“Just tell me,” Kyle waves his arms, “I’ll decide that…”
“Fine,” Levi shrugs, “whatever… so, when I was eighteen I made a bet with a friend 'cause we were childish and that’s something we did quite often… Anyway, he said that he could give up smoking much longer than I could give up alcohol, and the thing is that we were both gonna start shooting different movies at the time… so yeah, we said, we’d both do it starting the first day of shooting, and let’s see what happens-Long story short, I won the bet, of course,” Kyle smiles…” and that movie was the first one I made to reach the million globally…”
“Really?” Levi raises his eyebrows.
“Yeah, god knows it’s not my best work but I owe a lot to that film. I was in the spotlight after that and that’s when my career really took off… so, yeah, call me superstitious if you want but since then… like, I only drink alcohol when I’m done with whatever project I’m working on.” Levi snorts. “I told you it was boring.”
“No, I don’t think it’s boring. We all have our little… superstitious side… somewhere. And after all, it’s also healthier, right?”
“It is healthier and helps with my daily training,” Levi nods. “Can I ask… do you have any superstition?”
Kyle snorts. ”Umm… I guess so… Not sure if that’s what I’d call it but I suppose it kind of is…”
Levi raises his eyebrows, “yes?”
“Okay, so when I write a song I need to use my own guitar and guitar pick. If I don’t have them with me, I just don’t bother because it never works.”
“Well, it makes sense if you are used to them.”
“Yeah, I know.” Lyle nods.
At that moment Levi gets a text and the truth is that he has to check it because if he doesn’t and it’s his agent with something important, he’ll get in trouble.
Sorry for the late notice. We’ve rewritten two of your scenes for tomorrow. I’m attaching the script. It was the director’s idea and you had already left when she told us. Please, contact her if you have any doubt.
Levi sighs. “Unbelievable,” he says reading the PDF with the new dialogue.
“Anything wrong?” Kyle asks, confused.
“Yeah, I guess something is wrong when you feel like murdering the director you’re working with,” Levi shakes his head.
“What happened?” Kyle frowns.
“Well, if they didn’t text you, you’re fine. But I just got two new scripts for tomorrow and I’m gonna have to go and study them.”
“Oh shit,” Kyle bites his lip.
“Yeah… Well, coming from her I shouldn’t be surprised.” Most probably this won’t be the last time it happens. The woman is quite a perfectionist and that’s also why she’s so good at what she does. “They were already good but I’m sure these versions were written for a reason and they must be better, you know?” And if the writers have worked extra time to improve them, he shouldn’t complain about the time he’ll spend memorizing it tonight.”
