Versatile Superstar: Rise In Hollywood Chapter 069

"How can you say that he's going to stay in the mind of people? Do you have that much confidence in your acting?"

When Henry tried to peer more into Aiden's answer, the latter gave an awkward smile and tried to explain.

"No, it's not about me, but the character. I think the character of Kai would stay in people's minds. Like I said, he's someone who will create a lot of impact in the story."

"But your role is small?"

"Yes." Aiden nodded. "But just because my role isn't a lot doesn't mean the character is not good."

Henry gave a smile and just moved on to the next question. There were a lot of interesting things he could ask of Aiden. Though, most of them would be edited before the magazine would publish.

The magazine was only interested in Aiden for a small column, so not a lot of points in the interview would be published.

"I heard Tyler Reed, another rookie that people think has a lot of potential, also auditioned for the same character. But in the end, you got the role. Do you think you were better than him?"

Henry asked, trying to get a little controversy once again. He had heard from one of his connections that Tyler was pretty angry over not getting a role in [Black Saints], so if he made it like there's a rivalry between the two of them, it would get a lot of eyes.

But Aiden was prepared.

"I can't really say that. I think that's a question better left to the director."

"Don't you have anything to say as you passed and he didn't? Maybe some sort of advice?"

"I'm no one to advise him."

Aiden stood firm on his opinion and Henry had no other way to move on to the next question. Frowning a bit, he looked at his notes and found an interesting point.

"I found out that you are not contracted with any other big agency. Is there a reason behind it?"

"Yeah, after thinking, I decided to opt for an agent from the free market. I just didn't want to put in a contract for a few years. Moreover, some offers I got only wanted me to focus on one aspect rather than both singing and acting. The free agent way was just more convenient for me."

Henry tried to get more information on the topic, finding it particularly interesting.

"I understand that but how do you feel when actors in the same age bracket like Judy Holland get roles in big movies? Judy even recently got a big part in a superhero movie which had a budget of over 200 million."

"I'm happy for their success but I don't think that I could succeed by taking a path that many others are already walking on. I know it will take time but I'm hoping I will make a name for myself in Hollywood someday."

Satisfied, Henry moved on to other questions. One by one, he asked a plethora of different questions about Aiden. From a bit on his family to the controversy with Rachel on X-Star and even, about his other future projects.

It was only after an hour that the interview ended.

"Is everything set up?"

Zavier asked his assistant director and glanced around. They were currently shooting in the middle of a street for a chase sequence. It was already a daunting task for Granite films to get permission from the authorities.

It was only when Titan studios had helped them that they had gotten the permission.

"Yes, the actors are ready too. We could begin at any second."

"Okay, we are going to take a lunch break If we don't get it right this time."

Zavier was getting impatient as it's already been half a day but the chase sequence was still not finished. It was a 3 minute chase sequence which was divided into several parts.

Even some residents that lived close to the street had gathered around the back, excited to see the shooting but after some hours, they had also left.

It was the part where Kai would be chased by Charlie Morgan. It was a pretty exciting scene starting from a chase on a foot which would then shift to cars in the middle.

The thing was that they were messing it up a lot, either because of a bad shot or the actors messing it up.

The chase sequence was already done with the help of stunt doubles but for the car scene, Zavier wanted the real actors to do it. Both of them had also agreed.

They were just very unlucky till now.

After talking with his assistant, he tapped the headset that he was wearing. It was already connected to both Aiden and Ray who were already sitting in the car.

"Aiden, Ray, try to make it work this time. It's just a one minute shot. The camera will take close ups of your face, so do it right."

"I understand!"

"Okay."

Two voices came out of the headset and satisfied, Zavier picked up his loudspeaker to inform the crew that they were going to take the shot now.

"Get ready, everyone! We are beginning!"

[Black SaintsOctober 28-2015Act 8Scene 6Take 9]

'I need to escape no matter what.'

That was the thought inside Aiden's mind as he found himself becoming one with Kai due to the effect of immersion. His mind started thinking a bit like how Kai would think. His skill gave him an edge over whichever character he played.

Without wasting any time, he stepped up on the accelerator of the car and charged forward. In the rear view mirror, he was able to see Charles' car chasing him.

"Not today, officer."

He muttered as he tried to turn around the corner. There were few people on the street but Kai didn't seem to care. He wasn't going to get caught today, especially by just a mere officer.

Somehow, someone had given enough evidence to the police department for them to get their hands on him. He knew that with his plans, nothing like that would happen.

So, there must be a rat in his gang and rats needed to be crushed.

He can't do that if he gets arrested. Though Kai was the youngest black saint, he still had a lot of powers. The previous Saint's contacts that he had received when he had killed the latter and taken his position were still available as last ditch effort.

Even if he got to jail, he would get out but the rat would escape before that.

'I needed to fucking kill him under my shoes.'

He thought and it was then, that he saw the crew standing at a point. The director's voice followed as his car crossed the point.

"Cut! Okay, That was good. It's finally done!"

Hearing that, on his earpiece, Aiden smiled. As soon as he had heard the cut, the immersion had ended and he was back to being his real self.

Though, it took a while for his aura to change that to Aiden. Whenever he would go through immersion, his aura would change a bit to Kai and it took a while for him to get it to normal.

[Your character affinity towards 'Kai' is increasing.]

As he suddenly got the message, he smiled.

"Yo rookie, you should drink when you are in a bar or go dance like Graham there."

Ray said, glancing curiously at Aiden and pointed at Graham Rude who was playing the main villain in [Black Saints]. He was a 50 year old veteran actor that had been a part of many movies and series throughout his career.

He was playing the role of the biggest mafia boss in Night City, Durham Rodrick.

At this point, the mafia boss was dancing to a pop song after having a couple of drinks. Watching him, Aiden couldn't help but think he has too much vitality for his age.

After the shooting, the cast had decided to go to a bar to celebrate the wrap of a busy day. Automatically, Aiden was invited too and from his time on set, he had gotten a good enough friendship with Ray and some other cast members.

"I was just thinking about tomorrow's shoot. The interrogation scene between Kai and Charles. I was wondering how I should be more like Kai during that as it's one of his last scenes."

Aiden addressed his worries and Ray thought for a bit before replying.

"You're already doing a good job. You play him with enough devilish aura or whatever they call it." Ray took a sip from his glass. "If you want to add more, try to think how he will behave in certain situations. Method acting is good to truly get the levels of characters to reach off the charts."

"I will try." Aiden nodded.

"Anyway, don't think of work in the bar. Just enjoy. Get a nice girl here and talk to her. You are single from what I know."

"Okay."

Aiden said with a smile and looked around the bar.
