Movie Plans (Rewritten)

Stu: Hey Carl, how is the househunt?

Carl Max, his new personal assistant, was assigned with the task of searching for a mansion for Harry.

Harry didn't care about the price because the merchandise sales of One Piece and Dragon Ball make him millions, not to mention his own TV channel and the Theatre Chains.

Carl: I found two in Beverly Hills.

Harry looked at Carl and nodded. He actually didn't care what type of mansion he would live in. He just wanted to live in a big house next to other celebrities and own luxurious cars.

When he would have enough fame, he will make his own palace and maybe turn it into a museum after his death.

It has been two months since the launch of FunTime TV. During these two months, not a lot has changed.

The shows which were earlier shown on JTV have been shifted to FunTime TV and some additional shows have been launched to fill some gaps.

Reality shows like America's Got Talent and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, new animated kid's shows like SpongeBob SquarePants and Dragon Ball and another Power Rangers season were the new shows launched in these two months.

The ratings for these shows were sky high, which made the advertising revenues also soar high. This made both Fox and Harry earn good profits.

Harry: What about the scripts I asked about?

His time to venture into Hollywood was coming closer, so Harry decided to prepare some things in advance, like a movie script.

Production cost will never be an issue, since he is rich. The issue is making the movie itself. What film should I make? Will it recieve good response? Will it be profitable? What if it bombs?

These thoughts kept torturing Harry these past two months. In the end, he decided to play it safe. He would choose a safe script from the Scriptwriter's Union, hire a director and be the producer himself.

If the response is good, then he will direct the next film himself.

Carl: I have them with me.

Carl took out some folders from his bag and handed them Harry.

Harry looked at the three scripts in his hand.

Out of the ten scripts he randomly selected, these three scripts piqued his interest the most.

One was about a young boy discovering aliens in his backyard and trying to get the aliens back to their spaceship while hiding them from the government.

The other was about a love triangle between two guys and one girl. You can guess the rest.

The third one was the most interesting. It was about a man who gets killed. But he finds that he has regresssed back to just before his murder was about to happen. But he is still unable to stop his death by an unknown person's hand. The man tries to break this cycle and find out the identify of the murderer..

The first one will obviously take more money to make because of the special effects and props it will use. Harry didn't want to do the second one because he hated love comedies. The third one .... Hmmmm.

Harry: Hey Carl? What about this one?

He asked Carl's opinion because being open minded is necessary.

Carl, who had read the scripts before thought carefully for a while before speaking his mind.

Carl: Sir, I think you should choose the third one.

Harry: And why is that?

Carl: Because it is the most interesting one. It has more artistry feel to it. If you want to be a director in the future then this film will serve as a great example to learn from.

Harry: So you are saying that the first production of Silver Screen Studies should be a dark, bloody and depressing film?

Carl: I just spoke my mind sir.

Carl was a little afraid. He was recommended to this job by his friend who was Emily's husband. When he heard that Harry Jackson wanted a new assistant, he immediately applied for the job. He had heard a lot about the Manager of JTV and now FunTime TV. Being the assistant of such a man was an achievement.

Harry chuckled when he saw Carl sweating nervously. He quite liked the man. Carl thought in the same direction as him.

Harry: You should keep speaking your mind Carl. It's good to meet a person who is honest. Anyaay, I like your suggestion. Get this script a little refined because it looks to be made in the 1980s. Hire a script writer and tell him to change a few of the dialogues and add more realisticity. I mean if a person is dying so many times, he must be going mad slowly.
