March 22nd, 2002

The past few months went in like a storm for John. With all the running from school to the movie director and the music director, day in and day out was exhausting for a 11 year old kid. Even though he was mentally older, at the end of the day it was the body which had to do the physical work .

After months of hard work and some help, using the proper sound, background score, music and voice for the movie, the production finally ended on 22nd March 2002. John was excited for the movie to be released as he knew that after it's release he will finally gain some foothold in this world.

Even though that would only mean in terms of money, it was still good for John. Didn't Tony Stark always flex on the fact that he is handsomely rich? Didn't T'Challa king of Wakanda flex on the fact that he is outrageously rich in comics? Even though his money won't really matter in the grand scheme of events but it will still be a start and he had enough ideas of what to do with the money.

On June 1st the movie was finally released after going through lots of post production process. The director, Rob was very happy with all the work. He gave his 100% to the movie and John had helped a lot in this regard. At first when he used to join him to see the movie production, he was skeptical as he felt that a kid shouldn't indulge in works of elder people but pretty soon he was proven wrong.

He soon realized that his inputs were extremely helpful. Especially during the post production process when the final cut was being made, his input was almost equivalent to gold. At some point Rob even felt that John had already watched the movie before and was directing the work like a prophet but he knew this thought was hilarious.

John would be astonished if he could read Rob's thoughts. Jameson would join in the production process whenever he had time but never interfered in any process as he knew that movie making is for professionals and not an old cot like him.

As there were no proper internet and communication, the movie couldn't be publicized globally like the movies in the 2020s. Jameson still made sure that there was enough publicity in the States.

On the night of June 1st, all big wigs came to the premiere of the movie in LA as that is the home of the Hollywood. It was also John's first time outside the city of New York and Jameson made sure that prominent Hollywood people joined for the movie. Being a media tycoon he had a strong partnership with the people of the media company. John also invited his friends from school for the movie, even though he has had very less interactions with them he had not forgotten them.

Many people were surprised by the fact that the story and many other works had the hand of John. They looked at Jameson to confirm if this was really true. After knowing this fact many people had weird looks on their faces and were instantly skeptical about the movie but still didn't think much on it.

John knew instantly that not many people were positive about it but it didn't matter to him at that point. He just wanted to end it soon so that his plans could be set in motion.

In the movie theater there was a podium where he could speak out before the start of the movie.

"Hello everyone! At this point many of you know who I am. Thanks to my Dad!" John said with a laugh. Hearing him, the audience also gave out small laughter.

"But I want to leave my name in this world not by being the son of J Jonah Jameson. But as John Jameson. I know it sounds ambitious for my age but I still want to try my best to achieve success. And today being my birthday I would like to take my first step towards my dream. I have come this far with the help of many people and I hope you all will continue to help me and I will return your good will to you in many folds. Thanks to all for taking this journey with me and I look forward to cooperating with you all for many years to come. Now, Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you 'The Lion King'. John got a standing ovation for his speech as what he said was way too mature for a kid of 12 years old and he already had grand plans to set in motion.

Soon the movie started and unsurprisingly it moved everybody with it's storyline, music, sound and depiction. The animation was much better than the 1994 original version so the movie was more vivid and colorful.

Soon after the movie ended people started discussing among themselves about the movie and in a few weeks the movie exploded globally. The turnover was unprecedented!
