Hollywood What If Chapter 22
Kazir checked his appearance. He looked pretty good, especially now that he had burned off his belly fat. Signing up fym membership helped a lot.
Now Kazir was much healthier than he had bee time. He was fit, although the bags under his eyes were still there. After all, he hadn't slept for days.
If Rector had not begged him to rest, Kazir would never have left the editing room.
Kazir wore a suit wheered the New Line ema building. He asked the receptionist, and the woman directed him to the sing room.
There he found David Fialking to Arnold Kopelson.
"Kazir! I haven't seen you in months! I hear you're filming."
David approached with a smile. They were both having the "best" day of their lives, sidering they both had bags uheir eyes.
"Yeah, I just finished shooting. I rented a studio to edit my movie."
"That's good to hear. If you need any help, you ask me."
"I won't be polite then."
"Kazir."
Arnold Kopelson came over and shook his hand. They were not strangers and they had a good retionship.
"How is your day Arnold?"
"Everything is going well. David is w hard."
A few mier the people from New Line ema showed up. Robert Shaye looked at Kazir and nodded.
Se7en began to py on the s and they watched it ily. All Kazir could say was that David Fincher's filmography would flourish from now on.
His films would be cssibsp;
Se7en, a great murder mystery detective genre.
Fight Club, amazing, the twist was 'wtf'.
Zodiaother murder mystery.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, um, another murder mystery.
Gone Girl, a pretty ironic movie, but this movie made more than 300 million dolrs at the worldwide box offibsp;
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, deep, a masterpie my opinion.
Kazir thought that apart from Christopher Non. David Fincher was the best noir filmmaker of the current era.
'Noir films...'
In the past, Kazir dreamed of being the best director of this genre. However, he failed miserably.
So from now on, Kazir would ge his style. As much as he could, he would ouch dark R-rated movies, especially horror movies. Instead, he would settle f-13 and aovies.
'Aovies, I will make aovies for the sake of aovies. For the sake of the audienot for the sake of the critics.'
Art films go to hell. Kazir would make ercial films instead.
But for now, the best he could do was use Napoleon Dynamite as a springboard.
His budget was only half a million, so he decided to make the best movie he could. Once he had enough status and money, Kazir would definitely choose aovies.
"gratutions David, the movie is great." Kazir hugged David. He was happy to see the script he had written bee a movie.
"Don't gratute me yet, we haven't shown it to the market yet."
"Don't worry, I'm fident this movie will have a stroion."
Suddenly another person approached them.
"David, the movie is great."
"Me too, Mr. Shaye. I hope we work together again."
"Hm," then Robert Shaye turo Kazir. The founder of New Line ema looked haggard.
"I heard you're shooting a movie."
"Yes, I have already finished shooting. I'm editing it now."
"If you're ied, you taew Line ema."
Robert Shaye would be happy to buy a movie that has a strourn on iment. If Kazir's movie was worth it, of course he would buy it.
"It's an honor."
Kazir's first choice was actually Fox Searchlight Pictures, but he didn't have to be picky.
Robert Shaye left the two. New Line ema had to e up with a marketing pn for Se7en.
"Hey, did you hear? There's a rumor that Time Warner is going to buy Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. Maybe that's why Robert Shaye looked tired."
New Line ema was owned by Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. If Time Warner bought Turner Broadcasting System Inc., then New Line ema would naturally fall into the hands of Warner Bros.
Kazir just kept smiling.
'It is not a rumor, New Line ema will be under Warner Bros. in the near future.'
He just hoped that Se7en would not be affected.
David invited Kazir to dinner and they talked. Now that David's work was almost done, he wao take a bottle of beer and drink it all down.
"So you made a edy? Strange, I thought you preferred horror movies?"
Kazir's first three films were B-grade horror movies. So David thought his current project was also a horror movie.
"No David, I want to ge."
In a way, making a edy was like shedding a new skin for Kazir.
"ging for the better is a good thing. Seicket when it es out."
"You don't have to worry."
"Where will you show it first? Will you submit it to the Berlin Iional Film Festival?"
"If I have no choice. But the Berlin Iional Film Festival is in February. My movie will surely be finished by then, so entering a film festival is my st choice".
"Once Se7en bees popur, I'm sure many panies will approach you."
"That's right."
The two started drinking beer like there was no tomorrow. They wao let go of their work and have fun.
When Kazir woke up the day, his head hurt, almost as if his skull was being drilled.
