《My Hollywood System》Chapter 82
Advertisement
It took two days for Will to get over the spectacular success of [Sherlock Holmes]. After two days, he was already thinking about the future.
Although the media was still busy praising the movie and the number of invitations he had received for parties exceeded 100, he was in no mood to hang on to it for long.
[Sherlock Holmes] was his best success, and he was very proud of his efforts, but he felt like if he got too proud of it, he would lose the chance to do something bigger.
Currently, his mind was already thinking of his company and how to make it even bigger.
His ambition was to make Dream Vision one of the Big 6. Even the head of it, and it won't happen with just one movie.
That's why, early in the morning, he called Jeffrey and Amanda to the conference room to talk about the company's future.
The two of them were the most trusted people around him, and he needed them for his ambitions.
So, as the meeting started, Will laid out his plans in front of them.
"First of all, we need to move to a bigger building. Our current workplace is too small, and we will expand a lot from now on. Second, we need efficient people in all departments and better equipment. Dream Vision can't stay as a one-man company always."
When it had started, Will had just acquired a company to produce a movie for himself, but now after the success of [Sherlock Holmes], he was going to make it on the level of Foxstar and Z studios.
Amanda understood where he was heading and agreed.
"Will, then we would have to recruit many people and renting another place will cost us a lot too depending on how big a place you want. We would need a clear vision of where we want to head our company."
Hearing her response, Will felt like Amanda already had given some thought to it.
"It looks like you have some ideas?"
"Yeah, it was pretty apparent when you talked about a talent agency. You were just waiting for a big success and [Sherlock Holmes] already gave you that. So, with money in your hands, you can do a lot."

Jeffery was the only silent one in their conversation, and when Will looked at him, he scratched his head.
"Jeffery, don't you have any thoughts?"
"I don't know much about business, and the only thing I learned in college was how to operate a camera." Jeffery laughed.
"But you do know about Hollywood?"
"That I do. I can help you connect with people that you can cooperate with. Other than that, I need to know what is brewing in your head?"
Jeffery looked at him with squinted eyes. Knowing Will, he already had everything planned out and only after he is sure of the success that he would tell it to them.
Will coughed a little and finally unveiled a little of his plan.
"I want to produce 4-5 movies in the next one year."
Amanda's eyes widened, and she hurriedly asked.
"Will, there's not much time left in the year. Maybe half a year. We can't release this many movies in such a short time. And what do you mean produce?"
"I'm not saying to release them this year. We can just shoot them and release them later. And yes, I'm going to produce it. Dream Vision needs to produce its own movies now as I can't direct all of them."
As Will explained this, Jeffery asked a question.
"So, you will oversee these movies as a producer?"
"No, you will be my producer, Jeffery."
"What??"
For a second, Jeffery thought Will was joking. But when he glanced at Amanda, she didn't look surprised like she was already expecting this.
"Amanda needs to manage the company, and I'm busy with my own things. I need someone to produce movies, and you are the only right candidate for this."
"Why me?"
"Mainly because you know movies, you are someone I trust with my money and can you even think of someone else who I can entrust with this job."
Jeffery was not able to reply for some time, contemplating Will's words, but in the end, he nodded his head.
After all, there was no reason to reject.
"So, these 4-5 movies? Where are they going to come from?"
"I'm going to write them. I already have ideas and have completed one script called [1917]. We are going to get directors and make a whole production to shoot them all."

