Hollywood What If Chapter 47
"So I guess this is our cast."
Producer Enrico Pusi read out the actors who had passed the audition. He looked at directrey who was tapping his fingers oable.
To be ho, most of the important roles in the movie were taken by Kazir's acquaintances.
Well, that was the way Hollywood worked. Directors like to hire actors they know and work with.
Tim Burton and Johnny Depp.
David Fincher and Brad Pitt.
Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio.
Christopher Non and Michael e.
Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.
And so many more.
Let's just say that directors like to work with someohey trust.
It was a known fabsp;
Of course, producer Enrico Pusi tried to include some of his acquaintances in the film.
Both of them uand that this is the way Hollywood works. As long as the actors and actresses fit the roles and their ag is good, they would agree to hire them.
"Enrico, I hope the actors sign the tract as soon as possible. I want to start filming in a month."
"I uand."
The movie didn't need serious tohe mission of The Hangover was to make the audience ugh.
As long as the audience ughs, the movie is half successful.
'You just have to make that half successful into a profitable half. As long as people see the movie and make mohat's all that matters. '
"That's my job."
Producers were usually the ones who would iate with actors for sary. More precisely, the producer would talk to the agents. Then the day of war would officially begin.
Fortunately, all the actors were small time. Only Ed Helms was the hardest to vince. With the success of Napoleon Dynamite, Ed Helms' agent would definitely ask for more than a million.
"That's good to hear. Now, if you will excuse me. I have a party to go to."
Kazir was io Tom Cruise's party.
To be ho, he didn't know why he was invited. He had only a few iions with the famous actor. In fact, he was not even sure if Tom Cruise remembered him. After all, Kazir was just a crew helper at the time.
The audition was officially over and the crew had the list of actors they wao hire. Of course, they also have rept actors.
For example, if Ed Helms didn't agree to the sary and turhe role down, producer Enrico Pusi and director Kazir Grey could hire their sed choistead.
After all, there is no such thing as irrepceable in Hollywood.
People say that Robert Downey Jr. is the only Iron Man. But everyone knows that the reason he became Iron Man was because Tom Cruise turhe role down. So basically, the first choice for the role of Tony Stark was her than Tom Cruise.
"No one else is calling?"
Jack Bck leaned ba his chair holding a bottle of beer. He had just finished his audition and decided to have a drink after a hard day.
The audition has so many actors. It was a very stressful moment, especially for an unknown actor like him.
"No, there's no call..."
His agent was sittio him. They were both nervous. This was a on a lifetime opportunity.
Jack Bck had been personally io the audition. So they believed his ces of getting the part were high.
His part was one of the three main characters! Of course he was nervous.
That was why they were drinking, to relieve their nervousness. Because the stress is killing them right now.
Suddenly, the agent's ph.
They both jumped in surprise. The agent answered the phone a saying "yes, yes, yes".
Jack Bck listened o him.
When the call ehey paused and looked at each other.
"... You have the part, but they only offer you 25 thousand dolrs."
"We both know the answer."
Fuck the sary.
What they need is the opportunity.
Besides, they didn't have the ability to iate the sary.
If the agent tried to iate, the producer would probably choose another actor with a lower sary. It was that simple.
"Don't worry, I already said that you agree. You 't refuse it now."
"As if I would turn it down."
"We'll go to Warner Bros tomorrow and sign the tract."
The two started ughing and ordered two more bottles of alcohol.
Like Jack Bck, the other actors who got the roles celebrated.
Even Ed Helms sighed with relief. He knew his position recarious. One wrong move and he could fall and his career. He received a few invitations, but decided to work with Kazir again. As the director who made him famous, Ed Helms trusts him.
... As for the sary, his agent would be responsible for that. This was Ed Helms' first time ag in a 35 million movie.
While dozens of actors were celebrating, Kazir arrived at Tom Cruise's party in Beverly Hills.
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were still married that year. They were still living "happily ever after".
"Good evening, Kazir Grey."
"Hello, Mr. Cruise. Hello, Mrs. Cruise."
As the hosts of this party, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman Cruise greeted the attendees.
"I 't believe that the young guy I met o of Rain Man is now a successful director. gratutions Kazir!"
"Tom, I 't believe you remember me."
Kazir was happy to know that a superstar like Tom Cruise remembered him.
"To be ho, I still remember your face. We had a versation back then. You said you wao bee a director. I thought you had already given up. But when I heard about Napoleon Dynamite and saw your fa the neer, I suddenly remembered our versation."
"I'm gd to hear that."
Kazir could tell that Tom Cruise was not lying.
Kazir Grey was a helper on the crew of Rain Man. It was his first job after leaving his father's house.
It was then that Kazir had a versation with Tom Cruise. After the success of Top Gun, Tom Cruise became one of the most famous actors in Hollywood.
But Tom Cruise had the patieo listen to Kazir, a young delusional.
A young man who believed that he would bee a famous director without knowing anything about the industry was delusional. Even Tom Cruise believed it.
But who would have thought that the maalked to in 1988 would actually make his dream e true?
So Tom Cruise decided to invite Kazir Grey to his party. He was ied in the man.
