    Chapter 53 Shooting starts

    After the video exhibition in October, Gao Huan met Julien several times.It’s not too frequent, and there’s no fixed schedule. It’s like a tacit understanding of the interval, allowing the two of them to maintain a non-awkward rhythm – have a glass of wine, have lunch, or even watch a movie.

    There was ambiguity, but no one took another step forward, as if they were afraid of breaking some balance; no one took a step back, as if they were afraid that the feeling would dissipate.

    During this period, Gao Huan had already approved the project, and the documents went through the internal process at Haoyue Media before being sent to Grace. The budget was not large, so she approved the money without hesitation.The finance department quickly transferred the first money into Haoyue Media’s account.

    By February of the following year, when the filming of “Hertz” officially started, no one knew the relationship between the director and the investors – Gao Huan himself couldn’t say what the relationship was.

    The late winter air in London is filled with cold, moist particles, which make you feel strangely calm when they fall on your skin.The crew chose the first scene in an abandoned nursing home – the walls were peeling off, the iron windows were rusty, and the white tiles reflected the cold light, as if it was a set prepared for this doomsday story.

    Half of the second floor was sealed off, and the second scene was to be filmed here.It is the climax of “Hertz” – the woman hears the so-called “response”, but before the final reveal of the film, the audience will not know that it is a hallucination, let alone that she is just a patient, a mental patient whose symptoms have changed qualitatively.

    Julien put the monitor in place and checked the monitor for minimal static.The whole place was as quiet as if there was no one around.

    The clapperboard was taken, and a woman appeared in the camera: Gao Le turned his back to the camera, wearing an old purple sweater with frayed cuffs and hair balls all over his body. His hair was combed back, but it was messy. As he walked, he said into the walkie-talkie in his hand: “Hello”

    She turned around numbly, her eyes were tired, and she just said numbly and repeatedly: “Hello”

    Julien stood up and said to the photographer: “Tweet, mouth.”

    Gao Le’s lips were chapped, with a thin layer of white skin on them, as if they hadn’t touched water for a long time.Almost pressed against the intercom, repeating the word.Suddenly the lip vibrated, and a very weak noise appeared on the intercom – “Yes.”

    Julien looked at the monitor, holding his hands between his knees, holding his breath, looking at Gao Le who was trembling all over, and suddenly a light flashed in his numb and tired eyes.Immediately, he took out his hands, clenched his fists in the air, shook them slightly, and exhaled – he knew that she had found the deeper “madness”.

    “Cut!”

    When Julien turned back to talk to others, he caught a glimpse of Gao Huan who was visiting the class not far away.He didn’t know when he started standing there, leaning against the wall, arms crossed, looking at his sister with a frown.

    Gao Le stopped in place for a while, then slowly pulled out of her role and walked towards the monitor. Everyone in the audience whispered: “Great job!”, but her face showed no joy for the time being.She also saw Gao Huan and asked him to come and see her too.Julien handed her a bottle of water and said, “e and have a look.”

    Gao Le saw his dry and trembling lips on the monitor, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised: “Not bad.”

    Gao Huan also saw it behind them. The picture on the screen was much more delicate than the real scene he just saw.He suddenly had a new understanding of Gao Le, or actors.He had seen her play the roles of the slutty prince and the indifferent king on the stage of the graduation drama, but this time, it was as if she was a different person, fragile and absurd.

    Julien looked back at him, pursed his lips and nodded.After several months of getting along, Gao Huan knew what he meant: deep agreement.

    Gao Huan seemed to have convinced himself on the way here that he was here to see Gao Le. Even though he was ashamed to admit it, the fact was that his eyes were mostly on Julien.When the machine was turning, even though he only saw his back, Gao Huan felt that this person seemed to be led by some invisible thread. His body was straight, either motionless, or suddenly making a small gesture, as if his thoughts or feelings couldn’t help but be externalized.

    Gao Huan stood behind, and when he looked at him, he had a particularly slight and brief illusion:

    This is also the case when Lin Yi approves experimental data.

    He immediately stiffened for a moment before he realized the danger, but his heart was already moved.
