Kazir thought about it seriously and he had an idea which of the three movies Blue Sky Studio would accept.
Blue Sky Studio was a business, not a charity. Its priority was to make money. Obviously, Blue Sky Studio would prefer Kung Fu Panda and Cars for their second movie.
Wall-E seemed promising, but its profitability was too low compared to those two.
Kazir stepped into the elevator knowing how the conversation would go. He had been in the business for more than seven decades, adding his past life. At the end of the day, production studios only made movies because they needed money.
Art and passion were just the freebies, but money was the main reason there were thousands of movies being released every year. The reason why many people wanted to become actors and become famous.

Carl Ludwig wiped his forehead for the nth time, quite nervous and excited. Carl Ludwig was one of the founders of Blue Sky Studio, he currently held the position of President/Producer after 20th Century Fox became interested in 3D animated movies and invested in Blue Sky Studio.
After the success of Ice Age last year, the parent company (20th Century Fox) gained confidence in Blue Sky Studio. They were willing to invest more money just to make sure that Blue Sky Studio would compete with Walt Disney and Pixar, the leading companies in the animation industry.Last year, shocking news was released. 30% of Grey Pictures was acquired by 20th Century Fox and the two companies made sure that this venture would be profitable for both of them.
Carl Ludwig was a big fan of Kazir Grey. He loved action movies and fell in love with Kazir's filmography.
In his opinion, The Matrix, Fight Cl*b, Kill Bill and Charlie's Angels became successful because of the genre that CCU paved for them.
The greatness of realistic action stunts was realized and many studios started to follow the trend. Today, most action movies take advantage of CCU.
Speaking of CCU, it was the first of its genre to make billions at the box office. According to the estimate of Forbes magazine, the net worth of CCU was more than 20 billion dollars as of this year. This net worth would continue to grow as long as CCU continued to do its job well.
There were some rumors that some of the Big Six were planning to create their own Cinematic Universe, but there were no official announcements to support this. Though Carl knew the Big Six were salivating at the idea.
Carl Ludwig was surprised that he would be meeting Kazir today. He even has posters of his movies in his office... He hoped that Kazir would sign them.
Carl had already read the three scripts, but they were incomplete. No one wanted a data leak, much worse if Kazir's scripts were stolen.
Carl liked Wall-E and was amazed at how Kazir wrote it. He was curious how Kazir could write such an amazing plot.
But he knew that this time, Wall-E might have to be put on a pedestal. 20th Century Fox wanted to see what Blue Sky Studio could do, and the best way to show it was to make money.
Heck, they even sent Kazir here just to make sure the future of Blue Sky Studio would be positive.
His phone rang, informing him that Kazir had arrived.
Carl wiped his forehead again and put on his best friendly smile to greet the most sought-after director of the era.
"Good morning, director."
"Good morning."
As always, business meetings began with a handshake.
Kazir and Carl sat down and the director couldn't help but look around. His attention was drawn to some of the posters.
Wanted, Taken, John Wick.
Most of the posters were movies he had directed.
'Is this a way to make a good impression?' he thought to himself.
"Director, I'm actually a fan of yours. I like your movies."
"That's great to hear. Maybe I can sign your posters to show off to your guests."
"That would be nice."
The two began to talk about their plans, and their conversation turned to the scripts.
"I think Wall-E deserves to be animated, but we should wait for the right time. For now, let's focus on stable genres that kids will love. After all, they are the main audience."
Wall-E had a certain seriousness to it, and kids might be confused or not like the movie. Well, Kazir knew that as long as they followed the original version, Wall-E would do well at the box office.
"I think we should make Cars instead. I can imagine how boys would like that movie." Carl added.
"Indeed, although I think Kung Fu Panda has a chance as well." Kazir nodded.
"Director, if you don't mind, we're hoping you'll take the position of executive producer on this project. We need your talent."
"Executive producer, huh..."
Kazir was the Executive Producer of so many projects this year and next year, but he only visited the sets a few times to check on the projects.
If he became the Executive Producer for Blue Sky Studio, he might have to spend one day a week in this place.
"Of course, we will make sure that this will not affect your projects. We just want to hear your thoughts and suggestions."
"We need the approval of 20th Century Fox."
"Oh, they will accept it for sure. We are talking about you."
"You are indeed a fan, you praised me quite highly. Then I have no problem."
"That's great to hear. Then I guess we have to choose Kung Fu Panda. You're a director who specializes in the action genre, I think the chances of Kung Fu Panda being successful will be much higher now that you're going to be involved."
"I don't have a problem."
Cars was good, too, but Kazir was more confident about Kung Fu Panda because action was his forte.
"By the way, we are going to hire Dan Schneider to direct this project."
Carl was thrilled that Kazir would be involved in this project.
"I'm sorry, what?"
"Dan Schneider, from Nickelodeon. He produced a lot of shows at Nickelodeon like All That, Kenan & Kel, and The Amanda Show. I'm sure he knows how to get kids' attention."
Kazir was speechless at this shocking news!
