Just this shot was 'NG' dozens of times, and Jiang Se was finally tortured to the point of being exhausted before he could barely pass it.
By late July, Jiang Se had almost finished filming her scenes in "The Devil", and all that remained was to reshoot the earlier scenes after she recovered.
It is not easy to lose weight, and it is not easy to restore your health. Pei Yi called her in July. The Pei family arranged an extra month and a half of training for him, and he would return to the capital around late August.
When Jiang Se received his call, he began to speculate on the Pei family's intention.
It is understandable that the Pei family wants their son to become successful, but at her age, she can actually guess many things.
She is not a real twenty-year-old girl, and she knows the Pei family's attitude.
Pei Yi had too few holidays. Since he entered the military academy in Guangzhou, the time he spent returning to the capital gradually decreased, and the two of them had little time to meet.
Perhaps the Pei family was using this method to intentionally distance her from Pei Yi.
They should understand Pei Yi's character and know how stubborn he is. Just like when he set his mind on Feng Nan, even at such a young age, he would not look back.
Pei Yi is young and hot-tempered. If he uses force to separate the two, it may have a counterproductive effect. It is better to use this method to cut the flesh with a soft knife.
When one day the two finally came to their senses, they had drifted further and further apart and became like strangers.
It’s not that she didn’t understand before, but she still held on to a kind of hope. She was slow to warm up to feelings, but her level of seriousness was no less than Pei Yi’s.
Now that they have figured it out, after flying back to the imperial capital, when Mo Anqi asked if Jiang Se should be sent home first, Jiang Se was silent for a while:
"Take me back to Pei Yi's house first. I'll pack some things and move into the house I rented before."
After returning from Southwest Province, Jiang Se was already tired from the heavy daily filming tasks. Now that she had relaxed, the tense nerves in her body loosened and she felt lazy.
Mo Anqi was a little surprised by her decision, but Xia Chaoqun glanced in her direction and said:
"You should take a good rest these two days and focus on recuperating."
Because Jiang Se's filming of "Devil" was affected by the release of "About I Love You", Zhao Rang had already communicated with him at the beginning of the year and decided to schedule the release of the film at the end of September, which is equivalent to avoiding the prime time of summer vacation.
But it’s not long until the end of September, and there’s still a film promotion period before the film is released. Jiang Se only has more than a month to restore her body to its former level, which is also a very difficult task for her.
When she returned to Pei Yi's house, Mo Anqi also came with her to clean up.
After Jiang Se's temporary rental house was exposed by media reporters, he "temporarily" decided to live here. However, he didn't know that what was just a stopgap measure at the time would end up being the place he lived in for such a long time.
Pei Yi left the capital to study elsewhere, and she still lives alone here.
The Pei family should be well aware of this situation. The reason they didn't kick her out is probably because they thought that if they break up in the future, this house would be her compensation.
But for Jiang Se, she is now worth enough to buy a house. The meaning of this place to her is different only because of Pei Yi.
After living there for only a short time, she found that she had a lot of things. She and Mo Anqi were each pushing two suitcases. She thought about it and heard a noise when she passed the living room.
She turned her head and looked over. In the tank on the square table in the living room, two much grown turtles were scrambling to climb onto a rock in the tank, making crackling sounds as they climbed.
These two turtles were bought by Pei Yi, but after he went to Guangzhou to study, she has been taking care of the turtles all the time, and it has been more than a year now.
Someone would come to clean the house every day, and there would always be someone in the refrigerator preparing food for the turtles. Even if she moved away, the two turtles would not starve.
But for some reason, when Mo Anqi looked at her and urged her silently, Jiang Se sighed and put down the box in his hand:
"I'll go get the turtle."
When Pei Yicai bought the turtle, she clearly didn't like these small animals, but now she found it hard to give it up.
There was no sign of joy or anger on her face, but Mo Anqi inexplicably felt that she was in a bad mood.
"Sese, did you have a fight with Brother Pei?"
Mo Anqi recalled the call Jiang Se received from Pei Yi a few days ago when she was away from home. When Jiang Se answered the phone, she was still talking and laughing with Pei Yi, but after the call, she became much quieter.
Jiang Se just shook his head without further explanation.
She hadn't even seen Pei Yi, so what was there to argue about? She just felt a little sad about this relationship that started inexplicably and might end in vain.
When she started dating Pei Yi, she had never imagined the outcome today.
The changes brought about by rebirth, in addition to freedom, also include the gap in identity between her and Pei Yi.
She suddenly felt a little sad.
Although Xia Chaoqun did not arrange any work for her afterwards, she did not reduce her daily dancing and beauty programs. She also began to strictly follow the nutritionist's advice on eating.
After such a busy schedule, by the beginning of September, Jiang Se had gained back 7 kilograms of weight. He suffered just as much as when he first lost weight. In fact, Jiang Se felt it was more painful than when he first lost weight.
Pei Yi, who had agreed to return in late August, was unable to return to the capital when the new semester started. (To be continued)
