Ever since the secret fight between the two of them the day before yesterday, Laura was too lazy to pretend to be friendly in front of Jiang Se. On the set, she almost treated Jiang Se as air, and naturally cursed him behind his back. The agent looked at Laura's expression and nodded:
"She didn't have many scenes, and it was her last scene, so she had to leave after filming."
Laura noticed that Xia Chaoqun was chatting with the pyrotechnician. Since the crew was almost entirely made up of Europeans and Americans, Jiang Se and his group stood out. Laura recognized Jiang Se's people at a glance.
She pulled the corners of her mouth and revealed a sneer. She received the plot to be filmed today last night, and also heard that Jiang Se should have an important scene to perform in the last scene. After taking over the script of "God's Redemption", Laura also read the script of "Prisoners" and knew the ending of Xilin played by Jiang Se. At this time, seeing Xia Chaoqun communicating with the pyrotechnician, she naturally guessed what scene Jiang Se was going to shoot.
She hooked her finger, and the assistant beside her came over and she leaned over.
Agent Jack obviously knew her character very well. When he saw her actions, he frowned and patted her shoulder:
"Laura," he interrupted what Laura was about to do. He lowered his voice and said with a warning tone:
"Don't mess around. If you don't like her, she will leave the crew in two days at most. There's no need to cause any trouble."
After he finished speaking, he also realized that his tone was a bit heavy. Fearing that he would cause Laura's disgust, he looked around, coughed lightly, lowered his head, and softened his tone by tidying up her collar and hair:
"You are the lead actor, and she is just a supporting role who won't appear in many scenes in the movie. You just need to shoot "Divine Redemption" well. Cesare is planning to win the Angel Award for this movie, and he has been preparing for many years."
He paused for a while and looked at Jiang Se. "You got this opportunity because Mr. Smith had worked hard to get it through personal friendship."
Jack was still trying to persuade her:
"Cesare has a personal relationship with her. It is not wise to offend her. Besides, this girl is not a coward."
On the first day they met, when Laura was mocking her, she retorted without hesitation, making Laura lose face in front of everyone.
From this point, Jack could tell that Jiang Se was definitely not a cowardly girl who would swallow her anger while working abroad. "Be patient for two days, don't be willful, and be obedient, okay, my good girl."
Laura slapped his hand away, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
It was because Jiang Se was not cowardly that the two of them had a conflict. Laura could not forget what happened on the day of the start of work. She pulled the assistant next to her, ignored the agent's obstruction, whispered a few words, and patted her shoulder:
"Do it beautifully."
Jack's brow furrowed, and the assistant walked away cautiously.
Jiang Se and Donald have rehearsed the next scene. The crew has already taken protective measures for her. Before putting on the heat-insulating clothes, Xia Chaoqun and Mo Anqi have checked the protection to ensure that Jiang Se will not be burned. After applying fire retardant oil, the makeup artist has already made the outer layer look like skin color. Mo Anqi is still comforting Jiang Se:
"Just bear with it. The scene has been rehearsed many times. As soon as the director calls cut, a fire extinguisher will be brought out immediately."
So what is really difficult is to overcome your own psychological barriers.
Before this, Jiang Se had rehearsed the scene with Donald many times, and his facial and body language performances had passed in front of Cesare. In Cesare's words, "The only thing missing is a fire to take Shireen away", and Jiang Se's scene would be successfully concluded.
By the time I finished my makeup, it was almost seven in the evening.
All the staff were in their positions. Jiang Se's body had been coated with low-temperature burning oil, and they were just waiting for the director's order so that the pyrotechnician could slowly ignite her body.
Everyone was ready for the filming of this scene. The camera was pointed at Jiang Se. In the night, Donald adjusted his facial expressions. After the script supervisor clapped the clapboard, he quickly got into the state.
"...Supreme Father, I am willing to follow your instructions and receive your salvation..."
After Andre coaxed the spell to communicate with God out of Shilin's mouth, he finally couldn't bear his inner greed and recited this spell aloud.
He needed a miracle to prove that the faith of his first half of life was not a joke. Deep in his heart, he also had a desire to soar into the sky. He wanted to leave this dilapidated church, become the supreme Pope, control the Holy See, become God's spokesperson on earth, and realize his endless desires.
