Seeing this, Donald raised his eyebrows slightly.

Chessaray pointed out the first scene to be shot and asked Donald and Jiang se to memorize the positions. They rehearsed their positions a few times. Before the snow was over, they had to finish shooting the few scenes with blizzards.

Laura's gaze had been on Jiang se the entire time. She was sizing her up with ill intentions.

Before Jiang se came out of the set, mo Anqi had already wrapped her up in a thick down jacket. The cashmere scarf covered her mouth and half of her face. However, when Jiang se came out, she stumbled backward when a gust of wind blew at her. She could barely keep her eyes open.

The temperatures in northern Italy were colder than in the capital during winter, and the harsh weather increased the difficulty of filming.

Mo Anqi recalled the scene earlier. She felt refreshed but also worried, ”

that Hollywood sweetheart's character should really be shown to her fans. She's simply embarrassing herself. She adjusted Jiang SE's scarf for her. Her feet were shivering from the cold.

but will she deliberately make things difficult for you in the subsequent filming? ”

Jiang se smiled and shook her head. Xia Chaoqun stuffed an electric warmer into her hands. I don't have many scenes. At most, I'll only have about a month. Even if they needed to reshoot, they would not be able to get along with her for long. On the surface, this Hollywood sweetheart had her reservations. Therefore, when she was ridiculed by Jiang se in front of Cesare and Borgia, she had to swallow her anger and even smile. With her abilities, she could only do some small tricks in private.

“Don't worry, just pay attention to a little.”

As for the verbal hostility, Jiang se did not take it to heart.

During the next day's break, Jiang se stayed at the hotel to memorize the script. She also tried her best to follow the hired translator in pronouncing the spoken language. Her spoken pronouncing was more like ancient Latin. She would not get tired of a simple line. She could recite it ten times or even more. She would not get bored even if she repeated the same thing.

Jiang SE's language teacher could be considered a rather rigorous scholar. He admired Jiang SE's character and tried to be as strict with her as possible. The fact that Jiang se was able to communicate in simple Italy in just a few months was largely due to this scholar.

The day passed by quickly. In order to get enough energy for the next day, Jiang se went to bed early.

The shoot was scheduled for after four in the afternoon. However, Jiang se arrived on set in the morning because she had to do her makeup and styling.

It had snowed the night before. The staff on set were checking the equipment. When Jiang se arrived, the makeup artist had not arrived yet. Many of them were surprised that she had arrived early.

After they greeted each other, Jiang se went to the place that chessaray had pointed out earlier. Her character, Shireen, would walk along the path to the church's entrance and collapse due to exhaustion.

At this moment, the path was already covered in snow, and the snow had already reached their feet. It was obvious that when the official shooting started in the afternoon, the snow would definitely reach their feet.

Jiang se walked along the path and tried to find the feeling a few times.

When Donald's car drove into the set, he could already see Jiang se staggering in the snow from a distance. She looked like a lost pedestrian in a Blizzard and was stumbling through the snow. Her manager and assistant stood far away, holding her water bottle, scarf, and other things.

As the main lead of this scene, Donald could naturally tell that Jiang se was walking in the direction that chessaray had pointed out the day before yesterday. She was probably practicing to force her body to memorize the scene so that she would not make any mistakes during the filming and affect the progress.

Donald didn't know how long she had been here. He stood there for a while and saw that she had retreated several times. The staff around him came in and out, and it seemed that he was already used to this scene. He narrowed his eyes and thought of the dispute between Laura and the Chinese girl that chessaray had personally selected the day before yesterday. He couldn't help but smile.

The day before yesterday, after she left, Laura even yelled at her assistant for a long time. Because she had lost face in front of Mr. Borgia, this Hollywood sweetheart was quite angry. In contrast, this Chinese girl didn't seem to be affected by the dispute that day.

“She's very good, isn't she?” Censare's voice rang out in Donald's ears. Donald turned around and saw his two old friends greeting him. He smiled and nodded slightly.

