*Edit* GAH! I hate the new blogger...it really messed up my format...sorry for it looking so ugly...it's fixed now.

~ Coburg Bar~
Ron: Can I get a whisky on the rocks
Bartender: You got it
Moments later Ron was on his second drink of the night, when he heard
the sound a woman’s voice
Lady: Excuse me sir
Ron: I’m not interested, sorry
Lady: Well, you dropped your wallet
Ron: My wallet? (He started feeling his pocket and realized it was
empty)
Lady: Here (she handed him his wallet)
Ron: Must’ve fallen out when I tried to search for my phone or
something. Thanks
Lady: Not a problem
Ron: How about I buy you a drink then, as an apology and thanking you
for picking up my wallet
Lady: Sure. I’d like a Pina Colada
Bartender: Here you go
Lady: Thanks
Ron: So...are you waiting for friends
Lady: I was...but she called and cancelled on me, so I thought I’d have
a drink anyways before heading home...
Ron: Oh
Lady: You?
Ron: I’m just having a drink, but...I’m also trying to avoid heading
home...my mom’s on the ‘the world is going to end, and I have no grandchildren,
or daughter-in-law’ rampage
She laughed: Oh, well, at least your parents don’t tell you ‘this is
what happens when you let girls go to school, now that they’re successful, men
are intimidated, so she’ll live with us for the rest of her life’
Ron laughed: I guess your story makes mine sound a bit less horrifying
Lady: Yup...I remember once my dad even told me how men were afraid I’d
castrate them
Ron: What? No way...
Lady: I know, right...
Ron: I’m Ron by the way and you are...if you don’t mind telling me of
course
Lady: Linda
At that moment is phone rang
Ron: Sorry, I really have to take this call
Linda: No problem
Moments later he came back
Ron: Hey, I’m really glad we bumped into each other but I have to get
going...something happened at work and it seems as though they can’t resolve it
without me...so...
Linda: Oh, that’s fine...I’m just about to leave as well...but probably
after I finish my drink
Ron smiled: Well...here’s my card (hands her his business card),
hopefully we get to meet again and compare notes on our parents
Linda smiled: That sounds good and here’s mine (hands him her business
card)
Ron: Great, bye
Linda: Bye
After he left, she finally had the chance to take a look at his
business card
Linda: A director? He must really think I’m some naive movie star
wannabe...typical
~ Studio Main Entrance~
Bosco: Thank goodness you’re back
Ron: What’s going on? Were you actually waiting for me?
Bosco: No...I just had nothing better to do than stand around at the
main entrance
Ron: So, what happened?
Bosco: Remember how the producer had to use two main female leads
instead of one...
Ron: Ya, and?
Bosco: Well...the other one came in and saw us editing the
footages...she asked to see what we had so far...and well...she was unhappy
that she had less screen time
Ron: So?
Bosco: Ron, do you know who she is?
Ron: An actress
Bosco: She’s one of the company’s shareholder’s daughters
Ron: I know, I told you that... and?
Bosco: Fine, since you obviously think this is some trivial issue, how
about you go and resolve it then
Ron: Isn’t that why you called in the first place?
Bosco: Seriously, with this attitude your mom has every right to worry
Ron looked at him: Ok...well...it’s really your fault my mom has to
worry
Bosco: What now?
Ron: Before you gave me that panic call, I was having one of the most
interesting conversations with this lovely lady...
Bosco: Really?
Ron: Ya, she even gave me her business card before I left, take a look
(hands him the card)
Bosco: Cardiologist? Really? Or is this your mom’s doctor?
Ron: Fine, don’t believe me...I’ll go on in...and resolve this
first...then we’ll talk about the loss you made me endure
Bosco chuckled: Well...you could always give her a call...unless...this
is the type of woman who is playing hard to get by handing out a business card
that has the word cardiologist on it implying she can easily play with your
heart
Ron: That’s my thought exactly. And now if you excuse me, I have an
actress I need to take care of
Bosco: Yes, charm her into submission
~Ron’s office~
Ron: So, how can I help you?
