We're in the picture business! Started by: FrankCastiglia on Jul 23, '22 22:16

Frank steps to a podium that is swarmed by paparazzi and inquiring mobsters alike. He adjusts his tie before tapping the microphone to see if it’s hot. He clears his throat as he begins to speak.
 

“It was a clear black night, a clear white moon Frankie C was on the streets, tryin' to consume…”

 

“Wait, no, that’s the wrong speech!”

 

He quickly folds that paper up and puts it into his pocket as he fumbles around until he finds the correct one.

 

“Ah, yes, here we go. Ahem, now this is a story all about how, my life got flipped turned upside down!”

 


Franks face had a cross look come upon it.

 

“Fuck! No that’s not it either. Ladies and gentleman my apologies, one moment.”

 

Frank leans back and whispers something to his business associate Bobs_Burgers. After confusingly digging around in his apron, Bob relays a grease soaked paper and hands it to Frank. Franks face has an unpleasant look as he uses two fingers to retrieve the paper from Bob before carefully unfolding it.

 

“Again, my apologies. It seems my business associates forgot which papers I was supposed to be referencing tonight.”
 

Frank cuts his eyes at Bob before returning them to the crowd and smiling.

 

“As you are gathered here today, it is my upmost honor. No! My privilege to announce to you a new venture into the 20th century! We’ve all by now surely seen how moving pictures, movies as they call them, have swept the nation! Myself and my associates are no different than the next plain Jane or Tom, Dick or Harry in that we are captivated, mesmerized and even taken back by the wonder that is the movie business!”

 

“So it is with great pride that I announce today that myself and my business associates are opening up an expansion into the film industry that will be known as “Frank Bobs Beefy Schwartz Studios” in Hollywood, where else? We will be leading the cutting edge in film making, special effects, writing, money laundering, I mean, money making.”

 

“And we are happy to announce our first feature film and the star of the film himself is here with us today! Introducing BBB the star of our first feature to come to theaters near you soon, “She Came Twice”. A Frank Bobs Beefy Schwartz studios production!”


“It’s a love story but about vampires! But also about revenge! But about love! It’s a modern day Romeo and Juliet! And we are proud to showcase to you this day, the hero and star, BBB!!!”


Frank turns to the side and claps as a small brass band plays BBB onto the stage as he smiles and flexes for the audience. The camera shutters flash and the people shout questions and “oohs” and “ahhhs”.

 

“People! People! Calm down! BBB is a star not a spokesperson! Look at him! Chiseled jaw, impeccable physique! But don’t ask him to do a math equation!”

 

Frank along with the crowd chuckles.

 

“My partners and I are excited for this business venture as we have collaborated across many cities to fund this venture. We look to bring much success as well as happiness, smiles and excitement to the minds and faces alike of the public. Now, if you have any questions, I will be answering them here. But we are short on time, money never sleeps after all and neither do actors on a contract!”

 

Frank smiles and awaits questions from those gathered today.

The smartly dressed man coughed and threw his cigar on the floor. HeadCoach was right, these really sucked. It was the first day of filming. However, he had decided get in early and do some of his own directing work before Frank arrived. All the equipment had been paid for, might as well make the most of it. Anyway, Bobs_Burgers was here and he said it was fine, Void had flown in from LV and all were ready to get this show on the road. The three men stood together watching the scene unfold in front of them.

Hobbs was dressed in cat ears, he chuckled as he flicked his tail playfully. Alina was looking swole after her time training with MikeTyson and her eyes sparkled as she gazed at Hobbs in his little cat suit his long ginger blonde hair creating a natural mane . The actors put their game faces on and the scene began

Void leaned over to BBB and whispered in his ear

I can see what's happening 

And they don't have a clue

They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line

Our trio's down to two 

BBB nodded to Void. Void begins gesturing and being dramatic with his hands.

The sweet caress of twilight

There's magic everywhere 

And with all this romantic atmosphere

Disaster's in the air

Bobs_Burgers leans into the two men as he watches the scene unfolding in front of him. He was a man that had a way with words. BBB and Void turned to face him. 

Can you feel the love tonight?

The peace the evening brings

The world, for once, in perfect harmony

With all its living things

BBB and Void, nod. They turned their attention to Hobbs and Alina

"Cut" BBB shouted as he noticed Hobbs looking concerned and worried. BBB lowered his sunglasses and strolled slowly over to Hobbs.

"What's up mate? You seem distracted and not in the moment"

Hobbs turned dramatically to BBB 

I’m not sure, something just feels different… 

BBB’s mind wanders thinking of how to get his star back on track and the plights of his star

So many things to tell her

But how to make her see

The truth about my past? Impossible

She'd turn away from me

BBB glanced towards Alina as his mind continued to wander 

He's holding back, he's hiding

But what, I can't decide

Why won't he be the king I know he is

The king I see inside?

BBB put his hand to his head and continued to think. He wandered back over to Bob and Void. What is this shit. I'm losing it. He took some of the tablets MikeTyson had given him. 

Bob started off on another rant 

Can you feel the love tonight?

The peace the evening brings

The world, for once, in perfect harmony

With all its living things

Can you feel the love tonight?

You needn't look too far

Stealing through the night's uncertainties

Love is where they are

BBB looked at Void and Void looked at him. 

"Void, I am very very concerned about our friend. I don't know what to do"

BBB wiped his brow and continued 

And if he falls in love tonight

It can be assumed

His carefree days with us are history

In short, our pal is doomed 

Void's eyes began to water and he teared up at BBBs words. The men turned back to watch. 

"Action and lets get this shit done before Frank wakes up"

MikeTyson wanders across the scene singing

We're so wonderfully, wonderfully

Wonderfully, wonderfully pretty

BBB woke up with a start in a cool sweat. Looking down at the needle and syringe laying by his side. What the hell was this stuff? Frank had given it to him. He had said all the big stars were doing it. BBB finished off the whiskey that was left in the bottom of his glass and headed off to shoot for the day.
