After Russia had left the trailer, America promptly returned to the task of beautifying himself (He had taken make-up classes, okay!?). Once he felt that his movie-star good looks could be enhanced no further, he slipped on his bomber jacket and strolled out the door over to set.
----
The director had already started filming some preliminary scenes with the other actors. The filming so far had consisted of terrified Soviet citizens fleeing the merciless onslaught of the American army.
A group of very bloodied and disfigured people strolled by America, chatting happily away in Russian, obviously they had just come from filming America figured. Still... it was kind of freaky to see how good some of these special effects make-up artists were.
The director spotted Alfred first and gestured him over with a big, friendly wave of the arm. The way heroes should be treated, Alfred thought.
"So, what are we filming today, dude?" America said, jogging up to beside the director's chair.
"Well, Alfie boy, we're gonna start with a confrontation between you and a KGB officer whose harming innocent American soldiers! You gotta put a stop to it!"
What the director failed to mention was that the only reason the KGB officer was harming "innocent" American soldiers was because they had threatened to kill his family.
Of course, Alfred didn't need to know that.
-----
Filming for the scene had started.
America strode into the house, arms wide open, a sick grin on his face and demented gleam in his eye.
"I've been hearing that you been harmin' my men, boy."
The KGB officer screamed in Russian... America wasn't supposed to understand what he was saying.
"Your men raped my wife... and broke the legs of my children!"
America grabbed the man by the hair and smiled at him, "Damn... it's too darn bad you don't speak English, otherwise, I would've been able to tell you what a little fucker I think you are."
He throw the man against the wall and took "fired" several rounds on him.
oh america why why!? Read the damn script *facepalms* pffft demented nice one you don't even have to know whats it about to be scary...thats even scaries ;A;
Russia sat off to the side, watching as Alfred continued filming the scenes that as America had eloquently put it, "Beating off those damn Soviet bastards who were endangering the 'boys from back home'" Russia, in fact, had been the one to recommend America for the position in the film.
Russia made it a point to get to know some of the prominent Russian-Americans in the United States. It was certainly a good method to gain some influence over what the stupid Americans were saying about the Motherland now. He had met the Russian director at a dinner party held by the United Russian-American Association (it should be clarified that Ivan absolutely detested this name choice). They had gotten to talking, the directors was more than happy to talk about his cinematic exploits while Russia listened half-heartedly... until... they had come to the subject of the Cold War, which at some point or other when discussing Russia and America together (it was either that or the purchase of Alaska).
The director had expressed his interest in making a movie where Americans actually invade the Soviet Union, in retaliation to several of the American-made films where it was opposite. At that point in the conversation, the director had resorted the banging his knife on the table to express his anger. Russia was both warmed and amused by the man's love of the Motherland. It was rare to find that outside of the Russian Federation anymore especially in a place like a America...
What had really caught Russia's attention was when the director started getting a little intoxicated (with Vodka of course) and complained about his inability to find someone to cast as the villain in his movie. He needed someone "with devilishly good-looks who seems to only care seeing that an American brand of justice is enforced."
Well... didn't Russia know the perfect person for that role.
Hence, America beating up all the KGB officers, while irked Russia to no end (his men weren't THAT weak). The deal that he and the director had made would make it all worth in the end...
Dude, you know you're officially a history nerd when the Russian director banging his knife on the table reminds you of Khrushchev banging his shoe on his desk at UN General Assembly. I fail so hard. OTL
And something tells me this suspicious deal between Russia and the director will end up very interesting! ;D
Dude, you update fast and often. :Db
P.S. Help, I keep using the word "dude" and I can't stop! D:
pffff, I love the story of how America got the role. the only thing I wonder is if the director knows who Russia really is (or Alfred, for that matter) Ok, this fic is even better than the prompt, because Alfred's the best villain ever without knowing it lord, that's so brilliant, I don't even-
The person above me is right. Alfred NOT knowing he's actually playing the villain makes it all the more authentic...and frightening. "Your men raped my wife...and broke the legs of my children!" Total Large Ham moment...of course.
I almost wanna scream "Alfred, stop! IT'S A TRAP!!!"
Except that would ruin all the fun, now wouldn't it?
Since I'm reading the Grapes of Wrath, it kind of reminds me of times when America really can stick it to himself.
[Author!Anon would like to express her utmost gratitude to all those readers who put with her unrevised and unedited rough draft of the story. She is thinking that once this is done, she will edit it and make it much more bearable and post it up on ff.net for those who want to read it.]
Glancing up from the bloodied and disemboweled bodies around him, Alfred couldn't help but feel that this was turning out to be a very good day. Sometimes, Alfred needed a little ego-boosting, a little reassurance, that, yes indeed, he was the hero. It's not like he ever forgot it (that would be un-American!) but, you know, heroic acts here and there always helped America reaffirm his true status as, of course, a hero.
So what if a few Soviets had to die to save his American men? Those KGB officers were more than likely hit men, arms and drug dealers, and other unmentionables. As compared to his honorable America men who were only invading the Soviet Union to spare the population from anymore of the horrors created by the Soviet regime. America believed, despite the fact that this was a movie, that a capitalist and conservative society was truly the new path for this country.
