Excerpt from my fiction : [OLIVIA ........>>>>...
" I am a film producer, as you have already known; yesterday I guessed potential talent of acting in you from your facial expression, while presenting the music..... .
I heard from your manager that you performed several times in T.V. and your next dream is to get a chance in the big screen. I am also in search of some new face for the 'rival character' of heroin, say, anti-heroine for my next film.
I have called the director also to bring the script; if you like and accept the role you need to sign up the agreement. I will pay you some amount as advance after you sign up. Most of the suiting site will be in Vancouver and Montana, but not exactly in the town you live in.
Well, .....so far I presented you in brief a full picture of my project .
....What's your opinion?"
Bill asked jovially with a quick questioning look.
A middle-aged man with well-built body.... in sky blue shirt and navy blue denim pants,....broad forehead under well-combed hair,..-sharp but curious look from blue eyes through photochromatic glass with a sharp nose and french cut beard ; a huge dialed watch perfectly matching to the manly wrist, the diamond ring in the ring finger and a sapphire in the middle finger resting on the steering; Olivia was so absorbed in watching and inhaling an enchanting smell, smell of sweaty male-body cocktail with perfume!
Being knocked by Bill second time with the same question, Olivia answered stammering, "e-e-ya-sounds good!"
******************************************************
The Mercedes stopped near the entrance of the hotel 'W..'
Olivia entered the hotel following Bill through security screening. She was in a state of clumsy contraptions in the huge and gorgeous, super luxurious lounge. She struggled hard for being calm and cool; she lifted the goggles over her head.
Bill moved towards a man seated on the nearest sofa,
"Hi Morris, have I kept you waiting for a long time?", Bill asked warmly.
" Not at all, I have reached just now."
Bill introduced, "this is Olivia; I choose her to replace Cynthia, if you are satisfied after screen-test, then let us continue the shooting from next week without any break."
Then turning towards Olivia he continued , .........
"And this is Mr Morris Lowery: talented and versatile person: film director cum camera-man cum author, cum-scriptwriter... everything and everything,-my true complementary!"
Bill finished his introduction chapter in one breathe and quite emotionally!
Mr Morris a tall lean person with lots of uncombed hair which almost covered his forehead, clothed in a home-cleaned laundry-fresh off-white striped shirt and khaki,( almost knee-high) shorts and two oversized feet in strap on 'Tiva' shoes resting on the glossy marble floor. As Olivia lifted her eyes, she was caught under the screening eyes of Morris, observing her through his high-powered glass with heavy dar'k brown frame. Suddenly Olivia felt nervous to think that 'Could Morris reject her role?'
Why was Morris scrutinizing her so minutely?
Morris informed calmly that he had brought the script for her perusal and he would take several snaps of her, from different angles.
.........(a sigh of relief from Olivia)............
"I had some recent photos with me!"
Olivia immediately handed over to Morris an envelope with some of her photos, from her vanity bag.
Looking at his wristwatch Bill proposed, "It is almost 7 PM; let us go to the dining hall and we can discuss there the script and related matter of the movie during dinner time..."
Olivia read the script while taking a sip of wine with a starter. Bill was discussing with Morris other issues of the film.
Olivia liked her role in the movie; her character was stronger than the heroine and the impact ran up to the last episode of the story. She signed up the contract paper after finishing the dessert. Bill offered her a cheque as advance payment........
"So Olivia, you will be informed very soon when and where the next site for shooting will take place. You will not see me very often. I come only if some problem props up. Morris looks after this unit sincerely."
He patted Morris, who smiled courteously.
It was twelve past fifteen. Morris gave thanks to Bill and bade goodnight.
Turning back to Olivia Bill asked, "Do you stay back to the same accommodation?"
Olivia answered, "No, I tried to reserve it for an extra day, but could not manage as the package was with the team."
Then Bill said to Olivia, "I stay in a suite which has enough place. If you feel free, I can share it with you!"
Olivia accepted the proposal and said, "Thank you, Bill, for your generosity!"
As they entered the 'suit' Olivia saw her cabin suitcase already reached in the room. Olivia opened the suitcase for her nightdress.
