Chapter 243 Bad News And Good News
Saturday, December 5th.
Auburn Way Street, Elffire City.
7:54 AM.
"Hey, guys, good morning!" Helena greeted everyone with a smile as she entered the room.
After working together for one week, Helena had an amazing time.
It was the first time she felt welcomed when working as an actress.
Her coworkers treated her kindly, and she finally could show her skills.
"Good morning, Helena!" Kate smiled at the brown-haired girl.
"Hey, Helena!"
"Good morning, Helena!"
The other members of the crew greeted their actress with a smile too.
It was not only Helena who was happy to work with them.
Everyone was happy to work with each other.
Even more, because all the scenes they filmed so far were made without problems.
"Okay, guys, now that Helena arrived. Let's have a meeting." Arthur said as he sat by the center table.
The others nodded and also took a seat at the table.
"I believe everyone is aware that we will shoot the last two scenes today." Arthur started.
"Yeah, we know." Niwa replied.
"I have good and bad news to tell you guys." Arthur stated as he looked at them.
"Tell us the bad news first." Nomura said.
"The bad news is that the weather forecast predicts that a snowstorm will descend in Elffire City in the night. And if we want to deliver the footage to Moonlight today before the deadline, we have to film the two scenes without any accidents." Arthur informed with a calm face.
"What? But one of the scenes that will film today will be made outdoors!" Arabella exclaimed.
"That's not even the worst thing. The script says that we have to film the scene when the sun is setting." Nomura commented as he shook his head.
Everyone was worried when they heard this news.
No accidents happened in the past days, so they thought they would finish the shooting without problems.
They didn't expect that something would happen that would make them delay the last shooting of the production.
The scene would happen on the Archaic Stone Bridge in the old section of the city.
The bridge was beautiful and it was one of the tourist points of the city.
The script said that scene should happen outdoors where the sunset light reached without impediments.
And after Nomura visited the bridge, he immediately chose it to be the place of the shooting.
"We have to pray that the sun lasts until then." Kate commented as she looked through the window.
The others also looked at the sunlight coming through the window with worried faces.
Today the sun was warmer than any other day of the past week.
At first, they were happy because the sun was out today, and with the sunlight, they would have the perfect conditions to shoot the two scenes.
But it seemed that this was the calm before the storm.
They saw how heavy the snowstorm hit Elffire City last Monday, and if that happened before the sunset today, they would have to postpone the shooting.
Consequently, they would not deliver the footage before the deadline.
"And the good news?" Buddy asked.
"The good news is that Ayia said that Moonlight told us to stay in Elffire City after the production ends. If he likes our footage, he will hire us for his next projects." Arthur said with a smile.
His crewmates immediately beamed in joy when they heard that.
"That's amazing!"
"We have to do our best!"
"I don't want to leave Elffire City yet!"
They started talking excitedly.
"Ishii and Helena, you too. Moonlight said that if he likes your performance, he will hire you two again." Arthur said as he looked at the two young actors.
As expected, Helena and Ishii were ecstatic with this news.
They could not believe that they had the chance to perform in front of the cameras so soon.
The two of them hadn't worked as actors for so long before they got the part in this production.
And now they had the possibility of landing two jobs in a row.
Everyone was burning with determination with the news that Arthur brought.
Even though they could only pray to not snow before sunset, they would still give their all to finish today.
They wanted to impress Moonlight!
They wanted to work in another production!
"The first scene we will shoot today is in this building. Everyone knows what to do. Let's start working!" Arthur exclaimed with a smile on his face.
He was as excited as everyone else.
After all, he was determined to produce the best music videos for Moonlight.
He was living his dream!
The dream that his family despised, but he never gave up on it.
He wanted to show everyone that he was good.
His crew members nodded and started working immediately.
The first scene they would film today was the scene where the two characters woke up after sleeping together.
It was a simple scene, but for it, they needed an apartment with furniture.
That's why they were only shooting the scene on the last day, Ayia had to get an apartment with the features that Theo wanted and the things that Niwa wanted.
They needed the bed where the two characters were sleeping to be placed in front of the window, and the morning sun had to hit the bed too.
There were several other details in the scene too.
The crew started moving in their respective assignments.
Kate would do Helena and Ishii's makeup.
Helena and Ishii reviewed the script.
Bobby, Kaitlyn, Buddy, and Nomura went to the truck to get the equipment.
They would pick up the equipment and set it up in the apartment that Ayia told them to go to.
Arabella, Kanna, and Niwa would set up the props and objects that would appear in the film.
And finally, Arthur would coordinate everyone.
After working 1 week together, the crew was used to the pace and the equipment used in the production.
So, they were much faster than they were in the first scene they filmed.
After a while, Helena and Ishii arrived in the apartment where the scene would happen.
They observed the lighting and camera equipment in wonder as they got the clothes that they would wear in the scene.
"It's better this way. We can make use of the sunlight without affecting the film." Bobby commented as he set up the last lighting equipment.
He was the lighting expert, so the other members of the technical crew just nodded in approval with his words.
"We are almost ready!" Niwa shouted when she saw that the equipment was ready and the actors were already dressing in the clothes she chose.
Some props were necessary for the film dynamics, so she had to be extra careful in setting up them.
After a while, Helena and Ishii appeared wearing only pajamas.
They looked cute in it.
They even took a picture dressed like that.
Actually, the crew took several pictures as they filmed the scened throughout the week.
They wanted to record their first work together.
The work would be the turning point in their lives.
Even though they would only be able to post these pictures after the video was released, they were okay with it.
They wanted to show everyone the behind-the-scenes of this project.
That's why they had a bunch of pictures together.
They could not wait to post them!
"Okay, let's go! Helena and Ishii, get in position!" Arthur said loudly when he saw that everything was ready.
Helena and Ishii nodded and headed to the bed.
They had to act like they were sleeping.
Everyone else had a serious face as they heard that.
The last day of shootings started, and they had to do their best!
The first scene of the day was looking good.
But would they be able to shoot the last scene of the production?
