The My Hollywood System
Chapter 3

Unlike many small and unknown agencies in Los Angeles, MCA is a relatively well-known one. It handles several artists but mainly focuses on acting and film.

However, it has suffered a slight downfall over the past two years.

It happened because of a change in management, and after that, many of their artists went to other companies. One of their top stars, Tommy Williams, went to a rival agency ICM (innovative Creative Management).

It's not an extraordinary thing in Hollywood, but all of these collective failures have greatly lowered MCA stock, but they're still working hard to get back to the top.

As for Benjamin Charles, he was a senior agent at MCA and a friend of his father's. They used to be college roommates, and after his father's death, his father called him every week to check on him.

"Hello, Uncle Charles."

After going through his memories, Will picked up the phone and replied in a bright voice.

- Will, how are you? Have you moved out of your dorm room?

A middle-aged voice replied back.

"Yes, I just moved in today."

"good. Then come to my office tomorrow."

"Your office?"

Will asked, confusion evident in his voice. It was then that he remembered that the original soul had asked Benjamin for a job before coming out.

– Yes, I will introduce you to the film crew I know. You can work there for a while and pick things up.

Initially, the soul had previously decided to gain practical experience from the film set and then worked to become a director.

It was difficult but practical, and it seemed like no director had gone down the same path before.

But Will is different now, and he has a system to help him. That was why the next words were completely unexpected for Benjamin.

"Uncle Charles, I'm sorry, but I don't think I want to do a set like this."

- What are you saying?!

A surprised voice came over the phone.

"Well, I've been through some movie ideas lately, and I'll be preparing the script on the weekend."

– You want to be a scriptwriter?

"Yes, and I want to ask you something, Uncle."

Will said when he got the idea. He was worried about how he could sell the script [17 again], but an incredible opportunity was now in front of him.

- What help?

"I want you to see my script."

Benjamin's voice paused for a moment, and after a while, he said in a manner like he was trying to convince Will.

"I don't want you to buy it straight away. I just want you to see it. If it's bad, you can reject it."

I'll cut it and say. Benjamin thought for a moment before agreeing to this.

"Okay, meet me at my office on Saturday."

With that, the call ended, and Will took a deep breath. But this time, it was filled with excitement from a fresh start.

If he had the money and time, he would go out to celebrate because of getting the system.

But right now, the timing was tight, and he needed to write the entire script.

'I have four days to write [17 more].'

He thought and sat at his desk. Turning on his laptop, he clicked on the 'Word' software and immediately started writing.

The script [17 Again] is relatively simple to write as it is a modern drama mixed with time travel. But it mainly focuses on love, family and relationships.

At the same time, the protagonist is a well-liked man as he gives up on his dreams for his pregnant girlfriend.

But Will still had a lot of difficulties when writing the script.

There are many references to Lord of the Rings and other films in the script, and besides, the film also uses some other things that do not exist in this world.

That's why Will desperately changes the references to fit in with this universe, taking help from his memories and even watching some other famous movies.

After working for four days, she finally finished the script on the morning of the day she was supposed to meet with Benjamin.

Rubbing his sleep-deprived eyes in the past few days, he walked out of his apartment and headed straight for the printing shop.

Leaving the store with a copy of the script in his hand, he took a taxi.

The goal is not the MCA office but the Writers Guild Association of America (WGA) office.

Before meeting Benjamin, there was one thing he needed to do: register the copyright for [17 More].

The fastest way to do this is through WGA.

Usually, it takes 5-6 months to register the copyright of a script. But it was too slow and inefficient at all.

That's why, after the rule change, anyone can get a copyright-protected script for 100 USD, and they'll do it in an hour. But the downside is that they need to renew the registration every few years.

Will agreed with that, and that is why, after spending two hours in the WGA office, he was able to register his copyright.

After that, the only thing to do is to go to the MCA office. It's located on Carberry Street, this upscale area in the Los Angeles universe.

Achieving it, he waited for a while in the lobby because his promise was still time.

Finally, at 3 o'clock, Benjamin's assistant came to pick him up, and finally it was time for his meeting.

With the script in hand, Will prepares his heart as he walks inside Benjamin's office.