“Yes, I am.” He crossed his arms in front of his chest. in fact, I thought I would be the first to arrive on the set and prepare for the next scene, but obviously, she came earlier than me.

Jiang se was very hardworking. Although chessaray knew that she had a good personality, he was surprised to actually work with her.

The setting was not good. Chesare believed that such a realistic environment would bring more real feelings to the audience than the expressions and post-production, so he insisted on shooting in real life for several scenes. Even the meeting between Shireen and Andre was shot in the northern city of Italy, and it was winter with snow.

The cold weather would make one feel uncomfortable. In a situation where many extras were not there yet, Jiang se was able to reach the set for a long time and practice in the snow. This made chessaray admire her even more.

I think I understand why you're so insistent on using Borgia in this film. Donald had seen Jiang SE's audition scenes before. She was very agile in front of the camera. Her acting was on point, and she was also very obedient. Chessley had asked her to practice combat for half a year to increase the persuasiveness of the character Shireen. As expected, she obediently trained with her coach. She was talented and hardworking.

When Chesare's movie had to use Chinese actors, the investment company and many of Chesare's fans had expressed their puzzlement. But now Donald felt that he could understand why Chesare admired her.

There were many people with acting skills, like Laura, who played Lannie. Brown. She had performed well in a few Hollywood blockbusters. It was not as if there were no suitable candidates for the role. However, other than her acting skills, Jiang se also had a character and character that chessaray liked.

Chessaray laughed heartily and patted his shoulder. When they arrived, Jiang se had been practicing for a while. She walked the short route repeatedly so that her body would remember it. This way, when filming officially started, even if she spent more time on her facial expressions and thoughts, her body would still remember the feeling of walking. This would further enhance the real feeling of Shireen's injury and collapse at the entrance of the church after she had exterminated the heretics in ” the salvation of God.

This scene had to be filmed before the afternoon, and the scenes of Laura and the other two were to be filmed at dawn the next day.

Jiang se walked back and forth in the snow for more than an hour. The moment Donald arrived, she had to put on her makeup first.

Shireen was a loyal believer of the temple. The production team had prepared a set of soft leather armor for Jiang se. The leather armor was tailored to Jiang SE's figure after consulting a professional. It was very light and could highlight her figure. However, the only drawback was that it could not withstand the cold and snow in the cold weather.

Before she put on the leather armor, mo Anqi tore off some warm pads and tried her best to stick them on Jiang SE's lower abdomen, back, and other areas.

He didn't dare to stick too much, for fear that it would affect the wearing of the leather armor.

It was too cold in the dressing room. Even though the makeup artist and the others were wearing thick down jackets, their fingers were still cold. After Jiang se put on the leather armor, she could not sit down to do her makeup because of the special attire. The makeup artist had to let her stand.

Two hours later, Jiang se appeared in front of him as a valiant female knight with a longsword.

Judging from her appearance, she was very much in line with the Shireen that chessaray had imagined. She had a slender, flexible, and powerful figure, and her waist was thin and curvy. She was more than 90% similar to the Shireen in chessaray's manuscript.

What made chessaray satisfied was her expression.

The makeup artist didn't draw her eyebrows with exaggerated techniques and kept her own characteristics. Her temperament was cold, and the shape of her eyebrows showed a firm shape after a little modification.

Perhaps it was because of the cold, but her skin was as white as snow. The bloodstains and scars on her face could not hide her clear black and white eyes. Her expression was firm, and her gaze was fanatical. She looked like a fanatical believer who was willing to sacrifice herself for the church.

“OK?”

Chessaray made a hand gesture. By the time Jiang SE's makeup was done, Donald's was done as well. Compared to Jiang SE's slightly complicated style, Donald's was much simpler. He did not change much. He had changed into a Bishop's robe. The changes to his hairstyle and makeup made him look gentle and harmless. He looked a little cowering and weak, as well as depressed and unaccomplished.

This was the day with the heaviest snowstorm in mordena since winter. Jiang se staggered as she walked through the snow.

