It's Railin.

Seeing this beautiful woman walk in with coffee, the corners of Ian's mouth hooked up with a smile.

"I've never been so excited," he muttered as he took a sip of hot coffee.

Since the release of the movie, their relationship has not been very good. It's not because of the problems that arose between them, but simply because Ian was very nervous about the whole situation with John Wick.

Ian had never been seriously in a relationship at some point in his nervousness, as he was used to, and he didn't decide to make things clear this time, but instead ignored the situation of communication with Raelyn entirely.

"How's it going?" she asked, sitting down in front of him. He sat in the chair across from him.

"It's good. I try to forget about my nervousness about the next ten days, which are important days, and I want to see how John Wick goes.

Raelyn sighed. Before she was ready to enter the room, she knew he must be thinking about something.

She knew what she could expect when she remembered that he had explained that knowing the game and John Wick's prowess would make him nervous.

"Ian, I know you've done your best with this movie, right?"

she asked him the same thing he'd been telling himself over and over again for the past few days.

"yes, it's ok. Thankfully, my prayers worked. "John Wick" made it into the top three. There was also "Karma" and "Death Realism", which made my life even harder.

Raelyn stood up, walked around him, and walked in front of him. She knelt down and brought them face to face.

"I've never seen you so nervous. She looked him in the eye and whispered

that Ian was a director, and that he always had to hold back his thoughts and feelings because he knew what others thought of him.

"I've never let you see me when I'm at my nervousest," he whispered back, holding out his hand. She took his hand, stood up, and sat on his lap. "Do you remember when I went to France to have some alone time?" he asked.

Railyn didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Throughout the process, I realized a lot of things. A lot of things that have helped me a lot. "

What do you mean?" Ian

sighed. In a way, the trip made him realize that his blessing - a curse or something else, a memory bank... He shouldn't have taken full advantage of it, but also the creative talent he brought from his previous life.

Another thing he realized was connected to everyone around him. Everyone includes his friends, Raelin, and his family - his uncle and Valerina.

"Hmm... How?" he asked himself, turning his chair slightly, causing both to turn in the other direction. "Rei, you know my history. I'm not a person who cares about others. If anything, I only care about myself and how I can succeed. Later I got hooked on the movie, uh, okay, let's jump to the part where I want to take care of the people who care about me.

Hearing his words, she frowned.

"Rei, that sounds crazy because I know what I need to focus on now is the next project, and everything else. But France made me realize that if one day I die, it is not the people who appreciate my films, but the people around me who feel it the most. It was a difficult time in France. You are one of the very few who care about me."

As he spoke, he kissed her softly on the lips.

With this kiss, his internal organs felt tingling.

"I just want to possess you here, Mr. Reina. Rei whispered, startling Ian. The corners of her mouth curled into a sexy smile and she shrugged her shoulders as if it weren't a big deal.

"Look what you want"

————————————

a man in his thirties walks down the street on Avalon Boulevard. He wears a small hat and a gray beard, and some would even consider him homeless.

He kept looking at his phone, holding a box of cupcakes in his hand, and turned left as he walked.

[The latest action blockbuster "John Wick" Ian Rayner is on the next city!]

his eyes widened as he started reading the article. He was still walking. Although he was a little upset by the noise of cars and stubborn ear pollution coming from all around, he couldn't help but keep reading so that he could pamper himself before going to the movies tonight.

[...... When we had the pleasure of interviewing the directors of "John Wick", their interpretation of "John Wick" was quite interesting. The questions include some extreme topics such as...].

When he became aware of his surroundings, he stopped before he could read any more.

He knocked on the door twice, walked into his home, and met his beautiful wife. This blonde woman, he promised to take care of her until death separates them.

"Are we going to the movies?" asked the man as soon as he walked into the room.

She saw his phone, and what he was reading, so she realized that another movie date was coming.

"John Wick?" he asked rhetorically.

Her eyes lit up when she realized what he was talking about. The movie was released some time ago, and as a huge fan of Hollywood, she would love to see it.

"Are you kidding? Keanu is so handsome in the movies!" she shouted, dancing awkwardly in front of him.

He smiled and walked back to get them ready to go to the movie, as he had already booked his tickets.

"Don't tell me you know the end, dear!" she shouted behind him.

