Sunday, November 29th
The last days of November arrived, and signs of snow could already be seen in the skies.
The winter was coming.
But cold weather could not damper the mood of some people in the city.
Arthur and his crew woke up early that day.
They were excited about this day because it would be the day that they would start the production!
After having a lengthy discussion until evening the day before, they went to scout a possible location to shoot some scenes for the video.
And they indeed found the location to be perfect for some scenes.
Eldarion Plaza was a famous location in Elffire City.
The ten visitors from another city were impressed by the beauty of the place.
And there were so many things that couples could do there.
They were capable to picture a couple having their first date in this plaza.
They scouted all possible places to shoot in the plaza before going back to their hostel late at night.
Even though they slept for not long, all of them had lively faces as they showed up for breakfast.
"Good morning, guys!" Arthur greeted them with a smile as he took a seat.
"Good morning!" Kanna also greeted them.
"Hey, Art, Kanna!"
"Good morning, boss!"
"I see you slept well, big boss!"
All sorts of replies came from them.
Arthur could feel that everyone was bursting with excitement.
But he understood what they felt.
After all, he was feeling the same excitement!
The crew talked excitedly about their day as they had breakfast.
They were almost finishing eating when Arthur felt his phone ringing.
He picked it up and saw Ayia's name on the display.
Arthur stood up and went to the side before replying, "Hello?"
The rest of them were curious as they saw that.
"Arthur? Are you guys ready?" Ayia's playful voice came from the phone.
"Ready for what?" Arthur asked in confusion.
"It's better for you to see for yourselves. Come outside your hostel." Ayia replied mysteriously.
"Okay, we will get there in a moment." He said before hanging up.
"Who was it?" Kanna asked curiously.
"It was Ayia. She wants us to go outside." Arthur replied with an intrigued face.
"What for?" Buddy asked.
"I have no idea, but come on! Let's see what's this about!" Arthur exclaimed with a smile.
They stood up immediately and followed him.
They were too curious to see why Ayia came to their hostel so early in the morning.
When they arrived outside, they did not see anything out of the ordinary.
They only saw a mini truck parked in front of the hostel.
But it was then that they heard the mini truck's horn.
"Did you like it?" Ayia asked with a smile as she exited the cabin of the truck.
Shizuka also followed her out of the cabin.
The whole crew was shocked when they saw this scene.
First, it was the impactful view of two beautiful women getting out of the truck.
And second, they could not understand what was happening.
"What's that for?" Arthur managed to ask.
"This is for you guys! I know you guys will move a lot through the city to shoot the scenes, so I rented this truck to be your transportation." Ayia replied with a small smile.
"But this is not a normal truck. Come with me." Ayia said with a playful voice as she walked to the back of the truck.
They followed her without thinking.
Ayia and Shizuka arrived there and the two girls opened the back door of the truck.
And when the crew saw what was in there, they became even more amazed.
All types of shining equipment were inside the truck.
Cameras, lenses, filters, tripods, quadpods, drones, camera lights, three-point lighting kits, light reflectors, and many other types of filming equipment.
Everything was new and shiny.
They worked in shooting all types of productions, so they knew the price of these pieces of equipment.
They were tens of thousands of dollars.
And by the quality of the types of equipment they were seeing, they estimated that the cost of these already entered the six-digit figure.
For people like them, who only worked with cheap equipment before, they were frozen in shock.
Even though they expected something expensive, they never expected something like this when Ayia said that the budget was not limited.
"I assume you liked it." Ayia giggled when she saw their shocked faces.
Ayia was having fun looking at their faces.
"That's amazing!" Someone finally said.
"Oh my god! Someone slap me to see if I'm still... AARGH!! Why did you slap me?"
"Well, you said to slap you. So I took your request as an order, you can thank me later."
"Damn you!"
"Stop bickering!"
"Did you see those lenses?"
The crew exploded with excited voices.
Ayia laughed hard as she saw their interaction.
"Thank you, Ayia-san!" Kanna said suddenly.
"Yes, thank you, Ayia-san!"
The others started to say thankful words to Ayia too.
But Ayia just laughed lightly.
"You can thank me by producing something amazing with this!" She smiled lightly.
"You just have to take care of these things well. As you may know, they are not cheap. Even if I'm just renting them." Ayia added.
The crew nodded in understanding, they would be more careful than when someone was holding a baby.
After all, they did not have the money to pay for repairs if they broke these things.
"Are you guys ready to go out? I will take you to the place I told you yesterday." Ayia asked when she saw everyone talking.
"I need to get my bag first!" Kate exclaimed as she ran inside the hostel.
The others also had to take some things inside, so they asked Ayia and Shizuka to wait for a little bit.
A while later, the ten members of the crew walked out of the hostel.
"Hop in!" Ayia exclaimed from the cabin of the truck.
She would drive the truck.
Ayia could drive a sports car, why couldn't she drive trucks too?
It was the same thing, right?
The crew entered the back of the truck with excited faces.
The last few days were crazy for them.
They took the bet to go to another city to follow their dreams.
And when they arrived, they saw that this chance was everything they were hoping for and more!
They felt like everything was a dream.
Ayia drove the truck through the crowded streets of Elffire City, as the crew had a thoughtful look throughout the journey.
A determination to give all their efforts to produce the best music video was born inside their minds.
A while later, Ayia parked the truck in the parking lot of a six-story building.
She motioned them to follow her as she locked the truck.
They followed her with a renewed determination.
It took two trips by elevator for all of them to arrive at the third floor of the building.
Ayia guided them towards a door before she opened it.
When they got inside, they saw another amazing sight.
Computers, printers, whiteboards, and many other things could be seen in the loft.
"This will be where you coordinate the operations. Here you can discuss the production, search for locations, edit, or anything you want." Ayia declared with a satisfied smile.
It was not difficult for her and Shizuka to pull these things in so little time.
They just had to call the right people, and a truck with late-generation film equipment and an apartment for the production of videos were given freely to them.
But as Ayia respected Theo's decision to pay for these things, she paid for all these things.
She did not want to break her promise to him, even though she was willing to pay for these things for him.
The crew was delighted as they thought of the many possibilities of this place.
They finally could start the production of the music video!
Would they be able to meet Theo's expectations?
