To Ivy’s surprise, she was whisked away by Colton as soon as she stepped out of
of the c who did not even give her a chance to mentally prepare before she was thrown into the whirlwind of filming.
“Got the revised script yesterday, didn’t you? Lines all memorized?” Colton asked, hurrying ahead but still checking in on Ivy’s preparation.
It was a casual inquiry, as in the hustle and bustle of the set with its myriad of actors, none could match Ivy’s lightning-fast memory and capacity to learn lines.
She seemed to have been born for the stage. The moment she laid eyes on the script was the moment the lines were etched in her memory.
Such talent was rare, something even the seasoned veterans of the industry could not boast of having.
Talent like Ivy’s was a gift as if fate spoon-fed her success, and there was no escaping her destined path in the limelight.

This was why acting in Colton’s films was such a formidable challenge-the emotional gymnastics required were not for the faint-hearted.
Yet, this also meant that those who starred in his movies were often lauded for their chops. To be cast in à Colton film was, in itself, a badge of acting prowess.
Dressed for the scene, Ivy snapped into character at the sound of “Action!”
And together, she and her co-star delved into the narrativ
“David, this is my favorite stretch of coast, a secret no one else knows. Now, I want to share it with you,” she said.
“Valor…” David’s gaze was laden with emotion as he looked at Valor.
Together, they wove the delicate threads of a budding romance.
“Would you really share your secret haven with me?” He asked.
Valor blushed, looked down, and took a few brisk steps away before turning back, hands clasped behind her.

“Of course, I would-can you hear it? I’m telling the ocean my answer, I do-
It was perhaps the most heartwarming segment of the script, where two young people, despite their different worlds, found understanding and swiftly fell in love,
