Chapter 174:

Will and Jeffery were looking around the set. Something they had been noticing lately was how relaxed all the actors were. Will found it pretty convenient during the shootings. Since they had absorbed the personalities of each of their roles, it took less time to get over a specific scene because it was almost as if they were being themselves now, more or less.

It has been two weeks since the shootings began. Today, it was the day when they were going to shoot the promo for the TV Show. It was because Will wanted to start the promotions next month without wasting time.

The theme of the promo was simple. Six friends, talking in a cafe. Sounds pretty standard, but the point of attraction was how Will would join the whole scene.

“So, Monica and Rachel should be talking, Joey, you do you. I want y’all to look like you are laughing and having fun with each other, alright? Chandler and Ross can talk with Phoebe. I will join in here, and then you can drop the talk and focus on what I’m saying,” Will explained, and they understood how it would be.

Will had hired a company that does these promotional channels to create one for [Friends]. As he explained the whole theme for the in-charge, the person had said how cool it sounds and would look even more attractive considering what kind of show [friends] would be.

“Action!” Will said out loud.

The six friends who sat in the cafe started talking and laughing as they were making actual jokes.

“I was like, what the hell was happening?” Chandler said, and everyone laughed. On the inside, there was a real talk about how his parents found something he shouldn’t be doing.

“What was mom’s reaction?” Monica asked.

“She was disappointed, clearly, but not surprised,” His sarcasm was on point.

After a while, Will joined them.

Walking in, he looked at them and walked towards them. “Do you all want to be stars?” He asked.

“Cut! Okay,” Will said while being on the set and went back to see if it was a good shot, which it was.

He wanted to be in the promo because of how famous he had become. He had designed the theme and the content to take advantage of how his fans viewed him.

Overall, the common idea Will wanted to give out was that these six people would be the next stars in the industry brought up by Will. Due to this, he knew that the people’s curiosity would increase.

“That was a good one,” Susan said, looking at the screen with Will.

Susan was on the set to help with things around, checking on the set, and she knew her help would be needed.

“Yeah, it would work in no time,” Will said.

Then, the attendant who understood it translated it for Sarah, “He says you are very beautiful, Senora, and he is ashamed to ask five American dollars for this picture, but if he does not, his father will beat him.”

“That’s a pretty hustle, kid. Four. Qatro,” Sarah said.

The boy took the four dollars she offered, and she watched the snapshot develop. It was a good photograph of her, the wind lightly ruffling her hair, expression thoughtful, slightly sad.

It was easily recognizable as the one Reese carried in 2029. She slipped it into her short pocket.

“Mil trescientos...fifteen dollars American.” The attendant said.

As she paid him, a sound of a distant thunder roll was audible. The boy yelled something in Spanish and ran away.

“Cut! This is the last scene. Can’t you even do it without any flaw? Run like someone is chasing you, or you wouldn’t be alive if you didn’t. I want that tension enough for a stranger to ask what you said before running. It is all in action, one more?” The director said, not being happy with how the final part of the scene turned out.

“Action!” The clapperboard came in front of the camera, and the boy started running again.

“What did he say?” Sarah asked, looking at the guy who had just run away.

“There is a storm coming in,” The attendant said with an accent.

Sarah gazed at the thunderheads building up out over the desert. Heat lightning pulsed in their depths.

Director noticed how good June’s acting was. Her emotions, facial expressions and even every dialogue looked like she owned the role and knew the character from the heart.

Unlike the first few scenes that took a lot of attempts to explain, the director noticed that June picked her character up very quickly. She was impressively nailing her role.

“I know,” Sarah said quietly.

‘The camera craned up as she pulled away, driving across the flat desert on a ribbon of highway. A brilliant flash crescendos from horizon to horizon out at the world’s rim.’ That was the end of the movie.

“Cut!” The director said. “Give me five. Let me check this up real quick,” He said and went through the shot thrice to ensure nothing was messed up.

He noticed the last moment of ‘I know’ could have done better. Even if it’s the final part of the movie, he wanted not to disappoint Will in any way.

“One more, quiet on the set!”
