Reborn to Dominate Hollywood

Scarlett gets the role of playing Hannah, everyone is seated in their seats, and Scarlett is preparing to recite the lines.

“...... And action!

" "Did you hear that?' It's going to be a special night. 'So you think he's going to propose?' Scarlett whispered.

Ian had thought about giving Emma Stone the role of Hannah to Eloise because she had played Emma in La La Land.

But again, Eloise was booked for three films at the same time, which made Ian's offer difficult to accept and difficult to refuse.

But if there are any changes, she will notify him.

Scarlett shrugged and continued, "He's fine. "

Okay, can you shrug your shoulders like that. Ian said and made her imitate.

"Yes, of course. One more," Scarlett said, and they were on the move again.

In that clip, it became official.

Scarlett Johansson will play Hannah in Crazy, Stupid, Love.

"Ryan, you already know what your role will embody. We've talked about it, and I hope you succeed on the first try," Ian said, while putting pressure on his words.

"Well... "

Are you in the Brotherhood, Carl?" and then, Ryan stepped into his role.

"Are you in the Brotherhood, Carl?!" he stressed.

"Are you Steven Jobs?" "Are you

the billionaire owner of Apple Computers?" Ryan

said the same, if not more successfully than Ian expected.

"Alright, Karl, Ryan, this is your final test. Can you approach Scarlett, you know, take the lead and act as a good flirt?"

"Give me five seconds then"

Ryan smiled and walked back, he muttered to himself for a few seconds before walking up to Ian.

"I'm ready!" he said.

"Cool... Let's do it!"

Hey," Ryan said with a flirtatious smile. Scarlett glanced back at him, raising an eyebrow and casting an inquiring look.

"Yes?" she asked.

"You look bored here. Want to hear a story?"

The crowd was silent.

"So, when I was a kid... I often go after butterflies. They're beautiful and often hang out behind our house, but damn it, I never knew I'd get them for free... That's when I saw your eyes...—my heart," Ryan said as everyone giggled and applauded at the same time.

"That.. Yes, I'll use it next time. Ian clapped as he spoke, making everyone laugh. "Thank you, thank you. "

-

After a short break, this is Steven Carell's chance.

"And, sir—" Ian called him sir, knowing how hot-headed he had been when they last met, even not so long ago.

"I want you to change your expression as I tell you, first with a blank gaze, then with a look of suspicion, then with a look of surprise, and finally but not least, an awkward laugh, can you?" Ian asked.

"Of course," Steven said, walking over to the camera.

He cleared his throat and nodded for Ian to continue.

When he finished speaking, his expression was exactly the same as Ian had said.

After each "change" command... Finally, Steven giggled awkwardly.

"Okay, thank you!" Ian said with a sigh, knowing that the hardest part of the day was over.

Once the cast settles down, Mason is responsible for setting up the set and everything, and Mason has to juggle two projects at the same time – the Resident Evil movie and Crazy Stupid Love.

The crew worked very hard and was ready and ready to start shooting.

However, costume designers ask for an extra two to three days to complete each design they start working on.

Normally, it would take weeks or even months for designers to design a suitable outfit for each character, but Ian did it easily.

He assigned himself the role of guiding the designers to adapt to the character's traits, which influenced their clothing patterns.

"Are you done?" asked Ian.

Just around noon, Ian is doodling and painting aesthetics for another character's costume pattern.

"The main characters have just passed, I don't even need to draw much, the team is amiable and talented, I just need to show them briefly. Ian said, stretching his neck.

"Rest well, Ian," Mason said, knowing how hard Ian had been working lately.

"We're just getting started, uncle. There is still a long way to go. Even though my body was aching and I wanted to take a break, my mind kept saying, 'Keep going'. "You can't hide now, right?" said Ian, smiling and going back to his job.

"Of course, you can't. But considering it has a budget of $50 million, starting Crazy Stupid Love is a smart move. And you know, after Batman started, I heard that a lot of studios were already trying to get new movie concepts that continued," Mason said, shaking his head.

