It had been quite some time since the [Spiderman] movie’s and by now, the box office numbers had become something to gawk at.
One Billion dollars were just for Will, and it still possessed enough potential to grow more.
From the way things were going, Will had expected for the theatres to run the movie for more than fifty weeks. And that is almost a year.
With the overwhelming success of [Spiderman], Dream Vision successfully made themselves known as the studio to hit blockbusters in the Box Office one after another.
And this accomplishment was rare. Although two-three box office hits get released once a month, a studio being capable enough to release supernovas in a row were far and few in between and apparently exclusive to Dream Vision.
Two men were walking down the corridor of Dream Vision building, and while discussing something to each other.
Since these two men were none other than Will and Robert, many eyes were silently prying at them while their steps became closer to the elevator.

“…Since how long have you been planning them?” Robert asked, looking at Will in his eyes.
Robert had gotten to know about the things that were ongoing with Dream Vision. The future projects, the controversy with the ICM and everything else, he was clearly aware.
“I don’t do things on a whim. Also, you were asking about the director on the fourth floor, why was it about?” Will asked out of curiosity.
Currently, Robert was going downstairs for a meeting with a director.
“Ah! The thing is, I have been interested in doing a project with the director after [Sherlock Holmes 2]. He is a very talented director, isn’t he?” Robert asked as they both got into the elevator.
“Yeah, talented indeed.” Will said with a smile.
He was going to the office of Pixar considering how he had a meeting scheduled to talk with Jerry Leopard about [Lion King].
Jerry Leopard was a stockholder of the company, and also known to be a genius due to how he basically was the backbone behind the [Ultimate Spiderman].
And since the latter had taken the initiative in [Ultimate Spiderman] which succeeded with no remorse, Will wanted him to take over this project too.
“By the way, are we going to work on [Iron man] right after [Sherlock Holmes 2]?” Robert asked after a few seconds of silence.
Will had talked about it with Robert while they were working on the post credit scene. And the question had rang in Robert’s mind ever since then.
“I was thinking of getting [Pirates of the Caribbean]’s first movie out. Why do you ask?” Will asked back.
“Oh, I have been thinking about this new franchise you announced. I think I want to try out the role for it,”
Will shook his head immediately.
“Is that a ‘no’ then?” Robert asked, a slight smile dancing in his lips in humour.
“It is. I can arrange a small role but not the lead. I don’t have anyone in mind if that’s what you’re thinking about, it’s just… Let me put it in this way. You’re already doing [Sherlock Holmes] and we have [Iron Man] in line. So I don’t think the schedule will be in your favour.” Will explained.
Will also knew that getting him to become the lead of three big franchises wouldn’t do any good other than for his personal career.
The dates being jam packed was one of the main reasons too.
“Oh alright.” Robert took a short pause before continuing, “I might probably take a month off after [Sherlock Holmes 2], with Susan at that. I’m pretty sure she’s going to be busy with [Friends]’ shooting, but a break might do both of us a lot of good.
“Will, you should go on one too. Imagine having hundreds of million dollars but not using them” Robert said with a shrug.
“Haha… As if. The part about the money, let me tell you something. But before that, I don’t really think it’s time to go for a vacation considering I just took a break while recovering.” Will joked.
“Hm, so you are just gonna work, work and work?”
“Well, not really. I have plans to buy a mansion soon.” Will said with a smile curling up in his lips.
In his mind, the mansion would be neatly and beautifully carved. The structure he had imagined was the one that Iron Man had in the third movie.
The same mansion which Tony Stark had, which was located on the sea-side cliff along the coast of Malibu.
Even thinking about his dream mansion, made Will’s mind wander to Stark’s interior design. It was a modern minimalistic and high-tech design, and Will knew he had more than enough money to build himself the same sort of emperor.
The only thing was, the building was not possible in his previous world and he had yet to check if something like it was allowed in this world.
“Well, you already have one from what I remember. But seeing that smile on your face, I wonder if this is a long term dream?” Robert asked as they both got off from the elevator.
“Yeah, it is.”
“That’s interesting. But you should do something more fun. Will Evans, the director who makes movies and stays in bed,” Robert chuckled at his own words which Will followed.
“Does hanging out with my girlfriend and going on a date sound fun to you?”
“Only if it contains fun activities-”
“Fun activities like her newest project, yeah.” Will muttered and walked away while Robert waved from the behind.

