25 Delight Entertainmen (2/2)

”How about Delight Entertainment?”

Howard nods and writes down the name along with your contact information. You talk to him about registering your company and trademarks until the meeting is over.

It is late in the afternoon.

When George accompanies you outside, he talks to you a bit more.

”Have you had any thought about your film crew?”

George isn't referring to the production team or the filming team. They are provided by Lucasfilm. He is talking about the experts in various field that required for your film. As Speed is an action film with explosion, you would need an explosion expert. If you want a custom theme song, you would need a composer.

These are people you must negotiate on your own. George could help in this regard, but you will have to do it yourself if you ever want to produce your own movie one day.

”Yes. I have, uncle George. I will gather them up as soon as possible.”

George simply nods. ”See that you do. Once the casting and preparation is done, the filming will begin. These are the easy part.”

You agree with him wholeheartedly. Marketing and distribution sound easy for those outsiders, but it is extremely complicated and difficult, especially for someone like you, who has little to no connection.

Without George Lucas and his company, Lucasfilm supporting you, your filmmaking career will hit a roadblock. This the reason why major companies like 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros can make or break a director.

You talk to George Lucas more about your responsibilities before he bids you farewell. Unlike you, he has a lot of work and coordination to do.

Since George is investing 5 million in your movie plus 10 million for its marketing and distribution, he is treating this like a serious business.

You are thankful that he did.

You head to your car while thinking about who you should go fetch first. You would like the people on your team to be around your age. If they too much your senior, they will treat you like a kid. You also like to continue working with them after your first film becomes a box office success.

They could help you build your company and share in the glory.

You decide to fetch Mark from Ocean Way Recording. You have work with him recently, and he seems to have a very good ears for music.

Once you are in your car and left Lucasfilm. Your mobile phone starts to ring. You check who is calling and almost let out a snort.

You decide to pick up the phone in the end.

”Hello. What can I do for you Mr. Robinson?”
