Behind The Spotlight Chapter 104
Henry Greyson had reasons why he was hesitant to work on Wyatt Bray's project.
First was the schedule. There might be a conflict if he worked on two projects at the same time, which could lead to exhaustion and overlapping priorities that would affect the quality of both.
Second was the intensity of the job. Being a producer was by no means simple. He had to personally manage everything in the project, from the beginning of pre-production all the way to post-production. Furthermore, he also had to secure funding and answer to investors who demanded constant updates.
Third was laziness... Yes. Do you know how stressful it is to be a producer? You have to face investors and assure them that their money was spent on the right things down to the last dollar. There was even a time in Henry's life when one of the investors slapped him because a core employee in the production crew got involved in a scandal that rocked the entire studio.
Since then, Henry had to double-check every person who worked on his projects: background checks, work history, reputation, everything. He was thankful he met Collin, who could discern someone's behavior.
However, Henry also admitted that working with Wyatt had given him many incentives that were difficult to ignore.
First was money. He earned millions from Week on a Cruise Ship. His salary and bonus totaled around $8 million, that was the biggest payday in his entire career. Most of the time, he'd consider himself lucky to earn even a million or two per project.
The second incentive was status. Henry had been a B-list producer his entire career, and he was well aware of the stigma and limitations that came with it. But working on Week on a Cruise Ship elevated him to a semi A-lister. That success was now cemented in his résumé. If he worked on another box office hit, his status would level up to that of a bona fide A-list producer.
