Bab 233: MHS - Chapter 230

The person stepping on the stage surprised Will. He wasn't expecting to meet one of Hollywood's biggest celebrities of his world in this audition.

'Is he also a struggling actor?'

This was the first question that popped up in Will's mind. But now, he wasn't curious about the latter's situation. To him, Brad Pitt was a potential goldmine.

'Now, let's see if he has anything other than the same face.'

Having found a potential goldmine, Will leaned forward to observe the whole audition.

"Hello, I am Luke Newman." The man introduced himself.

"Hello, Luke," The judge replied in a nonchalant tone, and while staring at the script in his hand, he said, "You already have the script. My friend here will speak other dialogues for the other characters."

Luke nodded and turned towards the staff member who had a script in his hand.

"Joey, what would you do if you were omnipotent?"

Luke looked taken aback and showed displeasure, "Probably kill myself."

"Eh-Excuse me?"

Luke shrugged and, walking to the nearby chair on the stage, he replied with an expression of 'you know what I mean.'

"Hey, if little Joey is dead, then I got no reason to live."

"Joey, ahuh, 'OMNI'potent."

Luke stared at the script reader for a few minutes and then gave a low exclaim, "You are?!"

"Alright." The judge was observing his expressions, and after a while, he nodded, "Mr Luke, that was good. We will contact you if you're shortlisted."

Luke nodded with a slight smile, and as he was walking out, he suddenly felt an intense stare from the audition and couldn't help but turn around.

In one of the front seats was a masked guy.

'Who is he?'

Luke wondered while stepping out off the stage.

"How was he?"

"Pretty good," The judge replied, "We will give him another try. I think the scene where Joey finds out about his dad's affair would be a good test."

The staff member to his right nodded while saying, "That will surely showcase his character. Anyway, I will call in the next guy."

"Number 332…"

Behind the judges' panel, Will shook his head.

'He feels out of place.'

This was Will's first thought.

'Joey is portrayed as a dim-witted but good-natured guy. Brad Pitt, on the other hand, doesn't give the 'dim-witted' vibe. Not to mention, Joey is supposed to be Italian. I can't replace a black-haired Italian-looking actor with a full-blown blonde-haired actor.

'That will be too much. But that doesn't mean he's of no use to me.'

He took out his phone and noted down Brad Pitt's audition number and his name in this world, Luke Newman.

Just as he typed the name, a message prompt suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Congratulations on the success of [Spiderman]. The host has unlocked a chain quest!]

'What? No rewards?'

Will frowned. He had been waiting for the System's message prompt for a long time because [Spiderman] was a pretty big hit, and he was hoping for a good number of points to buy a few shows and begin his plan for Netflix.

'What happened to the reward?'

[Rewards for [Spiderman] are available.]

[However, if you choose to select rewards, you will lose the Chain Quest]

'Hm?' Will frowned, 'Will there be extra rewards or more rewards?'

[Host will gain multiplied rewards upon clearing each part of the Quest. However, he will lose rewards for [Spiderman] success.]

Will thought for a moment and asked, 'Can I see the next quest without having to reject the reward?'

[Not applicable.]

'What…' Will sighed. This was an unexpected turn of events.

'I need to reassess my plans.'

If he accepted the chain quest, he might have to wait for at least 7-8 more months to begin the Netflix project.

'Seven to eight months.'

His schedule was going to be extremely busy in the coming months, busier than he ever was.

Thinking about this, he couldn't but let out another sigh.

'Didn't I promise myself not to be a workaholic after that incident?'

Shaking his head, he turned towards the next audience member and began to observe the new applicants.

After a few minutes, however, he stood up and walked toward the applicants' waiting room.

Since this was an open audition, the staff roaming around assumed he was also a participant, and it wasn't hard for him to enter the waiting area. Although he couldn't go in too far, since then, the security would definitely interfere, and he would have to reveal his identity, which would only bring unnecessary attention.

Ten minutes later, Will walked out of the building.

He had taken a look at each of the applicants, and none of them was familiar people. He had somewhat expected this, and now that he had confirmed it, he took his leave.

The reason he had come here was out of intuition, and one way or another, it had worked out for him because he came across Brad Pitt.

As for the other actors within the waiting room, Will wasn't going to sit for them because if they were truly talented, they would pass through the rounds and would have an audition in front of him.

Walking up to his car, he sat in and just then, he heard a message.

-Ding!

June - Hi honey, call me when you're free. I have something important to talk about.

Will stared at it for a moment and unlocked the phone to call June.

"Hey, what's up?"

A familiar voice came from the other side.

— Hi Hon, where are you?

"Nearby studio, you wanted to talk about something. What happened?

— Ah, about that, well, we finished the movie shoot!

Just replied in excitement.

"You…finished? Didn't you just start it like a week ago?" Will was a bit taken aback. 'Isn't this too fast? Did they only have perfect shots?'

— Yeah, but did I tell ya' it would only take like ten days?

"Oh, I can't quite recall.

— Hmm, maybe it slipped out of my mind, and I forgot to mention it. Anyway, I called you because I have borrowed Emilia for a few weeks, haha

"No problem, you don't have to tell me this. You can do whatever you like."

— That's so sweet of you. But this is not the only thing I called you for.

"Oh, what else then?"

— I want to have a screening of the movie for you.

"A screening?"

Will paused for a few moments, and after a thought, he agreed.

"Alright, but inform me beforehand so I can have Alexia clear my schedule."

— Sure!

"Great, I will see you later tonight, then?"

— Um, actually, I will be at Emilia's place. She will be editing the movie, and I want to oversee the process. The Film Festival is also approaching soon, so I can't afford to distract myself.

"...Alright."

The call disconnected a few minutes later, and Will stared at the screen before shaking his head and driving the car back to the Dream Vision studios.

….

While Will was heading back to Dream Vision, the Foxstar Studios were about to go through a huge upheaval.

By now, it wasn't an unknown fact that there had been a big argument between the CEO of Dream Vision, Will Evans and their Managing Director, Colt Miller.

What exactly happened in the meeting was unknown, but there were rumours of Will Evans cutting ties with Foxstar. But questions like why and for what reason the situation escalated so quickly were unanswered.

And today, an old man stepped into the main building.

"Id," The security guard at the entrance of the building asked as his formality.

The old man smiled and pointed at the wall behind the young security guard, "That should be enough."

Taken aback, the security guard turned around.

On the wall behind him was a huge framed picture of the founder and previous CEO of Foxstar Studios — Spencer Miller.

"Ah, sir," The Security almost choked on his own saliva, "Welcome."

The old man nodded and walked in.

He had come unannounced, but he had come with determination.

"You're here, Dad." As soon as he reached the elevator, a young woman's voice came from behind.

Spencer turned around and smiled, "You have come. Let's go."

The young woman nodded and gestured at her father to enter the elevator.

Soon, the two of them were heading to the top floor.

"Dad, you didn't tell me why you called me here." The young woman asked.

She was in a meeting with the marketing when he received a call from her father, who then asked her to meet him near the elevator.

Having known him well, she knew it was better not to question him at that time. But now that they were heading towards the executive floors, she had a hunch in her mind about what this was all about, but she didn't want to overthink.

Hence she decided to ask the question plaguing her for the last half hour.

Spencer stared at his cane for a few moments, and then letting out a sigh, he asked, "I am sure you have heard about the last meeting between Colt and Will."

As the young woman nodded her head, Spencer added, "I am here to find out exactly how Colt fuck up the meeting."
