Around the month of September, the KiShin Pictures have long finished filming "Spiderman," and it was already in the process of editing and assembly. It was editing the raw footage and assembling with a rough cut, outlining the movie's structure and narrative flow. The CGI artists received this rough cut as a reference point for their work.

The process involved putting visual effects, sound design, and music. This process took a long time, and if these processes were finished, the film would be color graded by colorists. Once all are complete, the film is assembled into a final cut. The final cut undergoes further refining and adjustments based on feedback from test screenings and studio executives. "Spiderman" will probably be good enough to be distributed to cinemas and DVDs.

After KiShin finished filming "Spiderman," the project "Harry Potter" film had not even started yet. The production team couldn't find a suitable protagonist, a kid that looked exactly like Harry. When they were able to find a suitable one, the kid was still too young.

Upon learning about the issue, Shin realized that the actor for Harry Potter might still be too young or may not exist in this world. However, he received a report that the UK team was actually able to search for the actor, but unfortunately, the actor was still too young.

Despite Shin's desire to produce the film promptly, without the appropriate cast, it may not even match up to his previous life's version. However, it seemed like fate had chosen the kid for the role of Harry Potter.

Shin decided to postpone the "Harry Potter" film project for now, considering alternative searches for suitable actors or waiting for Daniel and the other cast members to grow up. He explained these difficulties to Mira, his wife, and she didn't mind waiting for a few years.

In the meantime, Shin had KiShin Pictures start film projects titled "Titanic" and "The Lost World: Jurassic Park."

With the budget and funds KiShin Pictures is receiving, they can handle the production of two film projects simultaneously.

At the KiShin Pictures Headquarters in New York, the writers and director for the "Titanic" film gathered in the dedicated writer's room. This creatively designed space featured comfortable furniture, whiteboards, and even a model of the doomed ship to inspire collaboration.

The "Titanic" film project was still in the production stage. The writers were actively brainstorming ideas and polishing the plot. Filming was about to begin, and the team didn't need to worry about the cast, as casting had been handled a few weeks ago.

"The Titanic" was also penned by James Cameron in this world, and Shin didn't even need to lift a finger. James Cameron had actively sought out KiShin Pictures studio for the production of "Titanic" in the year 1995.

*Flashback*

Around 1995, James Cameron approached studios like Warner Bros. for the production of "Titanic." After negotiations, he couldn't accept the terms provided by the studio. He also approached 20th Century Fox, but they were hesitant and doubtful of the film's success. The studio imposed too many conditions, and the negotiations dragged out. Facing this, James considered other film studios that might be willing to produce and fund the film.

Then, he remembered the film studio behind "Jurassic Park" – KiShin Pictures.

James went to KiShin Pictures and submitted the script to the company. He was aware that his script would undergo a multi-layered analysis, so he patiently waited.

What James didn't know was that, unlike ordinary film studios, although KiShin Pictures' development executives and script readers would analyze the script, it would be reported directly to the studio executives. However, these executives wouldn't be the ones making the final decision; they would inform the true controller of KiShin Pictures, Shinro Suzuki, thus streamlining the process.

The positive aspect was that, upon hearing James Cameron's name and the script title "Titanic," Shin promptly had someone contact James and presented him with a favorable offer.

James, who had submitted the script to KiShin Pictures just two days prior, was personally invited by the KiShin Pictures executives at that time.

Though James was a bit surprised, he went to the KiShin Pictures Headquarters, where the studio executives treated him exceptionally well, unlike executives from other film studios.

This unexpected warmth raised suspicions for James. He felt that something wasn't quite right, not because of the offer itself but because of the unusually pleasant treatment he was receiving. Despite the excitement deep inside him after KiShin Pictures presented a compelling offer to produce "Titanic," he remained composed, calming himself to consult a lawyer for any potential contract clauses.

Gradually, James decided to choose KiShin Pictures over other film studios due to their willingness and generosity.

KiShin Pictures offered better terms and had fewer conditions for the film. They simply wanted a fictional love story between the male and female leads. James was willing to accept, given the favorable offers from the film studio; he couldn't ask for more, and certainly, he wouldn't face the same treatment as the other film studios, especially the stingy big six.

*Back to the present*

KiShin Pictures had even constructed a replica of the Titanic ship in Mexico.

James, now the director of "Titanic," was genuinely impressed by KiShin Pictures' quick decision to build the Titanic ship replica. He believed the studio had ample funds to spare, and the replica had been completed a few weeks ago, with filming about to commence.

The last-minute polishing of the script had also concluded, and after a while, in September, the "Titanic" film project finally began.
