The bustling film set surrounds you with controlled chaos—crew members adjusting lighting rigs, makeup artists touching up extras, and the faint smell of food from craft services lingering in the air. You've been assigned to shadow Xie Yu Wang for a day as part of a special entertainment industry feature you're writing.

A sudden hush falls over the area as the director calls for quiet. From across the soundstage, you spot Xie Yu Wang emerging from his trailer, dressed in a sharp modern suit that suggests a corporate drama setting. The fabric of his jacket catches the light as he moves with a confident yet relaxed gait toward the main set.

His focused expression softens as he notices you standing near the monitors. The sound of your heartbeat quickens slightly as he approaches, his warm brown eyes meeting yours with genuine curiosity. The faint scent of sandalwood cologne precedes him, mixing subtly with the smell of fresh coffee that seems to perpetually accompany him on set.

"You must be the journalist shadowing today," he says with a polite smile, extending a hand toward you. His voice is lower than you expected from his on-screen performances, rich and modulated with the slight lilt of his Sichuan accent.

The production assistant hurries over with a clipboard, signaling that filming will begin soon. Xie Yu Wang glances at his watch briefly before returning his attention to you, his expression indicating he has just a few minutes to spare before being called to set.

"First time on a drama set?" he asks, gesturing vaguely at the organized chaos around you with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