The cameraman followed along the tracks and took photos. He could clearly see the blood oozing out of the props hanging on her body at an extremely slow speed after they were cut. It quickly solidified at the edge of the leather armor and froze before it could drip down in the cold weather.

This part of the shooting did not go very smoothly. In the low temperature, situations kept happening. After a few NGS, Chesare's expression was a little ugly. His eyebrows were tightly knitted, and the atmosphere of the scene became heavy.

Once again, Jiang se retreated far away. Her face was paler than before. The fatigue on her face was apparent. She panted heavily, and her breath turned into white mist that could be clearly seen under the camera.

Her eyelashes were already covered in frost, and the tip of her nose was red from the cold. She held the sword tightly in her hand. Even though she felt that it was extremely difficult to walk, she did not let go of the sword. Instead, she held it even tighter, vividly displaying the image of a tired but determined Knight who had returned from an expedition.

The church had received news long ago that some heretics were gathering in the North. She had gone to eradicate them under the orders of the temple.

Shireen had joined the church since she was young. She was a strong-willed and faithful believer of the church. She was determined to give up everything for God.

She had succeeded, but because the heretics were not simple cultists this time, most of the Knights who had gone with her had sacrificed themselves for the church in that battle. Shireen was the only survivor now. From the process of eliminating the heretics, she had learned a divine decree that the heretics called it God's redemption.

When the prayer recited this Oracle, the God would appear in the world to bless everyone who summoned him and fulfill his wishes.

This sort of news was far too important. She did not dare to delay for even a moment, wanting to rush back to the church and inform the Pope.

However, her injuries were also very serious. After forcing herself to walk for so many days, her physical strength was already not enough.

She had been walking in the snow for a long time. When she was exhausted, she looked up and saw the sign of a church in the town.

This was undoubtedly a great encouragement to Shireen.

This strange town was located at the Edge of the Empire. There were not many people, and the church was located in a corner of the town, looking a little shabby.

Her footsteps were originally very heavy. Every time she fell, it made people worry that she would not be able to lift herself up again. Her body was shaking slightly, and the cold was expelling the little vitality and warmth in her body. She seemed to be frozen.

However, when the old church appeared in front of her, her dazed eyes gradually began to shine again. In that instant, Shireen's face began to regain its color at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In an instant, her withered body seemed to be injected with new vitality. Her hunched back even straightened up again. She even subconsciously tidied up her appearance, and her every subtle movement showed that she wanted to face the church in her best state.

There was no need for a lengthy narrative, nor was there a need for chessaray's repeated explanations. At this moment, the Shireen that Jiang se was playing had revealed her beliefs and personality bit by bit. It was better than any words.

“Very good!” This scene was shot smoothly. Chessaray raised his hand and made a praising gesture. The smooth shooting and Jiang SE's performance swept away the unhappiness caused by the various delays in his work.

Mo Anqi ran up to them with a thick down jacket and draped it over Jiang SE's shoulders. Xia Chaoqun took the sword prop from her and handed her some ginger tea. Jiang se went to chessaray's side and watched her performance to find her own shortcomings.

The next scene would be Andre and Shireen's encounter. Jiang se rested for a moment to warm her hands before she got into character again.

The door of the church was wide open, which meant that God would not close the door to every believer. There should not be many believers in this church. When Shireen stumbled over, she first knelt down and kissed the threshold and the ground, then knelt and prayed, thanking God for giving her a blessed place to shelter from the wind and rain in this Blizzard.

Andre heard the noise outside and saw the poor Knight when he came out.

Due to the overly cold weather, two machines malfunctioned during this scene. The filming lasted until two in the morning. When chessaray finally said that they could pass, Jiang SE's feet nearly lost all feeling.

Laura and the others who had a grudge against Jiang se were there as well. They still had scenes to shoot in the early hours of the morning. However, as Jiang se and Donald's scene did not go well, their scenes were pushed back. The sweetheart of Hollywood looked upset. She would turn to her manager from time to time to complain about something while looking at Jiang se with disgust.
