Among the big bosses, there are many names, but some words are undeniably powerful minds that stand above the ordinary workers.

  Now, some important figures are sitting at the iation table. Terry Semel, the vice president of Warner Bros., is one of the top administrators of the pany. He works behind the ses, managing all the pany's projects and handling various issues. He iates with producers, handles legal matters, and is highly skilled in diplomatic retions, bined with an eagle eye for talent that is only matched by great producers, like the otio him.

  Tim Burton, the master of a uyle, was io watch the Batman series. He asked for a pce to find inspiration for his uping movie "Batmaurns," set to be released in the ing months.

  Along with them is Ted Turhe head of TNT, TBS, MGM, and New Line ema. These are important members, sitting in the meeting to discuss the elevision el. The feren is being used as a dining area today, as privacy is much more important than elegance for these big bosses.

  -I liked the new programs you made. The test one has a novel idea. Who is the creator of this animated show? - Tim Burton asked.

  -He's not from Hanna-Barbera, - said Ted Turner.

  -That's not the case. A young kid started publishing a new kind of ic. Our representative and project director at Cartoowork, Betty , reviewed numerous animated drawings, and among them, she was most impressed with this emerging pany called Lux ics. They have released a total of 9 series, all iing and well-designed, - said Terry Semel.

  -Oh, you know everything, - joked Ted Turner.

  -Not at all. I've been w hard oing the el. These past months have been busy for me. You didn't make it easy, Ted. The acquisition of your pany was costly, winding, ahy, - Terry said with a symbolic smile.

  -e on, I gave it to you cheap! - Ted ughed.

  -I want to meet this Betty, - said Bob Daley.

  Bob Daley is the Director of Eai for all of Warner. He oversees V produs, short films, feature films, and ercials. His relentless activity at Warner has earned him reition among his bosses.

  -Stop by Hanna-Barbera; it's our animatiohe budget for creating a udio hasn't bee yet. We're waiting to see how these new series impact the market before creating our studio, -- Terry Semel murmured, irely vihey have spent a lot of mohis year—millions of dolrs on the acquisition of Hanna-Barbera, the produ of the series, the creation of the elevision el, and payments for equipment, personnel, tent acquisition, advertising, and initial distribution fees.

  -Everything iime, - said Ted Turner.

  -When does your new movie premiere, Tim? - Ted Turner asked Tim Burton.

  -Edward Scissorhands will premiere on December 14th. It stars Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder and is undoubtedly a cult cssic, just like the movies Tim Burton is known for. It will have that unmistakable Tim Burton style, - Tim Burton replied, sipping his third gss of wine.

  -December 14th, impressive. It's been a good few years for you, Tim, - said Bob Daley, who has been following Tim's career sihe release of Batman in 1989.

  -Well, gentlemen, I have another meeting to attend, - Terry Semel said, nodding to Bob Daley.

  -I have a party to attend, - Tim Burton joked.

  The simple meeting cluded, with some bad-forth in the boardroom. The oak-paneled wood was stained in some spots, giving the room a touch of character.

  Terry Semel joined Bob Daley on a jouro their meeting. The trip was filled with a sileypical of these two individuals, who only spoke about importaails or when their presence was necessary.

  Oher hand, Billy had been waiting in a feren for half an hour and could only mao eat some snacks to fill his stomach.

  -Look, young man, I ordered some food, and it seems it has arrived, - said Betty, as she saw the assistant bringing in some sandwiches.

  -Thank you, Ms. . It was our mistake, but the day hasn't allowed us to enjoy a proper meal, - Anne replied.

  -No problem, it's my fault for pnning such a rushed meeting. You've missed your lunch hour, - said Betty .

  Oh, important people, always making others wait. Billy currently just wants to leave all these meetings behind ahese bureaucratic procedures are not something he deal with calmly.

