Chapter 42 Work and more work

I need to check on Andre's progress. He is in the middle of shooting when I arrived. I stayed at the

venue to see how he make things work around his set.

He uses some of Drake's crew. As far as I know, they are good and very professional. But I noticed

they seem to not understand what Andre wants to happen on some scenes.

The script is well written, I made it so I'm sure there is no problem with it. The set is a little off, he needs

to invest more. Though they have Kuya Rowen, a good movie editor, I will still suggest investing more

on the set. Fantasy action needs an expensive setting since you will change the regular venue, into out

of this world place.

He also has new talents. His male lead is Vic, a rising star with no much experience in acting. He has

the looks and the built but he needs more guidance being the lead. The female lead is Sofie a model,

this is her first acting gig. She needs a lot of coaching to make this work.

Perfect recipe for a disaster movie, new stars and new director combined.

I sat next to Andre.

I need to tell you something, you have a big problem here. I told him with a worried face.

I know. He is certain that I would be commenting badly of his work.

You need a major revision, in your settings and replace one of your lead actors. At least one that can

draw the audience desire to watch your movie at the theatres. You know, people has to pay money to

watch this. Atleast make it worth their money.

I can't I already paid them. We had a contract too. I can't replace any of them. If I do I will be losing

even more money. I spent almost 15M already.

I'm afraid you need to spend more. You need a better setting designer. I will get you one to improve

your set. This is just lousy. It doesn't worth 15M for me.

I checked the previous scenes that they already shoot. It can still be improved. Though for me, it would

be better for him to remake everything I kept it to myself I don't want their effort to be wasted.

On the next coming days, I helped Andre improve his settings. I told him to extend his budget to 20M.

That's another 5 million for the setting and other things that might be needed on the movie-making.

Even costumes and props are upgraded. We just need to reshoot again and again the scenes until the

actors perfect the scene.

So the story goes this way. Anjo is a gamer. With too much exposure to gaming, his reality and his

fantasy fused into one. Now the game came to the real world and he has to do the things he does on

the game in the real world.

Anjo (Vic) is an underground warrior he is branded as a black warrior for killing other fighters just to get

to his goal. While Antoinesse (Sofie) is a champion of white tribe warriors. With the help of her group of

friends and family who play the same game, she achieved the champion level. The technique of her

team is to support each other to level up. As trouble arises, they need more fighters to defeat the

arising evil who came to initially destroy the game world now to destroy their real world. To create more

warriors Antoinese and Anjo need to pair up as a couple. That's how the new fighters are made. It is

ordered by new players who want to have a good set of skills and powers. Together they make strong

fighters. Will that be enough to defeat the evil they are facing?
