บท 10: Disney and movies

Since Mark was a single guy the contract negotiations were easier and he also advised him to take the help of his friends while making the website for Facebook as he would need it.

It's still 1 year before the official Facebook to launch. But John just wanted to kick start the whole process. Also, John asked his father to acquire all the remaining stocks for Amazon as that too would be a very big company later. In 2002 Amazon was just taking it's baby steps and many people would be happy to sell their stocks. Of course it should be done very silently otherwise the market price will fluctuate because of it. Jameson assured to John that he would do it as he was using the money from the turnover of the Lion king.

John knew that these small moves of him would solidify his position politically in the future so that no government could even think of toppling his empire later as they tried to do so with Tony in his previous universe. Tony had support of SHIELD but had no one to rely on. He could only rely on himself and his prophetic knowledge.

By December 1st all three returned to Manhattan as John had to start working on his new projects. And Jameson too had to return to his work.

John as usual joined school and worked on new movies such like Toy story, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast and such other animated movies. Even though he couldn't remember all the movies he could bring their copies at the expense of fan values from the original world.

Beauty and the Beast (copy) - 50,000 fan value

Toy Story (copy) - 60,000 fan value

...

John spent a total of 500,000 fan values on all the copies he could remember of Disney animated movies and started working on the drawing. He had a hunch that he needed a massive amount of fan values to bring a whole world to life especially the world he was aiming for.

By January he was ready with another series of arts with all the music required for the new movie Aladdin and Toy Story. He called upon Rob again for directing this animated movie and gave him an idea of how the movie would look like. Rob was instantly excited after hearing the story and was looking forward. Rob assured him that the movie would be complete as soon as possible.

Rob came for the meeting with another director as John asked for it. The director was handed over the story of Toy Story. And this time too John said specifically of how to handle the story.

Both the directors came out of the home of Jameson with a smiling face as they knew the stories in their hands would kick up a storm again.

Jameson was really worried at this point for his son as he could see all he cared about were the animated movies.

"Son I think you should take some rest after this. You have worked hard the past month" Jameson said with a heavy heart. He hoped his son wouldn't become a workaholic like himself and give less time to his family.

Jameson always blamed himself for not noticing the cancer of his late wife due to his over work. By the time he realized it was already late. John could understand his concerns but how could he tell him that if doesn't work hard now it would be too late for him in the future and his destiny wouldn't be in his own hands. He could never allow such thing to happen.

"Dad don't worry, it isn't a lifetime work. I just need a strong platform for myself to work upon in future and live life the way I dream upon." John said. He could even see the concern in Val's eyes too but he couldn't say anything now. Only time would judge of how correct his decisions were now.

"Dad how about starting a new studio company like the ones in Hollywood?" John said after thinking quite a bit of time.

"You mean like the Warner Brothers?" Jameson said as he surprised by his idea.

"Yes dad! We can't always go to other studios for proper management. You can spearhead this whole creation and leave it to proper management for all my upcoming works. I could just direct some artists and animation experts for all my works and my burden will also lessen down." John said sincerely.

"That's a good idea! What will you name the company since it's your brainchild?" Jameson asked.

"How about the name Disney?" John asked with a smile.
