Billy left a relevant script about an adult TV show, tossing it in a key way; a comedy script based on the union of three people. Billy had already established the method that would make the series famous, taking small, low-quality movements from ordinary short films.
The call proposed by Jim Gianopulus for the creation of a short film first involved buying the copyright, along with a job request to make a long series. Newcomers Trey Parker and Matt Stone readily accepted the offer of $15,000 for the copyright and work on a large series production of at least 30 episodes.
-It's fantastic how a small series can be taken to a big series, - Trey Parker commented, visiting the entertainment office of executive assistant Anna Washington.
Trey Parker, a big man, writer, screenwriter, and comedian, has enjoyed some success over the past three years in some small and short productions. His raw sense of dark humor could be quite catchy for some people.
-We want you to try to run this company, of course with someone's help. Likewise, we invite you to be writers for the series if you believe you have the capability. However, our screenwriter has written 200 episodes. For now, the comedic aspect is enough for us, - Anna Washington commented.
Both of them were speechless, though selling the rights wasn't their thing; letting go of something of their own left a bad taste in their mouths. However, the invitation to direct, as well as the support to formalize their role as directors, was appreciated.
-Thank you, Miss Anna, for this great opportunity, - Trey Parker said.
-Business, the company's business seeking new forms of animation, and new ways to conceive characters, now with computer stop-motion technique, and through the 2D program, is just another way to enhance the technical team's capabilities... On the other hand, we'll make a deal with Comedy Central. They'll help in a small part of the production, and well, the show will be distributed on their programming. However, that negotiation must come to fruition, - Anna Washington commented, pleased with the way Jim had left his position in production; it was evident that she too was being tested.
-Very well, Miss, I'll notify Matt so that we can assemble a production team with Comedy. We'll shoot the pilot in the coming weeks, - Trey Parker said.
For the leaders of Comedy Central, their involvement with Lux Animation was a mystery.
-Keep me informed; negotiations are progressing with Comedy Central, - Anna responded.

The endless journey to acquire children's programming, and the inability to find children, highlights the need for a specialized channel committed solely to children's animation. For now, Hit Entertainment, along with Sesame Workshop under Disney, has its own kids' channel app.
Once again, Jim Gianopulus, with the help of Saban Haim's production, is spearheading animated channel production. Additionally, Sherly Leach, with the use of public television, has developed Barney programming airing on PBS, a channel that dominates a significant portion of children's television.
-I still think it's not a very smart idea to delve into different time zones on different TV channels, - Jim Gianopulus commented.
With a smooth smile, Saban Haim gladly accepted the fact that Saban's programming was so refreshing and provided a clear stamp on children's television production, which had flourished by taking on assignments. Lux Animation requested at least three fully animated children's programs.
-It's Billy's idea. We've requested to buy PBS and create a public channel for kids of better quality. Acquiring PBS Kids isn't something we desire, as the channel aims to be freely distributed on public television, although some revenue can be collected from advertising services. It all depends on whether they're willing to hand over the channel for Billy to expand educational television nationwide, - Saban commented.
-I used to think the same until the National Television Commission reviewed our proposal. They support the channel's use as long as it participates in public television. Billy will annex the channel to both public and private television. PBS didn't reject the purchase of licenses and the maintenance of the non-profit channel publicly, and a private channel that delivers similar programming, - Jim Gianopulus commented.
-Will there be any opposition? - Saban asked.
-Not at all, as long as it follows the structure of a children's channel and maintains the agreement. Everything else is just a matter of interest for some parties. Maintaining a channel is a cost, but children's animated television is cheaper due to its simple educational elements, - Jim, a total expert in the field of animated television, now working with Billy, whose main task is to organize everything related to channels, movies, and distribution. It's the biggest fight in animation, and while it initially competes with Disney, it's Warner that stands in the way of Lux Animation. This is due to the massive merger between ABC and Disney not yet completed, the union of multiple companies and their corporate positioning, along with the loss of Frank Wells. Now, Jeffrey's position has disrupted Disney's stance in the fight, and they only have the resources to continue with their animated group.
-Let's take a look, - Jim said.
Children's series need two things: neutral colors (bright colors cannot be exposed to children due to their early development), and simple scripts, with words spoken as fluently and slowly as possible.
They need something attention-grabbing beyond the spectacle, whether it's a bear, a dog, a dinosaur, a bird, or a man dressed in a certain way. Fashion conventions are simple, with colors like blue, green, pink, or yellow.
The first series consists of 25 episodes and is an animal series. Using 2D animation, animals from a part of the jungle have animated adventures, like searching for an oasis, a lost animal's mother, delicious food, or forest phenomena.
The next series features children in a school setting, where they attend classes that lead them on adventures. For example, colored doors, geometric shapes, and their faithful friend, an endearing puppy, used as a companion, where the children must give it instructions.
Another series is a live performance teaching everything there is to know about planets and stars, a slightly lower-grade documentary that's more educational than anything else. Still, it has cute animated drawings that make people laugh because of the presenter's humor. Each series has 25 episodes.

