The morning of August 5, there was a meeting between John and the management of Disney for a new route to the company. This time only Val accompanied him and Jameson didn't join as he felt his son was big enough now to take major decisions.
Early morning he came to the studio and met with all the senior management and they all settled down in the meeting room.
"Well as I have informed earlier the company will now start creating sci-fi and even real life movies. But the story and the script of the movies should always go through me. Mostly the scripts will be proposed by me and if any of the script writers hired by the company comes up with a reliable story I will consider it" John said. Disney was always controlled solely by John as he didn't want any public or outside interference. He had the last say in the studio, even though Bob looked after all the management issues but the final say was still under the hands of John.
"I know that you all have been too eager for this so here I have a story for you. And to inform you that Kevin will take a new role in the company as the head of a subsidiary of Disney. Disney will never interfere in the works of Kevin. Disney will only be responsible for providing funds and required team to execute his plans" John added. This new information surprised all, even Kevin. Though John once mentioned him vaguely that he had other plans for him but Kevin didn't expect that he had such a grand plan for him.
Having a subsidiary would give him total freedom and he could do anything he wanted. This was basically a dream job for him from being a small producer to taking the helm of a subsidiary of Disney. Though he wasn't sure what plans John had for him but he was looking forward to it.
Bob didn't give much heed to this new command as at the end of the day Disney would still be the boss.
After that, Bob started looking through the script and it excited him instantly after reading the whole plot. Such ambitious project had never been taken before by any studio and he was sure that if he could execute it perfectly, it would be a super hit movie.
This movie would require a huge team of VFX artists but Disney now had a huge command on many companies and had huge influence. It would be easier to hire good VFX artists.
"I know this movie doesn't have much potential like the other animated movies but this could be considered baby steps. You can choose any director but the final cut of the movie should pass through me. And yes don't put too many explosion scenes on the movie. Try to make it little realistic but futuristic enough. I have already drawn all the characters and even some glimpses of the fight scenes" John said.
"And yes finish the movie in 6 months and that's non negotiable" John added again.
Bob and the others were now accustomed to his tight schedule and didn't complain. Sometimes Bob wondered if John was haunted by something because he always gave them very tight schedule and it always felt John would run out of time.
After the proper discussion on the movie and the whole process everybody left except Kevin. John wanted to speak to him privately
"Kevin I would like to introduce to the story of a new theme. I would like you to be on a helm of a huge project and this would include superheros" John said to Kevin.
"Superheros? Like Captain America?" Kevin asked with raised eye brows.
"Yes like Captain America, these super heros will form a team and defend humanity in the movie, just like Captain America. This is a huge project and it will span over many years. I hope you are mentally ready for it." John said.
"Of course Boss. I would be happy to take this project. But do you have a story?" Kevin asked with excitement.
Immediately John submitted a script to Kevin and said "Take your time. Finish this project before the mid of 2008 and bring the director Christopher Nolan. I heard he is a great director."
"Sure boss". After going through the story he was little surprised because the starting of the story was almost exactly like Tony Stark but the trajectory of his life took a total different turn and turned out to be a superhero. And what more surprised him was the time he got for this story, that is almost over a year but he was delighted as he could change things according to the requirements.
Kevin could see a huge potential with the script and was really looking forward to working on this. John smiled at him because he knew that soon everything will change and he was looking forward to it.
Soon Disney started working on the project that John had given a timeline for. The VFX artists of this world were much better than the previous world. John guessed it probably was because of the influence of Tony Stark and Quentin Beck as they were way ahead of their time when it comes to virtual projection. It might even have the hands of Phastos, one of the eternals behind the advancement of VFX artists and virtual projection.
John decided to follow the normal process of releasing trailers on various social media and YouTube. Yes John had already incorporated YouTube with google and even made sure there were proper administrators so that the future YouTube creators would have a solid platform.
The trailer started with a high school boy going with his dad to buy a car and then the shopkeeper mentions that it's not the man who choose the car but it's the car who choose the drivers. The boy then sat on a yellow Camaro and saw a weird sign in the middle of the steering wheel. Later the boy realized that the car could transform and then the trailer showed a glimpse of the story and various fighting scenes.
Yes the movie John chose was Transformers for his debut in real film making. Even though the later parts of the movie didn't fare good but the first movie was a brilliant one. John banked on the fact that man have love for machines and robots so this movie would appeal to all.
As soon as the trailer was out, it went viral and people loved it. Disney announced their step in film making apart from animation with a bang. The trailer went so viral that even Tony Stark commented on the comments section on YouTube that he would love to watch the movie and he was looking forward to it. This comment alone garnered more likes than the actual movie.
John was surprised by this but he gave a grin to it. He just got free publicity, so how could he complain. He just hoped that this wouldn't create any butterfly effect. That's all he cared about as he didn't want to influence his destiny too much before he transforms into Iron Man.
By January 2007, the movie was ready and it received a red carpet movie premiere on 2nd of February.
John arrived with his family. It was a star studded red carpet as many known stars of Hollywood attended. Soon reporters asked for an interview which he happily obliged.
"Mr. John is this movie your creative debut in the circle of movie making? Are there more movies that Disney has decided to release?" one reporter asked.
"Yes, this could be said as the debut of Disney in movie making and yes there are other projects that we have lined up but it will take time to come to life" John replied.
"Mr. John will Disney stop making animated movies now?" Another reporter asked.
"Of course not. Disney's love for animated movies and series will continue and we also have corresponding projects" John replied with a smile.
Then another reporter suddenly asked "Mr. John we have seen massive turnover with the series of Naruto but why did you choose a foreign studio for it's development. Do you feel that the animation level of USA can't reach the level of Japan?"
This question suddenly brought a wave of silence among the reporters as this touched a very sensitive topic. John's eye brows raised with the question but he replied with a smile.
"Of course the animation of USA is of very high level. Didn't we always make animated movie based on our country. I chose Japan for the development of Naruto because their studio was more suitable for these kind of projects and Disney had too much of work with all the animation movies. Plus the story of Naruto is not actually mine. It was a Japanese friend of mine who told me once about it and I just brought the story to life". After this answer the reporter couldn't refute his claims as the life of John was pretty private and they knew almost nothing of his social life.
Suddenly a sports Audi car arrived near the carpet end and a handsome man with goatee beard came out. It was Tony Stark. The appearance of Tony surprised John because according to rumors he never comes early in any event. John thought it was probably due to his love for machines and engineering.
Soon the reporters who were flocking John went straight to Tony as the life of Tony was more interesting than the bland and boring life of John. John in these few years didn't have any relationship with anyone even though he had received many advances from almost everywhere. From school to charity events. Every young girl teenager would show goodwill to John.
John was a handsome and rich guy which appealed to many but he politely refused and so the reporters couldn't dig out any spicy story from him. In addition he had too much influence on social media so nobody dared to say anything bad on his life.
I would be happy if I received some power stones.. Hahaha.. Thank you all for the support
