Behind the End - Herophine

24 - WEEK 1

The first week of October brought Chance Perdomo, the new Landon, Tessa's best friend to the hotel, I already knew him from a job I did for a brand, he lived in London so he has the same accent as me, a very funny guy and professional, known for working on "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina", a great actor and I know that he will be a great friend too, he has already become involved with Jô and the production.

The second day of October was Castille's birthday, the audience was already used to seeing her, which was very good! She answered some questions that were open, some doubts about the scenes, what she liked, what she didn't like, and people were calming down. As she was always with us since we arrived at the hotel, always very helpful, she helped us, she and Jô were already great friends, we decided with some people from the production to surprise her in her room, while she was out solving some things to the beginning of the shootings, we put balloons, sweets and cake in her room and when she arrived we screamed: "Surprise!" At her door, it was very funny, she took a big leap and a louder scream.

I met a young girl from the new production, blonde, pretty, a few years older than me, and I talked a lot with her while I was alone, she is nice and is always solving things we need. Even before we started shooting, I really wanted to play some sport and I noticed that there was a park outside the hotel, I talked to some guys from the production, we changed and went, Jô this day was solving some things and stayed in her bedroom. My team won both basketball games and it was amazing, what I wasn't expecting was meeting some fans at the hotel door, they took pictures and when we got to the rooms I opened Instagram and noticed that I was already on several pages, our silence had been broken, it was official now for everyone, if anyone still doubted, we were in Bulgaria.

Our first day of shooting finally arrived, it was Sunday, we were going to test, angles, cameras and try to shoot some scenes in college, what made us a little scared was finding fans waiting for us again, after a few takes they released me to say "hi" to them, they were very happy, which made me happy too, with everything that was happening, I was getting a little worried that maybe everyone would leave us...

I didn't know what to do, if I waved, if I thanked, it was hot and I was holding a shitty big plastic mask that was already making me angry, but I was still happy to go back to shooting and see all the commotion that After brought. We shooted scenes of Hardin writing in his notebook, Tessa and Landon talking and Tessa and Hardin doing what they do best, discussing, Jô was beautiful as always, after a few hours, we had already changed clothes for the other scenes , we sat in a shade on some benches to rest, and then take a picture of us to post the new characters on the official profile of After and try to alleviate a little bit the whole situation that was causing a lot of conflicts between the fans, who still had no information about the changes that were happening. The characters that changed and the new actors that would join the casting were: Chance Perdomo as Landon, Tessa's best friend; Stephen Moyer as Vance, friend of Hardin and boss of Tessa; Mira Sorvino as Carol, Tessa's mother; Arielle Kebbel as Kimberly, Tessa's work friend and Carter Jenkins as Robert, Tessa's future "something"...

Stephen, the new Vance, who we later discovered a big secret about him, finally arrives in Bulgaria for next week's shootings, but was quarantined in his hotel room. I spoke to him a few times, he is very nice, he has the same accent as me, which is really cool because finally there are more Britons on the set, which hasn't happened the other times, he likes music, he's always composing in his room.

The next day, we shot scenes from London, parts of Hardin's mother's wedding, like the other time, the scenes are shot at random, it depends a lot on the scenario, the actors available, everything is very timed so that it works out in time reserved set. Hardin with a big coat, he held some bags, we took a lot of my walks walking from side to side, angry, as always, while Jô shooted other scenes, with a long green dress, we shooted many scenes this day. We returned tired to the hotel, waiting for the next day, also full of scenes to shoot

Another set day, it was the external scenes, fans again found us, now in our trailers, I went to talk to them for a while, holding the fucking mask everywhere! They filmed me entering Jô's trailer, I stayed with her for a while, we chatted about the day, we had some snacks together, and I left before her so that no one said anything. We finished the scene and went to the internal studio, ending another tiring day, but on this day Jô lay beside me in bed, which made up for it.
