Foxstar was always an obstacle for Dream Vision ever since Spencer Miller went into retirement. Since Will knew Colt’s personality very well, he had a feeling that a clash against Foxstar was inevitable. It was mainly because of how Colt Miller had his way with his work.
If Will had to pinpoint the worst person to deal with while doing business, it would be Colt Miller. His micromanaging personality didn’t make it any better, in fact it made things even worse.
Will, who had his own ways of dealing with such people, would obviously not just listen to anything coming from him and his controlling nature. He knew how Colt was overbearing because of the thought he had, which was how he had more influence than Dream Vision. To make it worse, he thought that due to his influential personality in the public, that Dream Vision needed him more than anything.
The truth behind the fact was correct but only to an extent. Colt Miller’s reputation and the Foxstar Studio basically uplifted the Studio value of Dream Vision. Nevertheless, the fact that ‘Dream Vision NEEDS Colt Miller’ was not completely true.
But currently, under all the circumstances, Will didn’t want to get into a clash with Colt. Also, Will knew that with time, he would have everything under his control.

“Are you going to let them get away with it completely?” Jeffery questioned Will.
Currently, they are having a pizza inside Will’s office. The lunch break had the perfect taste of the need to eat Pizza for everyone including Will, Jeffrey and Amanda. Although it was Jeffrey’s idea at first, both Will and Amanda agreed to it.
The discussion which was ongoing, related to Foxstar and Colt Miller.
Will suddenly shook his head as a reaction to Jeffrey’s question. He then replied, “I’ll let Amanda handle it.’”
Will frowned and continued what he wanted to say, “She’s an expert when it comes to negotiating. Although Colt would persist on whatever she offers, he would eventually give in as they keep going back and forth about the editing. To be honest…” Will said and took a sip from the cool drink in front of him. “I’m getting sick of it.”
“Yeah, you hate it but you are basically not in a position to go after Colt,” Jeffrey said which Will nodded in agreement.
“Well, leave it to me. Colt is someone who is extremely stern on whatever he wishes to do, but not if we are stern on what we need. His main goal is to have control, but if he sees he can’t have it anymore, he can’t do much but backoff. And that would exactly be what I’d use against him,” Amanda said with a shrug when both Will and Jeffrey had smiles plastered on their faces.
The days were busy for Dream Vision. They had movies releasing one after another. Due to all of it, Will was too occupied with [Spiderman] editing and VFX department, because they had to create a good enough teaser for the Super Bowl.
Although the editing process would take longer, Will had to hurry them up considering how the event would not change its date according to others. Due to that, Will couldn’t do anything but quicken the process to get a good trailer.
Moreover, [Hitch] was already completed. Both editing and with the teaser. And since it was interfering directly would push its release date to the back end.
“Relax guys, I get all of it. But Colt is someone who wouldn’t drop his attitude. From what I think, he needs to get thrown out to the ground by Hollywood to give up his arrogance. And it’s mainly because the dude had an easy start,”
Amanda nodded at Jeffrey’s statement. Although she herself had hopes to crush Colt’s reputation, it would not be that easy. What they could do currently was to just endure it and try to keep the man in control.
Due to the conversation shifting to something bitter, Amanda changed the subject.
“I think I like the Pizza with extra cheese more than the other one,” She said, taking both Will and Jeffrey by surprise.
“Yeah, me too,” Jeffrey noticed what she was trying to do and tagged along.

Three guys were walking down the street to spend the ‘Friday night’ at one of their houses. It had become a tradition for them to celebrate every weekend. The celebration was for surviving the week. As office workers, they had to survive with the brutal taunts of their boss in the office.
“No man! I think we can go for [Catch Me If You Can] this Saturday!”
“What! No shit Sherlock! I saw the trailer as soon as it was released! It was so bad. If anything I’d kill myself before watching it.”
“Well, I’d beg to differ. The trailer was hilarious. And seriously! What you expect might not be the outcome! It’s about a conman anyway, I think we should watch. Vote day!”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
“No.” The three of them voted.
“It’s settled.”
“Aw man, I hope you see it from my eyes. Did you even see-”
“We hope you see it from our eyes.” Both the other friends said together making the guy roll his eyes in annoyance.
“Catch me if you can!!” One guy shouted and ran down the street to get to the house first.

