Chapter 162: [Bonus Chapter] |
After the launch of [Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets], Will’s popularity just kept on increasing. The sales of the book were already crossing milestones that no one other children’s books have touched, and even the sales of the first book, [Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone], which had stagnated over time, had started showing signs of growing.
Will, who had just woken up and came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, was fixing his hair backward while standing in front of the mirror, as his phone rang.
[ Incoming call-
Terry Warden]
It was a call from Terry, from the Warden publishing house. Will, who was still just in his towel that was tied around his waist with nothing else covering his body, picked up the call with his slightly wet hands.
“Hey, Terry! How’s it going?”
Will asked, although he already had a good idea as to how Terry was.
As expected, a cheerful Terry replied from the other end.
– How else can I be? I am doing great, thanks to you. How are you?
“I am fine too. Just came out from the bath and was about to go and prepare myself for work.”
Will replied as he held his phone between his shoulder and ears. He started arranging the bedsheets and the pillows as he talked. Since June was mostly absent these days due to her own movies and ads in various parts of America, Will was comfortably enjoying the solo life in his house in Beverly Hills.
‘I should really buy a house here now.’
Will thought as he remembered how he was still living on rent in such a high-class area. If people found out that Will was living on rent after making billion-dollar movies, then the stigma of a miser would be hard to wash away.
– Oh? Is this an inappropriate time to talk with you? I will call you later if you are not free right now.
Terry proposed after he heard that Will was getting ready for work.
“Nah, don’t worry about it. Say, what did you call for?”
Will waved it off as he got to the point.
Apart from this, there were tons of jokes that were actually very impromptu and just happened with the flow of the story.
Heck, the actor who played Ross had directed quite a few episodes himself.
For all these reasons, Will wanted the cast to be as original as it possibly could get.
If Will ended up finding even one or two of the original cast, the other roles could then be auditioned for.
***
Jixar Animation Studios, Headoffice.
Currently, Will and Amanda were sitting inside the office of the chairman and CEO of the company, Jerry Leopard. Dream Vision had already bought the majority of Jixar’s share and the other half was with this man. He still hadn’t sold his shares yet and neither did Will want him to sell them, as he was necessary for the studio, and a lot of equipment was designed by him.
From what Will had dug about Jerry, Will already could guess that Jerry was quite a talent in his field.
“You see, the company is doing quite well currently and I would like to invest more in my current movie that I have planned instead of yours. You can give it a go and check it yourself.”
Jerry said, a bit of arrogance seeping out of his words. Will just smiled at it. Although he was talented, Jerry was still young, and couldn’t control his pride after his successful entrance into the market. It was normal, but not something Will would like to handle.
After watching the short clip that was the start of the movie and hearing the storyline from Jerry, Will shook his head.
“The story is average and the screenplay is even worse. The only thing good about it is the animation, but you would need a good story to back up the good animation. I have better plans, both for myself and you. Don’t forget, I have bought 52% of the company and am now technically the chairman. You just have 30% shares in your hand while the other 18% will be bought by me sooner or later.”
Will said, being as blunt as possible. He continued.
“Since Jixar is going to be a part of Dream Vision, I wouldn’t want it to fail. I am going to invest more in the studio and hire better screenplay writers. As for animation movies, we will eventually do them too as I have a lot of plans for those. But currently, the priority is the Spiderman Animated Series for Marvel. I have already talked to Toon Network, and they have agreed to air it on their television as long as they like the initial presentation. Which they most probably would.”
Toon Network was a famous kids’ TV channel that aired all sorts of cartoons and anime.
“Start the Spiderman series and invest yourself into it. I’ll hire the necessary amount of writers or any other kind of staff that you need.”
