Greenhorn Hostel, Elffire City.
Arthur and the crew woke up early that Saturday.
The night before, they received confirmation from Ayia that the casting would occur Saturday morning.
Ayia had posted a cast calling in the Elffire Acting Association for the two roles of the music video.
Each role would pay five thousand dollars, and that was much more money than these actors usually get for gigs.Â
Ayia got the information that there were lots of actors interested.
She hoped that talented actors answered the call.
The place of the casting would be the same coffee shop where the crew had a meeting with Moonlight.
Arthur and Kanna got out of their room with excited faces.
And when everyone met to have breakfast, the others were visibly excited.
It could not be helped, this project would change their lives.
They had the chance to produce something amazing, so they could not wait to start working.
"How did you guys sleep?" Arthur asked them as he sat down to eat.
"I was too excited to sleep, so I only was able to fall asleep when it was 3 am." Buddy exclaimed with a sleepy voice as he drank a coffee to wake up.
"Me too! I kept thinking about what we would do today and this project, and when I saw the time it was already super late." Kate added as she took a bite of her pancakes.
"Well, we won't work hard today because it's only the casting. But starting tomorrow we will have to work really hard." Kanna commented as she sipped her coffee.
"Yeah, Ayia told me yesterday that we will have at max only one week to shoot all the scenes." Arthur informed them.
"What?" Niwa and Arabella exclaimed when they heard that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe others were also shocked by what Arthur said.
"That's impossible! We have to search for locations, scenarios, clothes, and many other things!" Arabella, the Production Assistant, reasoned.
After all, it was he job to do these things and she knew it would take time seeing the number of scenes in the music video.
"I know. But Ayia said it is our deadline and it is the final decision. But she also said that if we do a good job in this production, Moonlight will hire us to shoot the other music videos from his album." Arthur informed them of what Ayia told him yesterday.
At first, when he heard about the short deadline, he was doubtful if they could make it.
But when he heard that they could be hired to shoot the other music videos, he was filled with determination to best music video of his life.
"Guys, we have to grab this chance! I already started searching for things yesterday when Arthur told me. I think we can do it." Kanna said with a determined voice.
As Arthur's girlfriend, she got the news as soon as he finished the call with Ayia.
The crew had their blood boiling when they heard that.
They thought this chance was a one-time thing, they did not expect that Moonlight would offer them a chance to produce his other music videos.
"Let's do this!" Obara exclaimed.
"I'm in!" Buddy said excitedly.
"Me too!" Kaytlin chimed in with shining eyes.
The others also quickly agreed, if before they wanted to produce something great.
Now they wanted to surpass their limits to produce something beyond great.
After everyone finished breakfast, they quickly exited the hostel and took the subway toward the Tulip Coffee Shop.
They arrived there at 8:16 am, but the casting would only start at 9 am.
So they ordered some coffee and sat down by the side to wait for the candidates.
"How about we use this coffee shop as one of the sets?" Nomura, the director of photography, asked as he looked around.
"Hmm, it can be done. The decorations here are nice and give a nice feeling." Arthur pondered as he also looked around.
"I can totally imagine two people meeting here and falling in love." Niwa declared with a thoughtful face.
They continued discussing several things about the production as they waited for the 9 am to arrive.
And they were absorbed in the discussion that they did not even notice two stunning girls entering the shop.
One had purple hair and the other black hair.
But they were both beautiful
Ayia arrived at the coffee shop accompanied by Shizuka, they would oversee the whole process.
It was only when the girls were near their table that Arthur noticed his two cousins.
"Ayia! Shizuka!" He exclaimed with a smile.
"Hey, Arthur!" Ayia replied with a smile.
"Hey, Arthur." Shizuka said calmly.
"You look so mature, Shizuka! And you are calm as ever I see." Arthur chuckled when he saw the girl.
"Obviously." Shizuka replied with her usual calm voice and serious face.
"Guys, you already know my cousin Ayia. And this is my cousin Shizuka." Arthur introduced her to his crew.
They greeted Shizuka with polite voices, they did not hear of her but they figured that if she was Ayia's sister, she must be important and intelligent too.
And they were right.
Ayia graduated from Rainbow Sakura College with a degree in Business Management and also from the Hamamoto Culinary College.
Hamamoto Culinary College was the most prestigious in the world, and every year renowned cooks graduate from this college. People from all around the world go to this college to become the best.
So, Ayia was able to get into the two best colleges in the world and get early graduation with honors from both of them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTherefore, it was clear to see her level of intelligence.
But that did not mean that Shizuka was less intelligent compared to Ayia.
Shizuka also was able to get into the Rainbow Sakura College, and she studied Business Management (as everyone from the Yamada is obligated to study) and also Computer Sciences.
Shizuka enjoyed playing with codes and software, so she decided to study that in college too.
After all, she was an expert hacker.
And she was able to get early graduation with honors in these two courses too!
Therefore, Shizuka was as intelligent as Ayia.
But Arthur did not get the news of that, as he was in a difficult time when the news was released to the rest of the family.
"So, what were you guys talking about?" Ayia asked as she and Shizuka took a seat.
"We were just talking about possible movie set locations to shoot here in Elffire City." Kanna replied.
"Hey, you two are currently living in Elffire City, right? Do you know any places?" Arthur asked when he remembered that the girls were living in this city.
"Hmm, it depends on what you are looking for in these locations." Ayia replied.
"Are there any places where couples usually go to date?" Nomura asked.
"There are the parks near Pedrarruna Forest. It is beautiful there with the flame sakuras all around. Even though most of them must have their leaves fallen because of the nearing winter, I think there are still some trees with leaves." Sakura replied after thinking for a while.
"There is also the city central square where all sorts of attractions perform during the weekends." Shizuka added.
"Oh, there is a stone bridge located in the old part of the city. I heard couples go there to admire the old architecture and the beautiful scenario of the river." Ayia chimed when she remembered the location.
Even though she was calm outside, she was embarrassed inside because she heard of this location when she searched for places in Elffire City to have a date.
It could not be helped, she wanted to go out on a date with Theo.
But she was not upset in waiting, after all, she still wanted to take things slowly.
The crew and the Yamadas discussed possible locations in Elffire City as the time of the casting arrived.
When the clock hit 9 am, the first candidate arrived.
But would they be able to find good actors?
