250 The Ice Princess (2/2)
”Are you ready? Everyone ready?” Jack asked, looking at everyone. Then, his eyes landed on the cameraman and he gave him a thumb up. Then, Jack looked at the monitor. ”Ready in 3,2,1… action…”
Ryn's right hand played with the pendant rested on her chest before she lifted up her hand to protect her eyes from the sun, making sure the ring she was wearing was clear in the camera. Then, she pushed her hair to the back, revealing the earrings.
She slid down to her feet and started to skip around the place. When one of the crews played a slow song, Ryn started to dance gracefully. Once the song ended, she turned her head and smiled at the camera.
”And… cut…” Jack was happy. It was perfect. Ryn made use of the sunlight to show off the jewellery.
Two people quickly helped to bring a huge coat and hot drink to Ryn. Everyone was still a bit of shock seeing Ryn did not show any coldness with the snow all around her. Everyone else was wrapped in thick clothes but Ryn could still smile and dance gracefully clad in a dress.
”Are you alright?” Mika asked worriedly, helping rubbing Ryn's arms while Ryn was trying to drink her hot cocoa.
”Hmm… so cold…” Ryn choked out, shivering.
”Change into the next one,” Jack barked. He ignored the glare coming from Mika, too busy watching the take just now. He was impressed with the take. Maybe they could finish the whole thing in one day if Ryn kept up giving her best.
”Get ready with the blasting machine,” Jack ordered his crews.
Mika ignored the barking. She helped Ryn walking back into the small building they booked temporary for the sake of this filming. She and another girl helped changing Ryn's clothes as Ryn was too cold to untie or undo anything. Mika also helped taking out the jewelleries and replaced with the ones for the second dress. She also changed a little bit of the make-up on Ryn's face to suit the second scene. Even the hair was changed and this time Ryn was wearing a sort of helmet made from pearls and feathers. This time Ryn was not wearing a set of earrings. She only wore a necklace, bracelet and ring.
”This is quite extra,” Ryn stuttered.
”What extra?” Mika asked back. The helmet only revealing Ryn's bottom half so the make-up emphasized more on the lips.
”I don't know. My mind is blank. I think my brain has frozen,” Ryn choked out.
A girl quickly handed her a hand warmer. Ryn placed it close to her frozen cheeks. She really wanted to warm up herself quickly. She felt like crying from this cold but needed to maintain her professionalism when filming.
Was it possible for them to finish everything in one day so tomorrow she did not have to be in this cold place wearing only dresses?
”Mika…” she choked out.
”Hmm…”
”Next time… design thicker cloth…”
Mika nodded. She helped bringing Ryn back to the set. The jacket wrapped around Ryn was now double. She could not stop from saying sorry when she could feel Ryn's shiver. Why did she agree to this idea?
When they reached the set, there was a huge chair made of branches. Ryn was supposed to sit on it.
”Are you ready?” Jack asked.
Ryn handed the hand warmers and took off the sweaters. Then, she walked to the spot where the crews put a small X with a tape. It would be the start of the scene.
”I want a lot of anger, seriousness and charismatic in this one. No innocence at all,” Jack reminded before he ordered the camera to roll.
It was as if an elf princess was possessing Ryn's body and this time the princess was angry. She stormed toward the chair and sat on it. Despite the anger, she still looked angelic.
Mika and her teams sighed in fascinating seeing Ryn. Ryn had turned into an ethereal ice elf princess, so angelic but at the same time, there was no innocence in her eyes. But despite the anger, Ryn still looked beautiful. And her every movement really gave each jewellery its spot in the camera.