The other two jogged after him.

“No wayyyy! There’s no way in hell I’m gonna watch it! It’s frigegging HORROR!” One girl said with pure despair in her eyes.
The conversation between the four girls was simple. A movie to go and watch on the weekend. They did this more than one hundred times, yet still they struggled to find the perfect movie or something close to perfection. Since they had known each other forever, the real deal was finding something all the three of them could enjoy.
“Urgh, you and your horror relationship. It’s a full hate-on one and as far as I’m aware hate can turn to love,” the other girl with green eyes said with a sly smirk.
“Stop romanticising her fear. How about [Sea before Flea]?” The girl who sat across from both of them asked. Since she was wearing braces, her pronunciation was kind of weird compared to a normal American accent.
“That title sounds horrible. If anything I’d watch the same movie we watched last time rather than watching a movie with such a title. Wasn’t that from some big director?” The girl who had the horror-peve questioned.
“Yeah don’t let me begin with the dude. He’s the worst at naming things. Oh, [Magnificently Blue] releasing tomorrow, how about that?” The girl with green eyes questioned looking at the screen which had names of movies, the genres and the releasing date.
“Really?! Let’s check the trailer?” The other girl talked through her braces.
The trailer started off with an unexpected glimpse of a train journey. It was about a girl who goes far away from her home town in search of the purpose of her life. The teaser looked pretty decent and all the three of them had smiles on their faces when the girl finally met the guy who turned her world upside down. But they all closed the tab as soon as they saw both of them dying.
“What a bad spoiler it was? Just no!” One of them said and checked the other movies.
“Oh my God! Look at this! It’s the [White Man]! The movie with the guy having the ability to talk with animals!” The person who sat to the left said excitedly.
“Yessss!” “Oh yeah!” Both the other girls chimed excitedly at the movie trailer.
“What! Noooo!” The girl with green eyes fell back onto the bed seeing the saddest news ever. Tickets were all sold during the weekend. They had just one theatre around where they lived and if it isn’t there, it means they’d have to drive miles to find another movie hall, which they did not enjoy.
During the weekend, they just wanted the experience of going to the nearest theatre, enjoying a good movie, coming home and then resting while enjoying a lazy evening.
“…. guys! See this,” the girl who did not lose hope said looking at the screen with pleading eyes. “[Catch Me If You Can]. I think we should just try this. It’ll be released by the weekend and there are 10 more tickets. Just TEN!”
“What? Can we watch the teaser first?”
The three of them watched the trailer with their mouths open. They were surprised by how Leo acted. The way things flowed smoothly and they even laughed at scenes where it was shown how Frank conned different people.
“Yessss!”
“No more questions or thoughts. This is it!”
The three of them pressed the ‘enter’ button to the reservation of the tickets in sync.
Weekend target achieved. Not just any movie–they found something they all agreed to.
***
In a small studio firm. The discussion was among the scriptwriter, cinematographer, sound manager and a crew worker.
“Leo’s acting was bad in it. The trailer made me think how bad the movie would be. Ah! I just don’t have the need to watch it!” The scriptwriter said with a frown in his face.
“What you do is write those characters, scenes and everything and to be honest, I think his acting was so natural!”
“I can agree with that one. The teaser had a scene where Leo acts like the professor in his school! That really caught me off guard, I think I’ll watch it with my wife.”
The four of them discussed newly released trailers.
“The acting just doesn’t add up. I don’t think it did. Not like we watched the full movie anyway, the trailer gave me a feeling that it is going to hit high and above considering how good it was.”
“Okay okay okay! How about this guys, let’s watch it once it’s released? I can get us tickets. Just tell who’d come with you, I’ll get enough tickets?”
“Still not satisfied, but okay. I’m in. Get two for me, I might as well bring my girlfriend to kill the boredom,”
“Just one for me. I don’t wanna tag along with anyone. The movie looked really interesting to me. The character is something I look forward to watching. A conman—damn, can’t wait!”
“Okay, Sunday at 7. The local theatre.”
