Reborn to Dominate Hollywood

The day after meeting with the CEO of Kubo Pictures, Ian went to meet Mason with the script for La La Land. He decided to buy coffee to make the morning more pleasant.

"Good morning, Uncle Mason." Ian walks in and puts his coffee on the table while Mason greets him back.

"Is this a script?" Mason asked.

"yes, look at that," Ian sat directly across from him as Mason began to read the script.

They all fell silent, and Mason kept flipping through the pages, trying to understand the storyline.

A few minutes passed.

"It's very well written, and I think it's going to change Hollywood

" Ian listened to him and laughed genuinely, "I did analyze how good the musical could be after listening to you that day, but I think this movie can do a lot better and will make a lot of money." The field has changed, mainly because it's not the typical musical film that exists in the industry," Ian admits.

But in reality, even when deciding on a film, he knows everything about the current trends in the industry and how difficult it would be if they decided to make a musical but it didn't turn out well. This is a huge risk.

"Do you want to direct this too?" Mason asked suddenly.

"Yes, I've already planned the outcome of the shoot. It's also easy because it's possible to shoot scenes in places around Los Angeles. Hollywood. Of course," Ian smiled and emphasized "of course."

Since La La Land is a movie set in and around Hollywood, things are a lot easier for them. Get some permission here and there, and everything else will go smoothly.

"Hmm... The silhouette is good. Mason said. Because of his thoughts, Ian is texting John to meet him later. "I'll read the whole script and tell you tomorrow,"

Mason said as he flipped through the pages, his curiosity growing with each line.

Ian got up from where he was sitting and walked around the studio. He saw how Mason posted an article next to the exit door of the studio in which he wrote something about Home Alone and how it became a success. In addition to that article, there are several articles about the successful film that Reina released a few years ago.

"Renas was successful with the romantic comedy 'It's a Kind of Only'". Ian has been reading this article and it explains how the romantic comedy "It's a Kind of One" exploded in popularity a decade ago. It was directed by Ian's father, Henry Rayner. Unfortunately, the hype lasted less than five years. The article shows how it spread locally and how proud Henry Rayner was when he spoke about it to some local media outlets. This post has a short summary from a quick interview faced by Henry Rayner.

"We tried to connect with the feelings of young people through this film, and with such success, I believe it will become a blockbuster." Special thanks to my friend Mason and our entire staff and acting staff. That's all, thank you,"

Ian walked back to the table after reading it, and saw the script on the table. Mason's eyes watched every step Ian took. This is because he has never met Ian and wants to read or understand anything that Henry Renner is doing in the studio.

"I'll finish reading it today, and I'll talk about the script tomorrow. I've ordered some equipment online and they should arrive within two weeks. Other things like cameras, lenses, tripods, sound equipment... I was going to wait until we found the staff to go shopping

," "yes, I'm going to talk to John about the crew today, and uncle, we have enough money now, let's use the best and most durable equipment." Don't wait, we're going to start filming. "As soon as possible, I'm sure anyone will use branded devices, as long as they're durable,"

Mason thought for a moment, knowing that Ian was right. They made about $350 million from Little Ghost Homes. It also means they have enough money to deal with things before the next movie starts.

"Well, okay, I'll do it today. Oh, and before you came today, I talked to the architect about the renovation," Ian said 'oh'. "yes, the renovation will start soon, about next week. She will come to see us tomorrow to show her plans and designs, and you will finally have your own office.

Ian smiled and nodded. Having a space where he can work alone sounds good to him. "I'll book us a place to work during the renovation period, and we have other things to do until then."

"Employees?" Mason asked immediately.

"Yes, employees. I would ask John about the staff behind the camera, can you recruit some people to work around the office? I mean, we're definitely going to need a little bit more help over time. Especially La La Land.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it and schedule interviews for the rest."

-

Ian is in the bar waiting for his good old friend to come and ask for more help. Ever since John went to the theater with Ian on "The Big Day", he has been even busier with the international export business.

Ian saw John approaching and smiled and ordered the same drink they had that day.

"How are you doing?" Ian tries to break the ice.

"It's too busy. I felt more tired because I wasn't doing what I liked. However, time has taught me a lot. They're all used to it. What about you, great director?

John asked, but Ian saw that John looked like he hadn't slept in days. John's bags under his eyes and the red lines in his eyes were obvious. Ian was most worried.

"I did a very good job. Home Alone is very popular. But man, look at you. You should take care of yourself more, you don't look good

," "I know, less nonsense. Don't care about me now, know what you want to ask. I've been busy working on a deal these days that will be done in the next day or two. Yes—" John was interrupted as the waitress brought their drinks.

"Hmm... You mean? "

Home Alone... I didn't expect it to be so powerful, I heard that you want to sell international copyrights? Ian took a sip of his wine and nodded with a smile, "That's even more powerful, I didn't expect my uncle's staff to be so useful, I'm hopeless, you know." "

yes, figured it out. That's the main reason I want to see you today

," John laughed out loud, "I thought so, for friendship.

This brought a smile to Ian's face because, despite how strange John was to him, the fact that John had come all the way to see him made Ian at least have some gratitude.

"That's too. But, John... What are the team members doing these days? "

Hmm... Several short films have been made in the past few months. Other than that, my assistant didn't really give me the latest news on this. Do you want it?

Ian nodded and continued to drink with John.

"I want to buy your uncle's company." Hearing this, John almost choked on the wine, but he came back to his senses in the next second.

Ian thought about it for a long time. While budgeting with the profits they will make next week, Ian knows he can buy Uncle John's company and offer him a reasonable price.

"That's... That's great, you know the situation now, I wouldn't have gone back to make movies sooner, they need work, I'll arrange it as soon as possible, but I need 30% of the shares.

Surprisingly, John agreed without even thinking about it. Ian was more than willing to convince him to buy the company because he knew it meant a lot to him... Emotionally, because of his history.

"I didn't expect you to say yes easily

," "I didn't want to, but this time, reality is what matters." Can't be selfish about anything, I'm sure you'll do well with Renas. It would be a great help to join my uncle's company, and my uncle must be proud of me now, not like I gave it all

away," "Well, that makes sense

" "By the way, there won't be a new movie?" John asked....

It was a blur all night.

The bar where they decided to meet was exceptionally quiet and peaceful. The sun was setting outside, and the two of them were almost drunk, and the joke was loud for a while. Either way, the attention they received from the ladies did not diminish in the slightest.

More than 3/4 of the people in the bar knew who one of the two gentlemen was, and the ladies came over from time to time to make small talk while trying to seduce both of them or at least one of them. Mainly because they wear suits that look expensive, but Ian's case is exceptional. Still, until they walked out of the bar, the attention didn't seem to stop.