He laughed again.

[the cinema]

and the two of them were right in front of the theater, waiting for the end of the last show. While the couple was struggling to wait in line with the others with popcorn in hand, some of the newcomers were engaged in worrying conversations.

"Karma isn't worth the hype, man. Like, even I thought it would be great. But I wish I hadn't spent that much money yesterday to see it, even though the whole theater was chartered.

"At least someone got the money" "

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that more than 75% of the people who watched the movie with us kept scolding the director when they left after watching the movie. I mean, we just think it's more valuable, you know. That damn hype makes it think it's the kind of movie that can be in the top 10 for months, you know?"

Only then did they find out that it was a group of men watching the newly released movie back-to-back.

Some of the people in this group even wore John Wick clothes.

"yes, but there's also a movie, 'Death Realism.' It's pretty good. You guys didn't watch me, I was invited to the premiere, and next week you'll know how popular it is, and believe me, it's as good as the trailer. "

Oh yes, your uncle must have given a lot of privileges... It has something to do with movies and everything, but, yes, we booked next week instead of this week, which is a shame. "

Hahaha... Shut up!"

The couple looked at each other.

"I've heard critics say bad things about Death Realism. She looked at the group of men and said to her husband.

"yes, I'm sure Ian Renner can surpass these two films. Considering they're all in the top three right now, it's a bit of a competition. "Death Realism" also airs on that OTT – "

Oh, well, let me think about it. I'll watch the movie before commenting. Statistically, every comment counts.

He kissed her on the forehead, and the bell rang to signal the end of the last movie.

"John Wick, here we come!"

the couple walked in with the flow of people.

There were already a lot of people waiting around and they walked in together, which was not the most pleasant thing.

Immediately afterward, they saw security guards walk in to make sure no one was harmed and that order was maintained.

"I can't believe Keanu Reeves – a new actor is going to be the lead man in 'John Wick'. I mean, they could have had a lot of good actors, you know. They could have had a lot of good actors, you know? Maybe they could have found someone who was more adept than someone who had only made one movie.

In a studio, a director chats with his friends. The colleagues didn't say anything, just laughed.

"What are you talking about?" asked one of them.

"Are you kidding

?" "What?" the director asked curiously.

The people around him usually laugh with him because he is the director, and the unspoken rule of laughing even if the joke is not funny stands out among them. But at this moment, considering that his conversation showed that he didn't know anything about Ian and Keanu, it made it impossible for the others to laugh even if they wanted to.

"Sir, haven't you seen the movie?" asked the other, curious.

"I haven't seen it. I didn't watch it because I felt that instead of watching some movies with new directors and actors, I would be better off watching "Kama" with my family. Honestly, I don't even understand why people hype it up and make it something that isn't worth it!" A

few hours later, the entire team and director arrived in the office theater, ready to watch the film.

While colleagues say they want to go to the theater to see the movie, the director hints that instead of wasting money and time on the road, they should pirate the movie from websites that have copies of the director and watch it in the theater.

The movie started quickly.

————————————

screen, the movie starts playing. The lights in the theater dimmed, and in the seats, the team and the director dropped their jaws when the movie began to play.

"It feels like watching a movie for the first time, no kidding," one said, while others agreed.

John unceremoniously threw the newspaper on the table, opened the cupboard, measured out a few tablespoons of coffee, and poured it into an old coffee pot.

When the coffee started to bubble, John opened the fridge and studied the contents for a minute or two before closing the froster and giving up on the idea of eating breakfast.

He poured himself a cup of coffee and sat down at the table. The newspapers were ignored. He drank coffee silently for a long time, contemplating to himself, and the loneliness was almost unsettling.

Suddenly, the phone on the wall rang.

John put down his glass and stared at the phone, his eyes tired.

He stood up and walked slowly to answer the phone...

After a while, the director was so engrossed in the movie that he forgot that there were other people in the room.

The movie was playing all the time, and his eyes were only on the screen.

"Do you think he likes it?" one teammate whispered to another.

The person next to him, not the one who was thrown the question, giggled.

"He's watching movies all the time like his wife, how do we watch it? Don't break the law!" the

man said, but as soon as he finished speaking, he quickly apologized.

