Iwan feels Dani is the best candidate for the lead role of his film. In Iwan's previous life, the original male lead in My Stupid Boss played a Bossman character who was 180 degrees from the original image. That's where the acting skills of the original My Stupid Boss male lead were recognized by film fans
Iwan wants to do the same in his current life. he wanted fans of the main cast of the film My Stupid Boss to be astonished by the 180-degree change in his image and people who were curious about the main cast after watching this film would be surprised to see the difference in the cast's image this is compared to the movies they have seen before.
Therefore Iwan considers this is a good opportunity for him. Dani who is declining his career because of his image that is just like that in the eyes of film fans, he is the right candidate to be the main character of the film.
"Mas Dani, I'm still interested in not making a movie?" asked Iwan to the point with a serious look
"No mas, as many people know that my career has declined. That's why I opened the cafe from the hard work of playing a movie," Dani replied as she shook her head, she thought Iwan might just be a big-screen movie fan
"I will introduce myself once again. My name is Iwan, I am making a comedy genre film that happens to be looking for a male lead. Mas interested in playing in my film?," asked Iwan with a serious expression
"Hahaha, kidding me? I've said if I'm not interested in playing a movie anymore, then what are you not afraid if the movie will fail because of me? people know that I'm an unlucky actor" said Dani laughed at his fate in the world of film
"Where would I say, that by playing the main character of my film mas Dani can change the image in the world of film?," said Iwan who did not give up and just smiled to see the response from Dani before
Dani immediately stopped laughing when she saw Iwan's meaningful smile and his gaze was very serious. To him, offers like this had already repeatedly come to him. Several times he received offers from the filmmaker, but his image in the world of film even continued to decline and made his career did not run smoothly.
Moreover, he never heard the name Iwan in the world of film, he considers Iwan is just a rich man's son who tried his luck in the entertainment industry by making his own film. Of course, Dani will not accept the offer from Iwan.
If Dani only focuses on making money, he does not need to die to play movies. He was enough to find a product sponsor to advertise, but Dani's passion for film made him still survive playing movies on the big screen a few years before he finally gave up the situation
"Thank you for the offer, but I'm sure I want to retire now" said Dani smiling politely declined an offer from Iwan, then he got off the rooftop floor
Iwan who heard the answer just sighed, then drank his coffee until it ran out
"Udah bro, to change his image Dani is difficult. His management team who tried for years never succeeded" said Sugeng patted Iwan on the shoulder to comfort him
"Yes, bro, I know. Unfortunately if he does not want to play a movie anymore, even though he has good potential," said Iwan leaning on the seat he occupied
Iwan and Sugeng chatted for a while before finally deciding to go home. Because of the day they had to take care of the casting, but before Iwan left, he issued a summary of the My Stupid Boss script wrapped in a brown envelope and wrote the address of the vanue casting on the envelope.
he put the envelope on the table with a note paper that read 'To Mr. Dani'. This is his last attempt, if this method does not produce results, he must find another suitable cast.

The next day, Iwan and Sugeng returned to live the day by finding the right candidate for the film My Stupid Boss. The number of participants who participated in the casting was less than yesterday and Iwan was still not too satisfied with the actors who wanted to play the main character, Bossman
But today was not so wasted for him. At the very least, Iwan was quite satisfied with some casting participants who played the female lead who would play Diana.
"Mas Iwan, is there a candidate that Iwan thinks is suitable to be the main character?," asked Rara to Iwan between breaks
"Ohh yeah? who?" asked Rara
"Here, Mentari Faridah. I think she's the best fit to play Diana" Iwan pointed to the resume of newcomer actress Mentari Faridah
Mentari has a height of 160 cm, short indeed. But she bears a resemblance to the female lead in Iwan's previous life. With good acting, Mentari only needs to be given the appropriate makeup to be suitable for the role of Diana
"Emm, I agree too. Although she only played a supporting role in the previous film, but the acting is quite good," said Rara agreed to the opinion of Iwan, in his note paper, only Mentari who fits his reflection about Diana
The day passed quickly and night came.

At Dani's cafe
Dani was sitting in a room with a man sitting in front of her. The man was quite old, with hair that had been thin and gray, wearing a neat suit and wearing glasses. The man was wearing an advocate pin, indicating he was an official lawyer
"So so did my client's request. My client has filed for divorce with brother Dani Martadinata yesterday at the Central Jakarta religious court. We hope brother Dani Martadinata can attend the trial in court" the old man said with a flat face
Dani was only speechless to hear the old man's words, the old man was the lawyer of his wife who wanted to sue for divorce
Actually, he had expected this to happen. A few months ago when the film failed the umpteenth time, between Dani and his wife there was a great quarrel. Initially Dani and his wife were a couple who loved each other.
Dani's wife was a young doctor who met her when Dani visited the hospital while she was still a newcomer actor. At that time, Dani's career was still good, he and his wife decided to get married.
But a few years ago, and Dani was diagnosed with no offspring, creating a rift in her household. Coupled with the umpteenth time of Dani's failed career, making his wife can no longer hold back her patience and blame Dani for all the things that happened to her.
Dani, who is depressed because of his declining career, has a big fight with his wife. Because his wife came from a wealthy family, he could not stand his ordinary life. His wife left the house and went back to her parents' house.
A few months later, exactly today he got a letter from the court brought by his wife's lawyer.
"Okay sir, thank you for the information sir," said Dani just a long sigh and then nodded his head politely to the old man.
The old man only gave a faint smile and left the letter from the religious court on the table.
Dani lit a cigarette to calm the anxiety of his heart. Because he knew that he would lose in court, he did not feel like he was shedding tears.
