As soon as filming was over, Director Hartman ran towards the studio at the speed of light.
In order to edit the videos shot with Awaken’s equipment, a dedicated program was needed, but because there was currently no time to learn how to use the program due to schedule, people from Awaken had been dispatched to edit the cookie videos.
He was next to the dispatched personnel, supervising how to edit the video, and seemed to want to learn new skills as quickly as possible by looking over their shoulders.
Once I finished testing the equipment and filming the cookie video, there was nothing left for me to do in Hollywood.
No, to be precise, there shouldn’t have been any left.
If it weren’t for that guy.
‘Jay Lennox.’
If left alone, this is a character who is almost certain to cause problems for Steelheart and Ignis, whom I will be playing in the future.
Listening to the story, it was unclear whether he would work with Nexus Studio again next time, but usually a person with such a grudge does not disappear quietly.
If the person who participated as a screenwriter decided to make a fuss, it was obvious that various troubles would occur both inside and outside the movie.
In that case, it would be better to sort it out before a problem arises.
‘Personally, I don’t like it.’
-Suddenly… The guy who dared to make the master’s character gay?!
‘that’s right. The guy who came in and started talking nonsense. I fired a deadly weapon and chased it away.’
Maria seemed to not like him either, and made a sound like she was grinding her teeth.
The conversation with her was like a kind of telepathy through nanobots, so there was no reason to make such noises, but I think he wanted to express that he, too, was angry.
It was a cute reaction.
Well, Maria also became my woman by mingling with me in Nova Empire. He might have hated the idea of trying to turn his man into a homosexual.
He came up to an actor he saw for the first time and without even saying hello, he told him bluntly, ‘You should become gay.’ This is a statement that cannot be made without the triple combination of excessive obsession with the PC, arrogance toward one’s own authority, and contempt for oneself.
‘Maria, please investigate this guy.’
-Hehe… ! I’ve been researching that since the owner said he would sort it out!
‘really? good job.’
She always got permission from me to carry out activities that could break the law, such as background checks.
But as soon as he heard my thoughts, he started researching.
It’s me too, but since he was captured by Maria, who demonstrates the ability closest to omniscience in modern society, I guess his life ends here. It was a blessing to be self-employed.
Maria’s enthusiastic voice rang in my head.
-Jay Lennox. 46 years old. Screenwriter from LA. Participated in the production of numerous films that exceeded the break-even point. He entered Hollywood based on that experience. Thanks to this, my ability to achieve stable results was recognized in the industry, but I had been influenced by PC philosophy for several years and had been gradually dipping my hands into the works I participated in.
‘My career is healthier than I thought. Except for the PC.’
-Previously, you added PC elements just subtly enough to avoid being criticized by the audience, but after entering Hollywood, you began to actively inject your own ideas into your work, as if you were convinced of the direction of your work. Thanks to this, it has become quite infamous among people who know it. They say there are many cases where excessive demands are placed on actors and staff are treated unfairly. According to our research, there is also a connection with Sweet Films, a PC consulting company in the entertainment industry. From my analysis, it seems like he is trying to take a position in that company after retirement.
‘PC consulting company? There is such a thing? Why is the name sweet again? Is the world really about to fall apart?’
-We do not represent ourselves as a PC consulting company externally. However, the company’s CEO is a typical hard-core PC fanatic, and the works that reflect their consulting have all been controversial for excessive blackwashing and homosexual expressions, so it’s no different from turning a blind eye.
‘Management is difficult after all. A company like that can be maintained because there is demand, right?
I don’t know how Nexus Studios got this guy involved in the production of Steelheart. From the story, it seems that neither Carl Rogers, the honorary chairman, nor Alex Stewart, the current chairman, likes him… It may be that another executive who cares about PC customers intervened.
In any case, what is important is not Nexus Studio’s decision-making process.
Is there a point in Jay Lennox’s past that I can delve into?
At that moment, Maria started talking about that part.
-But unlike your support of PCism, your private life is quite messy. Not only did he habitually assault his ex-lover, but he also appears to be frequently seen at clubs and parties where drug dealing takes place openly.
‘But you haven’t been fired so far?’
-Because I was very cautious, I took care to prevent rumors from spreading. Unless you hacked his smartphone like I did and analyzed his every move, you have no choice but to know.
The reason why Nexus Studio could not terminate the contract with him despite the conflict with writer Carl Rogers and director Edward Hartman was because the PC card he was holding had a moral upper hand externally.
Although this is Steelheart’s first time working with a large studio, since he has an accumulated career as a screenwriter, dismissing him carelessly would inevitably damage Nexus Studio’s reputation.
But you’re actually doing this kind of shit behind my back. In the end, despite political correctness and all, the most important thing was one’s own pleasure and benefit.
-and… The company called Sweet Films that I have a connection with is a little suspicious. Maybe it’s a secret society business. What should I do?
‘hmm… ‘
If we reveal this fact right now, we will definitely be able to get rid of him before the movie is released. Incurring immediate retribution was certainly a refreshing option.
But that could cause damage to Steelheart. Right now, right before the release, if the production team’s gossip is published in the media, the image of the hero movie may suffer.
‘But I don’t like the way it was handled after Steel Heart was released. It won’t harm the movie, but I’m just frustrated.’
There are a little less than two months left until the release, but considering the time it takes to leave the theater, you will have to wait another month or two.
‘… … .’
-Master?
‘Why don’t we just clean it up now? Instead, we gave advance notice to Nexus Studio.’
I didn’t want to wait several months for an unattractive child.
There was a belief that a large production company as large as Nexus Studio would be able to handle this level of risk with minimal damage.
It was a company that had reigned as a dinosaur in the Hollywood film industry for decades, so it was foolish for me to pay any attention to it.
And more than anything, it seemed that if this matter was handled well, it would be able to break the momentum not only of Jay Lennox but also of the PCists who were encroaching on Hollywood.
It’s not that I have a huge grudge against that group, but they were a group that I couldn’t like at all when I saw the way they were doing things.
‘It’s a secret society…’ Would it be okay to handle it in the name of Cyphers?’

A few days later.
The American media, which received the source of a major scandal from an anonymous informant, poured out reports about Jay Lennox.

Jay Lennox and the film he participated in, Stillheart, are not directly mentioned by name.
However, among those who know the situation, the identity of the screenwriter mentioned in the article is already known.
It seemed only a matter of time before the flames spread to Steelheart.
Before the spark started flying, Nexus Studio, which had received the news from Awaken in advance, announced its position through the reporters and media outlets it had met.
[Screenwriter J’s identity is Jay Lennox]
[Alex Stewart, Chairman of Nexus Studios, “All parts in which the screenwriter participated have been deleted. The story of the movie will not change at all.”]

[Steel Heart has made a bold decision, will there be any problems with its release?]
Nexus Studio’s response did not stop at simply cutting off the tail. They revealed the cards they had been saving to divert people’s attention.
