Chapter 260 Meeting, Audition, And Production

Auburn Way Street, Elffire City.

It was here that the headquarters for the production of Moonlight's music videos was localized.

Arthur and his crew members arrived in the office early that Tuesday morning.

They had so many things to do that day, and they were about to have a meeting when they heard a knock on the door.

KNOCK KNOCK

They looked at each other and didn't know who might be the one at the door.

Arabella walked there and opened the door.

And when she saw who it was, a big smile appeared on her face.

"Helena!" Arabella exclaimed with a smile.

"Hey, can I come in?" Helena asked with a smile.

"Sure! I thought we would only see you in the afternoon." Arabella replied as she gave way for the girl.

"Well, I didn't have much to do this morning. So, I figured that I could watch you guys work. I want to learn more about how film production works." Helena replied with a smile.

That was true.

Arabella called Helena and Ishii yesterday to tell them that they wanted to hire the two of them again.

And as expected, Helena and Ishii accepted the proposal without any hesitations.

Who would refuse such an awesome job?

After they expressed their desire to keep working with the crew, Arabella told them to go to the Tulip Coffee Shop in the afternoon of the next day.

Because it was there that would happen the audition for the supporting roles in the music video.

As talented actors, the two of them could greatly contribute to the selection of good actors.

Ayia posted the audition notice in the Acting Association of Elffire City yesterday.

So, Arthur and the rest were expecting a lot of people to come to the auditions.

"Hey, guys! Good morning!" Helena greeted everyone when she entered the room.

"Helena!"

"Good morning!"

"Hey, girl!"

Everyone greeted the brown-haired girl with big smiles.

"Okay, let's gather and talk about our plans for the day." Arthur said as he sat by the center table.

The others nodded and took a seat by the center table too.

"Let's cut to the chase. Kanna, what do we have today?" Arthur asked as he looked at his girlfriend.

As the Production Coordinator, Kanna was responsible for organizing the schedule of the production in the most efficient way.

"I was thinking about diving ourselves into three teams. This way we can speed up the production and be more efficient." Kanna suggested as she looked at her notepad.

"Nomura, Kaitlyn, Buddy, and Bobby will scout and search the locations."

"Arthur, Obara, Ishii, Helena, and Arabella will run the auditions."

"And Niwa, Kate, and I will start projecting the art designs for the video." Kanna said finally.

The others had thoughtful faces as they heard that.

"I think that's a good idea. This way we can be way more efficient." Arthur agreed with a smile.

"Kanna is right. Scouting and searching the locations for the scenes will take the whole day. And if we do not separate, we will take much more time in production." Nomura commented.

"Plus, the auditions will only happen in the afternoon. In the morning I can start making the storyboard for the scenes." Arthur added with a pondering face.

"Yes, also this way we can define what we need for the production faster. And Ayia-san can get us what we need faster." Niwa commented.

As the art director, Niwa was responsible for designing the clothes and art concept for the video.

So, when she finished these things, she would need the clothes, props, materials, and the other things needed to make her art concept happen.

And if she did not ask these things in advance with Ayia, the production would be delayed.

They discussed other details after that, and when they were done, they dispersed to do their tasks.

Nomura, Buddy, Kaitlyn, and Bobby took the truck and went to scout possible locations to shoot.

What they did was essential because it was with their input in these locations that Arthur could plan how the shootings should go in every place.

Plus, they also needed to know where they would film. Because in case needed, they could ask Ayia to apply for a permit to film in these places.

While they would do that for the whole day, Helena decided to help Niwa before she had to go to the audition.

Niwas, Kate, and Kanna would be designing the clothes and the scenery.

And Helena was interested in that, so she volunteered for helping the girls in the morning.

And it was when she was helping the girls that she heard that she would receive double the money in this music video!

She could not contain her excitement when she heard that.

Ten thousand dollars!

That was a huge amount of money for a girl who was just starting her career as an actress.

Just to situate how much money was ten thousand dollars, this was the amount of money that the system gave Theo when he transmigrated.

And it was with this money that Theo changed his life.

It was with ten thousand dollars that Theo bought a coffee shop and renovated the shop.

Some people might think that this amount of money cannot buy a coffee shop.

But what they forget is that the shop that Theo bought was about to close because of the lack of customers.

The previous owner of the shop would instead have to pay money to the bank if he did not sell the shop.

And when Theo offered six thousand dollars for the shop, he was beyond ecstatic.

After all, he was about to lose money, but Theo instead gave him six thousand dollars.

Some may even argue that the equipment in the shop was worth money, but what these people don't know was that all the equipment that was in the shop was super old and wasn't worth any money.

Actually, most of the money that Theo spent on renovations was spent on buying new machines for the coffee shop.

So, it was justifiable the amount of money that Theo spent in his coffee shop.

And the BlueCloud Coffee Shop only became a success because of Theo and the help of the system.

Therefore, when Helena heard that she would get 10k dollars, she was beyond happy.

With this money, she could prove to her parents that she could take care of herself as an actress.

Her parents had already become less suspicious when they heard that she earned 5k dollars as an actress.

When they hear that she was earning even more money, Helena was sure that they would not be as restrictive as they were before.

While the girls were busy designing.

Arthur, Obara, and Arabella were busy working on the script, storyboard, shooting plans, and so on.

Arthur needed to finish that as soon as possible because it was only after he finished these things that they would be able to start filming.

It was already said before the importance of these things, so everyone must understand the importance of what Arthur was doing.

The morning went like that with everyone working non-stop.

And when the time of the audition neared, Arthur and the rest headed toward the coffee shop.

And the girls who were responsible for the art designs stayed at the office.

The audition went without hiccups.

Helena and Ishii proved to be excellent helpers as they helped Arthur pick the actors for the supporting roles.

And this was how the first day of production of the 'Perfect' Music Video went by.

Now they had eight days to finish the production.

Would they be able to finish it?
