In a certain bookstore, around 9.45 in the morning.

“Airing….Action!”

“Good morning New Yorkers! We are at the Red Read bookstore, one of the largest and oldest bookstores to be established in the middle of the city. For all the listerned wondering what this hype is about…

Let me share! The line behind me, with almost a hundred people outside the store, is basically to buy Will Evan’s newest work of tale, [The Hobbit]! And the bookstore was supposed to open at 10 this morning, and due to all the chaos, the owner, Freddie, even arrived early. You’d have guessed what sort of an environment I’m in.”

It was not just one reporter, but there were around five to seven reporters covering ‘just’ that bookstore.

“…Ever since the first release was out, it had been reported how good the reviews for the book came out, even from well-known authors.

hey there–”

“Jason,” One of the readers who were in the queue answered when the microphone was shared to him.

“Jason, how long have you been here?” The female reporter asked with a wide smile.

“Almost thirty minutes. No big deal, can’t wait to read the new book by Will!”

“Why do you like Will Evans so much?” The microphone was shoved in front of the other person’s face.

“To be frankly honest with you, his achievements as an author are not something to be taken for granted.

“I have become a fan of his books since the last book of his first series, [Harry Potter and Prisoner of Azkaban]. The book has expanded the whole Harry Potter universe to take it beyond just Hogwarts, not to mention the ever growing fanbase. So many bibliophiles are coming out of their caves, and as one of them, how can I skip this hype train?” he chuckled at the camera.

“Haha… Thank you. Just like you witnessed, each of these readers who are now in the line awaiting their turn to buy the newest work of fiction by Will Evans at Red Read Bookstore, are excited and thrilled for Will Evans’ new series!

“Bringing you news, live from New York, RTV, I’m Savannah.”

While the book release was ongoing, Will Evans was having an important discussion in the main conference room with many important personnel of Dream Vision.

Amanda was heading the meeting skillfully, while everyone else including people who handled Dream Vision at different levels were present on board.

“First, if we focus on the collections of [Catch Me If You Can] and [Spiderman], the numbers are enough to show our success.” Amanda said, while pointing at the presentation projected on a while board.

“These are the statistics for the movies ever since its release and we have divided them into the span of weeks and months separately. The next slide-” She said and moved on to the next. “-shows the progress of [Ultimate Spiderman].]

More than half of the people present at the meeting nodded their heads, while some had noticeable smiles plastered on their faces seeing the success they had achieved during the last few months.

“…Likewise, it is clearly visible how positive the statistics are for now. The merchandise and comics are also generating its potential income, and here it is… With that being said, I believe we covered the necessary income and collection statistics for the day. With our next projects, we’ll be going one level above.

Of course, all of them will be written by Will Evans,” Amanda concluded her little presentation.

Hearing the words come out of her, everyone was excited.

While the others whispered and discussed the possible next projects, Will stood up and walked up to the podium, while Amanda gave him a nod and returned to her seat.

“Hello everyone.” Will stood straight. “As Amanda showed, the reports are going great. But we can’t celebrate for long. And what I’m here to do is to talk about the future projects that I’ve in mind. To start it off with, we will have a new movie project… [The Devil Wears Prada]…” He went on explaining the plot and talked a little about the budget he had in mind.

“…With Alan heading the production, [Harry Potter] movie series will begin its pre-production.”

Alan was Will’s ex assistant and also the director of [Catch Me If You Can].

“That’s a great idea. Do we have a time table planned for these?” A member who sat in the corner of the conference table asked.

“I’ll get there shortly. And I also have two new projects in mind. They are originals. This is the first movie I have in mind.” Will said and changed the slides of the presentation, which revealed the movie name.

“[Men In Black]?” A lady who sat with her arms crossed questioned looking at the name.

“Yes. It will be a science fiction action comedy franchise. The script is not yet fully ready…however, this movie will be comparatively strange and unique than anything else that the audience have seen. The major idea of the movie will be about loss, xenophobia, and finding one’s place in an ever-expanding universe. And yes, Xenophobia is the dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries.” Will said and some people took notes of his plans with Dream Vision.

“The next project would be…” Will turned to the next slide. “[Pirates Of Caribbean]. This will be our third next franchise after [Harry Potter] and [Man In Black]. And since it is going to be big, also because I want to, I’ll be directing this movie myself. If you’re trying to get a small grasp about what this movie holds, let me tell you that this is going to be a fantasy swashbuckler film series.”

“Swashbuckler…. Interesting.”

“I like it more.”

“Did he say he would direct that?”

Different unknown whispers spread through the room as Will went silent after these words. He looked at people and noticed how excited they were about the upcoming Dream Vision projects.

Even Amanda and Jeffrey were discussing something about the movie in the presentation.

Nevertheless, after a few seconds, Will spoke again.

“And, last but not least, [Sherlock Holmes 2] will straightaway get into pre-production. Now, are there any more questions? Oh wait, about the time periods, I don’t think we should rush any of our releases but take time as much as possible to execute the idea to the epitome. But, if by any chance something unfortunate comes up, we’ll have to act accordingly.”

Will had also bought the [Matrix] series from the System, but he was putting that for later. Even the next Spider Man series and Marvel plans were not discussed in this meeting, because he wanted to hold a separate meeting for that.

Now that he had finished talking about the upcoming movies, he glanced at the CEO of Pixar Studios while addressing everyone once again.

“[The Lion King] would be the first animated movie.” Will said, “For this, we will hold auditions for the voice actors.]

After a brief pause, he added, “And now, we need to discuss [Ultimate Spiderman] and [Friends]’ the second season.”

At the mention of [Friends] almost many of them looked confused.

“Will, I think [Ultimate Spiderman 2] is already in discussion and in good hands. But what are we going to do about [Friends]? We have to take immediate action with what happened, also we need to begin the production pretty soon as well.”

It was Susan who had asked this. She was the producer for the [Friends] series and was in the meeting from the beginning, albeit sitting quietly while waiting for the current subject to come up.

Will nodded at her, “You’re right, but don’t worry about it, the auditions will begin soon and even I will take part in auditioning prospective actors for the role.”

His words surprised Susan but she nodded and decided to discuss her doubts once the auditions began.

After nodding at her, Will turned his head towards the screen and as the slides changed, he added, “Now, we will have the final agenda of our meeting.”

On the screen, two lines appeared:

[Netflix]

[A Dream Vision Initiative]
