21 Your Actual Investor (2/2)

George pauses for a moment. ”In any case, you are not the one who has the most to lose in this.”

You understand his word very clearly.

It is not George Lucas that has invested in your movie. It is your mother. As she doesn't have 10 milions dollar on hand, she must have put up the house up as collateral. Maybe her company as well.

It is a very high stake. Your mother will lose everything if your movie failed.

You know that you cannot fail.

With that in mind, you left his manor and returning home. You ponder if you should confront your mother about this.

As you head home, several powerful figures are talking about your screenplay in a large office. They are ones who has absolute controls of Warner Bros.

”I think this script has certain operability.”

The one who had spoken this was Jim Robinson. He is someone you had talk to before. He had given you the time when you approached him. He is interested in your screenplay. He was even willing to buy it off you for a thousand bucks.

Unfortunately, your strong desire to direct it yourself has cause the deal to fall through.

”If you focus on the actions and the passengers' fear, it will be a very thrilling movie. Not to mention profitable.”

”Jim.” Barry Meyer raises his hand to stop Jim from talking further.

He then looks at the man next to him. ”What about you? What do you think about the script?”

The man thought seriously with his palm rests on his chin. ”Let's look at it like this. He has been abandoned by the CAA. You know what that mean. Besides, it is never wise to spend a millions of dollar in a screenplay from a person without any experience or qualification.”

Having said that, the man specifically emphasized. ”Also, do not forget. He also ask for the position of the director! Such audaucity! Who does he thinks he is? For someone like that, I wouldn't give it a second thought.”

The remark is directed at Jim Robinson. Jim didn't have anything to say as the head of the company has already made their decision. Arguing over this matter will only put him at a disadvantage.

”I see.” CEO Barry considers it for a few minutes. The screenplay has only brought to his attention thanked to Jim Robinson, the head of editorial department. However, other than it being cheaper to produce, it doesn't have anything that stands out amongst the countless scripts being handed in every day.

Whlie he wants to dimiss it completely, he has to consider Jim in mind as well.

”Buy the copyright for a couple of hundreds and put this script in the archive. In a few years time, we can produce it cheaply ourselfves.”
