Chapter 399
Ariana responded to Francis in a dismissive tone and shifted the conversation.
“You mentioned that the scheduling conflict can be resolved.
For the upcoming week, I’d like to switch the shooting schedule from night to daytime to allow for more time in the evenings.
Would that be feasible?”
“Certainly.
I’ll have someone arrange it.
” Francis promptly complied, instructing a stage supervisor to reorganize the entire schedule.
Ariana bid Francis farewell, satisfied, and departed from the set.
Two days later, just as Ariana was about to shut down her computer late at night, a new message appeared in her inbox.
It was a new document from Jayson.
The name of the document was “short video script”.
Ariana opened it and read the script intently, marveling at Jayson’s undeniable talent.
The short script adaptation surpassed her expectations.
It didn’t divulge the original story’s core and even introduced a few twists.
Furthermore, the scene in which Tyler buried the victim’s body during the audition was included, and his concluding smile was also incorporated into the ending.
Upon finishing reading the script, Ariana promptly called Jayson.
“Hey, Mr.
Spears, I’ve read the script.
It’s fantastic.
I can’t wait for it.
”
Jayson maintained his composure.
“We’re short on time.
We can begin shooting tomorrow night.
”
“That’s not an issue.
But what about the crew? And what about the shooting venue?”

“I’ll handle everything.
Don’t worry.
There is, however, another concern.
” Pausing briefly, Jayson continued, “Since you’re familiar with the content now, you know Jaxen mistakenly killed his first love and buried her.
While there aren’t many scenes with his first love, the role is crucial, and we must take it seriously.
Our top priority is to find an actress who can portray her.
”
“How about searching for a female undergrad at the film academy?” Ariana suggested.
Jayson dismissed the idea.
“That won’t work.
Art school students need their teachers’ approval to join a crew.
There are numerous procedures that would consume time and impede our shooting schedule.
”
“Then what do we do? We can’t find a seasoned actress on such short notice, and we can’t afford a professional one either,” Ariana said worriedly.
After a lengthy silence, Jayson unexpectedly inquired, “Would you be willing to give ita try?”
“Wait, me?”
The following evening, Ariana emerged awkwardly from the makeshift lounge, adomed with makeup and dressed in a sailor suit and pleated skirt.
Pulling at the skirt’s hem, she felt uneasy.
Turning to the people waiting outside, she said, “Can we find someone else, please? It’s odd for a woman in her twenties to play a 16-year-old girl.
We can still look for a student from a school.
”
However, both Jayson and Tyler approved of Ariana’s attire.
“I don’t think it’s a problem.
It matches the script’s first-love image.
I don’t believe an art school girl would do this role justice.
” Jayson smiled gently.
