250. the English patient.

  Saul Zaents arrived on time to initiate the entire procedure, with his dear friend Michael Ondaatje, and they carried out all the essential steps t the movie based on his dear friend's book to life.

  The assembled team es from a w group led by John Seale, who has worked diligently on the project scheduled to begin filming in May of year, along with the produ pany Tiger Moth, tracted for 2 million dolrs. Produ expenses alone are rising; however, the majority of the selected procedures have already been pleted.

  Mr. Saul Zaents pted going first and asking some questions to an acquaintance, Harvey Weinstein, but he both hated and loved the individual who was porary to him. Firstly, this produ had already faced reje from 20th tury Fox; the studio wao hire mnized actresses to give a positive face to the film. Zaentz doesn't want a film to be bogged down by a produ that barely meets expectations, which is what both he and Michael Ondaatje desire for the movie's development.

  Most importantly, the soundtrack has now been covered by a Hungarian group, Muzsikas, which has nothing to envy to those promi names and accimed ses.

  -I see you've done a great job, sidering the hefty produ fee. - Billy remarked.

  -Well, I was hoping for a slight increase in the budget, perhaps between 25 and 28 million dolrs. For now, the agreed-upon 24 million isn't enough. - Saul replied.

  - It's plicated to see it that way. For now, tih produ; I'll send my atants to duct a thh study. - Billy said.

  -Atants? - Saul queried.

  -Of course, atants. It's in the signed cuses. As long as it's for the film's good and satisfies its is, I accept it. - Billy extended his hand. - I know it seems costly; I could i more, but I like to scrutinize how much money I spend and why I spend it. Please don't make that face; it's a gesture I make for public revenue. - Billy expined.

  One of the reasons why the film industry costs so much money is due to film produ. Producers are in charge of making films, but they have ohing in on: they like to do favors, increase expenses, and cross budgets in a status of life, for everyone, for the crew, writers, uests; everything is included in a budget, and that's why it's good to have great producers. For example, in "Little Women," the budget was valued at 15 million dolrs, and they made iing actor hires. They didn't spend more than they should have or asked for. But "The English Patient" asked for double the money.

  This is the trary; major studios hire their producers for different tasks in the film, such as sets, aodations, as, and they prevent the producer from getting out of hand for the major studios.

  All of that will be itemized, not denied. For example, if Mr. Zaents spends 300,000 dolrs on luxury hotels, Billy has no problem, but he will incur travel expeaxes, pensations, and royalties.

  Seeing Zaents's doubtful expression, Billy tinued.

  -Think of it this way: I want to know the expenses, and that's it. I'll itemize every expense, everything will be delivered acc to tax ws. - Billy reassured.

  -I see. But the iment will remain the same, - Saul said. It's not something new; indepe films often do it when they i in big produs because their money depends on the produ, but Billy seems not to . Whiow uands that money is necessary.

  -Of course, only business matters, although it may seem like iing so much money isn't easy. - Billy affirmed.

  -Very well, filming will plement in the summer; we have many simir ideas about who to hire, and the hiring list has already been made, sending some castings, and of course, offers to certain individuals, for example, actress Juliette Binoche, is perfect. - Saul said.

  The papers about the didates, their respective agenda spaces, and doubts, but one must uand that in produ, it is a rigorous matter when the director is not an experienced person, for two simple reasons: they ot help in the process of aiding and iing the plot.

  - I have them? - Billy asked. Saul nodded, not giving it much thought. Later, Jim Gianopulus would ent on all the small decisions tained in this article, although he identified some, many of the administrative forms that Hollywood used to handle were still mysterious to him.

  The business versation tinued, not only about money but also about the pany's distribution capability. For now, they had a distributiowork wide enough to cover Europe, America, and part of Asia. However, it wasn't enough for the demand of major produs, for two reasons: the first was the number of films they distributed, and the sed was the resources to i.

  It's easy to create a distributor; it's difficult to maintain it so that it distributes, at least three to five films a year as a minimum, a strict distribution burden.

  Luxtoons.

  The vibrant animation el started with its inal programs, not very fshy, but they began to capture children of all ages, from 6 to 7 years old to 15-17 years old. Even some adults joined in to watch, for two simple reasons: Marvel, seeing the X-Men, along with Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four ics, which they had seen since childhood, called out to a certain popution. The audience doubled, and word of mouth spread through the school halls, uies, informal and formal jobs, and leisure pces. In a burger joint, hotels, and the brand's toy store, cartoons were pying most of the time when there were no importas, sports, news, or ued occurrences.

  In a house iern Illinois.

  Two children watched television engrossed, without taking their eyes off the s. For adults, it would be a striking thing, the good animation that far surpassed animations from the 60s in graphic style.

  The ughter of the children could be heard as they watched the adventures of Billy and Mandy; the ughter didn't hesitate to repeat itself, then with Dexter's Laboratory, followed by the X-Men, Spider-Man, Knights of the Zodiac, Recess, and another episode of Roodern Life.

  Were there too many inal programs for the television el? On the trary, there were very few.

  Until a light sign appeared, a lightsaber, a short 10-sed ercial, Star Wars: The e Wars, with bright greeers and the Lucasfilm logo. It was at that moment that the forums colpsed.

  -You should be doing your homework, - said the mother, arriving from work and standing in front of the television.

  -Mama! - shouted the 8- and 11-year-old children, respectively.

  -Your homework. Once I know you have it done, you tig television, - said the mother.

  Grandma shook her head from her chair to go to bed.

  It wouldn't be long before the father arrived, exhausted from work, an average 37-year-old man with two children, aged 11 and 8, totally exhausted from the workday.

  -Well, I'll check your notebooks and guides, - said the mother, pig up the scattered backpacks from the floor. A typical Ameri family.

  -Dad, - shouted the children upon seeing the man arrive.

  He was happy and hugged them, ging their thoughts.

  -They're going to premiere a Star Wars series. I hought it possible, but we've seen the ercial twice, - said the younger boy, nodding. The older one chimed in.

  -It's true, Star Wars: The e Wars, - said the older boy.

  -I had no idea, - said the father, surprised by the series he browsed in his spare time, a taste acquired in his youth with the release of the Star Wars movies.
