Chapter 17 Here and there
Jerry is in charge of making the stories happen, his work is to talk to the executives of tv networks to use our work for their show. Now we have to produce a series. Series needs a lot of writing. I have to create
a month-long script. I will be so busy.
My brother is bothering me so much for a project.
Sis what happened I asked you for so long about a story. But your priority is always Jerry, sometimes I think who is your brother Jerry or me.
I asked you to read my works on top of my table. I had so much in my room you will definitely like one of them.
I read them already. I don't like any of them They are shallow, I won't invest in a movie that won't sell. Even Jerry don't like them.
Did you really read all of them?
I did.
Andrei, did you read the books on my table?
I read some of them, Andrei said while busy on his phone.
Did you like any of them?
I like some of them, but I think they are boring. You need to add more kissing scenes and bed scenes to boost the interest of the audience you know.
Which one is that?
Here! Andrei hand me a blue notebook. It is the Neighbor.
I like this story. I believe this is movie worthy. I always based my story on Filipino culture. Our movies don't cater to a lot of kissing scenes and bed scenes. But if you want to add those I will put some on the story. But that's only because you requested, I still want the original story.
I checked the script again then just marked the part where I can insert the kissing scene and bed scene. The story should be a plain and innocent love between neighbours. But per the request of Andrei and Drake, I made it darker. They became neighbours with benefits.
Ate you satisfied now? I asked the two.
Yeah, I think it's better don't you think Drake?
I like it better this way. I don't really like watching a movie which is far from reality. Women are so different now. They are so unlike your stories. They are more aggressive now you know.
I don't know. I answered my brother in a sarcastic way.
Now we just need, actors for this. Lisa will be the leading lady. Drake said, he is excited to make his own project.
Yeah, I agree her skills are already good because of her experience. We just need the male lead. Andrei seconded.
I suggest one of you be the male lead. The two look at each other when I proposed that.
This will save you 2 to 5 Million. You know the price of Tom. That's the money you are saving. Besides you had your first acting gig before this already.
Hmm... I will be directing so I can't do it. Besides I'm not good.
How about you Andrei?
I want to but, will you trust Lisa with me? Andre asked Drake directly.
I trust you more than any other man. Drake replied. They high five each other then lead to a light hug.
This is it then. Your first project. Neighbors starring Lisa and Andrei.☐☐☐
