Chapter 81: Chapter 81

The following day, after freshening up, Will directly opened his laptop and started going through the top articles. Most of them had a new top headline.

| [Sherlock Holmes] sequel officially declared to come in 2012-13. 

In recent weeks, [Sherlock Holmes] has become the biggest dark horse. It's the birth of a new billion-dollar franchise, and the audience is welcoming it with their arms wide open. After the abysmal failure of the Z Studio's [Detective Sherlock Holmes] in the 90s, no other director took on the challenge of directing such an intriguing yet tough movie. 

On the other hand, the star rookie director, now called by many names such as the biggest gambler of Hollywood, Hollywood's New Face, etc., took on this adventurous task and delivered a movie so amazing that the audience's faces have gone 'Wow'. 

Yes, not only had he cleared his name of being a one time star in Hollywood, but he also proved his worth by delivering another blockbuster on a whole different level than his previous one. All the accusations from the critics who said he can only direct a movie in the first person were proven wrong by his masterpiece and precisely directed movie, [Sherlock Holmes].

From the set to shooting, editing, music, and even the actors, everything went in such a flow that it was hard to point out any flaws. The movie had crossed the $700 million mark, which nobody had crossed in the last three years and its box office was still in counting. Fans have been waiting for news regarding the sequel as the first movie's climax clearly succeeded in teasing the audience with a sequel.

And today, Foxtar has officially announced the sequel of the movie. And not just one, but two sequels. One will be released in late 2012 or early 2013, while the other's release date is still unofficial, but it's predicted to come around 2016. 

With this news out, fans out there can take a breather and have the peace of mind that they will be getting sequels to this masterpiece, and Will will continue the franchise. |

Such types of articles were everywhere, and the audience was going wild. There were even creations of Sherlock Holmes Fanclubs dedicated to the movie [Sherlock Holmes] and the team. Almost everyone in the main cast had had a popularity boost, including Levi Richard, Rachel and Ewan.

Two weeks ago, Ewan had even signed a role for the movie [Birdman] by Simon Vercetti. Robert was one of the people who enjoyed the most significant boost, and he directly became an A-lister.

His fan following increased every day, and his social media gained an immense follower boost. By the time it was the end of 4th week, he already had more than a million followers on Sparrow.

Everyone was very impressed with his acting in [Sherlock Holmes], and many fans went as far as to curse the whole Hollywood industry for not giving a chance to someone like Robert before.

If anyone was considered top in this popularity boost ranking, Will Evans would be the mastermind behind this project.

His social media got even more followers than Robert. Many articles wrote him down as the life changer for struggling actors and said that Will tended to defy odds and bring new faces to Hollywood. 

Will was currently seeing the millions of new follower notifications on his laptop and couldn't help but chuckle. These past few weeks have been too hyped. As soon as Will had crossed the $500 million mark, he had received a new notification from the system.

[Congratulations on reaching the $500 million in the total box office in less than six months of screening.]

[Achievement Unlocked: Meant for success (2).]

[Rewards:

• 50 million fame points
• Consumable - [1917] Script ]

Ever since that day, Will wrote down the script for the movie [1917]. It was a great war epic movie that had even gotten an Oscars nomination. Will had decided to write down all the scripts he got from the system, no matter whether he directed the movie. All scripts were for blockbuster movies, and there was no harm in selling the script to someone capable who could direct it. 

He had even planned to be the movie producer, although it was still undecided to whom he would sell it.

Will brought up his status screen from the system to look at the total FP.

[Name - Will Evans

Age - 22

Skills - {Advance Directing} {Intermediate Acting} {Intermediate Instrumentalism}

Fame Points - 56,330,000

Inventory - {Empty}]

He had a whopping 56.3 million FP, which was worth $563 million. He had spent a million FP just on the [Birdman] movie script, which he sold to Simon Vercetti for $1 million, a $9 million loss on his side. But he didn't mind that since he did it to acquire Ewan, and he was successful in it. 

