Hollywood What If Chapter 248
Kazir met the producer for the first time, it was a meeting with some of the Marvel staff. They were choosing the e designs for Spider-Man and Green Goblin.
At first the meeting eaceful, the Marvel ics staff had a nice versation with Kazir... They wao know what Kazir inteo do with the superhero characters that Grey Pictures had bought from them.
Marvel ics was at its lowest point and they were trying to find a way to turn things around. They felt that movie adaptatiohe way to go. After all, this geion preferred movies than ibsp;
The Bde movie had a great response and Marvel ics found that their superheroes had what it took to be on the big s. They made a profit on the movie as well. Unfortunately, the adaptatihts was bought by New Line ema and Marvel ics couldn't maximize their profit.
hat Marvel Studio, the produ pany responsible for the MCU, had not yet been formed.
However, profit was still profit.
So yes, these employees wao know if Kazir was going to sabotage them or not.
At first they wao buy back the chts of their superheroes, but Marvel had to buy them in a signifit amount, and as if Grey Pictures would sell them easily.
But the success of the tial ematiiverse made them realize that Kazir Grey definitely had a pn for their superheroes. As for what it was, they hoped it was something positive.
In fact, Marvel ics pushed the idea of w with Kazir Grey and Sony-bia supported their desire because Kazir was a great director.
He had experieh adaptations, as The Bourne Identity was based on a novel, and Kazir did a good job with that project.
Anyway, the situation in the meeting room turned sour when a e designer showed up to present her work. The woman wao be a fashion designer, but breaking into the fashion industry was not that easy. She is currently w as part of the e design team.
When the crew saw her designs, they nodded and khat her art sheets were the best yet. They were also detailed.
Most of the crew on this project were nrey Pictures, but were hired by Sony-bia, so Kazir did not know the woman.
"I think this is the best we have so far."
He admitted, and everyone around him agreed. Except for the producer.
"Um... Actually," Jezebel Salome, the producer of this projeudged her gsses and said her opinion.
"I think the Green Goblin looks silly. The audience will make fun of our vilin if we make the Green Goblin look like this. We should go with the earlier one, his designs are great."
Jezebel smiled at the designer, but her eyes were not so sympathetic.
"..."
Kazir stopped speaking for a sed. He looked at the designs instead.
'This is actually the e that Willem Dafoe wore in the movie. Except for some color schemes, they are basically the same,' Kazir recalled.
Now the question was. Should Kazir go along with the producer?
'As expected, w with people you don't know will have some plications.' He thought.
"Jezebel, the designs are very close to the ic terpart. Although I agree with you."
"I'm gd we have the same idea..."
"We should drop the purple color and make the suit all green, shiny green."
"..."
Jezebel stopped talking. She looked down at the art pages and nodded weakly.
"Okay... Okay, we do that."
The mood in the room improved after that. Now they have e design referehey should now look for the cast who would use these es.
Kazir khat keeping the inal cast was the right thing to do. The inal movie was successful and he admitted that the cast art of the reason.
So Kazir personally invited Willem Dafoe to audition. Willem Dafoe was the te Marcus in the tial ematiiverse and he now had a status in Hollywood.
Many fans expressed their sadness when Marcus died and Willem Dafoe's image was good because of that.
So when he received a call from Kazir that the director wanted him to py the vilin in a superhero movie, the actor was hesitant. Aust maintain their image. If he accepted the role, it might affect his public image.
After all, people hate vilins. His status as a protective father was still raring.
However, after reading the script, Willem Dafoe admitted that he was ied in the role. Norman reen Goblin was not a 2-dimensional character. He had a good reason for turning evil. That got Willem's attention.
In the end, Willem Dafoe did the audition. The agent was against it, but not that much. The director of this project was Kazir Grey, who was responsible for Willem's ret fame in Hollywood. Maybe Willem wao return the favor. Besides, who wouldn't want to work with Kazir?
Hell, more and more actresses were trying to flirt with him just because they wao work with the director.
Reese Witherspoon, Cameron Diaz and Angelina Jolie worked with Kazir... There was a rumor that in order to have a ce with the guy, you had to work with him first.
So, yeah, it affected the auditions for the female roles.
"Willem, there's o test your ag. Everyone here knows you're a great actor. I testify to that."
"Thank you, Kazir."
"I guess we both have an agreement then?"
2/3 of the people in the audition room were from Sony-bia and Marvel id they didn't have a problem with Kazir's decision. They all saw Willem Dafoe's audition and it was amazing. Plus, his look fits the Norman Osborn they had in mind.
"I'm going to call my agent."
"I hope we finalize this as soon as possible."
"I hope so too."
