518 A lesson

Chessaray looked at the results of the shooting, made an ‘OK’ gesture, and shouted, ”

let’s take a break. he raised his wrist and pointed at the watch on his wrist with the index finger of his other hand.

“We’ll shoot the next scene at four o ‘clock.”

!!
Jiang se went to remove her makeup. She still had a scene to shoot after Laura’s. She had to buy some time to get some sleep.

On the temporary cliff steps made on the set, the props team was preparing. There was an empty space above their heads, and the snow kept falling. The early morning wind was also very strong. In front of the green screen, Laura and the others held their arms and were almost frozen.

After Jiang se changed her clothes, she did not even bother to wash her face. She put on her down jacket and wrapped herself in a blanket. She found a corner and lay down. She even left the job of removing her makeup to Xia Chaoqun.

She set the alarm at six O ‘clock. Laura and the others didn’t have a long scene to shoot, so she had to do her makeup and styling after she got up. She was afraid that sleeping too long would delay the progress of the crew.

The day’s filming had been too tiring. Jiang se fell asleep very quickly, but she did not sleep for long. The uncomfortable environment and the noise at the set made her stay alert at all times. Before the alarm went off, she opened her eyes. Mo Anqi and the others were crowding around her. The moment she moved, Xia Chaoqun turned to look at her and asked, ”

“Cold?”

Jiang se pulled the blanket even tighter around her. She covered her mouth with her hand and yawned. She asked softly, ”

“What time is it?”

In the distance, the staff was still busy and very noisy. The sound of the machine running, the sound of people talking, and the sound of footsteps were all mixed together. Xia Chaoqun looked at the time. 5:40.

There was still about 20 minutes to the time she had set for 6 pm. Xia Chaoqun pulled the blanket over her and reminded her, ”

“Let’s sleep a little longer.”

When Jiang se saw her expression, she could vaguely sense that something was off. She could not help but ask, ”

“The filming didn’t go smoothly?”

Xia Chaoqun nodded. It was too cold here. During the filming process, several cameras had more or less broken down. Some actors could not stand the cold and did not perform very well. After many ‘NGS’, chessaray was already on the verge of losing control of his temper. Even the beautiful Laura was unable to control her temper. Brown had been scolded several times. He had been hiding in a corner and crying.

“If this continues, your scenes will probably be delayed. Sleep a little longer.”

Jiang se got up and looked around. In front of the green curtain in the distance, Laura and the others had already been hung up. She was still begging for mercy. In the cold weather, she was wearing a tattered gray dress. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and her bare feet swayed in the air. She was bawling her eyes out.

To be honest, other than the first time Jiang se met her, Laura’s bad personality had left a bad impression on her. She was indeed very beautiful. When she was hung in the air, her teary eyes were exactly the same as Lannie’s helpless and weak appearance in the early stages of ” God’s salvation “.

However, the weather had obviously affected her performance. After she finished her lines, chessaray’s brows were tightly knitted, and his expression was very stern. He even looked at his watch impatiently and made a gesture to ask for a repeat.

This greatly slowed down the progress of the crew. The scene that was originally thought to be completed in three hours had not made any progress at all.

It was getting late, and Laura and the others were put down. Chesare crossed his arms and said, ”

I think if there’s nothing wrong with your ears, I’ve already told you many times that when you read your lines, you can be more excited and not shrink your body like a quail and tremble.

The delay in time had put chessaray on the edge of being irritable, and he was particularly merciless with his words. Chessaray was not as humorous and elegant as he was in life. On the contrary, he seemed a little harsh.

I didn’t invite you here to play the role of a laughable, unmoving statue.

I’m sorry, Mr. Chessley. It’s just too cold, ” Laura explained in a low voice. The cold weather and her thin clothes made her distracted when she read her lines. I tried to overcome it, but …

She tried to explain calmly, but because of the repeated ‘NGS’, she couldn’t hold on much longer, especially since she didn’t sleep for a night. In addition, the cold had consumed a lot of her energy, and her performance naturally made chessaray even more dissatisfied.

It would have been fine if Laura didn’t explain, but once she did, Chesare’s brows furrowed even more and he interrupted her.

this isn’t the set for your show. Do you want me to tell you that I’m sorry that there’s no warm and comfortable bed here? ”

As soon as he said that, Laura’s face turned red. Mo Anqi looked at this scene with great interest. Laura’s agent came forward to smooth things over, hoping that Cesare would give Laura another chance and start over.

