We finished filming at Changlu Film City.

After filming the scenes at Changlu scenic spot for a week, Meng Tang led the crew to Wangfeng Mountain.

The temple on Wangfeng Mountain is the place where Meng Tang and Li Su went to gather inspiration and received free Buddhist beads and amulets from the old monk.

Because there aren't many attractions on Wangfeng Mountain, it hasn't been developed by the local government, and the path up the mountain is still the most primitive gravel path.

It was steep and rugged, making it difficult even for someone traveling light, let alone someone who was filming and had brought a lot of equipment.

By the time we finally arrived at the temple from the foot of the mountain, it was already dark.

Meng Tang had already spoken with the old monk, and they agreed that they would only film at the temple and not disturb the monks' practice, so she asked the crew to set up tents outside the temple to solve the accommodation problem.

Because they were going to film here for a week, in addition to the regular shooting, Meng Tang and Li Su also discovered some secluded spots with exceptionally beautiful scenery while exploring the surrounding area.

Besides the temple, we also filmed several more scenes at these unexpectedly discovered attractions.

Although filming in this place was quite tough, the scenery on the mountain was surprisingly beautiful, an effect that even millions of green screens couldn't replicate in post-production.

Moreover, filming is an infectious experience. Li Su was very dedicated and hardworking during filming, leading the entire cast to work very hard and take things seriously.

During this week, Meng Tang also increased the salaries of everyone in the crew, so the crew members were very motivated.

Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, the filming at the temple was completed two days ahead of schedule.

Since they were going down the mountain the next day, Meng Tang also organized a small bonfire party for the entire crew.

Because this place is remote and sparsely populated, during the nearly one week of filming, Song Guanting could only contact her by phone. Meng Tang didn't have to worry at all that Song Guanting would suddenly come to visit the set like before.

So at tonight's bonfire party, Meng Tang let loose a bit and drank quite a bit of alcohol with Li Su.

Drunk, he pulled the crew into a circle and danced around the campfire.

The photographer diligently continued to take pictures on the sidelines; these materials can be used as behind-the-scenes footage in post-production.

Just then, Meng Tang's phone rang.

When Meng Tang picked up her phone, her hand was a little unsteady. She shook her head before she could see the words "sucker".

It was a video call from Song Guanting.

Song Guanting was a little worried about Meng Tang going to the deep mountains and forests to film, but he also knew that his wife was very career-oriented and it was impossible to stop her from filming.

Song Guanting was busy with work, and he couldn't possibly put aside his own affairs to go to Meng Tang's film crew.

Previously, when filming was taking place at Changlu Film City, Song Guanting could occasionally visit the set, but this place is deep in the mountains and forests, and just climbing up the mountain is a difficult task.

So he asked Meng Tang to let him know she was safe every day, but tonight his wife still hadn't called.

Song Guanting was somewhat distracted during the meeting, and as soon as the meeting ended, he immediately made a WeChat video call.

After a while, the video call was finally connected, but the camera kept shaking.

The sound from the other end of the camera was very noisy, with talking, singing, and even shouting.

"Why is it so lively today?"

Meng Tang chuckled twice: "Because we filmed the temple scenes ahead of time, we can go down the mountain tomorrow, so let's celebrate together tonight."

As she spoke, Meng Tang casually held up her phone and showed it to Song Guanting, pointing it towards the campfire.

But Song Guanting wasn't interested in those people, and only said, "Turn the camera around and point it at yourself."

"Why are you looking at me? Do you want to see me? Hmm, Song Guanting, I never thought you were so clingy before. You look at me every day, don't you get tired of it?"

Although she said that, Meng Tang kept tapping on her phone, trying to turn the camera around.

"How do I turn it? Like this? Like this? No, no, why is the phone screen moving by itself? Don't move it, don't move it, I'm dizzy."

The camera shakiened more and more, accompanied by Meng Tang's dazed mutterings to herself.

Although he couldn't see Meng Tang's face, Song Guanting quickly realized, "Have you been drinking?"

The young wife's speech was slurred, and after searching for a long time, I couldn't find the camera panning. It seems she not only drank alcohol, but quite a lot.

Song Guanting frowned slightly.

"Just a little bit, just a little bit, hehe."

Meng Tang made a slight gesture towards the camera.

It's not just a little bit; he's clearly so drunk he can't tell which way is which.

Just as Song Guanting was about to lecture her, forbidding her from drinking anymore and telling her to go and rest, a figure suddenly entered the frame.

"Tangtang, what are you doing? Get up and dance."

The camera flashes by as Li Sudong sways back and forth, putting his arm around Meng Tang's shoulder and pulling her to dance around a bonfire.

Then, in a flash, the screen went completely black. It must have been because Meng Tang had casually tossed the phone aside. All that could be heard were the singing and cheers.

Looking at the dark camera lens and listening to the noisy sounds on the other end, Song Guanting rubbed his temples, feeling a rare headache.

It seems he shouldn't have been so lenient with his wife, letting her run so far away and get drunk, and he couldn't even go find her to settle the score right away.

Even though the camera was completely dark and nothing could be seen, only sound could be heard, Song Guanting did not hang up the video call.

He put his phone aside and continued working in his study. Since his wife wasn't home, and he couldn't sleep without her by his side, Song Guanting always suffered from insomnia.

If you can't sleep, you might as well keep working.

Meng Tang said that if the filming was done in advance, they could go down the mountain tomorrow, so he would finish his work in advance so that he could go down the mountain to pick her up tomorrow.

Just after midnight, the sound on the other end of the phone finally quieted down.

It seems the bonfire party is over, but the video feed is still black, indicating that Meng Tang is quite drunk and has forgotten about her phone.

Song Guanting sighed helplessly, thinking that now that the bonfire party was over, Meng Tang should go to sleep obediently.

With so many people in the crew, there's no need to worry about her getting drunk and causing any trouble.

Just as I was about to hang up the video, I suddenly heard a loud rumble, like thunder.

Immediately following was the sound of rain, and it was quite heavy, like a downpour, accompanied by howling wind.

It's raining?

Song Guanting drew back the curtains and looked outside.

The sky was pitch black, but there was no rain; it seemed to be raining in a localized area.

But a short while later, screams and various other noises came from the other end of the video.

"It's a mudslide!"

"The temple is collapsing! Run! Run!"

"There are still people inside! Wake them up!"

"Director Meng, don't go that way, it's dangerous..."

……

sizzle-

The sound became distorted, as if the signal had been jammed.

Song Guanting's expression changed drastically, and he quickly picked up his phone.

"Meng Tang? Meng Tang, can you hear me? What happened? Meng Tang, answer me!"
