The My Hollywood System
Chapter 75

Early in the morning, Will slowly opened his eyes, rubbed them and sat on the bed.

Turning his head, he glanced at June who was sleeping soundly.

They had a nice date last night, explored the city, had a fancy dinner, and had fun in bed together.

They are much closer now than before.

Over time, Will believes their relationship will improve. Although, yes, she agreed with what June said to her last night.

Both of them have progressed very quickly, but Will has no problem with this. What was more important to him was their happiness, and this was why he had been there with her for such a long time.

In the ever-changing flow of the showbiz industry, it is not easy to maintain a secure and trusted relationship, and both do not want the worst to happen.

After all, a relationship happens with trust and confidence. They trust each other and believe in themselves not to make knots that cannot be tied in this relationship.

Drinking a full glass of water, Will went to freshen up.

June had also woken up when she came out and changed into clothes.

"Good morning" he whispered, still curled up in bed.

Will moved in and sat down at the side, "Good morning, you have to get up now; it's past 8."

"Hm. Let me sleep a little more." June closed her eyes and hugged her tighter.

Will shook his head with a smile and added, "Well, I have to leave immediately. They are working on the theme of the [Sherlock Holmes] movie, and I want to see it all through to the end. Also, [17 Again] should also be coming out soon; should be preparing for that as well."

June smiled, "Don't forget me in all this."

Will kissed her forehead, "As if."

June narrowed her eyes, "You think you're going to get away with it?"

A few hours later, Will enters his office.

The next few months will be very busy as two films associated with it will be released, in a row.

First, [17 Again] will be released soon, and then, after a few months, [Sherlock Holmes] will be released.

Post-production is now set to begin, with Jeffrey's wife, Emilia, leading the editing of the film. After working together at [The Blair Witch Project], he deeply trusted his style.

For this project, he even had a team assigned to him by Foxstar because the scale of his films was much higher than that of the camcorder horror films.

This also means that the soundtrack of the film needs to be added. They've already decided on one, and that's by a female composer named Tracy Connolly. She uses her initials TC as her stage name.

The soundtrack of [Sherlock Holmes] is very important because the original is quite good. Almost at a level where one could say it was the soundtrack of [Sherlock Holmes] after playing it.

Even Will felt it was greatly underestimated in the original.

To maintain its quality, he passed 9 trial songs by different composers before deciding on this one by TC.

The main reason was because the vibration was a little similar to the original, making the listener excited slowly.

Another thing they started was to start marketing for [Sherlock Holmes]. Since this is an adaptation of a classic rather than a genuine one, Foxstar wants to create some hype for it at least a month before its release.

That's why they're slowly leaking out some set images, most notably Rachel as Irene, Ewan as Lord Blackwood and Levi Richards as Watson. Seeing these big stars together in a movie, the topic made a buzz among various movie forums.

And just hours after this 'leakage', Foxstar revealed the title of their next film. As of now, everything is still hidden, but once it is announced that a new Holmes film will be released in just a month, the public becomes frenzied.

They got Holmes movies after more than a decade! At most, many people wondered if it would be good, but the set image of a famous actor was enough to make them wish.

It mainly reaches the top ranking of real-time searches on Sparrow, Twitter of this world.

One of these tweets was made by the famous film critic @CriticCye. Under his tweet about [Sherlock Holmes] announcement, many people commented angrily.

- The new Sherlock movie! Is this April Fool's joke??

- No, that's true. There are some photos, and I know Ewan Rees is coming back soon, but I never thought it would be a Sherlock movie.

just hope it won't be as bad as the last one.

I'm really excited for this one. The set leak looks incredible, and at least it looks like it's old London.

I'm more excited for Rachel. What role did he play?

- You all know that this is a big production. About 80 million dollars was spent on just this one movie, and Foxstar is really all-out on this one. I hope Hollywood finally gets a decent franchise!

this is not Foxstar! All of you blind bastards ignoring Will Evans as director? Don't tell me it's detective horror?

- Sherlock will hunt zombies and fight ghosts in this game? Let's go!!

- Let me tell you something. My friend who works at Foxstar told me that Will Evan's Dream Vision is fully producing the film. It had no other shareholders, so he basically pumped every bit of money he got from his first movie.

he is really confident!

who played Sherlock? Ewan or Levi don't look like that.

yep, they haven't revealed the clue yet. I guess it's another big star, and they'll reveal it in a few hours?

I can't wait!!!

Basically, everyone talks about it. Soon, the media sniffed it and started posting articles all over the internet.

Most of the previous ones contained only the basic information disclosed by Foxstar officially and the images set.

But there are many important questions that are still hidden, such as who plays what role? Who is Holmes? Why would Will suddenly direct a Holmes movie? And why would he risk almost all of his income?

To find the answer, the media began using all sorts of contacts to at least get a little information. In just a day, an article was published on the weekly Entertainment.

It had a clickbait title, and it instantly became a hit. The article is as follows.

[The biggest bet in Hollywood that Will Evans, Michael Robert Elrod, and the franchise can be a dream.]

Just yesterday, Foxstar revealed their most anticipated release of the year. [Sherlock Holmes] - a movie that became a bad stigma for every moviegoer in the 90s is now being overhauled with a high budget of 80 million dollars.

Following this announcement, Holmes fans went wild, anticipating the release of a film they never expected they would get. Every studio in Hollywood knows the franchise level. In the last decade, no one has been brave enough to bring up the topic of what will happen.

Then came a child prodigy, Will Evans. Someone who made 200 million dollars out of almost nothing. An innovative film that broke the norm and gave rise to many young filmmakers who wanted to do the same.

But after an amazing start, the time came for his second project, and he bet. He bets literally every penny he earns from his first movie into a project that may completely destroy or make his career.

In addition, he put together a group of actors who can easily attract audiences to any film—especially Ewan Rees, someone who is most picky in choosing projects in Hollywood.

But it doesn't end here.

Apparently, leading the movie. The actor in the lead role is an unknown man, Michael Robert Elrod. Will loved it and was a fan of his acting in the short roles he had in his career that gave him iconic roles.

It's almost confusing that Foxstar is okay with this.

Maybe not, but they saw the same thing the young director did to the unknown man—a kind of spark—something that only the director could see.

After all, however, this is a gamble, and perhaps, it is the biggest gamble seen in Hollywood in the last decade.

Blockbuster or bankruptcy - There is no middle ground for Will Evans from here!

After this article was released, it has been read by over a million people in just a day. Upon learning that Will had spent a fortune on the project and getting an unknown actor to play Holmes, people became confused and confused; some even found it funny.

This has never been seen before, and it comes from a director who was far from graduating film school last year.

But whatever it is, people are curious.

That's what Foxstar and Will are aiming for. Will the movie really work? Or the curtain down on Will's career.

Those questions are on the minds of every movie fan, and every day, those questions are growing.
