Japan.

I am slumped over my desk, forehead pressed against the cool wood, when my assistant Tanaka-kun gently shakes my shoulder.
"Kishimoto-sensei, it's almost six. We should head out."
My eyes feel like they have been rubbed with sandpaper.
Seventy-two hours.
That's how long I have been awake, minus a two-hour nap on Friday.

As shooting on Iron Man continued, Regal planned something no one was aware of.
It dropped without any noise, fanfare… or the ‘usually’ marketing.
A new chapter in a DC comic .
Named [Superman: Up In The Sky].
It appeared out of nowhere.
It's true that after Regal's influence, MDC Comics had been getting better and better.
The fans were growing.
But the growth was mainly concentrate...

The first schedule of [Iron Man] completed successfully and the team is currently in prep for two days, before they dive back into filming.
Regal sat in a Unique FX conference room that felt aggressively cheerful.
However, this meeting wasn't about [Iron Man] VFX’s.
Concept art covered the walls - dragons, ogres, talking animals in various states of development.
Leo Woert and David Scott sat ...

….
The filming of [Iron Man] had begun.
After finishing three months of pre-production, the first schedule began.
Regal stood in a converted warehouse in Playa Vista that had been transformed into a terrorist cave in Afghanistan.
Robert Downey Jr. sat shirtless in the center of what looked like a scrapyard explosion, a glowing arc reactor prop embedded in his chest.
Wires snaked across his torso.

Two months into pre-production of building sets, costumes, and the most important thing - Iron Man - suits, the results are finally showing.
At this pace, the filming should begin in about a month.
Well, at least that is what the perp team working on the [Iron Man] film was told.
"Making this huge suit fit a human can't be easy, no matter what. They've gone with CGI for all the high moments anyway."

The camera panned across the joyful feast. The Hogwarts school, once divided and fearful, was restored in celebration.
The score swelled - triumphant, warm, final.
The Red Stuido. logo shimmered once more, the credits rolled, and the theatre lights began to rise.

The lights came up slowly, as if reluctant to break the spell.
Around the Uncle and Niece pair, the theater stirred - a collective exha...

David leaned back, thoughtful. This isn’t just children’s fare anymore. These villains have real weight.
Excitement rippled through the cinema as the camera panned to King’s Cross. The scarlet Hogwarts Express hissed on its tracks.
Children in the audience leaned forward in glee.
One by one, the Weasleys ran through the barrier - until it was just Harry and R...

The [Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets] will be released tomorrow.
And currently the hotel conference room has been transformed into something between a press junket and a living room.
Chairs arranged in a loose semicircle, no podium, no formal barriers. Just people who had made something together, sitting down to talk about it.
The moderator - Julia Chen from Entertainment Weekly - smiled at the assembled group...

Regal’s Office.
Three months after the release of [Spider-Man: Web of Destiny], the film had finally run its course in most major territories.
Theaters that once struggled to keep up with demand were now clearing space for the next wave of releases, including [Harry Potter].
The numbers, however, told a story that few in the industry could ignore.

The second Harry Potter film, [Chamber of Secrets], had officially wrapped the previous day.
And the only thing left now was the long stretch of post-production - forty to fifty days of editing, sound design, visual effects, and final scoring before it could be released.
Again, the crew marked the celebration in two parts:
First, a smaller, quieter gathering reserved for the kids, stripped of alcohol and late...

Regal’s voice was calm, but it carried like a bell through the half-lit soundstage. “Time is up, Chris…”
Columbus stood there, shoulders slumped, eyes lingering on the children who were still buzzing around in small clusters.
His reply came low, almost pleading. “Do I have to be the one? Can’t you just… take over from here? I did my part. I made the film we agreed on.”
Regal didn’t...

UK. London.
It was the final day of filming for [Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets], and Regal flew to the UK.
Fortunately, he had just arrived on set as the last shot was being captured under the direction of Chris Columbus.
He paused at the edge of the soundstage, quietly observing the carefully orchestrated scene unfolding before him.
Neither Columbus nor the cast had noticed Regal...

