Ming Jiayi took out two copies of the contract from her bag and handed them to Mo Xing. "I've already signed it. Take a look, and we can make changes immediately if there are any problems."

Mo Xing hastily flipped through the contract, glanced at it a few times, then picked up a black pen from the table and signed her name on the last page of the contract.

"It's signed."

"Aren't you going to take a serious look?" Ming Jiayi asked Mo Xing seriously.

Signing a contract so hastily is not a good personality trait.

"No need, I trust you. You saved my idol and even let me be your assistant. I think you're a good person," Mo Xing said with a silly grin.

“I don’t accept the ‘nice guy’ card. Do you have anything to do later? Are you starting work from now on or do you want to wait until tomorrow?” Ming Jiayi asked.

Mo Xing said cheerfully and energetically, "I can start in a little while!"

…

Ming Jiayi led Mo Xing back to the conference room. The director and screenwriter had already assigned the roles, and Ming Jiayi then followed them to the assembly room.

"Everyone look here. Everyone from Group 3, come with me to Studio 3 to prepare for filming," the director shouted to his men.

"Okay." The staff and the new generation of actors agreed in unison.

The director, along with the assistant director and screenwriter, walked in front, while Ming Jiayi, Mo Xing, and other up-and-coming actors followed behind. The staff quickly ran over to prepare.

"Assistant director, is the classroom scene set up?"

"It's all set up. Now we're going to film the 4-person group and the 3-person group number 2 first, right?"

"Yes, I haven't assigned the roles to them yet. Send them the scripts in a bit, tell them their roles, and tell them to memorize their lines while they're getting their makeup done."

"Can they memorize it in such a short time?" the assistant director asked with some concern.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that. The director is pushing us hard, and we need to finish filming in the shortest possible time."

The assistant director glanced at Gu Shaonan, then lowered his voice and said...

"What if that young master Gu has something to say later? Why did this difficult guy have to be drawn into our group?"

The director also glanced back at Gu Shaonan, then said with a somewhat troubled expression,

"It's okay, don't worry about him. If he has any objections, we'll talk about it later. At worst, we can just cut all his scenes to the end and film them later."

Inside shed No. 3

Staff, set design, cameras, and everything else are all ready.

The assistant director distributed the pre-printed scripts to each actor.

Afterwards, the actors consciously went to the makeup table to wait for the makeup artist to do their makeup. At the same time, they opened their scripts and silently memorized their lines.

Ming Jiayi found an empty seat and sat down. Mo Xing didn't know what an assistant's job entailed, so she moved a small stool and sat next to Ming Jiayi, quietly watching her.

Ming Jiayi flipped through the script casually; her lines weren't many, totaling less than a page.

For her, who was used to memorizing medical books, it was incredibly easy; she could memorize them perfectly after just a few readings.

Her scenes are in the first group of four, which means her filming is last, and it's uncertain whether she'll even get a turn to film today.

Ming Jiayi handed the script to Mo Xing, then stood up and wandered around.

"Miao Ran'er?" Ming Jiayi asked softly from behind Miao Ran'er.

Miao Ran'er habitually looked up at the mirror, then quickly turned back to greet Ming Jiayi.

"Sister Jiayi, Sister Jiayi, it's me, it's me! I didn't expect you to remember my name, hahaha."

"Of course I remember. Which group were you in?" Ming Jiayi asked with a smile, her hands on her chair.

"I'm in the group of three, I'll be filming in a bit," Miao Ran'er replied with a smile to Ming Jiayi.

"Where are the makeup artists?" Ming Jiayi looked around and saw that there seemed to be only two makeup artists, each doing makeup for one of the two boys.

"I don't know either, I'm memorizing the script right now," Miao Ran'er said earnestly, though with a hint of grievance.

Ming Jiayi took three quick steps forward, then picked up the sunscreen from the table, turned to look at Miao Ran'er, and said, "Let me help you apply it."

"Ah... Sister Jiayi. This, this isn't appropriate." Miao Ran'er looked at Ming Jiayi somewhat awkwardly.

Aren't the makeup and styling all planned out in the film crew?

If Ming Jiayi's makeup doesn't match the director's vision, won't she have to remove the makeup again?

Moreover, this back and forth will waste a lot of time, and when the director blames her, she can't just shift the blame onto Ming Jiayi, can she?

"It's okay, I do my own makeup all the time, you trust my skills, right?"

Ming Jiayi didn't think about those things. She just felt that this would help the makeup artist reduce some of her workload and speed up the shooting process, so why not?

"Sister Jiayi, I believe in you, but if you do my makeup, I won't be able to concentrate on memorizing my lines..." Miao Ran'er said jokingly.

Ming Jiayi smiled and shook her head, as if she understood something, but also as if she understood nothing at all.

Her expression made Miao Ran'er freeze awkwardly in her seat.

Miao Ran'er thought that Ming Jiayi had seen through her little scheme, and her heart was filled with panic.

"Alright, then let the makeup artist do your makeup. I'll go check on the director." Ming Jiayi said with a sweet and lovely smile.

Her face looks quite harmless.

But Miao Ran'er got angry when she saw Ming Jiayi's expression.

She always felt that Ming Jiayi's claim of going to see the director was a pretext to tattle on him and say bad things...

"No, no, no, Sister Jiayi, why don't you do my makeup? I've actually memorized most of my lines, but I just want to practice them a little more."

Ming Jiayi laughed happily, then picked up the sunscreen again, squeezed some out and applied it to Miao Ran'er's face.

"Is this your first time participating in a filming?" Ming Jiayi asked while moving her hands and mouth.

"This is my first time filming on set, but I've made some short videos with friends before."

"Oh, so you were approached by the production team because you posted videos online, right?"

"Yes, my videos are getting a little bit of popularity, and the person I'm paired with has been chosen," Miao Ran'er said with some pride.

"Are your videos available on every platform?" Ming Jiayi asked earnestly.

“Yes, that’s right. My partner’s name is Jiao Chun, and our platform username is Jiao Miao. We use this on every platform,” Miao Ran’er recommended earnestly.

“I’ve already swiped your account!” Ming Jiayi stopped what she was doing and took her phone out of her pants pocket.

She quickly operated the phone and then handed it to Miao Ran'er.

"Look, I even liked it. I thought your storyline was really interesting."
