Days passed, Ian and everyone else in the office were busy on the phone, everyone was busy with one thing or another.

Things are going well after Ian finds Paul, although another face doesn't seem to be on the show yet – at least not on the cast list.

"Did I ever think that maybe these actors I knew in my world could be another gender here?" thought

to Ian's mind as he was still looking for another name with Murphy.

"Sir, are you ready? The reporters are coming. Murphy reminded as he walked in with his tablet.

Finally, the day came, and after a long round of editing work, I discussed with Steven on the phone, in a meeting, the second part of the "Percy Jackson" series, "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters".

"Yes, let's go answer those questions!"

————————————————

he walked into a room filled with men and women, some with microphones, some with notebooks, and some with cameras.

Seeing Ian walk in, the light in the room suddenly brightened a little. More than half of the 15 or so reporters stood up, and the rest just paid attention to the man who walked in.

"Hello everyone. Before the questions start pouring in, I have to announce what a wonderful journey the creation of Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, was a wonderful process.

First of all, the love that people had for the first work gave me a lot of motivation to write this book, which allowed me to have a great time during my time in France and also gave me a new perspective on things... I'm very happy about that. He sighed, and the reporters nodded their heads, some smiling, some expressionless.

After the audience fell silent, he cleared his throat.

"Ahem... Okay, guys, let's start asking questions, shall we?"

After that, questions about the book and the author began to flood in, and at the same time, Ian paid a keen eye to each question and answered them truthfully.

"Ian, what got you into writing?Was it purely because of a love of fiction....?or was it for business reasons

?" "What is the inspiration of Sea of Monsters for society??" Is this question because you shared the information you should have while publishing your last book?", "What

advice do you have for all fantasy readers?".

"Ian, you know that Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief has a circulation of over fifty thousand copies... It's just, hardcover? How do you feel about that?

" "It's a bit of a weird question, but do you think a person can be a writer if he doesn't have strong feelings about emotions -- for example, if he doesn't have a lot of feelings

?" "If you start writing a book, how long do you spend each day?" because you're very good at time management compared to other writers, I'm sure,.... "

One question after another, there are no boundaries.

————————————————

buzz - buzz - this

sound has attracted a lot of attention. Three more modified cars appeared like rockets, crisscrossing in front of the truck.

...... I saw these little black coupes frolicking around the semi-trailers, speeding down the highway, and gradually disappearing into the distance.

The trucker, who watched the scene, took a breath from between his teeth, clearly unimpressed by this deadly antic.

"Damn stupid donkey!"

"Okay, stop! You look at everything in your eyes, and then... Damn stupid donkey! you know what I mean? Do it again!"

Everyone is on set, today is the first day, the first day of filming Fast and Furious.

Although Ian has yet to find another face that is indispensable in the film, considering that Paul has inexplicably entered the crew after negotiating with his agency, he still gives up, but persists.

Ian had suspected that an audition might have been scheduled, given that the man was trying to make a big breakthrough, but luckily, thanks to the director's reputation, the agent liked it as soon as he heard it.

"So, are we ready?"

"Yes, let's get started!" The

camera begins to shoot, and the shot starts from where the thing left.

After Ian's order was given, a man with a clapper came up to the camera and said, "Start!"

The first

and second scenes

read

, "Ian, how about we shoot the same scene from the other two angles?" I think it would look good because the mirror is the only shot being dragged. Raelyn said as she stood beside Ian, who nodded in agreement.

"There's going to be some arrangement, let's spend another five minutes, okay?"

the staff and the rest of the team took a break, while Leireen and her team worked more on the parts that needed to be adjusted.

————————————————

[Actas Books, Steven's Office]

" No, I think the cover should be like this. Because we've already shared the theme and the promotion is going on, we can't change the cover all of a sudden. Also, who brought this person in? Miss Fernandez, haven't you been working here for several years? When are we... Changed the cover two hours before release?" Steven asked aloud, and the entire office fell silent.

"I--I'm sorry, sir, but these minor changes were all requested by Mr. Reina. This morning, we took a moment to tweak them, and I assure you that we wouldn't have considered making any changes anyway if it weren't for the author's request. The

woman looked frightened by Steven's reaction.