Jogging over to the director, Alfred flashed a grin and ran a hand through his hair (Nantucket would never stay down, goddamn it). "So, what didja think of my performance, dude? Pretty hero-like, huh?" He figured that since the director had picked him for the role, they must already be pretty tight. Then again, Alfred figured he was tight with pretty much everyone of his citizens; he was a likable guy after all, right?
"Of course! No one plays this role better than you, Alfred!" Technically, the director was still telling the truth... so he didn't see the harm in not providing all the information about the role... Furthermore, if he had told the Mr.Jones... well, he wouldn't have had quite the same... charisma, would he?
America just grinned goofily again and waved as left to go over to wardrobe to get changed for the next scene.
"Well, Mr. Braginiski, you should probably get into wardrobe too."
Oh man, I love how Alfred doesn't suspect a thing! Still, even if he's unknowingly playing a giant heartless killing machine with no mercy to communists...he's still going to get his fair share of fans who love psycho monsters, so it's a win-win, really! Except for the part where he scares everyone off...
Is Russia gonna 'die' in the movie? It must kill him to loss to America...
I keep thinking that afterwards he will be pissed and sue that he was giving such an unheroic role buuut...it be scary if he flashes that winning smile and is still like 'buuut in reality I'd do that over again since in RL we'd invade for the greater good!'
"You can't think that you're playing a villain, or you'll end up with a cartoon. You have to think about him as a person and a hero."
Filming was wrapping up pretty soon, America was glad, all he wanted to do was go to McDonald's buy a Big Mac (or two... or three) and crash on the couch and play some video games. Hey, even heroes needed a break now and then!
He had just gotten out of wardrobe and was heading over to the "bunker" for the final filming of the day. He wondered idly if he was going to be avenging anymore of his fallen comrades (holy shit, didn't commies use terms like that?) like he had been for most of the scenes he had shot so far; it wasn't like he minded, cause, you know, multiple acts of heroism during a day are always welcomed but... at the same time, he liked variety too!
Cause he was now a professional actor and pros can't always be doing intense action scenes all the time. There was another key element that he was missing from the things that totally made a pro actor legit...
Right!
He had to hook a hot chick too!
The American was so damn sure that when he walked through the doors of the bunker to start filming he was going to see a hot, busty blonde Russian chick waiting for him to come "save" him, that when he a saw a very big and not-female Russian in what looked like ragged peasant's clothing...
Russia himself.
What the fuck?
Alfred totally disregarded that fact that they were already in the process of filming another scene at that precise moment and choose to yell:
"What the hell? Where's my hot, blonde Russian?"
Russia just kind of smiled eerily at him, wondering if the stupid American understood the implications of what he just said.
Snorts and giggles were heard from sound technicians, camera crew, lighting guys, stage managers, and actors.
America backpeddled, "Of the female variety!"
Russia just smirked; it amused him to no end to see the stupid American trip over his own words.
"So what's everyone having a good chuckle about? What's the joke?" Seemingly, out of nowhere, the director had appeared and was now standing beside one very freaked out actor. Everyone quietened down quickly and took their places again, preparing for the next scene. No one was ever sure if the director was serious or not and they really, really didn't want to get on his bad side.
One confused face later, the director finally snapped back into reality, "Okay, Mr. Braginski and Mr. Jones on set please! This is a fairly short scene and I have other engagements to attend after this!"
America just about had an aneurysm, "W-WHAT?! WHY HIM? WHY ME? WHHHYYY?"
"Mr. Jones keep the melodrama for the soap operas."
Russia was like this man more and more every passing minute.
Russia walked onto the set, it was set up like an interrogation room, a small drab room with a gray linoleum floor and a rusty, metal table that looked like it had been stained with blood. Two rather uncomfortable chairs sat opposite from another.
As America walked up behind him, Russia turned around and smiled, "This will be fun, da?"
America thought he just died a little inside.
[So... we will be skipping several months of filming and skipping to Premiere next time guys! *can't spoil what will happen in the interrogation room* I will update parts 9 and 10 tomorrow!]
Heh, I love your voice for America and your sense of humor; it's the little lines like "America thought he just died a little inside." that are so understated yet so damn funny. And I enjoyed that beginning, too: "You can't think that you're playing a villain, or you'll end up with a cartoon. You have to think about him as a person and a hero." Very smart, and almost certainly very true. (Pfft, and everyone laughing at their UST America's comment amused me. XD)
And heck yeah, this sounds like a perfect time for a time skip! :D Although you've got me quite curious to see what happens in the interrogation room, I can't wait to start seeing everyone's reactions change from "America's in a movie? This should be interesting!" or whatever to creeped out and uncomfortable and stuff. And I can't wait to see whether America's clueless about their reactions or tries to cheerfully reassure them and just ends up creeping them out more! Heh.
ROFL I love how America's just freaking out over Russia's role! I wonder where did he get the assumption that its a woman and not Russia! XDD PFFTT he probably thought it was going to be Ukraine!
