Amanda was in Will’s office. It was around 2 pm in the afternoon and Will and Amanda were in a deep discussion regarding the ongoing Dream Vision projects.
The shooting of [Spiderman] had just come to an end. And the rest of the work of [Spiderman] was left for the CGI department.
The editing process would happen throughout the month of January. And according to the estimation, the movie will most likely be released in March.
Will decided to take it slowly, because [Catch Me If You Can] and [Hitch] were supposed to be released at the same time.

Moreover, he wanted the CGI process to happen slowly so that they could focus on every minor detail. Will was aware how things had gone wrong in some movies in his real world just because CGI was not focused on every minor detail. There were so many cases where fans found the differences of editing, easily. Even if it was one hundred percent unavoidable, Will wanted to take things slow and careful with [Spiderman].
Another reason was Will wanted to have enough time to do the promotion of the movie. The main reason behind it was how this movie was the first one that would market a lot overseas.
Previously, the marketing was all focused on the UK and USA, and then the rest of the screening was increased depending on the reception. But this time, Will aimed to make [Spiderman] a movie that every corner in the world talked about.
Will knew how a superhero like Spiderman would be loved by the entire world if the character and the story reached them. Therefore, he decided to take the opportunity of expanding the horizons of the promotions regarding the movie.
“And, how are the things with dubbing [Ultimate Spiderman] in other languages going on?” Will questioned.
The meeting started off with conversing the statistics of the current businesses, profits and everything else.
Then, they moved on to talking about the progress of the current projects.
“Yes, Toon Network is currently focused on that matter. Languages like Spanish, Hindi and French. And, they also mentioned that they would be releasing it on their channels and the regions.” Amanda said and inhaled softly. “But as the goal is to release it in other countries as well, Toon Network is not available in many. So, the arrangements to make deals with other TV stations are going on,” Amanda said.
Will nodded knowing that the ratings for the show was already over 7 in the US. And for their advantage, it got very popular among kids. Due to that, it would not be hard unless the TV stations look for too many big profits.
“And it won’t be too hard, unless they aim higher than they could, it’s a possibility considering everyone knows the status of Dream Vision, so their goal would be to make more profits. And, we should be smarter than that,” Amanda said.
Although Amanda didn’t explain the core message, Will understood what she meant.
Will nodded in agreement. His facial expressions explained how satisfied he was with what Amanda said.
“Great. That is a great idea actually. Then, next year both [Ultimate Spider-Man] and [Friends] would get their second season and Dream Pixar can invest in more animations. It would all go smoothly like this, considering how much people are impressed with the outcomes,” Will said, earning a nod from Amanda.
“Yeah, Will. Currently, we are on the right track, as all our projects which are either movies or series have been very successful, especially because we have not stuck to niches.” Amanda mentioned.
Considering what Will contributed to the industry from day 1, a lot of people assumed that Will was going to be stuck to a single genre after [The Blair Witch Project], which was basically horror.
But then, much to everyone’s surprise, he had constantly changed the genres from Horror, with his other movies, [Sherlock Holmes] and [Liberty City].
The more it concerned someone, the more the difference could easily be sorted out. The Dream Vision projects that he hadn’t directed were his ideas, his script and his writing. Comparingly, the difference from each movie to another was vastly different.
The differences were in the genre, plot, characters, ideas and basically from the very scratch, each one of them were unique.
This was mainly because of the system that he was blessed with, and that was something Amanda was not aware of.
With how the conversation was flowing, Will noticed that Amanda looked a bit worried. Her facial expressions were not the usual, and even her face was noticeably pale.
“Are you okay? You don’t look good, is it because of the overload of work?” Will questioned as soon as he noticed it.
Amanda, who was partially surprised by the question, shook her head. She knew she was worried inside her mind too, but she didn’t expect someone to notice it as Will just did.
“I’m kind of worried about something. And it’s probably nothing much.” Amanda said, trying to cease her worries away.

“Yeah, but you don’t look like it’s not nothing much, what is it?” Will questioned.
“Honestly, the company is doing too good and it worries me,” Amanda said.
The words confused Will but on the inside, he knew what she meant.
“That’s a weird thing to worry about, Amanda,” Will said, earning an awkward chuckle from her.
Both of her eyebrows raised in a second and she calmed her state of the body back.
“Well you know, normally writers and directors take years to create a single project. No offence to you, but the way they create things have their own history. But with you, you’re creating a lot of them in such a short time. And not to mention, the quality of each of them is great to the extent where I’m worried you’d be exhausted sooner or later. Like-” Amanda took a small break before trying to complete what she thought.
“Like?” Will gave a slight push for her to continue the statement.
Will was completely aware of what Amanda was trying to explain. Yet, he wanted to hear the words from her. It looked as if these things were going on in her mind for quite a while, and Will wanted to give her a moment to release the worries.
In fact, he knew at times like these, people utter the utmost truth that they keep hiding inside them.
Hesitant was clear in her voice with the words, “like the time when you were stabbed. Things basically halted for some weeks. And, the company depends on you a lot. And you know, if we take a fall which means… Like a failed project, the vultures who are waiting for an opportunity to eat Dream Vision up would not even hesitate to waste any second.”
Every single person who was even slightly interested in Dream Vision was aware how the company was so cordial with most big 6 studios, mainly because how they provide them a lot of investments but also knew that the true relationship with Foxstar and OP Studios was of a rival.
The relationship status within the studios did not get revealed in a matter of days, but ever since they got into deals, it became obvious for third party people.
“Yeah, I’m aware of all of it well and that’s why I have no intention in failing any of my ideas,” Will said confidently.
The confidence came from nothing but the system. The trust and faith he had on the system surpasses every challenge he would face in this world, that was what Will implied.
And as for the statement of Dream Vision relying on Will too much with the company, he also had other plans.
Ever since the start of the company, Will had no intentions of being a one man institution and was self aware of the matter that he could not handle everything.
Nevertheless, he knew that whatever he could handle, he would be able to successfully complete the tasks, but he knew he could only do so much when it comes to the company.
When given thoughts about the current situation, Amanda was there for business, but even she had it hard.
At the same time, Will knew what Amanda said was true. The only matter was, he realised it way too early before Amanda said.
So Will had plans to invest in new talents and find people like James Cameron, who were very popular directors and screenwriters that could possibly exist in this world, just like how James in his previous world did.
And if thought logically, since he already found actors who existed in his previous world, directors, screenwriters, producers and many more important people from his previous life could be here too. It was a matter of time for him to find them.
Will had plans to make the marvel projects in a separate studio. He wanted to create a new studio just for Marvel considering how in the next few years there would be a lot of them.
One of the main reasons behind giving [Hitch] to Carson Duckstein and [Catch Me If You Can] to Alan was to groom talents. Talents that even Will would find hard to see, and he knew that sometimes things from a different perspective can be better from one’s own.
After saying that he was confident in his own work which would not fail, he turned to look outside from the window.
“How are your kids?” Will questioned wanting to change the subject to something else.
“They’re doing great. The only reason I go home these days is to see their happy smiles,” Amanda said with a smile which reached her eyes.
“Christmas is coming up, and I think you should get a break to enjoy time with them. I’m sure they miss being around you,” Will replied as the meeting came to an end.
