《Multiverse of Marvel》15. Directing a movie
Advertisement
The morning of August 5, there was a meeting between John and the management of Disney for a new route to the company. This time only Val accompanied him and Jameson didn't join as he felt his son was big enough now to take major decisions.
Early morning he came to the studio and met with all the senior management and they all settled down in the meeting room.
"Well as I have informed earlier the company will now start creating sci-fi and even real life movies. But the story and the script of the movies should always go through me. Mostly the scripts will be proposed by me and if any of the script writers hired by the company comes up with a reliable story I will consider it" John said. Disney was always controlled solely by John as he didn't want any public or outside interference. He had the last say in the studio, even though Bob looked after all the management issues but the final say was still under the hands of John.
"I know that you all have been too eager for this so here I have a story for you. And to inform you that Kevin will take a new role in the company as the head of a subsidiary of Disney. Disney will never interfere in the works of Kevin. Disney will only be responsible for providing funds and required team to execute his plans" John added. This new information surprised all, even Kevin. Though John once mentioned him vaguely that he had other plans for him but Kevin didn't expect that he had such a grand plan for him.
Having a subsidiary would give him total freedom and he could do anything he wanted. This was basically a dream job for him from being a small producer to taking the helm of a subsidiary of Disney. Though he wasn't sure what plans John had for him but he was looking forward to it.

Bob didn't give much heed to this new command as at the end of the day Disney would still be the boss.
After that, Bob started looking through the script and it excited him instantly after reading the whole plot. Such ambitious project had never been taken before by any studio and he was sure that if he could execute it perfectly, it would be a super hit movie.
This movie would require a huge team of VFX artists but Disney now had a huge command on many companies and had huge influence. It would be easier to hire good VFX artists.
"I know this movie doesn't have much potential like the other animated movies but this could be considered baby steps. You can choose any director but the final cut of the movie should pass through me. And yes don't put too many explosion scenes on the movie. Try to make it little realistic but futuristic enough. I have already drawn all the characters and even some glimpses of the fight scenes" John said.
"And yes finish the movie in 6 months and that's non negotiable" John added again.
Bob and the others were now accustomed to his tight schedule and didn't complain. Sometimes Bob wondered if John was haunted by something because he always gave them very tight schedule and it always felt John would run out of time.
After the proper discussion on the movie and the whole process everybody left except Kevin. John wanted to speak to him privately
"Kevin I would like to introduce to the story of a new theme. I would like you to be on a helm of a huge project and this would include superheros" John said to Kevin.
"Superheros? Like Captain America?" Kevin asked with raised eye brows.
"Yes like Captain America, these super heros will form a team and defend humanity in the movie, just like Captain America. This is a huge project and it will span over many years. I hope you are mentally ready for it." John said.

"Of course Boss. I would be happy to take this project. But do you have a story?" Kevin asked with excitement.
Immediately John submitted a script to Kevin and said "Take your time. Finish this project before the mid of 2008 and bring the director Christopher Nolan. I heard he is a great director."
"Sure boss". After going through the story he was little surprised because the starting of the story was almost exactly like Tony Stark but the trajectory of his life took a total different turn and turned out to be a superhero. And what more surprised him was the time he got for this story, that is almost over a year but he was delighted as he could change things according to the requirements.
Kevin could see a huge potential with the script and was really looking forward to working on this. John smiled at him because he knew that soon everything will change and he was looking forward to it.

The Empty Valley Cries Unheard
The stories can be read at any order. Phew, this story was finally finished at last! What could I say, it was a hell of a ride when I wrote it from the beginning to end. Thanks for having me on RR :D All the current chapter had already done a run on Grammarly, so hopefully it'd be more readable. ...kinda feeling lazy so calling off the edits for now. A couple of old / new attempts of combining Horror, Comedy and Absurdist elements. I'm not very good at writing Horror stories but I'd like to try once in a while. Although the first chapter may be completely screwed up, believe me--I mostly write fluffy gay scenes between two girls. It would PROBABLY become a lot lighter as we moved up the chapter count. Not for the faint of heart, but if you're like me who like some absurd or nonsensical stories, this might be right up your alley. Sorry in advance if some of the chapters seem normal lol additional tags : nonsense / absurd / parody

The Ancient Tree's Journey
On a planet far away from Earth, an ancient tree lives inside a beautiful forest. When the tree realises that its life is coming to an end, it creates a seed without a soul. The seed begins a long journey, being passed from person to person, until it finally collides with the soul of a girl from Earth and sprouts. With her human knowledge, the girl tries to survive in this world... as a tree. Note: This is my first time writing a novel, so my writing style might be a little rough around the edges sometimes, especially the first twelve are still amateur style. I'll probably rewrite them at some point... later perhaps. Also, the MC will be introduced in chapter 13. The first twelve chapters are more of an introduction to the world, so they bear little significance to the main story. Still, I recommend reading it if you want to get a better view of the world. Chapter releases once every four days.
