And due to the controversy and being talked about a lot by the mainstream media it became a household name. Everyone knew about it. And above that, the film's quality didn't disappoint the fans either. So now there was a real hype around this movie.
The hype showed its magic real soon and in the first week, the movie had earned over 90 million dollars. A movie made with a budget of 16 million dollars earning this much in the first week only, can only be considered a blockbuster.
Ash himself had never expected this kind of result. At least based on the data from his previous world. In his previous world, this movie was made on the budget of $8 million and made $59 million in North America and $100 million worldwide.
So these results were a shocker for him too but seeing the huge popularity boost from the controversy, his reaction can be considered an exasperation.
Now that, the movie would cross $ 100 million for sure he also had finished writing the script for his next movie.
Just as Ash was about to be lost in his future dreams he heard a knock on the door of his office so he said, "Come in"
Serena entered the office and said, "Now, we are officially a big profit-making studio. So what's next?"
"Calm down, take a breath, and sit down first," Ash said with his typical emo smile. As Serena sat down Ash continued, "So what's the news of the town?"
"You first," Serena told Ash to tell his plans to her.
"That should be my line. Ladies first. But Anyways..." Ash surrendered in front of Serena and continued, "Right now I have three scripts with me. The first one is the script for my next movie. The second one is
"So you want to start Marvel and DC right after you got some money."
"Well, my first priority will be my next movie. And my second priority will be the Batman movie. It will be good to shoot both movies simultaneously. So we should start looking for a director for it."
"You are prioritizing a DC movie. I thought you were more excited for Marvel. Why this sudden change?"
"There are actually two reasons, I think it will be easier to make since not much CGI will be involved in this movie, and our CGI is weak so I want to rely more on the practical effects for this movie. And second is the audience isn't very accustomed to superhero movies so < Batman) can make his debut as a mystery thriller and introduce the superhero genre to the public."
"That is good reasoning. That is very rare of you to be so realistic."
When Ash heard that he could feel the outright sarcasm from her so he said, "Aren't you making fun of me a lot lately."
Serena downright ignored his comment and said, "Did you hear about Butch. He was imprisoned for 6 months and for fined $500 for defaming by the court"
"What about the corruption charges?"
"They are still on him. A verdict about them wasn't given Yet."
"Let's forget about Butch and focus on the work. Send these two scripts to DC and Marvel. And set up a meeting with Andrew Symonds."
"Andrew Symonds ?"
"I met him during my connection hunting and he was ready to invest in me."
"That's good news." Serena really found it weird, Ash being a realist. She thought that Ash wouldn't allow outside investment even if she persuaded him to do so. But now Ash was taking the initiative all by himself and it was a good thing.
She continued, "Oh, I forgot to tell you something. Disney called and they are very interested in the foreign distribution rights of
"Even though our domestic distribution is our stronghold we are lacking a lot in foreign markets. So we should start working on that until then let's rely on Disney.
"Yeah, Let's take things slowly and build our power first."
After saying that Serena took the two scripts from the table and got up and said. "I will send these scripts to Marvel and DC."
Ash was still a little annoyed by how Serena had teased him earlier and he wanted to get even with her but didn't know, how. And now Serena was walking out so hastily got up, caught Serena's wrist, and pulled her towards himself.
Serena was wearing heels so was stumbled by Ash's sudden move and started falling. When Ash saw this he immediately rushed toward her and caught her.
When Serena came to be she found herself in Ash's arms. Her face turned red and her mind became a mess.
When Ash saw her like this he asked, "Are you okay?"
She just nodded at his question so Ash helped her get up back.
The atmosphere became awkward so Ash broke the silence and said. "I am so sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Ash was saying but Serena was a mess. She looked at Ash and raised her hands which were holding the scripts. She hit Ash lightly on the forehead with scripts in her hands.
After that, she turned around and left while Ash was left there standing dumbfounded. He touched his forehead and tried to interpret, what that light tap on his forehead meant.
Was Serena still mad at him or she had forgiven him. After hot finding an answer for a while he gave it up.
After that Ash turned around and went towards the glass window and started looking at the skyline while thinking about his future plans
It had been around 3 months since he came to this world. He had already taken the first step toward greatness. As he was thinking about it a smile formed on his face and he kept looking outside.
