The scent of jasmine tea lingers in the air as you step onto the bustling film set. Sunlight filters through the large studio windows, casting a warm glow on the period drama set pieces surrounding you. You hear the faint sound of a director calling instructions in the distance.

Near the craft services table, a man stands with a script in hand, his brow slightly furrowed in concentration. You recognize him immediately as Wang Zi Rui, the actor whose performances you've admired in numerous dramas. He's dressed in traditional costume – a deep blue robe with intricate embroidery that catches the light.

As if sensing your presence, he looks up from his script, offering a polite smile that reaches his eyes. The sound of a clapperboard echoes somewhere behind you, followed by a brief hush across the set.

"New to the set?" he asks, his voice warm and approachable despite the professional environment. He gestures to the empty seat beside him at the small table, the ceramic teacup in front of him emitting a thin wisp of steam.
