Hollywood What If Chapter 80
'I know I'm being arrogant and stupid. But I have to. Taken is not just a one-off movie. It's the beginning of a big project. If I decide to agree to the terms of the Big Six, it means I will lose billions of dolrs. Especially if the tial ematiiverse is a success.'
'Gee Lucas did it with Star Wars. Steven Spielberg created DreamWorks. Heh, Gee Lucas sold Lucasfilm, Steven Spielberg sold DreamWorks. They sold the panies, but they made billions. Clearly, it's a winning move. Fuck people who think they should bow down to the Big Six without trying to fight.'
Just like st time, Kazir Grey gambled. So he had to make the movie with his own iment. So that no one from Big Six would trol him ter. Hell, Big Six could use his movies to push their disgusting agenda. Just like Disney did with Marvel.
"I will make my movies ahe film panies distribute them. Of course, I will fight for better terms."
"Am I hearing this right? Kazir, are you going to create your own distribution els?"
"No... I have seen how the Big Six have destroyed their petitors. The Big Six are looking at DreamWorks right now because they didn't want it to succeed. I don't want to be like DreamWorks (and Lionsgate)."
Kazir uood that no one could beat the Big Six. It had been proven for three decades. Even a person from the future could not trol Hollywood by himself. It would never work.
The Big Six would never be the Big Seven. It would only be Big Five. That is, one pany abs the other.
"What's your pn?"
"My pn? Heh. I will make good movies. Ohey are ready, the Big Six will kneel and lick the ground just to acquire 1/3 of my pany."
Kazir grinned.
That was the best example of this situation.
Marvel Eai.
The success of The Avengers led Diso buy Marvel Eai for 4 billion.
'Now, my studio doesn't have any ics. But it will be the first successful ematiiverse of this timeline. I will make sure I get billions out of it. Hm, being a shareholder is not bad, I guess.'
For that to happen... Kazir had to prevent the success of the Marvel ematiiverse or make it his own.
' month, Marvel is going to decre bankruptcy. Let's loot all their heroes then.'
He grinned like the devil.
Since he had already chosen this path, he had to be heartless. Don't give a damn what the other people say.
'I have to apologize to the fans of the Marvel ematiiverse. It is what it is. Maybe they'll hate me when they know what I'm going to do.'
But he had to do it. He wao acquire his future petitor. After all, the Marvel ematiiverse was the most successful ematiiverse of the 21st tury. Not even the DCEU could beat it.
So it was a good choice for Kazir to buy and acquire their superhero characters.
"Let's go Salvatore, we have a lot to do from now on."
"Sigh. I wonder what you're thinking. I know that setting up a distribution el costs a lot of money and it's hard to do, but why are you so ive about it? If you look at it from anle, having a distribution el is the best way to secure money."
"My ao that is simple... I never wao be the king of Hollywood. It's not fun. I want to keep the Big Six on an equal footing. I want to be a director, not a chairman or a president. My passion is making movies, not trolling a pany."
"So you think selling part of your pany is the best decision?"
"... Let's just say I want to see the Big Six fight over my pany. Go crazy over it.
"That's fucked up... But I want to see it too."
They both ughed.
The Big Six had a lot of power in Hollywood. But that didn't mean that other produ panies couldn't make great movies and profit from them.
In Kazir's opinion, money was nothing more than status. Now that he was a millionaire, he didn't want it to be his whole personality. He didn't want his life to revolve around money.
Since his youth, Kazir was fasated by movies. He wao be a director and there was no iween.
'If this whole p work out, I'll be fine as long as I make movies.'
He had faced a lot of misfortune, so fag another one would not make him falter. Instead, his blood was boiling to prove himself to the Big Six.

"Srey, you're asking for a loan?"
The bank manager, Maria Ozzawu, looked at Kazir as she read his loan application. Lending money was not that easy.
"That's right." Kazir nodded.
"It says here that you want a loan of 50 million and pay it back within 3 years, is that right?"
From a millionaire's point of view, getting a loan was good because it was a method of legal tax avoidanbsp;
Kazir's credit was good. In addition, he was a director who made movies worth hundreds of millions at the box office. Borrowing 50 million was no problem.
"What will you do with the money?"
"I will i in my own movie and the rest will be used to buy chts."
Maria Ozzawu he answer was as expected.
"Phew... I thought they would interview me."
Kazir sighed with relief after his loan roved. To be ho, the only relevant information he knew was about pound i. But he didn't know how it normally worked. He was not the type to borrow from the bank.
Kazir had a good financial sense, so he never got to the point of bankruptcy. Especially whe a share of the videotape profits every quarter.
"Salvatore, yes, it's me."
Kazir opened his phone and called Salvatore Barlowe.
"That's right, I got it. Tell Rafael I want to acquire the chts to Marvel's superheroes. Yes, I have a list here. I will give it to him ter."
Marvel was fag bankruptd it was the best time to squeeze them dry.
'I heard they already sold Bck Window, Bde and Captain America. I find a way to acquire them, but first let's get what we get.'
+++++
[Author's note: My decision is still firm, I really do not want Kazir to bee a businessman. Ohat happens, his attention will be divided even if he hires a professional mao run his pany. So I have to choose between being a director or a businessman, I decided that Kazir must still be a director. However, he will never sell the movie chts of Hitman+Spy ematiiverse just like that].
[By the way, shout out to Darui, I think I'm going to call the Hitman+Spy ematiiverse the tial ematiiverse. It has a nice click to it. ]
[And yes, I do not know how loans and loan i work.]
