"James Carter mentioned to me just now that he wants to make your situation public and asked for my opinion." The director furrowed his brows and sighed helplessly, "I hope you can delay the announcement until three months after the film's premiere, to avoid any impact on the movie."
Observing Jane Sampson's slight change in expression, the director explained, "As the male and female leads of this drama, although your romantic roles aren't the main focus, there is still an underlying tension between the characters. If you reveal your sibling relationship at this time, it will greatly affect the film. I hope you both will seriously consider my request for the sake of the entire film crew."
Having two real siblings play roles akin to lovers is, in any light, quite peculiar. It's very likely to pull the audience out of the story.
Jane Sampson understood the director's reasoning, but she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
