"The Tang family is rich. How much can they give for this girl?"
During this shot, Zhang Jing'an did not call for a stop. Instead, he made a gesture and the crew used a jib to raise the camera to overlook the actors below.
When shooting such a tense confrontation scene, in order to achieve a very realistic and cruel kidnapping effect, a bird's-eye view was used to capture the expressions of the actors below.
Jiang Se's desperate and frightened expression will be reinforced by visual language to give the audience hints. Her performance was not bad to begin with, and through this shooting method, she in the camera makes people feel the tension and oppressive environment more deeply.
The camera moved from high to low, gradually zooming in. Jiang Se's breathing was picked up by the boom microphone, and her nose and forehead were covered with sweat.
Originally, Zhang Jing'an should have called a halt when filming this scene, but the feeling of filming was very good at this moment, especially Jiang Se's performance which repeatedly surprised Zhang Jing'an. He was not even sure whether Jiang Se would be able to enter such a situation later if he called a halt.
He waved his hand and made a gesture to adjust the lens, signaling the staff controlling the high-altitude lens to carefully adjust the angle and use the illusion of perspective to make the kidnapper look tall and Jiang Se look particularly thin, which would better create the atmosphere.
The real-life shooting was in full swing, but the staff at the door blocked Pei Yi's way and hung curtains outside the studio to ensure that the lighting inside the room would satisfy Zhang Jingan.
No one dared to bear the consequences of letting non-staff into the shooting site without permission. Although Pei Yi was able to easily go up the mountain and enter the shooting base, proving that his identity and background should not be ordinary, the staff finally insisted on letting Pei Yi sit outside for a while.
If Jiang Se was not inside at this time and she was not filming, perhaps Pei Yi would not want to rush in.
He was always stopped, which made him gradually feel a little impatient. No matter how he said that he would not disturb the filming, the staff still refused to believe him.
In his entire life, when had he ever lived in such a lowly way? Pei Yi threw away the backpack hanging from his arm and prepared to force his way in.
In a corner of the house, Jiang Se was completely lost in her memories. Zhang Jing'an's pursuit of real sensory stimulation in the movie made it impossible for her to distinguish between reality and memory. Every kidnapper here seemed to be integrated with the expression in her memory back then.
The sinister smile, the eyes waiting for a price, and even the words spoken are similar to those of the people back then.
Where's Grandpa? She tried to tighten her legs, telling herself that soon Feng Zhongliang would lead people to break into the house, bring the criminals to justice, and rescue her from this cage.
She waited for a long time, so long that her calves were almost numb and sore from the tension, but she still didn't hear Feng Zhongliang calling her name loudly.
During the filming of this moment, every second was an extremely difficult torture for her.
When Pei Yi came in, he saw Jiang Se in a miserable state in the corner. Everyone here was affected by her emotions and thought that her acting was real.
But Pei Yi saw the fear in her eyes, her gaze seemed to have lost focus, he could feel that she was more scared back then than she is now.
Zhang Jingan made a stop gesture and just shouted "OK" when Pei Yi strode towards Jiang Se.
There was something wrong with her. Many people would become hysterical when they were extremely frightened, but she didn't even dare to make a sound. Instead, she forced herself to hold it in. Her nostrils made rapid panting sounds, her nostrils trembled, and her arms were twisted behind her back, as if she had lost consciousness.
Pei Yi felt heartbroken when he saw her like this. He squatted down and hugged her in his arms: "Sese."
Everyone in the studio was watching this scene in surprise. Zhang Jing'an frowned, even a little surprised that such a stranger appeared in the theater.
“Brother Pei…” Everyone who had been immersed in the tense atmosphere of the filming came back to their senses. Mo Anqi couldn’t help but exclaimed when she saw Pei Yi appear.
Pei Yi didn't care about other people's reactions. Jiang Se in his arms was shaking all the time, and he hugged her tighter with pity.
"Sese, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."
He comforted her softly and hugged Jiang Se tighter. Her body felt a little cold. Being so close to her, Pei Yi seemed to be able to hear the sound of blood flowing rapidly in her body.
Before she could react, a hand reached behind her and hooked the rope that bound her.
Actors around such as Liu Ye and Daniel looked at this scene in surprise. They saw Pei Yi untying the rope that tied Jiang Se. He was still calling Jiang Se's name, over and over again, not daring to stop.
He felt a little regretful. He should have come here earlier and shouldn't have spent so much time talking to those people. In fact, she was not completely ready to face the past.
She would be scared without anyone she knew well accompanying her here.
She has always been gentle and quiet. She was born earlier than him and was mentally older than him. She was praised by her elders for being sensible and well-behaved since she was a child. But apart from all this, she was actually still a fearful girl.
"Don't be afraid, Sese." He gave a soothing kiss to the top of her head, not caring about the stains of powder and hairspray on her hair. He hugged Jiang Se tightly, and against her cold body was his warm embrace. His strong arms tightened around her, giving Jiang Se a great sense of security.
His voice brought Jiang Se back to reality. She buried her face in his chest, not daring to lift it up. Even though the ropes had been untied, her arms were still tied behind her back, proving that she was still bound deep down.
"Ayi..." She called out tentatively. Pei Yi nodded heavily and hugged her even tighter:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
His tall stature is not inferior to Daniel, who plays Thomas in the crew, and even taller than him, which gives Jiang Se a great sense of security and encouragement.
The boy who once followed her and held her hand, and who was once shorter than her, now held her in his arms like a protector.
Back then, Feng Zhongliang personally carried her out of the room where she nearly lost her life. But now, while she was recalling the past, Pei Yi pulled her out of the shadow that frightened her.
The moment she saw Pei Yi, she wanted to burst into tears, but she ended up burying her head in his arms, sobbing softly.
This scene made everyone in the theater think that Jiang Se was too immersed in the role, and no one would have thought that she had a similar experience before.
The filming of the kidnapping scene went much more smoothly than Zhang Jingan had imagined. The next thing to be filmed was the discussion between the kidnappers, so Jiang Se took a break.
She hadn't showered or removed her makeup yet, as she had a scene to be filmed later where she was being 'tortured', and Zhang Jingan asked her to maintain this look. (To be continued)
