Chapter 185
The filming of "Stockholm Lovers" can be said to be very smooth overall. There is no need to talk about Jing Ling. Although Shen Weiwei is a newcomer, she is very talented. In addition, the role of the heroine is relatively less difficult. Under the guidance of Director Gu, most of the scenes can be shot quickly. Occasionally, there are one or two difficult shots. After a few more times of adjustment, the requirements can be met.
The individual shots were shot separately, and while Jing Ling was filming, she was studying the script on the side.
Changchuling has a pleasant climate. Even in the hot summer, the mountain is still cool. A month passed quickly. During this period, Jing Ling and Shen Weiwei took leave to go back for the exam. The former had a photographic memory, and the latter was usually very serious. In addition, the teacher would draw a rough scope for the exam, so in the end they passed the exam without a doubt. When the results came out later, Jing Ling still firmly sat on the throne of first place in the grade. Although Shen Weiwei was not so exaggerated, she was also ranked at the top. It can be said that they were a combination of two top students.
After returning from the exam, the two finally got the chance to film a scene opposite each other.
Zhou Xiao had imprisoned Huang Qingqing for several days, and this was the first time he appeared in front of her.
When she started fighting before, she was only concerned with anger and struggle. Only now did she realize that the gentle and elegant face she loved most in the past now looked so hideous. At night in the mountains, the sounds of unknown birds and insects were intertwined. There were faint noises in the corners of the house, perhaps a mouse, or some other insect. In short, the things she was afraid of were everywhere.
She hated Zhou Xiao, but at the same time she missed him. At least with someone by her side, she wouldn't be so scared. But even though she shouted until her throat was hoarse, he never showed up, so much so that she once suspected that he was cruel enough to abandon her to the wilderness to fend for herself. Until yesterday when she accidentally heard a noise outside the house. At first she thought something was approaching her and was scared to death. She curled up in the corner and trembled. It took her a long time to regain her senses. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was not a sound made by an animal. So there was only one possibility left, that Zhou Xiao was outside.
Or maybe, he has always been there.
Then why didn't he come in to see her?
Not everyone can clearly distinguish between love and hate and cut the Gordian knot. Huang Qingqing is just in love, or maybe Zhou Xiao really disguised himself too well in the early stage. Such a boyfriend who is so handsome and envied by everyone, treats her like a princess in every word and action. It is like a chronic poison. You don't feel it at first, but when it breaks out, you realize that it has already penetrated deep into your bones and is incurable.
She hated Zhou Xiao, but still loved him. He would even occasionally reflect on whether he had done something wrong that caused him to suddenly change his temper.
As time went by, hunger and fear became more and more intense. She almost lost the strength to call for help. At this time, she finally saw Zhou Xiao.
He held dry bread in one hand and a bottle of purified water in the other. The door was kicked open with a dry and harsh creaking sound. It hit the wall with too much force and there was a loud bang. The sunlight rushed through the door frame. A lot of dust was floating in the air, which was the product of the collision just now.
Over the past few days, Huang Qingqing has already gotten used to the dim light. The sudden bright light made her subconsciously close her eyes and turn her head to the side. After a while, I got used to it and turned around to look at the door.
A tall figure stood there, against the light, and his face could not be seen clearly for a moment. The sunlight shone on him, giving the entire outline a layer of gold, and even the dust floating around seemed to become embellishment.
Like a hero, walking on the light.
At this moment, Huang Qingqing temporarily forgot her hatred, and only joy remained in her heart. She called his name, her voice hoarse and weak, almost inaudible, "Axiao..." She didn't say the rest of the words, and suddenly stopped abruptly.
Because he took a few steps forward, came in front of her, and looked down at her. She finally saw his face clearly. How should she describe his expression at that moment? Huang Qingqing thought for a long time and finally found a suitable one.
It was as if he was looking at a dead person, his eyes were cold and motionless.
He held dry bread in one hand and pure water in the other.
Huang Qingqing felt a chill suddenly rising in his heart, flowing through his blood vessels and instantly spreading throughout his body. Fear was infinitely magnified at this moment. Because of Zhou Xiao's current appearance, and also because the only remaining fantasy in her heart that supported her through night after night was shattered.
People tend to have wild thoughts when they are in extreme emotions. Even the things Zhou Xiao was holding reminded her of her last meal.
"No! Don't kill me! No! Please..." She was already in the corner and had nowhere to retreat, but her body still subconsciously moved backwards, trying to get away from this demon.
…
"Cut! Passed!" Director Gu's voice suddenly sounded.
Jing Ling instantly broke away from the role. However, Shen Weiwei in the corner was still curled up in the corner and shivering.
“Weiwei, it’s done!”Gu Dao was not surprised at all, he walked over quickly, patted Shen Weiwei’s shoulder gently, and called her in a low voice.
