New Life : A Second Chance Chapter 323

In walked Keanu, wearing a pinstriped suit and smiling warmly. He went to the first chair, gave Ellen a hug before sitting down.
"Welcome back, Keanu," Ellen began.
"Thank you for having me back," Keanu replied with a smile.
"So, Keanu," Ellen said with a cheeky grin, "I hear you've done yet another John Wick movie. Is it never going to end?"
"Why yes, Ellen," Keanu said with a smile, nodding his head, "It will end when they stop filming it, I suppose."
The audience laughed.
Ellen held back a grin, as she looked at Keanu who gave her an equally cheeky grin, "That was unexpected. You actually gave a comeback line."
"Ah, blame that on my co-star," Keanu said, "His youthful energy just rubs off on you."
"Ah yes, your new co-star," Ellen said, "What's that all about? From the teaser trailer that we've seen, it certainly caused a huge sensation."
"You know I can't tell you that, Ellen," Keanu said with a smile, "The movie isn't out yet. Let it be a surprise."
"Well, really, if you can't tell me, maybe he will," Ellen said, "Please welcome, Kyle Smith!"
Kyle walked in then, and the audience screamed again. He flashed his Million-Dollar Watt Smile, gave a slight wave and walked over to where Keanu and Ellen were. He shook hands with Keanu again, as well as Ellen.
He didn't know her well enough to give a hug and he figured a handshake was fine.
"So, Kyle Smith," Ellen began.
"Yes, Ellen DeGeneres," Kyle replied.
Ellen gave her amused smile and faced Keanu, "I understand now."
"I know, right?" Keanu said, flinging an arm across Kyle's shoulder, "Lame comebacks are a thing now."

Ellen laughed, then pointed to the screen behind her, saying, "Your producer just gave us this little snippet, which is being shown for the very first time. The first official trailer for John Wick 4."
"Oh, it's ready already?" Kyle said with surprise, "That was faster than expected."
"Yes, now shush," Ellen said while the trailer came on.
The trailer came on, and it more or less had the same type of 'background explanation' but this time, showed even more action scenes. There was even a snippet from the final showdown, with Kyle and Keanu fighting side-by-side.
"That's really so amazing," Ellen said after the trailer ended, "I am really awed how each movie can come up with fighting scenes that would top the previous movie. The last one had motorcycles and even horses. This one, however, seems to be more of the basics?"
"In a way," Keanu said, "There were a lot of one-on-one fights as compared to before. John Wick 3 was about him being chased whereas in this one, he's the one doing the chasing."
They talked a bit more about the movie, about how they did their own stunts and a little bit of the plot and characters that they played. Not revealing too much, but enough to whet their appetite. Then, Ellen turned to Kyle, a rather sly smile on her face.
Kyle had a bad feeling about this.
"You say that you did almost all of the stunts and did not use a body double, correct?" Ellen began.
"Ye-es," Kyle replied, wondering where this was heading.
"So confess now. This shot. It was a body double, right?" Ellen said, and a picture of Kyle doing the training routine came on.
It was a frontal body shot, which showed his perfect abs to the world, as he lifted some dumbells in both hands.

As his face was tilted down and to the side (watching the arm that was lifting the weights), one couldn't see the face. His arm muscle could also be seen due to the weights and the whole picture was just breathtaking.
Kyle covered his face and laughed softly, before he brought his hands down, "No, that's not a body double."
Ellen's eyes went wide and she said, "No, that can't be. You're what? 14?"
"Yes, but I'm turning 15 next week," Kyle replied.
"Still, you're 14 while doing the film. You're a student, aren't you? What sort of student has that sort of physique? Stop lying now?" Ellen said, still smiling while her eyes were twinkling.
"No, no," Kyle responded, "I'm not. I also do bouldering, so being fit is just part of it."
"Ah yes," Ellen said, nodding, "You were the youngest ever to win that championship. Congratulations."
The scene changed to a picture of Kyle with the rest of the team, after receiving their medals and trophy.
"Thank you," Kyle replied politely, glad that the other picture was gone.
He groaned when it came back immediately.
"Still, that is that. This," Ellen said, "still doesn't look like it could be you."
Keanu nodded, "Trust me, Ellen. That's all him."
"Well, it's not that I don't want to trust you, Keanu," Ellen said, patting Keanu's hand, "But let's face it. It is pretty unbelievable."
She gave a rather evil smile towards Kyle, "Why don't you show us, and the audience, solid proof?"
"Oh, come on Ellen!" Kyle said, "You're really doing this to me? On nationwide television?"
Ellen gave him a look, used her thumb to point to the picture behind and said, "That scene is in the movie and it's going to be shown worldwide. You expect me to believe that you're shy now? Or is it because it isn't you?"
Ellen faced the audience, "What do you say?"
The audience played along (there were cue cards telling them to do so, actually) and Keanu just laughed at Kyle's discomfort. Keanu patted Kyle's shoulder while Kyle groaned loudly.
"She has a point, you know," Keanu said, throwing Kyle under the bus.
"Et tu, Keanu?" Kyle lamented.
With the audience egging him on, Keanu pushing at him and Ellen giving him that smug look, Kyle stood up and pulled up his sweater halfway up. The camera zoomed in, and his six-pack was captured perfectly and shown at the big screen behind.
The audience screamed.
This time, they did not need any cue cards.

Long Island
Long Island was not the first virtual reality game or to say a VRMMORPG. Not the one which changed the world and became a legend. No, it was made when there were lots (quite a few) of virtual reality games already on the market. Each game had its own unique AI feature, its own unique adventure, promising everyone a chance to become King, if not a God. In such a time Long Island was made. Just a little different, just a little unique. A normal guy was starting his own adventure, in life and in game.Note - Adding a cover made by someone I connected through wattpad: @DameCarnelian. Just a warning, it is not an accurate representation. The ship is not Raka's ship so avoid any confusion in that regard.
