Chapter 739 - 739 Shooting
Our bored gamer noticed the funny gazes unto his person and he could only smile in reply. This reaction was nothing out of the ordinary at all.
He knew that with his identity as Albert Hayes, he would certainly raise a couple of eyebrows in this gathering. Not that he cared for such minor matters.
Clark found himself an empty table in the corner and basically kept to himself thereafter. He ate and drank wine as usual which gathered the attention of many.
With how much meat he consumed, it would be shocking not to.
"Look at him eat."
"What a pig!"
"Is he only here for the food?!" Many negative opinions were aired in secret but there were others who thought differently.
"Does Albert Hayes usually look this way? I can\'t remember ever seeing him this fit." A famous actress commented.
She has meticulous eyes and she could see well enough that our bored gamer was a man who was great in many things.
Her eyes particularly lingered on the tough muscled frame of our very own protagonist which that business suit on him could hardly ever cover.
This famous actress was of course not alone in this view.
Almost all young and healthy beautiful girls in the room would at times steal a glance or two unto the very charismatic form of our avid gamer.
In reply to it all, Clark offered a blind attitude to this silent appraisal.
"Good evening to everyone!" A fat man took the stage an hour later. This was the director of the film who was tasked to complete this great undertaking in just 2 months.
He would have normally passed this as an absurd wish but money could really move mountains and minds. In the end, the fat man could only try his best.
"I know that you\'ve all been wondering who would take the role of Mr. Invincible." The fat director started.
He has been pestered nonstop by the cast since the beginning and he could only delay the inevitable.
But since they will start shooting the film in less than 2 days, there was no point in prolonging it at all.
"Well, there he is." The fat director waved a hand towards the corner of the room. There were only spare people there as everyone wanted to take the spotlight for themselves.
Nevertheless, it was clear who the director meant with his words. There was silence for a moment as they tried to digest this information. After that, a voice of unbelief followed.
"HAHAHA! This is a nice joke, Director Wells!" A man laughed and clapped his hands at the same time. It did not take for others to join him.
"Yes, indeed. Although Albert Hayes is a good actor, surely he can\'t take the most important role of the film for himself." Another actor commented loudly.
"The role is his. I hope that everyone will support each other so that we can make the greatest movie of all time!"
The fat Director Wells pumped a fist and immediately stepped down from the stage. It did not need telling that he also had the same feeling as everyone else.
He watched a couple of Albert Hayes\' works in the past days and he was not satisfied with what he saw. In his honest opinion, the man was just a subpar actor at best.
He requested to replace Albert with another actor but the producer slapped him with a big no. In the end, Director Wells could only accept the mandate of his boss.
"..." Everyone looked at our bored gamer with surprise. They were trying to find reasons why he would land this epic role amongst thousands of greater actors than him.
Alas, their minds could simply not conjure anything believable enough for them to hold on to. To their curious glances, Clark could only offer a shrug.
He left shortly when he was done eating his long and sumptuous meal.

Two days later, everyone arrived in a dome filled with a bluish background. This will be the place where everything in the movie will take place.
Since there was practically an infinite amount of money to use in this film, Director Wells decided to use special effects for everything.
He got several teams gathering background scenes from all over the world and the little things they could only create on set.
This would also save them time from any traveling they would have to make if they choose to shoot on different locations.
This decision alone required thousands of professionals to work together since the crew was simultaneously making and bringing everything from scratch.
Thus, the filming began just as scheduled.
"ACTION!"
"Do it again! I need more emotion!"
"CUT!"
"AGAIN!" The voice of a fat director rang in the scene. It was easy to tell that Director Wells was indeed a perfectionist.
This was the reason why he was one of the best directors in the world. He did not want to provide trash unto his audience.
"That\'s a wrap for today! Good job!" And the day started and ended inside this huge blue dome. The next day came and the usual stuff repeated.
Our bored gamer at this time was also on the scene. It was not his turn yet on the camera but he was satisfied to look at the efforts of the actors and actresses around him.
"With this much star power, I\'d reckon that billions of people would be thrilled to watch this movie. They won\'t miss it for anything in the world!" Clark smiled at this thought.
This was the reason why he wanted to gather only the most famous people in the circle.
Since they have their own fans already, it would be too easy to get much exposure when the movie finally comes out.
As a result, billions of people would also get to know our very own protagonist along the way.

One week quickly passed and it was finally our good gamer\'s chance to act. Many wanted to see him mess up and so smiles were everywhere.
They wanted to see a comedy more than any other.
