Instead of filming the complex scenes as originally planned, Jin Zhuo had Song Mo walk along the Bai Causeway first.

Without even looking at their expressions, they just walked away, and the photographer followed behind, taking pictures of their backs and profiles.

Fog is the best filter, softening everything.

Music videos these days aren't as complicated as they are in later times; they mostly feature a character feigning sadness in a cramped setting.

There aren't many studios like Jin Zhuo that pursue exquisite real-life scenes.

Song Mo walked on the Bai Causeway, with a thin layer of snow under his feet and a vast expanse of white lake in front of him. The wind blew by, carrying snowflakes that hit his face, making it feel cool.

After filming Song Mo's scenes, Jin Zhuo called Fan Binbin to the Broken Bridge.

She stood in the middle of the bridge, the wind blowing her scarf, snowflakes landing on her shoulders.

Jin Zhuo told her not to look at the camera, but to stare blankly at the lake.

Fan Binbin only needed two lines to pass.

Jin Zhuo watched the playback from behind the monitor and nodded repeatedly: "Good, this one is good, there's something in her eyes."

Fan Binbin came down from the broken bridge, rubbing his hands together as he ran to Song Mo's side, smiling and saying, "How was it? Did I embarrass you?"

"How could that be?" Song Mo handed her a hand warmer. "You must be freezing!"

"It's alright, there are many colder times when filming." Fan Binbin said excitedly as he took the hand warmer.

"You looked absolutely stunning just now, the scenery was beautiful and you were even more beautiful." Song Mo praised sincerely. It has to be said that Fan Binbin is definitely a bright and beautiful woman. In this hazy scenery, her appearance was brought out to the extreme. To exaggerate a bit, she was simply breathtakingly beautiful.

Hearing Song Mo's praise, Fan Binbin didn't feign modesty. She tilted her head back slightly, looked at Song Mo with her big eyes, and said with obvious satisfaction, "You're only realizing this now?"

"No, but isn't it exceptionally beautiful this time?" Song Mo said with a smile.

"By the way, has Yuanyuan's music video been filmed yet?"

Fan Binbin's scenes were few, and all of them were filmed in two days. Before leaving, Fan Binbin and Song Mo made an appointment to meet again in Yanjing.

In the following days, although the fog over West Lake dissipated, Jin Zhuo still filmed some additional scenes.

By the time the music video for "Broken Bridge in Lingering Snow" was finished, it was already the end of January 2003, just three days before the Lunar New Year.

Bi Xiaoshi held a small meeting at the hotel and announced that everyone would be on holiday.

"Jinsha, go back to Shanghai to spend the New Year with your parents. I don't want to hear your dad nagging anymore. Everyone else, those who want to go home can go home, those who don't can stay put and rest. We'll meet again on the fifth day of the New Year to continue filming in Suzhou." He paused, then looked at Jin Zhuo, "Old Jin, are you going home for a visit?"

Jin Zhuo waved his hand: "I'm not going back. I'll use these next few days to edit the footage I shot earlier. The snow scene at West Lake was great, I need to strike while the iron is hot."

Bi Xiaoshi nodded, then looked at Song Mo: "Little Song, what about you? Are you going back to Yanjing?"

Song Mo thought for a moment and said, "I won't go back. I have something to do."

He didn't say what it was about, and Bi Xiaoshi didn't ask.

Jinsha packed her luggage and came to find Song Mo before leaving, smiling and saying, "Junior brother, Happy New Year, see you after the New Year."

"Happy New Year." Song Mo saw her to the hotel entrance. "Please give my regards to your uncle and aunt."

Jinsha nodded and got into the car with her suitcase.

The hotel suddenly became much emptier; some members of the group went back to their hometowns, while others went sightseeing in HZ city.

Song Mo returned to his room, tidied up briefly, and then bought a ticket to Ningbo.

A few days ago, Gao Yuanyuan called him and lamented that the film crew wouldn't have a holiday for the Chinese New Year this year.

The entire crew of "The Legendary Doctor and His Companion" is almost finished filming, so the director has decided not to take a holiday during the Chinese New Year and try to finish filming in one go.

Song Mo was thinking that since she couldn't move around there and he was nearby, he might as well go visit her on set.

After arriving in Ningbo, Song Mo rented a car and went directly to Xiangshan Film and Television City.

