" Hurry, hurry up! We are starting to shoot in 10 minutes!" Director Li instructed crew.
" Sir, what about our other lead? Apart from Xue Rong, we have another main character but we don't even know him! Can you tell us now? " Cameraman Jin Xuan asked him.
" He will come at 3:30. Right now, we are going to shoot Xue Rong and Wang Li's scene. Just focus on it." Director Li left after that to inspect other preparations.
" Jane, we are shooting first scene in 10 minutes. Stay right beside me. In this scene, Xie Lian (Xue Rong) and Ling Wen ( Wang Li) will fight with each other. Keep your watch on everything. HEY..! Why are you putting that flowers there? Remove them. Hurry up guys, where are our leads? Someone ask them to come out!!"
Director Li was totally busy in handling things. Around 2, they took lunch brake. Jane was little tired, but she really enjoyed this all process.
" Hi sis, you did good job!" Suddenly Chen Jun sat next to her and took a bread from table.
" When did you come? You don't have any scenes for next few days..." Jane was confused after seeing him.
" Yes, but I wanted to see how others act in drama and what I'm supposed to do. I never worked before, so I have to get some experience first." Chen Jun explained his purpose.
" You are working hard. Good. Eat this, this meat is very tasty." Jane offered him some food.
" Thank you sis. What is next scene about?" He asked her while chewing that piece.
" Identity of Xie Lian and Ling Wen exposed to one another. They found that they fought with each other and their common enemy escaped because of that." Jane explained him.
" Ohh, and here comes other lead character, Pei Xue, right? But who is going to act as Pei Xue? Do you know that?" Chen Jun asked Jane.
" Nope, director Li even concealed his identity from Sean and Wang Li ! I think he will tell us after dinner. Just eat for now. Take this, it's also very yummy. " Jane was taking care of him as her little brother.
Xue Rong, who was sitting little further, looked at this scene. Today, Jane only talked to him about work and they both were busy in shooting. He was little relaxed after seeing that Jane was not pestering him all time and she was good to her juniors.
" I'm done with my lunch. Everybody, gather in main hall at 2:45. I'm going to announce something very important." Director Li left to his office after that.
" He will tell us about other Lead actor, right? Rong gege, do you know who is it?" One of the crew member asked him.
" No, director Li did not told anyone about this. We'll know after sometime. If you all done with your lunch, let's go there. I ordered some ice-creams for all. Assistant Fu will deliver it there."
" Ohh wow!! Thank you so much Rong gege!! Lets go now!" That crew member spoke and others also thanked him and walked towards hall. After eating ice-creams, they talked for few minutes. Director Li came on given time and all crew stopped talking.
" As a marketing strategy, sponsors and I decided to keep the identity of other lead character secret before release of first episode. Even in trailers, he will not appear. So, you all have to sign a non-disclosure agreement. You are not allowed to disclose his identity to anyone, not even family or friends. If from the photos that you upload on social media, his identity got revealed, 50% payment will get cut off. If you deliberately revealed it to anyone, you'll be fired and I'll have right to sue you for it. You'll have to pay 10,000 dollars as damage fee. I think I've made clear about seriousness of this matter, so everybody will have to cope with it."
