Lux Animation had a new bombshell in the form of the great new businessman Jim Gianopulos, taking charge of all the pany's affairs, anizing what the pany had, a small campaign for three movies, 7 animated series, and a series of lises that seemed almost absurd in quantity. However, on paper, the only notable lise he found was that of Woody Woodpecker. These Japanese series didn't grab his attention as much as he thought, but the boss spoke about the quality of the series and the endearing stories that would catch the attention of many people.

  There ending issue; the first starting point was a note from a week ago, the first bombshell of the job. Fox refused to deliver the series, the very famous Power Rangers, and the previous problems regarding the use of funds. Saban was undoubtedly a smart guy, and Jim Gianopulos would have to deal with solving some problems with Saban's pany and sequently, quickly search with Fox, which, with its ret popurity of Fox Kids, was trying to achieve success again. Once again, fidential files mentiohat Power Rangers' annual profits were 6 million in peripheral sales and advertising revenue distributed, and profits would only increase.

  In a red circle, it mentiohe future profit iy years and the price of a possible sale, han 300 million, which seemed absurd to him, a price that Jim didn't sider logical.

  But even more illogical was that they had just signed a 12-year lise with Star Wars, for three movies and four animated series. It was a siderable gamble that, acc to reports and summaries, Billy talked about an illogical, gigantic profit of at least 900 million by the end of the lise.

  -Good m, Anne, - said Jim Gianopulos, from his phone, eg him with a work of top executives.

  -Jim, I hope you're calling to greet me and not to give me more work, - said Anne.

  -Of course not, I just want to call that boy Raimon, director of operations, the one in charge of most of the intricacies, and I'd like to know the budget I'll have for the ing months, - said Jim Gianopulos.

  -For now, only relevant operations, we don't o create more tent this year. However, Billy expects the budget for 1995 to be 9 million, and he expects it to double to 18 million for 1996. In the following years, we expect the value to tinue rising. For now, you'll take care of retions with Sahin Saban, with the televisiram, the search for new important projects for the ing years, distribution, and acquisitions, - said Anne, repeating Jim's duties for the third time.

  -When could I see young Raimon? - said Jim.

  -He'll arrive week; he's in charge of expanding the distribution pany, strengthening tracts, aively entering the European market. You go to Los Angeles, and well, you're now the boss iertai matters. Raimon be the director of operations, but you're the capable man who has been in the business for over 14 years. You'll surely help a lot, - said Anne.

  -Sure, you sehe phone numbers and someone who keep me informed of all the situations. I think I help; my job was distribution, - said Jim Gianopulos.

  -I'll send Rachel, and Jim, a happy first day at work. Jolie is reviewing the tracts for the team yht. Unlike you, they will have a two-year tract, depending on your results; they will be given a perma tract afterward, - said Anne.

  She was rested, more alert, and alive. With the new hires, her rest was more extensive, and she could rex. Let Jim take care of everything he wanted; oher hand, she could focus on solidifying the pany. She o streamline processes, review minor tracts, and ehat everyone is doing their job well. She will oversee everyone, now that the heavy burden of animation no longer falls on her.

  The ats are ihy numbers, and she has enough moo pay off all debts, at least the closest ones

  For Armand Millester and Raimon, anizing the entire distribution process is plicated. Now, after numerous calls, he uood that iating agreements with numerous exhibitors was more difficult, as well as expanding into Europe, only in special pces that have had much more influence, such as Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Italy, and curiously Austria. It was surprising how the development was starting to unfold.

  -Anne just called me, she's saying they hired a great guy, one who has a lot of experience w at Fox, he's a skilled guy. He has great abilities, or at least that's what it seems, - said Armand Millester.

  -Well, better, - said Raimon, wiping the sweat, the small ply had one fan and that fan worked, but it blew air every 30 seds, it was stuffy and sweaty, and for the first time, he wished he could go to the beach.

  -You do everything you . I'll try for now to establish es; let's hope the new boss, a skilled man, solve everythier. It's said he has a team, - said Armand.

  Both tinued dialing numbers, making calls, sending emails, and using a tact guide to establish es with regional distributors, which would help expand their distribution. A solid retionship has beeablished with ada and most of the Uates.

  But Europe was a tough nut to crack.

  -I wouldn't say I like it. With all my heart. They just hung up on me, - said Raimon.

  -Don't worry, there are 25 distributors in Europe who distribute to most of Europe, and others smaller, but we're starting, - said Armand.

  The doorbell rang.

  Billy woke up from his drawings; Julie and Gwyh entered, both girls were cheerfully dressed and imparted ohing: they wao go for a walk iral Park to have a few drinks. The day was beautiful, and the girls were eager.

  -I'll be down in a sed, - said Billy, hearing the two cheerful voices of the women behind the door, he tidied up his things as best as he could, anizing his ics.

  Both women were happy and ready, Gwyh, both women were ughing.

  -Billy, we've decided you must see tral Park, - said Julie Delpy.

  -Sure, I'll see you in the lobby, I'll be down in a few minutes, - said Billy.

  Both women nodded.

  -Ten minutes, cowboy, don't take more than ten minutes. I hope you don't take any longer, or you'll see two angry women who will behave in the worst way you could imagine, - said Julie.

  Gwyh nodded in agreement, like a rapper, extending her slender arms provocatively in a way that mostly elicited ughter.

  Both women were friends, or something simir to friends. He didn't bring sportswear, only suits, and some jeans; he was short on clothes. He grabbed a beige suit with a pink shirt, and no tie, trying to be as casual as he could.

  -Billy, let's go, we have to be on the runways by 4, you o hurry up as much as you , - said Julie, enthusiastically, something had ged.

  They walked through the streets, oblivious to or unaware of what they were experieng, g only to move forward. tral Park was everything the great park portrayed; it surrounded an endless number of tourists, young people, children, and adults as pedestrians. There was no doubt it was beautiful, even the ducks were picturesque.

  They set up camp under a clearing, with nothing more than a basket of sandwiches and bottles of water from the hotel. They ehe view calmly, without questions, just peace; a memorable moment. He didn't see Winona for the rest of the week, nwyh, who also left for a job.

  He woke up from his dream of colors, a routiablished by Billy, as he boarded a train to start filming the love drama, "Before Sunrise."