"Can they now?" scoffed Ian.

"yes, but the party after Avatar put them to the test of reality. However, there are directors after us who want to know our next step. I'm betting my life, they won't expect us to have a romantic comedy anytime soon.

Mason's hint made Ian giggle.

"Even if they did, I'm pretty sure our project was doing well. How's Bale? I haven't seen him in weeks, more like a month or so," Ian said, wondering how he was busy.

"He's doing well. He went to the office while you weren't there, and there's a good chance he'll come back again. But like a lot of directors are chasing every actor who gets an audience through our films.

"As they should, it's no wonder I see that.

As the words came out of Ian's mouth, a comfortable silence spread between them.

"Excuse me, sir, Lisa is here," said Murphy.

"Please call her in," it was Ian.

"It's nice to see you again, Lisa. How's it going?" Ian said, getting up from where he was and shaking Lisa's hand.

Lisa is a beautiful woman in her thirties who is a co-designer with another talented man.

She has been in the industry for some time. Seven years is no joke.

"Eager to see the design. Oh, they're almost done..."Lisa said as she looked at the paper in Ian's hand.

"I'll see you later. Mason smiled and walked out.

"Yes, so—" Ian handed the newspaper over and pushed it onto the table for her to read.

"These are really great. Normally, that's what Fred and I should do. I spent time on the characters, the design, and everything, but you made it easier for us by showing off their attire. Even in this—" Lisa pointed to the dress Ian was going to draw for Kate.

"This can explain a lot of things, I can make a whole wardrobe with this dress,

" "Hahaha... That's how it was intended, and although I've never publicly admitted it, fine art and painting are things I've always loved doing. Ian sighed, shrugged his shoulders, and continued, "Anyway, the project is scheduled to start filming on Monday, as long as I help you two and let me relax." Ian said, taking one look at his work.

"Well, I can see that. And Mr. Reina, this should be the last character, right?" she asked.

"Yes, you're right. Everyone else is here. The rest is yours," Ian said with a smile, letting the woman out of the office.

*Ding!*

This is an email, an email addressed to Ian. Courtesy of LeoTv.

Ian took a deep breath and opened it, guessing that it was more work for him, and he couldn't think of anything more LeoTv related than Lucifer's next season.

That's

an email asking to meet with LeoTv within the next week.

Ian quickly checked the schedule, his pointed fingers clicking on the date on the calendar.

"Monday... Power on," Ian muttered to himself.

Filming of "Crazy Stupid Love" was supposed to begin on Monday, but, after filming would not be non-stop for several days, he knew he could squeeze into the meeting with LeoTv.

Until then, though, he had other things to do.

April 21, 2019.

A mansion in Reina, Beverly Hills.

It was Ian's day off. He couldn't wake up in his bed, even though it had been nearly an hour since his consciousness had hit him in a deep, peaceful sleep. Picking up the phone from the bedside table, it showed that it was 12:08 p.m.

"Okay, let's get started. He

got up and got out of bed. When he walked to the bathroom, he knew that taking a hot shower would wake up all his brain cells and allow him to complete the task that had to be done next.

When the water hits his hair, like any normal person would go through brainstorming ideas, Ian spent his moment in the shower.

In my mind, I kept thinking about what had happened in the past two months.

First, Batman: The Mystery of the Shadows was released, how the journey changed his own life, and then Avatar.

He smiled to himself as he washed his face. Avatar brought the best experience he had while shooting. He wondered how he had never had such an experience with a movie, even in his previous life. Forest, diving, flying – there are no boundaries to what he gets.

After that, he focused on VFX editing, script writing, and provided some help with the pre-production of Crazy Stupid Love. Thinking about this card, his heart was both solid and heavy. He sighed.

Then his mind hung over his next move, had he ever heard that thoughts could fly as fast as words? In the blink of an eye, a card was played, and the rest of the information - he thought.

