The Matrix – the first movie of the Matrix trilogy – was and is one of your favorite movies of all times.

The Matrix was groundbreaking when it was first released in your previous world. Hopefully, it will be released in this one, by your own hands.

You couldn't wait for that day as well as the chance to correct some mistakes the Wachowski brothers – or sisters have made. Well, they are still the Wachowski brothers right now.

However, your debut film is more important right now.

It is more important than all the perverted thoughts flying about in your head.

"Are you still working?" a familiar voice calls out.

"Yes, mum. I'm still working," you answer and turn about to face your lovely mother.

Your mother has just return from her appointment with some important people. She is wearing a very revealing dress that shows both of her shoulder and ample b.r.e.a.s.t.s. It obviously to you that she is using her female charm to score some contracts.

"Don't work too late. A good night sleep is important."

Your mother is worry about you. She wants you to succeed, but at the same time, she also wants to fail – so that you will listen to her and do what she asks.

"I know. Good night, mum," you reply.

You return your undivided attention to your typewriter before your eyes inevitably strip your mother of all her clothes. Your junior is well-behaved. It was only semi-erected.

Once the door close, you let out a sigh and concentrate at your task.

From your memory, the movie Speed is a sleeper hit that makes 350 million on an estimated budget of 30 million. That is more than 10 times profits over its theoretical run. That is an insane amount in your opinion, and it is especially true in this parallel world, where Hollywood isn't as prosperous as your original world.

Interesting enough, the movies and their general storyline in this world is the same as your old world, but their box office is lacking. This is because the dialogue isn't as the same as you remember it, and the camera work could be more innovating.

For example, Star Wars only made 450 million on a 11 million budget. That was an insane amount of money, but you remember that it makes over 700 million in your original world, which is even more crazy.

Star Wars still beats Jaws and ET at the box offices in this world, however.

That just mean Jaws and ET didn't take in as much winnings as it could have. You have watched both movies and compare them with what you remembered from your previous life, and you found your previous world's version is much more entertaining.

What did this all mean?

Well, when you a.n.a.lyzed Star Wars during your recent college days, you realize the cinematography was subpar and the dialogue was questionable. Sometimes the actors and actresses weren't as good as they supposed to be.

But since the main storyline of Star War is remained relatively intact, it was still popular and becomes a pop-culture. It wasn't as popular as it could be, however.

Its sequels (The Empire Strikes Back) did poorly in your opinion. It garnered only 280 million in the box office – still very profitable considering the 18 million budgets. However, it did not create an enormous hype when it was first released.

This is because it is missing an epic moment: "I am your father."

Instead, the main plot point of this world's version Star Wars was revealed in a different way. While it was still a good reveal, it could never compare to when Vader stated it in your world's version. Epic moments like that give people hypes, and with hypes, movies bring in more movie's goers – profits.

As for Speed. It is one of the most cla.s.sic action movies of the 1990s. Your only problem is that the investment in the film is out of your reach, even if it is one of the lowest budgeted movies on your list.

Finding 30 million dollars investment is almost impossible unless you are George Lucas, but you believe that this movie can be make for ten million dollar or less.

However, you need a complete screenplay before you could calculate exactly how much funding you will need.

Putting your financial troubles aside, you began typing on the typewriter. You need to concentrate on your screenplay before everything else. If you have a good screenplay in your hand, you can use it ways to fund your movie.

Only through hard work and dedication, extraordinary achievements can be reached!

In the following week, you put aside all financial burden and concerns about the future and use all your energy and time into creation of your first screenplay.

You use one of the standard commercial screenplays as a template while you compiled a very detailed character's outline and dialogues. For one, it easier to fill in the template. For two, it far easier for a standardized screenplay to be accepted by investors.

You did forget a lot of finer details in the dialogues between the characters, but you always found a suitable alternative to fill in the missing lines. Sometimes, you find your own dialogues sounded much better in the moment.

Maybe this is your chance to right whatever wrong you found in your previous world movie? This way, the screenplay would be your creation, instead of a pure copy.

Days and months gradually pa.s.s by as you concentrated on your script. The weather changes, cold to hot, and blooding sucking mosquitoes fill the air.

You ignore them and continue to work, only stopping when you are stump or exhausted.

First act, scene one.

In the near darkness of the bas.e.m.e.nt, a security guard makes his way into the inner cellar. His flashlight finds a man in work clothes bend over a panel, his back to the light.

"Hey! This is a restricted area!" – the guard.

The man doesn't look around. We could just almost see his face as he talks.

"Yeah. I, uh, got called in…. some of this wiring got screwed up." – the man.

"n.o.body called it down to me. I'm going to have to see a work order." – guard.

"Yeah… just one second…" – the man.

The man pa.s.ses a piece of paper to the guard.

The guard distracted by the paper. The man reaches into his toolbox.

He rises, turning, and a knife is shoved through the guard's ear.

The knife is pulled back with calm efficiency.

The guard turns, wide-eyes, hand to his ears. Mouth opens in silent protest. Out of his hand drops the work order. He slumps over. He dies.

Scene after scene you write, and eventually the screenplay complete. Only then you let out an air of relieve. You didn't remember every scene of the movie, but you did well to fill in the blanks with your ingenuity.

Now that the screenplay is complete, you could estimate the exact funding you required base on the amount of scene and shootings needed to be done.

Before you revise your screenplay. A voice speaks into your mind.

[Congratulation in creating your first Screenplay!]

[You are one step towards the best f.u.c.king directory.]

You smile. At least the System acknowledges you. Its next announcement surprises you.

[A random reward has been awarded to you. The item is placed into your Inventory.]

"Wait, wait, I have a f.u.c.king inventory!?"
