March 13.

  Northern California Military Base, North-West Los Angeles.

  The days were long and tiring, but Billy's pace was fantastic. Ronald Emmerich praised Billy's work; he was always ready when needed. He was undoubtedly a professional. Eveired, he delivered great performances and, with a bit of practice, could give fantastic performances. Billy arrived at 9:00 am after exerg. It seemed today was the st se they needed him for.

  At the door of the stars, they'd had a few rounds yesterday, but due to fatigue after raight hours, they decided to pause everything to finish as quickly as possible.

  -It was a good decision; this young man is undoubtedly a great actor, Ronald, -- said Graet. -- I was somewhat surprised wheed for hiring a total newbie, even underage. He's left me satisfied with his performance. -

  Graet is a producer at bia (Sony Pictures). Though not widely known, she's reized for her precision in film produ, handling schedules, locations, and produ and post-produ studios like clockwork. She has been in the industry for 23 years and has failed only twice.

  -It's surprising that you rejected the designated James Spader and chose a rookie, - tinued Grace.

  -Well, when I saw him, I had this feeling, it was like an epiphany in my mind. Think about it, Grace; he's not even half my age, and his performance is impeccable. There's no one in his geion with such skills. If he keeps improving, we'll be seeing an Antony Hawkings, an Al Pao. I don't know, but based oing I see, I'm fident in my vision, provided he doesn't sck off, - said Ronald Emmerich.

  - lost case? - asked Graet.

  -A lost case, - said Ronald Emmerich. What makes Hollywood? What makes an actor stand out? It doesn't need much more than patiend sistency—the patieo live a banced life or be intelligent. PR is a signifit part of ag.

  Billy would improve and tio do so. ht days of work, he had eight points of admiration, nine points of appreciation, and 34 points of excitement. Though the sce of winning is , he uood that many of these gains were due to his ag efforts.

  Billy Carson walked in sportswear, feeling good about the deade; things were falling into pce from the long wait to get into Hollywood and the prior studio work he did. He had a steady point t per month, gainiween 400 and 700 points. Eventually, that t rose to 900 points, and he could enhance his ag skills as much as he wanted.

  He took a deep breath as he ehe studio where he'd performed i days. Tickets had been purchased, and in four days, he'd be at the national park in Yuma, where they'd shoot ses about the pyramids. Today's trip to the military base took two hours by car and an old abandoned military base. Ses from the previous days were repeated.

  -Status -

  [Billy Carson:

  Drawing: 31,212

  Literature: 30,530

  Ag: 30,603

  Points: 500]

  However, the main problems arise as people start getting aced to his ag skills, which causes him to lose a higher t of points. Therefore, Billy's challenge has been to tinue perf early to keep gaining points sistently from those impressed by his work iing studio, in addition to the points collected from the ics. What matters most are the admiration points.

  -It's pretty hot, - a cameraman remarked.

  -Billy, you o get ready for the final se. We'll start rec ihan 10 minutes. No pressure, kid, but time is short, -said Nigel.

  -No problem, - Billy said, smiling.

  ried to say something but stopped; it's better to keep trusting. - the assistant thought.

  Se 35, take 6.

  The silo floor was filled with sophisticated maery of various kinds; it was a highly teological operatioer. At the ter of this metallidscape of puters, cables, sensors, and steel ptforms was the giant ring. It seemed to be the tral po of an endless and dazzling mae.

  -What the hell is that? - asked Daniel/Billy.

  -Your Stargate, - said Catherine.

  A broad ramp asded from the ground to the ptform and the tral opening of the ring. Now that it was and polished, there was no doubt it was made of metal. It resembled opal and was semi-transparent, dispersing the surrounding light in various colors at the same time.

  -Did you find this i? - Daniel asked.

  -Take him down and see if he identify that 'seventh symbol, ′ - —and as O'Neill made to obey, West added— - Not you, el. We o talk. -

  Catherine led Daniel and a dozen curious onlookers down a narrow spiral staircase to the 'phone booth,' where the teis, who were stantly keeping an eye, were notably surprised to see the sudden intrusion of that group of tourists into their quiet workspace.

  Billy was fully immersed in his role in the uping ses. The transition is very smooth, and Ronald Emmerich isn't someone who calls cut very often. He even allows certain liberties in ag, as long as he finds it suitable.