AFTER A FEW HOURS OF THE MOVIE, THE SCREEN WENT BLACK AND THE SCREEN SAID "OH,

WOW

!" AND "I SAID IT'S TIME TO GET BACK TO WORK!"

AND THE OTHER FOUR MEMBERS STOOD UP AND PREPARED TO LEAVE SO THEY COULD GET BACK TO THEIR JOBS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. But when it was all over, the director straightened up and shook his head.

"You know what? Hearing his question, everybody was at a loss. "I'm going to take a day off. All meetings for tomorrow are suspended. After 12 o'clock, I'll be free, so let's arrange all the meetings, including the screenwriter's meeting. "

Where are you going?"

"I'm going to see Ian and take the family to see John Wick." I shouldn't have doubted—ah!"

the director's expression of regret made the workers feel guilty, but really, they enjoyed it. Their director is not a person who readily agrees to workers' requests or even ideas. But the opportunity was perfect, and the four of them enjoyed every minute of it.

Not only in theaters, but also on the Internet, the popularity of "John" is also high. Among them, the main reason is that "Karma" and "Death Realism" are too poor compared to "John Wick".

"What are you doing?" Will asked, looking at the face-to-face team.

Behind Will is a screen of stats. It's not just the profits, but the number of movie screenings is also decreasing in a way – the law of diminishing.

The man in front of him didn't say anything, just shook his head. Will collapsed.

This was his only chance to stay at the studio, as the production committee was already considering letting him leave the studio, given Will's unkind rhetoric at meetings and his performance over the past few months.

"Doesn't anyone hear me? Why do I see this arrow falling? Is this supposed to be the case? I'll stay in front of you... Shouting loudly while my job is in jeopardy? I'll end up ... "

Alright, adjourn!" Gal jumped in and called the meeting adjourned.

Will sighed loudly and looked around the studio. It wasn't until the crowd dispersed that Gal spoke.

It was supposed to be a simple meeting between employees to discuss the progress of the new release before talking about the next project.

Lincoln Studios is not a small studio, but it has climbed through the ups and downs in Hollywood's tough battles to get to its current status.

"What's going on, Will? you know you're going to lose your job, right?" asked Gal silently as everyone walked out of the room.

He couldn't go on any longer, because Will was already frightened by his actions.

Will sighed loudly. "I'm already losing my job. I know, what's the difference? I don't know! It's all because of Ian!"

Gal shook his head from side to side. First of all, he couldn't believe what he heard. His friend used to be a person who always thought rationally, walked the talk, and didn't have much internal friction.

But lately, his films have been a mess, the feedback has been negative, and his mental health has taken a turn, which is often shown in his behavior.

"That's not right, Will. This is not right. I can't believe that even with all that going on, you're still saying it's Ian's fault. You remember, he made it very clear at the party... Everything that happens in our studio has nothing to do with him. Gal spoke softly, and Will shook his head again.

"I'm not delusional, you know. Just like when Ian started to rise higher and higher in Hollywood, it was like nothing had happened to my career.

Gal rolled his eyes and stood up. His hand landed on the table with a loud thud, and his gaze was taken away from Will. He was angry. There are many reasons why he is angry.

"Will. Will, look at me!" he said, turning his head to make them look at each other. "Man, I'm not going to repeat that. The movie failure has nothing to do with Ian. The little man was also trying his best to make some name for his ideas. Hollywood fucking competition is fierce, you know it. But the real competition is... Gal pointed to Will's head. "Right here. Here it is. "

What?" asked Gal rhetorically.

He was a famous director, but he had a very short temper. He always thinks that his way is the only way things will go, and sometimes he is right. His ideas and the way he behaved took the studio so far that Gal never imagined that they would achieve so much together. But luckily, they did.

"You are your competitor, you are your worst enemy. I might sound like a USB stick motivator, but Will, look at yourself. Just because he has more showtime in theaters, you're furious. Before we even started our Plan B, you're angry... This is ridiculous, man, mind yourself, call me when you're ready, you know, you're running out of the studio like a loser, you're going to pick it up, you're going to do it yourself,"

Gal told Will to give in as he did every time. He walked out of the room and closed the door behind him, leaving the angry director alone for a moment.

He thought to himself, "What's the use of me getting so angry?" and he shook his head. His friend was right, he knew it.

What will they do next?
