"What the fuck was happening?" Raelynn muttered under her breath.
As Raelynn and Will tried to calm the woman down, Chad gently pushed her away and asked her to leave. The woman, however, was not willing to budge and continued to cling to Chad.
Suddenly, the woman's demeanor changed and she began to shout, "You stole my heart, Chad! I love you!" Everyone on set was stunned as the woman continued to profess her love for Chad.
Chad's face turned red with embarrassment as he tried to reason with the woman. "Ma'am, I'm sorry but I don't even know you," he said.
The woman ignored his words and continued to hold onto him tightly. Raelynn quickly called for security, and within minutes, the woman was escorted off the set.
Chad tried to shake off the strange encounter as Raelynn and Will assured him that everything would be okay. However, the incident left everyone on edge and they decided to take a short break before resuming filming.
As they regrouped, Raelynn couldn't help but wonder who the woman was and why she was so fixated on Chad. She knew that this incident would not be easily forgotten and that it may have an impact on the rest of the shoot.
With a deep breath, Raelynn looked at Will and Chad and said, "Okay, let's get back to work." As they walked towards the set, Raelynn couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She had a feeling that this was only the beginning of the challenges they would face in bringing this movie to life.
As the woman was dragged away by security, Chad took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "I'm sorry about that," he said to the group, his voice trembling slightly.
Raelynn and Will exchanged a worried glance. "Are you okay, Chad?" Raelynn asked, placing a hand on his shoulder.
Chad nodded, but his eyes were still wide with shock. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just... I don't know who that was."
Will frowned. "Did she say anything to you?"
Chad shook his head. "No, she just hugged me and said my name. I didn't even get a chance to react before security pulled her away."
Raelynn and Will shared a concerned look. "We should tell Gar about this," Will said firmly. "It's not safe to have fans just walking onto the set like that."
Chad nodded, still looking shaken. "Yeah, you're right. Let's go find him."
As the group made their way off the set, Chad couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Who was that woman, and why had she singled him out like that? He couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, and he couldn't wait to talk to Gar about it.
After searching for Gar, the group finally found him in his trailer. Chad quickly recounted what had happened on the set, and Gar's expression grew serious.
"That's not good," he said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "We can't have fans just walking onto the set like that. It's not safe for anyone."
Will nodded in agreement. "We were just about to shoot an intense scene too. Who knows what could have happened if security hadn't been there?"
Raelynn's brow furrowed with concern. "Do you think it's possible that she was dangerous?"
Gar's jaw tightened. "We can't rule anything out. We'll need to be extra vigilant from now on. Chad, you might want to consider increasing your security detail."
Chad nodded, feeling a knot form in his stomach. He had always known that fame came with its own set of risks, but he had never felt as vulnerable as he did now.
"Thanks, Gar," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I appreciate it."
Gar clapped him on the back. "Don't worry about it, kid. We'll make sure you're safe."
But as Chad left Gar's trailer and made his way back to his own, he couldn't shake the feeling that things were only going to get worse from there.

[Renner's Mansion: 7 pm]
Ian was in front of the house, sitting in the chair, in the garden.
He had a lot of thoughts in his head. And most of them were occupied with the stress that comes with every part of their career.
His laptop was in front of him, and on his laptop screen, there was his script. Right in front of his eyes.
He read along the lines, and his mind went to his memory library, playing the movie in his mind.

FADE IN:
EXT. BONASERA HOUSE - DAY
The camera shows a close-up of the American flag hanging outside the Bonasera house. The camera then moves back to show the exterior of the house.
The camera moves inside the house and shows the living room, where the wedding photographs of Johnny, the daughter of the house, are being taken.
Bonasera, the father of the bride, is talking to his neighbour, Amerigo Bonasera.
BONASERA
Look at my daughter's face. She is as beautiful as the day she was born. I'm so happy.
AMERIGO
She's a good girl. You're lucky to have her.
BONASERA
I know. I'm proud of her.
AMERIGO
Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
Suddenly, the doorbell rings. Bonasera opens the door to find Don Vito Corleone, surrounded by his bodyguards, standing on his doorstep.
DON VITO
Bonasera, Bonasera. What have I done to deserve such disrespect?
BONASERA
I'm sorry, Don Corleone. I'm just a little nervous. This is my daughter's wedding day.
DON VITO
You ask me to do a favour for you, and you can't even give me the respect to call me Godfather. You come to me on the day of my daughter's wedding, and you ask me to do murder for money.
BONASERA
I ask for justice, Godfather.
DON VITO
That is not justice. Your daughter is still alive.
The camera shows a close-up of Bonasera's face, filled with fear and desperation.
DON VITO
And yet, you come to me for help.
BONASERA
I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do.
DON VITO
You come to me for help, but you don't offer me any respect. You don't even think to call me Godfather.
BONASERA
I'm sorry, Godfather.
DON VITO
Take your daughter's wedding photographs, and leave them with me. Then, come to me on the day that I call upon you, and I will do this favour for you. Until that day, consider this justice a gift on my daughter's wedding day.
The camera shows a close-up of Don Vito's face, serious and stern, as Bonasera leaves the house with his daughter's wedding photographs.
FADE OUT.

"As much as I wanted to write The Matrix, two sci-fi's in a row is too much. But I'd definitely go with… The Godfather."
Ian talked to himself, as no one could hear him. He took the laptop and started typing the rest of the script.
The Godfather, in Ian's previous world, was known to be one of the most iconic films in cinema history. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, the movie was released in 1972 and is based on Mario Puzo's novel of the same name.
The budget for The Godfather was around $6 million, which was a large sum for a movie at that time. However, the film went on to become a massive success, grossing over $134 million at the box office. This made it one of the highest-grossing films of its time and established it as a cultural phenomenon.
The Godfather was not only a commercial success, but it also received critical acclaim. It won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Marlon Brando, and Best Adapted Screenplay for Francis Ford Coppola and Mario Puzo. It was also nominated for several other awards, including Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Original Score.
The Godfather's success can be attributed to its compelling storyline, excellent performances, and attention to detail. The movie follows the Corleone family, a powerful Italian-American mafia clan, as they navigate their way through a web of violence, betrayal, and family drama.
In this world, Ian wanted to create The Godfather because he was drawn to the themes of power, loyalty, and family that the movie explores. He was fascinated by the intricate web of relationships between the characters and the way the story unfolds over time. Additionally, he couldn't help but appreciate the film's attention to detail, from the costumes and sets to the way the dialogue is written and delivered.
Overall, The Godfather is a masterpiece of cinema that has had a lasting impact on popular culture and continues to inspire filmmakers today in his previous world, thus which was why he wanted to create something revolutionary, yet again.
