The My Hollywood System
Chapter 168

"I actually have some good news for you. Dream Vision is recruiting voice actors." Director's telling.

He thought for a moment about Dream Vision.

“Isn't Dream Vision a filmmaking studio? Why are they recruiting voice actors?” The man asked curiously why the popular Hollywood studio suddenly branched out into animation.

“Well, it is a known fact that Dream Vision bought an animation studio and is now planning to start a superhero show based on the Marvel comics they bought. Right now, as far as I know, they are looking for someone to voice Spider-man, who will also be the main character. So, they're holding auditions."

An 'Oh' left his mouth listening to the director's words.

“Yes, I don't know if you read comics, but you have to do it if you're going to audition. And believe me, you don't want to miss this opportunity, it's not like you're going to lose anything here, ”

The director tries to encourage him. From what he saw about the man, he was very hardworking but unlucky at the same time.

Even with good talent, he was still only at the level of a small voice actor.

“But isn't Dream Vision big, they could easily buy a top voice actor. Why are they even holding auditions?”

Waves of questions flooded his mind.

“They need a voice that matches Spider-man, so they do everything to get the best. You know, the best part is Will Evans will be there for the audition finals. You should know that he gives chances if he feels someone has potential regardless of their rank, so you should really give it a try, ”

The man nodded, realizing the opportunity behind the director's words. "Yes, I will try it for sure, thank you," he said and smiled.

In the meeting, Will explains the general theme of Ultimate Spider-man, and also instructs the writers on how the first few episodes will go through. He also makes sure to explain how Spider-man will repeatedly break the fourth wall and other things.

It was the main part of the original show, so he wanted to keep it.

After gathering all the necessary details and dispelling their doubts, Pixar studios and Marvel comics have begun their work. Every employee is equally excited as this will be their first major project. Big enough to leave a huge impact for decades if they do it right.

Because Will has enough money; the budget is not a problem for him. In fact, because of all the projects he does and all the profits he earns, he will not cut any budget but invest as much as possible for every project that is going on.

What's more, as the DTA has reached its peak and ended up star-studded with many good actors and actresses, they continue to earn huge sums due to all the other commercials and movie projects.

Therefore, it ended up being a successful venture.

With the series work [Ultimate Spider-man] starting, Will only had time to participate in the final round of auditions. It was mainly because he felt the importance of it. The voice actors they hire can be used effectively in his future projects as well, such as in future spiderman games and other animated shows that he plans on.

[8 July 2012]

Will ends up in New York City; a city that never sleeps. He was there to start the rest of the pre-production [Friends].

The reason for choosing New York City was because Will felt that it would be the perfect place to shoot the scene. In Will's eyes, [Friends] would be able to perfectly synchronize with NYC.

Dream Vision had already started working on everything that needed to be done under Susan's supervision. In fact, Susan handles almost everything in New York and even rented a small apartment here to work.

In addition to starting filming, Will has an urge to get to know the actors better. [Friends] would basically mean nothing if not for the bond the actors have. Will will be completely unsuccessful if he doesn't know who the actor is personally and if they don't align him well.

The whole [Friends] theme is based on inner bonding and Will wants to recreate it perfectly, if not better than the original.

Wanting to get to know the actors in person, Will invites them to a friendship meeting at one of New York City's most famous restaurants. It was known as the 'Dungeon of Skyrim'. For some reason, even the name was hilarious when Will originally ordered it himself.

It reminds me of the video games of the past.

“Oh, hey, nice name for a good restaurant,” Matthew Perry is a bit late attending the meeting while others are already laughing at how Will shared his first experience in finding Leo.

"It's nice to meet you, and now we're all here" Will cleared his throat. “Let's start with [Friends], huh?”

Everyone nodded and gave a 'yes' and some other small responses. Ever since they arrived here, the surroundings had become extremely nervous and tense. But as time went on, Will began talking and several others shared stories and experiences in Hollywood. Everyone's actually trying to impress Will.

