12 Understanding Your Ability (2/2)
One, like any aspiring and independent director, you can go to an influential producer or a brokerage company, such as the CAA. There, you can sell your ideas. If the idea is good enough, the investor will recommend the project to a production company. Once it passes a more rigorous reviews and makes necessary adjustments for investments, the film production will be on its way.
Or –
You could go directly to the relevant departments of a film production company and deliver the script, and through the screening and evaluation of the film company, your screenplay will be accepted or rejected. This is the most simple and direct way.
Although you knew several producers, they did not know you in person. They might have heard about you from your mother, but that didn't amount to anything. There is one person you could count on – George Lucas. He is a friend of your mother, but then again, he isn't your friend.
Weighting the pros and cons, you decide to try the second option first – right after lunch.
There is a restaurant nearby, so you head there. A cute waitress comes and takes your order after you found a sit and have a look at the menu.
”I will just have whatever on special today,” you give the order after finding nothing stand out on the menu.
”Okay… ” she replies unsurely and attends the adjacent table. You watch her go before narrowing your eyes, having a good look at her attributes and skillsets. The cute uniform she has on slowly faded away. Her shapely figure fills your vision.
You have gotten so use to the vision that you could turn it on and off at will.
As for your new ability to boost anyone's skill, you have practice it exactly one time. You believe that you should practice it more – but you didn't want to turn everyone into a horny mess.
”Say, System. How long do I have left to live?”

Since you didn't have a calculator, you use a napkin and pen to calculate. It took a while as your math skills isn't good.
”What's that? 62 years?” the girl ask when she brought your food. Where she is standing, her private part is right in your face.
”That's how long I will live,” you respond. ”62 years and 3 months.”
You realize that you spend about 4 hours of your life to boost your mother's immersion skill from D to S+ rank. It is about 15 minutes durations – just enough time for her to read your screenplay.
She laughs. ”Are you some sort of fortune teller?”
”You could say that. Want me to tell you your fortune?” You ask.
She humors you and shows you her palm. You take hold of her palm and let your lifeforce seeps into her body. You improve her Communication Skill as you found she lacks in that area. You only increase it to B-Rank from her original D-Rank. You have it temporary boosted for 10 minutes.
There a faint gasp coming out of her lips.
You panic a little and slowed the transfer, and the expression on her face returns to normal. From that alone, you realize the rate of transfer affects the person' mental state.
”I think you will feel you are a lot more confidence with your job now,” you tell her before digging into your special lunch – an omelet with bacons.
She shrugs and continues her work. Within 5 minutes, you could see great improvement in her skills at taking orders and relaying orders. She becomes so adept that even her boss found it bizarre.
However, the effect disappears after 10 minutes. She becomes clumsy immediately afterwards.
”What did you do?” she asks you when you pay for the food.
You realize this could be a problem, as your powers will undoubtedly brings unwanted attention to yourself. ”I just give a pretty lady a bit of confidence.”
She giggles. She is incredibly cute when she does.
”If you want another dose of confidence, come with me.”