Even at the thought of having some time to himself and June, a smile appeared on his face. Shaking his head at the thought, he made his way towards the office.
Will was somewhat excited to know more about June’s project and wanted to see how their shoot was going on.

“… And as I was saying, I’ll explain what the entire movie is going to be about. Once we are done and settled with the script and everything, it will all be crystal clear. Till then, this explanation is to just get an idea about it as a whole. So, the Lion King, the entire thing, is about a young lion named Simba, who is the crown prince of an African Savanna.
When his father dies in an accident staged by his uncle, Simba is made to feel responsible for his father’s death and is shown how he overcomes his fear of taking responsibility as the rightful heir to the throne. And throughout the story, his bravery, how he takes responsibilities and everything else which comes with power is shown.
The core message of the movie basically is about the blinding effects of power and also about those who will do anything to be in control. Since this is mainly focused on kids, the adults would have an interest to see what this is about. With that, they’d see this movie is also about how life is not always fair and does always go as planned, but some things are just beyond the control of one individual.” Will explained while the team including Jerry in front listened to the entire theme of the movie.
“And again what I wanted to say is that, this is going to be a cinematic release.”
Animation studio movies were basically in the 90s in this world. Although there ‘were’ studios that did animations and gave the experience slightly for what they had established, not even a single hit released from such a studio.
Will who knew about this thought how much of a shame and an opportunity for him.
Not having any sort of animated movie hit, and how even animes were not released a lot in the US, making them to never become pop culture events—It was obvious that Will’s takeover in these sides of the industries could make revolutionary changes.
“It won’t be hard.” Jerry, who kept listening to Will’s words replied. “It won’t be hard to do. But it’s basically a musical, so you’d need to invest a lot in it and you’d have to give me the time to create a few character arts with my team.” he said.
Will nodded.
The rest of the meeting went with them discussing it a bit more, and Will answering the questions of their teammates which included how Will imagined the characters to their character traits.
At the end of the meeting, everyone except Jerry walked out of the room.
Will raised his eyebrow seeing Jerry approach him.
“Uh, Will. Can I ask you something?” Jerry questioned.
“Sure, and please have a seat,” Will said while motioning at the seat in front of him. Jerry nodded and while taking the seat he looked Will in the eyes.
“Does this mean that you’d let me work on my project now?” He asked.
Will nodded at the question. “Yes, of course. As I promised, you can. And I’m quite content with your work so far. Also, I read the script long ago, and I think I can make it way better. No offences, yours is good, but there are some things that if changed could have done so much better,” he said trying not to make Jerry feel discouraged.
Instead, his eyes lit up in question and curiosity. “How so?” he asked.
Jerry’s script was called [Titan Man] and was basically a story of toys fighting with each other. The name [Titan Man] derived from how the Titan Man was being a super soldier toy.
While reading and consuming the details in the script, Will noticed how similar it was to Toy Story.
And if modified it into Toy Story, he knew that it’d have been so much better.
“My idea is that, rather than a one man event, which is the main theme of your whole story, I think it would be better to make it an ensemble cast with a lot of characters. Since I already have some plans, I’d develop the script and send it to you later on.” Will said with a smile.
“I think it’s quite interesting, and yeah, sure. Thanks, Will.” Jerry reciprocated the smile knowing the creativity geniusness of Will. And because of that, he had no problem or question with Will’s suggestion.

At Foxstar main building, the office of CEO, Colt Miller.
“Yes sir, these are the reports.” Colt Miller’s assistant was currently showing the reports of [Hitch] which was supposed to be released next week.
“Are the estimations clear?” Colt questioned.
“Totally sir.”
The reports were of the box office next week. The numbers of estimations were quite high considering how good the story was and how Will’s name was a part of it.
Colt nodded and turned the pages in the file.
“How about [Sherlock Holmes 2]?” He asked after a few seconds of silence.
The assistant kept looking at how the CEO was gazing through the numbers in the file, yet not even focusing on a single digit.
The question made the assistant remember something suddenly.
“Will Evan’s assistant called and said that he’d come to meet you with a script before the premiere of [Hitch].”
