Therefore, Judy was skeptical about what Berry was proposing.
Could this really make money?
And more importantly...
"What if the two of them don't spark any chemistry? The resulting film might be stale. Then, forget about selling it—even editing and production would be a problem."
"Don't worry about that. I have high confidence in Jessica; she's an old hand. And you saw that Girl Veronica—she must be in some kind of trouble to end up working for us. Do you know what the problem with people in trouble is?"
Berry sat up straight, slowing her pace to emphasize her point.
"They expose their weaknesses, whether physical or psychological. To an old hand like Jessica, that's practically the same as being naked. She'll conquer her."
Having said that, Berry relaxed and leaned back into her chair.
Honestly, she wasn't confident in herself; she was confident in Jessica. Veronica wouldn't be able to handle that reckless scoundrel.
That's why Berry chose them as a pair... And so, Judy approached Jessica and Veronica with this contradictory mindset.
It was already the second day. In a room specially prepared within the Hive Tower, Judy, now acting as the General Director, stood before the two Girls.
"You two will be living here for the next week. Uh, these are braindance recording chips. Except during private time, you must connect these sensor chips to your personal systems. They will be the source of the footage."
"This entire week is filming time. You have to live and reside together."
"No, what do you mean by this? What does 'living together' mean? Just give us the script and let us get the job done."
To be honest, not only did Judy the director find this problematic, but the actresses did too.
Veronica, with her long purple waves, who had been restless and constantly touching her hair since entering the room, was the first to object.
"Uh, this is a new type of film for us."
Facing Veronica's challenge, Judy could only offer a strained explanation. After all, she didn't believe braindance films could be shot this way either.
"Hmm..."
Veronica gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Just when Judy thought she was about to storm out, she finally let out a long sigh and sat back down.
"Whatever. As long as I get paid, anything goes."
She turned her head away, remaining silent.
Today, Veronica was just as melancholy as she had been on the day of the audition; in fact, she appeared especially vulnerable today.
Her elaborate makeup was gone, replaced by a fresh, light application.
Only then did one realize that the quiet, speechless, statue-like beauty from that day was actually just a young Girl.
The purple-haired beauty grasped her own arm, looking down to the side. Her half-closed eyelids revealed a surrender to fate.
Seeing Veronica like this, Judy didn't know what to do.
"...I say, if we have to live here, does that include food and entertainment?"
Finally, the blonde Jessica spoke up to break the tension.
She, on the other hand, was full of optimistic spirit, acting completely at home, leaning against the headboard and already puffing away.
"Uh, yes, of course. We'll give you a budget for food, drink, and entertainment. The ground floor is even a bar. As long as you act together and cultivate some... you know, feelings."
Judy scratched her face as she said this.
If Berry hadn't specifically instructed her, she never would have told actresses shooting adult films to "cultivate feelings" together.
"Then there's no problem."
Jessica cheerfully stood up, took the recording chip from Judy's hand, and also grabbed Veronica's portion.
Judy sheepishly left the room.