This scene did not go smoothly. After watching for a while, Jiang se felt that her next scene would probably be delayed for a while. Hence, she instructed mo Anqi to wake her up at seven o ‘clock and went back to sleep.

Before seven o ‘clock, mo Anqi had already woken Jiang se up. Miss Brown’s scenes will be put on hold for now. The director said that we’ll talk about it after we finish filming the next scene.

After filming overnight, Laura finally couldn’t take it anymore. At 6:00 A. M., She said she couldn’t take it anymore and went back to the hotel to rest.

Jiang se slept for a few hours before she resumed her filming.

Shireen was saved by Andre. Out of her trust in her like-minded companions and the fact that Andre was her Savior, Shireen revealed some of her mission’s achievements to Andre during the few days they spent together.

At the same time, she also learned that Andre was the only member of the church in this small town. He had entered the church since he was young and had been waiting here for nearly 20 years. He was unknown and preached the morality of believing in God.

This made Shireen admire him, and she was willing to tell him more.

the church Andre was in was already in ruins, and his life had many problems. Even his Bishop’s robe was in tatters, giving off a shabby air.

The church’s power had almost taken control of the Empire, and the powerful archbishops lived a luxurious life. Shireen had joined the church since she was young, and she was the church’s most loyal Knight. She had risked her life for the church several times in the process of eradicating heresy.

She went in and out of the Empire’s largest suzerain church, and those who came in and out were all nobles and Knights, so she had never worried about her life. She also didn’t know that under the control of the Imperial court, there were still believers who would fall into poverty.

In front of the stove, two devout believers were guarding the only warmth in the winter night. Andre brought two roasted sweet potatoes, which were food sent by the kind-hearted residents nearby.

He was rather thin, his cheeks sunken, and his eyebrows almost falling off. The hardships of life had left a deep mark on his face. The old Bishop’s robe on him seemed a little empty, but he still washed himself very clean.

“Let’s eat,” His tone was gentle, but there was a hint of reluctance in his eyes. Such kindness and generosity naturally made Shireen’s impression of him deepen.

The two sat by the fire and chatted. The atmosphere in the house was warm and comfortable. Andre’s hair had turned white. Under the dim light, he sighed.

I have been in the temple for many years. I have dedicated my life to the church and become a loyal believer of God.

He had no family, no life of his own, no wife, no children, and even abandoned his parents. Every day, he was busy helping others and promoting the deeds of God. but in fact, I don’t know if it’s because I’m not pious enough, but God has never cared for me even once.

When he said this, Shireen only noticed his dejected look. He did not have gorgeous and bright clothes, nor did he have a well-to-do life. Even the place he lived in was shockingly shabby.

She didn’t know where Andre’s next meal would be, but he had generously helped her and shared his only food. He was truly a very good believer.

She ‘saw’ his piety and ‘heard’ his gratitude to God, but she didn’t hear the doubt and unwillingness in his words.

In fact, over the years, the lifestyle of the pure believers had made Andre feel uneasy and uneasy. His long-standing faith had turned into doubt as time passed. He began to doubt whether there were gods in the world and the meaning of the existence of the church.

“That’s not your fault, Andre.”

Shireen consoled him, her expression full of yearning and excitement.

it’s not because you’re not pious enough. It’s because you haven’t found a way to pray to God.

The camera was focused on Jiang SE’s face. At that moment, the fire in the stove was burning vigorously. In an instant, Andre’s eyes lit up like stars. He clenched his fists slowly. The muscles on his face twitched unconsciously while his chest heaved. There was a hidden ecstasy and suppressed ambition in his eyes. The young lady before him did not notice this.

“Method?” He muttered to himself, his subtle facial expressions and body language infected the people in front of the camera.

The crew members were watching this scene from a distance. Chessaray crossed his arms and supported his chin with the other hand as he watched the two of them play on the screen.

“Yes, I am!” Shireen nodded slowly. She still did not understand what her nod meant. It meant that she had lost something, and she was telling him everything she had gained from this trip without holding back.

while Yingluo was exterminating the heretics, Andre, I received an incantation to pray to God. When you chant it … Jiang se narrowed her eyes and leaned toward Donald. She extended her hand and pointed at his heart. The rapid thumping of his heart could be heard.

