The My Hollywood System

Chapter 34

"You have to make this film part of the Annual Film Festival."

Will said, explaining that he would not back down from this point. The original film [The Blair Witch Project] gained its popularity from the Annual Film Festival, to begin with.

After discussing it with Carl, George smiled faintly and said.

"Then we have our own deal. I see a promising young man inside you; I just hope that instinct is not a false alarm."

Will just smiles at her words, and then they discuss further, and after that, Will returns to his apartment.

*Tap***Tap*

Will knocks on the door of his apartment and is once again reminded that he has not fixed his doorbell. He decided to leave it as it is because he would buy it soon.

As the door opened, Will could see June looking at him with loving eyes, trying to suppress his expectations. He was wearing a pair of jeans and a tank top.

Without giving him a chance to react, Will pounces at him, hugging his body tightly,********** pinned to his chest. He dived to her lips, immediately kissing her, making June widen her eyes in surprise.

The kiss did not last long as he parted from her and smirked on her face, her mischievous smile carrying a smile on June's face as well.

"Guess what?"

He asked in a voice that barely hid his excitement. June, who had already guessed the reason behind her childish excitement, still asked, her eyes raised as if completely curious.

"What's going on?"

"We got a distributor!! And not only that, but also a very lucrative contract."

Will replied, a smile still on his face.

"Yay, it's in. I'll prepare something nice to celebrate."

june said as she dragged him inside.

Afterwards, she cooks chicken nuggets and pizza while Will brings coke. They started laughing and eating happily, tickling and touching each other's bodies.

After eating and finally sighing in satisfaction, Will calls Jeffrey.

He gave her good news. The rude man, Jeffrey, who heard this almost crying out of happiness, constantly yelled at Emilia to come and listen to the good news throughout the call.

Will called Josh and Mike also– Ahem. He called Marcus and Zach too.

Everyone was very happy and excited to hear this good news, and their movie finally went live on the big screen.

He told the main cast and Jeffey about how the contract would go and how things would go, including talk about taxes.

Afterwards, he called Benjamin and told him about it, and his uncle could not help but jump out of his chair and congratulate him repeatedly.

– One more thing, Will. Sign the contract as an individual, not a company. It would be better that way, and you would have to pay far less taxes.

Benjamin suggests.

Will ponders over the matter and thinks that it is better to do it as Benjamin told him.

They talked a little more, and Benjamin gave Will the Walters Law firm number. A medium-sized firm that can help Will through contract complications.

He thanked his uncle and decided on a call.

"In the near future, my film will be in theaters."

He muttered and smiled widely.

The next day, Will is ready to go to the Walters Law firm to see a lawyer. It was then that he got a call from an unknown number.

He picked it up, and a rude voice came out from there.

– Hello, is this Mr Will Evans? This is Henry Matt from Lauson Studios. Do you remember me?

Will takes a moment to realize that Lauson's studio is one of the studios that has rejected his film. Henry is the CEO of the company and has been there during the exhibition.

But they have rejected it, saying they want to focus more on real films.

"Yes, I remember you. Why did you call me, Mr Matt?" He asked, wondering why they had suddenly changed their view of the film.

– Actually, our company recently watched Blair Witch again, and we feel it is much better than today's horror movie. We are interested in buying the film for 200 thousand dollars. What the hell are you saying?

Will did not expect such an offer and took the time to accept it. What the hell's going on? Within two days, he had two offers.

It seemed like he was finally in his lucky phase. But in the end, he shook his head and replied.

"Sorry, but I've got a better offer from another studio. And that's one I really like, too. I'm sorry, but I have to refuse."

The voice on the other side of the phone did not really expect rejection and quickly said.

- Don't be too hasty. At least let's meet up and discuss some terms. You haven't signed a contract with another company, have you?

"Not yet, but there's been a verbal agreement."

– Then, I'm sure studio Lauson can give you a better offer. Let's meet once to discuss it?

"Sorry, but I can't. I'm quite happy with the current terms, and I don't want to meet you. I'm sorry, but let's work together later in the future."

After saying that, Will decides on the call and goes to the law firm. But along the way, she keeps wondering why Henry called her after rejecting her once.

'And he wants to buy the film for $200 thousand? I should have told him that I gave that kind of money to my distributor like it was a dime.'
