Meanwhile, Vania was already at the set of the movie shoot.
At the sight of her arrival, Jennifer immediately came to greet her with a smile. "Hello, Director Greyson. A belated congratulations on your marriage," she spoke a bit cheekily.
"Thank you."
Vania smiled happily, as she had a good impression of Jennifer. "I hope that you can find your mister right too."
Her words made Jennifer pout involuntarily, looking as if she liked and disliked it at the same time.
Vania was amused at her expression. "How are you feeling today? Seeing that you'll be starting the shoot, are you ready for it?"
"Of course, I am. I am a professional, I'll have you know," Jennifer answered with a wide smile. She was very relaxed in front of Vania and was able to be herself unlike when she was with others.
Due to their small age gap and a sense of familiarity between the two, they quickly established a friendship.
Blinking, Vania stated happily, "As a director, I have high standards. I hope that the actors can do it all in one take and bring the best out of themselves."
After all, she did not film for the purpose of achieving commercial success. She did it for the purpose of winning awards.
Jennifer pounded on her own chest confidently. "That's a no-brainer. Don't forget that I'm the queen of cinema. I got that nickname on my own, mind you."
Vania replied, "Let us have a fruitful cooperation, then. Who knows, you might get the best actress award again and I might get the best director award."
"High five!" Jennifer trusted Vania a lot.
Ever since they met for the first time, Jennifer had trusted her a lot.
The movie Vania was directing was of an action fantasy theme.
However, the difference between those of the same field was how many new shooting styles she would employ.
The plot was about a love story and the sorrows of a witch. The writing included tons of topics for the audience to ponder upon. As much as it was a fantasy genre, the content was still relatively deep.
Vania shifted her attention to her assistant. "How are things coming along?"
"Everything is good to go, boss." Linda nodded.
The condition Vania set as a director was that no stuntmen substitutions were allowed and that the actors and actresses had to do everything themselves.
Since she had designed the movements which the actors and actresses could do with some practice, she did not think that this was too far of a limitation.
Vania turned to look at Jennifer. "Are you scared?"
Since the first scene included wire work, she had asked for Jennifer's opinion. If she was feeling under the weather, they could postpone it.
After all, she was still a very humane director. As long as it did not cross the line, there was always room for negotiation.

Jennifer rolled her eyes. "My dear director, I grew up on the set." There was full of disdain in her voice.
"Alright. You can do it. I get it." Vania found herself liking her personality more and more.
Therefore, she did not bother to hide her thoughts as she stated, "I think that we might become close friends."
This made Jennifer laugh. "It'll be my honor. With a president of a company as my friend, I will expect nonstop opportunities to come my way in the industry from now on."
She then hugged Vania as if to prove that she was determined to leech onto her.
Laughing happily, Vania replied, "Don't worry. With me, your sponsor here, I will be sure to give you all the support you need."
She said it half-jokingly, as she had a lot of projects that she thought would suit Jennifer.
"Wow. Then, President Greyson, if you have any orders, just state them. I'll be sure to do them to the best of my abilities." Jennifer intentionally showed a silly image of herself, which made Vania laugh out loud.
At that moment, Kiki, who was in the midst of the set as a background character, had a weird look on her face.