-I have to say, it's a very good script, - whispered Winona, taking note of the powerful script. It was a touching love story, along with a small book that had been released not long ago.
-It is. See why I say it's perfect for you? Even the first time I saw it, it was great. A second read made me realize it's a wonderful piece, - Billy commented, not lying. When he read the script, he didn't realize it had been read before, but he briefly remembered how magnificent the series was, one of the best films.
-You're an impossible man, - said Winona, throwing herself onto the grass next to the set, and looking at the blue sky. - I'll agree to the script, I'll do the movie... however, you should know that Gwyneth won't like us doing a movie together. Besides, I had no idea you two were dating. -
Billy relaxed next to Winona, took a deep breath, and rested in the sun. Yesterday, they had done numerous scenes, one of which was the night date. Due to his more emphatic performance, the director gave him a bit more screen time, and he was able to solidify the contradiction of the boyfriend against the bright and sunny fiancé.
-We're not dating, we don't have the relationship you might think... she has taught me a lot about women, about people, and has helped me navigate different waters, - Billy said calmly, taking a spot on the grass. The tree's shade allowed them to cover from the sun, but there was no doubt the days were quite long near the desert, and the nights warm, contrary to what was thought about the cold. He had acted foolishly, like a complete novice, something that still disappointed him. His emotions were out of place, his actions out of place, living in a world that annoyed him.
Doubting how to repay Gwyneth, even if he wanted to, he loved Alice much more than he did Gwyneth.
-We're not dating. She is a willful woman, jealous, sometimes superficial, and possessive. On the other hand, she's sweet, loving, permissive, lively, and homely. We have an understanding. I'll explain the situation to her. Besides, we have a promise to act together. Sometimes, she is an excellent actress, and other times, she's nothing more than a spoiled child, - Billy commented.
-Gwyneth can be very reasonable when she wants to be... besides, I'll do everything possible to reach an understanding. It's not my intention to cause fights between you two. She is a good friend, - Winona responded.
Both found comfort in their friendship, not without annoying each other, but understanding. The next take they were filming would be the last of the movie, the moment when Finn's thesis pages fly all over the place, the moment to provide some conclusions and pave the way for an ending, chosen by myth and superstition, but representing love, a love that helps.
Billy took note and continued with his course, the last scene a brief moment of handling, while continuing with his performance.

Billy left the set in the mid-afternoon with a sense of urgency; his interaction with Winona had proven more beneficial than he initially thought. Taking the route to Los Angeles, he faced a long drive to the Fox studios for the filming of the new and challenging Nixon biopic. This film, with a raw and firm portrayal of Nixon's life, promised to be a worthwhile watch. Anthony Hopkins' performance was magnificent, albeit somewhat lacking in certain parts.
Billy was to perform a minor role as Harold Nixon, the brother who died of tuberculosis. Harold's death haunted Nixon, marking him deeply. His brother's passing, after providing Nixon the opportunity to attend university, influenced Nixon's rise in politics, ultimately leading him to the presidential race. The film uniquely oscillates between Nixon's past and his future presidency, underscoring the importance of his early experiences.
-Come in, Mr. Carson, we've been expecting you, - said an assistant. Billy, now clean-shaven with slightly longer hair and loose clothing, looked like a teenager after a few touch-ups. The black-and-white filming was set to contrast the past and present.
-Thank you, - Billy replied. Accompanied by his bodyguard and a newly hired assistant named Rosa, who was appointed by Jim Waitt. Rosa, a 34-year-old woman with large round glasses and a traditional dress, was his new secretary.
Billy navigated the recording studio, noting everything he needed to do. Rosa stood in a corner, watching him with apprehension.
-Rosa, can you contact Ian McCalle's assistant to inform them of my delay? Also, call Anne to arrange the next meeting with Apple. You have until 5 PM when we wrap up filming. I won't need you for much more today. Speak with Anne for any further questions, and be ready to study all the companies and my contact list with me tomorrow morning before we head to the studio, - Billy instructed.
-Yes, sir, -Rosa responded, ready for the opportunity.
-Good. Make sure to call Anne; she will talk to Margot. You'll be communicating with Margot often, - Billy added.
Without further delay, Billy immersed himself in his work, focusing on his script and preparations. Working with child actors made filming more complex and required short, efficient takes. Adult actors often had to adjust their performances to support the children, who might need several takes for the same scene.
The first scene was set in a house, studio, and convenience store owned by the Nixons. Filming is primarily centered there. With a child actor in a supporting role, filming was more challenging, requiring patience and multiple takes to capture the right moments.
Billy finished his scenes exhausted. The day had little to no breaks, and Anthony Hopkins was notably absent, leaving the crew to focus on other scenes.
