Hollywood What If Chapter 28
Kazir and Salvatore Barlowe had a brief verbal agreement.
The real reason was simple.
Kazir really needs a. As soon as Se7en made more mo the box office, film panies would tact him.
The one who usually talked to those panies was the agent. The two sides would start making offers aiating. The t would only show up ohe deal was finalized .
Besides, Kazir didn't want to be bothered because he was still editing Napoleon Dynamite.
The other reason was Salvatore's hoy. Cutting the ission to 3 pert was actually a tough move for a. It basically reduced his ine.
Although if Kazir became a successful director, Salvatore's decision would be the right one.
To Kazir, Salvatore showed a tendenble.
'Well, I'm also gambling with my future. So I empathize.'
All Kazir could do rove himself. To make sure this young-looking agent would never regret his decision.
"Kazir, about the movie..."
"Don't worry, I'm half dowo-thirds, to be exact. But I want to take it slow. At least wait for the box office of Se7en this week."
Se7en was released iers for five days and made 23 million. He wao see if the movie's performance would increase this week.
"Okay. I will wait then," Salvatore nodded.
He was just a new agent and Kazir hadn't signed a tract with him yet. It was just a verbal agreement.
He khat making a movie would take time.
"You give the tray wyer first and I will sign it ter."
"That's good to hear."
The two men shook hands firmly.
Several years ter, many agents would regret their decision of not signing a tract with Kazir Grey.
'I didn't know Salvatore Barlowe in my previous life. He is probably not famous and his ts are small-time actors. But I'm just like him. I'm not famous in my past life.'
There were famous agents in Hollywood like Pat Kingsley, Kevin Huvane, and Bryan Lourd.
Kazir knew damhat these agents would never look at a small-time director like him.
They went their separate ways after the meeting. In a way, their first meeting was eventful.
"Let's call my wyer first so that he will not be surprised."
Kazir tacted his wyer wheuro the studio.
"Hello, Terrence? Yeah, it's me. Oh e on, are you still mad at me fiving the house to Cassandra? What? You're disappointed in yourself for not defending your t against a cheating bitch? Dude, let's just fet about it. I have a job for you. Yes, it's job-reted. Yes, you will get a tract ter. Okay, thanks."
He sighed. The first hurdle was successfully overe.
The first five days of Se7en were a great start and Kazir could finally rex his nerves.
"Hello, Directrey!"
"Hm?"
Suddenly, before he could ehe editing room, a womaed him.
Kazir turo see Reese Witherspoon approag him.
"Reese? Why are you here?" He was fused.
"I'm here for the dubbing."
"Ah, I'm sorry, I fot."
Maybe because of too much pressure, Kazir didn't remember that part.
Reese and the other actors have to dub their speeches in the movie. So far, Ed Helms had the most lines, and he finished dubbing all of his lines in just two weeks.
Reese was attending ag school, so she was very busy during those days. She also had a part-time job. She listeo Kazir's suggestion.
When shooting a se, there was usually a problem with rec the sound. That's why dubbing was needed.
'I hired a sound director st week.'
The sounds you heard in the movies were usually created by the sound director. I'm not talking about music, I'm talking about sound.
The sound of pung might be created by sound directors by literally pung a pieeat. Sound directors are an important part of post-produ.
"This will be my st day dubbing, so Director Kazir, you please do me a favor?"
Reese smiled sweetly and leaned closer to Kazir.
Kazir caught her st. If he was being ho, Reese smells so good. Of course, he was a man reciated the st of a woman.
He smiled bitterly. As a man who had just been divorced st October, he wao stay away from retionship as much as possible. However, a raging man like him couldn't maintain his rationality for long.
He needed a release. Oher hand, he wao keep his sanity.
"After my dubbing is over, I take you out to dinner?"
The one who initiate the first move was Reese!
"..."
Kazir kept his smile. To be ho, he wao say no.
"Reese, I'm sorry, but..."
"Are you going to say no again? Mr. Grey, you're quite annoying."
She smiled, but not a smile. To be ho, she didn't know why she was doing this either.
Maybe she was just ied in Kazir after watg his shooting. Unlike most directors who would yell and scream, Kazir was alatient and encing. Besides, he was quite good and handsome while doing what he loved.
The other reason was her pride. She had already beeed three times, so she wao win a victory by sedug him... What do you know? A woman wants to prove her worth by sedug a stoi... maybe?
In that respect, Reese saw this as nothing more than a fun but frustrating game.
"What do you think, Mr. Grey?"
She said and moved closer to him, almost toug his broad chest.
