Reborn to Dominate Hollywood

Ian woke up and immediately went to take a cold shower to start the day. Water flowed from his hair to his face and then to his body, but his mind was on La La Land.

Mostly, he was curious about what kind of person Ryan Gosling might be. Then, he's been thinking about other actors and ideas for his next big project.

The shower is where creativity overflows and imagination runs wild.

It's the same for almost everyone.

After making $350 million in profits from Home Alone, that amount has been significantly reduced due to taxes, renovations, equipment, and other factors. In fact, the deal between John and Ian alone cost Ian $20 million. The amount of money for the whole company is good.

He spent about $1 million to pay for all the equipment. In addition, about $500,000 was spent on construction and starting renovations. After all, Mason's share and salary were quickly paid off. When Ian spends so much money they make together from a project, it feels like a big win for Ian.

As a result, Ian left about $150 million for himself, of which he plans to invest $30 million in La La Land. Ian came out of the shower, put on some comfortable clothes, and was still thinking about other things. Sitting in front of his laptop, he typed in the title of the next big script.

It's a series. Building a reputation as a genius is Ian's goal. A person who can create a masterpiece with his own script that will amaze and awe. The reason his project was a bit rushed was to set things a little higher. He was sure that no one would have been able to create a film and a saga like his in such a short period of time.

It takes many years for an average director or screenwriter to come up with a good idea and create a good result on the silver screen. But he wants to show off that he is someone who can master the field with just a little experience.

Ian arranges a meeting with Ryan Gosling at Reina's studio, which is about to happen in minutes. But on the other hand, Mason is also curious about why Ian met a C-grade actor. Regardless, he has full trust and confidence in him. He knew Ian wouldn't do anything stupid, especially when it came to business.

"Ryan Gosling is here," Mason's aide announced.

"Let him in," Ian replied.

Ryan Gosling, who looked a lot like "Ryan Gosling", walked in with a polite smile. A pun on it, of course. The facial features are almost identical. The hairstyle can be changed slightly, and it is very similar to Ryan in the original world, but other than that, his height, proportions, and smile are exactly the same as Ian remembers.

"Good morning, Ryan." Ian stood up and immediately took his hand.

"I can't believe I've finally met you, sir," Mason laughed at the words that came out of the actor's mouth. "I'm actually curious about the role I'm going to play," Ryan gets straight to the point.

"Just call me Ian. Nice to meet you,"

Ian learned from the way Ryan Gosling spoke that Ryan Gosling was an outgoing, friendly person. But he needs acting skills and talent to confirm that the role will be his. Therefore, he immediately threw himself into work.

"Let's start working, what role are you going to take, it's hard to say for the time being, I called you because your appearance is exactly what I'm looking for, facial features, height, figure, whatever." Success or not depends entirely on your acting skills," Ian was honest with him. It's a fact.

"Oh, well," Ryan replied and nodded.

Ian pulls a scene from the script and hands it to Ryan. It begins with an interesting conversation with the male protagonist, Sebastian, at the entrance. This is a conversation between Sebastian and his sister. Ryan spent a few minutes reading the script over and over again.

This is the scene where Sebastian finds his sister Laura, whose name is Laura, 37, in his empty apartment; There is no furniture, the boxes are still packed, and they don't look like home at all, much to Laura's annoyance. Sebastian tells her that he will open the boxes in his own club, and he can't believe that it has been turned into a place for tapas samba. His sister wants him to let go of the fact that he was deceived and start his life again. She wanted him to meet a woman, but he wasn't interested. After she left, he practiced over and over again the Thelonious Monk song he had played in the car that morning until he got it right.

Since this was Sebastian's first formal conversation in the film since the film began, Ian thought it would be nice to have Ryan do it. In fact, he could also tell Ryan's opinion of the character. For a movie like La La Land, it's very important to live inside the hearts of the characters.

"It's just a little test, take it easy," Mason said.

"I'll do my best," Ryan said, continuing to read.

Ian leaves the office and returns a moment later with a beautiful brunette woman. She is the receptionist in the office. Nasha neither smiled nor frowned. In fact, she's so neutral that it's a little strange to watch. But it's clear that she's so well trained to fake a smile that when someone sees her for the first time, it's just like the real thing. At this time, the only thing that is clear is her smile.

"She'll say Laura's part, can you start now?" Ian asked.

"Oh, well," Ryan said, and sighed loudly.

[...]

"Sebastian—" Laura said.

"How long?"

"You need to be serious. You live like a hermit. You are driving without insurance. "

Nasha takes the character surprisingly seriously and has been talking to Ryan back-to-back. Despite her good conversation, Ian's attention is entirely focused on Ryan.

"I'm serious. I have a very serious plan for my future. It wasn't my fault that I went to Shanghai. Ryan's voice became a little serious.

"You didn't get it, you were blackmailed."

"What's the difference?" Ryan asked.

"No... No, wait, try again, it should be back-to-back questions, try again. "Ian can't wait for Ryan Gosling to be like Sebastian. Hearing him say this, Ryan practiced the conversation again.

"What's the difference?"

A smile appeared on Ian's face.

"It's not that romantic. And everyone but you knows that girl is sinister. "

Why do you call romance a dirty word?"

"Unpaid bills are not romantic. Call her. She kept talking about her conversation after him.

"You act as if life is cornering me – what you don't understand is that I want to be cornered. I let life hit me until it got tired. Then I'm going to get my move. It's a classic rope "

I love you. Open your box. "

I'm changing the locks," Ryan said aloud.

"Okay! That's great, thank you, miss? Ian asked, looking at the girl holding the scroll with a blank face.

"Nasha," she laughed for the first time.

"Thank you, you can go back and do what you're doing," Mason said as Nasha walked out of the office.

After hearing the short conversation, Ian felt that he was a perfect fit for the role. Of course, acting skills alone are not enough to judge his overall level perfectly, but judging by the way he presents this small talk, Ian is already satisfied. He was able to see the original Sebastian through his lines.

In the scene where Sebastian and his sister talk back and forth, there's not much room for a huge thought process. Soon, but also an important scene. This is Sebastian's expression and his attitude towards Ian.

"That's good, I'll talk to your agent and let you know, yes?" Ian said, smiling politely.

"I really hope you're serious, this opportunity means a lot to me, thank you," Ryan said as he left the room, but shook hands with both of them before leaving.

Even his personality is great when he speaks, which impresses Ian even more. A good actor is as valuable as gold in this industry, especially in the process of making movies and interacting with directors.

Ian knew he was a perfect fit for the role. The more he thought about it, the more reasons he came up with. In fact, he's seen several movies Ryan has acted in in this world and is happy with how his acting skills are. They lack a bit of professionalism, but over time, Ian is sure that he will get better, which proves in Hollywood how talented even low-level actors can be.

"I think he's a good fit for the role," Ian said, while Mason was still confused. His facial expressions speak for themselves.

"Are you sure, Ian? I mean, he's very talented but—

" "I'm pretty sure to make an arrangement with his agency, it'll be quick, and we're going to find Mia too." Ian said with a smile.
