12.17 a.m.

‘Ah, why do I always want to complete scripts at night?!’ Ian scolded his nocturnal self.

Leaning back in his chair, he turned his head left and right to stretch.

Looking at the screen in front of him, he realized that he was nowhere near the end. ‘This is going to take some more time, might as well as bring a coffee to keep company.’

Ian’s thoughts were completely a mess. His mind library was being updated every now and then, keeping things neat, yet the headache he get while going through it was unbearable. It was almost the same while rewriting scripts.

Walking down the stairs, the lights turned on, and all Ian wanted was to make a cup of coffee that could keep him alive and kicking until he decides ‘that’s it for today.’

While walking and making his coffee, he was thinking about the actors for the movie itself.

Since he was always the casting director, he had to make sure the perfect role was taken by someone who could build up the character in their own way.

Ian never wanted to just ‘copy’ the movie from his original world, but he wanted to add his own touch to whatever he created.

After creating a few movies and getting both positive and negative critics, he realized that it was not just about fulfilling the wishes of the people from his previous world—especially not just taking the points of the previous world people, but also adapting them to fit this world.

The people in this world had their own views on movies based on popular movies.

Nevertheless, he knew experimenting with movies could possibly bring out more good in Hollywood—the major experiment would be Avatar, which was supposed to be released within one month.

“What is this even?” Mason asked as he shook his head scrolling down the internet.

Mason was in his office alone. And yes, for the shock after reading the articles, comments, and everything, he was shocked.

There were pictures of Ian. But not alone, with Scarlett. They were laughing, holding hands, and talking over the meal they were sharing.

Mason couldn’t help but smile at the pictures. He was aware of what kind of a young man Ian was, playful, and romantic yet responsible for his actions, which was also the reason for his smile.

‘I’m pretty sure the dude knows what is going on behind his back’ Mason thought while trying to read the comments which were both positive and negative, yet the old man also knew these sorts of scandals are stuff that the Hollywood fans looked forward to.

“Can I come in?” his assistant’s head peaked through his door.

“Yeah, come in, please. What happened?”

“Mrs. Bird is here. She said she wanted to discuss something in hurry, and the meeting was totally unplanned. Also, it was something about Resident Evil, can I let her in?”

“Yeah, sure. I don’t have anywhere else to be right?”

Ian was going through vivid emotions after reading the comments everywhere about his little scandal.

Even after two years of being and working in the industry, he still had the habit of knowing what people thought of him, and most of the time… the comments were pretty good.

The fans—especially girls, were head over heels for how talented, charismatic, and good-looking the young director is.

What made Ian laugh was how every time reporters found their way to get something out of every little time he spent with a girl in public. ‘They truly have some sort of talent’ he thought.

|| SCARLETT JOHNSON, IAN RENNER; ON A DATE?

The Hollywood fans found another situation to obsess over. Ian Renner the young resident director, talk of the town, the influential young man who climbed his way to the top and continuously kept proving that he deserved to be on top, was found in the Red Marine Restaurant with Scarlett Johnson.

Scarlett Johnson was an actress who was almost invisible in the industry until Ian found and proved her talents.

Revealing that much could possibly open many eyes and give different ideas.

Check the pictures for yourself —----------> (Pictures of Ian and Scarlett)

Scarlett Johnson, first came in front of our eyes as Rachel in Batman Begins which was also a movie written and directed by the award-winning director, Ian Renner.

But the question is, did they sleep together? Are they dating? Is this why Scarlett keeps getting roles in movies directed by Ian? Can we expect Scarlett to be in future movies by Ian? (Trust me, the questions are endless)

If the spotlight was to be pointed towards Scarlett, recently there were MANY rumors about how people assumed that Scarlett and Ryan were dating. The way they looked at each other, talked at each other, and even how they behaved in the interviews were taken into notice and the word was spread.

But with this…. ||

The article made Ian almost choke in his own saliva. He was laughing inside due to how the writer had made Ian and Scarlett appear to the public. What made Ian laugh more internally was how he had expected the article to be.

[@Marinewhat: That is one lucky girl over there. If Ian is giving roles considering how good they were in bed, trust me, I give good—ifykyk. Also, I don’t think more than half of this article is true. But whatever, good news :>]

[@Selena.Twinkle: Now this is going to stay here for a while. Also, she is very beautiful. He is very handsome. Ship name anyone? Ialett? Scarian? Weird]

[@Skyisnotbluebutgrey: Imagine Ian reading all of our comments- haha.. I love you man, date whoever tf you want. We support you, and she is talented so there’s nothing to complain about….]

[@Serendipity.wholesome: Yuck, what?! No. A huge ass NO. I don’t wanna see this combination, and rather than this… I’d love it if Bale and Scarlett were together. How many actresses were with Ian? Shameless?]

The comments were filtered, yet there was negativity among the supporters. And that was normal, what are we talking about again? Hollywood. This also meant, do not expect 100% support because there’s no such thing.

It took around two-three days for the hype of Ian and Scarlett’s scandal to die down.

It happened only because another actress effed hard while making herself look like a fool in front of the public–on the road. Explaining it from scratch, a B-grade Hollywood actress got into a fight with a person when they had mentioned how poor her acting was.

And that fight became a huge thing which made even top magazines talk about it—making the noise of Ian and Scarlett die down.

But something else kept everyone occupied already. The election results.

This election for the senator position was going to be extremely different from the elections of the past few years and everyone knew it. The parties who held the utmost power inside the public died down considering how the elector Christopher came to the top with the marketing campaigns.

During every one of those, he hadn’t forgotten to show what sort of plans he had in mind for the State, which took almost every participant by surprise; because no other elector had straightened up with the guts to truly proceed and show what they wanted to uplift in the State. But Christopher did.

Yet, that made many people get mind-blown. Their views changed, perspectives changed, and especially, their sides changed.

“Good evening, This is breaking news. RCM News now projects Christopher Grey as the winner in this special California Senate election tonight. Christopher Grey, the projected winner beat the candidate, J. F Moor, who had the highest percentage of votes in the last poll—but during the official poll of this year—Christopher Grey succeeded in being the projected winner in the election with a difference of 57,689 votes. The votes are still being calculated. But, Christopher Grey is building the lead.

Let’s go to James Parlour at the big board, with the latest number of votes. James Parlour, what do we have?”

“Alright Mike, so what just happened, the votes just counted were around 5000 votes. It was about a third of the remaining votes in California. Christopher won 91% of the votes of the new votes that just came in. So, it pushes Christopher for 51%. Again, still, more than ten thousand votes are to come in California.

You can see the dramatic effect of these updates from the Cali updates shown. There are still votes to come in, and potentially according to estimations, it would be beneficial to Christopher Grey. The opportunity for him to build that lead is north of 50, 000.

And, if we see this, I think it is easily proven. It seems clear right now, how the percentages are because Christopher had built a good lead. A 1.5% threshold can make the margins cross, but realistically, Christopher is the potential winner for now.”

*Switches off to the black screen*

Ian knew his investments were not at bay. And it was the best news he got so far during the day, which also gave me the confidence to have a peaceful sleep.

Yawning while stretching his hands, he walked up the stairs, to get the sleep he looked forward to.
