Reading until this point, Ric cracked up a bit after dropping the newspaper on his side. "Sofia, remind me to call Jack about giving a raise to whomever wrote this article."

"Yes, sir," Sofia replied from the front seat.

"Only you can be this narcissistic," Drew commented with a bit of disdain at her tone. seeing Ric busking in the praises written in the newspaper with an arrogant expression.

"Oh my! You hurt me, my dear!" Ric mockingly exclaimed, holding his heart.

This caused Drew to break into a small fit. "Stop being a melodramatic."

"But it's not my fault. This is what has been written in the newspaper." Ric is trying to explain.

"Yes. A newspaper that you own," she quipped back.

As the hormonal teen that he is, he got right into action when he found an opening. With a glint in his eyes, he slowly got close to her.

"Is it right, my dear?"

Drew shuddered at his action before leaning to the side while giggling. "Hey! Stop it!"

Looking at the teenagers flirting with each other, Sofia could not help but mention, "Ah! Hormonal kids."

"I heard that, Sofie," came the reply from the back with a reminding tone.

"Sorry, Boss!" She immediately apologized and sat straight.

Daniel simply drove them to their destination with a smile, not minding whatever was happening in the car.

As they drove through the serene suburban area, they arrived at the filming location for the upcoming High School Musical production. Over the next three months, this sleepy town would be transformed into a bustling film set.

The decision to choose this location was not made lightly. Not only was it chosen for its peaceful surroundings but also for the local high school building, which was slated for demolition due to the school's relocation. This provided the perfect opportunity to capture the essence of high school life before it was lost forever.

As the crew set up their equipment and began to prepare for filming, the excitement in the air was palpable. This was the start of something special, and everyone involved was eager to bring their best to the table. With the perfect location secured, the stage was set for a truly unforgettable production.

Ric's decision to choose this particular film was a strategic move. This film has the potential to seamlessly merge his talents as both a singer and actor, ultimately attracting the fans and audience that he may have lost during his three-year hiatus. It is a calculated risk that could prove to be highly beneficial for his career.

Furthermore, the film's story-line and themes align with his personal values and beliefs, allowing him to connect with his audience on a deeper level. This could potentially solidify his position as a versatile and relatable artist in the industry.

The film features a protagonist who is not only a talented athlete but also possesses exceptional singing abilities. This unique combination of skills makes the character appealing to both male and female viewers, capturing their attention and leaving a lasting impression.

Unlike the original film produced by Disney, Ric made significant changes to the script to cater to the standards of the 1990s audience. He infused it with vibrant colors and pop-style elements, transforming it into an entirely new creation. In fact, the extent of his revisions was so extensive that it could be considered an entirely original script.

The total number of songs in this movie will be six, all written by him. Among them, three are part of his new upcoming album, "90s Heart." As for the rest of the songs, he gifted them to Mariah Carey and Gwen Stefani, who are the music voices of Drew Barrymore and Reese Witherspoon.

Not only is he promoting his own music, but he's also helping other artists gain exposure by providing them with quality songs. This shows Ric's generosity and willingness to collaborate with others in the industry, which would create waves across the industry.

Essentially, Ric is hitting two birds with one stone for both his music and acting careers.

PREPARATION FOR THE FILM WAS EXTENSIVE. The production team, along with director Stephen Daldry, meticulously selected every prop, crew member, supply, extra, and supporting cast member. Every individual seen in the film was carefully chosen, including actors and actresses. Additionally, shooting locations outside of the high school were also carefully selected.

The main cast of this film is nothing short of extraordinary. Alongside Richard and Drew Barrymore, there were future Hollywood heavyweights such as Matt Damon, Will Smith, and Reese Witherspoon.

But that's not all, as the musical prowess of Mariah Carey, Gwen Stefani, and the legendary Elton John also grace the cast lineup, who will be lending their voices to the characters portrayed by Drew, Reese, and Matt, respectively.

This ensemble of stars is sure to leave audiences in awe and make this film an unforgettable cinematic experience.
