The My Hollywood System
Chapter 2

[Want to get rich? Want to date a supermodel? Want to be the King of Hollywood? I'll help you. Welcome host, I'm the Hollywood System.]

The translucent blue screen makes Will possessed.

Unknowingly, he reached out towards the screen, his hand passed through it as if it was just an illusion.

'Am I really so desperate that my brain shows illusions to me?'

He thought while rubbing his eyes. The screen is still there. It's not gone.

Anticipation began to accumulate within Will as he thought.

'Is this really real?'

Near the left corner of the screen prompt, he sees an option to continue.

He gently touched 'Continue' on the transparent blue screen as if it was a smartphone.

This time also his finger passed through the screen but the previous prompt disappeared and a new screen appeared.

"Hey son, the theater is empty. It's time for the next show. You can't watch a movie twice with one ticket."

Will finally gets out of his trance when he realizes that he is still inside the theater.

He immediately got up and apologized to the middle-aged man for his problem. He immediately ran back to the location of his rental apartment.

…

Arriving at his shabby apartment. He immediately closed the door and sat down.

The screen had disappeared like it had never existed, which made him anxious.

As soon as he thought of the screen, it appeared again.

For the experiment, he tried to make it disappear, and it disappeared. He tried it a few more times when he realized that he could control it as he wished.

He looked at the screen that was currently showing a different prompt than before.

[You can claim a beginner's prize before getting into the system, the reward will be lost if you decide to skip this section.]

He looked at the screen showing the gift box icon and thought about claiming the prize.

As soon as he thought that, the box suddenly began to shine as the lid opened and the entire box disappeared.

A new prompt appeared in front of him.

[Starter Gift Box]

The Blair Witch Project (Scripts)

17 More (Scripts)

'Huh?'

Will is confused by what is going on, as he thinks of a way to understand the situation.

He thought about focusing on the gifts he received and more information emerged.

[Blair Witch Project (Scripts)

Type - Consumables.

Use this item to get the script of the movie 'The Blair Witch Project'.]

[17 Again (Scripts)

Type - Consumables.

Use this item to get the script for the movie '17 Again'.]

Slowly but surely, Will begins to understand how it works.

Now the question is, none of this proves the actuality of the situation because nobody gives anything physical, something more solid as proof.

So, he thought about using that item.

[Item 'The Blair Witch Project (Script)' has been consumed.]

Soon, information about the film begins to fill Will's brain as he can remember every piece of information about the film.

A copy of the script is also placed on the screen.

'It's all real!'

Will eventually makes sure that everything he sees is real and indeed something like a transmigration scam for him.

This was the first good thing that had happened to him since the lazily written transmigration.

* * *

Will soon use 17 more scripts and get the entire plot of the film in his head.

After exploring the system for a while, he discovered that it had many things.

From movie scripts to songs and skills. All of that can be purchased from the system from Fame Points, the currency of the system.

One Fame Point worth $10. Real money can be converted into Fame Points and vice versa.

Currently, he had 0 Fame Points. He could earn Fame Points from various quests and tasks he could take from the system.

For now, he would have to work with the two scripts he got and make something out of them.

The Blair Witch Project is about 3 friends who set out to make a documentary about the famous Blair Witch.

This is a very low budget film released in 1999. 'The 'Recording Technique Discovered' of the film became so popular that it was later used in films such as 'Paranormal Activity' and 'Cloverfield'.

The film has made almost $250 million worldwide, making it a hit movie well above its initial budget.

Another film, 17 Again, is the story of Mike O'Donnell, who left his sports career at the age of 17 to hear his girlfriend was pregnant.

As he grows to 37 years old, he finds his life boring as everything begins to decline, from his impending divorce to his beloved wife and children not caring about him at all.

He wants to go back to when he was 17 so he can correct his mistakes. By a chance accident, his wish is completely granted when he becomes his 17-year-old self.

The story follows Mike as he helps his own children with their affairs and cannot help but love Scarlett, his wife even in the body of a teenager.

Overall, both films were hits.

The Blair Witch Project is a $300,000 budget low-cost film that produces $250 million worldwide.

17 Again budget is $40 million as it grossed around $140 million.

The choice was clear to Will about which film he should choose.

He still needs an initial budget even for a cheap movie, so the best course of action is to write down 17 Again scripts, handle the copyright and sell them to some well-known production company.

Even for all this, he needed some kind of support, so he was not rigged.

Luck is also a major factor.

After all, there are thousands of scripts in circulation in Hollywood and even established screenwriters sometimes fail to sell their scripts.

At that moment, his phone, which he had not used at all in the previous two days of transmigration, rang.

Will saw who called him.

[Uncle Charles.]

As he rummaged through his memories, he found the name of the caller 'Benjamin Charles'. He is an agent of the MCA (Martis Collins Agency) and his father's best friend.

He would call every week to check how he was doing.
