The My Hollywood System
Chapter 189

Spiderman's casting for other characters from the film has already begun. Many actors and actresses, well established or not in the industry, apply for auditions, given how big and potential Will will show with each of his works. Also, Dream Vision growing wider and higher is something where every agency sees an opportunity.

Right now Will, Amanda, Jeffery and the crew are in a hurry. For the meeting, even the marketing team was present.

Although Will was aware of several faces, he seemed unable to remember every name of everyone present. However, the meeting was to discuss something fundamental about marketing and promotion [Spiderman].

"We will have a special team to do the task I have in mind. I want them to film everything behind the scenes, around the set and especially the things behind the camera that you think people will like" Will explained, looking at the front row.

Three men and two women were sitting, staring at him with a frown. Questioning 'what new things Will has created' – they have put on their faces.

"But why? Isn't that extra work? Not to mention it'll cost the budget." The man in the left corner asked, wanting to know the reason.

"That's the most important part. We will market behind the scenes before and after the release of the film. In short, watching this behind-the-scenes video is for two reasons: they want to watch the movie, or if they've already watched it. watch and enjoy it, they want to know what is going on behind the scenes.

And also, on the one hand, providing insight into how we combine all the elements in a film, will increase its value. People are already curious about how Dream Vision works, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to market ourselves and attract more attention" Will explained as he stared one by one.

"However, the main reason is, we're NOT just making another movie. We are creating history. We can share the story if we record everything that goes on behind the camera" Will muttered at last, drawing everyone's attention.

The 'history' part he said seemed to turn things around in their minds, they nodded, understanding what Will explained.

"Yes, you're right," said someone among the crew while making everyone nod again.

"It will really help people to connect more deeply with stories and movies if we provide behind the scenes video clips. I mean, imagine when you get to see your favorite character, who will be played by your favorite actor. How amazing, right? Of course, the plausible value is when behind the scenes comes out, and how they can enjoy the little things related to actors and their acting skills," A young woman with short black hair, the one wearing the glasses added while agreeing to Will's request.

"It sounds like a good marketing strategy," the man who should be the chief marketing director implied with a meaningful smile.

"In addition, my idea can actually bring in a lot of interest. The promotion could start right after we finished filming once we had the clips we needed. And one more thing, I want to target every country for the promotion where Spiderman will be released" Will said.

"But it's going to be a lot of money to invest in marketing" Amanda spoke up, recalling what Will mentioned.

Some eyes turned towards her, while others focused on Will, who was also staring at Amanda.

"We're not going to do it alone. Every studio in the Top 6 is interested in being part of a movie. We can use their help and connections. We can focus on the deal as soon as possible because I'm sure we've done it. there are some people who ask for it, right?" Will asked Amanda.

"Yes" he muttered back.

"Yes, go. I would also like to announce the film in the next issue of Marvel Comics in every print. It would have garnered a large audience even before the release because the demand for the comics was high. We can release players like this too." Will's focus turns to Stan Lee and Ross.

"Sure," Ross replied as quickly as possible.

“So in addition to all that, we can also use the usual marketing strategies, such as social media, movie sites, press, and after the movie, we can auction some props. Other teams can go to websites, create quizzes, social competitions that are super trendy these days" Will explained, staring at everyone.

Most marketing managers take notes or simply listen to Will. Sooner or later, they had to follow through on every suggestion he gave.

"And we have to make arrangements with other studios to increase the number of audiences we target and get them to market their ideas. Since it's not just two or three studios that are interested, I think we might get a lot of things." Will explain.

"Yes, that would be great. And also..."

The meeting about the next big hit marketing and promotional strategy lasted for two more hours, during which they discussed many things from ideas to money, including, and then budget up to the estimated date of the idea to be presented.

"That's all for today" Will said as he sat in the chair.

"I have a request" he said, and Will tilted his head as a question mark. Stan Lee looked serious and there seemed to be something very important to ask.

"What's that?" Would question.

"Can I play J. Jonah Jameson?" Stan Lee asked, but his voice was slightly layered with doubt.

The question surprised Will. Stan Lee wanted to play J. Jonah Jameson even in his past life. Stan Lee wants to play it, considering Jameson is one of his favorite characters. Stan Lee had even admitted how much he wanted to play in the film, even auditioning for the role– but couldn't do it because he wasn't right for the role; he was old enough.

JK Simmons will play the character J. Jonah Jameson in Will's previous life. It has been mentioned how Stan Lee became very complimentary of Simmons' portrayal.

But in front of Will, Stan Lee stood wanting answers as to whether or not he could audition for the role.

"I have other plans for you,"

"What's that?"

"I actually want Spiderman's movie to have a cameo from you. And if you can, in every Spiderman movie I make from now on," Will said, looking at the confused and calm Stan Lee.

"Yes, that sounds like a good idea, thank you," He relented. "I have to get back to work" Stan Lee walked out of the room after smiling a little at him.

Will understands the disappointment in Stan Lee's voice, but also, he thinks it's getting better. Even in the original film, Stan Lee from another universe had cameos in a different superhero movie.

Will can't give her a role because he has seen Simmon exist in this world. He saw JK Simmons acting in one of the independent films he watched. Also, the actor more or less worked in Indie films and was known for his career at film festivals.

After watching the movie, and Will confirms that it is him, he contacts the agency to tie him up.

The Hollywood Weekly published an article about how they assumed about [Spiderman], though when they had no specific information, it got closer to things considering how the paparazzi were overseeing the studio building.

New Movie Release by Dream Vision; Will Evans — Rumors with Evidence

There have been rumors about how another film by Dream Vision is being prepared and has been in pre-production for several weeks now. After Will is free of the coma and the hospital frees him, it is mentioned that he took a week to himself, finally getting a break from the coma and the film.

Discussions about the new film began right after Will returned to work at Dream Vision. It has been mentioned that we can expect an immediate announcement that may be able to give us more details about the next Will Evans project.

Accept it or not, most people inside and outside the industry are waiting for any announcement Dream Vision has to make, given how dark things are after Will was in a coma for three weeks in a row.

Apart from that, there is some information that might make us assume before any official announcement.

The main story is how Canadian actor—Damon McDonald is said to be acting in a new movie, given how he is seen walking outside Dream Vision with a stack of papers in his hand. Damon is a famous actor with all the side characters he has done over the past five years.

It would not be a miracle if Damon remained an established actor in the industry after taking part in one of the films that Will Evans would direct.

The new movie could be considered as something related to Marvel comics. Reporters claim that Will Evans has been seen in and out of Marvel studios for the past few days.

Although we have a glimpse of who will be in the movie, the other possible assumption is correct is– fifty fifty.

Nevertheless, we can probably assume that the wait is worth the movie.
