Hollywood What If Chapter 85
The audition tinued and this time it was for Bryan Mills' daughter.
To be ho, Kazir didn't care about the age aspect of this role. As long as she could act well enough, Kazir would cast her.
So...
"Hi, I'm Scarlett Johansson."
'You got to be kidding me.'
Kazir stopped writing. He looked at the little girl who was about to audition.
'So this is the t Salvatore sighat bastard, when did he do that? We are talking about Miss Bck Window here. How did Salvatore sign a tract with her? Did I cause a butterfly effect? Probably yes.'
Scarlett Johansson was born in 1984. That means she was 12 years ht now. However, women at that age were usually taller than their male terparts. So Scarlett Johansson looked about 14 to 15 years old. She had light blonde hair, was tall, and looked mischievous.
'I think I know why Salvatore begged me to keep it PG-13.'
There was a se where Bryan Mills' daughter had to wear a bikini... Kazir had to adjust some ses.
'Since he is Salvatore's t, I have to give her a ce.'
The little girl began her audition. Just as Salvatore had promised, Scarlett Johansson prepared for the role. She easily passed the audition and the creleased.
"Thank you, Miss Johansson. We will tact you ter."
The little girl waved before leaving.
"That's it. The cast is set. I want each of them to sign tracts as soon as possible. We will have a script readi week."
"That will be my jht?"
Harold rubbed his forehead. This new job was exhausting. But he didn't want to disappoint Kazir. The only reason he had agreed to this job was to ease Kazir's workload.
"Don't worry. We already sighe troublesome ones. I'm sure each of them won't fight for a higher sary. We always hire other actors."
"I'll try my best."
Harold nodded.
"Don't worry Mr. Producer, we will try to make sure that your responsibility will not be heavy."
"Shut up Renner, you are not helping at all!"
"Hahaha."

The end of 1996 came and New Year's parties were everywhere.
This time Kazir received invitations from many people. Mostly from promi actors who wao get in touch with him.
The success of his st film was amazing.
This year's box office champion was Independence Day with 817.40 million. 20th tury Fox had the st ugh this year. It sold the most tickets worldwide.
In sed pce was Warner Bros.' Twister with 494.47 million worldwide.
The third was The Hahe movie grossed 469.30 million worldwide. And yes, it was also from Warner Bros.
Warner Bros. had the sed and third highest grossing movies of the year. bihe two movies made 963.77 million. In a way, Warner Bros. won much bigger tickets than 20th tury Fox.
Fourth was Mission: Impossible with 457.69 million.
Fifth was The Rock, starring Nichos Cage, with 335.06 million.
In sixth pce was Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. An animated film with 325 million.
Seventh was 101 Dalmatians. Another Disney film with 320 million.
Eighth pce came from Disney again. This time it was Ransom starring Mel Gibson with 309 million.
Pces six through eight were dominated by Disney. Michael Eisner knew how to do business. The three films together grossed 954 million. In addition, Disney sold millions in merdise from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and 101 Dalmatians. They may have made more profit than 20th tury Fox and Warner Bros.
Ninth pce was taken by Universal Pictures with The Nutty Professor. The film earned 273.96 million.
Ih pce was Sony-bia's Jerry Maguire. The movie starring Tom Cruise made 273.55 million.
These were the top ten films worldwide. Yes, they were all dominated by Hollywood. The Hollywood industry was beginning to take over the world.
The top ten movies of the year would probably sell at least a million videotapes each. The cost of a videotape was 30. So each movie could make at least 30 million in the videotape market.
'I didn't have a videotape share, but I look at the statistics for The Hahis month, the videotape sales of the movie were 1.6 million copies. 1.1 million copies ur videotapes and 500 thousand copies of the deluxe edition.'
The non-deluxe videocassette of The Hangover cost 29.9. The deluxe edition cost 59.9.
If the math was right, the sales of the non-deluxe videotapes were 32.89 million. As for the deluxe edition, it was 29.95 million dolrs.
This means that the videocassette sales of The Hahis month were 62.84 million. This month alohe videoctape sales would tio grow through year. It might even surpass the worldwide box office. Especially because The Hangover was a funny movie.
The buying power of Ameris is enormous. They keep the industry going.
At first, the iion of the VCR was frowned upon by Hollywood. They thought they would lose authority over their movies. But what they didn't expect was that the videotape market would save them instead. Now the movie panies had videotape distribution els just to make more mohey signed deals with Blockbuster and Walmart to sell aheir movies.
"Thanks for helpi time."
The womao Kazir giggled and squeezed his arm. Reese Witherspoon and Kazir Grey decided to attend a party in the new year.
Out of the many people who invited him, Kazir decided to attend the Sony-bia New Year's party. Despite their differehe two parties still had a friendly retionship. In fact, Grey Pictures was about to sign a deal with Sony-bia to distribute Taken...
