《My Hollywood System》MHS - Chapter 161
Advertisement
Will and Amanda were still in Jixar’s office, talking with Jerry and discussing the future plans of the company.
“I am not rejecting your movie idea completely. It’s just that it is lacking in its screenplay and it needs a much better script. Currently, I have other priorities, such as expanding the company and re-organizing the staff. You can continue your movie ideas later and you would have my full support. But I want Jixar to be the best animation house, and for that to happen, you have to listen to me.”
Will said as he looked at Jerry. He knew that Jerry was talented if he had come alone so far. But it didn’t mean he would leave things in Jerry’s hands when he needed to start Spiderman’s animation soon.
Without the animation, the hype of the first movie would be much lesser and Will didn’t want that.
“This is my first ever company, and although I have sold most of the shares, I still have some decision making powers. Don’t try to tell me what I can do and what I can’t.”
Jerry retorted with a bit of hostility. Will could understand his sentiments with the company, but he didn’t want to face loss by almost purchasing a whole company with no practical use for himself.
“You need to cooperate with me here if you ever want to see this company become one of the best, not just in this country, but also in the whole world.”
Will said in a calm manner because he didn’t want any animosity with Jerry as he was an important part of the company and a genius. He would be a big plus when setting up the whole animation studio.
“Again, you are acting like the boss here. I won’t work with you if you want to control me. I will do whatever I feel like. You're not the only person who can run a company, I have had my fair share of experience too.”
Jerry again replied as if he was talking to his sworn enemy. Almost as if he had a personal beef with Will.
Sigh.
Will sighed. He has heard enough. He was not a saint, and neither was he a statue to take such insults continuously. Especially considering the social gap between Will and Jerry, the insult was way too much.
"Okay, shithead. I have had enough of your shit. Which experience are you talking about? The experience that has made you stop after a year of growth? Your fucking ignorance is probably the only reason that this company never grew too big. Why do you think all your investors sold their shares? I own the majority of shares and I call the shots. Follow it and you'll prosper, refuse it and you'll still have to follow it. Fucking bonehead, stop chirping like a bird when you don’t know shit about business."

Will let out everything he had inside of him, as he adjusted his necktie and put one of his legs on his other leg. Sitting like an uncrowned king.
Jerry was looking at Will with an expression that couldn't hide his surprise or fear. But the one who was the most shocked was someone who knew Will for almost a year.
Amanda looked at Will with her mouth agape, literally. She couldn’t believe what she just heard, and would never believe it if she didn’t witness it personally.
Since when did Will become this crude?
This question rang inside her mind as she immediately got her answer too.
‘He’s a human too after all. He just tries to stay as rightful and polite as possible normally. But if someone touches his bottom side, well, I just witnessed what happens to them.’
Amanda had witnessed a side of Will that nobody in Hollywood had seen and she couldn’t help but feel giddy about it. As if she had just learned about one of the major secrets of her best friend.
The only other person in the room and the receiver of Will’s anger was currently shaking in his seat. Maybe out of feelings like anger, indignance…. Or maybe fear? Amanda didn’t know and she didn’t care.
According to her, Jerry deserved more curses than that, to finally get some sense jogged down in his brain.
“Hey, I am sorry. Okay? But if you piss me off again, you’ll hear something ruder next time. Not just that, I have a big law firm behind me you know? Not only am I just a major equity shareholder, but I am also a major voting shareholder. I can easily pass a resolution on my own and if you go against it, I can practically and legally sue you. Now once again, I am telling you. Go according to what I and Dream Vision plan for you, and later on, when the company can actually afford it, you can have your freedom and do whatever you like. At least wait for 6 months, okay?”
Will said, this time in a much calmer voice yet a deeper threat than the previous time. He didn’t have time to play house with this kid (almost the same age as him) who only knew machines and software and had no understanding of business.
He was sure that Jerry would, later on, understand the decisions that he had taken. But till then, Will had to be the villain, since he didn’t understand a sweeter language.

“O-okay.”
Jerry slightly nodded his head and Amanda smiled. No matter how much of a talented genius he was, he was still scared of the law and knew it well enough to know that Will actually had the power and money to mess his life up. Although a bit indignant, he still accepted.
“But let me tell you right now, you have no right to interfere with my existing team. I don’t have slackers here, so you can add your own staff, but you can’t fire the existing ones.”
Jerry said, worried about his University friends and old staff that he had painstakingly gathered.
“Yeah, I am totally fine with it. I am not your enemy, I am an ally. And that’s why I can’t just let you do things your way when I know they’re going to fail.”
Will replied with a chuckle.
“Oh, one more thing. Do you have any special attachment to the company’s name?”
Will asked and Jerry shook his head,
“No, it was something that I came up with on a whim.”
Will clapped his hand as he happily said.
“If that’s the case. I am passing a special resolution to change the company’s name to Dream’s Pixar since it’s going to join the Dream International Corporation anyways.”
Jerry wanted to ask why can’t Will just go with Dream’s Jixar, but he suppressed his question. Attributing the name change to Will not wanting to keep anything that Jerry wants.
“With that on the settled. I want [Ultimate Spiderman] to enter pre-production as soon as possible. So please inform your existing team.”
Will said with a pure smile, from which not an ounce of the previous vulgarity can be pointed out. Amanda was already laughing on the inside watching Will’s skin changing faster than a chameleon.
Will was going to make the 4 seasons [Ultimate Spiderman] that was funny, engaging, and witty. It was released in the year 2012 so Will was right on time too. It was one of the most popular cartoon series back then and also the children’s favorite.
***
Micheal Robert Elrod was currently on a date with Susan Nicole and was enjoying the evening while having dinner with her in a luxurious restaurant.
“Meeting you is almost like fate. I can’t believe how compatible we are.”
Robert commented somewhat emotionally as he circled the wine glass in his hand.
“Aww, c’mon. Stop saying that already, its not our first date you know.”
Susan replied in a loving manner. If Will currently saw these both together, he would laugh at fate for sure.
Because Robert couldn’t be any more right about what he said. He was sitting with his girlfriend who was also his wife in Will’s previous world. So it truly was fate’s play.
In this world, Susan was a producer who had produced a lot of movies and series, big and small. One of the major ones was [Infinity Round], a famous thriller series. She was the assistant producer in it and had worked in many other series and shows even before and after that.
After a while, Robert was talking about how he was currently doing a short supporting role in a movie called [Light Shining on the Glass]. The movie was about a depressed guy’s life. How he grew up from a kid to a struggling adult, finding it hard to adapt to society. Robert’s role was that of a senior of the main character.
He took this role to expand his filmography and not get bored until [Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows] starts.
“You are so lucky to have work like that. Here it is getting harder to cope up with these whimmy directors every day.”
Susan complained. Recently, she had only been getting some small and medium-sized projects and even in them, the directors were extremely whimsical and sometimes very rude. To the point that it becomes painfully hard to bear with them.
Robert, who heard that, suddenly remembered something.
“About that, I actually have an offer for you. More like, it’s an offer from Will.”
Susan raised an eyebrow as soon as she heard the name of Will Evans, one of the hottest commodities that Hollywood currently had to offer.
