My Hollywood System

Chapter 210:

“Dream Vision has grown a lot. From the way it started, it has come a long journey, I mean, [Catch Me If You Can] is on its way to crossing 100 million dollars. It’s like they’ll never fail this way, not this project but any project that Will Evans puts his hand or mind,”

“Ah, who says? It’s just beginner’s luck. You yourself just said that they are a new company, and if we really think in a larger context of Hollywood, they are barely starting,”

“Well, I disagree with my own words, just see the numbers and you’d have a totally different view on this–”

“Nah, Will Evans is just very innovative and is setting up trends that are somehow well-received by the public. Quick successes always sum up to quick downfalls. Will Evans would fall sooner or later,”

Hearing the two reporters talk among themselves, another person joined their conversation. All of them were from the same company.

“Well, I agree with both of you. But even if Will was going to fall, he would be one of the most popular people in Hollywood and well, I missed such a huge opportunity, and that’s like a massive loss for me,” Reporter 3 quiped with a disappointed look.

The other two reporters were slightly surprised by hearing what he was saying.

At the end, when reporter 3 sighed loudly, one among them couldn’t help but ask what it was about.

“What do you mean by a wasted opportunity?” Reporter 1 asked.

“You had a chance to act in a big movie or what? Don’t tell me you got an offer from a porno?” Reporter no. 2 asked, making everyone laugh.

“I wish, but no, that’s not it. It’s just when [The Blair Witch Project] was getting a lot of coverage and when Will started Dream Vision, Will was doing some interviews, back then. And I remember how Will Evans sat right in front of me, yet I didn’t give much thought nor tried to get to know him better, because well... Obviously I wasn’t aware how he’d grow at such a rapid pace,” The reporter 3 sighed again with a shrug which showed, ‘I’m disappointed at myself too’.

The others laughed hearing his story.

“That’s totally understandable, you wouldn’t have known even if someone betted on Will at the time, considering it was a smooth way to the top. Don’t feel bad about it, at least you get to feel bad knowing Will was in front of you, but reporters like us don’t have such a story,” Another person chirped in.

“Ah! Forget about it, the more I think about it, the more it feels I should have talked with Will trying to give the dude an exposure,”

The three reporters who were talking among themselves were from a very big media company. It was popular among the Americans as it was a company which gave out every little spicy news of Hollywood, weekly. Thus, it was named ‘Hollywood Weekly’.

Regardless of the cliche name, the company itself made billions of profits within months. And it was all thanks to the dramas and scandals that were sold among the fans which were made by the reporters, and some were true stories.

The company controlled a lot of public opinion of Hollywood stars thanks to its reach.

“If it makes you feel any better, yes you should have,” Reporter 2 said in disbelief.

But both he and Kylie decided to go to the EC games announcement.

People were scattered everywhere, and some sat in the spot where EC games were doing the announcement of their upcoming games.

Although not many people were present at the location, they had just announced two new games for the next year.

Arnold, who was the head of EC Studio walked up to the stage, wearing a black suit which made his personality appear sharper. Nevertheless, the reason he was on the stage was to make the final announcement of the day.

“I know you all are waiting for the announcement that we teased in a movie last year–”

As he said that, a huge cheer erupted from the crowd. Many people started to gather at the place where the announcement was being made.

“Woohooooooooo!” “Yes! That’s it!” “C’mon! Give it!” Different encouraging words were heard as they were waiting for this moment.

“But–”

“Booooooo!” People made a displeasing sound.

“I feel like I’m not the appropriate person to make this announcement. Everyone, Will Evans!”

As soon as Arnold announced his name, the focus was shifted to the corner of the little stage where Will was already waiting. The audience went silent in surprise

The reporters who had their mics ready to report about the new video game which was sponsored by none other than Dream Vision, went silent all of a sudden.

“The fucking rumour is true!” “Oh hello Will!” “Yesssssssss!”

Suddenly, a huge round of cheers, claps and voices went up making the tension of surprise cease away. The faces were plastered with smiles, excitement and little more excitement considering how Will Evans was in front of them.

Taking the microphone, Will walked to the front to face the audience.

Originally, the idea was that Will would not participate in the gaming expo. But as he knew how big GTA games were going to be, and how much impact they would have on the gaming community as a whole, he decided to join the little ceremony.

“Hello everyone, ladies and gentlemen, so good to see you all!” The crowd applauded once again. “Thank you so much for the warm welcome. I wanted to talk a bit about how well people have embraced [Liberty City] and how it was a movie which is very dear to my heart. With the movie being released, the idea of GTA came...Just like that. And, when I thought of everyone experiencing the world of GTA, not as viewers but as players... I knew I had to make this a reality,” Will said while the crowd cheered again.

The initial people who had gathered on the spot were now multiplied by at least seven the number there was. And the cheers just kept getting louder.

“With that, I present to you the trailer of the newest gaming sensation all the video gamers would be impatient to play and experience... [GTA: Vice City!]” Will said, and the trailer of the game rolled on the huge screen behind him, and silence descended throughout the huge hall.
