Hollywood What If Chapter 364

  "Are you excited for Wanted 2?"

  "Hell yeah."

  Alexa Nguyen weakly replied as she watched the movie trailer oelevision.

  The trailer for Wanted 2 seemed extravagant and impressive. It said that Kazir taught Fremont Smith how to make a pelling trailer by showing him his formu.

  There was something about Directrey's trailers that pelled audieo see the movie. Sihen, art professors and other directors have studied his trailers. They wao know how to get people excited.

  As one of the members of Grey Fans and the lucky oo meet the director in person, Alexa was excited to see the movie.

  She was an film art student who wao be an actress, so she was quite knowledgeable about movies and TV shows.

  In her opinion, Wanted was the movie that paved the way for the success of the tial ematiiverse.

  Sure, both Taken and John Wick were released before Wanted, but Wanted was the most signifit of the three franchises.

  It showed the relevance of each film and made people more ied in the characters. A lot of people would buy or rent DVDs just to keep up with the plot. Especially teenagers who wao keep up with the trends.

  Alexa dreamed of w with the famous director. She was so happy when she realized that she was one of the lucky fans to meet Kazir in person at the premiere of The Equalizer.

  She stayed up all night iheater waiting for the premiere of The Equalizer to end.

  Whe the director, she realized that the guy was down-to-earth and humble... He was also damn handsome, and Alexa admitted that she had a crush on him.

  Suddenly, she remembered that Kazir and Mara were supposed to be siblings. Out of curiosity, Alexa told Kazir that she was Mara's cssmate.

  "Director, I'm your sister's cssmate. I also studied at the California Institute of the Arts."

  "Sister?"

  Kazir frowned slightly at first. Then he seemed to remember something. Instead of smiling, his mood turned sour.

  He looked at Alexa and said.

  "I'm sorry, but I don't have a sister."

  "Huh?"

  Alexa was stunned and realized that Kazir was not fortable talking about it.

  Fortunately, the director didn't mind and tihe meet and greet. He eveed them to a fancy dinner.

  The fans were happy with the event, they received personal memorabilia, autographs and rare merdise from Grey Pictures.

  In fact, Alexa was lucky enough to get a copy of Kazir's dance.

  Yes, Kazir had a clip of him dang Napoleon Dynamite's daeps and he . It was rare footage!

  Alexa couldn't help but watch the video every week. It became her way to rex.

  She was excited now, she wahe days to go fast so that the st week of October would e. She was so eager to watch Wanted 2. She even prepared a tuxedo just for the premiere.

  Bck tuxedo became the uniform of Grey fans, derived from the outfit worn by John Wibsp;

  .........

  ......

  ...

  There were no big movies released iember, and October had a little petition.

  Many studios adopted the style of releasing movies they were not sure about in October. Movies that they weren't sure could make money, but they had already ied a huge amount of money, so they couldn't let them sit on the shelves and rot.

  In the first week of October, Paramount released School Of Rock. It made 19 million in its first weekend.

  The sed week saw the release of Mystic River, produced by Warner Brothers. It made 13 million in its first weekend.

  The same week, Kill Bill: Volume 1 was released. Miramax has never been fident in peting with the Big Six in the summer, so they usually release their heavy hitters from October to December. Depending on how the pany's schedule works.

  Kill Bill was a famous movie, directed by a famous director in his niche, Quentin Tarantino. Obviously, the movie would show at least one foot se...

  Quentin Tarantino's filmography slowly gained popurity because his movies had something unique about them.

  However, it could never be dehat his movies would have a hard time fag the mainstream genres and mainstream audiences. A lot of people appreciated his works, but his movies hardly made mo the box office. In fact, the highest grossing movie in his career was Django Uned, which earned 426 million. To date, this movie has not been made.

  Quentin currently had one successful movie at the box offid that ulp Fi (1994). The audience was not sure if this so-called Kill Bill would make any mo all.

  But surprisingly Kill Bill: Volume 1 actually made money. 22 million dolrs on the first weekend.

  Miramax saw the potential and promoted the movie, of course with the help of Walt Dishe retionship betweewo panies was gettier thanks to Harvey Weinstein and Rer.

  Ihird week, Texas saw Massacre from New Line ema. This franchise had so many movies and New Line ema did a good job of cultivating the franchise. The budget for each movie was small, but the profit was sometimes ten times the budget.

  Also, the profit from the DVD market was huge because horror movies have always been part of the movie culture. God knows hoeople love to watch horror movies in their houses.

  The fourth week and a lot of people were excited, to be precise, the people who were fans of CCU were excited to see Wanted 2. The movie was to be released on October 24th. But it was not that easy, Wanted had two oppos that could prevent its domination.

  Scary Movie 3 was a famous parody franchise created by Miramax.

  Bear Brother had a serious theme, although it was a eant for children. And yes, it was made by Walt Disney.

  It was ironic that Wanted 2 was going up against Miramax and Walt Diswo panies Grey Pictures never liked.

  Everyone in Hollywood was eager to see the oute of this petition.
