The My Hollywood System
Chapter 125

Sitting in his chair, inside his office, on Tuesday afternoon, Will wrote the finishing touches to the sketch he was working on. The sketch is of a man, wearing a long black raincoat with a gun on his left hand, who has a star tattoo on his wrist. His right hand had a thorny stick, and the rain was pouring down. The street behind him showed rows of corpses and shops whose front windows were smashed, and smoke and flames gushed out from the broken windows. The man's face was angled, with a hairline that looked wet as the hood of his raincoat slipped off.

Will had just shaded the last vestiges of the man's shadow, which was visible in front of the man due to the fire behind him, when Will heard a knock on his door, which was immediately followed by the sound of the door opening. She knew exactly who was coming to her office, as Alexia had told her after she asked her to send the office border to her room. Looking at his artwork, he could see that he had made some mistakes in perfectly sketching Leo's face in his work. He put that thought out of his mind as soon as it hit him, because it wasn't important for now.

"Leo! please sit down, and tell me what you think of my scheme." He invited her, handed her the sketch.

Leo sat across from his desk and peeked at the sketch. Will could see that his eyes were slightly wrinkled, "This is my sketch. Looks good!" He said, his voice getting a touch of excitement, because he had a feeling about what the conversation that was going to happen here was about "A-Is this .....?"

It was Mario di Mauro, the main leader of my next project [Liberty City]." Will confirmed his premonition. "The same characters you auditioned for, at The Plaza, in New York City."

Leo's face must have shown his disbelief and hope, and he would stutter as he tried to answer, "A-does this mean ..."

"That you are the main leader of [Liberty City]?" Will finished the punishment for him.

With an enthusiastic nod of Leo, Will tilted his head to the side and said, "Maybe." Leo's smile threatened to split his face in half, but Will soon brought him back to reality by adding, "You're not ready yet. You can't even deliver the right punch, and if you want to secure this role, I'd like to see you in your best condition. There will be a screen test, and Amanda has set up a martial arts and sports instructor for you. I'd like you to be fit before the audition. Your instructor has been informed of his requirements, and he will whip you up form. But I will need the best, as I said. I'm giving you the whole script for this movie. Read; Memorize; Eat; I don't care. I'd like you to know everything there is for you there, memorize it. I want you to be Mario by the time filming starts. See you soon after the screen test starts. Go!"

Leo got up from his seat, stumbling slightly as he said, "Don't worry, Will! I'll give you everything I have!" And he practically ran away from the office, holding the script as if it was his only life-saving.

Will wants to show the severity of the situation. Therefore he did not beat around the bush and cut all the nonsense with him. He sighed, and gazed at the sunset, visible outside his office, hoping the project he was working on was successful when it finally started producing.

She then gets ready when Alexia tells her that her driver has arrived, and she has to fly to Jolly Old England again.

There were explosions everywhere, with bullets and shrapnel flames seemingly flying in all directions.

People dressed in brown combat uniforms lined up in the trenches as they crawled to the side of the salty white trench and took over the battlefield. Inside the trench, a tall soldier ran along the front line, narrowly dodging the attacking men as he walked into the bunker. He was followed by a large camera hanging from a thin wire, with most of his body in a ditch, just behind the soldier.

The soldier, played by Renly Warren, falls but steps himself up again and reaches the barracks, which are guarded by two more soldiers; the; he fell once more as he reached the army but was captured by one of the captains who came out of the barracks.

"Colonel McKenzie?" He asked while once again establishing himself.

"He's inside." Then came the answer, as the man turned towards the line and walked away shouting, "Vests B, two minutes!"

"Let me through!" Renly shouted as the guards stopped her.

"Hey, hey...!" The guards wrestled to hold him.

"What do you think you're doing?" The second guard shouted.

"I have to get through it. I have to see Colonel Mackenzie!" When he finally broke through the guards and entered the barracks.

"And Cut! Perfect Shoot! Step for a few minutes, everything, adjust the inside of the camera, and set the lighting to moderate brightness. I don't want to be too bright, the lamp should be the only one that illuminates the final shot, regardless of the slight sunlight." Director Carlson announced, and Jeffery, who was near the camera crew, watched the operator take the scene with the camera mounted on the cable, turned around and returned to the seat and fetched water.

He had just reached the seat when he heard the roar of the motorcycle, and he turned his head to who was allowed near the set by their security. He saw the man get off his Harley Davidson motorcycle. He wore a black leather bomber jacket, on a white T-shirt, in black pants. His hands were covered with gloves without fingers. Pri took off his helmet, and Jeffery recognized his friend Will Evans.

First of all, I'll talk to the director. Jeffery could see that every eye on the location was on Will as soon as he arrived. He spoke to the director for about a minute. Jeffery gulped down the water and saw Will finished speaking and headed straight towards him.

"What are you doing in Queen's England, again, Will?" He flinched as he reached it.

Will smiled and said, "Why, Jeff? Can't a man show up in different countries to meet his old friends?"

Jeffery shook his head and replied, "It is possible, but knowing you have other influences that will make my heart restless but still pleasant."

Will chuckled and replied, "Focus on the second part then. Having fun is all that matters; if you enjoy yourself, all the risks will be worth it in the end."

"Too right, my friend," Jeffery admitted, hugging Will briefly.

"Well, anyhow. I need to talk to you and Robert. Let's walk." Will said as he headed to where the barracks were built.

Jeffery quickly followed in his footsteps and asked, "So this is about [Liberty City]? Have you finished the entire script?"

Will nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, and I'm thinking of giving Robert an antagonist role in the film. I think he will do amazingly in that role."

Jeffery pondered. "The villain, huh? That's a new direction for Robert. Trying to give him a variation?" He finished when they reached the barracks.

"Not enough, this role will be a taste or a test for something else that is on my mind for her later" Will replied, and Jeffery thought about what Will would have for Robert again after this.

Inside the barracks, they could see Robert accompanied by Renly Warren and several other supporting actors. They all wore standard infantry military uniforms, from the first world war, with Robert having the highest rank marked on his shoulder.

As soon as they stepped in, all eyes were on them, and Jeffery could see that Robert and Renly's faces had a smile unconsciously splashed across their faces. He can understand, because technically Will has made them and their careers what they are today.
