Versatile Superstar: Rise In Hollywood

On the ground, Blaze kept shouting as the bullets killed his own brother. No, he killed his own brother. 

In front of him, his brother was still looking at him eyes wide. The demon inside of him had tried his best to take over his brother but ultimately, he had died alongside him. 

Blaze had managed to kill him. He had managed to save the world. 

But he himself wasn't happy. Tears were running through his face and his legs were shaking as he fell to the ground, completely defeated. 

He kept shouting as the scene came to a close. 

"Cut!

Olio's voice sounded out as Blaze became Aiden. The immersion broke and Aiden realised that there were more people around him than the actor who was playing the character of Ren. 

It took him a few minutes before he was able to truly come back to the real world.

Emotions of Blaze were like a turbulent storm and it was hard to subdue them. Only after he did it was he able to stop his body from shaking. 

Olio noticed this and realised that Aiden had immersed too much into the scene. 

"You did a good job there. The editing team is going to have a field day with the scene as we need several versions of it."

"Hope they like it."

For the first part of [Hex], the scene was only going to contain Blaze shooting his brother and there won't be any explanation given to it. Only in the second part would it be explained. 

Aiden was sure that if the first part worked, there were going to be tons of fan theories on it. Though, as the book was already out, most people would already know the answer to it. 

Still, a majority of the audience in today's world would rather wait for the next part to come out than read the books. 

"Anyway, we are pretty much at the end. A lot of months have passed." Olio said as Aiden stood up, dusting himself off. 

"I'm kinda looking forward to ending it actually."

"You didn't have a good time on the set? I wasn't even that harsh on you." Olio laughed and looked at him while he shook his head. 

"Nah, it's not that. Blaze gets too chaotic as the story moves. That becomes his end too. I want to get to the end fast. Give him rest. Unlike someone like Kai, he's pitiful and never wanted such a situation."

If he thinks about it clearly, in the last stages of his character transformation, Blaze would be a shade of Kai. 

An equally crazy character but just he will be more of a good person. He never wanted to hurt someone innocent but he lost himself in his powers due to the death of his brother. 

In the end, while Kai kept pleasure in the pains he gave to others, Blaze was the exact opposite. He felt bad yet he had no choice. 

Aiden felt like it would be better if such a character got its end soon. 

Among the fans, Blaze was a very popular character due to that. A lot of them have actually begged the author to give him some happiness somehow. But the author was hell bent on making him a character that shows that not everyone gets happiness in life after a point. 

'You will get your end soon, Blaze.'

Aiden thought as they moved to another scene. The days were limited now and everyone on the set was trying their best to give a happy ending to a project that was one of the biggest ones on their portfolio. 

***

The shooting was on the final day now. For months, the whole crew had been on it day and night and finally, it was at the end. 

The final scene chosen to be shot was a very simple one. In it, Blaze would just wake up after the war for the Hex weapons had ended and look at the end. His one hand has been amputated after the fight, so he only had one left. 

The scene was just him looking at the sun. A short, simple one but the crew had decided to go with it, so they could shoot it in one take. 

"Everyone, I know I have given you hard days in recent times. You probably cussed me more than my ex wife but this is the end. Are you all ready?"

Olio shouted in the mic and a few people chuckled. They told him that it was worth it or the experience was good enough. Few actors who were scolded hard by Olio also smiled at his words. 

At least he was aware of his antics. 

"Get the lights and mic in place. Aiden, are you ready?"

He asked, looking at Aiden who nodded his head. 

Aiden closed his eyes and prepared himself for what would be the last scene. He didn't know if he was prepared for it. 

He had already done all the other scenes with Blaze, so he felt like it was fine. His journey was almost over. Still, it was always sad when he had to say goodbye to a character.

[Hex|28 May -2020|Act 13|Scene 3|Take 1]

Blaze opened his eyes and looked around. He was in his room. He didn't know what time it was but it was probably morning. He felt refreshed, meaning that he had gotten enough rest. 

Yet something felt missing inside of him. 

He looked on his right and saw that his arm wasn't there. It was a wooden arm fixed in its place that was there just for show. 

'It hadn't set in that I lost an entire arm. I doubt it will ever set in.'

He thought in his mind and tried to get out of his bed. Normally, he would head straight to eat and just do whatever he felt like. At this point, he rarely cared. 

After all, he was now just waiting for his death. 

There was nothing to look forward to. 

But that day, his steps stopped and instead of going downstairs, he headed towards the window. He didn't know why but he felt like looking at the scenery outside the window. 

The war was already over and he was curious to know how the world is going on. He had isolated himself, preparing himself for his death. The war had made him overuse his powers, making his powers a kind of a poison for him. 

In the end, there was no cure for it, so only death awaited the man who had saved the world. 

Reaching the window, he hesitated. He pondered whether he should open it or not but in the end, he used his only working hand to open it. Suddenly, a ray of light struck him, bathing him in a warmth that he had forgotten. 

He blinked his eyes and looked up at the sky. The sun, bright as red, was out in the wide sky that seemed to be its playground. Birds were happily flying under it and the whole world seemed to be at peace. 

It was vastly different from the time that the war was going on. 

Watching it, Blaze fell into a trance like state and a thought entered his mind. 

'Maybe in the end, I did a good thing.'

He thought and smiled, watching the sky. That was a warm smile. 

It was at that moment Olio's voice sounded out. 

"Cut! It's a wrap!"

The shooting was finally over. 

***

<The production team of [Hex] had finished the shooting of the fantasy adventure drama. Both the parts have been shot simultaneously and it looks like Titan studios are extremely confident in the product.>

<[Hex] first part is going to take a different approach from the books. Aiden Silvereye posted a photo of the wrap party with the crew, thanking everyone. Read all about it on our website.>

Articles soon come up after the wrap of the whole shooting. Another movie was done by Aiden. The results were yet to come but it was way more confident with his recent projects. 

As an actor, his script sense had gotten better with each project. He was even touted as someone with great script sense. 

His system obviously helps in that but Aiden himself had contributed to it. After all, he was a writer, so his eye for good stories could be trusted. 

Though, it was another thing if the projects would be profitable. 

With that done, Aiden had time till December before the shooting of 'Project Dream' will be started. In the few months, he was planning to add something to his schedule. 

After all, it was not like him to just take a whole few months break without any reason at this point of his career. 

So, he had a few things in his mind already like taking filmmaking classes or learning martial arts. 

Though, before he could even try them, an opportunity arrived on its own.