"Oh, that's why we need to expand the company and get better equipment."
Amanda added, to which he nodded his head. Next, he explained about the type of building model he wanted.
As a major part of his business would also be his talent agency, Will wanted half of the building to be for the agency. The first two floors can be the production studio, and the next two can be the talent agency, with the fifth floor consisting of offices for Will, Amanda, Jeffery and conference rooms.
Jeffrey pointed out that a five-floor building was going to cost a lot to rent, but Will had no worries over money.
He was going to get at least around 350 million dollars from his shares out of the 1.1 billion dollars for [Sherlock Holmes]. Though, the money was still going through tax deductions.
In the future, when [Sherlock Holmes] stopped running in the theatres, he would get a little more share.
Moreover, he had a lot of money lying around, thanks to the FP conversion rate.
"We would also have to hire a lot of people for all the departments, and Amanda, did you make the list I told you too?"
"Yeah, and it seems like we would have to fire some people."
Amanda said with a wry smile.
When the pre-production of [Sherlock Holmes] was going on, he had asked Amanda to keep an eye on the department heads and other prominent staff members.
Although he had not fired any people when he had bought the company, he still had doubts on whether they could be efficient enough.
So, he had made Amanda keep an eye, and she had found a lot of people who were not really good at their work, and there were even some people who would leak out information.
They would have to fire those first and remove them with more efficient ones.
"Looks like hard days are ahead of me."
Amanda said, thinking of the word she suddenly had. From going through real estate offices to select a building to manage hiring interviews.
"Yeah, but it will only be for a while. After we go through a stable period, you can take a break."
As Will said that, she shook her head.
"No, this is actually what I wanted. I have always wanted to be the CEO of a company that can reach the top, and I feel like Dream Vision is the one. Anyway, do you have a person in mind to head the talent agency? I can't handle that too, you know."
"Yeah, I have one person. I would need to have a meeting first, though. And Jeffrey, I want you to handle DTA for now."
For the record, DTA stands for Dream Talent Agency. This was the name that Will had decided on for his agency.
"I can do that for a while. But I'm not really good at it."
Jeffery answered honestly, thinking of his inexperience.
"We have to announce Robert and Ewan's association with DTA next week as [Birdman] announcement will happen then. You will just have to act as the interim head."
"Then, it's okay."
Thinking of it a little, Jeffrey found it a little absurd. He was the first one to tell Will that his plan of an agency was ridiculous, but now he was going to act as the interim head of it.
Things were also different now. Will had a big success back then, but it was not comparable to [Sherlock Holmes].
After that, Will talked more about both the studio and talent agency. He had a clear plan in mind for it, and with Amanda's points, the plan was becoming better.
It was decided that the talent agency would hold auditions from all over Hollywood to find talents, and for the hiring of the management positions in Dream Vision, Amanda was going to handle it.
She had a lot of connections in this sense that she could exploit.
It was only in the evening that the three of them left the meeting room.
For a while, the staff in Dream Vision wondered what the meeting was about and even the head of the departments were curious about it, but no information was given.
The next day, the 'purification' of Dream Vision started with 19 people given expulsion notices, including two heads of big departments.

The Orc's Consort
*Editing*"Jas...Jasper," I gasped as he pulled his slick fingers from between my legs. Would he finally take me? At one time in my life, I could never dream of submitting myself to Orc, but Jasper Bloodborne, chief of the Northern Orruk horde, had his grip on my heart. "Please," I whispered, begging him once more. I could feel his bulge grow, digging into my mound. He released his soft lips from my breast and looked at me with pure lust. He reached down and undid the top button of his pants, looking at me as he did. He undid another and lowered his hand to undo the last button. He paused in suspense. "Are you sure you are ready for me little warrior?" He said as the corner of his lip curled.I look back up with pleading eyes. I nodded, and he undid the last button. His girth burst forth fully erect. Oh, gods, he's so massive. I didn't imagine he'd be this huge. "That will never fit." I gasped22 year old Lady Brenna of Blackwater Hold had been dealt away to the Northern Orruk horde by her father.

I pulled on my beige puff jacket as I opened the door. Just as I turn to the door, Elijah is standing right in front of me. "I've missed you so much." He tilted his head towards me, yearning for one of my kisses. I placed my hand against his face and pulled away. "Don't you have to go skiing?"He removed my hand. "And didn't you just see me this morning?" I asked, tilting my head and placing my hands on my hips. He bites his lips and pulls me closer. "I wanted to see you before we leave." He quickly pecked my lips and gripped my bottom. I lightly pushed him off and giggled. ✘✘✘✘✘𝘑𝘢𝘥𝘢 𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘌𝘭𝘪𝘫𝘢𝘩 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘯.