  Mr. Terry Semel proceeded to open the door, followed by his colleague. Everything was ready, but there was ohiy hadn't addressed—she had received offers to start a of toys and other minor details to gee more io support the cost of the new el, but the discussion ended up dissuading her, and Terry took charge of the iation.

  -Good afternoon, everyone, - Terry Semel said, looking renewed with a plete 180-degree ge. iations are his workspace, and this is his court. He feels almost like Superman after taking off his gsses.

  -Terry, what a pleasure, - Betty said effusively.

  -Ah, Betty, it's great to see you so radiant, - Terry replied.

  Bob Daley greeted Betty cordially and stopped to discuss some work-reted matters while Terry Semel went to a desk and asked for four white sheets of paper and a pe in front of Billy and waited for everyoo take their seats.

  -Alright, now we begin our meeting, - Terry Semel said, rolling up his sleeves.

  Betty cleared her throat, her posture now different from her fident demeanor during their numerous ings and goings. After all, Terry Semel is not an easy person to deal with.

  -Billy, our vice president wants to inquire about the future of our partnership, as well as the marketing of "Informe Fantasma," - said Betty .

  -Very true, you hit the nail on the head, Betty. First, I'd like to duct a small interview. Everyone has been talking about your drawing skills, but seeing is believing. you show me your talent live? I'm eager to see your abilities, - said Terry Semel, handing Billy a few sheets of paper.

  -But... a new drawing? I don't quite uand how to showcase my abilities, - said Billy.

  -Whatever you like. Just show me some of your talents, - replied Terry Semel.

  Billy thought and quickly drew a rendition of Batman, showg an improved design remi of the DC films from the 2010s. The awkward silence was broken by Terry Semel humming to himself.

  He sidered drawing somethihe animated Batman is one of the distinctive characters of the work, and redrawing an unseen version could truly test his skills.

  --Ready, -- said Billy, presenting a Batman drawing in pen, with a mix of realism and animation. It was a skill he had honed while drawing series like "Hellboy" and "Doom."

  Terry Semel's eyes lit up, and a smile spread across the faces of both Betty and Bob Daily. The tter was surprised by the quality of the drawing in such a short period.

  -Magnifit! You indeed possess what Betty mentioned,- said Terry Semel.

  -What did Betty mention? - some in the room wondered.

  -Oh, without a doubt, you have it, Terry, - Betty said.

  -Ygest advocate is Betty ; you always trust her, - Terry Semel added.

  Billy could only nod, feeling grateful for the praise Terry Semel had for Betty and her support.

  -Well, I'm gd not to disappoint,- Billy replied.

  -Now, we have a problem. The merdising of animated shows is a on practice for our pany. Unfortunately, we only have a tract for 'Johnny Bravo,' but both of your other two ics ck thhts. As a pany, we o address this before the animated el unches, - said Terry Semel.

  -5 years sounds excellent, - said Billy.

  He thought about all that he could achieve in the five years at Lux Animation and Lux ics, including his ag career, which was currently in the midst of all these iations.

  The following moments were filled with bad forth on various small details, from the number of toys to be developed to specific activities reted to the el.

  Anne began to draft the tract, but suddenly, three wyers arrived, all in their fancy suits and expeire. They took notes oire iation and even requested a copy of the draft presented by Anne.

  -We'll have it ready by tomorrow m, - muttered the opposing wyer.

  -Send a copy to my office,- said Terry Semel.

  -We'll also send a copy to yal team in San Jose,- added Betty , nodding to both Anne and Billy.

  While Terry Semel chatted with the wyers about some matters, he sensed Billy's desire to leave and gave him a reassuriure that it was almost over. Billy felt a bit out of pce.

  -Putting business aside, -- Terry Semel began, --I have deduced that you have the idea of creating your television el. However, I'm curious about how you pn to achieve that and why you want to make certain transas with our pany, even if they may be detrimental. The issue is how you'll ma. -

  Anne was taken aback by Terry Semel's words. Create his television el? How e she wasn't aware of this information?

