Scheduling the tasks for his team, William White sets his sights on Hollywood, exploring the possibilities beyond Silicon Valley. Recognizing the limited scope of traditional industries, he contemplates the vibrant landscape of the film industry.
With giants and independent producers dotting Hollywood, William knows he must start small, especially considering he lacks the resources of a Lucas-level production company. However, the market for special action movies beckons, and the diverse audience in the United States ensures profitability for well-made movies, whether in the realm of art or horror.
Undeterred by resource constraints, William intends to leverage the financial success of White Software to fund his venture into filmmaking. This dream has roots in his past, as he had previously clashed with his father over pursuing two majors, one of which included film studies.
Forber, his father, now views the filmmaking endeavor as a harmless pursuit. The lucrative nature of White Software has allowed William to pursue his passion without significant financial constraints.
Hollywood presents a myriad of opportunities, and William plans to start small, producing commercials and documentaries. He envisions a gradual ascent in the industry, gaining popularity and resources over the years.
To make a movie in Hollywood, William opts for a company registered in one of the tax-free states, carefully navigating the legal aspects with the help of a lawyer. This marks the beginning of his foray into the cinematic world.
His assistant, Jason, initially questions the legitimacy of William's filmmaking endeavor, humorously suggesting he could be a suitable male lead. However, William's determination to start with commercials and documentaries, gradually working his way up, reassures Jason, who wishes him a swift return.
As William arrives in Los Angeles, he is greeted by the perpetual blue skies, a stark contrast to the usual fog. He leases a mansion in Beverly Hills, taking meticulous care in planning despite the absence of a substantial financial buffer.
William's ambition to make a movie is met with skepticism by the established Hollywood elites, but he remains undeterred. The Hollywood studio system, while seemingly open to all, operates under the influence of a Jewish consortium. William, opting for a low-key approach, begins the process of building his team for Caotai.
He instructs Forbes to register the script with the Screenwriters Guild, signaling the start of the recruitment process. William's move attracts attention, particularly from the Writers' Association, as the rumors of a film company's substantial bid for the adaptation rights circulate.
The seemingly unfamiliar "White Pictures" draws curiosity and skepticism from the industry, as its novel presence challenges the established norms. The stage is set for William White's entry into Hollywood, with a script that carries the weight of Forrest Gump's success and a vision to carve his niche in the world of filmmaking.
