7:30 pm. Fashion event.
Jas Caron observed Billy, sothing he already knew was happening under the guise of Jim Waitt facilitating Billy's schedule for the week. He hugged him because what was coming next was sothing he needed to do, and Billy would understand. Jim was clear that one of Billy's traits was his business maturity and seriousness in technical characters, typical of administration and work.
-Boy, you're a man now, - said Jas Caron.
-Mr. Caron, - said Billy, reciprocating Jas Caron's hug.
-Not at all Mr. Caron, call Jas, but if we have the opportunity to work, Mr. Caron would be fine, - said Jas Caron.
-Jas, then. I didn't expect to see that the Caneli brand was so lucky to have such stars on its sponsorship roster, - said Billy.
Jas tried to look at the boy; he's not a businessman who can ride the waves for nothing. He slls sothing. He thought. The director combed his hair, which bothered his view, and pondered the response.
-I owed a favor, and Jim Waitt was very insistent, - said Jas.
-What we do for work, I'm still amazed at the relationships that seep through the hallways, - said Billy.
-No kidding, kid, it's necessary. If you want to succeed, try to be better than a politician. They scrutinize every little thing you say. Here, image, guarantee, and money are everything, - said Jas Caron.
-I can assu sothing; in my ti and conversations with Jim, I've understood so things, - said Billy, who, although to Caron, seed to be aware of Caron's motive, it was quite the opposite. He was surprised because Jas valued hard work a lot.
-Well, no doubt you've understood it, -- said Caron, with a good impression of the sensible young man. -- I've followed so of your work; you're magnificent with the pen. I keep insisting that we would have a great director if you joined the guild; your talent is formidable. -
-Thank you, but I want to continue studying as an actor, although with a broader vision, directing doesn't sound so bad, - said Billy.
-I'm clear on that. On the other hand, I regret the end of the Evangelion series; it brings back many forgotten references, and I may one day submit a script to make a movie, - said Jas Caron.
In a programd flattery.
-That sounds nice, - said Billy, captivated by the idea. If it's Jas Caron, he can give him Evangelion; he's known for having fabulous ideas in creating science fiction movies, special effects, and providing technological advances.
Jas looked at his wristwatch. - I have to go, but I'd like to have a conversation with you. We'll have a eting, a small party. I'd like you to attend and tell about your progress. I've heard good reviews of so writers and animators, - said Jas.
Billy looked at the three girls at the table, not wanting to leave them.
-I have companions, and I don't think I can leave them suddenly, - said Billy.
Caron looked at the girls, all actresses. - Bring them. Moreover, let extend an olive branch, - said Caron, walking towards the girls.

9:45 pm, The Bowery Hotel.
Jas Caron glanced at the ti, 9:47 at night, with a hint of secrecy; the call to Billy and the invitation was a thodically planned gesture. Why else would he agree to join a suit cody for such a ridiculous price? To repay a favor, a favor that he would now repay after the secret eting he held between Billy Carson and Steven Spielberg, it is no longer a secret that the acclaid film director wants to create his own film company to compete against the big ones; the investnts Steven Spielberg has made are no joke, even if no one says it, the tacit support of Universal Studios is current, the film production company Amblin Entertainnt is closely following with Universal.
The Hollywood undercurrents, no one does not know Billy Carson, the quintessential Arican, a young entrepreneur, hardworking, and innovative. The big bosses have him in their sights; he has bravely weathered the waves set by Warner, Disney, Paramount, and Fox.
They have all sohow blocked his exits, but the boy is already accepted among the public as a half-hearted industry leader. Jas has to guide Billy to the celebration with the industry bosses, and he will fulfill part of the favor; then, he will have to introduce him to so people who want to do business behind the scenes, sothing the very young boy won't grasp. Although Jas doesn't underestimate him, the feats of Lux Animation are known, from Pixar to the categorical hiring of animators that hasn't happened since Disney expanded its animation hall in 1950, to its successes in comics and very savvy business achievents in fast food, Autodesk, video gas, ventures, and 3D technology.
Even Jas himself wants to talk about the advantages of filming in 3D!
The visionaries of Hollywood know that new blood is always welco, and more so when the weight is on a young, purebred Arican who grew up in California, who knows the dium and now acts. Now he acts! Soon, he could be a director who joins the bottom of the Hollywood mainstream board, firmly establishing an advantageous position for the old guard of the industry.
-I talked to him. I even invited his companions. Your dear goddaughter was there; I was surprised, but little Paltrow was in the boy's group, - Jas Caron said to Steven Spielberg.
-My goddaughter is a surprise. All my goddaughters are a surprise, - Steven said. Alongside him were David Geffen, his wife Kate Capshaw, Tom Hanks, a na that speaks for itself, Stanley Kubrick, Francis Coppola, and Robert Zeckis.
A fearso lineup. Not far away, the Weinstein twins were having drinks, young and different, engaging in small talk with Bob Baker, Disney's advertising director. In the distance, Michael Eisner (Disney's president), along with Ron yer (Universal Studios executive), engaged in a heated conversation, leaving them both at a table while their companions chatted calmly, ignoring and forgetting words, as it should always be.
Frank Biandi Jr. (president and CEO of Viacom Inc), alongside John Calley (Sony Pictures president), Terry Sel (Warner's joint president), and others, all presidents and big bosses of the industry. There were so actors, but they were few. They were followed by the magnates in the middle, Rupert Murdoch (dia and entertainnt investor, owner of Fox), casually chatting at Frank Biandi Jr.'s table.
Well, scattered around, there was a grand piano, so other investors, models, supermodels roaming the halls, beauty queens, and other birds in the area, unaware faces. But balance was needed; a party composed solely of n in suits did not constitute a festive atmosphere.
In the room, it was no secret that Steven wanted to start his own company. Even the initial capital was provided by Universal Studios; concessions were made here and there, but the starting amount belonged to Universal.
-Jim assured the boy would co. The girls decided to change and freshen up; I lent them the limousine to co. It's a done deal, - Caron said.
-I'm glad. I've been curious to et this hurricane for so ti now, - David Geffen said.
-A fox, that's what he is. He convinced George to join him. Whatever he said to him must have been magnificent. But the boy must have sothing for that old stubborn man to join and allow a stranger to have a say in his franchise, - Francis said.
The table was silent; only those who had to speak spoke. Even Caron preferred not to express an opinion and remain silent. Robert Zeckis whispered things with his wife Mary Ellen Trainor. After the big success of Forrest Gump and his involvent in Braveheart, Robert Zeckis urged the industry to recognize him more, and his seat at the current table ant sothing.
