Victoria Graves: Can you believe these greedy bastards? Paramount+ hiked the price! Fix this shit, pronto!
Victoria, we need to focus on our own turf war. We can’t lose our audience. We need to be on our A-game.
slams her hand on the desk Damn straight we need to be on our A-game! But that doesn't mean we can let them walk all over us.
Okay okay. So what’s the plan?
leans in close, her eyes gleaming with mischief Alright, listen up. We're going to hit them where it hurts - their wallet.
How do you propose we do that?
smirks and taps her fingers on the desk We'll launch a rival streaming service, cheaper than Paramount+, but with better content.
And how are we gonna make it better than Paramount?
leans back in her chair, a devious smile playing on her lips Oh, my dear Stranger, I've got it all figured out.
leans forward, her voice low and commanding First, we gather the best talent. The crème de la crème of writers, directors, and actors.
You already have those people on your side. Triad just got a bunch of new talent from that south side.
leans in even closer, her eyes glinting with determination Yes, but we need more.
stands up and paces around the room Look, Stranger, we can't just rely on the talent we already have. We need to expand our network.
I think we can definitely do that. With the stuff we got from Triad, we’re bound to have some connections.
stops pacing, smirking That's the spirit, Stranger! We'll use our connections to bring in even more talented individuals.
Alright. Who you thinking of reaching out to?
Victoria Graves and Stranger reach out to the infamous director, Martin Scorsese, to join their streaming service
Holy shit. You’re reaching out to Martin Scorsese?
grinning confidently That's right, Stranger. Martin Scorsese is a legend in the industry, and I know he'll appreciate our offer.
What can we offer him that he hasn’t got already?
leans in, her voice dripping with intrigue Oh, my dear Stranger, we can offer him something that no one else can.
smirks, tapping her fingers on the desk We can offer him complete creative control.
That’s something he’s never got. Hell, most directors have to fight just to get a single project greenlit.
nods, her eyes sparkling with determination Exactly, Stranger. We understand the importance of creative freedom.
Damn. Well if he’s on board, then you probably could convince some other big names to join us too.
claps her hands together Excellent! Let's start putting feelers out and see who else is interested in joining our revolutionary streaming service.
Alright boss. We’ll get on it.
grinning devilishly That's the spirit, Stranger! Now let's make some calls and get this show on the road.
I pick up my phone and start making some calls.
picks up her own phone and starts dialing Hello, Mr. Scorsese? It's Victoria Graves here. How are things going today? Great!
I laugh at the outcome of my call One down, boss. I’m working on the rest.
holds her phone to her ear, smirking Excellent work, Stranger! Now let's see if we can get our hands on some big-name stars.
I pick up my phone again and make another call.
paces back and forth, her voice filled with energy Alright, Stranger, let's hit 'em hard! We need A-list stars who can draw in the viewers.
I make a call and offer a contract to a big name actor
throws her hands up in excitement Oh, damn, Stranger! That's the ticket! Get 'em to sign on the dotted line!
The actor accepts the contract.
jumps up and down, her voice booming Yessss! We've got ourselves a star! Now let's go after some major directors!
I call around to other directors offering deals.
grinning mischievously Strike while the iron is hot, Stranger! Don't let those directors slip through our fingers! We need them on board to make our service truly unstoppable!
