Chapter 133: Starting Filming

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The movie was almost finished, but because Director Jiang Wen had not found an actress suitable for the role of the “back-view goddess”, the scene had not been filmed until now. The filming location was on the second floor of a high-end piano brand store in the bustling city center of Beijing.

In order to make it easier to film, the second floor had already been closed for business. Only a few extras were preparing at the end of the corridor.

When Lu Zhen arrived, she saw that Director Jiang Wen and Hao Wen were both present.

Lu Zhen did not see the female lead, Pan Miao, probably because today’s scene had nothing to do with her.

Lu Zhen naturally knew that there was a comparison between her role and the female lead played by Pan Miao. After the movie was released, the audience might very well compare the two of them.

Therefore, no matter how she looked at it, Pan Miao’s attitude towards her was very complicated. She might even be a little hostile.

At that time, Director Jiang Wen revealed that the process of letting Lu Zhen act as the “back-view goddess” was not that smooth. It was very likely because he had encountered some objections from Pan Miao’s company.

Lu Zhen took a deep breath and cleaned up these complicated emotions. She focused on the upcoming filming.

As Lu Zhen was acting as a young girl, she did not need to put on makeup, which saved a lot of time.

Lu Zhen changed into a white gauze dress. The stylist tied her black and smooth hair into a high bun. She did not specially deal with some loose hair, creating a natural and casual state.

At this moment, Lu Zhen was completely bare-faced. However, the girl in the mirror had exquisite facial features. Her clean temperament was even more stunning than makeup.

The stylist nodded in satisfaction and said gently to Lu Zhen, “Alright, go.”

Lu Zhen walked into the piano room. There were a few pianos in the piano room. The cabinet beside her was probably a retro style that had been specially bought online to create a sense of era more than ten years ago.

The windows of the piano room were open, and the white curtains were blown up by the breeze. Outside the window, there were green tree shadows. This scene looked very cinematic.

Under Director Jiang Wen’s instructions, Lu Zhen sat in front of the piano in front of the window.

Director Jiang Wen looked at his watch. “When the sun just rose in the morning, the light was the gentlest and most beautiful, so it’s best if we finish this scene in two hours. Zhenzhen, are you ready?”

Lu Zhen nodded.

Director Jiang Wen waved his hand. The photographers, lighting technicians, and sound technicians were all ready at their posts.

A gust of wind blew. Lu Zhen took a deep breath and slowly got into the mood.

The morning sun fell on her. She was facing the window, and the camera was focused on her back. The sunlight from the window painted the outline of her figure with a faint halo, creating a dreamy feeling.

The camera even captured the tiny dust floating in the air. Those tiny particles floated around Lu Zhen. The camera’s lens slowly moved and slowly captured Lu Zhen’s back.

In the quiet air, the first note sounded. Then, clear and pleasant music flowed out from Lu Zhen’s fingertips.

This was a very long shot. From the window of the room, it captured Lu Zhen’s figure. Then, it gradually pulled away and captured the entire piano room. Finally, there was a close-up of Lu Zhen’s upper body.

The camera couldn’t capture Lu Zhen’s face, but it captured her milk-white skin, the butterfly bone that appeared behind her snow-white dress, and her slender and fair hands.

From these images, the audience could imagine that this was a very beautiful girl. She was elegant and pure, like an orchid blooming in the valley. After the first shoot ended, Jiang Wen felt very satisfied. Lu Zhen’s performance was even better than the day of the audition.

“Let’s take a few more shots. Lu Zhen, you can boldly try other feelings, such as being more immersed in the music and trying your best to show a trace of sadness.”

Lu Zhen nodded and returned to the piano.

Lu Zhen had filmed this scene for nearly two hours. Director Jiang Wen was indeed famous for pursuing perfection. Even though he was already very satisfied with the previous scene, he would still let Lu Zhen continue filming. He would always want to pursue more extreme perfection.

Director Jiang Wen’s perfectionism would also cause some of the actors who had worked with him to be under a lot of pressure. Some actors who could not withstand it would even break down..
