Billy returo San Jose the m. As Lux Animation reparing for its ongoing transformations, having started colborating with Japaudios to unleash animated series, expand its catalog, and double the series in produ, Billy was able tanize various attats, such as the purchase of 25% of edy tral and the creation of a el aimed at adult programming, set to unch the following year.

  The most important matter was the new offer from Ambliertai. The approach had been ongoing for some time, but the proposal's terms were highly unbanced, and Jim Gianopulos refused it.

  Then Amblis influeo draw attention, with Steven Spielberg himself knog on Billy's door. As one of Amblin's founders and having a particurly close retionship with them, Steven agreed to work oar Wars saga to foster a camaraderie-based retionship, where mutual help was the key.

  Thus, at Universal Studios, and from a secluded station, Billy, with sharp eyes, watched how to resolve the issue with Spielberg. With this, they would fulfill the payment bah Star Wars, though he doubted Steven saw it that way. Therefore, the only option was to open a back door, erase the issue from their minds, aablish a genuine colboratioween them.

  -I uand, Steven. I’ll make the arras. From Lux Animation, we are willing to assist in the produ and distribution of this film,- Billy ented, nursing a headache, with pre-produ expected to begin in February 1997, leaving ample time to start preparations.

  -It's great that we solve this so easily,- Steven remarked.

  -It's because I trust you'll make a good movie. However, my guarantees have been stated. You will enjoy the national and iional box office, along with the first year of DVD promotion. I will collect 30% in the following years,- Billy added.

  His primary was expanding his movie produ capacity, as he currently only had films under his name.

  -Of course… that's a minor issue,- Steven said, seeing the dolrs in this movie. Now that it's easy to make some mohrough Amblin, it's much easier if Billy, one of the most prehensive distributors, ha, except for Orion and TriStar Pictures.

  -Very well, it’s good to know you think that way…- Billy pondered his words. To buy or not to buy the digital library of cht? For now, he hoped to acquire a few more films from Carolco Pictures.

  -Don't worry, kid. I hope you have some free time because DreamWorks has already started its television produs. It's good to have a friendly hand to help with DreamWorks,- Steven ented.

  -No problem, I'll help in any way I … We're recruiting some good designers and programmers fame development. I have a game in mind that could be particurly successful, something rarely seen in the video game world with new 3D teologies,- Billy said.

  This caught Steven's attention, known for his love of video games, even from before. He had some unfulfilled dreams with Atari, but it was a signifit failure after Atari's development.

  -Why not use Amblin to unleash that creative genius?- Billy asked.

  -Amblin is a Universal produ pany, to put it simply. Although we don't have the same tract as many new panies, we do have an obligation to present most of our work to Universal. They decide for us most of the time, even the founders are Universal employees, and for that reason, I distance myself. DreamWorks ot be shackled,- Spielberg ented.

  -I see the reason why,- Billy said. Perhaps it was his distribution pany that gained freedom iain areas. With his business dealings with exhibition panies, his factory could slowly expand its distribution, which is what made him so attractive to Spielberg. For now, Spielberg nning to create his own distribution pany.

  -Be careful with that. Normally, distribution has to be shared with a studio occasionally to avoid mortality rates with the MPAA. Having a position there help you achieve better reach,- Steven ented.

  -I still don't uand the politics of ema. You work under a bel while they distribute, but why?-

  -Money, it's always a matter of money. Usually, it's doo satisfy and share financial burdens. For example, bia executives sponsored your distribution activities to adjust Disney's movie schedule. There are certain fris there, but also to make money ahe waters with your pany. You're just very good at making money,- Steven ughed at the st part, but the game is a bance. Whoever bah different studios has the advantage.

  -I suppose w with Amblin is like w with Universal... in that se's just a statement,- Billy ented.

  -It be seen that way, but we have freedom. Even now, many panies, although materially headed by a studio, have an artistic idea and business guidahat isn't tied to the studio. Miramax has had problems, and it's the exact opposite,- Steven said.

  Billy thought about Miramax. If he could buy it and merge it with Lux Films, it would be enough t his own New ema into the game, which he needed as soon as possible. The issues with Star Wars were different due to the produ and help of Gee Lucas, but for Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, he might need his group.

  -Let's tinue... we o address everything about DreamWorks. By the way, will you help me establish retions with the MPAA? - Billy asked, keeping his thoughts to himself.

  ***

  Monica received Billy's message that same night... - Don't leave Los Angeles, I'll be there shortly. Go to the Haptom Hotel, I have a reservation for you -

  So authoritative, the older woman only wanted someoo solve all her problems so she could set the pace of the retionship. That's why her previous retionship ended.

  -Sure, - she could only say.

  Her modeling day ended, and she chatted with some of her colleagues when Billy's agent, Jim Waitt, approached. It was the first time she saw the man who facilitated buying her bre trad managing it himself.

  -Monica, a pleasure... Billy sends his regards, and we have good news. I spoke with Volkswagen, and they gave me the green light to schedule a sponsorship with Audi. Our idea is to extend Audi's tract for you, which ted. Billy personally anticipated this and bought four cars, two for Los Awo for New York, and perhaps one for Italy,- Jim Waitt said.

  -Me representing the Audi brand,- the Italian ented, emphasizing her at o word. The car brands are fantastic.

  -That's the idea. I'll take you to pick up the car. Additionally, using the Volkswagen group for their growth, they have acquired many brands,- Jim Waitt said.

  This was just the beginning, from runractice to Billy's focus solely on modeling. Now, she could see why his retionships were separate matters.
