Perhaps it was the promotional livestream at the night market, or perhaps it was the stark contrast presented in the stills that piqued the interest of many in the film "Dog Journey."
To maintain a sense of mystery, Gu Hanyin had the actress's makeup done and the way from the hotel to the van covered to prevent paparazzi or fans from taking pictures.
Upon arriving at the film set, the makeup artist continued to add bruises and bloodstains to Cen Yu's face.
Ji Hengyun sat next to him, looking somewhat disheveled, while Lin Meili, the actress, laughed at the sight of the two of them.
"Shall I take a picture of you two?" Lin Meili asked, holding up her phone.
She had worked with Gu Hanyin a few times and was also quite familiar with Ji Hengyun. After spending half a month with her, she had also become quite familiar with Cen Yu, and her tone became much more casual.
Lin Meili's role is primarily to introduce the story; she doesn't have many scenes in the movie. After filming today, she can finish all her scenes and then join the cast of her next TV series.
Upon hearing this, Ji Hengyun opened his eyes and said, "Okay."
He looked at Cen Yu beside him and said, "Xiao Yu, come take a picture with me."
Cen Yu immediately pulled a chair over to Ji Hengyun's side, and the two of them huddled together, making a "V" sign for the camera.
Lin Meili looked at the two people on her phone.
Because today's scene was filmed in the toilet, both of them looked rather disheveled. Cen Yu's cotton-padded jacket had a big hole in it, his hair was a mess, and there were marks on his face from being punched.
Ji Hengyun wasn't much better off; Qian Aige, who always used a wild, unpredictable style of fighting, took advantage of the chaos to hit him quite a few times.
After filming, Ji Hengyun lost the ruthless edge of the fugitive on screen and looked much gentler. Cen Yu's expression, on the other hand, became more lively. After filming, he said with a grin, "Teacher Ji, Director Gu told me not to hold back later."
Ji Hengyun turned to look at Cen Yu sitting next to her.
The other person's hair was messy, the marks left from when they were wrestling on the ground.
He reached out and gently ruffled the other person's messy hair. "I didn't ask you to go easy on me either."
Cen Yu's face not only bore the fresh wounds the makeup artist had just added, but also the dust they'd picked up while wrestling on the ground... Ji Hengyun chuckled, "You're actually looking forward to it?"
They had just filmed this scene several times, and Gu Hanyin was not very satisfied with any of them.
Ji Hengyun could also sense that Cen Yu was holding back, as if he was worried about really hurting himself.
This also resulted in the two people in the scene being wrestled, but they always seemed unable to exert any force—until Gu Hanyin called "cut" again, telling them to go talk and touch up their makeup.
Unlike the first time, Gu Hanyin spoke up this time.
He stood up from his chair and walked over to Cen Yu. "Ji Hengyun isn't made of paper. Do you think we're afraid of breaking him apart?"
Cen Yu may have thought she had acted very seriously, but in the footage, everyone could see that Qian Aige hadn't given it her all.
“Qian Aige and Lin Meili’s honey trap was discovered by Sun Biao.”
“Sun Biao is no pushover, especially in Chuncheng… a poor, remote place, back in 2006 when information wasn’t readily available. When Qian Aige was secretly filming him, he was genuinely planning to kill her.”
“Qian Aige grew up on the streets and never learned proper fighting. He’s no match for Sun Biao, but he’s desperate to live, so he’ll use any trick he can think of when he gets ruthless.” Gu Hanyin stretched out her hand and opened it in front of Cen Yu.
Cen Yu didn't understand what he meant.
"Give me your hand," Gu Hanyin said.
Cen Yu then reached out his hand.
Gu Hanyin grasped Cen Yu's hand through her gloves and guided him to throw a punch—
"Do you think Qian Aige still has time to think about how to fairly and justly defeat Sun Biao at this point?"
"Whether it's gouging eyes, groin-splitting, biting, or spitting... Qian Aige will do whatever it takes to survive at this time." Gu Hanyin turned to look at Ji Hengyun, "I'll make sure you're well-protected."
Upon hearing this, Ji Hengyun gasped, "Old Gu, you're ruthless."
But he was just joking.
In the script, when they were fighting, Lin Meili had already run away, so they ended up fighting directly on the ground.
Later on, Sun Biao really wanted to strangle Qian Aige.
His hand was already around Qian Aige's neck. In an attempt to survive, Qian Aige kicked and punched Sun Biao with all her might. Unfortunately, the two were too different in size. In the end, it was Lin Meili, who had returned, who saved Qian Aige's life.
Cen Yu understood this principle, of course, but when he glanced at Ji Hengyun beside him, he still hesitated—
"What if Teacher Ji bites me and draws blood?"
In the script, when Sun Biao was about to choke Qian Aige, Qian Aige had already been beaten until she vomited blood and had little strength to resist, so she could only bite Sun Biao's arm to make him let go.
When Cen Yu bit Ji Hengyun, he held back his strength because he was genuinely worried about drawing blood.
Ji Hengyun raised his hand to look at his forearm. "It's nothing, it's just for filming."
"You two should discuss it," Gu Hanyin said finally.
...
"Teacher Ji, do you think this is okay?" Cen Yu gestured again, mimicking their fighting movements.
Of course, there are specific instructions for this part, but when it comes to actual fighting, it's not like filming a martial arts movie where you're exchanging blows, so the grappling movements inevitably have to be more realistic.
"If I bite you then, you can just slap me across the face."
In the script, Sun Biao was gradually provoked by Qian Aige's actions. He may have initially just wanted to teach Qian Aige a lesson to vent his anger, but things got out of control when they started fighting.
Seeing that things were going badly, Lin Meili immediately ran away. But halfway there, she worried that Qian Aige might be beaten to death, so she decided to go back to save him.
