308 Meeting up

Deng hai was still jabbering on and on, while Zhang Yuqin was holding onto ZhuZhu’s belongings. Because Wei Zuo had forgotten his lines, this part was ‘NG’ twice. In addition, the tone of his lines were not on point, and Zhao rang was also very picky about the shadows cast by the lighting technician. It took five takes before it was over.

The photographer entered the room. The next scene had already been arranged yesterday. The lighting technician adjusted the light, but because of time constraints, there was some delay.

It was almost six O ‘clock when they were ready to start filming.

The setting sun passed through the eaves, elongating Zhang Yuzhu’s figure at the door.

“Yuqin, let’s … Let’s get a divorce.”

Deng hai spoke for a long time and finally brought up the main point.

ZhuZhu’s gone. To you and me, it’s a pain. There was also a photographer outside, facing Wei Zuo’s face. Under the light, his face seemed a little dark.

when we see each other again, we’ll think of each other. I can’t stand it anymore.

He said a lot, and a strand of hair fell from Zhang Yuqin’s forehead. Her face was well-defined, and her chin was so thin that it formed a thin curve. She didn’t hear what Deng hai said earlier until he finally mentioned ‘divorce’. She nodded and replied softly,

“Alright,” he said.

The voice was faint, as if she was out of breath. She lowered her eyes, but her expression was firm and cold.

In the camera, Jiang SE’s face appeared despondent and dejected. She was clearly still young, but through the camera, one could see that her heart was like dead water. It was difficult to stir any waves.

At this moment, she was not acting as Zhang Yuqin. In Zhao rang’s eyes, she was Zhang Yuqin. Her drooping shoulders and tired eyes made a woman who had been through life’s hardships come to life.

Her daughter’s life and death were unknown, and she was trapped in a nightmare with hatred in her heart. She returned home to look for traces of her daughter, only to find that her divorced husband had already walked out of the haze in just a few months.

The contrast between a man and a woman in this scene was very strong. Zhang Yuqin’s deep love for her daughter caused her to have a complicated feeling when she returned to the sad place. She guessed that something might have happened to her daughter, and she instinctively felt that her daughter might not be able to come back for the rest of her life.

However, her choice was to face it head-on even though she knew that it was going to be a sea of flames. She swore to find the ‘devil’ that took her daughter away.

On the contrary, Deng hai was also sad, but his sadness was only on the surface. When he faced this unfortunate event, he was much more determined than Zhang Yuqin.

On the surface, he was still living his life with determination. He was not like a walking corpse, he was not hysterical, and he could still speak to his neighbors.

In the script, after Zhu Zhu’s accident, he was the one who ran to the police from time to time, providing clues and reporting the case.

However, compared to Zhang Yuqin’s direct hurt, he was subconsciously avoiding it.

Even after ZhuZhu’s accident, the first thing he did was change the door lock. This action was subconsciously afraid that things would repeat themselves, as if doing so would make him feel at ease. He had a new girlfriend and cleaned up the house again.

It was as if he could instinctively forget everything that had happened before if he didn’t see the things of the past or anything related to his life.

Under a few short shots, the differences and personalities between the couple, Zhang Yuqin and Deng hai, were immediately revealed.

The crew was expected to stay for three days. Jiang se was going to finish filming all of Zhang Yuqin’s scenes on the set in the next few days.

In the movie, the effect of this scene might only be shown for a short ten minutes after editing. However, it tortured Jiang se terribly.

She had to endure the scorching sun and rummage through the straw shed that the props team had temporarily set up. The scene where Zhang Yuqin would return home to look for clues was scheduled in the afternoon. Therefore, Jiang se had suffered enough for the past few days.

Zhao rang had very strict requirements for this movie. Hence, when they were filming this scene, they did not prepare a body double for her. Jiang se had to do all the parts such as searching for the straw shed herself.

She was originally wearing a lot of clothes, and she was sweating very quickly. Every time she was done rummaging through the haystack, the straw would cut her hands into small cuts of various sizes, adding to the authenticity of the film. Jiang se could not show any signs of pain during the shooting to prevent it from affecting Zhang Yuqin’s character setting of being immersed in searching for the ‘devil’ and ignoring her own feelings.

Although the shooting was expected to take three days, due to various reasons, this scene still took five days to finish.

Jiang se rested for two days before Liu Ye finally flew to the southwest province to meet the rest.

Zhao rang, Jiang se, and Liu Ye discussed the subsequent scenes for some time before the crew moved on to the next shooting location.

The set had already been set up. The next scene would be Liu Ye and Jiang SE’s first meeting.

ZhuZhu’s body was found and she had already been killed. After her body was dismembered, it was packed into a bag and thrown by the river where no one had ever been.

The props team had already prepared everything in advance and packed it in a large bag. Jiang se and Liu Ye had to prepare for the scene to be shot tomorrow in advance. They also had to move around and note down the camera’s orbit.

A group of extras recruited in advance by the crew were also among them. Many of them were staring at Liu Ye with excitement.

He was wearing sunglasses and a cap, and he was holding a bottle of water in one hand. Yang Boxi was blowing at him with a mini Charging Fan. Even so, Liu Ye was still sweating a lot.

“It’s so hot here.”

As he spoke, his assistant brought over two bottles of frozen mineral water and handed them to Liu Ye and Jiang se.

Jiang se took the bottle and thanked him. However, Liu Ye noticed that she did not twist the cap off. Instead, she pressed the cold bottle against her face.

It was not that she was not thirsty, as could be seen from her dry lips.

Xia Chaoqun stood behind her as if he did not see Jiang SE’s actions.

This time, when Liu Ye met up with Jiang se in the southwest province, he noticed that she looked even more Haggard than when she was in the capital. Perhaps it was because she had suntan on her, but her skin was not that tanned. However, her eyes were bloodshot and her lips were chapped.

Xia Chaoqun had always been very strict with his artistes ‘appearances. This time, he had allowed her to embarrass herself in this way without saying a word. It was truly rare.

Jiang se was wearing an ankle-length chiffon dress with a sling over her upper body. She had a scarf over her head that covered her arms tightly. She was also wearing a sun hat. The area around the set was relatively empty. In the distance was the factory area, and the factory buildings could be seen everywhere.

The crew chose the set to be next to a river that was about to dry up. There was a stone bridge in the distance, and the pier had been on it for several years and was covered with moss.

The water was yellow and glistening with oil. The cobblestones on the ground were dyed yellow by the factory’s sewage. Many flies buzzed under the hot sun, adding to the dirty and embarrassing atmosphere.
