Chapter 181
Without another word, Jiang se picked up the script again. After reading through it a few times, she heard hou Xiling come over in the rain to explain to her. Then, she touched up her makeup and returned to the carriage.
Fan Zhiyun and Xiao Zi’s scene was put on hold for the time being. The driver drove the carriage and the two carriages brushed past each other.
Jiang se recalled what Lin xiwen had said about ‘there’s hope in your eyes’. She had already made preparations before filming began.
As the sound of horse hooves and wheels rang out outside, the camera zoomed in. Doukou had been in a tense state for two days. Since she had been caught in the carriage, she had not eaten or drunk anything. She had been determined to die and silently resisted.
However, she wasn’t really waiting for death in this state. Instead, she was deliberately showing weakness, waiting for an opportunity to lower the others ‘vigilance and then take the opportunity to escape.
However, red Bean’s escape ruined her original plan. Because of the loss of red bean, the aunt angrily ordered people to seal the carriage that doukou was in, afraid that the rare beauty in her hands would slip away and keep an eye on her.
At this moment, doukou must be feeling extremely stressed. When Jiang se opened her eyes, her gaze was a little unfocused. At first, she looked a little dazed. Then, she seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves. She struggled to sit up while holding onto the wooden boards that had been nailed in the cart. As she hit the wooden boards, she shouted, ”
“Save my life!”
Lin xiwen frowned and hesitated for a moment, but still raised his hand, ”
“Cut.”
PEI Yi did not say a word, but mo Anqi could clearly see his palm spread out and pressed tightly on his thigh. He pursed his lips as if he was trying to hold it in.
“Let’s do it again,”
Lin xiwen did not mention what the problem was. She only asked Jiang se to come again.
The atmosphere in the production team suddenly turned heavy. Song Jin and fan Zhiyun sat behind the umbrella and glanced at PEI Yi from time to time. Jiang se had been shooting the same scene over and over again. She had already done it more than ten times.
This short struggle scene went from less than 10 am to more than 1 am, and it was still not passed.
The rain was getting heavier, and shallow puddles accumulated on the antique stone bricks. Lin xiwen wiped his face and ordered the stage manager,
“Go and find someone to make a few holes in the roof of the carriage.”
The crew members responded and left. PEI Yi sat at the side without moving. Mo Anqi wanted to pass him a cup of warm water, but he did not take it. He only stared at Jiang se through the camera.
In reality, Jiang se was indeed tired after so many ‘NGS’. However, Lin xiwen did not ask her to stop, so she continued to shoot over and over again. She had said two simple lines to the point that her throat had gone hoarse.
“Let’s do it again,”
The props team made a few inconspicuous holes on the roof of the carriage to ensure that rainwater could leak in, but it did not seem too deliberate. After meeting Lin xiwen’s standards, Lin xiwen nodded.
Jiang se took a deep breath. She thought about it for a while and then rubbed her eyes hard. Her hands were not clean, so her eyes were a little red and swollen from the rubbing. Perhaps the sand had entered her eyes as her eyes immediately felt sore.
She endured the pain and fell back into the carriage.
This time, when they started shooting again, the sound of horse hooves mixed with the sound of the wheels, and the sound of rain falling on the roof and the ground was mixed together. It seemed to wake up a doukou from her deep sleep. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted, and her face was sallow. The rain leaked through the gap on the roof of the horse carriage and fell on her body.
Lin xiwen didn’t know if it was sweat or rain, but a few strands of messy hair stuck to her face. She slowly opened her bloodshot eyes, and when the camera captured this scene, Lin xiwen couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction.
“Save my life!”
She banged on the carriage with all her might, hitting the wooden boards that had been nailed shut. Her movements were sluggish and exhausted. After filming so many times, Jiang se had used up a lot of her energy. Her movements were now rather sluggish.
“Get a close-up.”
Lin xiwen instructed. The Executive Director responded and directed the camera to shift to Jiang SE’s face. She was undoubtedly in a sorry state at the moment. However, for some reason, she exuded a strange sense of beauty.
Her eyes seemed to be glistening with tears, and her Phoenix eyes were red, but she held them back, not letting the tears fall. She looked weak, but also stubborn, letting people know that this woman’s beautiful appearance hid her strong character.
save me, Yingluo. Jiang se gritted her teeth. Her cheeks were quivering slightly because she was using too much force. Her shoulders were also shaking as she tried her best to escape from the carriage.
This time, Lin xiwen didn’t call for a cut. The cameo outside finally said his lines, ”
“What’s with the noise?”
As doukou heard the sound of the horse’s hooves and the sound of the muddy water caused by the rolling wheels gradually fade away, she continued patting the carriage, unwilling to give up. However, she felt a little desperate, as if she had used up all her strength, and her whole body trembled as she leaned against the carriage.
The tears that she had held back for a long time rolled down her face, but she widened her eyes even more. Suddenly, she could not help but laugh softly.
In the script, hou Xiling wrote,”her laugh is more ironic than her crying. She laughed at the cold fate and her own insignificance and weakness. It was as if she had seen an absurd scene in the world. At the same time, she felt as if she had been teased by the naughty child fate.”
At that moment, Jiang SE’s eyes were filled with grief. However, she laughed so hard that tears were streaming down her face. She laughed so hard that she even choked on her own laughter. She coughed so hard that tears and snot flowed out, but she continued to laugh softly. In contrast to the dark carriage, there was no moonlight tonight. It was raining cats and dogs. She looked pathetic, but her smile could not hide her beauty. It was a very ironic scene.
She presented the cardamom in hou Xiling’s brush very vividly at this moment.
Behind the camera, hou Xiling was so excited that he was dancing and nodding.
“OK?”Lin xiwen was obviously very satisfied with this scene. He shouted, and Mo Anqi heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to stand up and take care of Jiang se, someone else was faster than her.
PEI Yi, who had been sitting steadily all this while, jumped up from his chair and strode toward the carriage in the rain. He did not even open his umbrella as he took off his clothes.
“Sese.”
He took off the thick down jacket he was wearing and stuck his upper body into the carriage. It was still leaking rain inside. She had been in the rain for three to four hours just to shoot this scene.
The temperature at night was low to begin with. PEI Yi had clearly seen through the camera earlier that her fatigue and discomfort were partly fake and partly real, but she had gritted her teeth and endured it all.
PEI Yi had already noticed her red palms and hoarse voice when Lin xiwen had been dissatisfied with her performance.
His down jacket wrapped Jiang se up tightly and he carried her out of the carriage.
The person who had been sitting behind the camera without a word was now very gentle. He reached out to wipe her cold face that was stained with rain and mud. He placed his hands on her cheeks, trying to give her some warmth.
