Chapter 364 Ningxi
Ningxi is in the northwest of China. The weather in late October was already cold enough that I felt a little uncomfortable when I got off the plane.
Wang Dandan had already arrived in Ningxi with Yu Jiang's luggage and necessary belongings, and had settled everything in the hotel where they were about to stay.
The only request that the local Ningxi officials had made to the crew before was to avoid the peak tourist season. Now that the summer vacation and statutory holidays are over, all they have to do is to finish the filming before the winter vacation.
The Moqiang Palace is an important tourist attraction in Ningxi. The old Moqiang buildings are well preserved and have been highly restored.
The desert, the oasis, the old palace, as soon as you get here, you will feel like you are in a play.
The film set is now filming the little prince as a child, free, unrestrained and noble in the palace.
The little boy who plays Ran Feng's childhood is very cute, like a delicate and delicate little baby.
He seemed to know that he was cute, just like Ran Feng knew that he was handsome.
He was the protagonist during the past few days on the set. In order to fit the feeling of the lawless little prince in the play, the director asked everyone in the crew to pamper him.
Although the spoiled child's personality is not very likable, his appearance can neutralize this small flaw, especially since he is very obedient in front of Yu Jiang.
This might be Yu Jiang's innate ability. She was good at dealing with all kinds of little boys. Even her most difficult brother listened to her the most, not to mention this little boy who had just been deliberately led astray.
The children surrounded Yu Jiang on the set, and Yu Jiang guided him on how to act from time to time. Unexpectedly, the child star didn't need her to teach him at all.
Even though he is young, he has acted in many dramas. For a simple plot like this, he doesn't need any guidance at all.
But the little guy is quite worldly-wise. Every time Yu Jiang finishes teaching him, he would come over after the performance and praise his sister for her good teaching, which enabled him to pass the test smoothly.
These days, Yu Jiang has been reading scripts and playing with children. She will only start filming her scenes after the children's scenes are finished.
As for Ning Xi, she is already the Queen of Moqiang, and her clothing has changed a lot. The temperament she developed when she was the eldest princess and regent also has an impact on her.
In the Moqiang Palace, Shen Guiwu's main role is to control the palace according to plan with the second female lead Jiang Ci.
As the queen, it is natural for her to be in charge of the harem. Even if Shen Guiwu is not in the right position in Dayu, she has been able to control the harem. Now it is only a matter of time.
Things of the previous dynasty include Shen Guiwu's attendant eunuchs and Emperor Xiaowen's seal, and all the connections and relationships with court officials are clarified.
Jiang Ci passed messages to each other to ensure that Shen Guiwu, who was in the palace, could easily control the situation.
Ningxi's scenery is one of the most famous in China, and it would be a waste of resources to shoot interior scenes here.
Therefore, the interior scenes of the palace were all filmed in the studio, and the parts in Ningxi were all outdoor scenes, including the parts in the palace compound and the marriage journey in the desert oasis.
After filming the parts of Yu Jiang, Shao Wanning and the fourth male lead, the busy Ran Feng also joined the crew.
His main job now is the talent show month. After finishing the filming of Ningxi, he goes straight to the studio, and starts working on the talent show right after finishing the filming in the studio.
He was really looking forward to Ning Xi's scenes, which were all about the intimate scenes between him and Yu Jiang.
After being a hostage for so long, and then changing back from Alieta to Melgon, the former little prince has now become a pervert.
When he first arrived at the Dayu Palace, he prayed to the Moqiang God day and night, hoping to be blessed and end that kind of life as soon as possible, even if the God could grant him death.
But the god he had worshipped and revered since childhood never showed him the slightest pity, leaving him alone to face every day and night of humiliation.
The gods worshipped by the Moqiang people since ancient times are not of the same system as those in the Central Plains. It is a unique and pious belief. No matter how dynasties change, the gods are always supreme.
Melgon changed this tradition when he became king. He was the last king of Moqiang and the only one who did not respect gods.
After killing his father to seize the throne and holding military power, the first thing he did was to abolish all the Moqiang festivals to honor the gods and cut off all royal offerings to the temple.
Such unorthodox practices are unacceptable to the devout people of Moqiang.
The sheep of the past has become a tiger. In Dayu, he didn't learn anything else, but he did learn and understand the extreme punishments of Emperor Xiaowen that shocked the world.
He put his knowledge into practice and used these punishments on his own subjects. The Mo Qiang people were intimidated and no one dared to raise any objections.
The last Mo Qiang King was evaluated in history as being capable but indifferent. He did not wish well for Mo Qiang from the bottom of his heart and even hoped that the country would be destroyed.
His decree to ban gods made it much easier for Dayu to rule Moqiang in the future. A country without faith can be easily assimilated.
The first thing Ran Feng did when he came to Ningxi was to destroy the temple. With hatred and resentment, he watched the useless statue fall at his feet.
Ning Ruifeng is also a ruthless man. For this important scene, he directly copied the statue in the portrait.
This scene had to be shot in one take, and no matter how Ran Feng performed, it could not be re-shot, so he was under a lot of pressure.
The pressure does not only come from work, but also from the fear of unknown things. Whether it is consecrated or not, it is a statue of a god.
Even if you don't worship any kind of god, you still have to show due respect. Ran Feng felt a little timid.
It can be seen from Ning Ruifeng's opening ceremony that he is also an old stubborn person who likes feudal superstition. He himself was also nervous about the scene of smashing the statue.
Everything was ready, and he kept muttering to himself, "Don't blame the gods, don't blame the gods..."
Yu Jiang heard this and laughed secretly, then threatened him maliciously, "Guo'er, the statue is just a sculpture before it is consecrated, but if you pray to it, the real god will be attached to it."
"Ah?! Is this true?" Ning Ruifeng was startled, and Ran Feng next to him was also looking around in fear.
Yu Jiang nodded seriously, "Of course it's true! So please don't keep talking about it, let's just shoot it now before the real god arrives."
The old feudal man was quite tolerant of advice. He took the lies seriously and began to prepare for the actual shooting in a hurry.
Yu Jiang stopped Ran Feng who was about to take his place, "I was just trying to scare him. He is old and easy to deceive. How can you still believe in ghosts and gods at such a young age?"
Ran Feng blushed and said, "I...I don't believe it, I respect it. Do you understand me?"
Yu Jiang tried his best not to laugh out loud, tapped his forehead and said, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
"I've already said that I'm not afraid. I'm a staunch materialist. I don't mind ghosts knocking on my door unless I do something wrong..."
He muttered to himself as he prepared himself mentally, then turned around to take the real shot.
Yu Jiang felt that these words were somewhat familiar, but it seemed that her boyfriend was still at a different level from her.
Yu Jiang suppressed his laughter and thought to himself, "This little stubborn believer in feudal superstitions, it seems he will be a potential customer of the charlatan even when he gets older."
