Chapter 168: MHS - Chapter 166
Susan approached Will who sat idly in the corner of the theatre while typing something on his phone. Looking at Will, Susan for a moment tried to process how someone like him, who looked simple but was creative to the core, exists in this world.
It was mainly because Susan's thoughts moved back to Will's previous projects. If someone looked at her looking like that at Will, they would probably think she is a weird stalker who works under the same roof or someone who has some huge crush on her boss.
"Hello, Susan. Do you need help with anything?" Will asked when he felt her presence for quite some time now.
"O-Oh yes sir, I just came to share the progress," Susan said and tried to show a smile. It was a weird moment but now that she was caught, she just had to roll on.
"Go ahead," Will gave permission.
"So, since most of the actors on the cast are already on the list, within a week I will be able to complete all the documental processes. They will all need to join DTA first though," Susan said. "I'll contact the agents' guilds and get the formalities done as soon as possible," She said further.
Will knew from his previous life that after the performances of the actors in [Friends], they all got a huge boost in their careers with that series.
Due to that being the main reason, Will did not even consider letting the actors go to different agencies after [Friends]. It was a possible scenario to happen because Will knew that ICM must already be keeping an eye on them.
Will had said this to Susan and the necessary documents would be made considering his requirements.
"Oh and, Jennifer will forward the actors that we are going to choose for the other actors in the first season, and sir, you can finalize it," Susan said.
"Sir, who will direct the series?" Susan questioned.
The pre-production somewhat started, yet the 'director' position was still empty. For the series, there was still no statement about who would direct it by Will.
"I will direct the first few episodes, that at least is what I have in my mind right now," Will implied.
Will thought of directing a few episodes by himself due to several reasons.
One, was because the pre-production of spider man hadn't started yet, it was especially because he was still deciding on the main cast of the movie. Also since that, they needed to focus more on animating the ultimate Spider-Man series first and Will had a bit of time left.
Due to that, he decided to direct [Friends] first few episodes, plus it was Dream Vision's first series. He felt like he needed to take the responsibility of directing and launching.
"You know, since Ultimate Spiderman pre-production won't start for a while now, I think I might have time. On a second note, it would honestly be great if I start directing the first series of Dream Vision,"
Susan nodded at Will's answer with a smile that looked genuine in Will's eyes. "I actually have a great plan that can increase the promotional attention of the crowd," Will went on to say.
"Oh, what is it?" Susan questioned.
"Well, the brand Will Evans is good enough to promote because we know that we already have so many people wanting for me to make something, but all of it could go a step ahead in marketing, especially if I am the one who is directing the first few episodes, I hope you understand what I'm tryna say, yeah?" Will implied. "It is more like, no one expected me to direct a series with all the other projects," Will tried to explain the situation.
"Haha… Now I get it," She laughed at the thought of not being able to understand what he was trying to say at first.
"Yeah, well the thing is. Since I'm involved in the project, we can with no worry use my name and fame. We can put up and show the theme of six friends. I myself can be involved in the marketing process. In the promos, I can just give some extra time and do it so it might gain some spotlight. The idea of six friends being Will Evans's next big hit sounds nice to me," Will said and every word made a lot of sense when it is about the marketing ways.
Will's plan was to make great profits from the fame he gained. He in fact was fully aware of how the general public looked at him. Literally, a Starmaker. Which was basically a huge thing. Yet, it was true and Will was ready to make good use of it.
"That actually sounds like a great plan. I mean, we all know when [Friends] got out it would gain its popularity right away because it would be that good, and as you said, the brand name would affect it a lot, but your plan sounds even better because there is no way that someone would not want to watch anything created by you," Susan said and laughed.
"Yeah, it would be even more special once they got to know something else," Will hinted at something that Susan couldn't seem to understand.
"What more?" She asked. Curiosity was clearly visible on her face.
"You will know," He said and stood up to end his little talk with Susan.
Will Evan was planning to compose the theme song of [Friends] by himself. It was due to so many reasons. [Friends] itself was something that people loved for years and watched all over again from the beginning with no end. Will knew this. The theme song had a special meaning in every one of the fan's hearts.
There were several reasons why the fans loved the theme song. The obvious reason being that it was [Friends] theme song, and along with that, several others.
The video of 'I'll be there for you' was iconic because it features the "Friends" cast singing along, playing music, and even grabbing instruments from The Rembrandts as they tried to perform the song. With the show being released, the song became a huge hit with that too.
What more proof would be needed if the song itself became a huge hit? The popular song by The Rembrandts actually became a #1 single on the American pop charts. It had hit #1 on the "US Mainstream Top 40 Billboard" and also took a weekly #1 spot in Scotland and Canada.
The more fans loved the theme song, the more it got popular. It in fact also hit the charts in almost 10 countries and topped the "Billboard Hot 100 Airplay" chart for eight whole weeks. Quite a huge achievement if basically anyone really thinks about it.
"I really wonder what you are planning, Mr. Will," Susan said, wanting to know what Will's plans were.
"Well, the surprise will be ruined. But alright, let me tell you, I will be composing the theme song by myself. Trust me when I say this, the theme song is going to change lives. If I did it correctly, I'm 102% sure that anywhere the fans hear the tune, they would go all up and beyond singing along," Will said knowing the true meaning behind his words.
Will remembered how the song had to be re-recorded due to how popular it was. The original theme, which was just under one minute long, had to be recorded later as a three-minute pop song.
People mainly loved it a lot knowing that "I'll Be There for You" was an upbeat song about travelling, dead-end jobs, and friendship, which made them remember what [Friends] was truly about. In fact, that was how much they loved the whole series.

"The comics itself was sold more than we can ever imagine, and not just that, three-million online reads after the launch of comic books," Ross was talking to his assistant and explaining how good the sales are going after the launch of Marvel comic books
In fact, he felt ultimately happy with the numbers that were on his screen.
"Yes, sir. With all the characters being rebooted, it just increased the fame by so many points. Our sales have almost doubled by the numbers and just keep increasing. The best part is that a lot of young kids are getting to know about marvel thanks to the app,"
His assistant looked happy as ever too. With a genuine smile on her face, she kept sharing the details they analyzed ever since the launch of the app.
On the other hand, Ross was extremely happy with how things are going for him career-wise and in his personal life. Ever since he met Will Evans, his life turned upside down in a good way. He was earning more than he ever earned for the past couple of months and the company's worth kept increasing every second. Regardless of how things are going, he still had a gut feeling of wanting to prove himself.
"Yeah, keep giving me all that good news, by the way, how is Stan Lee and everyone else doing?" Ross asked, expecting a positive answer.
Since he was the CEO, it was a part of the job description to know what the employees were doing. Especially a valuable employee like Stan Lee.
"Everyone is doing great, the atmosphere of the company has never been good, and the best part is everyone is busy with something or another. The enthusiasm just keeps growing," She said while still having a smile on her face.
"That's great. Wanna hear some good news?" Ross questioned with a smirk.
"Yeah?"
"I got a call just some time ago from DreamVision. They said that the pre-production for Ultimate Spiderman is going to start soon," Ross said while clapping his hands in excitement.
"That is great," His assistant chirped in happiness.
Good times had just begun.
