A young director named Tim Burton was given his first chance to direct a major motion picture. However, he ran into a massive problem because the person he wanted to make the music for the film had never created songs outside of his band. To make matters more challenging, this musician actually told Tim no. Despite the rejection, Tim wouldn't take no for an answer. The musician, Danny Elfman, tried to decline, but Tim persisted. Eventually, Danny wrote a piece of music for him, which they put on a cassette and sent to Tim. Danny thought he'd never hear from him again, but a week later, his manager called, saying, 'Danny, you got the gig.' Not only did that movie make over $40 million, but it also led Danny Elfman to create one of the most iconic themes in all of entertainment. In fact, he wrote the theme in just 15 minutes while driving, composing it in his head on the way home. However, this success also led Danny to his most challenging film score ever. It was the hardest score he'd ever worked on because almost nobody wanted him for it. They didn't want Tim, and they didn't want me, but Tim wasn't taking no for an answer