Just now from the monitor, he could tell that Shen Weiwei was immersed in the play. At this moment, she is no longer Shen Weiwei who plays Huang Qingqing, but has truly become the heroine imprisoned in the mountains with nowhere to go. Both her fear and despair are real.
Jing Ling brought her into the play.
In front of the camera, both of them performed very well. Director Gu hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not call for a stop and continued filming until the scene was over. Originally thought that it would take a long time to shoot the scene, and since it was the first time to shoot, he treated it as a practice for Shen Weiwei, and prepared relevant videos for her to study and figure out later. Because the emotion of despair is almost non-existent for today's children who come from wealthy families and are very successful themselves. The despair when hopes are dashed and they face the threat of death is even more difficult to express. It cannot be overcome by just staring wide-eyed and shouting a few times. The subtle expressions of the eyes, movements and face are all essential.
However, an unexpected one passed.
Director Gu's fingers were large and warm. The summer clothes were thin, and they patted on the shoulders, leaving warmth on the skin through the clothes. This made Shen Weiwei, who was cold all over because of fear and despair, gasp like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving driftwood. She looked at Director Gu with a somewhat dazed look, then looked at Jing Ling who was standing in front of her. She subconsciously shrank back and was stunned for a moment before she finally came to her senses.
"I'm sorry, I..."
"It's okay, take a good rest. We won't shoot today." The scene was originally scheduled to be shot for a few days. After one take, Director Gu was already very satisfied and did not plan to exploit the labor force. He did not lack this little time, and Shen Weiwei did need a rest.
Except for the beginning part, the whole play is quite depressing. The crew is wealthy enough to hire a special psychologist, who comes in handy now.
The filming of "Stockholm Lovers" is proceeding in an orderly manner. Because the location is relatively remote in the mountains, and the crew refused to allow visitors for safety reasons, there were basically no people coming to join in the fun, and it was rare to find Reuters information online. Fortunately, the crew would regularly release some behind-the-scenes footage, which were all interesting things that happened during the filming process, and it seemed to give people a relaxed and enjoyable feeling.
The crew was stationed outside the Changchuling Mountains for a long time. When the scenes here were almost finished, the smooth sailing was broken and an accident suddenly happened.
The shooting that day was a little bit difficult, which was like an advance warning. We worked until the sun went down in the evening before we finally finished the work. The food was ready and would get cold if they delayed any further, so the crew members decided to eat first and then clean up the scene slowly. As a result, when they were halfway through the meal, Director Gu's assistant received a call, which turned out to be from someone from Raoshan City Public Security Bureau. The meaning was simple and to the point. They were asked to take the important things with them first, as someone would come to pick them up from the mountain soon. The filming was temporarily put on hold and they would have to wait for further notice on when they could continue.
This was because Director Gu happened to have friends here, so he thought of them first and even sent someone here specially.
Director Gu tried to ask, but the other party didn't say much, only a little bit, "Old Gu, I can only tell you that the mountain is not safe, the rest is confidential and can't be told."
"Thank you. I'll have someone notify them right away." Having lived to this age and standing at this height, even if he is not in the officialdom, Director Gu knows what to ask and what not to ask. Since the other party said so, he did not ask any more questions.
The people who followed him up the mountain were all his loyal team. They had been here before during the "Lonely Island" period and had witnessed more explosive and even worldview-shaking things. They kept their mouths shut and did not leak any information to anyone. Now I suddenly received such a notice. Although I didn’t know what exactly happened, I had a general idea in my mind. After receiving the notice, I immediately became busy. You don’t have to worry about some of the scenery props for now. There is a temporary tent, so you can just put them in. The most important things are the machinery and equipment, which are easy to clean up. By the time the police arrived, they had already packed up everything. Under the escort of the police, the group of people went down the mountain overnight and temporarily stayed in a house they had rented in the county town before arriving.
Before Director Gu received the phone call, Jing Ling received a call from Xu Shaohuai, who had a task assigned to him. It just so happened that he was filming nearby, so he saved the time of traveling.
Coincidentally, the target of this mission was exactly the one he had targeted when he first came into contact with this circle, that is, the one who had escaped the revenge of the Li family's extermination. He Du and his group were originally going after these people, but an accident happened halfway, which alerted the enemy and allowed them to escape. The higher-ups are still keeping an eye on these people, but they didn't expect that less than two years later, they not only showed up again, but even entered the country. They are so bold! Either they think the higher-ups have forgotten the bloody incident, or they are simply arrogant and unscrupulous, now that they've come, they can't leave!
During the filming, Xiao Hui and Xiao Hua, the locals of Changchu Mountain, sensed Jing Ling's presence, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't come to play with them, so they prepared to come over and say hello. Fortunately, a bird tipped off Jing Ling first, and he quickly asked for leave to go look for them, thus saving the crew from being frightened by the huge creatures.
