Hollywood What If Chapter 5

  Kazir Grey. A man who died at the age of 59. Fortunately, for unknown reasons, he returo his younger years. Back when he was still an amateur director, where he directed three movies, and all of them flopped.

  Now Kazir thought about the differeween him and David Fincher.

  Kazir had four decades of experience as a director. But he never had his moment of success, his moment of fame. He did his best to finand create artistid horror films, but he never got success.

  However, he loved his job and Kazir never po ge his career. If he had to die, he wao die direg a movie.

  That was the reason why Kazir wao uand how David Fincher became successful, unlike him, who remained in his position as a mediocre director.

  'I'm not stupid. I have lived long enough to uand the differeweewo of us. It's about lud opportunity. I never had any of that in my life.'

  Kazir's love life was ugly and lonely. His marriage failed and he never married again. He remained single. He had a few retionships, but ed long.

  'Cassandra lost i in me because I keep w hard... Is it wrong for a man to work hard? I have to provide. Unfortunately, she wanted more and I 't give it to her.'

  To end his mistake early, Kazir didn't hesitate to give his house to Cassandra. He didn't anyway. He could sell it. However, he never wahe money from the house that sheltered a cheater, might as well give it all to Cassandra.

  'What I want is to find the 'opportunity and luck' that great directors have.'

  There were many talented directors in Hollywood, but only a few proved their worth.

  Kazir's experience was not enough, he needed more.

  "Looks like you two hit it off," Arnold Kopelson looked at the two directors.

  "We spoke on the phone. David will be direg, while Kazir will join the swriters. I just want to repeat it so that everything is clear."

  "No problem, Arnold. I will not fight for the position. I think David will make a great movie." Kazir assured him.

  "That's good to hear." Arnold nodded and looked at David.

  "I believe this movie will bring us success."

  "..." Arnold kept his smile aheir proposal.

  "To be ho, the script looks promising, but I need more to vihe pany to make this movie. Kazir, how much will you sell us the script for, including the cht?"

  Produ panies uood the importance of cht. Most of their ine came from it, such as the sale of videotapes aed merdise.

  "How much do you think it's worth, Arnold?"

  "We'll buy it for 85,000."

  "Make it 95,000. I don't have a problem with that. We settle up ter."

  "Nice doing business with you, Kazir."

  "I will call my wyer to read the tract, then I will sign it."

  They shook hands and firmed the transa. Kazir didn't have a because he was dropped by his st ohere was a flid now Kazir was on his own.

  Kazir was already happy with the money he would get. A writer could get 2-3 pert of the total film budget, if not, more. In his case, he had already earned a lot by turning his script into a movie.

  'I'm still not famous in the industry and it's impossible to iate a higher price. Besides, I don't want to prolong the process. The soohe iations end, the sooner repare the movie.'

  His real iion was not the money. His purpose was to study David Fihe money came sed.

  "Arnold, about the movie..." David joihe versation after Kazir and Arnold fiheir iations.

  "Don't worry David. I will talk to the pany, you join the proposal if you want. But I 't assure you that your sary will be high. After all, "Alien 3"..." Arnold Kopelson was hesitant to tihe sentenbsp;

  "You talk to my agent, I know we have a peaceful iation."

  sidering David's st movie, he khat he would never get a high sary.

  "No problem. Let's talk tomorrow to make this movie successful."

  Arnold shook their hands and walked away. The first iation was fruitful and everyone ositive that they wao work together.

  "Well, who do you think are the best actors to py the twonists?"

  As they walked, David asked Kazir something important. As the writer, David would respect Kazir's opinion.

  "Well... If you're asking me, I think Brad Pitt and Man Freeman fit the characters well."

  "I have no problem with Man Freeman, his ag in Shawshank Redemption is amazing, but Brad Pitt? The one who was in "Interview with the Vampire"?"

  "Yes, that Brad Pitt."

  "Let me see... He really fits the protagonist. Let's invite him to audition as soon as the filming is approved."

  It seemed that David Fincher had no problem with Brad Pitt.

  "What about Denzel Washington and Al Pao? I think the roles fit them too."

  "I'm fih them too." Kazir chuckled.

  'David, I'm sure you'll like Brad Pitt's ag. After all, you did ''Fight Club'' and Brad was one of the protagonists. Then you filmed "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," and Brad Pitt was also the protagonist.'

  These two movies touched the hearts of many people.

  A day ter they received a call that New Line ema wao talk to them about the movie - Se7en. A gritting crime thriller.
