The Incredible John — Roleplayer Guild

"3 billion dollars? For romance flick? Are you out of your mind Alex?" Patricia asked, yet again having another early morning head ache with her fiancee Alexander Frost in front of the CEO's of Midnight Studios, the Goldbloom twins.

"It's not just a romance 'flick' Pat, it's a story of conflicting ideologies, of ages of seperation, hatred and distrust from your own countrymen, of fighting against the odds, of finding common ground with your enemies..." Alex went on, defending the cost of his new proposed movie.

"It's about an American military guard falling in love with an East German and getting her out of the country during the cold war. It's a romance flick Alex. Romance flicks don't cost 3 f**king billion dollars to make. Were not even sure this is profitable."

"It's new, it's a fresh idea, it has a captivating plot and it's never been done before, not the way I'm making it. People would flock to the big screen to watch this."

"Alex, people don't want new or fresh or complex plots. They want something simple that they already watched before and that they would enjoy without having to think about it."

"Not everybody out there are idiots Pat. There are still some people who appreciate a good movie that doesn't have an explosion every f**cking 15 minutes."

"There aren't enough of those people to make a movie like this profitable. besides, you made 3 action movies Alex, that's what you do. You don't change genres because it might end badly."

"Cool it you two." David Goldbloom said, the old man looking at the two like a father disappointed at his children's quarreling. "I like the script and I think we should make a pretty penny out of this. It wont be a block buster but it should still get positive reviews. What do you think Dan?"

His brother, Daniel Goldbloom, took his eyes of the script he was holding and looked at the other people in the room. "I think the script is pretty good too but before I and my brother go out for breakfast, I just want to run through the basics. Tell me where you want to shoot this, who's going to be in it and how long do you think the filming would take?"

Alex combed his blond hair and smiled, he knew his script was already approved. "I want to shoot it in Germany..."

"Stop." David interrupted him. "If we do go for this, we film this in our studio here and in our plots of land around upstate."

"We can't film a movie about Germany outside of Germany." Alex calmly protested. "It just takes away the authenticity of the film."

"Can it Alex, there is no way in hell I'm letting you film this outside of the states. If it does come to that, the farthest I'm letting you go is Canada." David responded. Alex grumbled a little bit and Patricia had a sly smile on her face. "Now go on."

"I still don't have anybody in mind for the roles. I think this model, Erica Montgomery, has the right look for Amada but I don't know if she could act. I'll try to get in contact with her, she if can handle the role. As for the main role, Laurence the military guard, I want somebody new for this role. Somebody who hasn't done much of this type of character yet."

"I don't know who this Montgomery person is but I'll have my people contact her. You told me she was a model?" Daniel asked.

"A friend of mine knows her and I've seen her in some ads on the t.v. Put on a blonde wig on her and she's practically has everything Laurence described in his book. Like I said, she's only been known for modeling but I think we could make this work. A few acting lessons and I'll take care of the rest."

"I don't know about this..." Daniel followed. "But I'll take a look at her first if we do go on with filming this. Now, how long do you think the filming would last."

"Since we are filming this in California..." Alex rolled his eyes. The twins frowned at this and Patricia gave Alex a serious look. A look that said they'll get fired if he keeps acting like a jack**s. "I say it would take 8 to 10 months tops. Of course editing the films would take about two months or so, so a year to complete the film all together."

"Sounds good. Look you two, we'll talk about this in more detail over dinner at my place. Be there at around 7 and don't be late. Don't go drinking either, that means you Patricia. Now if you excuse us, we'll be having breakfast now." David said, standing up and shaking both their hands.
