The next dayās filming went as smoothly as James Carter had anticipated; the weather was perfect. When the sun was setting, its beauty resembled an oil painting. The photographer from James Carterās Studio showed Jane Sampson the playback, and even Jane couldnāt help but gasp in admiration repeatedly.
"Just now, I took a few photos of Miss Sampton, and they turned out very beautiful. Once they are post-processed, Iāll have Mr. Carter send them to you," the photographer said. This was the second time he worked with Jane Sampson. Her professionalism made his job much easier, so much so that he had the time to capture a few candid shots of her during the filming.
"Sure, thank you so much, thatās very kind of you!" Jane expressed her gratitude, then lowered her head to continue reviewing the playback shown by the photographer until she was brought back to her senses by the sound of her ringing mobile phone that James Carter was holding.
"Take the call first. After the call, remove your makeup, and weāll join John Young. He has already arrived at the airport," James Carter said gently, "Your agent should have told you, right? The next time we meet will be at the premiere of John Youngās movie."
Sister Tin had told her, and Jane nodded excitedly. The caller happened to be the very person she had mentioned just now, Rock Bell.
Jane answered the call as she made her way to the restroom.
"Have you finished your work in Springtown? Your new assistant has been found, her name is Coco Edwards. When you come back tomorrow, take a moment to meet her. If you think thereās no problem, let her join you and go directly to the film crew the day after. Iāll call Elizabeth King later and tell her to fly back to the company alone; weāll arrange other work for her there."
"I wonāt have time to go to the company in the next couple of days, Sister Tin, could you take a look for me? If you think Coco is alright, then let her wait for me at the airport tomorrow morning so we can enter the filming set together. If itās too much of a rush, then thereās no need to hurry. Anyway, Iāll be on set recently and thereās not much need for an assistant, so we can continue searching slowly." Jane wasnāt in a rush to get an assistant at all.
She had been spending all her time in the village lately and truly didnāt have a need for an assistant to run errands for her, unlike some other actors who always sent their assistants to the city district or county town to shop for various things.
"Alright, then Iāll have another look for you," Rock Bell agreed, "Youāve had a lot of work recently; make sure you take good care of yourself and donāt wear yourself out."
"Donāt worry, Sister Tin, Iām actually pretty healthy," Jane said cheerily, "Especially since Iāve started filming out here, I feel like Iāve even been getting some exercise."
"Thatās good. Let me tell you about your upcoming work arrangements," Rock Bell opened the notebook on hand and continued, "After finishing the work in Springtown, youāll be back on set filming for 12 more days. After leaving the set, youāll only have two days of rest before starting work on āIām Not a Celebrity.ā The filming for the first period will last one week."
Rock Bell paused, her voice laced with laughter, "After that shooting wraps up, you have an endorsement ad for JK brand, with you, Mandy Forest, and Lotus each endorsing JKās offline cosmetics, clothing, and bags, respectively. This is a new endorsement strategy set by JK for the year. Youāll be handling the JK cosmetics. Once the endorsement ad is over, youāll head to Smytheton to attend the premiere of John Youngās movie as an honored guest and perform the theme song with James Carter on the scene."
"An endorsement for JK? How did that come about all of a sudden?" Jane was genuinely surprised; she was a newcomer, and yet she managed to secure the role of a spokesperson for JKās cosmetics for the new year?
