Chapter 125:

“That just leaves the reports and work behind your new project, [Liberty City]. Based on the script, I would suggest starting the casting process as soon as possible, and if you want to direct this, I can start sending out feelers in the open market and other studios and our own agency for suitable casts. What do you have in mind?” Amanda asked finally.

Will mulled over the information that he wanted to give to her in his head for a few seconds and replied, “Well, I already have a few ideas for the lead role, as well as a few ideas regarding how the actor for the antagonist roles are meant to be like, and I already have an idea for an actor in support, I believe Wilson Francis, whom I met at Krown Studio’s Party would do perfectly in the support role.”

He had met Wilson Francis at the Krown Studio’s success party for [A Bullet to Kill] after he had his talk with Colt Miller. Wilson was a Caucasian man, with brown hair and brown eyes. He was a little on the shorter side, and he would do remarkably as a supporting actor in [Liberty City]. He intended Wilson and Leo to show a good friendship in the film. They’d form over in the Vercetti’s money laundering business, and Wilson’s character, Carlo, would introduce Mario to the Vulpe’s eventually.

Amanda had a weird feeling in her gut when Will danced around mentioning his pick for the lead character, and she was sure she knew who he was talking about, but she had to be sure. “You’re casting the kid that you’ve let sleep at the office on the third floor to be the lead for this film, aren’t you? Will, he doesn’t even look like a gangster! If his acting is up to par, he would fit in a romantic comedy at best. He is way too skinny for the gangster role you’re setting him up for.” She tried to change his mind.

Will shook his head. He should’ve known that Amanda would figure it out, “I know he is too skinny for now, but that will change. Robert was skinny for [Sherlock Holmes], and we got him up to snuff. Leo will do it, too, I have faith in the kid. Not only that, the fact that he is nothing like a gangster in appearance is what I want to show to people. The first idea is to not judge a book by its cover; the other is that his innocent appearance is what will make people underestimate him in the film when he takes up the mafia life.” He explained.

And now that she had been given a lead role in [500 days of Summer], she couldn’t be happier despite her work life becoming more hectic. Also, she was working alongside Clark Reed! She had squeaked the first time she had found out and had taken a few minutes to calm her nerves again before she finally met him on set. Thankfully, she hadn’t done that again and was able to be perfectly professional while acting alongside him.

She was also given an agent from Dream Talent Agency after she had signed a contract with the agency. Everyone on set treated her respectfully, and while the director, Carlson Duckstein, could be a little harsh on everyone on set while filming, the professional nature, and respectful air on set, made her feel that she had made the right choice in joining the DTA.

She had been invited to dinners by her colleagues on multiple occasions, and she had accepted the invitations some of the times, but she had not let it devolve into anything else, as she remembered Will’s advice on getting a stable career first and then focus on relationships and other things in her life. She appreciated the advice he had given her, and her respect for the talented star had soared exponentially, knowing that he was looking out for her, even when she had lost all hope of ever landing a respectable role in the industry.

“I will need a little more expressive emotion in this next shot from you, Natalie. Your character needs to show that she is hiding a little remorse while she points out that Tom was right about soulmates in the end, but he was wrong about her. You need to keep your palm over his hand for at least five seconds before you take your leave and maintain eye contact with him when you say that you’re happy that he’s doing well. Clark will take care of the rest.” Director Carlson explained, breaking her off from the reverie.

She nodded and got back to rehearsing and rehashing her lines. She was right; she couldn’t be happier about how her life had turned out. And it was all thanks to Will Evans.
