Film Project

[KiShin US Headquarters]

Meanwhile, Shin, having heard the opinions of the media and the public through Orio Masayoshi, flashed a faint smile.

"It doesn't matter whether they'll like it or not. For now, I've already written the movie idea for our film studio to produce," Shin said, clasping his hands as his elbow rested upon the desk.

Orio Masayoshi was a bit surprised and inquired, "Oh? Can I know what it is?"

Shin smiled and replied, "It's about dinosaurs."

Orio Masayoshi furrowed his brows upon hearing that and thought, 'About dinosaurs?'

Though Orio Masayoshi was kind of confused, he didn't ask any further questions.

Then Shin continued, "We should start scouting for talent, especially a film director for my project." He paused and handed the film project paper to Orio Masayoshi, saying, "Also, please initiate the registration for the copyright of this script, and after that, submit it to the WGA (Writers Guild of America) and DGA (Directors Guild of America)."

Orio Masayoshi received the papers and nodded as he examined the film project closely. On the cover, a title was prominently displayed: 'Jurassic Park.'

Shin couldn't help but smile when he saw Orio Masayoshi's reaction. His choice to produce 'Jurassic Park' stemmed from two primary reasons. Firstly, there was no 'Jurassic Park' novel in this world, and secondly, this film had been a blockbuster in his previous life.

...

Several days had passed since Shin entrusted Orio Masayoshi with the film project.

Meanwhile, on a certain street in California, a man in his 50s named Stephen Spielberg aspired to become a great director. In his 20s, he directed his first film titled 'Duel' and went on to direct various other movies, such as 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind,' and more.

Stephen Spielberg had harbored dreams of becoming a renowned director since his youth. At the age of 12, he took the initiative to direct a 40-minute film, enlisting a classmate as his casts. The film, focused on a war theme, was shot using his dad's camera, and to his delight, it went on to win an award.

As he settled into a public chair positioned on the sidewalk, Stephen Spielberg noticed a flyer lying on the seat, prompting him to reach out and inspect it with curiosity.

Examining the contents, Stephen came across the words 'KiShin Pictures,' and the flyer detailed opportunities for either hiring individuals or collaborating with a director.

While his curiosity piqued, his phone suddenly beeped, grabbing Stephen Spielberg's attention. Glancing at the screen, he saw it was his agent calling, so he answered, "What's up?"

His agent, Mathias Carlson, on the other end of the line, spoke, "Stephen, I've secured two projects from the DGA, and one of them might pique your interest, given your penchant for directing intriguing films with fresh concept ideas."

Stephen Spielberg was taken aback by this revelation and inquired, "Oh? What is it?"

Mathias Carlson continued speaking on the other end of the phone, "Let me start with the first one. The initial film project is a fairly conventional story about a young boy who gets kidnapped and eventually turns the tables by eliminating his kidnapper."

Stephen Spielberg rubbed his chin thoughtfully and remarked, "It could make for an interesting movie if executed well." He paused and inquired, "What about the other one?"

Mathias Carlson chuckled upon hearing this and replied, "The next project is the one that might truly ignite your interest." His voice carried a hint of suspense.

Curious, Stephen Spielberg furrowed his brows and asked, "Oh? Then don't keep me in suspense any longer. Tell me about it."

Mathias Carlson, still on the other end of the line, chuckled and said, "Hehe, this film project is part of the newly established KiShin Pictures. Its parent company was originally focused on video games." There was a teasing undertone in his voice, perhaps teasing Stephen Spielberg or poking fun at KiShin's daring venture into an unfamiliar industry.

Stephen Spielberg frowned and urged, "I understand that. Just tell me the concept of the film already!"

Mathias Carlson, on the other end of the phone, sighed in exasperation at Stephen Spielberg's impatience. He relented and said, "Alright, alright!" Pausing briefly and realizing he had to share the concept before Stephen grew annoyed, he continued in a rush, "It's about a remote island where a wealthy entrepreneur establishes a theme park. This tycoon uses genetic engineering to resurrect dinosaurs as an attraction for his island park. Initially, these revived dinosaurs are kept safely enclosed, but later, chaos erupts as the dinosaurs break free from their enclosures and—"

Before he could finish his explanation, Stephen Spielberg abruptly interrupted, exclaiming, "Stop!" His eyes widened in amazement.

Mathias Carlson assumed Stephen Spielberg didn't like the film project, so he sighed with a hint of pity and said, "I knew it... You wouldn't like it... I thought it was rather intriguing too!"

Stephen Spielberg, who heard this, simply chuckled and replied, "What are you talking about? That concept is incredibly fascinating!"

Mathias Carlson, on the other end of the phone, furrowed his brows and inquired, "Then why did you tell me to stop?"

Stephen Spielberg chuckled and replied, "I told you to stop because you were talking too fast!" Pausing for a moment, he added with a chuckle, "Are you channeling your inner 2Pac or something?"

Mathias Carlson, upon hearing this, simply chuckled wryly, acknowledging his enthusiasm, and then asked Stephen Spielberg, "So, what do you think? Do you like it?"

Stephen Spielberg nodded eagerly and said, "Of course, I like it! Contact KiShin Pictures right away and secure me as the director for this particular film project!"

Mathias Carlson on the other end of the phone agreed, "Alright, alright!" and then ended the call.

As the call concluded, Stephen Spielberg looked at the KiShin Pictures flyers in his hand. He stroked his chin with his other hand and mused, "KiShin Pictures? Interesting..." He couldn't help but feel a faint excitement at the prospect of directing such a compelling film project that KiShin Pictures had just brought to his attention.

Meanwhile, in Japan, the Dragon Ball manga series achieved rapid success, quickly garnering the attention of various Nippon TV executives.

Nippon TV even reached out to the author with the idea of adapting the manga into an anime, hoping to compete with Pokémon. However, various scandals involving the collaboration between Tora and Nippon TV resulted in the project coming to a standstill. Tora and Nippon TV were brainstorming ways to compete with Pokémon that had no connection to KiShin Pokémon.

As Nippon TV contacted Kira Toriyama, they were left disappointed, realizing that Dragon Ball was also influenced by KiShin.

In response to this, the CEO of Nippon TV, Akimitsu Ishizawa, frustratedly ran his hand through his messy hair, thinking, "KiShin! Can't you provide us with some exclusive business opportunities already?"

The Dragon Ball manga series had already gained popularity due to its humor, unique art style, and captivating storyline.