Oooh I'm dying for the premeire and how everybody's reactions will be! >:DD
Oh man, I just had a thought! That Oscarlicious hysterical breakdown scene leads to both Russia and America winning Oscars: Russia gets Best Actor and America gets Best Supporting Actor (that is if Russia is the hero since America is the villain). America'd butthurt in that he never got a Best Actor, and lost it to Russia. LOL
...and then after the movie comes out slash fangirls make Alfred/Ivan fiction of the characters in the movies and America and Russia are both like "OH GOD WHAT HAVE WE DONE???"
He really wasn't used to all the attention, there were cameras flashing everywhere which only seemed to confused and disorient him further. When a photographer asked for his picture, he stopped and turned slowly to face them. Japan knew it was impolite to turn the young and eager man down but he suspected more and more would continue to take his picture and that would mean he would be late to the screening which would be even ruder.
"Ah, allow me to consider it and perhaps at a later date," Japan began backing up slowly while giving a few short bows before turning quickly and walking towards the venue.
When America had invited Japan to go see the screening of 'For Justice?', which apparently America would be starring in, Japan had been somewhat reluctant to go; mainly because he wanted to avoid that noisy and loud crowd that was to be waiting outside of the movie theater selected for the screening. Of course, Japan was also very interested in seeing a new Western film, so he thought it wouldn't be such a bad idea (not to mention it would've been very rude to miss it).
"Yo Japan!" America came jogging up along side of him with the same horde of photographers that were snapping more and more photos. America paused and struck another heroic pose for the paparazzi who just seemed to eat it up all the more. Japan had never felt older.
"Ah, America-san," Japan attempted to get the American's attention,"we wouldn't want to miss the screening..." Thankfully, America seemed to agree that seeing his debut as an actor (hero) most certainly took priority over getting his photo taken (but just barely).
"You're totally right Japan! We can't miss my heroic debut!" He easily slipped out of the encroaching photographers grabbed Japan's hand and dragged him into the theater. Japan, somewhat flustered at the sudden contact (honestly, were all Westerners this forward?) was immediately distracted by the massive amount of nation present. It looked as if almost everyone was here... Whoever had put this together must've really gone all out. The lights dimmed signaling that the guests should move from the reception area into the theater.
"Are you ready for my awesome debut Japan?" America asked, turning around and giving Japan a huge grin as moved towards the theater entrance,
"Yes," Japan agreed, giving a slight nod of his head, "I'm sure it will be very interesting."
They took their seats waiting for the director to come out and give his speech before the screening started. Japan listened quietly as America told him of his exploits during the movie and what part was surely to be "the most epic and awesomest" and how he was so "heroic". Japan, for the most part, simply nodded occasionally acknowledging that he had heard what America had said. He couldn't give his opinion on the film until he had actually seen it.
One thing did catch his attention though, America had said:
"I made this movie so awesome but I like seriously can't believe that Russia got a part in the film cause, you know, he's gonna make it horrible and stuff spreading his creepiness and stuff all over the place..."
Wait, why was Russia in the same movie as America? Japan started to feel a little queasy... maybe it would've been better if he hadn't come...
The chattering suddenly died down as the director walked out onto the stage and applause was heard. The director paused in front of the mike and smiled as the applause gradually died down.
"First of all, I want to thank you all for coming to the first official screening of our movie! I would explain my ideals for creating this movie but, to be honest, the main inspiration was a long held grudge against the film 'Red Dawn'. I flipped the situation around and decided to show the other side. The only question I want you to ask yourselves is how far is this country willing to go to enforce it's brand of justice? What lines will be crossed? Finally, I would like to say that some of our actors may even be surprised by the final product."
A poignant glance was shot at America and, of course, it went right over his head.
Japan head turned around sharply, from behind him had come a little giggle.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to update this for about a week due to me visiting Alfred for a 'lil while. I'm gonna finish this up in the car and post it when I get back!
Apologies for late updates and failed characterisation of Japan!
And, also, next time will be the big interrogation scene... then, the two next parts will be everyone's reactions! Huhuhu~
MMmmmmph!!! I'm nearly biting my lip off in the anxiety! All this build up to America's shock with himself, as well as everyone else's shock...Oh God, the tension is so high right now...

Wait, why was Russia in the same movie as America? Japan started to feel a little queasy... maybe it would've been better if he hadn't come...
The chattering suddenly died down as the director walked out onto the stage and applause was heard. The director paused in front of the mike and smiled as the applause gradually died down.
"First of all, I want to thank you all for coming to the first official screening of our movie! I would explain my ideals for creating this movie but, to be honest, the main inspiration was a long held grudge against the film 'Red Dawn'. I flipped the situation around and decided to show the other side. The only question I want you to ask yourselves is how far is this country willing to go to enforce it's brand of justice? What lines will be crossed? Finally, I would like to say that some of our actors may even be surprised by the final product."
A poignant glance was shot at America and, of course, it went right over his head.
Japan head turned around sharply, from behind him had come a little giggle.
The movie started.

Apologies for late updates and failed characterisation of Japan!
And, also, next time will be the big interrogation scene... then, the two next parts will be everyone's reactions! Huhuhu~
Later~
