Ten years of film queen, finally became a top star

Chapter 405 Wild Lake

After finishing his work, Ran Feng also arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, and the opening ceremony officially began.

Under the master planning of Ning Ruifeng, the fourth start-up ceremony of the crew of "Jiang Shan Tan" officially began.

This time there were no Taoists, lamas or monks, only yangko dance, trumpets and firecrackers.

The opening ceremony was filled with loud drums and gongs, firecrackers, waving red flags, and huge crowds of people.

The incense burner was filled with incense sticks like a hedgehog, and the smoke it emitted was like a whole roasted lamb.

Yu Jiang tugged at Ran Feng's sleeve and said, "Feudal superstition kills people. He might as well treat the group to a good meal with this spare money."

The recognition she wanted was not there, and Ran Feng leaned over to her ear and said, "It's better to believe it."

Yu Jiang: “…”

Ran Feng did not have any work arranged after the filming was completed, so he had plenty of time for this shoot.

Therefore, Ning Ruifeng did not arrange any roles for him in the early stage, leaving him enough time to get into the role.

Most of the scenes in the suburbs of Beijing are about the eldest princess's wedding, with the male and female protagonists and the second female lead having more scenes.

These scenes have been filmed before, and everyone is in good shape for the reshoots. Also, because we have the opportunity to make up for the shortcomings of the last time, many scenes are even more exciting.

The first three days of filming seemed to be assisted by God, and the shooting in one day caught up with the previous three days.

Ning Ruifeng was very happy and kept praising the master for his amazing skills. He said that the date for the opening ceremony was well chosen, so the filming went so smoothly.

Poor old feudal lord, he would rather believe that it was the master's credit than think that his own shooting plan was good.

The scenes in these three days were not important, and except for Yu Jiang, all the others had already been filmed with OK footage before. How could it be inefficient?

On the fourth day, there was a more difficult scene: "The marriage team encountered the enemy, and the eldest princess slipped and fell into the water."

The neighboring countries did not want the marriage to be successful. What they wanted to see more was the battle between Yu and Mo to intensify, so that they could gain the upper hand when both sides suffered huge losses.

Several small countries united to attack the uninhabited areas that had just been invaded by war.

Now that the eldest princess is dead, the two parties who failed in the marriage alliance will naturally fight again, and their goal will be achieved.

There were not many soldiers in the marriage team, and not all of the princess's soldiers were real warriors, there were also many disguised counselors.

In fact, palace maids with strong martial arts skills should not be exposed, so even with the escort of Dayu's famous general Wei Zhongling, the marriage team was quickly dispersed.

Each of the attacking assassins wanted to kill, so in this situation, Jiang Ci had to reveal his trump card.

While repelling the enemy and protecting his master, he also had to kill anyone in Mo Qiang who saw that he had martial arts skills.

For a moment, he neglected to take care of His Highness, and the seriously injured assassin used his last bit of strength to throw Shen Guiwu into the lake.

This scene is the only group fight scene in the marriage team. It may not be able to be finished in one or two days. Everyone is ready for a protracted battle.

Yu Jiang doesn't need to put in much effort in the fighting scenes, as the main focus of the entire scene is on the male lead and the second female lead.

The remaining focus is to explain the abilities of the minor characters in the marriage team, and Yu Jiang’s main task is to serve as a background board.

Being a background board also has its difficulties. First of all, you have to be within the character. Secondly, you need to supplement the content of the script based on your own understanding.

This kind of background scene is not given much attention in the script, and all reactions and current actions need to be supplemented by the actors' understanding.

For Yu Jiang, supplementing the script and acting within the character were not difficult at all.

The problematic part is the scene of falling into the water the next day.

Yu Jiang still has a fear of water. Although he can overcome it, it still affects his mood to some extent.

Especially in such a wild lake, which was not as safe as a swimming pool, the fear of the unknown exacerbated the impact on her emotions.

During the three days when Ran Feng had no filming, he also stayed on the set. In addition to watching other actors' performances with the director, he also served as Yu Jiang's assistant.

Of course he was also present at the scene where the man fell into the wild lake, and he also noticed Yu Jiang's emotional fluctuations.

Yu Jiang wore a diving suit under his bright red wedding dress, just in case he fell into the water.

The scene of falling into the water is not simple, and he has to be held and dragged into the water by the lucky assassin. The guy who plays the assassin looks more nervous than Yu Jiang.

Yu Jiang didn't let anyone see his nervousness, he even smiled and tried to calm his opponent's emotions, looking very calm.

He sat there calmly holding a cup of water, acting opposite his actor, while the martial arts director explained the precautions to them.

The staff were still fishing out the broken ice from the lake to facilitate filming. They cursed Dai Manwen while they worked.

It was the warmest time when Dai Manwen was filming this scene. The actors had to endure less hardship in the water and there wasn't so much additional work to do.

We are reshooting now in the middle of winter, and it took us an entire night just to chisel ice. The result is not as good as it was then.

At the beginning, Ning Ruifeng considered deleting this scene, or replacing it with the long shot shot by Dai Manwen.

However, since the incident of the eldest princess falling into the water was mentioned in subsequent plot lines, deleting it would affect the plot.

It is not very convenient to use Dai Manwen's lens. The scenes shot in the suburbs of Beijing need to be color-graded as a whole in post-production. Suddenly, there is a section that was shot at that time, which is not easy to operate in post-production.

In the end, there was no choice but to shoot the film in the most time-consuming, labor-intensive and actor-intensive way.

Letting actors go into the water outdoors in the middle of winter is too unkind, not to mention Yujiang River, even Ning Ruifeng himself has never heard of it.

The ice in the center of the lake had been cleared, and although the thick ice around it had been chipped into pieces, there was no more energy to fish it out.

Looking from the rest area where Yu Jiang was sitting, there were dead grass, bare trees, and remnant ice on the lakeside. Everything within sight was dilapidated.

At this moment, Yu Jiang no longer had the mind to think about the shooting effect later. Her mind was focused on going into the water.

While waiting for Shao Wanning and the assassin to put on protective gear, Yu Jiang just stared at the lake and adjusted his mentality.

Seeing that she was worried, Ran Feng could only take away the hot soup she hadn't finished and leave the space for her to herself.

As soon as Ran Feng left, Ning Ruifeng came over with an apologetic look on his face and said, "I'm so sorry, Teacher Yu, it's so cold..."

Yu Jiang interrupted him and said, "It's all for the work. The weather can be overcome. It's not your fault. Don't be so polite."

Ning Ruifeng felt grateful but also ashamed for Yu Jiang's understanding. However, it would be inappropriate to say more, so he just brought the topic back to the filming later.

"Our scene isn't difficult. To protect your safety, the doctor and I both think you should get into the water first to get used to it."

If they were to film a real scene where it was easy to get cramps when suddenly going into the water, and Yu Jiang had never shown any fear of water in front of them, Ning Ruifeng would of course make such a suggestion.

"Okay." She answered simply and calmly, and no one could see the problem.

When Yu Jiang took off his cotton coat and was about to hand it to Ran Feng, he found that Ran Feng had disappeared long time ago, so he put his clothes back on helplessly.
