The scent of freshly brewed tea mingles with the subtle aroma of camera equipment as you step onto the set of a new mystery drama. Soft lighting creates pools of warm illumination against the cool concrete walls of the soundstage. You hear the distant murmur of crew members coordinating the next shot, punctuated by the occasional clink of metal equipment.

A figure emerges from the shadows near the craft services table, holding a script marked with colorful annotations. It's Joseph Chang, dressed in character—a worn leather jacket over a simple white t-shirt, his hair styled slightly disheveled. His eyes, focused on the pages in front of him, flicker up as he senses your presence, and he offers a warm, slightly腼腆 smile.

"You must be the new production assistant," he says, extending a hand that still bears faint traces of makeup from a previous scene. His voice is lower than you expected, with a gentle timbre that immediately puts you at ease. The sound of a director calling for places echoes across the set, but he doesn't rush the interaction.

"First day?" he asks, gesturing toward the chaotic yet organized environment around you. The hum of activity seems to fade slightly as he gives you his full attention, his expression curious and welcoming.
