Versatile Superstar: Rise In Hollywood

”I think it ’s still quite impressive. First music and then this. You have come a long way since the last time we met. ”

When Aiden heard that, he couldn ’t help but smile a bit, thinking of the day he last saw Katie.

Compared to that time, it was true that he had changed a lot. And seeing her also made him realise how far he had come. Rather than just relying on acting, he had ventured out into other fields, accumulating popularity slowly, which had ultimately helped him in his acting career.

”I ’m just more focused on the things I know I could do. Moreover, after doing two movies, I feel like I ’m getting a better sense of acting. ”

”That might be true, ” Katie whispered back. ”I was very nervous when shooting scenes with many famous actors in the beginning, but I ’m more used to it now and know how to not get overwhelmed. Moreover, you might not know, but working with famous stars is not as grand as you might think. ”

Aiden raised an eyebrow at that. From the conversations he remembered with Katie, she always wanted to stand among the very best.

”I thought that ’s what you always wanted. ”

”Yeah, but that was my thinking before I did movies with them. ” Katie chuckled. ”Some of them are good, but many are pretty much in their own world. I thought I would learn a lot from them, but it wasn ’t always the case. Most of them were too busy for me to get to know them. Some will do a scene, then an interview, then another scene, then a fan meeting and so on. ”

”Sounds like your dream was not exactly like you imagined. Well, isn ’t there a saying? Never meet your heroes. ”

Aiden said, remembering his days on the set of [Shadows of War]. Katie had probably encountered people like Aaron Hart, but he also knew that not everyone was like the latter. Ray Hardy, the lead of the [Shadows of War], had treated him pretty well on the set and had even helped him in preparation for the role of Kai.

”Yeah, but I at least got a lot of money. It ’s way better than struggling to pay rent every month. ”

Katie said, leaning on her seat and picking up her cup of coffee. Slowly slipping it up, she stared at Aiden, thinking he looked a bit more mature now.
