Versatile Superstar: Rise In Hollywood Chapter 094

For the next week, Aiden just stayed in the hospital, occasionally strolling around and just checking up on the internet or reading novels most of the time.

Normally, it would have been pretty boring to be in the hospital but everyday, he felt nothing less than a star during his stay.

Mostly everyone in the hospital had watched his viral video. They treated him like a star and he signed many autographs.

Many nurses even tried to hit on him and Aiden wasn't lying if he said that he enjoyed his small vacation a lot. But as soon as it ended and he was healthy enough to stand up on the stage again, he joined Dreamers on the last round of shows they had.

Cameron was doing good as the vocalist but when people saw Aiden on the stage, they went wild and they ended most of their shows housefull.

'Revolution' had broken all records and done great publicity for the anime and Animeroll was anticipating it to break all ratings as soon as it started airing.

"'Revolution' crossed 110 million views on MeTube. What's the streaming number?"

A female employee from the PR department of Animeroll said. She was one of those working on [Attack for Freedom].

She looked a bit haggard due to working too much but there was a thin smile on her face.

Stephen had promised everyone working on [Attack for Freedom] a big bonus if the anime is a big hit. By all estimates, it was going to be more than a big hit.

"102 million streams just on Melody. Other streaming services have a lot of views too." A male employee replied, not looking up from the screen of his computer.

"Like this, Dreamers are probably the best rookie band in all of America or maybe the world. It's kind of a pity that they are not a real band."

"You are just saying that because they are breaking up." Another guy with brown hair said. "Actually, a lot of people online don't want them to break up and want a full album."

Before they know it, the employees have started a discussion around Dreamers and 'Revolution'. They have been monitoring and controlling the views about them online for over a month so, they were naturally invested in them.

Some employees in Animeroll had even become big fans of the band.

"If they release an album currently, I'm pretty sure it would be a big hit. They are kind of stupid to not go for it."

One of the employees voiced his opinion while clicking his tongue.

"They just have different ambitions. Actually, I heard their agent saying that a lot of record labels have shown interest in them. Some big ones too but the members don't want to work in a band."

"Is there any rift in the band?" A girl asked, turning around to look at the guy who had spoken before her.

"No. Jackson is already with Cyco media. They just let him work this time but he's going to debut in one of their bands sooner or later. They actually got lucky with him getting a lot of attention with 'Revolution'. As for Emily, she's going back to Korea and Cameron… I don't have any idea about him but he may sign up with a record label or make independent music."

"What about Aiden? He's the most famous of them all."

The girl asked the question that was on everyone's mind. Aiden was the center of Dreamers and people had come to know about the band just because of him.

"He already has an acting career aside from singing. I'm pretty sure singing is just secondary for him as his agent primarily focuses on actors."

"Wasn't he going to be in the movie that would be released in March? I forgot the name of it."

"[Black Saints], right?"

An employee said and others nodded. It was rumoured that the trailer was going to come soon and the movie would release at the end of March.

"Was he signing some more projects after that?"

"I have not heard about it. These days, he's just doing shows, do I doubt he has any time for auditions?"

"He's famous now. He might get some offers without searching for them."

"Only if it's an offer for a musical. He's nothing in Hollywood currently."

Like that, the employees discussed the prospect of Aiden's next project after 'Revolution'. They had no idea of it and could just speculate that he might be in a new movie or work or another song.

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time performing with all of you. Thanks for everything." Emily said, looking at her bandmates with a bit of tears in her eyes. Then, she glanced at Aiden. "Especially you Aiden. I will miss Dreamers a lot."

They were currently outside the airport to say goodbye to Emily who was going to fly to Korea. Both Jackson and Cameron were also going to leave in a few hours. Jackson was returning to the Cyco media office in Los Angeles and Cameron was going to meet his grandfather who lives in San Francisco.

Their band activists have finally ended and it was time to part ways.

"Not like we are never going to perform together again. You can call me anytime to work on a song."

Aiden said, giving Emily a hug. They have decided to not disband the band for good as Dreamers have gotten a lot of fans for itself. Jackson had created a MeTube channel for it and it already has 258k subs.

It was significant considering the official music video of 'Revolution' was posted on Animeroll MeTube channel and this account only had some background snippets and videos from their shows.

The final outcome was to make music together once in a while or collaborate in some projects in the future.

That way, all of them would be able to focus on their individual careers and Dreamers would stay in the background.

"I hope to see you all again. Take care."

Emily said and entered the airport. After a while, Jackson also left as his flight was just after Emily.

"Call me if you all are in Los Angeles. All the best in your careers and don't hesitate to call me if you need any help."

Saying that, Jackson left and now, only Cameron and Aiden were left standing besides each other. Wade was in the car, messaging someone who he didn't really like. At least that's what Aiden got from his expression.

"So, will you be in San Francisco for a while?" Aiden asked, trying to not let the atmosphere become awkward. Normally, Cameron wasn't the one to talk a lot.

"Yeah, I will stay with him for a while, trying to work on a song. My uncle has a small record label and he asked me if I want to work with him. I'm thinking of agreeing to it."

"That's some news. I thought you don't like being chained."

That's what Cameron had told him when he had asked why he didn't sign off with a record label like Rachel.

"I still don't but my thoughts have changed a bit. I realised I will fall behind a lot if I keep thinking that I can do everything on my own. I need to use the connections that I have."

"That's true. It seems like you will go mainstream soon too. Just stop smoking and I'm pretty sure you will be a bit hit."

Cameron didn't say anything on that and Aiden secretly looked at his system and found out that he had already broken into Intermediate Grade 3.

He couldn't help but frown inwardly, feeling a bit jealous of Cameron's limit break skill.

'Why are there so many main characters around me? Jackson has too much luck and Cameron has an anime protagonist like skill.'

As he thought that, Cameron suddenly opened his mouth.

"Actually, I wanted to say thank you." Aiden raised an eyebrow at that.

"Why?"

"You gave me a chance to work on 'Revolution'. In Los Angeles, I was just wasting everything I have daily due to a loss in a competition. When I saw you working harder after losing, I really felt like I had stayed behind. Thanks to that, I feel like I would be a better musician now."

Cameron said with a smile which Aiden knew was a very rare thing. He pushed his hand forward and Aiden shook it with a smile.

"I called you because I thought you would be perfect for it. You handled the whole band in my absence too."

"Good luck on whatever you are going to do next. Knowing you, it won't be something simple."

Cameron and he talked a bit more after that about their future plans and career before it was time for his flight. While leaving, Cameron told him to call him whenever he needed something as his family still has a lot of influence in Hollywood.

Aiden felt like due to working together, he had become better friends with everyone, especially Cameron.

Though he didn't know how his friendships were going to help him out in the future.

"It looks like I'm finally a bit free now." Wade said as Aiden sat down in the car. "I thoroughly understand the pain of managers who handle singers and bands. It's way more exhausting than an actor. One of my friends used to be the manager of a teenage boy band and he rightfully said that it's like getting four kids out of nowhere and looking after them."

"You still need to handle my singing schedules, so you won't be completely free of it."

Aiden said and Wade dejectedly nodded his head.
