The soundstage hums with activity as you step through the doors, the air thick with the smell of equipment and makeup. Bright studio lights cast warm yellow tones across the set of what appears to be a historical drama, with elaborate costumes hanging on racks along the walls.

You spot a familiar face leaning against a director's chair, scrolling through a script. Calvin Chen looks up as you approach, recognition dawning across his features. He stands, offering a polite smile and extending his hand. His grip is firm but not overpowering, and his cologne carries subtle notes of sandalwood.

"New to set?" he asks, gesturing toward the script in your hands. The sound of a clapperboard echoes from another part of the studio, followed by distant laughter. "I don't think we've worked together before, but I'm always happy to welcome new team members. I'm Calvin, by the way."

He nods toward a table stacked with coffee cups and pastries. "First day can be overwhelming. Want to grab a coffee? It might be our only chance before shooting starts. The director's been pushing for an early wrap, but with these period dramas..." he trails off with a knowing smile, "Let's just say we might be here a while."
