-[X]Post Production (Saved by the Edit): You and George are going to see Marcia and George at Work. That much might be enough. DC: 30 Rolled:
D100 => 57
George was grumpy, but that was just because George was being disturbed. "Alright George, I want to see the progress, I'm pulling producer rank on you."
It was a jab, a joke but one that George did not appreciate. "You know, you can try to edit it?" George shot back.
Oh, he was frustrated. "Something wrong?" You asked.
Marcia patted George's back and he settled. "Slower than we thought. We're slowly integrating the battle reel by reel, but ILM has been… well they are doing some more things that George does not approve of?"
"Do I need to get involved?" You asked.
"No no, they are doing better than I thought," George said. "I like every bit of it, but there is just… too much."
You looked at them both. "Has George finally accepted that we need this movie snappy?"
That earned a look from Marcia. "I need you to pull rank. Gary already said he needs to shorten the movie, but we need you to say that too."
Oh no. "George, we've already talked about it, you'll get your director cut, but we're on a deadline here, and Mikes already said we can't go over"
"I know what Mike said, and what Gary said, and I know we're not going to lose everything, I'm just… losing focus."
You smiled. "This is going to be the greatest film ever George, you just need to realize that… and do the best job that you two both can. And that means just accepting that for this run, it won't have everything."
George sighed. "You're the third person who's told me that…" He sighed. "Alright Marcia, looks like you win the bet."
You saw her kiss George. "Told you he'd see my way." She smiled.
Reward: George is working on Two cuts, the theatrical cut that will be done in a few months, and his own personal director's cut.
Maybe it will be ready soon.

-[X]The Concert of Queen: So wait… Queen has a concert in the LA Area? And no one told you!? Those fools at the ticket office will pay, you need tickets dammit! DC: 20 Rolled:
D100 => 86
To think you almost missed this concert, but honestly, you were just happy to get tickets and somehow managed to Drag Carrie away from her Typewriter to listen to it.
And you were not disappointed as Freddie and Co walked up onto the stage, and just decided to get it going.
You enjoyed Hammed to Fall because it just rocked. And you hoped some of their older stuff would get the love at this concert.
Yet the guys were playing much of their new work for A Night at the Opera, and honestly, you weren't that impressed by it. Sure it was great, they were consistent, but honestly, besides Bohemian Rhapsody, which was so long, that they only played it once… you just hoped there was more.
But two hours in, they were done. You had tried to get an encore going but most of the other concertgoers were not as electrified as you were.
Even Carrie, who was still energized was exhausted by the affair.
Then Brian May, the Guitar hero himself saw you in the front row with Carrie and smiled. "Oh, holy shit, that's Bruce O'Brian Freddie! He's in the front row." He spoke to his front man and the others looked at each other than at you. You were still there, despite others going away.
All four of the men just looked at you slackjawed, as if they hadn't expected you to show up or even appear.
"Hi." You waved, and the men realized that you were indeed there.
-------------------------------
"You're a fan?" Freddie asked. "Never thought you of all people would be a fan of our music?"
"It's anthems of awesomeness and tempo." You replied as you sat in the fours dressing room, and you were thankful they honored your request to not smoke, knowing you were going to be off to the Olympics soon.
"I didn't think you all would watch American television just for me?" You asked.
"Bloody hilarious you are." John Deacon replied, not looking up from the water in his hand trying his best to not be gazing at Carrie.
"Thanks, even though Alan's the real better one." You replied.
That earned a laugh. "So when did you all become fans?" You asked.
Freddie laughed. "You won't believe this, but it was showing during when we called a session early for my… friend." His pause was quiet almost silently. "And we watched it after we were done. Never heard myself laugh that hard in years. Got someone who tapes all the episodes to copy them, and I was able to watch them all at home."
"That's nice."
"Gonna see you again?" Roger asked as he sighed. "On the show that is?"
"My contract didn't get extended, and I wasn't able to renegotiate because of the strike. So they let me go."
"Blasted shame." That was what they all said in some manner.
The conversation quickly turned to Carrie. "So, how's it living with ole Emerald Splash?" Roger asked. "A Knockout?"
Carrie blushed. "Every time."
That earned laughter from everyone with how quick-witted it was.
Reward: You have met Queen.
They all thoroughly enjoy that you like their music, as well as your performances.
They are really excited to see what is coming next.

--[X] Train in Boxing. Try to integrate it with the documentary, give America a good show and share with them your passion for the sport. Rolled:
D100 + 30 => 129
To say that you knocked it out of the park was more the fact that Team USA was just letting you do whatever the hell you wanted.
And honestly, that made everything better.
And you managed to reshoot other Olympics and interviews in less than a week because you were able to get them all to LA just to talk to them.
To get the questions that should have been asked when this first began.
And then you decided to use a little trick that Sly did.
A Small montage, of training.
Going through every sport, and ending itself on the US Flag…
And Team USA.
With all athletes saying their names, with Team USA at the end.
And dammit, you were going to love it.

D100 => 1
"Wait you sold it?"
"I did Bruce, I sold it months ago when I was going through a slump with one of my books. You need to understand that I love you, but I have a life too Bruce, and you…" She sighed. "I'm sorry."
"I just wanted to help you." You whispered over the speaker.
"I know, but that's the thing, I can help myself just fine Bruce. Besides, I honestly think that in a few years, it will get remade. So I'm not worried about it."
"I hate Hollywood, and I like that, you're doing something about that shit hole."
Critical Failure!:
Cat sold the Script already to feed her family, and it's even already in production.
But something tells you that there is a chance to get the film later.
