The day of the first shoot for 'The Golden Sword came' Stella exited the car with Tracy following her.
Stella walked into the studio... To be met with utter silence.
'Hmm, this is some deja vu isn't it?' She thought as she put on her killer smile.
All of the women were stunned to silence. 'Where had this Greek god came from? Why had the never seen him before?'
"M... Zhou. You did get a role." Rin was the first to snap away from the shock.
Upon seeing the popular FL running up to this man and seeing they knew each other... A firey emotion of jealousy filled the women's eyes.
"See? This Master is able to get a role just fine, are you satisfied with what was delivered, my lady?" Stella asked with a gentle smile.
'Impossible, how could a man look so dreamy?' Rin was stunned into a stupor as the other actresses and staff looked with burning envy.
*Cough* "Mmm, I didn't expect this." Rin said meekly.
"Oh! You've arrived. People get ready for scene 4!" Gozou was having a burning passion right now, he couldn't wait to see Stella act...
"Try to not make many scandals," Tracy said in a low voice for what seemed to be the hundredth time today.
"Haha, don't worry. This Master knows what he is doing." Stella said with a light chuckle as she walked to the changing rooms.
The makeup artist looked at the man sitting in front of the mirror... "Z-Zhou. I don't think I can improve anything." She said with total awe.
The man just was ridiculous! He was essentially perfect for what the movie needed and his hair only needed a touch-up... "That's fine. Thanks for your hard work." Stella chuckled, earning the blush of the makeup artist.
Stella had her wig slightly changed and then got dressed. Tracy realized from the photoshoot that Stella didn't like to have help getting dressed... It was one less worry for her.
Stella came out wearing a light leather tunic and some chainmail. His face looked far too good looking for the type of person he would become in the story...
"It doesn't look right."
"Yeah, isn't the SML meant to be more menacing? He looks rather clean."
Some of the jealous men couldn't help but comment. A man's pride was hurt when standing beside such a godly presence!
Gozou seemed to have noticed the comments and looked at Stella with some thought. "Mmm, Zhou do you think you can pull off the character like that?" He asked in curiosity.
He didn't want to use the actors and actresses looks to get people to watch the film... But Stella was so godly looking it would be a waste if he couldn't use it...
"No problem." Stella said with a lazy smile, earning Rin's ear to flare up.
*Cough* "B-Brother Zhou... H-How does it look?" Rin asked bashfully.
'Brother Zhou? I never thought I would be called that.' Stella thought with amusement flashing in her eyes.
"My lady, you look great." She said with a stunning smile.
She really did, Rin had a good appearance and was suited to be a more damsel in distress character. However, the story would become darker in the later parts. Hence the clothing was something crucial to the story.
Rin was wearing a fairly 'free' outfit. The FL starts pretty innocently with the SML being around her in her teenage years. Then the ML takes her heart and she becomes more mature. Then when the final battle commences, she is a hard and steely general. The clothing was also representing her growth.
The film was a massive longshot to if it would be liked. Having such long gaps could be catastrophic. It helped that there was an option for multiple films to show the growth, yet this was something Mou had decided to change when he invested...
Now it was crucial to get the right feeling. Growth was a massive part of the story.
"Alright, people. Get into position." Gozou said as he prepared himself.
The first couple of scenes didn't require Stella so she just watched from the side. As some of the less important scenes were done. The next was the first time the SML was introduced to the story.
This would require Stella to have a sense of falling in love at first sight, also keeping a youthful outlook on the world...
"Action!"
Stella looked at the town, it was bustling with life. The people were happy that a new successor to the Golden Sword was found. He went to the market and his eyes widened as he stood completely dumbfounded.
The woman had a smile on her face. Making her dimples show. While she also had a carefree attitude of a high-society younger woman. She was dressed in clothes that made her look innocent and endearing. She looked kind, smart... She was perfect.
The staff just watched with amazement, this man had gotten the SML for a reason! He was the hardest to play but it all looked so natural to him. The staff and other actors and actresses started to feel they were there with him.
Tracy watched with a smile. Indeed this man was something special. She started to wonder if he was purposefully groomed to be the next big thing at Guillard Entertainment... Who knows?
Gozou was so entranced by the acting he didn't say cut. He felt like he was captured inside the scene. The scene of a young man falling in love at first sight.
*Cough* A cough brought him out of his stupor. "Cut!" He called as Stella instantly returned to how she normally is.
Rin was a bit dazzled, she didn't feel like she was the one acting... It was like her emotions were doing it for her...
"Well done my lady. You played the part extremely well." Stella said with a lean against the wall.
Rin blushed as she tried to move her head away. "I-It's nothing, I didn't know you were this good at acting!" She said with excitement and a certain amount of desire in her eyes.
"Haha, this Master can do what he wishes. Come, let's go and eat." Stella invited her with a chuckle.
Tracy felt like killing the man! 'Didn't I say to not make a scandal!?' She just felt her presence waste away as she now fully understood the Second Master's feeling on the man.
Rin's eyes lit like a fire on the invitation. *Cough* "If Brother Zhou is asking, then I have no reason to decline." And there it was born, the massive line of females asking for them to join at lunch too...
