Being still young and inexperienced in the line of work we was so desperate to be in, Lance knew he had to work extra hard to make a name for himself, and if he did so with the kind of an attitude that would make people bounce away from him, heâd be doing it pretty poorly. He knew what he had to do, and in order to achieve his dreams, he knew he had to be a part of the achievement of others. âIf three hundred is what it takes, then that is what I shall be giving, sir. I know how important this is to you. I would hate to be the reason it doesnât go as well as you envision it.â he nodded his head, thinking about it briefly. Just how fucked up it would be to have a film go bad because the main actor is a douche who doesnât do his job how he is supposed to but how he thinks he should.
âComing from you, that means a lot. I know Iâm supposed to be this guy that has his eyes set on the prize and dream of an Oscar, but like⊠I think itâs more about what you do with what you get than setting your goals up so high and being in a bad mood for not achieving them in time. If you know what I mean. If I do my job correctly, it will be a reward as itself, just reading a good review, getting signed for more roles. That kinda thing.â he was being way too deep in this whole thing. The conversation wasnât leading where he wanted it to, but alas, he was free to speak his mind and he was sure the other wouldnât have minded it anyways. After he was done with what he wanted to say, he distanced himself a little, hearing his name coming from the producerâs mouth just made him smile more, and slightly blush. The spotlight was on him before he even did anything. âSee you later then, sir.â he waved to the taller male and headed towards the set, occasionally turning around, unable to resist this tiny little urge to check out that well built body.
A few hours later, Jeff was going back to the studio along with a couple of his co-workers, talking a little about the way theyâre finally starting with recording and production of his latest movie, and that if things went well, they would have enough time to talk about post-production and get to business to push promotion on date, for the very first time in a long time. All through his conversation, he kept talking about this new guy he discovered; the three men always agreed that talent was the key to success in the industry, and Jeff could see that Lance had talent from the moment he had auditioned a couple months ago. He just had gotten his friends eager to meet the guy, which didnât have him as thrilled as he could be. Lance was one to keep to himself.
Once he was at the studio, he waited for the scenes to wrap at the moment. Thankfully, it was one with Lance in it, but he kept wondering why his co-producer changed the recording schedule for the day. He called her apart to ask her, but even when they were talking a little apart from the recording set, he couldnât keep his eyes from going every time to Lance. He found out that he liked Lanceâs expressions. His eyes and lips, the way he gestured and moved around the space were something that caught his attention inmediately. Eventually, the lights went dim and back to normal, as the director called for the wrap and they were ready to shoot the next scene. It finally gave time for people to go on their lunch break, as the make-up crew and the other actors got ready for their parts. âThat was brilliant, Lance.â Jeffrey called, walking up closer to the young actor. He had a big smile on his face, which revealed he was actually pleased with the very little he got the chance to see. âI talked to Lucy, and she says you were nothing but amazing today. Congratulations!â he cheered, taking out his cellphone to check on some notifications from his e-mail and opened one in particular. âYou see, you need to go get ready right now. Iâm taking you to have lunch with me. Are you okay with that?â He knew that the chances were that the young boy had other plans at that moment, but he was hopeful he could say yes, given it was the very first day they got to work together like this, and not through his casting crew. It was since the last time he saw Lance he wanted to talk to him, and now he was inviting him to eat outside, just out of curiosity. He couldnât stop thinking about his positivity and passion for acting, and expected to learn more about it.
