My Hollywood System

Chapter 106:

Chapter 106:

After his talk with Jeffrey and finally deciding [Liberty City] to be his next movie, Will started focusing on writing the script.

Unlike his previous scripts where he had just written it due to the help of his system, creating an original script was harder and more time consuming.

Will had decided to complete the script in two months time and start the movie in the first quarter of 2012.

In the meantime, both [500 days of Summer] and [1917] would be released.

In the two of them, [1917] had already begun the pre-production and most of the roles had already been casted. Due to Will’s new found influence, they were able to get some famous actors in cameo roles and the construction of the set was also moving along at a brisk pace.

Lucas was also having acting workshops with both the leads and going by the progress report that Will had gotten, he was sure they would do very well.

As for [500 days of Summer], both Dream Vision and Carson were going over a list of actors and actresses to choose from.

They already have the female lead with Natalie and the male lead Tom needed to be a famous actor to garner some interest.

Without a famous male lead, the movie would take some time to pick up its pace at the box office. Will had decided to get a male lead from MCA to appease it as there were tensions growing between them.

It was due to how Robert had become famous.

People in Hollywood had inflated egos and it was not a myth but a fact. And Will had managed to hurt the ego of the senior executives of MCA.

If he was honest here, he had not done anything wrong.

Robert’s talent was wasted in MCA and he signed him after his contract had ended. There was nothing MCA could do legally.

But as Robert had become an A lister in a couple of months, MCA, who was seriously lacking big stars at the moment, felt like Will had backstabbed them.

After all, it was not wrong to say that they have given him his first break by buying his first script. With that money, he was able to make his first movie. Visitt for the latest updates

Maybe because of that or because of Uncle Ben still being a part of MCA, Will didn’t want their relationships to sour.

His relationship with ICM was already not good and although unstable, MCA was one of the big players in the agent market.

There were more benefits if they continued to be in mutual cooperation.

That’s why, he had himself tried to give them something to ensure that there’s no bad blood.

Otherwise, he could just get Ewan or Robert to play the role of Tom. Though, the role wasn’t well suited for both of them.

Playing the role of Tom would be a great inclusion in any actor’s filmography. The character was relatable and although it could be argued that he wasn’t really the nicest guy, he was a great character no matter how you look at it.

For the other roles like Tom’s younger half sister Rachel, Tom’s friends McKenzie and Paul and even Tom’s boss, Vance, he was going to take most of the actors from DTA.

At least Will was confident enough to already have planned an entire series on it.

Now, it was only time that was going to tell Terry if he was right or not.

As all this was going on, the secretary of Matthew Collins, The CEO of MCA knocked on his door.

“Sir, Senior Agent Benjamin Charles is here to see you.”

“Is it something important?”

Matthew raised his head from the pile of papers on his desk and asked. He had a lot of work today and didn’t have much time to meet anyone.

“He said it is something important.” The secretary replied.

“Then, send him in.”

Matthew sighed and glanced at the screen of his computer. Tired eyes looked back to him and he felt like the wrinkles on his face were just increasing.

He was not that old, only 53 this year and had a lot of years left as a CEO but handling MCA with an unstable management had made him do overwork. At the same time, most of their famous stars moved over to other agencies and they never improved since then.

Matthew still remembered the good old days when they were ruling Hollywood and every studio needed to cater to him for his actors to work in their movies.

Now, everything was gone.

“I didn’t disturb you, right.”

As he was thinking about all that, Uncle Ben walked in, holding a file in his hands.

“It’s fine, Ben. Just make it quick.”

Matthew said coldly and Uncle Ben took a seat. Despite knowing each other for a long time, their relationship was pretty stern.

“Take a look at this. A studio wants an actor to be the lead of their next movie.”

A frown appeared on Matthew’s face as he heard that. This was not something that would require a meeting with him.

“Then, just give them one of your actors. Why are you even asking me?”

“That studio is Dream Vision.”

“Ah, so the movie is...”

Realisation was apparent in his voice and Uncle Ben nodded.

“Yeah, it’s one of the movies Will is producing.”