As Andrei sacrifices the unsuspecting Shireen, sparks begin to fly between the poor girl's legs.
The flames quickly spread over her body, around her waist and up.
The pyrotechnician controlled the time and watched the fire burn on her body, which soon grew bigger and bigger. Xilin, played by Jiang Se, first showed a look of pain on her face unconsciously, as if she didn't realize what was happening to her.
She just slapped the flames on her body unconsciously, but the flames were so fierce that they soon surrounded her body.
No matter how calm and composed Jiang Se was, she couldn't help feeling a little scared at this moment. It was the first time she experienced such a scene, and the feeling of the fire burning on her body was not pleasant. However, despite the protective measures, she did not suffer much damage.
But what she had to overcome was the fear of the fire quickly spreading to her upper body. Fortunately, Jiang Se was mentally prepared for such a situation, so she suppressed her panic. When she felt the flames crawling to her arms, chest and back, she seized the time and looked up at Andre in front of her according to the previous drill.
"Andre..." she murmured. She originally wanted to ask her companions for help, but when she heard the spell Andre chanted, she understood the situation in an instant.
"Are you praying to God? Ah..." Jiang Se's face showed panic mixed with pain and disbelief, and also a faint feeling of anger after being betrayed by his companions.
Her scream was not fake, because she found that the flames were getting bigger and bigger, and had already burned to her back. She felt the burning sensation on the back of her neck, and even smelled burnt on the ends of her hair.
Jiang Se's heart sank. This situation was not normal. The pyrotechnician had clearly said before they started that she had taken good protective measures during the filming and it was absolutely impossible for her to have such a feeling.
There was an asbestos protective suit on her back, and the skin and leather armor outside were all painted, so the low-temperature flames could not hurt her. However, the skin on her neck was only coated with fire-retardant oil, but it shouldn't feel like that.
In an instant, several thoughts flashed through Jiang Se's mind, but she didn't dare to show them. Cesare hadn't called for a stop yet. In order to shoot such a scene, the crew members had not only paid a huge amount of money and time, but also film.
Once she stopped, all her preparations would be in vain, and everything she did now would be in waste. Even if there was a reason, it would anger Cesare.
Thinking of this, Jiang Se forced herself to suppress the panic in her heart. The flame was still a few seconds away from her neck, and her eyes seemed to be spewing flames.
Jiang Se was not just acting at this moment. There was a problem with the fire retardant oil. Xia Chaoqun and others checked the protective clothing, the low-temperature burning oil, and even the fire extinguishing equipment, but they missed the protective oil.
"What have you done!" she shouted, her voice shrill and sharp, echoing throughout the set.
At this moment, Jiang Se's expression was distorted, her face was red, and anger was spreading from her face and limbs.
Not only was Donald, who played Andre, startled by her angry shout, his body trembled slightly and then he lowered his head even lower, but even many staff members who were nearby showed surprise on their faces.
Shireen wanted to walk towards Andre, but the great pain at this moment caused her originally straight back to bend down. Her hands, which were already full of flames, subconsciously wanted to cover her face. The fire on her body burned faster and faster, almost drowning her in the sea of fire.
She was too smart not to realize that she had been betrayed by her trusted companion.
After she took a step forward, Andre instinctively stepped back a little, still chanting the spell. The fire on Shireen's body burned faster and faster, spreading to her shoulders and neck, and it seemed that the fire would engulf her in an instant.
She did not die in the war against heretics, nor did she die in the church mission for which she swore to serve for the rest of her life. Instead, she died from the greed of her companions. For Shireen, this was tantamount to a great betrayal!
Andre didn't dare to look into her eyes, but just chanted the spell faster.
Cesare looked at Jiang Se's face in the camera, which was about to be swallowed by the flames, but she could not hide the anger steaming on her face.
Jiang Se felt that his neck and hair were burning, and his cheeks were being burned by the flames, the heat was unbearable.
In the script, she should have taken a step forward angrily and wanted to reach out and grab Andre, but the next moment she was surrounded by flames, turned into nothing, and disappeared from this world.
In other words, at this moment she only needs to take one step forward and all her scenes can be filmed.
She had walked through this several times during the drill. As long as she made a slight lunging motion, the fire extinguisher not far away would spray water on her.
