Followup effect and Shooting

"The Tonight show" has mantained the average viewership of nearly 4 million for a long time. With the increase in number of talk shows and development of online media, this number is decreasing everyday. That's way, NBC invite a lot of celebrities and popular stars to the show, to bring more viewers.

Although Amy is famous now, but it is still less than the usual celebrities invited to the show. Producers were a little uncertain about inviting Amy, as her popularity doesn't help show much. The main reason why Amy was here was because of the help of MGM and CAA.

But when the final ratings of the episode of "Tonight Show" came out, everyone from the studio executives to producers and host of the show were excited.

6.3 million was just the average rating. The moment when Amy thanked everyone in front of the camera recieved a rating of nearly 8 million. This number is double than their average viewership.

The feed back from the Tonight show has obviously been huge. On 29 July, when the show was broadcasted, the theaters showing "Legally Blonde" were once again filled with the audience.

On August 8, box office of the next week was announced, which is also the fourth week of "Legally blonde". This week "American Pie 2" topped the box office with a collection of 45 million $. "Legally Blonde" came on the fourth place with a box office of 20 million $. This is 39 percent increase than the previous week. The total collection has reached a terrifying amount of more than 85 million $, a little less than 100 million. This amount shocked everyone in the United States. The name Amy Collins has become synonym with miracles since then.

The whole industry is talking about Amy while Amy herself is in Wilmington, shooting the movie "A walk to remember". It is already the eighth day since they started shooting.

"Shane, where is your attention. I am talking to you." Director Adam Shankman looked at the male lead actor of his movie. Shane is obviously a very dedicated actor, but don't know why he is always getting distracted on the set. He looked at Shane's line of sight and saw Amy talking with producer of the movie.

Shane who was called looked back and saw director looking at him with a poker face again. He hurriedly defended himself, "I was looking for Producer Denise. He told me yesterday that he wanted to talk to me about movie's music."

Director Adam was helpless and didn't know what to say. Amy Collins charm is something the whole industry talks about. He also believes that it is only natural for a boy at the age of Shane to be attracted. He said to Shane: "I am not blaming anyone here. If there is anyting you have in mind, then you can tell Amy." he paused and then continued, "But only after the shooting is completed. I don't want a disturbance between the lead actors on the set."

Shane nodded. He agrees with the director's approach. Meanwhile Amy also came where Director was sitting with Shane. She looked at Shane, "What's the matter with you. Why are you nervous."

"Nothing, I was just discussing the next scene with Director." Shane replied.

"Lets shoot the next scene. Staff members are already waiting." Director Adam spoke.

[ "Landen Carter is asking for help." Jeannie smiled with a tease.

"Yeah" Landen replied surrendering.

"I will write for you." Jeannie says to Landen who is not able to memorize his lines of the play.

"Jeannie, no look.." Landen persuades.

"Obviously you never asked anybody for help before. A request like yours require flattering and groveling. It can't be all about you. It has to be for common good of everybody." Jeannie says with a raised smile.

"It is for common good. Edie Zimmer HOF deserves the best, please."

"Okay, one condition."

"what's up."

"You have to promise that you won't fall in love with me."

Landen laughed hearing this, "That's not a problem."

"Okay, then see you in afternoon after the school." Jeannie left while agreeing. ]

"Cut"

"Perfect take. Prepare the set for next scene." Director Adam's voice sounded on the set.

Amy went to the resting area. She was not tired much. She's enjoying this shooting compared to the "Legally blonde". It maybe because she's not worried as much as before.

The shooting of the movie was completed by 30th August, and the only thing left is post production, Amy has nothing to do with it. She attended the farewell dinner with the crew. It was small but pleasent. Outside the hotel, Amy was bidding farewell to Shane.

"It was a wonderful experience filming with you."

"I also enjoyed it a lot."

"You look a little nervous. Do you have something to say." Amy looked with puzzlement at Shane. He was sweating a lot.

Shane seemed to be struggling a lot as if making his mind about something. In the end, he only said, "I will miss the shooting time. You are very good."

Amy smiled hearing Shane's praise. "Thank you a lot. I think you don't need to sweat for this, otherwise what will your girlfriend think."

"I don't have a girlfriend now." Shane denied and clarified himself.

"Oh.. I thought you had. By the way, a free tip from a friend. Girls like confident boys." Amy said to Shane with a smile and gave a light parting hug, "Bye, my agent's waiting for me."

Amy returned to her car parked on the road side and Shane was left standing in the wind, thinking about the the last words. This all was seen by two people, Director Adam and Richard waiting in the car, but they didn't say anything.

As Amy entered the car, she was greeted by Richard's glaring eyes. Puzzled, she asked, "What's the matter with you now."

Richard asked seriously: "Did you really not understand?"

"What"

Seeing that Amy doesn't understand Shane's situation till now, he could only mourn for poor Shane. But its good for him if his artist remains a little slow in understanding love matters. He won't stop Amy from being in a relationship, but he also doesn't want her to be in relationship so early of her career.

Richard was secretly glad. He answered, "Its nothing."

The car started driving. Poor Richard didn't know that his expectations were soon going to be blown away.