Although it's almost Chinese New Year, Xiangshan Film and Television City is still quite lively, with several film crews shooting at the same time. After all, there are fewer film crews during the Spring Festival, so the cost of renting the venue is naturally lower.

When Song Mo arrived at the set of "The Divine Doctor and the Heroine", it was already the afternoon of Lunar New Year's Eve.

The security guards on site had already finished their shifts and gone home; the scene was mostly filled with extras and crew members.

When Song Mo arrived at the film set and saw the chaotic scene, he felt a little helpless. He could only grab a female production assistant who was hurrying past him and ask, "Hello, is Gao Yuanyuan at the Shanghai Theatre Academy?"

The stagehand, suddenly grabbed, was bewildered and about to get angry when he looked up and saw Song Mo's face. His voice softened involuntarily, "Gao Yuanyuan is getting ready in the back dressing room. Who are you? What do you want with her?"

"I'm her friend, just dropping by to see her, thanks." Song Mo smiled, let go of her hand, and turned to walk in the direction she pointed.

Song Mo had a smooth journey and soon arrived at the dressing room.

Song Mo looked at the nameplate of Gao Yuanyuan hanging on the door of the dressing room and knocked on the door as well.

"Who is it? The door is unlocked," the makeup artist shouted.

Song Mo pushed open the door and entered. He saw Gao Yuanyuan wearing a light purple theatrical costume with a military overcoat over it. Her hair was tied up with a few hairpins, and she was wearing makeup. At this moment, she was closing her eyes and letting the makeup artist remove her makeup.

The makeup artist looked at Song Mo with a puzzled expression, frowning. "Who are you? Are you from our crew?"

Hearing the sound, Gao Yuanyuan opened her eyes and saw a person standing at the door in the mirror.

He was very tall, wearing a black down jacket, carrying a bag, and smiling at her.

She froze for a moment, then sprang up from her chair, nearly knocking the makeup artist's hand away.

"Song Mo?"

The makeup artist exclaimed in surprise, dropping her eyebrow pencil.

Gao Yuanyuan didn't have time to apologize. She rushed to the door and stood facing Song Mo, looking at him.

"Why are you here?" Her voice was unusually excited.

"You've come to visit the set?" Song Mo handed her the bag. "I brought some Hangzhou specialties, osmanthus cake. I don't know if you'll like it."

Gao Yuanyuan took the bag, glanced down at it, then looked up at him, suddenly unsure of what to say.

She had thought she would have to spend the Chinese New Year on set this year, but she never expected Song Mo to come all the way from Hangzhou.

"You...you've finished filming your music video?" she asked.

"Not yet, I'll continue after the New Year," Song Mo said. "I had a few days off, and since I was free anyway, I thought I'd come see you."

Gao Yuanyuan opened her mouth, as if to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and in the end she could only manage to utter, "Have you eaten?"

"not yet."

"Wait a moment, I'll be done removing my makeup soon," Gao Yuanyuan said excitedly.

She immediately returned to her seat, opened the osmanthus cake, offered a piece to the makeup artist's lips, then clasped her hands together in a pitiful pleading manner, "Sister, please try it. Could you please remove my makeup a little faster? My friend is waiting for me."

The makeup artist gave Song Mo a strange look, then looked at the elated Gao Yuanyuan, and nodded vaguely: "The osmanthus cake tastes good."

Gao Yuanyuan quickly removed her makeup and changed back into her down jacket.

"Come on, I'll take you to eat." Gao Yuanyuan pulled Song Mo's hand and walked outside, but stopped after a couple of steps and turned back to the makeup artist, saying, "Sister, thank you."

The makeup artist waved her hand without saying a word, but her eyes kept scanning Song Mo.

She felt this person looked familiar, and then it suddenly dawned on her, "Oh right, isn't this the one who had a scandal with Gao Yuanyuan a while ago? Back then, quite a few reporters came to interview Gao Yuanyuan, and Gao Yuanyuan even clarified that they were just friends. I didn't expect that during the Lunar New Year, this so-called friend would actually come to the film set to accompany her. Tsk tsk, this relationship is not ordinary."

Just as the makeup artist's gossip-fueled desire was burning brightly...

The two had just stepped out of the dressing room when they ran into Jia Jingwen.
