-[X] Taxi Driver: Thankfully, the film is almost entirely done, because dammit, Martin was able to be very good at his job. So time to save his film, by throwing money at the problem. DC: ??? Rolled:
D100 => 93
You really thought you were going to have to call the lawyers.
But they gave it up without a fight. They must fear the Goose too much.
(Continued in Taxi Driver)
------------------------------------------------------
-[X]Begin Production on Five Dates: Carrie is really wanting to try to film this script…. You are going to find out just how good you are as a producer. And maybe more (Starts Production miniturn) (As Star Wars is beginning it's final post-production, you can now begin) Rolled:
D100 => 71
You almost wished that Carrie was willing to be adventurous with where she wanted to set it…but then again, perhaps she was just waiting for something to happen.
Or maybe she just wanted to sleep in her own bed every night.
Anyway, onto the film… holy shit all this work that Gary did was honestly going to kill you.
And this was just for this simple film!
(Continued in Five Dates)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X] Distributing Deals: Since you have a Distribution Company, or rather, are one… You can meet the major movie theater companies and strike a Deal with them. Even when you had really nothing to offer them. DC: ???
--[X] Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades Rolled:
D100 => 88
Disney isn't going to stop you this time!
And considering how much the last film was… groundbreaking in terms of audience. You expected much.
And you expected nothing less than success.
(Continued in Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X] Olympic Training: It's time to get serious about training to win a gold. You really need to back up your documentary that made everyone else out to be winners. DC: ??? Rolled:
D100 => 51+30=81
You were going, to be honest, you were really going rather… lax in terms of training. Sure you were giving it your all.
But you were also still acting in movies and working at the office most days, even though you had practically turned one of the newly built stages into your own boxing Gym.
But you knew that there were people gunning for you now, you had all but stamped your name on that with a documentary all but promising victory.
Reward: You are prepared, but not as prepared as you like.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]And Carrie Begins to Become Awesome: Carrie is willing to work on one of the many pitches you have and write screenplays for them. (Linetail what you want to see if she can… produce)
--[X] Moonlight Diner Rolled:
D100 + 150 => 234
Script Quality:
D100 + 20 => 120
Everyone in the Script room honestly just looked at it and was in Awe.
Paul just said. "John you owe me a hundred bucks."
You raised an eyebrow. "What was the bet?"
John just slid over a hundred. "Who would write a better Script, us, or Carrie." Then he took a breath and just… placed his hands on his face. "Dammit!"
Carrie blushed. "Oh don't be like that guys, I'm only doing what I think is right."
There was a laugh from Paul. "Well, then it might be time for us to pick up the pace, you are beating us all at the production department."
"Oh don't sell yourself short, Bruce has notes and stuff going all over this place for years, collecting dust. I'm just giving them the proper… well love that they need."
"That's not all you're getting from Bruce." John shot back before he realized it was bad.
Carrie just smiled. "Well, don't worry about it. And By the way John, you know Bruce is still-"
You smiled. "Say that again John?"
John then planted his face into his face. "Fuck."
Reward: Moonlight Diner has been created and is now ready to produce.
The Scriptroom is starting to get very wary that Carrie is going to get them out of the job.
Unknown positive effect on the Screenrooms next three scripts.

-[X]A Well-Known Fan: So some really famous person is a fan of yours. Maybe you'll learn who they actually are. DC??? Rolled:
D100 => 100
Event:
D20 => 19
You were at the Office when the young man walked in with the swagger of all the confidence in the world. "May I help you?" You asked.
"Um.. yes, my name is Michael Jackson." He said his name confidently, though he was rather unsure. "You're Bruce O'Brian sir?"
You didn't recognize the kid, but you swore you had seen him before. "I am." You replied. "Why are you in my office?"
"I was hoping for an interview for a movie. Um… I had heard there was one in production that could use some… talent."
You sighed. "I don't know where you heard that rumor kid." You said dismissively, but that didn't seem to dampen his spirits as he just smiled. "But we don't have as many productions as Universal or Colombia, and anyone-"
Then you recognized the face. Michael Jackson of the Jackson 5 was in your room asking about staring in a movie. "And where did you hear that rumor that we were looking for some young actor?"
"I heard it from a nice woman who I assume is your wife when she was recording a song in one of the studios she rented out." You then found yourself wondering what Carrie was doing there. "It was all she could talk about after she finished recording and we all wondered why she was in such a good mood."
"And you thought you could get a part, Mister Jackson?" You asked.
"Maybe, maybe not, I just want to find a good reason to get away from my family and do my own thing. Kinda gets a little hard when no one really thinks you're good enough to do anything alone."
He had the guts, you'll give him that. "And you just made an appointment to get the job? A Job here?"
Michael smiled and gave a nod. "Of course. Because who would be brave enough to face Bruce the Goose? I am."
There was a smile. "You might get you're roll kid. Might." You said. "But why work for me, instead of any of the other studios that would kill to have you."
"You're a nice person, I read about all the people you helped a few years ago and all the people that you continue to help through the O'Riley Foundation. Maybe because I think, unlike everyone else, you might not see a young dreamer, but someone who can be somebody."
As he walked away, he just took a deep breath. "I hope at least, that I'm not wrong in that."
Reward: Michael Jackson is a huge fan of yours, and believed that out of all the people in Hollywood, you would be the one most likely to use his talents in a way that is creative and unique. Rather than the average fare and silly musicals.
And very demanding schedules that might not be healthy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-[X]The Friendship and Brotherhood of George Lucas: George wants to hang out and have fun. DC: 30 Rolled:
D100 => 23
George was trapped at ILM… and as much as he wanted to take time to relax, you also knew that he was…
Well, he was in his own battle right now. Preparing for things that were needed.
Failure.
--------------------------------------
-[X]Calling Your Parents: You are going to call your parents and see what they want. DC: 10 Rolled:
D100 => 100
You looked at Mom and Dad's photo as you called and said. "This is good news I hope?"
"Oh yeah kid, more than good news… We finished renovating the bar, and we've got enough left over to do something fun. Remember Coney Island? All the fun we had there?"
"Yeah… What is it?"
"Well, your father got a hold of his old Army buddies and they just so happened to have the same… idea. They wanna restart and restore Coney Island."
"That's amazing, but I have to ask, how? The City of New York would never allow that without a huge investment. Who would give that capital?"
"Clint Eastwood." Your father said and you could feel the smile on his face. "He put down a massive sum to help us through this… though not enough to get the island restored to its former glory… But it's being cleaned up for the first time in a long time.
"That's amazing Dad." You said. "What about you guys, is there anything else."
"Carrie talked to us, about you two coming to a decision… We respect it." Your mother said. "I'm just glad you two came to it as adults rather than through mistakes and miscommunication."
"Thanks, Dad."
Reward: You talk to your parents briefly and learn that your father is spearheading the restoration of Coney Island with other new yorkers and some of his army buddies.
There is also news that Clint, while unable to outright pay the city to reopen the island, he was able to get most of the theme park restored and begin the road to recovery and reopening.
AN: enjoy the Common O'Brian W's!
