My Hollywood System

Chapter 179:

Currently, Andrew and Will were sitting in his office. On the table, there was a contract that he was signing through.

He had already gone through a lawyer and understood what the contract meant and what benefits it would give. In the end, he was satisfied and had decided to immediately sign it.

“Hello, Spiderman,” Will said with a smile.

“Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.”

“You deserved it.”

He took the papers of contract from Andrew and checked all the places Andrew signed.

With this, Andrew was officially Spiderman.

The contract wasn’t just about the movie role of Peter Parker. It also entails that for the next five years, Andrew needed to be the voice of Spiderman for animations and games.

Furthermore, Andrew Griffin would naturally join DTA.

Every actor Will had recruited till now had to sign up with his agency before getting the role. None of them were stupid enough to turn it down, knowing well that the terms that DTA was given them were pretty good.

They were basically skipping 10-15 years of struggle by immediately becoming the main lead in a movie.

After this, the first job Andrew had to complete was to do the dubbing for Spiderman in [Ultimate Spider-Man].

Since Will was planning to release the show next month, the dubbing needs to go rapidly as the promos will start first.

“I have already arranged trainers for you to get in better shape to play Spiderman. He has a very athletic body, so it’s best if you could learn gymnastics too. You will get a schedule from Jennifer Charles who’s also going to act as your agent for the next few months.”

Will explained what Andrew needed to do. Even though superhero movies were very lucrative and would always get a business of hundreds of millions, many times actors would also refrain from them if their role is too big and won’t end in one movie.

It was because it was necessary for them to stay in shape for all the years that their character is alive. They could be asked to return to do a cameo anytime.

Even Andrew had just signed the contract for three movies. Will was giving him 750k USD for the first movie, half of which he would be getting before the filming and half after it.

“I understand. It seems like my days are going to be very busy.”

“Yeah, at least for the next few months but you are going to be famous all over the world. [Spiderman] is going to be the widest release in the studio’s history.”

Andrew just nodded at that, feeling happiness rise up in his chest. He already had a lot of examples before him to know that Will wasn’t exaggerating or lying.

But before he left, Will said something that really shocked him.

“And one more thing, I got a condo for you to live in. It’s in Beverly hills.”

Hearing that, Andrew couldn’t help but show a shocked expression. For a moment, he even thought Will was joking.

“Sir- I mean, Will, you didn’t have to do that for me. My rented apartment is enough currently and now that I have money, I could easily get a better apartment.”

“It will take time for you to get a new apartment. Paparazzi won’t leave you till then. They probably already have a clue about you, so you and your family need to be careful.”

Will was creating stars left and right. Paparazzi took the biggest profit out of it as anything related to Will sold a lot.

They tried their best to take shots of any and every new actor/actress Will would become interested in. Leo and RDJ learned how to handle them over the time they had to face them, but the cast of [Friends] was having struggles where they were in New York City.

A paparazzi even followed Jennifer Aniston to her hotel room and the security needed to be heightened after that.

“You could pay its rent after the filming of [Spiderman] ends or rent another apartment. But for now, move into the condo.”

Will said nothing after that but smiled at the overly joyed Andrew. Although the amateur actor did not want to show his happiness, it was prominent with the smile that was on his lips.

He was very grateful for Will.

After a few minutes of talking a bit more about the plans, Andrew left Will’s office but not before Will wished him luck and congratulations.

As soon as he left, Will got comfortable in his chair, and thought that everything was going well for him. It gave him a bit of a bad feeling, but he shook it off.

Thinking about something, he opened the system.

He had used a million fame points to buy Sam Raimi’s Spiderman scripts.

As a reward for earning over 100 million dollars with an original movie, he had gotten the Hobbit series.

The Hobbit was one of the best novels by Tolkien and set within his fictional universe.

It follows the quest of home-loving Bilbo Baggins, the titular hobbit, to win a share of the treasure guarded by a dragon named Smaug. Bilbo’s journey takes him from his light-hearted, rural surroundings into the more sinister territory.

Hobbits was a fictional race of people created by Tolkien and they came in all shapes and sizes.

The Hobbit series was something unique and world-class written in Will’s previous world.

In fact, In terms of literary attempts to capitalize on Tolkien’s popularity, many authors attempted to copy his style after the author’s death.

During the time when it was first published, it was an obsession as people loved it and analysed it until they termed it a masterpiece that can’t be recreated.

There is even a book on the made up languages of Tolkien and how to write, read and pronounce what was made.

These examples tell us that Tolkien’s work had gained a following that was unprecedented for any other author.

All in all, The Hobbit was a masterpiece and Will was thinking about it; about how the work has never been out of print. Its ongoing legacy encompasses many adaptations for stage, screen, radio, board games, and video games.

Will’s plan was to write The Hobbit and publish it along with Harry Potter as Terry asked him to do another novel.

Knock! Knock!

His thoughts were interrupted by the knocks on his office door. He gave permission after a quick while and Alexia appeared, looking the same as ever.

“Sir, you got an invitation for Ashton Banasiewicz’s birthday party. It’s tomorrow.”

Allen’s CEO, Ashton was someone who traditionally threw a party every year on his birthday. It was not like he was obsessed with birthdays at an old age but it was just a way for him to make business deals and hold a gathering.

Many of his friends and rivals would be invited to the party. Since he wasn’t really close to Asthon, Will was surprised to hear Alexia’s words.

It was the very first time Will got the invitation, which could only mean two things. Either, he considered Will as a friend or a rival. Will’s guts said there’s a high possibility for it to be the latter.

“Should I reply negatively?” Alexia questioned noticing Will was not saying anything.

Normally, the answer would be straight-out no, since Will did not enjoy attending parties that much.

“No, reply that I will be there,”

The words took Alexia by surprise. She composed herself within a milli-second and nodded before walking out of the office, thinking that there must be a reason.

‘It would be interesting to meet him.’

Will wanted to go to the party just because he thought it would be a good chance to connect with the other CEOs and chairmans from Big 6, especially Asthon who he had never met before.

It would be no big deal considering Will knows most of them already. But connections were considerably important.

Moreover, he wanted to get the opportunity where he could meet more famous actors. That way, he would be able to find actors for his upcoming movies, and on the other hand he also needed a lot of guest cameos for [Friends].

‘Let’s hope everything goes well at the party. Let’s check it.’

Thinking that, he opened up his system where the clairvoyance skill was present.

He looked at the clairvoyance and the next thing he knew was how he found himself in a banquet filled with people.

His vision was blurry and he wasn’t able to move his hands or mouth but his body was moving on its own.

He thought that this must be Ashton’s party. Different people had different emotions around him but he noticed many of them looking frightened. He could also see Robert and Jeffery rushing towards him.

It was not one-hundred percent clear, but Will was able to figure things out here and there.

He suddenly looked down and met with Uncle Ben who had a hardened expression on his face. Blood was all over his shirt like he had been stabbed by someone.

“Will…” Uncle Ben looked towards him and muttered and it was at that moment, his vision returned.

Will felt as if the temperature of his office had increased by a few more degrees. Uneasiness covered his heart and the four walls around him felt empty for a quick second.

[You have encountered a terrifying event using clairvoyance.]

[You can’t run away from it. You are recommended to move with caution as the next 24 hours are going to be vital for you.]

Looking at the system notifications, Will gulped and maybe in years, his complexion looked pale.
