Steven Spielberg saw the expoial growth in his hands, a chart id out oable. Two explicit ideas were proposed: the first was to co-found a iatioween Billy and himself to create a film and television produ pany.
Now, they were just starting to shine a light on how to form such a rge pany. His creation of Amblin wasn’t ambitious, and he had help from Universal. But now he had to hahings himself. He saroblems; colborating tion to share expehough if he did, they always asked him to participate iher produ or dire. Time was not abundant, especially now as he managed employees, stru, lises, agreements, unions, eves, friends, and actors, all seen through a different lens. Any colboration required money, favors, extra work...
-How are you, Michael? - Steven ented, hugging one of his mentees in the field of direg.
-Starting all the processes for my movie's premiere. - Michael Fincher replied. He looked particurly strong, with a vibe of ay but also uanding.
-You mean it’s been a good year for you. - Steven ented.
-I have more options, but this is a masterpiece. I was with Billy Carson… he’s a surprising actor, who seems to have a talent for portraying calcuted, plex emotions. Though it may not seem so, he is a very good actor. - Fincher ented, having watched Billy perform during the three-month post-produ process, perfeg every part, cutting numerous times, more than he would have liked. They started with a four-hour take, trimming it down to a one-and-a-half-hour movie.
He saw all shades of ag, from blind rage tretful faces, love, fear, ughter, and affe. He was a very good actor.
-Maybe you could invite me. I’d like to support you. - Steven ented, raising David's eyebrows, who nodded in surprise. Steven was everywhere, but… he didn’t expect him to appear in promotion.
-Sure, I’ll talk to my agent –
-None of that, send the tickets to my wife. We’ll be there. Save me a good seat. I want to see everything you’ve learned. Retly, I was offered a ticket for the Alien series, and I think you’d be a good didate, but I need material to present to the Fox work. - Steven ented, opening up possibilities. Billy had already expihey needed good swriters and directors, along with a healthy sele of actors. Nurturing and ung new actors alongside veterans was DreamWorks' path, a pany of opportunities… fresh, creative, and innovative.
-Sure. - David ented, almost losing his breath. Steven Spielberg moved his way to the HBO work, starting a low-budget film to produce for the work, which had certain ties with many other panies, now including DreamWorks TV.
Their meeting was casual, situated by reted projects. Though New Line ema's ma was separate from Warner, he had to face distribution, promotion, and publicity factors.
To Bob Iger, Billy's name was already a stant appuse. On numerous occasions, he had heard the young man's name.

-Dad. - Raimon said, hating having to greet his father for the sed time in a year. The st time, it had made him cry a him in a week-long depression from feeling trapped by the stant pints.
-Raimon. - came the response.
‘Here we go again,’ he thought, feeling the cold aowledgment of his identity.
-Thanks for helping with the iment fund. - Raimon said, following Billy's advice to steer everything toward work. His father, seeing the bck shirt uhe blue one, noticed that his son was still wearing that ridiculous clothing.
-With issions. It's not free, but we arranged your boss's iment fund privately. Now, you'll only appear as the manager of the titur pany, "Teology Iments." I don't quite uand why you would use a misspelled name froup that already exists. You won't receive more publiang, which is not in the tract. - Lucas Green ented.
-I don’t fully uand Billy either, but time has showhat we traditionalists ’t grasp his vision and way of doing things. He has a structured pn. He may want to buy a pany without many people notig. - Raimon replied.
-Sure… the young man of America. - Lucas ented.
-Oh, father, he’s not young anymore. As a private pany, they ’t list Billy’s assets, but my calcutions put him among the richest men in America, even in the world. Don’t uimate him. Though he pys ag, he graduated from Stanford at 19 and had me teach him throughout his career with all kinds of tutors. I wouldn’t be surprised if his fund is to strike back at pahat have pyed dirty. - Raimon said softly, uo raise his voice to his father but implying something that both he and Anne Hall knew: Billy's vision is above average.
-Do you think I’m a foolish talker? Your boy es here often, talks to some people, is in some funds, and leaves his money. He has the eloquence, appearance, and fidehat you ck. You better sting about others and start doing things for yourself. - Lucas ented.
Raimon's spirit was pletely crushed, and he wao leave immediately. But Lucas wondered just how impressive this Carson boy was, both as a banker and a reviewer, and thought he should pay attention.
Later that same day, Raimo all the paperwork. Officially, Billy had a fund that wouldn’t charge issions. They bought a sum of 80 million dolrs and transferred most of his fund’s shares, reanizing them into different shares. Even in terms of expenditure, it was just a drop in the o, with the purchase of shares being active. Yet, the growth wasn’t immediately visible.
Pfizer shares at 7.23, totaling 300,000 shares for a price of 2,169,000. This resulted in an average of 600,000 shares.
Qual shares at 2.25, totaling 3,000,000 shares for a price of 6.4 million, a stabilized average of 11 million shares.
Nokia shares at 2.56, totaling 5,000,000 shares, reag a 31% stake in the pany for 10.7 million. Including previous purchases, this amouo 28.1 million shares in the cell phone pany.
These were just a few mentions, as they also held shares in Toys., The Cheesecake Factory, AOL, General Electritel, Home Depot, Walmart, Cisco, and Nike.
Billy's insisten General Electric at 22.03 per share was surprising. The purchase of 511,397 shares was enormous. For the price of the shares, this was an a that easily allowed buying others in teology.
Anne lifted the iment sheet, raising her eyebrows. She was slowly gaining Billy’s trust. She ied in panies like Nokia, Coicrosoft, and General Electric, trusting Billy's words.
-Thanks, Raimon. - ented Anne Hall.