The first round of auditions for [Iron Man] began on Monday morning.
Though this was not an open call, the scale was massive by modern industry standards.
Even without the casual passersby, the parking lot outside the casting offices brimmed with hopeful actors.
Some stood alone with scripts in hand, whispering lines to themselves like some kinda mantras.
Others huddled in groups, laughing too loudly t...

“Good, now moving on… the budget you estimated for [Iron Man] sits around 120 million USD.”
“Got that...” Regal replied with a small nod.
For a moment, the room lingered on that number.
Everyone here remembered what Regal had pulled off last time.
The final cost of [Spider-Man: Web of Destiny] had landed at 129 million USD - 3 million under the initial 132 million estimate.

Carrow Seagal, arms crossed. "I don't get it, Regal."
Tolliver Lee nodded in agreement. "Yeah… have you completely lost it?-
“….I mean, why? Everything is sailing smoothly." Carrow continued, his voice rising. "We even agreed to go with your hand-picked, not-so-famous guy as the lead for Iron Man like you wanted. But why are you suddenly touching something like... this?"

The announcement of Regal’s next project - [Iron Man] with Robert Downey Jr. as the lead, definitively became the talk of the industry.
Though the news was already being circulated for months, it was easy to think they would replace him following the magnanimous success of [Spider-Man: Web of Destiny].
They would be a fool if they didn't.
So what followed was criticism, headlines, digging over RDJ’s...

Within two weeks of the trip, Regal finished his trip in Japan, and is now on his way back home.
Rock sat in the adjacent first-class seat, headphones on, absorbed in what appeared to be a complex action thriller on his tablet screen.
His occasional smarks and the way his fingers unconsciously mimicked fight choreography suggested he was completely lost in whatever martial arts novel had captured his attention. <...

Kishimoto leaned back, rubbing his temple. “It’s true… she doesn’t really drive anything yet.”
“Then give her something that scares her.” Regal said quietly. “Something to overcome, fear makes people real.”
The pencil started moving again, this time faster, looser, like Kishimoto’s mind was racing ahead of his hand.
Regal said nothing more, just sat back, satisfied.

Masashi Kishimoto's small apartment had never felt quite so surreal as it did on this final morning of what had been the strangest week of his twenty-eight years.
Two drawing boards set up side by side, his own cluttered workspace where he had struggled with his ninja story for months, and the makeshift setup they had arranged for his unexpected mentor.
The sound of brush against paper filled the quiet space as Regal worked...

“Hey… you thought about what you are gonna do next?”
Regal didn’t take his eyes off the screen. “Why do you suddenly sound like one of those journalists who corner me with a mic?”

A week after [Spider-Man: Web of Destiny] hit theaters, the buzz still hadn’t died down.
That Friday night, the old cinema on 42nd Street was packed to its rafters.
Neon lights hummed outside, casting streaks of red and blue across the wet pavement, and the air was thick with chatter, kids in Spider-Man shirts darting between grown-ups clutching soda cups, ticket stubs flashing in every hand.

As the show completed, the trio friends were on their way back to home - however, they weren't only ones this time -
They are taking something back home.
Martin kept one hand steady on the wheel, the other hovering near the horn out of habit, while the car hummed down the near-empty road.
In the passenger seat, Dev’s body was technically forward, but his entire soul was turned backwards.

The screen went black.
…and how were the reactions of the people that watched the movie?
For a few seconds, the theater held its breath, just a suspended heartbeat of disbelief.
No one had come expecting this, especially from a superhero film.
Yet here they were - blinking through damp lashes, trying to pretend they weren’t.
Some had cried, honest tears slipping free during scenes they hadn...

The lights dimmed in the cinema hall, the chatter died down, and the theater screen glowed to life.
For once, the three boys weren’t jostling or bickering.
Dev leaned forward in his seat, knuckling white around the armrest.
Rayan slouched back, a grin plastered across his face, whispering little quips during the trailers.
And Arav - quiet, watchful, sat with a kind of stillness that seemed older...

The microphones attached to Andrew during the interviews were barely gone before the Hollywood machinery kicked into overdrive.
Spring of 2013 meant more than just [Spider-Man]’s debut, it meant a collision course between Regal’s first Marvel release under MDC Studios and the juggernaut of Pixy, who were betting everything on Power Rangers: New Dawn.
Pixy had been smart.
