My Hollywood System - Chapter 219:
It was past midnight in the United States when someone made a post that would soon take the internet by the storm.
The post was made by an account that didn’t have a lot of followers and wasn’t famous but due to the content of his post, it blew up.
[IwatchFullMovie: HOLY SHIT! YOU GUYS NEED TO SEE THIS!!! I AM SO HAPPY I DID NOT LEAVE!! [end_credits_spiderman.mp4].]
Below his post, there were a lot of comments. As the post had tags like #Spiderman and #Big Reveal, many people were curious and the algorithm helped it reach more people.
[TheButtWhisperer: what? Is this some kind of editing? I didn’t see this scene in the movie.]
[IwatchFullMovie: @TheButtWhisperer it’s the freakin end credits! It’s just my habit to wait till the very end, and I am so stoked that I did! This is insane!]
[Crazy_cat_lady: What does this mean? I don’t even get half of the things that happened in this video.]
[LactoseTheIntolerant: Holy shit! Is this real?! If this is real footage, Dream Vision has big plans for Spiderman!]
[LOWERCASE GUY: i know right, but i don’t know if it’s going to do well. there are not many who read marvel comics after all.]
[IwatchFullMovie: Lol @LOWERCASE GUY which grass you touched? Marvel Comics have gotten big ever since their acquisition!]
[Theotherharrypotter: I don’t understand the context either, but I am feeling hyped.]
[JuliusSeizure: Actually I do understand, the one they mentioned is one of the superheroes of marvel, while the other is a spider man comic villain.]
[In_jail_out_soon: Yo @IwatchFullMovie spoiler tag much? You spoiled it for me man, I was going to finally watch the movie this weekend.]
[IwatchFullMovie: oh, come on, @In_jail_out_soon, I am sure you won’t sit any longer than you come. Ten Seconds.]
[In_jail_out_soon: Did your mom tell you about that?]
IwatchFullMovie: @In_jail_out_soon No, it was your dad.]
[Toiletpaperman: Yo, yo, keep your family out of this. Can someone explain the video to me? I need some explanation. Dream Vision didn’t say a word about this in any of the interviews!]
[YouIntradouchingMyshelf: Yes, that’s the weird part. I have a feeling this is fake.]
[IwatchFullMovie: It’s up to you if you want to believe it or not. I am sure once this goes viral, Dream Vision will definitely say something about this. Maybe they are waiting for someone like me to find it.]
[@In_jail_out_soon: @IwatchFullMovie Yeah yeah.]
…
The emergence of the video created a spark, and soon, the whole social media platform Sparrow was flooded with posts and stories of it, and many began to claim that it was real, although there was still a good portion of people who were sceptical.
While everyone was waiting for Dream Vision’s official response, no such thing was posted on their account. However, that didn’t stop the media outlets and MeTube channels from giving out their theories.
And when one creator does it, the others jump on the bandwagon.
The plot theorists and reaction MeTubers soon began to upload videos on their channels about the possible answers, explanations and reactions to the end credits.
This thing only sparked more curiosity and anticipation among the viewers because now, everyone knew one thing was certain: Dream Vision was planning something big.
The hype even led some of the movie fans to revisit the theatre for a second watch and enjoy the movie.
One of them was Sam and his group of three friends. The four guys had been friends since high school and bonded over their love for comics.
They considered themselves the OG readers of the marvel comics and still continued to read it when the plot was going down the drain.
And when they came to know that there was a big reveal that they missed in the movie, they had to go and watch the movie again, even if it meant they would have less pocket money with them for the rest of the weekend.
And right now, the anticipated moment was finally here. The end credits had begun to roll.
To their surprise, not many people in the theatre had left. It was clear that they were here for the end credits as well, and this only made them feel excited.
Among the group, only Sam had seen the video, and although he regretted watching it, he forced the other three not to open any social media app lest they get spoiled. Next, he made the plan, booked the tickets and now here they were.
“How long do we have to wait?” Miles, the friend, seated to his left, asked.
Sam shrugged, “I don’t know, but we have already waited for three days. A few more minutes won’t hurt.”
Just then, another friend of theirs, Aaron, quipped, “I hope it’s worth it.”
“It will be,” Same smiled, “Just don’t miss the dialogue. It’s gonna blow your mind.”
“It’d better be something good,” Miles said, “I put most of my pocket money in this. Aren’t the movie tickets supposed to get cheaper after some time? This theatre is a money sucker!”
“I told you not come here-”
“Shhh!!” Sam interrupted the argument, “It’s here.”
As everyone’s eyes in the theatre focused on the screen, the Dream Vision logo slowly scrolled up and the screen went black.