People have been waiting for the release of the book for weeks, and after the marketing process began and continued, the cover of the book has left many fans with hellish and heavenly excitement and how it became famous all over the world.

As Ian requested, this is the cover of a book with a green theme.

As soon as the cover was revealed, the sword in the young man's hand and the water waves behind him made all readers frightened.

Steven couldn't wait to call Ian and ask him what he wanted from the cover.

"Hello, is that Mr. Ian Rayner?" on

the other end of the line, Murphy answered the phone, and Ian was busy with work.

"Oh yes, of course. You must be Mr. Steven, right? Wait a minute!"

the voice that followed was quite familiar and expected.

"Steven, how are you? are you ready?"

Ian's voice came over the phone.

"Ian, about that. I'd like to ask one thing, do you have time?"

"Of course you guys take a break when you have time, I'm on the phone with the publisher so, yes, tell me..."

"Oh well, Steven... What I mentioned is how to make it better with a few small things that can be adjusted. I love the cover, but as you know, I don't have time to take a good look at it, but I think the cover is great now. Why don't we change my tweaks in the next edition?Can the first batch be the same?"

Ian always has the perfect solution and the easiest way.

"Ian, I'm not saying it's impossible, but I think your idea is better at the moment

" "Don't worry, Steven. Your team has done a great job in other areas, including the cover, I'm a person who can't control myself when I see something, but it's okay, what's the matter to call me?"

"Of course, have a nice day!"

The call ended, and both parties were satisfied.

Steven walked back to his office, and all eyes were on him.

"I talked to Mr. Reina, and luckily, the cover of the book will work according to our plan, and everything else will be released to the public as planned. And, from now on, no one can make any changes without my permission, understand?"

all seven people in the office nodded, and two of them smiled.

"I thought we had gone through the process here, but I didn't expect to come. Anyway, guys, go back to work and check all the sites... Okay, I'll be back in a moment.

As soon as Steven left the room, everyone else went back to work, considering that there were less than three hours left for the grand book launch ceremony.

————————————————

"Guys, I think this will go down in the history books behind the scenes of Fast and Furious, and I hope Raelyn will take on this task!" Ian said, looking at him.

"What is this?" asked Raelin, and in her hand, a camera focused on what was happening in front of her.

The actors, who had been in their places, changed their positions and listened to him.

"Well, my third book..."Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters" is about to be released, and I have to say, how excited I am to share this book with you!"

As soon as Ian announced, everyone including the crew, the team, and the cast gathered around.

As soon as Ian gave the order to end the shoot, the whole little party began.

The first scene of the tractor accident was clearly filmed, and Ian was happy with the final editing.

"Ian, how did you manage your two lives?" asked one of the team, and Ian's attention immediately took his eyes off his phone.

"I never knew there were reporters on my team, sir, why don't you bring the interview to my office?" he asked sarcastically, causing everyone to laugh.

"Well, to answer your question, I think I've provided enough evidence that I'm flying on vacation, resting, or anything that will help me finish the book, plus something creative... Who is to blame?" someone

applauded loudly in the back, and everyone applauded too.

"Also, I have the first edition for everyone who wants to read the second part of the Percy Jackson series, with my signature on it. Considering what I know about everybody, and they all say that not everybody is a book lover, I thought, maybe there will be at least one or two of you, am I right?"

"yes, Ian. Give

me a copy!" "Me too!" "I want a book too

!" "I want a copy!"

"I like the first one, can you give me one?"

The wandering gaze finally turned to the loud noise that erupted in the corner of the room, some exclaiming, some laughing.

The latest release was scattered all over the place, and Ian chuckled under his breath before stepping down to help him.

The man was already collecting the book, and as soon as he looked up to see who was coming, the foreheads of the two men collided together, and the man jumped back in surprise.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Reina--oh, shit!" The

pile of books fell again, and Ian laughed, and the others laughed, standing up and looking at the man's face.

Ian's jaw dropped as soon as he saw the other man's face.

"What the hell?" he whispered to himself, but the man could hear it clearly.

