“We have not gotten a chance to et yet. You are Aiden Silvereye, right?”
“Yeah, nice to et you.”
“I liked your work in [30 days of Happiness]. You are a great musician and actor.”
“Thanks.”
“Co to if you want to discuss our scenes together. If I’m not busy, we could go through them together.”
That was a short conversation he had with Seth when he ca to the set. From his tone, it was clear that he thought of himself as Aiden’s senior.
It was true, too, as he had more work experience than him.
But he didn’t act like soone who had snatched away Aiden’s role for himself nor had any conversation about it. It was like it didn’t exist.
That made Aiden feel like Seth didn’t even think that he had done sothing wrong by snatching his role. It was already sothing natural for him.
“He seems like he’s hiding sothing.”
“What?”
When Aiden was in his thoughts, Dustin found him and sat next to him. He was wearing a sweater and jeans and looked like he was enjoying himself on the set.
His character was soone who was not in the initial parts of the movie, but as he had a lot of scenes on the campus, they were going to shoot them first and just edit them later.
“Seth, he’s nice and polite, but he always acts like he’s hiding sothing. Even now, he’s not talking to anyone on the set other than Jesse.”
“Maybe he’s introverted.” Aiden glanced at where Seth was. He was sitting with his manager, and Jesse was explaining sothing to him.
Dustin shook his head hearing that.
“No, I was at a party once where Seth was laughing and chatting loudly with a bunch of Zero International studio executives and so top actors. He looked like he was trying to please them.”.
Hearing that, Aiden couldn’t help but wonder one thing.
“Why were you focusing on him so much?” Dustin looked at him like he was asked sothing too obvious and replied with a sigh.
“He was sitting with top actors and studio executives. A lot of people were focusing on them to get sothing out of it. A female actress even left with a few executives.”
Dustin explained, and Aiden nodded, knowing that this was very common at parties.
“Anyway, so what you are saying is that Seth isn’t talking to anyone on the set because….”
“He thinks we are below him. In better words, there’s no point having connections with us, so he’s not really bothering with us.”
“Maybe.”
Aiden only muttered that to Dustin’s words. Even if it was like that, he didn’t mind that kind of attitude from Seth. He had experienced that before, and it wasn’t a big deal for him.
Until he started causing trouble for him.
***
“It’s your first scene, so just relax. Just try to get in your character, and we could do a few takes if you can’t get it right.”
Jesse said, looking at Aiden, who nodded his head.
His first scene was an introductory scene in which Mark Knight and Andrew Kingston would et in a bar where a ga would be broadcasted on the television screen. Being a fan of football, Mark would keep his eye on the ga, and it was then that Andrew would start a conversation with him.
It was a very important scene in which Mark’s arrogant nature would take a hit.
“Jesse, can I change Andrew’s character a bit?” Aiden suddenly asked, making Jesse put on a confused face.
“Like how?”
“I was just going through his scenes and analysing him, and I feel like he should be a bit more expressive.”
“Yeah, but his character is of a good-hearted, timid person.”
“And a genius.”
Aiden added. In the script, Mark was written as a usual genius with a lot of shortcomings and quirks. One of them was his misogynistic nature about won in the tech departnt.
It was actually taken from the fact that won actually face a lot of misogyny in the IT sector.
But Andrew was completely the opposite. He was a kind-hearted person who looked a bit creepy due to how he had no confidence.
At least according to the script, but Aiden wanted to change it.
“What will you change about him? We can’t make him a confident genius because that will greatly change the script.”
Jesse finally asked, and Aiden quickly replied without wasting any ti.
“Yeah, I know that well. Just that I feel like he should at least be confident about things that he’s good at. He’s not an idiot for not knowing what he’s good at, but even in those things, he seems to have no confidence. Moreover, I feel like he should be more vocal about the wrong things that Make does on the way to a billion dollars.”
“Like the only morally good voice in the room?”
“Kind of but in a more subtle way.”
Jesse and Aiden discussed it more, so much so that the caraman needed to ask if they were taking a late shot, but in the end, the director was too keen on keeping his characters the sa way.
He was the type who wanted his actors to follow the script to a T.
As Aiden wasn’t able to persuade him, he had no choice but to just ask for one chance.
“Just give one chance. If I couldn’t do it right in a take, then I would follow the script.”
“Okay.” Jesse sighed, giving him a chance to get on with the shooting finally. “Just rember that If I didn’t like it, you need to go back to your portrayal that you showed in the audition.”
***
Aiden was standing in a bar that the production team had booked for the shooting, and around him, a lot of extras were present. There were caras present everywhere to get a three-dinsional view, and Jesse was keeping a close eye on him.
Seth was also going to be in the scene, and he was sitting at one of the tables and taking deep breaths to prepare himself.
At a distance away, standing beside the assistant director, Dustin was giving a thumbs up to Aiden.
‘I need to do my best.’
He thought in his mind, and at that mont, Jesse’s voice ca out, followed by the clapping of the slate.
“Ready. Set. Cara. Action!”
Clap!
Hearing that, Aiden closed his eyes, and the imrsion started.

[Disconnected|Jan 28-2017|Act 1|Scene 3|Take 1]
In the noisy bar, Andrew was moving around, hearing groups of friends talking among themselves about various topics that started with studies and ended with girls. Naturally, there were mostly college students here as this bar was the place where they would frequent a lot.
Andrew was unable to find a seat because of how crowded the bar was.
It was mostly because everyone was gathered to watch the football ga going on the TV. From ti to ti, a goal or a good pass would be made, and all the people in the bar would cheer.
At that mont, a voice called him out.
“There’s a seat here if you want.”
Turning around, he saw a guy with spectacles sitting there. Andrew quickly walked towards him.
“Thanks.” He sat down and introduced himself. “Andrew Kingston.”
“Mark Knight. Are you from Harvard?”
“No, I didn’t make the cut last year.”
That sentence was enough to make Mark’s interest die down in Andrew. In his mind, he quickly put him as soone who was in a league lower than his.
Soone who would never be able to et with people he was going to hang out with in the future.
Andrew also noticed the change in his atmosphere but didn’t say anything. Mark focused his eye on the ga, and Andrew followed suit.
On the screen, Barcelona was one goal behind Real Madrid, who had mostly dominated the ga. Only five minutes were left, and fans could just hope for a miracle.
“Fuck, we are going to lose.”
Mark muttered, angry at the fact. He was feeling awful as he was really hoping Barcelona would win this.
At that mont, Andrew comnted.
“No, they are going to get a goal.”
His words managed to attract the attention of Mark, who looked at him confused.
“They are clearly winning it. Don’t you see their defence? No one is going to get past it.”
“Yeah, it’s tough, but Barcelona just made a substitute. They went for a tiki-taka formation with their main striker on the right wing. They will make a goal. Trust .”
Andrew said with confidence visible on his face. He looked like soone who couldn’t be wrong.
Mark didn’t think too much about his words and just focused on the screen. At that mont, sothing extraordinary happened.
Barcelona breached the defence of Real Madrid with their tiki-taka formation and made a goal. The comntators on the TV were going crazy with their Spanish comntary, and everyone was cheering in the bar.
It was like it got 4-5 tis noisier in just a second.
“How, how do you know?”
Mark turned to look at Andrew, shocked he smiled.
“Instincts and I once saw that tactic live.”
“But how can you tell it was the sa?”
“I observe well.”
Andrew simply said with a smirk and stood up from the bar and walked outside. Mark kept looking at his face, wondering what had just happened.
In the end, he decided to follow him.
“Cut!”
At that mont, the sound of Jesse ca out as the scene ended.
