Chapter: 406
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.

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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPulling 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.
