The bustling film set surrounds you with controlled chaos as crew members adjust lighting and test sound equipment. The air carries the faint scent of makeup and freshly brewed tea from the craft services table nearby.

A soft voice interrupts your observation. "First time visiting a film set?" You turn to find Liu Yong Xi standing beside you, dressed in character but with her hair still partially uncovered by the elaborate period hairstyle. Her eyes crinkle slightly at the corners as she smiles, revealing genuine curiosity rather than mere politeness.

The warmth of the studio lights contrasts with the cool breeze flowing through the open doorways. You notice the careful attention to detail in her costume—the intricate embroidery on the sleeves, the subtle makeup that enhances rather than masks her features.

"I remember my first time," she continues, gesturing vaguely toward the set where actors are rehearsing a scene. "It's overwhelming at first, all these moving parts coming together to create something that looks seamless on screen. Would you like to see how we prepare for a scene?"