"Crazy Stupid Love", "Lucifer", "Batman" maybe more, more, he wanted more than just a movie, but more.

-

After a long day's rest, he sits down in front of his laptop and starts typing in what he's going to do next.

The full writing of Lucifer Season 2.

They sent an email to Ian to discuss next steps with Lucifer. Since LeoTv has already gained considerable exposure and unconditional appeal to the series, they want to speed up the next season. This is mainly because, when the hype wanes, it will lead to a reduction in their follow-up plans.

Knowing that they might ask for a script and discuss the next series, Ian started typing out the manuscript.

Lucifer: Season 2, Episode 1.

- Previously in Lucifer

and you have left hell

for a vacation in Los Angeles.

Well, where else can I go?

You've been asked to go back to the underworld

.

Remind me to leave Hell because I was sick and tired and

played a role in his play.

_/\_

His night flew by, and he completed the manuscript of four episodes. As he was writing the script, Ian's mind was flooded with too many emotions. But they are mostly about Lucifer's character traits.

Uh! Back to the point, talking about Lucifer, isn't it? No.

They shaped Lucifer's character so that it aligned with his personality and charisma throughout the series.

Ian almost forgot what an intriguing character Lucifer was, and nevertheless, writing dialogue and thinking about action – almost like a plot playing out before his eyes.

It's nearly 5 a.m., and Ian is playing the last episode he locked down the night before, yawning while typing on his computer.

He sighed contentedly, put down what he was doing, and went downstairs to drink a large glass of water before going to sleep.

It was Monday. Finally, yes.

The crew had the set ready, the actors were already present, and in fact, the entire crew was there when Ian walked in.

"Good morning, everyone, you can feel the energy from thousands of miles away!" Ian said, sitting down in the director's chair.

He had coffee in his hand, and everyone was doing something different.

Nick gets together with the film crew and talks to the camera lighting operator.

Mason was talking to some of the actors on the set. The makeup artist is busy, and a beautiful woman blends the actors' faces according to the lighting.

"Good morning, Ian!" shouted Mason from the other end of the set.

"So, guys, how long is this going to take?!" Ian asked Mason.

"More or less - an hour, I would say. Ryan is here waiting for you!" Nick said because it was true.

Aside from Nick, Ryan was already wearing a regular t-shirt and knew they were going to shoot him today or tomorrow, but he was there on the first day because it was the first day. Since Ian Ray is so good, he wants to be there on the first day.

"How are you doing?" Ian asked, then walked between the two gentlemen to discuss something related to the movie.

"Ian, where are you?!" Ryan chuckled at his words.

"Not far. Ian shook his head.

Considering Ryan and Nick's smiles, the good mood between them is very palpable.

"The problem is, Ian...," Nick said.

"We have the same question about the title of the movie, 'Crazy Stupid Love?'" he asked.

"Again, you're asking the same thing, Nick. "

I agree with Nick. It's too cheesy to exist. How did you come up with this?" Ryan asked.

With a smile on his face, Ian listened to their questions about the title.

It reminded him of what happened to film directors in the previous world when he was thinking about the title of the movie.

Some say that filmmakers give an iPad to the person who created the title for the film for free on the set.

In the old world, Steven Carell said he hated the name of the film, saying he couldn't imagine a group of college students saying, "Please, five tickets to Crazy Stupid Love."

In addition, one of Carell's preferred official names was "Wingman", which he considered a boring name but more accurately described the plot of the film.

The whole thing seemed nostalgic to Ian.

"What's the fun if I just say everything right now? Hey, I know the name of this movie is weird, but trust me, it's a perfect fit for the story. It's a pleasure to see you here, Ryan, even after knowing we're not going to do that, shoot you today," Ian said, pursing his lips.

"Ahaha... I'm not popular, director, did you say that?"

they joked a little bit more and didn't stop until they got to the filming location.
