I was stunned when I saw who had arrived. I stared blankly at Kristy in front of me. "Why are you here?" Kristy was equally surprised. "Ryan, you're the male lead for this MV?" Listening to their conversation, the manager looked at us in confusion and asked, "Ryan, Kristy, you two know each other?" Before I could speak, Kristy interrupted, "Ryan and I are neighbors; we grew up together. I didn't expect to run into him for the MV shooting. It's such a coincidence." "That's right." I nodded. "Ah, I see. Well, that's a relief," the manager smiled. "Since you already know each other, this collaboration should go smoothly." "How did you end up in the entertainment industry?" I couldn't help but ask as I looked at Kristy. She gazed at me with admiration and said softly, "It's all because of you, Ryan. When I was staying abroad, I heard that you became an excellent actor. I envied you, and I want to be like you." "Kristy, the entertainment industry isn't as glamorous as it seems. It's actually quite tough, especially for female actors," I advised her kindly. "It's hard to establish yourself in this field." Kristy smiled sweetly. "Ryan, I know it's tough, but you're so outstanding. I don't want to fall behind. I want to shine in the entertainment industry like you do, too." After hearing Kristy's words, I didn't want to say anything more to discourage her, so I simply nodded. "My company arranged this MV shooting job for me, and I was worried I'd run into difficult co-actors, but I didn't expect to meet you, Ryan. I'll definitely learn a lot from you," Kristy said with an innocent expression. I curled my lips into a faint smile and said with a soft laugh, "You don't need to worry too much. Just act according to your own logic and instincts. I'll give you a heads-up when we need to coordinate on certain scenes." Kristy smiled, standing affectionately by my side. "That's great. I'm so lucky to have the chance to work with you. I'll definitely make the most of this opportunity." The manager walked over and handed us the scripts. "Ryan, Kristy. Here's the script for the shoot. Take a look. The plot is simple—it's a love song, and the key is to convey the intense emotions between the two characters."I read through the script seriously and got a rough sense of the characters' emotions. "How should I express these feelings? I'm afraid I might not do it well. Should I practice a few more times?" Kristy asked with an innocent expression "I can go over the script with you and rehearse a few times together. That way, you'll be able to capture the emotions more accurately," I said flatly. At this point, I saw Kristy as just a newcomer and was offering her guidance, nothing more. The manager stood quietly to the side, watching our interactions. I understood her wariness towards Kristy. After all, with my status, any young woman appearing around me could easily lead to rumors in the media, which would damage my image. Not to mention I already had Yura, my pregnant fiancée. But I saw Kristy as just an old neighbor, and I hoped she didn't have any other intentions. I had just taken on a new music video shoot in the morning, and by the afternoon, the company had already assigned the PR department to handle its marketing and promotion. To ensure the MV's release would be a success, the company launched a massive publicity campaign, even preparing to take promotional photos to attract fans' attention. "Ryan, Kristy, get ready. We're going to take a promotional photo first, and it'll be posted on Twitter," the manager informed us after receiving confirmation from the company. I nodded while rehearsing my lines. Kristy, curious, looked at me and asked, "Ryan, what's a promotional photo?" "Kind of like a publicity still," I explained briefly. Kristy's POV: Inside the studio, I had changed into my outfit, put on a delicate makeup look, and was eagerly waiting for the shoot to begin. I was thinking about how I could make Ryan and me seem closer. "Ryan, Kristy, let's start the shoot," the photographer called. "It's just a promotional photo, so don't be nervous. Keep your expressions and poses natural." It was my first time shooting promotional photos, and my expressions came out great. I linked my arm with Ryan's in an intimate, natural gesture, my face glowing with a sweet smile. "Great, let's change the pose for another shot," the photographer said, pleased with our intimate pose. I thought for a moment, then stood on tiptoe and wrapped my arms around Ryan's neck. My sudden move startled Ryan, and he seemed about to push me away. I immediately said, "Ryan, the manager asked me to pose like this." When Ryan heard this, he let me continue holding him. Of course, this was a lie. The manager wasn't even on set. I just wanted to take more intimate photos with him. After all, he was the reason I joined the entertainment industry. "All right, that's a wrap for today's shoot," the photographer said. He seemed satisfied with the shots and signaled that we could leave. Once the promotional photo was finalized, the company quickly posted it on Twitter. With Ryan's handsome looks and my beauty, we quickly became the talk of the town, even making it to the trending topics. The cold, handsome Ryan and the young, beautiful me shared strong on-screen chemistry, and fans even created hashtags about us. Hashtags like #LoveYouAgain and #ShippingKristyandRyanTogether were soon trending on Twitter. I couldn't help but feel pleased with my work. My initial goal of getting close to Ryan had already been achieved.
