The My Hollywood System
Chapter 106

After his talk with Jeffrey and finally deciding [Liberty City] as his next film, Will began to focus on writing the script.

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

Will has decided to finish the script within two months and start filming in the first quarter of 2012.

Meanwhile, [500 Summer days] and [1917] will be released.

In two of them, [1917] had already begun pre-production and most of the roles had been cast. Due to Will's new influence, they were able to get some famous actors in cameo roles and the set construction also moved quickly.

Lucas also held acting workshops with the lead cast and following the progress reports Will had obtained, he was confident they would do very well.

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

They already have a female lead with Natalie and male lead Tom needs to be a famous actor to attract interest.

Without a famous male lead, the film would take some time to take a step at the box office. Will has decided to get the male lead from the MCA to calm him down as there is growing tension between them.

It was because of how Robert became famous.

People in Hollywood have raised egos and that is not a myth but a fact. And Will manages to hurt the egos of senior MCA executives.

If he's honest here, he hasn't done anything wrong.

Robert's talent was wasted on the MCA and he signed him after his contract expired. There is nothing the MCA can do legally.

But since Robert has been on the A list in a few months, the MCA, which is severely star-studded at the moment, feels like Will has stabbed them in the back.

After all, it would not be wrong to say that they had given him his first break by buying his first script. With that money, he was able to make his first film.

Maybe because of that or because Uncle Ben is still part of the MCA, Will doesn't want their relationship to deteriorate.

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

There are more benefits if they continue to work together.

That was why, he himself tried to give them something to make sure there was no bad blood.

Otherwise, he could have made Ewan or Robert play the role of Tom. The role was not suitable for both of them.

Playing the role of Tom would be a huge inclusion in the filmography of any actor. His character is relatable and although it can be said that he is not the kindest man, he is a great character no matter how you look at him.

For other roles such as Tom's half-sister Rachel, friends Tom McKenzie and Paul and even Tom's boss, Vance, he would take on most of the actors from the DTA.

They can also find some actors from other agencies easily as any movie related to Will would be something no one would want to miss.

In addition to casting, there is one more thing that will take Will - Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone launching will happen next week.

***

Just a week before Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone was to be released, there wasn't much noise about it.

The main reason is that Will did not participate in the marketing of the book because he was busy with other work and everything was handled by Warden Books.

They had tried to use Will's name to attract interest but their resources were limited. Another thing is that Terry is pretty confident in the book and feels like it will improve on its own.

But a week before the book's launch, Will posted about his upcoming book release on his social media and just an hour after that, the Hollywood Times posted an article about it.

[After some time ago there was a leak about Will Evans buying Marvel comics, now there is another interesting thing that happened with him in the middle.

Apparently, Will Evans is now debuting as a fantasy writer with his novel Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone to be released next week. Sparrow's account of the director confirmed this news.

From the reports, the book is a children's fantasy story revolving around a boy named Harry Potter who will find himself on the doorstep of a wizard academy.

This is a pretty interesting detail because Will's previous work was a mystery thriller and horror film. Now, he seems to be turning to being a children's novel writer.

The Hollywood Times tried to contact someone from Warden's book, the stone publisher Harry Potter and the Philosophers and the only comment we got was that the publisher was very confident that the book was going well and that it would exceed all expectations.

This is a very interesting comment and.].

After the article was published, many other news agencies and tabloids also published their own versions. Some even copied the Hollywood Times article by changing a few words.

But Warden's book doesn't seem to care.

Terry Warden didn't even have time to think about the incompetence of his marketing team. He was too busy handling calls from media houses and newspapers for interviews.

When the media houses find out that Will is not working with a top publisher but a medium publisher to publish his book, they find it very strange.

When Hollywood luminaries would write books, they often collaborated with top publishers. But Will didn't do this.

This made people curious and as a result, Terry started getting more calls for interviews. A lot of people want to know how his company got this deal.

But he didn't accept even one interview.

He was waiting for the release date before taking any interviews. Saying anything at this moment would only be considered overconfident, so he was patient.

As someone who has full confidence in Harry Potter, he is confident it will be a great success. Not just because of Will's great reputation or anything.

He only trusted his premonition and there was enough substance for him to believe in the book.

The story is very well written and the villain is only revealed at the end and at the same time, the book is able to keep the reader interested in his identity.

Moreover, it must have made Terry believe in the world. Mystical Hogwarts seems to have its own history and there is an interesting view of pure-blooded witches and others. There is also quidditch, a game that helps expand the world even further.

With all these points, Terry is confident that the book will be something special.

At least Will was confident enough to have already planned his entire series.

Now, only time will tell Terry whether he's right or not.

When all of this happened, secretary Matthew Collins, MCA CEO knocked on his door.

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

"Is that something important?"

Matthew lifted 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 was something important." The secretary replied.

"Then tell him to come in."

Matthew sighed and glanced at his computer screen. Tired eyes looked at him and he felt the wrinkles on his face growing.

He's not that old, just 53 this year and has many years left as CEO but tackling the MCA with unstable management has left him working too hard. At the same time, most of their famous stars moved to other agencies and they have never improved since then.

Matthew still remembers the good old days when they ruled Hollywood and every studio needed to serve him for his actors to work on their films.

Now, everything's gone.

"I'm not bothering you, am I."

As he thought about all that, Uncle Ben walked in, holding the file in his hand.

"It's okay, Ben. Just hurry up."

Matthew said coldly and Uncle Ben sat down. Although they have known each other for a long time, their relationship is quite close.

"Try looking 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 is not something that requires meeting with him.

"Then give them one of your acts. Why are you even asking me?"

"That study is Dream Vision."

"Ah, so the movie..."

Awareness was clearly visible in his voice and Uncle Ben nodded.

..."Yeah, it's one of those movies Will produced."...
