Chapter 114:

[ Hollywood has its own Judas, Will Evans backstabs MCA

MCA CEO, Matthew Collins made a statement in an interview speaking out against the recent deal made between Will Evans’ Dream Vision Studios and ICM.

In an interview made, on Monday during which MCA teased their latest entry into the Romantic Comedy Genre, with promises of reinventing the genre entirely, a reporter from the Tabloid Reuters questioned the Company’s CEO, Matthew Collins about ICM’s collaboration with Dream Vision and he had this to say “The MCA opened the door of opportunities for the boy. We gave him direction, we gave him the guidance necessary for this industry. We gave him the resources and he used us to make a name for himself. Then he goes and stabs us in the back. We’ve faced us, yes. But, the boy had no regard for his own family, his own uncle even, who gave him the motivation to start his work on [The Blaire Witch Project] and introduced him to Michael Elrod, our actor, for [Sherlock Holmes]. He met June Roberts on our set, used our money to make his company, and then spat on the hand that fed him.”

“While I am all for the boy, making bigger and better movies, he should have the common decency to not make backroom deals with our biggest rival. We assumed him to be a talented artist, looking to stand out on his own, but he turned out to be cut from the same cloth as Judas, or Brutus. But, its alright. We don’t mind, when he faces betrayal again, he will have to return to us either way, and we will be the last ones laughing.”

There have been confirmed reports of ongoing deals for projects between the ICM and Dream Vision, and it is safe to say, that the betrayal by Will Evans’ Dream Vision will leave a lasting impact on his future in Hollywood. Will his meteoric rise continue? Or will this be the start of the downward spiral for Hollywood’s brightest star?] – Tabloid Reuters

Will couldn’t help but laugh when he read that article, but Amanda didn’t find it amusing.

“Will! This tactic of theirs will severely damage the respect and image we’ve cultivated for us in the industry. It is no laughing matter!” She exclaimed.

Will took a moment to gain control of his amusement, and replied “It’s Hogwash, Amanda! You know that!”

“I do, Will, but the public doesn’t.” She pointed out.

“Well, Amanda, It doesn’t matter. Matthew Collins owns the controlling shares for this news agency, and going to court for defamation and libel will just add fuel to the flames, that he is trying to ignite. Yes, he’s trying to control the narrative, but at the end of the day, after the dust has settled, it is us who has the quality product for the public to enjoy.” He tried to allay her fears.

Sparrow’s trending page was filled with various hashtags about the drama that the MCA had tried to create.

There were various hashtags like #JudasEvans or #EtTuEvans; which were equally counterargued by sparrow users with hashtags of #HypocracyAtMCA or #NepotismIsMCA etc.

Will wasn’t much affected by the ongoing online debate, for he knew that it was bound to happen. His image wouldn’t have remained perfect forever, and he would have to weather many challenges in Hollywood. So, he had decided to remain quiet for the most part, and enjoy his retreat at his home in Beverly Hills, with June to keep him company and adequately occupied.

It was on one such day, almost three weeks after the MCA had released their article in the Tabloid Reuters, June had just left the bedroom a minute ago, to head to the kitchen and Will’s mind was drifting off to the various things that he had to accomplish in the day, when she came back in the room, with a newspaper in her hand.

“Will, you have to read this!” She exclaimed, as she helped him up and handed him the newspaper.

It was a copy of the Weekend Tribunal, he absently noticed as he read the headline, and Will knew what had her shocked, though he was anything but, as his efforts had borne fruit, as the article’s headline read.
