Chapter 209 | street racing

"Is everything going safe?" Ian asked as soon as Murphy entered the office.

"Yes sir, but it seems like Jeff has gone in and out of the head office of Feazel. It's a given that he is trying to do something-"

"Yeah, the only thing that matters is him not knowing that I want to buy ABC news and Sky News altogether. That'd be quite the backflip as he just wants me to stay where I'm right now and focus on the creative parts like the Gaming Franchise… Boy, it just hit me that he really doesn't want me to have the kind of power he has," Ian raised both his eyebrows and sat back in his chair.

Murphy said nothing but nodded.

"Well, we'll just have to wait and see. If things are going to get bigger in the near future, I'm sure they'd, Anyway, did you hear back from RedBo?"

"Yes, sir. I did. It's settled. The actors we needed were right under them and free for the schedule we sent. It wouldn't take a lot of time and details to do so. I sent the papers and they asked for a week."

"Perfect," Ian smiled and dismissed Murphy.

His next plan was to do John Wick with John. With Keanu Reeves right in front of him as a candidate to bring the main character alive. And with that, the rest of the cast was requested by Ian after analyzing and seeing the skills of the actors.

"Can I come in?" Rae's voice came through the door.

"Yes, please. Have a seat," He said while letting her sit in front of him.

"I think I'm ready to start shooting, the locations got accepted, and everything else followed through for the next few months. How are you doing?" she asked.

"I've been better, I can say. This is the first time I'm trying to close a deal, and that too somehow involved Jeff Sanson. So, I'm trying my best here, how is it going for you?"

"Better, but yeah, I uh, want to talk about something," Rae said with concerned eyes.

"What is it?"

"Well, with everything, this movie is the biggest thing that ever happened to me in a very long while. And it also means that my focus is solely on the project—-yours as well, oh" She raised her eyes from the focus on the table to his suddenly as if she remembered something suddenly. "Why are you not focusing on Star Wars but John Wick? I thought that's your priority…"

"I want to work with John at least on a single movie, the best time is this as he's finally gained some freedom after working a lot for his father's company. And, I need some more time to check with Star Wars. All in all, they'd happen in good time.

"And-" Ian said while extending his hand facing the palm up. Raelynn took his hand and looked into his eyes. "It's going to be okay. I don't even think I need to explain this situation to you at all because we both know it's going to be fine. So, let's not stress about it, and if you've any more questions whatsoever, talk to me, okay?"

"Yeah, alright-"

The knock at the door made Raelynn withdraw her hands at flash speed. Ian looked into the door and saw Murphy waiting outside it.

"Come in!"

[Green Studio - LA]

Ian sat in the middle of the studio, where behind him was a green screen, and in front of him, there were massive cameras. His surroundings were chaotic, and beside him, there was the director of the show.

"....As we were discussing, the questions would be mostly about the new movie and related to it. There'd be some clips from behind the scenes, it's going to be fine. Also, would you be comfortable talking about Raelynn and you?" the manager asked.

"Not really, keep my love life away from today's interview. And the other actors would be here when?"

"Oh no, actually we've decided to keep this interview just for you. The management board decided that the actors could get another entire session, why don't you know it, Mr. Renner? We sent an email this morning," the manager asked, looking confused.

"I might've overlooked it. I'll let my assistant know about it, thank you."

"In fifteen minutes it's going to air the program live, will you be okay with it?"

"Yeah, bring it on in," Ian said and smiled.

Friday Night Live is being aired by RNN channel, one of the biggest airing channels in America and one of the most famous channels in the entire world. It was not just because of how well the questions were thrown, and how hard the announcer tried to dig into the celebrities' life. It's also because of how they promote every program.

The lights of the studio increased, and Ian smiled at the cameras noticing the cameraman raising his hand.

"So, It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile. Winning's winning, huh?" the hot man with his arms crossed in front of him questioned with a serious expression.

Mac Adene was a famous tv host, and most importantly known to be someone who respects and shows so much love to celebrities on and off the screen.

It was proven true when Mac shared meals with the most famous modeler Mary Jane when it was reported that she was someone who had to diet in order to keep her figure in shape. Nevertheless, the host was a good man, and also interesting from the angle he watches the celebrities from.

"That's right, winning is winning," Ian repeated after him and earned a huge round of applause from the audience.

The cameraman and the director played a major role in situations where there were supposed to clap, and they made sure that it was all right on time.

Ian said nothing but nodded at the audience, and waved his hand at two people who kept standing and asking for his attention.

"Ian. Ian. Ian, IAN EVERYONE!" Mac yelled again, and the camera zoomed in on Ian.

"Wow, hi!" He replied back and chuckled.

"When was the last time you were here? Oh wait, it's never!"

"Haha! No seriously! If I knew how comfortable these chairs are, I swear to God, I'd have tried my best to appear on the show, I'm not even joking! So, how have things been going Mac? Heard you're going to get married?" Ian asked back.

The audience went crazy all over again. The little people they had invited to the studio made up for all the noise, enough for at least thirty-forty people.

"Wow!" Mac gasped and touched his heart. "Here I thought, I'd have to drag the show along and all alone…! This is just quite nice, to be honest!" He replied and raised his eyebrows.

"And yes, soon there'd be wedding bells in the corner!"

"Yay!" Ian clapped while standing up and the audience ran along with it.

Weddings were something really interesting and special according to them, and the fact that no one knew about Mac's wedding—gave all the responsibility to Ian to announce it and make the crowd go 'wow'; which he did successfully.

[Train Station 209]

There were two men standing in the corner of the railway station. Around them, there were people who were walking here and there in the station, as it was late and time when almost everyone gets back home from work.

"...Natalie made me watch it, and fuck it really sucks. I don't even get time to fix the front door lock, but she wanted us to have a romantic movie, and it was the worst version of whatever is called a movie…!" Person 1 said while looking utterly disappointed at the words that left his own mouth.

"What? What was the title? And how can even a movie be so bad? Is that why you were upset the whole day?" person 2 had lots of questions ringing in his brain.

It was not normal for person 1 to always be that moody an entire day, and being his friend, he was obviously concerned.

The man mouthed out the name of the title and the other guy frowned upon hearing it.

"Do you never check IAM even for fun to see if the movie is worth watching? Not like we have got a lot of time from a single day to spend on watching movies anyway," the man whispered the latter part to him silently.

"Well, but I also heard the movie, The Fast and the Furious hit it big after 24 hours of its release. Why don't we go and watch it? And then later tonight, we can watch the director's show…?"

"What? Fast and Furious, dude, that sounds good, how is it?"

"I haven't watched but it's about street racing, so-"

"Anything is better than spending another movie night with my girlfriend for sure."

They both got into the train as soon as it stopped in front of them.
