"Thank you for your ti, here is a gift. We will call you if you pass the selection."
Erica ndez from Grey Pictures offered the gift and the middle-aged man accepted it.
Erica and the other executives were interviewing people for the general manager position. Grey Pictures was a recently ford company, and there were only few employees who had experience running a business.
Most of the employees were related to filmmaking, but none of them were experienced enough to take on the position of general manager.
Therefore, Grey Pictures decided to look for people who were qualified to take the position.
Normally, Kazir Grey was supposed to attend this interview to make a decision. However, director Grey was in Italy filming The Bourne Identity. He was unable to return to the U.S. to participate in the interview process.
Three people t most of the criteria and Erica was responsible for interviewing them along with the other people in managent.
Kazir decided to let his assistant stay in the country because he knew Erica had twins.
Erica was grateful for that. And for that, too, Erica felt guilty. Her boss was too good.
If it were not for her boyish appearance, she might think of another reason why her boss was good to her. Fortunately, Erica knew that Kazir was good to his crew mbers and was not a tyrannical boss who belittled people.
Because of her boss's kindness, Erica decided to work hard. She seriously considered which of the three people would be a good choice for the company.
Kazir Grey was suffering from overwork and he clearly didn't like to dab his hands in business. Although Erica had only known him for two years, she knew that Kazir was not enthusiastic about building a company; his ambitions lay in art, in film.
Grey Pictures was just his way of dealing with the Big Six, just like Marvel Studios did back then.
Marvel Comics took one last gamble by creating a Cinematic Universe, and their decision paid off handsoly. Of course, comic book sales were still not that good. In fact, for the next three decades, Japanese manga would be more popular in the West than Arican comics.
Still, Marvel was making money in other ways, such as toys, rchandise, and movies. In a way, their situation was far better than DC Comics, which lost all its glory after 2010s.
Once the Continental Cinematic Universe was a success, Kazir would work with animation and comic book companies to adapt his movies to other forms of dia.
As of now, the "gold" coins that appeared in Taken and John Wick are getting recognition. So movie enthusiasts bought them and pretended they were part of the Cinematic Universe. Total sales of the Gold Coins have already surpassed $50 million.
Just like Marvel, Grey Pictures was trying to find another way to make money.
One of the reasons Grey Pictures needs a general manager is that Kazir could never manage all that while directing a movie.
"Call the last one."
Erica told the person outside.
A woman entered the office. She wore gold-rimd glasses, but she didn't look like a geek. Instead, she looked like a classy and intelligent woman. It was not because of her appearance, but because of her manners and deanor.
Erica raised her eyebrows and realized that she could not take her eyes off the woman for so reasons.
Of the three people who passed the requirents, this person was the only female.
Most of the requirents were simple, but Kazir had a special requirent.
The person should have worked in showbiz... Yes, very understandable.
As long as the person t the criteria, Kazir had no problem. But because of the intense screening, only three people passed. These three people managed important managent related to showbiz.
The first guy was the ex-CEO of a cable network.
The second guy was a TV producer. His resu stated that he had created four TV shows.
As for the last person...
"Your na is Stella Willow, is that right?"
"That's right. I'm Stella Willow. I worked at NBC for five years before I quit."
Erica ndez scanned the woman's resu. She already knew the woman's background, but she decided to read it again.
"It says here that you are the Head Manager of Production Managent. Why did you leave your job? NBC is one of the best television networks in the United States."
"It's not that simple. The competition, the gossip and even the discrimination against won disgusted .
"..." Erica nodded.
Erica ndez could not help but agree. She was a female soldier and the looks she received from the male soldiers did not sit well with her. It was a good thing that Erica was a strong woman, so the soldiers around her quickly respected her.
She knew there were instances where won were harassed in their jobs.
"I decided to quit when my boss tried to lure with sex for a promotion. I reached my position through hard work, I don't need to use my body to get it. This boss is a bastard and I knew he would give a hard life after I refused him, so I decided to quit imdiately."
"Is that so?"
Stella Willow didn't ntion the exact reason why she quit her job in her resu, and that was the first ti Erica had heard it. Even the other people in the room were listening to her story.
"What happened to the boss?"
"He died in a car accident. His body was crushed by a truck and he died horribly. Apparently his break didn't work." Stella grinned.
"..."
The room was silent for a second.
"Fufu, of course I'm kidding. He was fired for sexually harassing one of his employees."
She laughed. Then another person laughed awkwardly until everyone laughed.
