《My Hollywood System》Chapter 6
Advertisement
June Roberts was an aspiring actress working in the Hollywood industry since she was 14.
She debuted as an extra character in a popular movie. Since then, she has done many such roles but none of them was anything special.
She made some contacts and was getting work regularly, but there weren't big roles. The infamous 'big break' never came to her.
Lately, she has even started being depressed over it.
She yearned to be part of the main cast, always dreaming to make it big someday. Her dream was the same as many other aspiring actresses but she really felt like she would make it big.
Just she needed that one big break.
She was already 22 years old this year, without any major success. As she grew, her desire and desperation to hit it big grew too.
June was confident in her looks. With black hair, fair skin and a sharp face with green eyes, she was called pretty by most people she will meet and she has been honing her acting skills since her teenage years.
All she needed was a chance.
Due to all this, two years ago, one of the agents in MCA even noticed her and offered her a contract.
But it was just her luck that it was then MCA started going downhill.
Usually, it was an actress’s agent's job to look after roles and get her the ones which she could do well.
There's a saying in the industry – 'An actor is as good as his agent' and it really applied in her case.
In the last two years, her agent was only able to give her mediocre roles in small movies. There was one moment when she was even asked to act nude but she rejected it and ran away.
Despite her constant bickering with her agent to get her better roles, nothing had come out and she was even thinking about getting out of MCA.

It was then she heard a rumour that one of the senior agents, Benjamin Charles, was planning to cast his actors in a movie with a big studio behind it.
Hearing it, an idea has struck her mind.
What if she was able to impress Benjamin? Maybe she would at least be able to get a supporting role? She didn't know if it was gonna work but at least, she could try.
After all, she would rather step out and seek someone who can potentially change her future rather than relying on her agent who has practically done nothing in two years.
She has been coming in front of Benjamin's office a lot recently in the hopes of getting an appointment with him.
But all her attempts till this day were for nought as his schedule was too packed to consider having a meeting with an uninvited guest.
Today was the same and yet again, his assistant has already rejected her.
As June was talking with Benjamin’s assistant, trying to persuade him into fixing a meeting with him, she saw the door of Benjamin's office opening up.
A young man who looked to have just entered his twenties walked out. The first thing that caught her attention was his dark black eyes. He had wavy black hair, a defined cheekbone and a concrete jaw.
He had enough facial features to be called handsome and stand out in a crowd. He was wearing a normal blue shirt and black jeans, which went well with his overall personality.
As she analysed him from head to toe, a habit she had gotten ever since her debut in Hollywood, his eyes fell on her.
He looked into her eyes, and when he noticed their gazes had met, he awkwardly nodded his head. For a moment, he kept looking at her. Maybe trying to see if he can recognise her.

It was common to walk across famous actors and actresses in this office. But she has never seen the guy before.
After realising that she wasn't someone he recognised, he started walking away. June unconsciously followed him and opened her mouth, trying to sound as polite as she could.
“Urm, Hello. I’m June. Do you have a minute?”
She held her hand out for a handshake. She had been looking for a chance to talk to Benjamin while this guy came out of his office as if it wasn’t a big deal.
Maybe he was an actor? At least someone who could help her out.
Although she couldn’t recall his face, he had a rather peculiar air about him.
She wanted to get acquainted with even slightly increasing the chance of talking to Benjamin. And Hollywood was all about contacts, even if she couldn’t meet Benjamin, she would at least build another contact that could potentially be fruitful for her future.
As she looked at him, Will thought in his head.
'Who is she?'
He stared at the girl in front of him and felt confused.
He was just happily going out of Benjamin's office when she suddenly stopped him and asked for a minute while offering a handshake.
In a moment, he understood what was happening as he looked at Benjamin’s assistant, who was sighing in the back.
'She is an aspiring actress!'
He thought in his mind.
This was pretty common in the industry, from what he knew. She probably was a struggling actress who wanted to talk to Benjamin, probably desperate to land a role.
Honestly, if he didn't have his system and didn't know Benjamin, he would be struggling too.
That's why, feeling a bit sympathetic, he shook her hands.
"Hello, my name is Will, and yeah, I do have a minute."
He said and smiled at her.
Later, while releasing her autobiography, June would describe this meeting like the one which changed her whole life.
If it hadn't happened, she would have always continued to be a small actress.
