Chapter 1
Ronald was packing his documents and getting ready to go home. He remembered reincarnating two years prior. He'd been baffled to find himself in 1992, so he'd done what any sane person would: sell all the property left by his parents, head to Wall Street, and earn millions.
But that had been too easy. God had given him a second chance, and he was determined to fulfill his true dream of becoming a movie director.
That's what he'd been doing for the past two years: learning filmmaking. Now, he was ready. At 22 years old, he was quite young for a director, but his wealth was a significant advantage.
He had a friend named Jared Jones. Ronald called Jared.
"Hey, Jared, what's up, man?" Ronald asked.
"Just chilling, bro. Why'd you call?" Jared replied.
"Jared, I'm ready to make a movie. Are you in?"
"Okay, Ronald, I'm gonna come to your house and we'll make a plan for your movie. Okay, bro, I'm coming."
Ronald had already written a script; it was an adult comedy with an estimated budget of five million dollars. He knew he could leverage his future knowledge to make vast sums in the stock market if money was his only concern. While the thought of outright copying blockbusters from his past life had crossed his mind, it wasn't his style. He firmly believed in taking inspiration from those films, not plagiarizing them wholesale.
His first movie, tentatively titled Naughty Boys, would draw inspiration from films like American Pie, Old School, and The Virginity Hit.
Jared arrived at Ronald's house, hardly waiting to get through the door before asking, "Man, where is the script for the movie?"
Ronald took out the script for Naughty Boys and handed it over. Jared immediately began reading, engrossed in the pages.
The story revolved around four boys determined to lose their virginity to older women, leading to a series of awkward and uproarious situations. It was undeniably a good adult comedy.
Finally, Jared looked up, a grin spreading across his face. "Okay, Ronald, I'm in! When do we start preparation?"
From that moment, Ronald officially became the director, and Jared took on the role of producer.
They immediately began the arduous task of gathering their film crew. In Hollywood, finding a production crew wasn't inherently difficult; independent films were a dime a dozen. However, a five-million-dollar budget in 1994 was considered a significant sum for an independent movie, giving them a good starting point.
Roland called a CAA agent Paul Jackson
He know Ronald has money so he keep on Ronald. Hey Paul I'm Ronald yes man I'm starting my first movie can u help me ya I can accept CAA packing service

Roland want 4 boy for main leads and some old actresses and some new actresses
He find he can not find similar face in audition so he just chose some funny actors and rest leave to casting director
Ronald knew he needed professional help to navigate Hollywood. He reached out to Paul Jackson, an agent at CAA (Creative Artists Agency), knowing Paul would be keen to work with someone who had his kind of capital.
"Hey Paul, I'm Ronald," he began, getting straight to the point. "Yeah man, I'm starting my first movie. Can you help me? I'd love to accept CAA's full packaging service."
"Okay, bro, meet me tomorrow," Paul replied, his voice already enthusiastic. "Bye."
The next day, Paul and Ronald met at a bustling cafe.
"Hello, Ronald," Paul greeted him warmly. "So, you're ready?"
"Yes, I'm ready, Paul," Ronald confirmed. "My script is complete."
"Can I see your script, Ronald?" Paul asked.
"Of course, this is it," Ronald said, handing over the Naughty Boys screenplay.
Paul read through the script, nodding occasionally. "An adult comedy, good for a newcomer," he mused aloud. "Okay, I'll be in touch soon." They shook hands, and then parted ways.
Paul immediately met with his boss, explaining Ronald's project and the significant budget. The boss quickly gave it the green light. With CAA's backing, the crew stabilized in just a week, an incredibly fast turnaround. Soon after, CAA's stable of actors began arriving for auditions.
Ronald was looking for four young men for the main leads, along with some experienced older actresses and some fresh, new talent. He quickly realized he couldn't find exact "similar faces" from his past life during the auditions. Instead, he opted to choose some genuinely funny actors for the core roles and left the rest to his casting director.
Crew, Cast, and Pre-Production Wrap-Up
With CAA's formidable resources, the production team for Naughty Boys quickly solidified, with key roles like Director of Photography, Production Designer, Editor, Costume Designer, and Composer swiftly filled.
For the four main leads, Ronald chose actors who radiated a natural, if bumbling, comedic charm:
Chad: Played by Kevin Reynolds
Mike: Played by Danny Stevens
Sam: Played by Tyler Maxwell
Leo: Played by Chris O'Connell
Among the supporting cast, the casting director found a mix of established comedic veterans and promising newcomers for the "older women" and other roles:
Ms. Davison (the boys' teacher/older woman interest): Played by Sharon Stone (a known actress from Ronald's past life, chosen for a specific reason perhaps, or just a fun nod)
Jessica (popular high school girl): Played by Lisa Montgomery (a fresh face who impressed them)
With the core crew and main cast in place, pre-production moved at a blistering pace. Locations were scouted and secured –
from suburban homes to a classic diner and the local high school. Budgets were finalized down to the last prop, and a comprehensive shooting schedule was meticulously planned.
Costume fittings began, sets were designed and built, and the entire team immersed themselves in the world of Naughty Boys.
By the end of what felt like a whirlwind, pre-production was officially complete. Ronald, Jared, and the entire crew were ready. All that remained was to shout "Action!"
