With Santiago off the set, filming continued. There were still several scenes left before starting the final stretch. On the other hand, Santiago was also entering another final stretch, since the year was coming to an end and with that would be the graduation.
He had missed several classes due to work, but since he had notified about it, there was no problem and he finished his course favorably, received his certification and his student term ended.
His parents and brother had come to witness his graduation, they helped him find a new apartment, because upon graduation he could not stay in the one he was in, but he had already received payment for the Luchadores series, so he had just over $300,000. in your bank account.
Together they found a small, quite comfortable, furnished apartment with two rooms. It was not luxurious, but it was very comfortable, not to mention that it was a nice area with good accessibility to public transport, so it was perfect.
While Santiago and his family were looking for an apartment, the Luchadores series was in the final stages of editing and promotion had begun. Víctor, Damián, Katia and Amanda were the promotional posters for the series.
The 4 actors were the main roles in the series and the most popular and relevant actors among all the cast, so it was normal for them to promote the series and do interviews.
Santiago and his family watched it on television and the internet. His relatives wanted to see the series, but they knew that it would not be possible, since it would only be broadcast on US television and it would take a while before reaching the internet where they could see it in Colombia.
Channel 4 did not have any online platform similar to Netflix, so Santiago's family could not watch their son's series at the moment, even so, they were happy.
His family was visiting him for about 15 days. After that they returned to Colombia and Santiago returned to his routine again. With the change of apartment, some things changed.
Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
Since he changed his home address, he had to change gyms, he was clear that he had to stay in shape, appearance was a great asset as an actor. It wasn't too hard to find one nearby and without delay he signed up.
It was a better gym that I attended before, better equipment, more trainers, and many more training programs. All these extras were also reflected in the value.
Santiago subscribed to a personalized training program and hand-to-hand combat and includes massage services, swimming pool and sauna, it was an improved program with reference to the one provided by the previous gym.
However, the price was also different. In the previous gym he paid $2,500 a month and now he would pay $5,000 a month, plus he would pay $3,000 a month for rent for the new apartment.
And with the improvement in his quality of life at the moment, he would spend approximately 9,000 dollars a month, which is not depreciable at all, although Santiago had earned 300,000 dollars, he had to find how to earn more money or in a couple of years he would be bankrupt.
Fortunately, the Luchadores series would start in a week and then he would go to the university to talk to Abigail and help her with the agent thing. He had planned to wait until next year. It was already the first week of December, the following week he would premiere the series, so the idea was to wait until the end of January when 6 or 7 episodes of Luchadores were broadcast.
By that date the audience and popularity of the series would already be known and he would also have an opinion of his own performance, since he has several appearances in the first chapters.
With all this planned, Santiago was on vacation in quotes, since he would not work in these almost 2 months, so he dedicated himself to training in the gym and practicing his acting repeating dialogues and actions from actors and movies that he liked.
He followed his plan to the letter and then "Luchadores" began. Everyone was nervous, not just the producers and the director, but all the actors and staff involved in the project.
Everyone knows that, if there is a good reception in this series, another season would be defined and that was an additional job and gaining recognition, the series have that charm of becoming phenomena and that was what they were looking for with this one.
Santiago did not have so many thoughts about the future. For him he wanted success, because he could get an agent, new jobs and advance in the industry.
