February 18.
The first week, Jerry Maguire had an outstanding box office performah at least a signifit difference, earning 24 milliohe opening weekend, and with its success in the reviews, it was clear that it was favorably received.
Taking into at many mistakes, failures, and turning points, the film had its first weekend, and the statistics came in as fast as they should. But the growth was entirely driven by the statistical points carried by the men. Jerry Maguire brought in 40,000 in its first week, and their progress as an actor, writer, and illustrator tinued growing slowly but surely.
The meetings and castings had to be handled appropriately, the kind of work that could help resolve the produ timeline, which is long and fually different. Being part of the auditions for three or four days, many people have earhe favor to attend, and from other reaches, they’ve ducted various types of castings, but nothing seemed to please James Cameron, who always found some fw in how he perceived the initial character. It was like refreshing a first performahen pushing for the role, with different people; apparently, they’d hold several auditions to see the chemistry between actors, which is why numerous actors were selected.
-Mr. Carson, they’re waiting for you in the room,- someone called out.
Voices echoed in the produ office. He didn’t need anythira, as a tuft of hair fell over his face. The wardrobe was exactly as he imagined, and there was a serious man—Jon Landau—alongside James Cameron, who was sitting to the side, visibly frustrated. Billy could see that the audition process would be entirely different and awkward in an exasperating way, given the various issues and desires that pelled him to act. The first thing they asked him to do was walk around the room, followed by reading a few lines, which seemed different from what he typically had to do, pying the role of a poor boy—nothing too difficult.
Billy Carson:
Drawing: 35,8009
Literature: 32,900
Ag: 37,59229
Points: 0000
His points lit up after reag 34; he felt immensely relieved. To get to 36, he needed 9,999 points, but to reach 38, he needed 99,999 points, a plicated system. sidering the value of 37 points, it was that of a regur actor. Adding to his skills, he could stand out, but the system wouldn’t budge.
His performanded quickly and smoothly, and he bid farewell. James didn’t do him any favors, but they had more details to discuss. Jim Waiit deeply uood the kind of favors and held a small meeting behind the ses, where they discussed the projed the timeframe Billy wao participate.
“Altered Carbon.” – 20 points.
“The Expanse.” – 20 points.
“Mistborn.” – 20 points.
Three books to be published within the proper timeframe, each vastly different. For now, he’ll be writing Altered Carbon and Mistborn. For these series to be written, they just need a little more force, as they are signifit literary sagas, especially The Expanse, which could be turned into a profound series, an anime, or something uniquely Ameri in style.
Waiting for the right moment, in a small café, he’d soo Jon Landau and James Cameron for lunch. Meanwhile, Billy began writing the first chapter of Altered Carbon, a good way to pass the time amidst his frustrations.
This meeting might help secure a ce to be part of the series. The details are different; Titanibsp;is the event of the '90s, and being the lead is essential for what he seeks—an uable image, followers, and the foundation to create a major eai pany.

At the Fox Studios, Monid Winona were doing everything they could to make their roles in the main ses work. Monica was just a pilot who died halfway through the film, but it was the start of her fledgling career.
-You o take the green s at your own pace. It’s strange sometimes. You just have to pretend something’s there. This teology is weird, it makes my skin crawl. It’s o me, but everything that feels strange now might bee essential in the ing years, and a big part of our performances, - Winona whispered to Monica.
-I think it’s exg to feel exposed in front of the cameras, and that they’ll put the ‘dress’ on your performance,- Monica replied, happy and pletely absorbed in the new and different rec system.
They took note and captured the moment from various angles. It felt chosen, but here, it was different due to the difficulty—whether it was a quick shot or a long take, the gestures made the director doubt how people could perform in the room.
David Fincher frow the film’s imagery. It was quite peculiar. He was somewhat disappointed with the whole situation and the model. The set didn’t allow the actors to get close to each other, and the division of the set was rather annoying.
…
The rec ended, and the rhythm of celebration could be felt, ving everyo was a unique evening, which they’d call “a night in Soho,” fantastic for all.
-I heard you’re about to do a movie with a big budget,- Winona ented, brushing her hair. Both were in a dressing room, taking a long break.
-It’s called Liar Liar, - the dark-haired woman responded. -I py the role of a beautiful woman with a charming appeararying to take all her husband’s money. She’s a artist. And, well, I’ve been practig with Billy for the role. He’s gives of ideas that have helped me uand the character better. -
Both took up the script to practice together, like good friends, inseparable. They kept their private lives far from the media, o be in the spotlight, free from paparazzi. It erfed different from their usual, homey life—growing berries, reading books, with a gss of wine in hand.
-If only she didn’t like Billy so much,- though the dark-haired woman was in plete despair, feeling like she was carrying rocks on her shoulders. But the o excel and the urge to correct mistakes left no room for spiracy. She could only open her eyes and close the gap in her deaking.
-Thank you for being so siderate with me,- she whispered. W in Hollywood was vastly different from Fran terms of how things were filmed. It was, without a doubt, the best pce for these kinds of opportunities.
