They will care the same producers, same 74 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: quality people on and sometimes they care the same actors 75 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: and actresses to different projects. And that's called relationship. People. 76 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: You can trust people understand your direction.