To begin with, all Will wanted was to become this world's biggest Hollywood star, someone who leaves an untouchable mark in this world's Hollywood. Earning can be considered a side goal. 

Will had made a shell company with the help of his lawyer. Although the lawyer kept asking what it was for, Will never revealed it. He made this company make fake accounts of the conversion of FP to Dollars so he could pay the income tax and doesn't end up ruining the economy of the world and get the FBI after him.

He had already withdrawn 2 million FP, which was $20 million in real life. The transaction was pretty simple, with him getting it directly in a new bank account that had unknown and private origins. Although he didn't know how it worked, the system had assured him that there wouldn't be any problems regarding the origins.

June had also gotten the lead role for a movie and had been busy preparing for it in the past few weeks. Although her lonely phase had ended and she was again living with Will. Will had rented an apartment in Beverly Hills due to the constant paparazzi pestering and planned to buy a plot and build his own house here in Beverly Hills as soon as he received the Box Office income. 

Will had been busy with Dream Vision and a few interviews. Although he mostly rejected all interviews and only took on a few of them.

Will was now being treated as a role model for the young generation. After defying all odds and getting out of being a one time wonder in Hollywood, Will had convinced many people that his time period in Hollywood wouldn't be short or dull. 

His impression of a director who got lucky with a homemade video had changed entirely and now taken a drastic turn of him being a genius young director. 

Even though his role in [17 Again] was pretty much antagonistic, he was still being hailed as a superb actor, mostly due to the popularity boost from[Sherlock Holmes].

Two more weeks went by with the media and Hollywood in a total frenzy as another groundbreaking news came out.

In front of Will was another notification.

[Congratulations on reaching the $1 billion in the total box office in less than six months of screening.]

[Achievement Unlocked: Entrance of the Supreme.]

[Rewards:

• Consumable - [Harry Potter] Book Series.]

Will's eyes went wide, and his heart started beating out of his chest. [Sherlock Holmes] had crossed a billion dollars in the box office. It almost seemed unreal.

But after calming down, it only felt natural since there was no Sherlock Holmes in this universe, and the people got to taste it for the first time. The more shocking part was the reward from the system. It came out as a total shock.

Will had previously checked for the script of Harry Potter movies, and every one of them was at least 10 million FP. To think he got the whole book series in one go and not the script. It was truly a fortunate event. 

Will summarized that the book's worth was just too much that the system didn't give any additional rewards such as FP. Will didn't even get anything from acting as it wasn't a big role and wasn't anything worth mentioning.

Just when Will was about to check the Harry Potter book series, his phone started ringing.

[Incoming Call]

[Spencer Miller]

It was from Spencer. He had probably gotten the news about the box office and wanted to inform Will as soon as possible. The box office counting would usually come after some time, but as it was a major mark in Hollywood, everyone had been waiting for [Sherlock Holmes] to reach $1 billion after seeing the $952 million collections from last week's box office.

Will picked up the call and didn't even get a chance to speak as Spencer's voice came from the other side.

– Haha! Boy. We did it! You're truly a terrific kid. [Sherlock Holmes] grossed $1.1 billion in the box office. 

"Yeah, I know."

– Huh? I just received the call from the authorities; it's not even public yet. How do you know?

"I mean, I knew it would cross $1 billion after seeing last week's box office."

– Oh.... so that's what you mean. Anyways, it's a really big achievement, young lad, show some enthusiasm.

"Yeah, I'm just too happy and sorry for the dull reaction."

After that, the news was made public, and the whole entertainment industry was stunned. 

A 22-year-old boy had made a billion-dollar movie. This news started spreading like wildfire and soon became a hot topic on the internet forums.

The rest of the day, Will was so busy picking up congratulation calls from Benjamin, Jeffrey and the others that he couldn't even peek at the [Harry Potter] book series.
