MHS – Chapter 176

The studio was occupied by many workers including, costume designers, stylists, and many more helpers. Will and Jeffery were present in the studio with everyone else trying to get things done.

People were standing here and there, either staring at Andrew, or a notepad. Some were busy helping the people who were actually doing something.

In front of Will and Jeffery, Andrew was wearing a prototype spiderman suit while the designers would come and go taking more measurements and adjusting it.

Will had instructed the costume designers to work on prototypes a while ago as they will need a lot of them going forward. Now that they have Andrew mostly finalized, they are taking his sizes.

“If this is the kid you chose for Spiderman, I think he's kinda taller and a bit out of shape,” Jeffery said to Will.

“After the costume test, and everything else, his training will start,” Will said looking at Andrew who stood straight while someone was taking measurements of his arm.

“And, being tall won’t be a problem. Spiderman can’t look like a dwarf anyway, and regarding the comment of him being out of shape, Spiderman has an athletic body, it's just we need to take care of the fact he doesn’t look too cool to be Peter Parker,”

“Too cool?”

“Yeah, too cool during the scenes of Peter Parker,” Will said.

When the original Andrew Garfield acted as Peter Parker, he looked too cool to be Peter, but was an amazing spider man. Pun intended. Will, who was aware of this mishap, wanted to avoid it.

Actually, it was because of the director who said that in 2012, nerds are the new cool kids.

“Do you have the script?” Jeffery questioned.

“Yeah I completed it, but I need to go through some modifications at some parts, won’t take long,” Will said, thinking of the script.

“It’s all good then. By the way, [Friends] promotion will start from today." Jeffery said, thinking of today's date.

RBO was very keen on promotions and was very excited about it as their estimates were that it would be one of the highest-rated series in the history of the channel.

“Yes, I remember. I’m pretty confident that it will do good, just wait and see,” Will said with a smirk.

They kept talking while looking at the test that was going on. The designers would call Will from time to time to check things. He had to decide how tight the spiderman dress would be, and everything else.

“How would I go do business with nature, if I’m in this?” Andrew questioned once.

“That will have to wait,”

Andrew’s eyes widened in horror.

“Haha… I’m joking. I will give you enough break time to change and do your ‘business’, fear not.” Will said and smiled.

Everyone laughed seeing Andrew’s reaction. It was a common question that even arose for the designers, but they refused to question knowing they can always make adjustments in the clothes if some problem came up.

A 25-year-old guy was sitting in front of the TV clicking on channels thinking why there are no good shows these days. He was frustrated with how bad TV shows were and some of them had basically no quality to attract anyone.

It was like the entire Hollywood was going through a creative block.

He was a person who was busy with the job of working in the field of I.T. He rarely gets time and during that, all he wants is to enjoy the small amount of time he got by himself. Being a 25-year-old and wanting to spend time trying to binge on a show was not easy.

‘I might have to direct a show myself. Maybe I can be the next Will Evans.’ he said while clicking the numbers of every channel.

All the channels had different types of shows, advertisements and movies going on. The shows were something he would watch after he ate some bad food, so it can help him to throw up quickly.

That was how much he despised the current ongoing shows.

Suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of a promo. He was constantly clicking numbers that he missed the channel. ‘What?! No no no!’

He went behind the channels and kept watching the promo. There were people in their early twenties walking here and there in a cafe, and some were seated on the front couch.

They seemed like friends and were talking to each other, and laughing. The whole scenario played on the screen looked like something that would come out as funny and entertaining. In all honesty, that was something he wanted to watch during his free time.

Something relaxing.

He kept looking at the things happening, and suddenly, Will Evans came into the cafe. He looked around before coming to the group and friends and asking if they wanted to be stars.

The promo ended there. It was just 30 seconds, but it attracted him unlike anything ever.

In the background, the theme song was playing. The tune stuck in his head for a while.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

The title showed and the small advertisement came to an end.

Taking out his phone quickly, he searched for the song that was in his mind.

