Put Me in a Movie

One

"In entertainment news, director Miguel O'Hara and actress Jessica Drew have officially divorced after ten years of marriage," the blonde news reporter said. You'd heard through the grapevine that Miguel and Jessica were calling it quits a while ago. People in Hollywood like to gossip. Apparently, she was caught having an affair with the pool boy.

You get up from the couch and make your way outside. It was a nice and sunny day in Hollywood. Living in the Hollywood Hills meant one of two things: you were rich or you were famous. You? Well, you were both and you deserved every single ounce of it. You worked your ass off to get where you were today. From working in a record store in order to meet ends meet to working on movie sets.

You've done it all. Commercials, television, and movies. Movies were your favorite though. There was something so magical about seeing months of filming getting cut into two hours or less. You had major respect for everyone that worked on the set from craft services to the producers. You just loved the movie magic and getting to work in the industry was a dream.

You've been out of work for about two months, deciding to take a short break before auditioning again. You'd make appearances here and there to keep yourself relevant in the meantime. Your publicist kept your Instagram up and running and sometimes you would pop in and post a selfie to seem relatable to your fans.

Your last project was a flop. Apparently not a lot of people like Western films all that much. It wouldn't tank your career though, too many people knew you were too good of an actress for that. Speaking of, your phone began to ring in the pocket of your pants. Your agent, Stacy Walsh, was calling you.

"Hi, Stella. What can I do for you?" you asked. You didn't know why she was calling you. You haven't auditioned for anything new.

"I've got a part for you. It's yours if you want it and it's pretty good." Stella sounded like she was practically jumping with excitement as she spoke.

"I'm listening."

"Miguel O'Hara wants you to be the lead in his next film. I know you said you wanted to take a break since the last film was a big flop, but I really think this could take you to the next level. Please tell me you'll take it."

Miguel O'Hara wanted you to be the lead in his next film! Miguel is one of the most influential filmmakers of all time! Every single film he's ever made has grossed over one billion dollars worldwide. Not only that, but every actor that's worked with him has come out not only as a better performer but also a better person. There is no way that you would let this opportunity pass.

"He wants me to be the lead? But I didn't even audition or anything. How the hell does he even know who I am?"

"Y/N," you could hear Stella sigh over the phone, "You are one of the greatest actresses I've ever worked with. You've been in plenty of great films and directors like watching movies for inspiration. Maybe he saw you in something and thought you were perfect for the role. Please tell me you'll take this role."

"Yes. Tell him I said yes," you said.

Stella celebrated over the phone and told you that you were awesome. The two of your bid farewell and hung up the phone. You took this role without asking enough questions. Were you going to get paid? What was the genre of the film? Who were your co-stars? There were so many unanswered questions that you had, but none of them were as important as this one. What was Miguel O'Hara actually like?