Sire: Well...I came back because I was curious as to how everything
gets edited and put together...so I asked them to show me what they have so
far...and then I realized that half of my scenes were cut
Ron: I think you might be exaggerating a little bit...
Sire: Well...we’ve been filming a good 12-14 hours a day for the past
month...I didn’t expect there to be that much of me but still as the
co-star...I expected at least half of the screen time...
Ron: You have to look at it this way...some of your scenes were cut
because they weren’t perfected enough yet...we’ll probably have to go back and
re-film to make sure everything is actually together and works out
smoothly...so you shouldn’t worry about your screen time (He puts a hand on her
shoulder) As long as you’re really working hard, even if you don’t have half
the screen time, the audience can still appreciate you as a good actress...
Sire: You really think so?
Ron smiled: Of course...that’s why a lot of supporting roles get a lot
more noise than the leads...think of Laughing Sir
Sire: I guess it’s true...so there might be a chance that we will be re-filming
a few scenes then
Ron nodded: Of course...plus I’ll be the one making the final judgement
over the editing...so...we’ll see
Sire: Thanks! (She stood up and gave him a hug)
Ron smiled: Not a problem...just work hard ok?
Sire smiled: I will, thanks Ron...you don’t mind if I call you by your
first name, right?
Ron: Just, avoid that when we film...ok?
Sire: Sure
Moments later he left his office and was greeted by Bosco
Bosco: She looks a lot happier now...what did you do?
Ron: I spoke to her...and told her that she shouldn’t worry...as long
as she works hard, even if her screen time is reduced the audience will still
appreciate her
Bosco: Anything else?
Ron: What are you implying?
Bosco: I don’t know...young actress, whose father is extremely wealthy,
and a young handsome director, in the same room...
Ron smiled: Well...I did get a hug...
Bosco smirked: Is that all?
Ron: What do you think happened?
Bosco: I don’t know, she seems like she’s into you...so...I only
presumed that she started up this tantrum to get some attention from our
handsome director here
Ron: Is that it? Wow...maybe I should be careful...don’t want any
rumours to start...
Bosco: Uh huh...speaking of rumours, did you hear what’s going on with
Ka-wing
Ron: Ya...something about being aloof and self-centred...but that
doesn’t sound like the Kevin we know
Bosco: You know how he is...he doesn’t go around trying to please
everyone...poor guy is always misunderstood
Ron: Funny how they’re only talking about his ‘personality’ now when
he’s all famous and stuff...and that’s why I don’t film series or movies that
involves these old shifus and masters
Bosco laughed: That’s why you film series and dramas with pretty female
leads who love being in your company
Ron smiled: I like working with people I like...that’s why I’m always
working with you and Myolie
Bosco: Maybe it’s because we’re the only two assistant director and
production manager that can stand your
personality
=====================================
Yay!!! They finally met...I hope that their meeting was interesting rather than just something you've seen before...I don't know. And the ending, I just thought I should kinda express how I felt about the whole Kevin Cheng incident thing...I was actually going to post a rant...but thought, it's probably not a great idea. However, I do have to say this
I really don’t like these martial artists who think just because they have seniority and such that they expect everyone to listen to them. If that is the case there will never be any progress. People have to ask questions, people have to have their own opinions. Yes, you should respect your elders and those around you, but what I’ve learned is that respect should be mutual. If they do not respect you, they do not respect your individuality then they do not deserve your respect. Now, this may sound really harsh, but that’s what I believe in. Respect is gained, it is not a given, sometimes people need a bit of reminding...so good on Kevin.
Ya...that's about it...so remember to comment and I'll be back soon...thanks for the reminder about my other fanfics...I will get to them since I'm off now (though I'm in the middle of graduate applications).
Remember to comment,
Randomness...OUT!!!
