Chapter 85 Act 4
On the day of the Spring Festival, all the crew members had a day off, and the filming of the movie resumed on the second day of the first lunar month. Liu Man's last scene was scheduled to be filmed on that night, and the filming location was in the small western-style building.
In the script, this scene takes place after Ji Ning spends money to buy this second-hand villa with decoration and full furniture, and the family of five moves into the new home.
Ji Ning's bedroom is at the end of the corridor on the second floor, with a separate bathroom and cloakroom. It is the largest room in the villa. Ji An's bedroom is next to hers, separated by only a wall, and Gu Qing is the farthest away from her, on the other side of the corridor.
The three of them got along peacefully at first, until the early morning of that day, when Gu Qing asked Ji Ning to come out and talk, and they had an argument in the garden of the villa. Gu Qing couldn't help but hugged her. At that time, Ji An was in her bedroom on the second floor. She was not asleep and saw everything clearly. Her jealous anger made her lose her mind.
When Ji Ning returned to the room, Ji An followed her in quietly and strangled her with a plastic rope.
Liu Man used her break time yesterday to think carefully about how to shoot this play.
After it was completely dark, Liu Lan began her work.
Four cameras were set up on an open space in the small garden, and two cameras were set up on the second floor of the villa. The scene of Ji Ning and Gu Qing talking in the garden will be filmed from all directions.
Liu Lan changed into a beige pajamas, and the stylist tied her hair up, deliberately making it look fluffy after having sex.
...
...
The first shot starts from the bed in her bedroom:
Liu Lan was lying on the bed covered with a thin blanket. The clock on the wall had been adjusted by the prop master from the correct 7pm to 1:30am.
"Everyone, take your positions," Ye Zian ordered, "action."
There was a sudden knock on the bedroom door.
Ji Ning sat up from the bed with sleepy eyes. She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the clock on the wall.
"Ningning, can you come out for a moment?"
Gu Qing's deliberately low voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this, Ji Ning picked up the thin coat beside the bed, put it on, and opened the door.
Gu Qing was standing at the door, also wearing pajamas, but his hair was not messy at all, and it was obvious that he had not gone to bed at all.
"What are you looking for me so late at night? Let's talk about it tomorrow at school," Ji Ning said in a low voice, afraid of being heard. When she was about to close the door, Gu Qing stopped her with his elbow. He grabbed Ji Ning's wrist with his other hand and dragged her out of the bedroom. Ji Ning screamed.
"OK, Liu Lan leaves the stage, and Yang Huayue comes on stage for the next shot," Ye Zian ordered without any delay or wasting time.
Yang Huayue, who also changed into pajamas, immediately walked into Ji An's bedroom.
The photographer pointed the camera at Ji An's bedroom door.
"Start."
As Ye Zian finished speaking, the door was opened a crack from the inside, and a pair of eyes looked out coldly and grimly. The photographer gave a close-up of the eyes for 7 seconds.
The makeup artist deliberately painted Yang Huayue's eyes with dark eye shadow, which looked a bit like dark circles. In dim light, it looked scary. Her eyeballs slowly turned from left to right, as if she saw Gu Qing and Ji Ning walking past her door.
The eye lens ends.
Next, they shot a shot of Ji An overlooking the garden with Gu Qing and Ji Ning from the window, and then the director, photographer and other staff quickly moved to the garden on the first floor.
"Huayue, don't stand in the middle of the window. Move a little to the left, closer to the left frame, and hide half of your body behind the curtain," Ye Zian said to Yang Huayue while holding a loudspeaker.
Liu Lan was sitting in the garden waiting for her turn in her down jacket. She was also looking up at the second floor. She thought Yang Huayue's look this time was really scary. She was wearing a white pajamas dress and her long hair was uncombed and draped over her chest. She was standing straight by the window, looking like a female ghost in white.
So in the script, ten years later, the heroine Yan Xialan was frightened once by Ji An.
"Director Ye, is my position okay?" Yang Huayue shouted to Ye Zian.
