Chapter 367: Watching the Sun Through the Mist
The next morning's shooting finally arrived at the outdoor circus that Ning Ruifeng had been looking forward to.
Ningxi has a vast territory with snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts and lakes. You can find everything here when shooting on location.
The scene filmed today is the scene where Shen Guiwu enters the territory of Moqiang and heads to the palace.
Ever since she parted with her lover at the border between the two countries, the eldest princess still maintained her usual royal demeanor, but her heartache would occasionally show through.
The kiss at the border made King Qiang overjoyed. He knew that sooner or later he would get everything he wanted.
He didn't want much, just the light that supported him through the darkest moments.
The beam of light now fell into his palm, but he could not hold it or touch it. Even the burning sensation in his palm seemed to be just an illusion.
But he didn't care what it was. He only knew that the prince he had been thinking about for five years now belonged to him.
Maybe it doesn't completely belong to him now, but he is a person who is easily satisfied.
With this result, the blood that dyed the Yumo border red was not shed in vain.
The morning mist was bright, and the wheels of the princess' carriage, which were inlaid with gold and jewels, were stuck in the yellow sand. The Dayu marriage team and the Moqiang soldiers who came to welcome the bride could only rest on the spot.
The marriage was Shen Guiwu's first time leaving the capital. She had rarely even left the palace, so everything she saw along the way was new.
It was difficult to look directly at the proud sun in the capital, but now it can be viewed through the mist.
When the sun is so blinding, I always want to challenge myself to look at it, but when I can look directly at it easily, it seems to be just like that.
The endless desert looked so despairing. Shen Guiwu withdrew her gaze in disappointment and continued to watch the idiots save her carriage.
The wheel that was stuck in the yellow sand was just like the harsh words her brother had said to Mo Qiang: gorgeous but useless, it would break without even having to be poked.
On the road to succession, she reached the end with great difficulty; deep in the enemy's belly, she still had to fight alone.
On the sand dunes, the Qiang King's silver-gray warhorse was still in high spirits. On horseback, the Qiang King tried to see his bride clearly through the white fog.
The princess in her wedding dress was so far away from him, but he could clearly see the sadness and desolation on her face.
Looking at his beloved prince who was like a thin layer of ice on a stream that could break at any time, Moergen did not feel distressed but excited.
He patted the horse's neck proudly and said, "Look, my highness is now so much like me back then."
The horse seemed to be responding to its owner, shaking its head and neighing.
The eldest princess in the distance looked back vigilantly. The silver-gray warhorse that symbolized her status could be seen clearly even through the fog. The person on the horse must be her husband.
Who is Shen Guiwu? She certainly knows what the Qiang King wants.
She looked at her husband with tenderness, smiled brightly, and waved to him. The proud horse could only walk towards her in small steps.
As they approached Shen Guiwu, Melgon was afraid that the horse's hooves would splash up sand, so he left his beloved horse where it was early.
"Your Highness, are you calling me over?" He bowed respectfully, but his eyes never left her for a moment.
Shen Guiwu seemed not to notice his rudeness. She only smiled apologetically and said, "I am so sorry, Your Highness King Qiang, my car has delayed our trip."
Her self-introduction brought Melgon back to his second winter in Dayu. Her hair was still filled with gold ornaments and her waist was still jingling with gold bracelets, but he was no longer the poor proton he had been before.
"This palace?" Moergen chewed the two words carefully between his lips and teeth, "Your Highness the Princess's self-proclaimed name is so noble and beautiful."
Shen Guiwu knew what she was talking about. She was slightly stunned, blushing and saying aggrievedly, "Before I came here, they taught me that the Queen of Moqiang should also call herself that."
Seeing her rubbing her sleeves nervously, Moergen felt guilty for his groundless suspicion.
"Your Highness, please be more comfortable in front of me in the future. We are the closest people. These empty formalities are reserved for outsiders."
"Actually... you can call me Zhaowen." She acted like a lady who was meeting her lover in secret, shy and cute.
Moergen was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily: "I prefer to call you Your Highness. Every time I call you that, my heart beats."
Seeing his highness embarrassed and at a loss was a supreme enjoyment for the King of Qiang.
The Grand Eunuch informed Shen Guiwu that the wheel had been repaired, so it was natural for her to pretend to be calm, maintain the pride of Princess Dayu, and step onto the carriage by stepping on the backs of the Mo Qiang soldiers.
The red gauze blocked the wind and sand, and also concealed her gloomy and thoughtful expression. The huge team continued to climb over the sand dunes and cross the desert.
The Qiang King sat on his horse with his head held high, protecting the imperial carriage, just like General Wei when he was in Dayu.
Jiang Ci knelt upright at her master's feet, holding a scroll in her hand containing news that her subordinates scattered in Mo Qiang had sent back since she entered the country.
Moergen knew nothing about the abilities of the Regent Princess, but Shen Guiwu knew every move of the new Qiang King over the past five years.
The king went to the border in person to marry his bride, and the eldest princess married into a vassal state to expand her territory.
This marriage is destined to be a battle. As for winning or losing, it is safer to watch the sun through the fog than to capture the light and shadows.
The filming of every scene in the entire plot went very smoothly. All the filming was completed before the morning fog dissipated. Even the most uncontrollable horse performed perfectly.
Ning Ruifeng was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "Great! That's great! Why is it so good?"
Yu Jiang and Ran Feng, wrapped in their coats, didn't want to listen seriously to his meaningless compliments, just waiting for him to point out the problems and give some useful information.
In his eyes, there is no such thing as a perfect performance in one take. The previous take was a wide panoramic shot, and in the following detail shots and close-up shots, there are places where emotions can be brought out.
As a director, Ning Ruifeng wanted to give some guidance, but after Yu Jiang and Ran Feng's performances, he could no longer think of a better way to handle it.
I can only find fault with the emotions of the second female lead and the fourth male lead after giving them meaningless compliments.
In the crew's makeshift tent, Yu Jiang and Ran Feng were having their makeup touched up while they were telling each other about their emotional pivots and transition details.
Before the next step of filming, Ran Feng checked the time and said, "Brother Ning, it's time for Teacher Yu to eat. We can take my close-up first."
Ning Ruifeng was so engrossed in the photo that he almost forgot about it. Wang Dandan was holding her lunch box and didn't know how to start the conversation, so Ran Feng helped her a lot.
In Wang Dandan's heart, Ran Feng, the "boss husband", has gained points again.
Yu Jiang was eating her special meal while looking at the monitor, feeling relieved that her boyfriend had become a very qualified actor.
We shot in the desert for a whole day and the crew didn't finish work until it was almost dark.
It was already early morning when they returned to the hotel and finished the skin care. Yu Jiang and Ran Feng rehearsed tomorrow's scenes and didn't want to do anything else, so they went straight to bed.
From getting on the car at the hotel to returning to the hotel, today's trip lasted more than twenty hours from start to finish. No matter how energetic the two of them were, they would still be exhausted.
