Jiang Se's scenes in Shanghai were quickly finished. After finishing all the scenes in Shanghai, the crew started to move to the next shooting location in early October.
This place is located in a place called Xinjie Town in Nanjiang Province. It is the filming location that was investigated by people in Zhang Jingan’s company for more than half a year and finally decided by Zhang Jingan himself.
Last year, Zhang Jing'an's studio had already negotiated a lease with the government of Xinjie Town. The location here is remote and has beautiful mountains and rivers.
Xinjie Town is not well-known, but it was Zhang Jing'an's team who came here to shoot a movie. It is conceivable that once the movie is broadcast, it will be of great help to enhance the fame of this place. By then, the tourism industry may be unprecedentedly developed. As it is related to political achievements, the crew received the warmest welcome from the people here when they came.
The group first flew to Nanjiang Province, and then took a bus that the crew had contracted in advance to get here.
Jiang Se, Liu Ye and others followed Zhang Jingan on the first bus. When they arrived at Xinjie Town, it was just after 1:00 p.m.
The temperature here is slightly lower than in Shanghai. Jiang Se was wearing jeans and a long-sleeved shirt on her upper body, but she felt a little cold when she got off the car. Xia Chaoqun took out the sweater he had prepared long ago and put it on her. She turned around and smiled and thanked Xia Chaoqun.
"Super thoughtful."
When Liu Ye saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile and said.
Xia Chaoqun's abilities are not only demonstrated in business contacts, but when she is interested, she can also take good care of the artists.
Before the crew set off, she probably had already inquired about the terrain, weather and some basic things in the New Territories Town, so on a day like this, she carried a sweater in her backpack just for this moment.
Liu Ye and Xia Chaoqun are old acquaintances. They are of similar age and can chat with each other occasionally. Jiang Se stood quietly aside while the staff member was holding a drawn map and talking to Zhang Jingan about the venue on the mountain.
Mo Anqi took the mosquito repellent, poured it into her palm, and applied it to Jiang Se's exposed neck and wrists. At the same time, she held a fan in her hand to drive away mosquitoes for Jiang Se.
This time, Jiang Se will stay here for nearly two months, and that's if the filming goes smoothly. If not, he might even have to stay for more than a hundred days.
In October, there might be snakes, insects, rats and mosquitoes in such places, so Jiang Se's luggage was also astonishing. He brought seven or eight boxes in total, filled with various clothes, skin care products, medicines, etc. The crew members were moving the luggage and props.
Once the car arrives here, it is very difficult to drive back in. The dense forest here is the characteristic of the New Territories Town, and it is also the reason why Zhang Jingan fell in love with this place.
This place has not been developed yet and there are not many signs of human activities. He has been here several times and there are even large groups of wild monkeys in the mountains.
He greeted Liu Ye and Jiang Se and talked about the filming plan, planning to postpone it for two days to give the group time to get to know each other and adapt to the environment.
Zhang Jing'an and Liu Ye talked about the forest with some interest, but Jiang Se's face turned pale. The filming location was in the forest. The crew had already arranged several scenes to be filmed here half a year ago, but the higher they went up the mountain, the more frightened Jiang Se felt.
Although she agreed to take on "A Glimmer of Hope" this time, in addition to the rare opportunity, it was also due to Pei Yi's encouragement. Pei Yi believed that recovering past memories and facing her past would help her heal the shadow of the past.
During the previous two or three months of studying, filming and reading the script, Jiang Se did feel that she was gradually overcoming her past fears. Every time she read the plot again and recalled more of the past, when she thought about the past, she no longer had the heavy psychological shadow like before.
During the filming in Shanghai, there probably wasn't any actual kidnapping involved, so her performance was relatively stable.
But now that she had come to such a sparsely populated place, without the prosperity and hustle and bustle of a big city, especially facing such a forest, she began to feel a little cold again. The chill did not come from the weather, but from the memories deeper in her heart.
"Are you okay?" Xia Chaoqun noticed that Jiang Se looked a little strange and asked. Jiang Se hesitated for a moment, shook his head hesitantly, but felt anxious and leaned his head on Xia Chaoqun's shoulder:
"Sister Chaoqun."
This was the only person she was familiar with when she was Feng Nan in such a strange place. She rarely acted like a spoiled child. Obviously, Xia Chaoqun was not used to it, but he did not push her away.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nice that you could come here with me." She said softly. Xia Chaoqun was worried that she was sick, so he reached out and touched her forehead. He was relieved only after making sure that she didn't have a fever.
The crew temporarily stayed in the village, and the villagers were very curious about the crew's arrival. When they learned that a group of people were filming for a TV appearance, they looked at the crew with envy and awe. But the village officials must have greeted them in advance, and very few villagers came to harass the crew for autographs or photos.
After two days of rest, the filming officially started. Jiang Se's scenes were almost all concentrated in the New Territories Town, and the crew temporarily built a house on the mountain.
The climate in the mountains is humid and colder than at the foot of the mountain. Even though the weather is sunny at this time, it feels like the sun can't even penetrate the woods.
Jiang Se changed her costume in the makeshift dressing shed. She was still wearing the pink skirt that she had worn on Tang Jing's birthday when they were filming in Shanghai.
The makeup artist applied foundation for her. Her next scene would be to act out the scene where she just woke up after being kidnapped here by the kidnappers.
In order to adapt to the development of the plot, the makeup artist applied a whiter foundation for her and strengthened her eye makeup, using the black of her eyes to set off her snow-white face. Her hairstyle was also made a little messy. When she came out after tidying up, Zhang Jingan took a look and frowned.
Her makeup wasn't looking right; the foundation was too thick. To make it look coordinated, the makeup artist even powdered her neck and hands, making them look so pale that it was a little creepy. Zhang Jingan didn't want this effect, so she shook her head and asked for a remake.
He did not say what feeling he wanted, and the makeup artist nervously modified Jiang Se's makeup again, but still could not satisfy Zhang Jingan. After two or three times, the makeup artist became a little uneasy.
He was not afraid of Zhang Jing'an making demands on him, but he was most afraid that Zhang Jing'an would not make any demands, and would say that the work was not up to standard without saying a word, and that no matter how many changes were made, it still did not meet the director's expectations.
After the fourth makeup change, the makeup artist looked even more nervous than Jiang Se. With the low temperature in the mountains, the sweat on his forehead even smudged his drawn eyebrows, making him look a little disheveled.
He held the script in his hand and had watched the scene that Jiang Se was going to shoot for no less than five times. In this scene, Tang Jing was kidnapped to the mountains on the day after her birthday party without having time to remove her makeup or change her clothes. Facing the gloomy and terrifying kidnappers, she was extremely terrified. (To be continued)
