"No, I mean making movies—disaster movies—to subtly make the public accept our work and let them know that a group of people is quietly protecting this world."

"Look, the Costa Rica incident is great material. We can change it a little. To attract public attention, keep the island, but make the protagonists scientists instead of agents. The enemy won't be Egghead or giant insects, but dinosaurs! What do you think?"

Daisy roughly described the plot of Jurassic Park. Such a classic movie didn't even exist here—it was practically a crime. With just a few changes, she could turn it into a blockbuster.

Phil Coulson was dumbfounded. He stammered, "Does this have any meaning?"

Daisy lightly slapped the table. "Of course it does. First, it gives ordinary people a sense of crisis. The world isn't safe. The reason they're safe is because someone is making sacrifices. Second, it helps us build a good relationship with local governments. From the mission locations recorded in the files, most of them have been abandoned. The governments have grievances against S.H.I.E.L.D. If the movie becomes a hit, we can later develop those places into tourist attractions."

"Finally, it can ease the atmosphere within the agency. Agents are people too—ordinary people. A single bullet might take away a companion's life. Let everyone relax a little and have a little more joy. I think that's a good thing."

After finishing her explanation, she waited for Coulson's opinion.

Coulson thought for a minute, then used the legendary divine skill: kicking the matter upstairs for his superiors to consider.

He asked Daisy to wait, then took his phone outside to request instructions.

Daisy took out her tablet and slowly refined the script, wondering who should play the lead roles. Many of her memories had become blurry, but she vaguely remembered that Director Fury had played a role in Jurassic Park back then? Was she going to let him play himself again this time?

Half an hour later, Coulson finally returned.

"The Director says you can do this, but only in your personal capacity. You'll be responsible for coordinating everything. The actors should preferably be rookies who haven't gone on missions before. S.H.I.E.L.D. can provide funding and technical support."

Daisy readily agreed.

She walked out thoughtfully, then suddenly remembered something and turned back. "Coulson, I heard you worked as a director for a few days before?"

"...That was when I was using a cover identity."

Daisy acted as if she hadn't heard him. "Then you'll be the director of this movie. I'll be the producer. Practice the basics of directing again when you have time. All right, that's settled!"

Without giving him a chance to refuse, she waved and left.

"Me?" Coulson felt a wave of absurdity. Him, a director? His level was only good enough for filming TV dramas! Still, there were benefits to getting involved—namely, preventing Daisy from making mistakes. After thinking it over, he decided he still needed to report to Nick Fury.

After leaving the office, Daisy went to find her two fake best friends.

Hill was still somewhat embarrassed and remained distracted.

Sharon was simply stunned. "Making a movie? Jurassic Park? That island we went to?"

Daisy said it was exactly that island! They would use its natural environment to build the movie sets and create a timeless classic!

It had to be said that in the United States, aside from Daisy, most young men and women had some dream of becoming big stars. Hill and Sharon were tempted for a moment, but when they thought of their respective missions and responsibilities, they both shook their heads. Even though Americans were practically blind when it came to recognizing faces, they still weren't suited to appearing in public.

Daisy didn't like showing her face either. She simply disliked it, that was all.

None of the elite trio planned to act, but the other two could provide her with some connections.

Peggy Carter had been a diplomat for decades, and her connections spanned the world. By now, most of her old acquaintances were dead, but her banner had not fallen yet. The descendants of some people who had benefited from her help could still offer assistance.

Sharon helped Daisy contact the Costa Rican ambassador, who would introduce her to the local government.

Hill had always stayed by Nick Fury's side and had extensive connections as well. She could help negotiate several product placements.

The Director had agreed to provide funding. For a massive organization like S.H.I.E.L.D., whose daily expenses ran into hundreds of millions of dollars, the money needed to make a movie was practically nothing. Hill also helped arrange meetings with several advertisers, and by the end of the afternoon, fifty million dollars in funding was in place.

In the original timeline, Jurassic Park had been filmed in 1993, with a production budget of sixty-three million dollars. But that had involved a famous director, highly paid actors, and all kinds of insurance measures, all of which piled onto the cost.

Daisy didn't need any of that. They could use internal agents as actors and pay them a token salary. There was no need to worry about set construction, computer-generated effects, or the actors' physical abilities.

With S.H.I.E.L.D.'s name behind them, they could directly market the film to various countries, and most would give them some face. They could save more than half the promotional costs as well. After calculating all the miscellaneous expenses, Daisy estimated that she could still skim ten or twenty million dollars...

First, she ordered the maid to establish a new company called Skye Pictures.

James Wesley didn't understand why she was taking such a huge step into a different industry, but the moment he saw the fifty million dollars, he immediately shut up.

Selling laundry detergent was also highly profitable, but there were too many intermediate links, and very little truly ended up in their hands. Fifty million dollars in funds that could be mobilized at any time was still extremely shocking.

Daisy held thirty percent of the new company's shares, while S.H.I.E.L.D. held the remaining seventy percent.

Although she hadn't invested a single cent, she would have to handle all the affairs herself.

She left the filming crew to Coulson. S.H.I.E.L.D. had all kinds of talent.

The script was simple. She could write it based on her memories, then have professionals revise it slightly before it was ready to use. The actors were what Daisy needed to think about.

She had originally planned to give the two scientist roles to Fitz and Simmons. When they learned that they could become stars, they were nervous beyond belief.

But after the audition, Daisy discovered a problem. Simmons had no issue playing the long-legged female scientist. She was a biologist herself and matched the character very well. The role didn't require particularly profound acting skills, either.

Fitz, the male lead, was completely inadequate. He was too green, became nervous in front of the camera, and had no acting skills whatsoever. From the male lead's initial impatience toward the two children to the final scene where he fled from dinosaurs with them, Fitz simply couldn't portray that emotional journey.

Daisy could only arrange for him to play the second male lead, the curly-haired mathematician. Fitz's performance in that role was passable.

"Who should play the lead?" She rested her legs on the desk and racked her brains.

Preferably someone handsome and good at acting.

One candidate, though helplessly, still automatically jumped into her mind.

Grant Ward, Daisy's lover in the original timeline, a Level 7 Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. and, in reality, a Hydra spy. He was handsome, and most importantly, he was an excellent actor! As long as he didn't expose himself, no one would know he was Hydra.

Coincidentally, the male lead of Jurassic Park was also named Grant.

Daisy felt conflicted, and an even stranger feeling filled her heart. Still, she decided to find Ward and at least ask for his opinion.