  -Stop, - said Billy/Daniel, pointing at the s. "Here," said Daniel/Billy, drawing two people with a bck marker, f the isoted symbol they hadn't been able to interpret.

  -The Earth, - excimed Dr. Shore.

  -Thassa, - said Meyers.

  -Eureka, - said Billy/Daniel.

  -This whole time, it's been right in front of our noses, - Storey said, adding to the perplexity of the people in the room, or at least that was the portrayal they aimed for in some way or another.

  The following ses involved other actors and the typing on a green s, the feeling of ag with so much s space caused some surprise, as most of it was a green s, with a few exceptions.

  -Cut, - said the director.

  -We'll resume in thirty minutes, - said Ronald  Emmerich.

  The following shots were not relevant, and Billy remained engaged i take, ohat would lead him on a starry journey.

  Kurt Russell was as stoic as ever, sipping on coffee while listening to his assistant discuss various matters. Billy mostly chose to ighe set's enviro; there was a certain tension and limited time, and everyone was fatigued from the shooting aitive takes.

  The military base was bustling, everyone was busy, and some actors were gathered to chat about the film. It seemed Kurt was a method actor. Though it was said that he smiled during the set, alongside Billy, the boundary between character and actor blended in a vivid fgration.

  -Kid, the director decided to cel the ake. It's two iernoon, and we'll take half an hour for lunch, -said Nigel.

  -Ah, sure, - said Billy, having fotten about lunch.

  Nigel could only shake his head. "Ronald invites you to lunch with him. The shoot will take a little looday, so, son, have a satisfying meal," said Nigel.

  -I'll follow your lead, Mr. Nigel, - said Billy, to whiigel hey arrived at a dining area where the entire crew was having lunch. Ronald Emrich, Kurt Russell, and a woman he didn't know were there.

  Billy took a seat at the long round table, perhaps nis, across from Kurt Russell, with Ronald and Grace at one end.

  -You're one of the first to arrive; others will join soon, - said Ronald.

  Indeed, a little ter, executive producer Joel B. Michaels arrived, along with Oliver Eberli, followed by Viveca Lindfors, who portrays Katherine.

  versations flowed throughout the meal, but eventually, the questions began, eg the words of Jim Waitt, -Everything will be used against you, so be prudent. -

  -Where did you e from, young man? I know many young actors, but few with your abilities, - asked Graet.

  -I've been involved ier since I was young, in my school and a few other academies, - said Billy.

  -Well, you've done great work. I know the name of this academy? - inquired Grace.

  -Umm, Academy of Grand Arts and Improvisation, - said Billy. He wasn't lying; it's just that the branch was in San Jose.

  -These academies are quite astonishing. In my time, experience was gaihrough practice, but with the newer ways, ag has started to beore formalized, - mentioned Oliver Eberli, the producer of Stargate.

  -You're n. Now, the world has this anticipation with Hollywood," said Kurt Russell, a bit more posed. He was someone who had learned everything about the industry, from television to movies, during his w hours.

  -Well, that doesn't ge the fact that we see more young actors here and there every day, - added Ronald Emmerich.

  -Have you done any performances before? Why not earlier? - inquired Grace.

  -I was in school, and my father decided I should finish first, - replied Billy. This time, a bit more personal. Kurt, Ronald, and Oliver were engaged in discussions about the best films, while Grace locked her gaze on Billy.

  -Uandable. Jim spoke to you; there's this new film 'Little Women.' We have a great cast, and the shoot begins in July. You'll have to audition by then, but I believe you'll e out triumphant against the other petitors, - said Grace.

  -Thank you, Mrs. Grace, for the opportunity, - said Billy.

  - Don't worry, young man. We're just doing our job. It's a wheel. If you deliver a great performance here, people will likely start notig you, - said Grace. cealing that the retionship she's building will make it hard for Billy to refuse a favor ter. The industry moves like a wheel, and the more you know, the more you gain. Here, the more you know, the more you win.

  Oher hand, the versation among the three men was no lie. Even they know that Hollywood is ging. It's easier to say that films have garnered more funds and qualitative leaps, and what was onon—those blockbusters—are now seen more frequently. Worldwide premieres and grand tours. Previously, North America didn't expand its distribution els much, but sihe te '80s, this issue started being more recurrent.
