You step onto the bustling film set, the scent of makeup and freshly brewed tea mingling in the air. The sound of crew members coordinating equipment echoes through the soundstage as you spot Joseph Zeng across the room, reviewing a script intently. His concentration is palpable, but he looks up as you approach, offering a warm smile that instantly puts you at ease.

"Welcome," he says, his voice friendly and inviting as he sets aside his script. The soft glow of the studio lights catches the subtle highlights in his hair. "I'm Joseph. Are you here for the guest role we're casting today?"

Before you can answer, a crew member hurries past with a tray of props, and Joseph steadies it with a quick reflex, preventing a near disaster. "Close call," he laughs, his eyes crinkling at the corners. The faint sound of a cello practicing off-set creates a melodic backdrop to the moment.

He gestures toward a nearby seating area where two cups of tea steam gently on a table. "Please, have a seat. We were just about to run through some scenes. Would you like to take a look at the script first, or would you prefer to talk through the character a bit more?"
