After sitting in the car for six hours, the film crew arrived at the small town and quickly settled into a local five-star hotel. Upon discovering it was a five-star hotel where they'd be staying for a month, everyone screamed with excitement, wishing they could throw themselves at the director, Theodore Hughes.
Theodore Hughes also shed his usual gloom. He tied his long hair into a small braid, shaved his beard, and radiated an aura of renewed confidence.
Delphine distinctly noticed Theodore treating her with special favor. The best suite was reserved for her and Sister Zhao, the food catered to her preferred tastes, and his words to her were unusually courteous.
However, Delphine paid no attention to these changes, immersing herself entirely in the filming of the movie.
The opening scene of the movie portrayed a sunset as crimson as blood. An old, cramped residential building. A fifteen-year-old girl, Octavius, wearing a blue school uniform, carrying a backpack, opens the door.