Will is initially skeptical about Eric Dant who is the actor he chose for Ross Geller because he went so far even when Patricia Miller, who was chosen as Phoebe, was cast in the film, making jokes about how she got here after a big fight with her roommate who is also her sister.

But then, Eric recounts how his fellow actors in the previous film upset him to death, while at times they had to share a room.

Eric and Patricia, Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry. Shannon Miller and Zachary Huff. The environment became a little tense but Will thought it would get better until they got a clear idea of what [Friends] were.

“OK, I will start by introducing who is who. I know you're all nervous, I can feel it here with all the gazes, but don't. I will help because I will direct the first few episodes, ”Everyone nodded. “Back to the story, let's start with our Chandler, Matthew Perry,”

Matthew smiled.

“So, Chandler; Bing Chandler. In simple terms, the king was sarcastic. In a group, he can usually be the first to point at an elephant in the room with sarcastic comments, regardless of whether it is appropriate or not. He gets the most passion because jokes are his way of dealing with problems, staying ahead, and just doing everyday moves. Chandler's intelligence is his trademark,” Will said.

Although the actors had read the script, they still listened to Will as the show's writer.

“Move to.. Joey Tribbiani. And basically, he's kind of like a kid, in personality. He was always open with all sorts of ideas for fun, such as building a fort, putting his head in the turkey, and so on. Joey's emotions regularly overwhelm him, which sometimes leads to very bad decisions. Regarding his work, he is a person who lives life as a struggling actor in New York, without a stable income or plan B. She is basically a real example of YOLO.”

Zaccary Huff laughed along with the others listening to Will's opinion of Joey.

"I can be that" commented Zaccary.

“Next we have the last man, Ross Geller. Eric Dant, I'm sure you can kind of relate to him. She is basically the only introvert among six friends. Instead of getting energy from group activities, introverts need time alone. Ross seems rather shy and reserved. He was satisfied when he engaged in intellectual activity, which is thinking and talking about dinosaurs. Ross is about facts and will go to great lengths to prove that his path is the right path,” Will said as he looked straight into Eric's eyes.

“Phoebe Buffay. Phoebe is a singer/songwriter, a masseuse, fluent in French and some Italian, and has shown great interest in animal rights, environmental rights, spirituality, etc, and have shown all sorts of other amazing talents that you will find as the show progresses on. He basically has an uncanny ability to create compelling stories, and what you know Phoebe has told some of the most imaginative and sometimes outrageous stories on the show, he said, ” Patricia listens to the whole explanation with full focus.

“And, for the last one we have Monica Geller, Ross' twin sister. Monica Geller is quite interesting. He is extroverted, perceives, perceives, and judges. Monica basically likes to spend time with others, is often obsessed with details, makes decisions based on personal feelings and values, and has to organize and plan everything. He is someone who is obsessed with seemingly insignificant details, such as which direction the labels on the covers face. That must explain a lot, right?” will said and laughed.

“Rachel Green, basically a rich girl. He is another interesting creature. Monica and Rachel are much more similar than they seem at first glance. Like her friends and roommates, Rachel also enjoys spending time with others. He prefers to rely on facts and make decisions based on feelings and values rather than logic. In the first season, she was just trying to learn more about being independent.” Will finished explaining about everyone and the actors couldn't help but think that they were two different characters.

In the end, he tried to explain what the essence of the show was.

“[Friends] are like real life, but a little better. What you are feeling now, is what fans want to feel once they get to the core of the character; who has issues related to dating, finding a job, and struggling with their parents, she said, but everything was fine and everything worked out. The best part is how it's not just Americans who can relate. All-in-all, YOU. Whoever your character is, you must be them in the entire series.” Will completed his explanation by giving them core advice on how they should do fair play for the roles they take on.

After all, the [Friends] character was not just a character. Will needs them to understand that.
