Chapter 27 - 27. Two Scripts

The next morning, Sam gets up lazily, glances at Lily, who is sleeping soundly, and naughtily pinches her nose while moving towards the bathroom for a short shower.

While showering, he reflected on yesterday, after he handed over the studio's day to day work to Philips.

He then got up his car and drove for a short distance in search of inspiration for the new screenplay, until he recognized Lily near the convenience store purchasing groceries and drove her back to his apartment.

He advised Lily to go have a shower while he wrapped up the morning routine, then headed downstairs to the kitchen to prepare some breakfast.

After making some soft-boiled eggs and breakfast omelets and arranging the dishes at the dining table, Lily showed up, adored him, and sat down as the both of them started eating.

While eating, he inquires about her itinerary and the current state of her acting capabilities, to which she replies that every aspect is proceeding smoothly; she also informs him that her performance received some praise from the teachers there.

While appreciating her, he also asked her not to get involved with any movies that might damage her public image, and he updated her that he was going to be creating two new movies, one a low-cost horror where she will serve as the female lead, and the other a mid- to high-budget film in which she can at least fight for the second lead.

He gave her an option but cautioned her not to go with a horror film since becoming stereotyped in the horror category might render it challenging for her to make the switch to mainstream acting.

He arrives at the studios after sending her back by the entryway of her acting institution, while she had become distracted in contemplation.

Arriving inside his office space, he notified Claire of his arrival at the film studios and mentioned that she could approach him if she needed a pressing requirement.

After that, he called his system status.

Name: Sam Sandles

Health: 100/100 (full health)

Skill: Director (medium)

management (medium)

FP: 790,900

Seeing this panel, he concluded that he presently has enough points to distribute at least two good screenplays for his studios, as a new studio needs fresh and ongoing work to operate well and put its employees at peace.

The release schedule for his new work is simple: a low-budget horror film will be released near Halloween to generate quick profits, and another high-budget film will be released in the summer, which he will direct personally.

For the director for this upcoming horror flick he will be Andrew direct;as he is an effective toolman with more than a decade of work experience as an assistant director.

Although Andrew might not be outstanding at making particular films, he has the ability to direct a film provided he is given a comprehensive storyboard.

As for the storyboard, he controls the system; hence, he can acquire a thorough storyboard that includes specific camera angles, so refrain from worrying too much.

So he checked the system store and found many horror movies in Hollywood, but he switched to Bollywood since many transmigrators have previously repeated Hollywood movies, and he doesn't want to repeat the same routine.

Pure, violent, or gore-related horror movies have a restricted audience scope in Indian cinema; hence, they are frequently paired with a humorous tone, as Indian consumers commonly watch movies with their families as compared to the West.

So he began searching for a horror film called '1920', which is a classic pure horror film that became a hit in Indian cinema, and he believes it can be re-created into a Hollywood-style movie that American audiences would enjoy watching.

And, for himself, he discovered a musical film from Bollywood called 'Om Shanti Om', which is one of the best musical films produced and starring by superstar ShahRukhKhan, widely known as the 'Tom Cruise' of Indian cinemas, with a familial entertainment theme.

All he has to do now is modify and adjust the script in the Hollywood manner, as Americans have an exclusivity mindset for movies that are not associated with them.

While he was thinking about this, Claire walked into the office room to tell him that the cinematographer and the Silicon Valley computer experts he instructed her to summon had finally arrived.

Although Claire graduated from the business department, Harvard does not lack computer experts, and after consulting a few professors, she was introduced to some good seniors who are experts in this field of work.

Concerning a talented cinematographer who can work with technology, she received a recommendation from her father, who has numerous industry ties.

After coming out of his mind, he and Claire showed up at the conference room, alongside Philips accompanying them.

He previously informed Philips of his objectives for the next two years, which will involve producing two-three low-budget films with a longer duration that can be developed into 2-3 sequels for each franchise movie, in addition to producing one big-budget film annually in order to expand their visibility to the theater owners.

The theaters prefer family-friendly films because they generate a great deal of their revenue from women and children through selling food and beverages as well as peripheral merchandise.

So making a few big-budget movies can let the theaters know that a studios named Sparkling pictures have the ability to bring audiences to the theaters.

They walked into the conference room and found 4-5 individuals waiting for them. After some greetings, Sam got to know them.

The leader of the technological team is Thomas Paterson, a British immigrant and top Oxford graduate, and the cinematographer is Alex Reeves, an experienced and technological enthusiast.
