Although the lighting engineer could sigh with relief, the filming process did not go on smoothly. Zhao Rang was harsh when he was in his working mode. Sometimes, the creases on Jiang Se's shirt did not please him, and the stylist had to smooth the fabric out for the retake. He would have loved it if every strand of Jiang Se's hair could obey his directions.
For this short scene alone, Jiang Se had to go through more than 20 NGs.
However, the effects were also visible. Even without digital editing, every second of the original recording was magnificently beautiful. What made Zhao Rang look at Jiang Se in a different light was that even after that many retakes, whether it was because of her, the lighting engineer, the stylist, or even the arrangement of the props, she showed no signs of being annoyed.
In fact, each of her performance was better than the last. The melody produced from her fingers sounded better every time she played it.
