The My Hollywood System
Chapter 126

Will, Robert, Jeffery, and Renly also join Elijah, as he has some scenes to take after Robert's cameo is taken.

"Finally, the General himself appears; what are you doing, soldier!? Didn't you know that you should have saluted a high-ranking officer when he entered the room?" Robert snapped at Renly and Elijah as he made fun of Will before giving him a tight hug.

Will was greeted with handshakes and hugs from the other actors in the room, while the supporting actors who were all dressed up as military officials were just watching on Star Sturck.

"Our son, Corporal Elijah Lance here, broke his ankle last week, so Brigadier General Jeffery had General Amspoker send him back to camp for a week while I had to take his leeway, he said, and now it seems that the great five-star general himself has come to take care of the job, Lance Corporal, you seem like an important person, because he has appeared." Robert continued his joke on Elija as everyone laughed amusedly. Will is not surprised when Elijah is injured. It was common in action movies, especially ones like [1917].

"Well, Colonel, I have another post for you, because once this task is done, why don't we talk about it at lunch? After your mission here is completed?" will said, continuing with Robert's Joke.

Robert straightened up and returned to salute, "Sir, Yes!, Sir!"

"Are you two going to stay in character all day?" Jeffery interjected, "I can feel the headache coming."

"What's wrong with you, Brigadier General?" Will scoffed at scolding her.

Jeffery groaned as Elijah and Renly laughed amusedly. Will's finally deflating and "Well, I'm gonna be around here until this scene is over, and I'm gonna help out as best I can. Not too hard or anything, is it?"

"Elijah and I almost freaked out a few scenes. I thought we were going to die when the plane almost crashed over us, but it gave a nice view." Renly replied, with Elijah nodding at her side.

"Well, looks like you guys have some adventures. Anyway, it looks like Director Lucas is ready for his next shoot. I'll be with him." Will comments, seeing that the Director has arrived by the camera crew again.

The others nodded as Jeffery left, followed by Will, as the director prepared to begin Robert's cameo scene in the film.

Will remained, mostly as an observer. He did not want to interfere with the Director's work in any way, as the director himself, he knew that they did not accept others to interfere in their work, no matter who it was. So, he simply watched the process, near his chair, under the tent they had set up to protect them from the sunlight.

Will follows Jeffery and Robert with his Harley Davidson as they drive their Mercendes to The Company Shed in rural Sufolk. They have chosen the restaurant as it is closest to the filming location and provide quality food for them at the same time.

Getting off his bike, Will follows Jeffery and Robert to a restaurant, where they are quickly guided by the attendant to a private spot inside, and they sit around a round table. They ordered their food quickly and decided to finish their conversation before the food arrived.

"So, Robert. Now that your cameom scene is over, I have another script ready and waiting for you. This is a project that I will direct and produce. It's called [Libert City], a gangster action drama based in the hippie 80s. And the role I'm offering you is the antagonist role here. A wealthy multimillionaire is the head of a criminal family known as the Vercetti family. I'm bringing the written manuscript; I'll leave it to you to read and discuss with your agent once we're done with the food here." Will told Robert.

"Sherlock Holmes was held for some time. I'm sure around August or September will be the right time. For now, I want to give you new leads and experiment with stories featured in mainstream Hollywood. Have you seen the movie? which gets your blood pumping, or your adrenaline racing, and makes you sit on the edge of your chair throughout the movie?" Will asks them, and their rejection, he continues, "Hollywood and cinema, in general, have the potential to be anything and everything you can imagine. I want cars to explode, planes to crash, monsters and aliens, spaceships, and everything you can imagine. That's the lack of Hollywood right now. There is a severe lack of imagination at this time. Horror movies are cliche, and my [The Blair Witch Project] was the only genre change in decades. Similarly, the unimaginative nature of Hollywood today almost destroyed [Sherlock Holmes], by making it a comedy instead of thrilling. I wanted to change that and bring Hollywood to an era where the magic itself is at the heart of filmmaking." He finished his fiery speech.

He can see that Robert is interested in the direction Will is portraying, while Jeffery is skeptical, yet even he can see that it is not about the story and the creativity he wants to show but something else. Will move Jeffery to express his opinion. Jeffery replied, "That's all well and good, Will, but all of this requires a lot of talent. You directed [Sherlock Holmes], and it was an amazing job. We're going to need a director who can build and improve on that. Actors who can summarize and imagine the story, and VFX, CGI, Animation, etc. There are many different things you need before you can try what you propose." WEB."

Will nodded and pointed out, "I'm rich, Jeffery. I will find that talent. I will find the resources and bring them into the group. And it all started with this project. [Liberty City] will change the movie as we see it. I'm going to introduce the action in the movie like we've never seen before. I just need your support. I already have the lead actor for this. He's like Robert here. The same hidden potential, the same talent, He and Robert will make it a success, I can see it."

He could see that his words had the desired effect on the two of them as he spoke of Leo. That's when their food arrived. And they continued their discussion of the delicious meat pie and the treacle pudding they ordered.

"Think about the scene where the main character is in a bar fight, and he is up against ten people. Do you think he'll survive?"

Will asked, and Jeffery shook his head.

"Cannot be. The main character is not a superhero. He'll be beaten up all out."

"Yes, but my main character will not only defeat all those thugs, but he will also do it in style. Things that make people think it's impossible, but it's cool."

Robert made a sharp comment hearing that.

"The critics will say you missed physics class."

"A movie doesn't have to go through that. Movies can make a walk in the park cool if you want. So, why not a fight scene? Think of the main character as a game character. The audience did not have it. to think whether his actions were reasonable or not; they just needed to enjoy it."

Robert liked what Will said. Everything is possible, and they are the ones who decide how to show it. That's an interesting proposition.

"Who can make an action scene into a style? I don't think Antonio can do it. He never worked like that."

Jeffery said, showing something clear. Antonio is an action director, but he doesn't have enough experience or skill to choreograph a series of stylized action scenes.

"We can hire a foreign action director. We have money, so anything is possible."
