  [Note: As I said st time, I apologize if I made a mistake regarding the Hollywood industry. I will surely make another mistake no matter how many times I research it].

  For a movie with a budget of at least 30 million dolrs, the higher-ups of New Line ema attehe meeting with utmost tration.

  "Before we start, I just want to ask something," Robert Shaye said, and everyoopped what they were doing.

  Robert was the CEO and founder of New Line ema. He had built the pany from the bottom up into a top-tier produ pany, just below the Big Six. Naturally, everyone in the pany respected him.

  "Kazir Grey, I read your script."

  Because Arnold Kopelson was ied in the script, Robert Shaye read it as well. He realized something.

  "Are you sure you don't need any help?" He asked jokingly, quite seriously to be ho.

  "About that..." Kazir Grey scratched his head.

  "I was kind of depressed when I wrote the script. I retly divorced my wife, she cheated on me..."

  "I'm sorry to hear that." Robert Shaye quickly uood.

  There have been writers who hit the charts after writing a story when they were depressed and broke. Even J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter when she was broke.

  "No problem."

  Truth be told, Kazir Grey didn't care about the divorce. He gave up his house just to get the settlement over with.

  'It's a good thing I have an excuse.'

  "Then... I read the st part, I see you hate your wife very much." Robert Shaye ughed. The st se was horrible. He got goosebumps reading it.

  For a script to give him goosebumps, Robert Shaye khat the script was at least promising.

  "Hehe, no, not at all." Kazir Grey never denies or firms. After all, the movie was from the near future and he just copied most of it.

  "Okay, let's start the meeting."

  Kazir Grey was invited only because he was the scriptwriter. However, he uood that his position and opinion were irrelevant at this point. The purpose of this meeting was to make sure that the movie would be approved. New Line ema would finance half of the budget, while the other half would e from iors ied in the film.

  They decided that the actual budget of Se7en would be 33 million dolrs.

  Kazir sighed with relief when he heard that the board of directors had approved the making of Se7en.

  David Fincher, who was sittio Kazir, was also excited and happy. David's ageiated with New Line ema and his sary was 1.5 million. Since he had experien making a big-budget movie, the parusted Se7en to him.

  Now the preparation of the movie officially began.

  After Kazir received his payment from New Line ema, he decided to enroll in a well-known gym in California.

  "he..."

  He anting after using the treadmill. He was sweating a lot a like he was going to faint. He sat down on the bend rested.

  "Are you okay?"

  "Huh? Yeah, I'm fine."

  Someone approached him because he looked like he was going to faint.

  Kazir looked up and his eyes trembled slightly as he reized the person in front of him.

  The woman was definitely beautiful. She was in her 20s, but she looked young and blooming.

  "Excuse me, but are you Jennifer elly?"

  "I'm surprised anyone would reize me." She smiled beautifully.

  "No, no. You are a famous actress. Of course I know you. By the way, I like Career Opportunities and The Rocketeer. You are really beautiful in person."

  Especially "Career Opportunities", Jennifer elly was a goddess in that movie. God damn geous!

  The young Jennifer elly is the bomb! Of course, even in the 2010s, Jennifer elly was still a goddess.

  "Thank you." She smiled. She was happy that someone appreciated her.

  "Well, be safe and take care of yourself. You look like you're killing yourself." She left, knowing that Kazir was okay.

  '... Did I just see it right? Jennifer elly asked me if I was okay.'

  That made Kazir happy. After all, he khat famous actresses like Jennifer elly usually have an arrogant attitude.

  It was surprising that Jennifer elly was actually a nice person. Maybe Jennifer elly was just worried because Kazir anting like crazy.

  He chuckled and decided to run another mile oreadmill. Tired, he left the gym.

  "Hollywood, a pce that surprises me every day."

  He would never get tired of this city.

  Kazir returo his small apartment and showered. He rehis apartment for half a year. The location was quite dangerous because it was near a crime-ridden area. However, Kazir chose this apartment because the rent was affordable.

  It didn't take him long to himself. He left his apartment and called a taxi to take him to the New Line ema.

  "Good m, Kazir."

  "Good m, David."

  David was the director of the movie and his presence was important in polishing the script. Now that their movie was in the making, it didn't take long to hire people.

  There were three writers besides Kazir, of course Kazir's position was much higher thaher writers because he owhe script.

  'It is fortuhat I have a sary as a swriter.'

  A thousand dolrs a week was definitely not bad.

  "The's get to work, everyone."

  After greeting everyone and firming that all the writers were present, David Fincher annouhe start of their work.