"I-I--I'm sorry, sir, I joined the publishing house yesterday, first assignment... Well, I officially ruined it, I don't think they want me anymore now... Oh shit! what did I do!"

the guy muttered the latter sentence, and the people in the background stood silent.

Mason kept watching what was happening in front of him, and he walked over and called for a helper to help collect the book.

Ian was still looking at the man, and Mason gave him a strange look.

"Ian, don't tell me you're half-hearted about your sexuality, you can come to me, I don't mind. Nick walked up behind Ian and whispered in his ear.

He suddenly returned to Earth and looked at the guy again.

"You're Steven's colleague, at Actas Books, right?" asked Ian again.

"Yes, sir... Please don't let them fire me, I mean, I understand. You do need to complain, complain that I might even ruin the books. However, I don't want to be fired just yet... I'm sorry!

" "No, no. I may have misunderstood you, you won't be fired. Ian said that, Nick's eyebrows were raised, and he was still standing behind Ian.

"Oh, thank you, sir. Then I'll go first. He said that the assistants had already taken care of all the books he had brought.

"Please sign your name here.

He held out a piece of paper, and Ian quickly took it.

His name was written on the paper, and the person who delivered the book was Richard Diesel.

Richard Diesel - at least that's a name, Diesel is familiar to Ian.

And that's the guy he's been looking for week after week, Vin Diesel – or Richard Diesel.

He has long hair and is not bald, but his face and personality are similar, and Ian shuddeers while the man struggles for work in front of him.

"You're Richard Diesel, right? Can I see why they sent newbies over to hand out books?" Ian asked a little sternly.

"Uh... "

I'm kidding. Are you free, Richard?" Ian asked, seeing the man's curious eyes.

When Ian handed over the papers, Richard thought to himself, 'Is this guy so cold, or am I dreaming'.

"I have time, sir. Why?"

"Well, it's not going to take a lot of time. Ian said, as both walked into the corner.

"Really

?" "Have you ever thought about acting? Like, have you ever thought about it? After all, your job is in Los Angeles, Hollywood, where almost everyone is an actor, or wants to be an actor?" asked the director jokingly, and Richard smiled at him.

"Not really, sir. I never even had a chance to think about it. I came here just to get a job, and I ended up being lucky enough to join a book company. He said as he avoided eye contact with the director with a smile on his face.

"Do you want to try acting

?" "Huh?" "

I have a role that is perfect for you, and as long as you're willing to put in the extra effort and time, I think, this could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you." You are a person who is good at finding opportunities and leading life forward. I don't mean to force you, but I think it's clear to you that different actors can make a big difference in their careers when they get the chance, am I right?"

Richard spent a moment thinking about Ian's words, and indeed, when he heard about the author's deeds, the whole publishing company was talking about Ian and his development, and he also learned how people were chosen at random, but after meeting Ian, their whole careers changed.

There was not just one, but multiple interviews on the same topic, and everyone found it interesting.

[flashback to Office 23 of Actas Books]

It's another ordinary day in the office, ordinary, but fresh.

Twenty days have passed since he was hired to work in the delivery and management department, and all they have to do is deliver books and be in charge of the exchange of all the books that have been delivered.

As he walked to the office, he overheard a conversation that piqued his interest.

He paused for a moment to hear them talk about the man they were going to see in a few hours.

"...... I wish I was the one who delivered the book! I mean, I listened to a radio interview yesterday and Ian talked about the new book and the new movie he's working on... "

Yes, the author himself is a genius in many ways. I mean, where do I start? When I finished reading the books, I helped put them in the box, to say the least. And what about the other books that went straight to the author

? Are they ready? The conversation between the two women made the lad wonder what they were talking about.

Since he came here, the main project going on has been Mr. Ian Renner – the notorious writer, director, and kind and open man who is willing to give opportunities to the talent he sees.

"Yes, that's them. Can you please... Uh--Richard Diesel is here to get these things? This set is for him, oh, until then, to Mr. Steven's office. I heard that he wanted to check the book himself before delivering it!"

The other lady nodded, and took the book without saying a word.

"Interesting," Richard thought after hearing the conversation.

Maybe it was his luck?
