The My Hollywood System
Chapter 14

Now that John is present, there is no need to delay the audition. Will wants to pick most of the actors today, and the first one to audition is actually June.

Since he had been with her for a few days now and they were also actively talking about her script, she already had a good understanding of the plot and her character.

In [The Blair Witch Project], there are three main characters, two of them male and one female.

June will audition for the female lead, Heather, and now, she already understands this character well.

Even in Will's mind, he had already chosen June as the female lead.

After all, he was quite experienced, and they had already talked a lot about the film. There was no reason for him not to consider her for the role.

He felt like he could do the role perfectly.

Audition was just something to dispel a little doubt in his mind.

"I'll give you a screenplay, and you'll have to play it."

Will said after June sat in front of him. Now that the audition had begun, his eyes did not look playful anymore, and his eyes were firm as if he would do his best to pass the audition.

From behind, John noticed the change in atmosphere and smiled before turning his gaze back to the playboy magazine.

"Think that you're sleeping in a tent, and you hear the rustling sound of grass and twigs breaking. You feel like you heard footsteps outside the tent. What was your first reaction?"

"Give me time to think."

June said and closed her eyes, imagining the scenario in her mind.

He tried to imagine everything and how he would react if he were really in such a situation.

"Mr Dawson, will you stomp your feet as I act?"

June asked John, and John just smiled at what he was doing. Putting the magazine aside, he said.

"Call me John, and why not? Let's do it your way."

Will, who was waiting for June to start acting, was slightly impressed by her actions. He told John to step on his foot to make the sound of footsteps, so he could enjoy the situation better.

"3, 2, 1 and Action!"

Will counts down, even though the situation has no dialogue, June must show how scared and scared she would be if she were Heather.

Acting should not feel like 'acting' and should feel real and natural.

June is now immersed in her character and acts as if she is alone in the middle of the forest at night, afraid of low noise and gulping down in fear.

Although it was clearly a coffee shop where they were auditioning, June's appearance made it seem like they were already on the set of a horror movie.

“Oke, cut. Very good, June, welcome to the ship, officially.”

Will said that with a smile on his face. She was already convinced that June was a good actress. But he has to make sure of it, personally and officially.

June, who had a terrified expression a few seconds ago, was now beaming with a smile. He ran towards Will and hugged him tightly.

“Eh, umm.. Nice work.”.

Will said, feeling shocked and speechless at the same time by the sudden embrace.

“Good, June. Director Evans, it looks like you have an amazing talent.”

John praised. He was used to coming in and supervising auditions from new directors, but rarely did he see that someone the director brought in was anything good.

Most of the time, new directors will engage their friends and family in the film to lower costs, sacrificing film quality with untrained actors. John expects the same from June because Will himself is taking him to the audition.

But June was amazing. Although John is not professional in acting, years of attending auditions have given him a keen eye for judging these actors and actresses.

After hearing John's comments, June returns to the real world and realizes what she's doing.

He immediately loosened his arm and retreated. Although she seemed a bit embarrassed by the sudden thing, there was nothing bad about hugging each other, so she simply smiled shyly and waited for Will to continue the audition.

After that, people kept coming to give auditions for the role, mostly due to high salaries. No one is really very talented or too good, but Will has to work with whatever he has.

During the audition, a fat man also came with his manager. He said he would audition with his own script, not from the director.

Will reluctantly agrees, and the fat man starts acting. The acting is more like a joke drama, which simply does not fit the theme of a horror story.

He would be a good comedy character if only the film had a comedy. Will had her act in a horror scene, and even though she did a horror scene, somehow, she even made the horror scene seem comedic.

Maybe because of her body type, or maybe her way of acting, but she's not cut out for a role in a horror movie. And even so, she was more suited to movies like [Scary Movie].

Will had to turn it down for some pretty obvious reason. After her, there is a crazy girl who takes off her top clothes and tries to seduce Will in the show.

He went so far as to feel his whole body, kissing it even from his lips to his neck. Will feels like Simon Cowell from America's Got Talent from his previous life.

Although Will, as a man, secretly enjoyed the naked show, he also rejected the girl.

As he continued the auditions, the number of people gathered to see what happened increased slightly.
