The My Hollywood System
Chapter 85

As [Sherlock Holmes] wreaks havoc across the Hollywood industry, Will decides to use this opportunity to launch his talent agency.

Dream Talent Agency was announced by Will and released to the public with their main faces as Robert and Ewan. At the same time, Ewan's next film, [Birdman] was announced by Simon Vercetti.

Around that time, Will conducted an interview in which he revealed that they already had more than 1500 applications just from LA alone. In addition, they also began auditioning online through video recordings sent by the participants to them through official websites from around the world. In the end, Will also announced that he would fly all the shortlisted candidates to LA with all the costs coming from his own pocket.

At one point, the site even broke down and Will had to recruit more IT professionals to strengthen the foundation of the site and provide a better UI.

The DTA is already in talks with various studios regarding Robert's next role. When news of everything related to his agency began to circulate, the general public became in an uproar.

It caused a lot of reactions from various groups and media. There have been various Hollywood Times and Hollywood Daily articles reporting on how Dream Vision has changed its office location and also invested in talent scouting agencies.

Some articles took it a step further and began discussing how to move against ICM as they reportedly clashed with Will Evans before. Although, all of these are baseless rumors with no evidence to back it all up.

On a well-known internet forum, people are constantly arguing about various situations.

– ICM will do well, they poke 'big trouble' new Hollywood.

– Dude, Will is still like a young hatchling in front of ICM. Don't just say whatever you want.

– How long do you think Ewan will last in the DTA? I would say about 1 year at the longest since she had a history of squabbling with almost all the agencies before.

- 1 year? You must be kidding me. I would be surprised if he stayed for 3 months.

– Sheesh you will talk anything when you have to discuss the masterpiece known as [Sherlock Holmes].

- It is true that. Bro, I like Michael Robert. He's perfect, won't lie.

- He's good. But without Levi Richards, the role wouldn't look cool. Our Watson is too cool. Now I find it amusing about how they destroyed Watson so much in [Detective Sherlock Holmes] all those years ago.

– You all forgot ma boi Ewan. He really gave me goosebumps with his acting. I'm sure Blackwood will be back.

– Feels like Will used all his potential to make the best movie he could.

– People above I need to buy brains. These people have always been like Will this, Will it, one-time Star and the other. He has proven you wrong, just wait and see. I feel this is the revival of a new era of Hollywood. Make sure you don't die before you see it.

Dream Group Office, Emerald Tower, Santa Monica.

On the top floor of the newly formed Dream Group office, Will sits on a chair with Amanda and Jeffrey sitting right in front of him, with a glass table separating them.

Behind Will, one can see the glass walls that provide a beautiful view of the sea and the city of Santa Monica.

Two of the six floors are still under renovation. The recruitment process to get new staff also takes place with many applications coming in and makes it difficult for the Human Resources team to overcome them

Most teams for employee positions have been hired and the people who have been selected at the first round of auditions have to go through the second round and if they pass, they have to go through an interview and one more round. audition to be selected.

Will is told that he will be present there himself for the third round to oversee the audition. He also gave Jeffrey a list of people he could recruit.

“Your meeting is scheduled at 12pm, please prepare yourself.”

Amanda reminded Will and Will to nod his head. Around Will, Amanda acts more like a secretary than the CEO of his company, reminding Will that he needs to get a secretary to do miscellaneous work and he can't always rely on Amanda for everything.

In the conference room, Will meets Jennifer, Benjamin's daughter. She remained as beautiful as ever, although this time, that lacy yellow dress or childish feel was nowhere to be seen, but instead was replaced by a female entrepreneur-like atmosphere. She was wearing a low-cut black dress and had a leather bag in her hand, looking like a fashion model.

In this world, there are exams held every year if one wants to be an agent in Hollywood, Jennifer has been at the top of her exams.

As Will knows, Benjamin will not leave the MCA to his talent agency and even if he does, Will will lose an important connection to the MCA, so he decided to opt out of others as head of the DTA.

After remembering that Jennifer was also an agent and someone strong-willed and determined to succeed, she couldn't help but think about considering her for the position. After all, the situation was the same as his previous life, but in his case, he defended himself and left behind his father's shadow while following his own path, while Will was unable to get rid of the shadow before he died. .

"You're old enough that you don't even have time to meet now."

He started straight off with a cynical comment and Will could only shake his head.

"You do know how things are in the industry. I'm pretty sure you know how busy I am. I don't even have time for myself."

"Whatever you say."

Jennifer said and looked at him. Will of course knew that that was indeed how he acted, even though his true intentions had never been like this. And he didn't call her here for this.

"Anyways, we can fight all our lives. Let's start business first."

"certain."

Her mood changed again as Jennifer calmed down. After that, the interview began.

"I have a habit of getting straight to the topic, so I'll be honest. The reason I scheduled a meeting with you is because your record is good. Three actors and one actress in a five-year career and each of them rose through the ranks.in their careers under you." Jennifer makes a proud smile but Will's expression changes. "But what is the reason you finally changed? It speaks of problems."

"The reason is not because of me. Mark, my first actor, was completely undisciplined. He got a supporting role in a war drama but spent all his money on girls and parties. He's not serious enough. The same thing happened to my second actor. Gwen, the actress who worked with me for over two years was pregnant during filming with the director. She left Hollywood and married him. My last actor, Andrew, was a strange case. He was quite serious in his acting but was unable to take a setback. His family was so rich that he ended up taking over their business in the end due to stability."

Will nodded at her explanation but then asked.

"Don't this say that you don't have good eyes for people?"

"No." Jennifer shook her head with great confidence. "They're all good actors, even very good ones. What they lack is discipline and fear of failure. I can get a role for them but I can't interfere too much in their personal lives. An agent must remain within certain limits."

Will asks a few more questions about this and Jennifer always answers with certainty. It seemed like he was already preparing for every kind of question.

"What do you think is talent?"

"It's hard to say, but I know we saw the wrong talent. Acting talent is just the basis. In the end, we made stars in Hollywood and not actors. We need to look at the whole package when choosing an actor that means talent, determination, ambition and sometimes even luck."

He is famous for the famous actor, Donald Wilson. He is a fairly ordinary actor but due to his luck, he has been a B-Lister for many years and has been a part of several famous films.

Even when his career was hit by one bad movie after another, he would act in a good movie in the end and save her.

Will is quite satisfied with most of his answers and goes on with some basic questions that Jennifer answers easily.

In the end, Will asked.

"What do you think I'm interviewing you for? What role is there in my agency?"

"That's something you have to tell me."

"There's guesswork?"

"Since your agency has just begun, you might want me to handle an important position. Because of my record and maybe also because of our relationship."

Will nodded his head hearing that and then explained.

"Well, I want you as the head of the DTA."
