Chapter 257 Discussions

Tulip Coffee Shop, Elffire City.

"So, did you like it?" Moonlight asked the crew members with a playful voice.

"It was amazing!" Kate was the first to shout with excitement.

"This song is so beautiful!"

"I even started crying!"

"Well, I can understand why. You are such a loner and hearing this love song must have made you want to find a lover."

"You bastard! I have you know that I know plenty of people who would be thrilled to date me!"

"Really? Who?"?

Everyone started talking excitedly about the song, and Theo was happy that his song was liked by them.

They were talking about it when suddenly some girls stopped near them.

"Hmm, excuse me?" The girl asked with a shy voice.

Theo and the others turned their head and looked at the three girls that arrived near them.

The girls seemed to be teenagers and they had shy looks as they looked at Theo with obsessed eyes.

"Yes? How can we help you?" Arabella asked with a smile.

She and the others already could imagine why these girls came to them.

After all, the same thing happened when they played Moonlight's song last week in this shop.

"We heard that song and we loved it! We wanted to know the names of the song and the artist." The girl asked shyly.

She could not help but feel shy as she noticed these older people looking at her.

Especially the masked red-eyed man.

"Its name is 'Perfect' and I am the singer of it. My name is Moonlight." Theo's gentle voice replied to the girl's question.

The girls became super excited when they heard that the masked man was the singer of the beautiful song.

"Really? Can we take a selfie with you?" The girl asked with an excited voice.

"Sure!" Theo replied as he stood up to take a selfie with them.

The girls were super excited as they took pictures with Theo.

Even though they were a little sad when Theo told them that they would only be able to hear his song when he release his album at the end of the month, they still had happy faces when they left Theo's table.

,m They had already become Moonlight's diehard fans.

And they could not wait for him to release his album!

"Okay, where were we?" Theo asked as he sat down by the table again.

"You were about to tell us about the music video." Kanna replied.

"Oh, that's true. You guys can read the script now. After you guys do that I will be able to tell you about my ideas and you also can ask any doubt you have about the production." Theo declared as he motioned them to start reading.

The crew members readily started reading the script.

Arthur was the most focused on the reading, after all, he was the director and his job was basically following and applying the script.

Therefore, he needed to be even super careful when he analyzed a script.

Arthur had high expectations for this script after the excellent script they received for their first project with Moonlight.

And he was not disappointed as he read the script.

It was as good as the past script!

Arthur had a smile on his face when he finished reading the script.

Even though the others were not as knowledgeable as him, they still had smiles on their faces when they finished reading the paper.

They could recognize a good script when they saw one.

And that was exactly what they found when they read the paper that Moonlight gave to them.

It was another amazing project.

"Okay, now that you read the script, let's start discussing." Theo said with a calm voice when he noticed that they finished reading the script.

Theo and the crew members started discussing the music video for hours.

They said things like:

"Moonlight, I noticed that this script has a female and male lead and some support actors. Can we hire the same female and male lead from the last music video? They are super talented and that would shorten the casting process." Kanna asked with a pondering face.

"You can. I really liked their acting, so I do not have a problem with them being the lead actors in this music video too." Theo replied with a smile behind his mask.

Theo was truly impressed with Helena and Ishii's performance, their acting made his music video even better, so he did not mind having the same actors in different music videos.

The crew members were happy when they heard that Helena and Ishii would work with them again.

After working for one week together, they wanted to work with the two young actors again.

"How about the other actors for the supporting roles?" Arthur asked.

"You hire them as you seem fit." Moonlight replied calmly.

They talked about the scenes too.

"What type of image do you want the scenes to have? What type of art concept?" Niwa asked.

As the art director, she needed to know exactly what her boss wanted.

She did not want to make mistakes when she designed the art for the video.

"Hmm, I was thinking about having this music video with New Year's Celebration vibe. You can use the typical colors of the celebration as the main ones. But do not only focus on that. Try to mix some other elements there." Theo replied calmly after thinking about it for a while.

"And what about the camera settings?" Nomura asked.

As the cinematographer, he needed to be clear about how Theo wanted the scenes to be filmed.

"Let's shoot with the same settings that you guys did before. But be attentive to adjust anything you guys deem fit for this current project." Theo replied.

"You guys will have nine days to finish the shooting. I also talked with Ayia-san about increasing your payment." Theo declared with a calm voice.

He could give them less time, but he knew that with the script that he gave them, they needed more than one week to finish filming all the scenes that he wanted.

And because he saw how talented they were, Theo did not mind increasing their payment.

For the work they did in Theo's first music video, the crew received sixty thousand dollars.

After splitting among themselves, each one of them received 6 thousand dollars.

Everyone on the crew was essential, so no one receive more than the other.

Even Arthur was no exception.

It was actually his idea to split evenly the money.

That was the most money they received for a single job in their lives.

So, they never complained about the payment they received.

But when they heard that they would receive a bigger payment, they could not help but feel excited.

Who would deny receiving more money?

"Yeah, Moonlight told me to double your payment. So, after you sign this contract and you finish the job, you will receive 120k dollars." Ayia said with a little pout cheek as she gave them the contract for them to sign.

She did like hearing Theo referring to her as Ayia-san, Theo only called her like that when he first met her.

But she understood why he did that, he wanted to pass an image that his relationship with her was purely professional.

He did that to protect her.

The crew members were excited and they barely read the contract before they signed it.

Theo and the crew members discussed several other things for another hour.

It was then that Theo, Ayia, and Shizuka bade goodbye to them.

Theo already told them everything they needed to know.

He was looking forward to what they would bring to him nine days later.

Would they be able to produce something as good as their first work?