'I’ll Be There For You… Your Job Is A Joke Song.'

He typed it quickly in the search box.

‘Oh damn!’ The song was already trending in Sparrow. There were so many threads of people guessing how the show would go. Some were excited and many were commenting how they couldn’t wait till the show began.

There were already so many articles and newsletters passing about how this show would turn out. Many people were commenting about an article made by one of the journalists who were a part of the live audience during the filming of the show.

He clicked on the link that appeared to be an article about the series.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S PROMO OUT MAKING PEOPLE LOVE THE SHOW BEFORE IT EVEN STARTED!

Now that it is confirmed that the show will start to air in around a month, let me give you some details about what I got to watch from afar.

[Friends] is not your average TV show! It is not something that you have ever watched or binged through on your normal Saturday night. This was said to be a sitcom. What is a sitcom? A situational comedy made by the genius director and screenwriter Will Evans.

Considering every other series that is being aired on TV these days, this is going to be very different.

RBO brings us this new experiment with the partnership of Will Evans. The script is by Will Evans, the director who flipped Hollywood upside-down recently. The theme song which got stuck in our heads even with a 30 seconds promo was composed by Will Evans. The promo itself went viral even though it was released just a day ago.

Will Evans is the young director who made some movies that became new favourites of people whenever they got released. [The Blair Witch Project], [Sherlock Holmes], and [Liberty City]. The best part of it all is, how all of them became popular and all have big openings, barring something like his first movie.

Regardless, the new show [Friends] will be something everyone would love, just for how hilarious some scenes were. I can guarantee it as I was on the set.

From what I saw while being at the bench in the live audience is that [Friends] began with a casting miracle—the uncanny chemistry of six up-and-coming actors)—combined with a legendary director, and writer who nailed the young, single, urban life as never before on TV.

The pictures posted by RBO give us nothing away, but we wait for a good laugh when the show starts airing on the television.

As everyone knows who Will Evans is, the sole credit if the show hits its peak should go to him. The resources say that Will directed the first few episodes by himself, and I myself saw how much struggle they went through to get the first few scenes right.

Trust me on it, the jokes are hilarious. It basically would talk about the problems young adults starting out in New York, L.A., Dallas, Philly, San Francisco, St. Louis, or Portland faced.

It was very expensive to live in those places, so many people had roommates.

The best part of it all is the journey they would have as friends. This show is definitely going to be something that would leave a huge spot in everyone’s heart.

If you watch it once, you will be tempted to watch it again. If you laugh once, you would seek funny moments every now and then through the episodes. It most likely is the time to anticipate a show that would change the history of television series in our country, maybe worldwide.

Finally, I’m going to make a bet about you wanting to start to watch the show. As good as the promotional video was, the show is 100 times better, funnier, and relatable. This would explain the daily life of a struggling American.

But the core message is that I can't force you to watch the show, and even if I can, I surely won't be able to force you to enjoy it. But are you sure you're not tempted to at least give it a try? All in all, this won’t be the last article about the show, I’m certain. Meet again once the show is airing?

The people had gone crazy about the article. The insanity started just after a few seconds of the promotion release. Comments were flooding about how excited they were, and people who participated in the live audience while filming just kept adding fuel to the newest trend.

@Mama_Mia01

This is like the first time a promo vid hit it high even before the show started. The music itself was pretty addictive altho we just were able to hear a slight part. I hope they change the release date a bit. I hope it’s good as these people say.

@Caniignoreyou.

OMG, the vid is lit guys, I tell you. I was on the set the other day and it was fun like hahaha... Even remembering it makes me laugh out loud. Waiting for it, here see this pic I took! A selfie of her on the set, cameras, and light equipment are visible.

@no_way_go_home

Good one. Let’s see how this is. High hopes for RBO as always.

Reading the comments gave a smile to the guy who was hoping for a good show.

‘Finally something worth all my tiring weekends.’

He said to himself and closed the television.