After a one-second silence, steps echoed, and two pairs of walking legs appeared, and as the camera angle zoomed out, it turned out they were two young men.
“Harry, are you sure you can get me an invite?” The young man on the right asked. The audience instantly recognised even though the two of them were facing opposite directions and were walking through the busy street.
“Yeah, I can,” Harry replied. His voice didn’t sound quite right.
Peter nodded, “How have you been? Have you-”
“Let’s talk about it later,” Harry interrupted, “We’re almost there.”
The two of them suddenly walked up and as their camera angle rose, it was revealed to be the Oscorp Headquarters.
“Let’s go in.” Harry said, “Dr Octavius will be here today. I heard he’s trying to harness the power of the sun.”
Peter nodded, “I am a huge fan of his, but that expo-”
“Peter,” Harry shook his head, “That’s just a science fair. Dr Octavious is going to release something big, and we might witness history on that day!”
Peter sighed, “Alright let’s go. We will go to the Stark Expo next year.”
…
“Did he really say Stark Expo?” Miles finally broke the silence in the group as they walked out of the theatre.
“Yes,” Sam nodded, “Stark Expo. That’s Iron Man.”
“Are we going to get Iron Man? Holy Shit!” Miles rubbed his hands together, “I really want to see how they will make that armour and which armour they will use.”
“I am more curious about who will be the actor,” Aaron said his thoughts, “Will they bring a new actor or a veteran?”
“Will Evans’ casting choice has been really good, I am sure whoever gets the role will do it justice,” Sam said.
“Haha, wouldn’t it be funny if Will Evans plays the role of Iron Man?” Miles smirked, “He’s not too young, right.”
“That sounds interesting, but I would rather have him not play a playboy role. He sounds better as a director than an actor.”
Miles shrugged, “Maybe you’re right. Oh, what do you think of Doctor Octo?”
The fourth friend, Blake, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, “He will be the villain in the sequel. It’s quite clear. If Will Evans is bringing him in, he will surely play the antagonistic role.”
Sam nodded, “Yes, I am excited for the next movie.”
…
Because of the end credit revelations, the popularity wave of [Spiderman] once again got fueled just when it had begun to die down.
After a month of running, the movie had bombed at the box office with a collection of $1.32 Billion dollars worldwide, becoming the most successful superhero movie of all time.
These numbers left all its opponents in the dust, and Dream Vision and Will Evans had once again proved themselves, further solidifying their position in Hollywood.
Right now, the man in question, Will Evans, was in the back of the company’s limo and along with him were three others.
Beside him was June, who had come back two days ago from her University and in front of them were Jeffery and his wife, Emilia.
All four of them were well dressed, the men were in their tux while the two ladies were in black gowns, each looking stunning.
In Will’s hand was his phone, and he was scrolling through his Sparrow feed and reading through the posts and comments by viewers.
#Spiderman and #SpidermanEndCredit was still trending, and a smile couldn’t help but the surface on his face as he scrolled through the screen.
“How does it feel to have another Billion Dollar movie under your belt?” Jeffrey’s voice pulled him out of his thoughts.
Will raised his head and closed the phone, he replied, “I am glad everyone took it well. This movie is the indication we can go with the plan to create a whole universe.”
Jeffery nodded, “Yes, the response had been terrific. And the end credits were the cherry on the top.”
Will smiled, “Yes. Although we kept it simple and didn’t explain much, it got us the desired results.”
“I told you,” Jeffery chuckled, “Keeping it simple and not giving the context would increase the curiosity of the audience. Although it was a risky move, I felt the rewards were worth it. I am satisfied with how things have turned out.”
He then glanced at his wife, “It was actually Emilia’s idea, actually.”
Will turned his gaze, “Then I owe you one, haha!”
Emilia smiled, “Yeah, you owe me. How about a double date next weekend at my house? You both have been so busy with work, rarely getting time to relax. Oh, and don’t you dare say if I will get tired. These bones still have enough strength!”
Will grinned and turned towards June, “What do you think, m’lady?”
June nodded, “How can I say no to that?”
“Alright, it’s a deal then,” Emilia smiled, “I will make the arrangements. Just don’t be late, haha!”
Will nodded and relaxed back on the seat.
The success of [Spiderman] had instilled confidence in him and made him even more confident in bringing the MCU to this universe.
Just then, the limo slowed down, and when he looked through the window, he noticed hundreds of reporters on the other side.
“We have arrived,” Jeffery said.
June moved her hand and clasped Will’s hand.
Will glanced at her and smiled. He was filled with anticipation for what was about to happen.
The Oscars were finally here.