But now she already felt the pain in her neck. The easy movements during practice were now extremely difficult. She didn't need to act out an expression of pain; it showed on her face truly.
The flames raised the temperature of the surroundings, and the smoke blocked her eyes. She could only vaguely see the crew members holding fire extinguishers in the distance, ready for action.
She rushed towards Donald like a headless fly, enduring the pain. Cesare raised his hand and swung it down. There was a sound of a fire extinguisher being turned on. The dry powder submerged Jiang Se and the raging flames were instantly extinguished.
Jiang Se continued to move forward, and fell to the ground due to inertia. The powder sprayed all over her head and face. She closed her eyes and didn't even dare to breathe.
She didn't feel good after filming this scene. Every pore on her body was covered with fire-extinguishing powder. She coughed twice and felt the smell in her mouth, throat, and chest. Jiang Se dry-heaved twice, and her previously tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
Amid the rapid thumping of his heart, Cesare praised him with some praise:
"Jiang, you did a great job. The first few micro-expressions were quite interesting."
Xia Chaoqun, Mo Anqi and others came over with wet towels that had been prepared long ago. The powder was still floating at the scene. A hand was stretched out in front of Jiang Se. Jiang Se held back his cough and stood up while pulling the hand.
After she was a little further away from the dust and fog, she saw that the person who helped her was Donald, who played the male lead Andre in "God's Redemption".
This top Italian male star usually doesn't talk much and is rather aloof. Jiang Se has hardly chatted with him during the days he has been working with him. She didn't expect that he would take the initiative to reach out and pull her up.
"Thanks... ahem, thank you."
Her throat and mouth were almost full of dust, and her throat felt very uncomfortable when she spoke. As soon as she opened her eyes, tears were about to flow out.
Jiang Se looked very embarrassed at the moment. Donald smiled gently and nodded:
"After washing your face, you will feel better."
He reminded, and Xia Chaoqun brought over a handkerchief that had just been wrung out of hot water. Although the heat had dropped a little due to the cold temperature on the scene, when it was put on Jiang Se's face, it still made her cheeks that were burned by the flames feel a stinging sensation.
Jiang Se grabbed the handkerchief, coughed twice, endured the pain and gently wiped the corners of his eyes and lips, then took the water handed to him by Mo Anqi to rinse his mouth. After several times, he felt much better and could say a complete word of thanks.
"There's something wrong with the fire retardant oil."
Her eyes were red and she said this when she raised her head, which made Xia Chaoqun's expression tense and his eyes showed sharpness.
In the distance, Cesare was still extremely happy about the successful filming of the previous scene, and thought it was particularly wonderful. Jiang Se lowered his voice, washed the towel again with the hot water brought by Mo Anqi, and wiped his head and face.
At this time, she looked extremely disheveled and her cheeks were flushed. Fortunately, she should not have suffered serious injuries. However, her neck, chin and other parts of her body felt hot, and her hair should have been burned.
Mo Anqi suppressed her fear and looked at Xia Chaoqun. After hearing Jiang Se's words, she felt shocked and blamed herself:
"I'll find out."
She should have been more responsible in the preparations before the shooting. She is Jiang Se's only assistant at the moment, and she is also the one who takes care of daily life. She should have checked things like protective clothing, fire retardant oil and fire extinguishers more carefully before such a dangerous shooting.
But I didn't expect that there would be no problems with the protective clothing, thermal insulation clothing, and fire-fighting equipment, but an accident would happen in a small place like the fire retardant oil.
Fortunately, Jiang Se did not panic, but remained calm and patient to finish filming the scene first. Otherwise, if she panicked and something unexpected happened on the crew, the staff would probably also cause trouble, which would lead to a more serious situation.
After removing her makeup, Jiang Se's cheeks were fortunately not burned, but her skin was still rosy and needed some proper care.
The most serious problem was her hair. She had been keeping her hair long for the past few years since her rebirth. When she was filming, her hair had grown to below her hips. Her hair was originally as black as satin, smooth and thick, but after being burned by the fire, the ends of her hair looked dry and brittle, breaking easily with a pinch. It also had a burnt smell. After trimming, I'm afraid it can only be kept to waist length at most.
When Mo Anqi saw her hair burnt like this, tears started to flow. (To be continued)