  -What makes you assume I want to create my television el? - replied Billy.

  -Hahaha, - -Bob Daily ughed, --If Terry dares to say something out loud, it's because he has studied something and is 90% sure about his hunch. -

  -Terry Semel tinued, -Your tracts, I read them all, and I also researched diligently. The purchase of Pixar Studios from Steve Jobs is something we ot ignore. Now you have your animation studio, and with your talent, I tell yoing to do something big that we overlooked in the old ways.-

  Pixar was the bck sheep of animatioed by all studios. Even emerging panies dared not go against the Disrend. 3D animation was entirely dismissed due to the ck of uanding of eologies, the challenges of special effects, and the quality of animation that could be achieved using this method.

  -A 3D film, a movie entirely created by puters, would break all the current animation standards,- said Billy.

  -Very well, but you still haven't answered my question. What are your prospects for creating an animation el?- asked Terry Semel.

  -I don't know, sir. I have no idea how much it costs to create a el or what steps I o take. All I say is that I want to create oo showcase the best animations out there,- replied Billy.

  -I see it! - excimed Terry Semel, studying the young man's face.

  -It's great to be young, - Terry Semel said to himself.

  -Thank you, sir. I'll make my way in the world of animation,- said Billy.

  -When you have 150 millio in touch with Warner. I'm willing to advise you a bit on all the intricacies of creating your animation el, - Terry Semel said, adjusting his suit.

  And with that, the meeting was officially over.

  Billy sighed, feeling the exhaustion that Terry Semel's iy could bring upon ahese powerful executives exuded fidence, intelligence, knowledge, and stroiation skills. They seemed to know every thought in Billy's mind. He had sidered extending the iable rights to 10% but decided against it, feeling trapped.

  -e, Billy, I'll take you to the exit. We'll deal with all the remaining issues tomorrow, - said Betty , entrusting the responsibility to Pau Sullen.

  Meanwhile, Terry Semel was discussing the meeting with Bob Daily. Several things that a young boy like Billy overlooked were red fgs to Bob Daily, who had many years of experien the field. The whole iation was based on merdise, but Terry Semel cleverly directed the versation toward toys. This meant that as long as something wasn't categorized as a toy, they could do whatever they wanted with it.

  Furthermore, the 7% was iated based on profits, but it was never specified which profits. This meant that the difference could be millions of dolrs that Billy could have earerry Semel left gaps where they favored the pany, while Billy ended up with just marshmallows. But...

  -Why did you let the kid off the harding taxes? I've seen you crush more promisirepreneurs before, - Bob Daily asked.

  -They're not more promising than the kid, and liquidating him would only lead to another pany taking him uheir wing. The kid joined Warner, but what if he were under Disney? -Terry Semel asked suggestively. He knew his colleague would quickly ect the dots.

  -I see now. I despise you even more, - said Bob Daily.

  -Hahaha! e on, we have a lot of work to do. He started young, but practice will give him the experience he needs for his own pany if he survives long enough, - said Terry Semel.

  Ihe best practies from experience, from going out there and fag the challenges of the real world. Venturing into a risky endeavor like starting a pany is only a part of the many mistakes one makes. The ck of education or insuffit knowledge often pys a crucial role in these mistakes, which may not be evident to some but bee veiled by ignorance.

  Billy, despite having a life behind him and a sed life filled with legal and administrative eduparted by his father, still makes errors that he doesn't fully uand. Education is essential in minimizing mistakes and making informed decisions. Even with his talent and potential, there is always room frowth and learning from experiences.

  As Billy navigates the plexities of the eai industry, the knowledge he gains and the lessons he learns will be instrumental in shaping his future success. The support of mentors like Betty and Anne will also py a vital role in guiding him through the challenging world of animation and television.

  In the end, every misstep, every obstacle, and every success will tribute to Billy's jouroward creating his el and leaving his mark on the world of animation.
