  Hollywood What If Chapter 12

  Kazir wrote the ses. Fortunately, Napoleon Dynamite has an important part in his heart. He remembered most of the tent.

  Besides, Kazir Grey was fident in his ability to remember movies. As a director, he loves movies so much that he would watch a movie at least once a day.

  'It's unfortuhat I don't have a VHS in my apartment. I have a VHS in the house, but...'

  He shook his head as he remembered that he had already given his house to Cassandra. He didn't regret it. That would be the st time Cassandra would get a thing from him.

  Kazir spent the whole week writing the script and the proposal. He made sure he didn't fet any importaail.

  The sound of the typewriter soothed his mind as he wrote. It was music to his ears. Although it was frustrating when he made a typo.

  Once he made a mistake, he had to rewrite it. He wasted dozens of papers just to finish his script and proposal. But it was worth it, he was doing what he loved. He didn't feel tired at all.

  "Huu--!"

  Kazir threw up his arms and groaned.

  'I don't know why, but it feels good to stretch your body after long hours of sitting.'

  Indeed.

  Kazir got up and looked out of the window. He noticed that it was already evening.

  He smiled bitterly, time was really passing and he didn't eve.

  It was already March 28 and the post-produ of Se7en was still going on. Kazir decided not to tact David Fincher and trated on his new script.

  He trusted David Fincher and believed that he would make a successful movie. Besides, Kazir's tract clearly stated that he didn't have the right to participate iing and post-produ.

  Even if he had suggestions and opinions, he khat the producer and director had the final say.

  "I have to get up early tomorrow and tact Fox Searchlight Pictures.

  Napoleon Dynamite was distributed in North America by Fox Searchlight Pictures, while Paramount Pictures handled iional distribution.

  "Before the movie goes overseas, it has to prove itself domestically. Fox Searchlight Pictures is the ohat took over the movie, and I want to keep it that way as much as possible."

  Acc to his recolle, Fox Searchlight Pictures was only founded in 1994, which was st year. After Disney acquired Miramax, 20th tury Fox decided to follow suit and create a film studio that would focus on indepe films.

  Fox Searchlight Pictures had the chts to 'Slumdog Millionaire', 'Bck Swan' and of course 'Napoleon Dynamite'.

  'That's from the future, there's a ce it could ge.'

  Kazir rested on his bed and closed his eyes. He wao get some serious rest so he would not look haggard in front of Fox Searchlight Pictures.

  .........

  ......

  ...

  "So, you're Kazir Grey. I hear you're the writer of Se7en, which is ing out iember, is that right?"

  "Yes, Mr. Rothman."

  "I see..."

  The man opposite Kazir was Tom Rothman. The man had short hair and wsses, he looked calm and mature. This man was the founder of Fox Searchlight Pictures. The CEO of 20th tury Fox.

  Kazir was actually surprised that he would meet a big shot like him.

  The new CEO, Tom Rothman, proposed a udio that focuses on independeny films. Of course, he had to make sure the first project of this studio would be successful.

  Tom Rothmahe script seriously. He learhat Kazir Grey had actually sent Se7en's script and proposal in hopes that Fox Searchlight Pictures would i in the movie.

  However, Kazir Grey didn't have enough credits at the time.

  In fact, the only reason Tom Rothma with him was because of Se7en, which would be released iember.

  If Se7en was successful, it would mean that Kazir had talent.

  "I see you want to make this movie yourself, is that right, Mr. Grey?"

  "Yes."

  Tom Rothman frowned slightly when he heard the ao be ho, he was not fident that Kazir Grey would successfully finish the movie.

  'He even wrote his st three movies. All of them were small-budget movies that went straight to videotape market. At least he has enough experience, but still...'

  "It says here that the movie needs 500 thousand dolrs, do you think this amount is too much?"

  "No, sir. I think half a million dolrs is enough to make it."

  "I see..."

  Tom Rothman thought seriously. He weighed the pros and s of the script.

  As the founder of the studio, Tom Rothman wao make sure that Fox Searchlight Pictures would be successful. Otherwise, his position might be unsteady.

  'The genre is edy, and it's accepted worldwide. The answer is whether this movie eain audiences.'

  "Mr. Grey, we will get back to you ter."

  "Thank you, Mr. Rothman."

  Kazir smiled and shook his head. At least Tom Rothman didn't show any obvious dislike. Their first meeting had been amiable.

  [IMPORTANT NOTES: So I've been thinking about this for days. I'm having trouble deg which ematiiverse Kazir will film once he's famous.]

  Should he go for:

  1) Diverse [The Dark Night Trilogy with Christian Bale + The Man of Steel and other DC movies].

  2) Marvel ematiiverse [Iron Man and the other Marvel movies, but the Incredible Hulk will be part of the universe.]

  3) Spies, Assassins, Hitmen, Criminals, and Agents Universe. [This is an inal universe I'm pnning. I will bihe John Wick, Fast and the Furious, Taken, Wanted, and Bourne series into one ematiiverse].