Jiang se maintained her cross-legged posture. At this moment, chessaray called for a pause.

“Jiang, you should raise your head.” The angle of the light was not right either, and it could not reflect the ecstasy in her eyes when she mentioned ‘God’.

Jiang se maintained this posture and repeated her lines seven or eight times. Chessaray was finally satisfied when her legs were so sore that they were shaking and she could no longer support herself.

As if influenced by her, Donald lowered his head as well. Jiang se looked up and met his gaze. At that moment, their eyes were filled with passion.

However, there was something else in Andre’s eyes besides his worship of God.

The camera sharply captured this moment. Jiang se slowly opened her mouth and said her lines, ”

“As long as you are sincere enough, God will fulfill your wishes!”

When she said this, Andre’s body trembled slightly.

“Very good!”

Jiang se remained in her half-sitting position. She only returned to her seat when chessaray indicated that the scene was over.

After Andre learned the incantation to pray to God, he was skeptical. He wondered if Shireen’s words were true. At the same time, Shireen’s words ‘God will grant your wishes’ kept ringing in his heart, causing him to be unable to sleep.

Jiang se did not have any scenes during the day. After Andre coaxed Shireen into chanting the incantation, he could no longer suppress his greed. He finally felt the sin of desire. He chanted the incantation and sacrificed Shireen as a sacrifice to God in exchange for the reputation and status he wanted. However, his life was in danger.

Jiang se did not have many scenes, but she had been filming for nearly half a month. The reason was that she did not have any important roles in the production team. Most of the time, she was just waiting.

Unfortunately, Laura caught a cold during this period of time, so the crew had to delay the progress because they had to wait for her. This made Chesare very dissatisfied. It was already after Christmas when Laura returned to the crew.

Jiang se still had one last scene to shoot. Once she was done, she could leave the crew and return to her country. Her last scene was the scene where Shireen was sacrificed. This scene was very important and was also one of the important turning points in Andre’s life. To make it realistic, chessaray requested for him to fight in real life instead of using special effects.

Jiang SE’s status was not high enough for her to use a body double at such a moment. Hence, she had to do everything herself.

Xia Chaoqun was obviously very concerned about this. A fire scene was no child’s play. It was easy to be in danger if one wasn’t careful. She and Mo Anqi personally communicated with the crew over and over again. From the body protection to the face protection, as well as the fire extinguisher and equipment to put out the fire, they had checked them over and over again.

The pyrotechnicians in charge of this scene were all licensed and experienced. They explained to Jiang se several times that as long as the shooting went smoothly and she rehearsed a few more times, the fire during the shooting might seem dangerous, but it would not hurt her body.

The intensity of this scene was different from the ones Jiang se had shot in the past. It was clearly more dangerous. However, after working with the crew for so long, she had a rough understanding of Chesare’s team. The pyrotechnician had handled this scene countless times. Therefore, after giving some psychological advice, Jiang se faced the scene more calmly than mo Anqi.

As the fire was spreading upwards, her face would be covered with a thick layer of fire oil. There was plenty of light during the day, so even if there were post-editing, it would be easy for flaws to appear. Hence, the shooting was scheduled for the evening. Jiang se spent the entire morning practicing her positioning on the set to reduce the chances of accidents during the actual shooting.

When she arrived at the set, Laura’s scene had just come to an end. She was wearing a thick down jacket. When she saw Jiang se, she turned to ask her manager, ”

“Is she filming her last scene in the afternoon?”

Her manager was a man in his fifties with chestnut-colored hair. He was slightly chubby and had a protruding belly. He had seen The Grudge between Laura and Jiang se.

She also knew that the two of them had a feud on their first day on set.

In his opinion, Jiang se was not worthy of being compared to Laura, and there was no need for Laura to get into a fight with this Chinese girl. After all, no matter how much chessaray appreciated her, she did not have many scenes in the movie. She would have to leave after the filming was done.

However, since Jiang se had embarrassed Laura on the first day in front of the Borgia family’s heir, she held a grudge against this Chinese lady. She had repeatedly said that she would teach her a lesson. If it were not for the fact that Laura had caught a cold and that most of her scenes were with Donald instead of Jiang se, the conflict between them would have exploded.
