A month later,
Sam entered his office and checked the calendar, which said "02 September." In addition, a month has passed since Andrew and the entire crew traveled to Canada for filming the movie.
A brief intro into the film;
"1780-A Retaliation from Evil" is the title of this horror film, which is written by Sam and directed by Andrew.
'The narrative takes place fifty years after the United States gained independence from Britain. A young couple named "Joyce" and "Lisa," who has just gotten married in the 1820s, traveled to an old Virginian town that was devastated by the conflict between the British and Continental troops.
As a government engineer, Joyce's current project is to restore a previous fort that had been damaged during the Revolutionary War. However, the couple is unaware that the fort is home to an evil spirit connected to Lisa's previous life, which would continue to plague her in the next life.'
Rekzon Studios, a top second-tier studio known for producing dark and horror films, has already been involved in the film "1780," acquiring at least 50% of the production and distribution.
Claire enters the office and tells Sam that they have spent about $5 million on the restaurant and its surroundings and that the remaining credits would be paid in installments over the next two years.
Following that, at Philip's urging, Sam and Claire proceed to the studio auditorium to watch the 3D opening logo of the "pitch-black" label, as well as Sparkling Studio's logo.
When they got there, they noticed that at least half of the studio managers had already shown up and seated themselves. Sam sat next to Philip and inquired about the other studios' responses on the production investment for his musical film.
Philip informed Sam that "the Capricorn Studios agree to our terms but cannot give us more than 1200 cinema screens compared to 2000 screens of the top studios, while Deep Ink and Umbrella labels of the two top studios are willing to invest in the movie they but are seeking full copyright with international rights as well."
After giving it some thought, Sam said, "Well, I'm confident in my film, and anyhow, we'll release it in early May with little competition from major studios. When our film makes more revenue than we expect, theaters will voluntarily add more screens.
I agree with Capricorn Studios; therefore, we'll wait for Andrew's movie to be finished until I work alongside the producer to edit it in post-production; till then, you should start the pre-production of this musical film." As everyone shows up while the light gradually fades out, Sam pauses speaking.
Sam has officially formalized his enterprise, with "Sandles Media" serving as the primary holding entity and Sparkling Motion and Dynamic Company, Sparkling Studios, Sparkling Pictures and Pitch-Black pictures as subsidiaries.
The distinction between a "studio" and "pictures" is straightforward: a studio is a production firm that engages in investment, production, and distribution, whereas a picture is subsidary of the studio that only produces the film.
Everyone in attendance was in wonder as they watched the two studios' 3D moving production logos, since it was their first time seeing such a remarkable application of technology in the filming picture business.
Since Sam stated that 3D and visual effects technology would be the primary focus of their business, they now had greater faith in him.
In order to give everyone in the company a clear understanding of the dimensional reduction blow that 3D technology will have on the film industry, Sam intended to have them study the new studio logos.
Sam brings Claire back to the office and requests for her to register an investment company name with Blue Ocean for investments in the stock market.
Within seven months, he had turned roughly $10 million in profit considering that he invested $20 million, which has grown to over $30 million in the stock market.
When Claire saw how easily Sam had made so much money from the stock market in just six months, she was stunned.
Coquettishly, she asks Sam whether she might invest her pocket money with this company as well.
Sam was rendered speechless by her pocket money, which amounted to nearly $5 million each year and was provided by Charles.
"Can I tell my father about this?" Claire asks naively.
Sam cautions, "Yes, but don't tell this news to someone meaninglessly or unimportant."
Sam and Claire's lives have become entwined since that night at the restaurant, and they share everything with one another.(go to 32.1 auxiliary chapter, volume 00)
