The director locked Jiang Zhou and He Linjue in a colorful house in Greenland and asked them to run lines together every day to build rapport.
Until one day, Jiang Zhou said to him, "You look like you've really fallen for me."
He Linjue, usually refined and calm, suddenly flew into a rage and warned him not to think too highly of himself.
Later, Jiang Zhou kept following behind him, quietly reciting his lines. He Linjue complained that he wasn't putting any real feeling into them and told him to quit and drop out of the production.
Jiang Zhou was genuinely furious.
During a breakup scene, he smashed a cup in front of He Linjue and cried so hard he could barely catch his breath. Once he started, he couldn't stop. His lines shifted from a breakup to a heartfelt confession, and he packed his bags and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, He Linjue turned off the cameras, snatched up his suitcase, and threw it into the snow. He sat outside alone, gazing at the pink moon over the glacier, his heart aching terribly.
Two weeks into filming, the director caught an expression on He Linjue's face unlike anything he'd shown in his previous romance scenes. He glanced at Jiang Zhou, who was carefully preparing for the next scene in a corner, and said, "He Linjue, you've fallen into character."
