Hollywood What If Chapter 344
Grey Pictures might have a hard time this year. Although the revehat came back to the pany was huge, their expehis year were also huge.
"We have two methods. Find an ior or take out a loan."
Stel said.
The differeween the Big Six and Grey Pictures was their foundation. Uhe Big Six, who could afford to make a failed movie, Grey Pictures would suffer if one of their movies or TV shows flopped.
Grey Pictures would have a hard time if that happened.
"My advice is to take out a loan. I know 20th tury Fox and other people are excited to i in our movies, but they also want a share of our profits. Taking a loan is better, the i rate is nothing pare to sharing the profits for years."
Stel Willow added, and Kazir agreed. With their status, they could easily find a bank to give them a loan.
The pany is debt-free after paying off the loan 3 years ago.
The loan iion was the 50 million he used to produce Taken and buy the superhero chts from Marvel in 1996.
His credit was good, so banks would definitely approve.
The question was how much to borrow.
"I suggest at least 100 million for a 10-year term."
Seems possible, although Kazir was not knowledgeable about such things. Even his knowledge of taxes was mediocre. To be fair, schools aught taxes when Kazir was a student.
"Let's do this."
20th tury Fox expressed that they wanted Game of Throo be broadcast on Fox TV.
Their inal deal was for Season 1 of Game of Throo be aired on Fox TV, but Season 2 and Season 3 were still uain. After all, no one knows if Grey Pictures has what it takes to make a successful TV show. Maybe Season 1 was the first and st season of Game of Thrones.
But if 20th tury Fox ied in their project, then they have more authority over the project. The broadcast rights and the DVD distributihts. They could also sell the show to other works, depending on how much mohey i.
Taking out a loan was a better choice, even though Grey Pictures had to take on the debt. But that didn't matter, most panies are always i.
Kazir smiled a little... This way his mother wouldn't have a ce to i in his project. He was through with her and didn't want her in his life.

April was one month away from summer, and the industry uood that the promotion of their summer releases would also intensify.
People saw posters and billboards for movies like The Matrix Reloaded, Finding Nemo, and The Equalizer.
They were promising movies that had a ce to win the box offibsp;
April 11th came and Anger Ma, starring Adam Sandler and Jaicholson, premiered. The movie roduced by Sony-bia and Kazir was io the red carpet. Sony-bia and Grey Pictures maintained a close retionship as the two panies had to produce Spider-Man 2.
However, Kazir was too busy and didn't attend. The filming of Pirates of the Caribbean was almost finished, but a small i happened. One of the pirate ships sank into the sea and some of the equipment was destroyed and unusable.
The first weekend of Anger Ma grossed 42 million at the box offibsp;
The following week, Wanted 2 ed and Fremont Smith wao talk to Kazir and Salvatore about his step as a director.
He told them that he o step away from the CCU for a while and focus on his own career.
Well, Salvatore and Kazir had their opinions, but they decided to respect Fremont. Salvatore was Fremont's agent and he hoped that Fremont's project would be successful... Otherwise his value as a director would go down.
Fremont said that he was ied in different genres, but he was still not sure what to make. Perhaps there was a script out there that could catch his attention.
By the end of April, Pirates of the Caribbean had finished shooting. Most of the ses that needed special effects were shot first and Industrial Light & Magic did their job.
April 30th came and Anger Ma made 106.05 million at the North Ameri box office. Sony-bia has been doiely.
On the same day, X-Men 2 was released. X-Men was released before Marvel ics was acquired by News Corporation, so this franchise was not included in the uping Marvel ematiiverse, at least not yet.
Uhe release of Anger Ma, Kazir decided to attend the red carpet for X-Men 2 because Avi Arad and Stan Lee would also be attending the premiere.
Grey Pictures and 20th tury had close ties, and attending X-Men 2 was a sign of courtesy... Although Kazir didn't like the looks of the women around him.
The news of him being topless on the beach went viral and people realized that Kazir was not only talented and handsome...
This was also the reason why he was aloonight, his partner was missing. Kazir talked to Angelina about the promotion before the pictures were published.
She uood why, but she was bitter. In her opinion, her boyfriend's body should only be seen by her and nothing else. After all, Angelina knew what a man Kazir was.
They were not on bad terms... Kazir thought so.
