Hollywood What If Chapter 95
"Cut! This time I want to make a certain adjustment."
Kazir Grey didn't use his megaphone sihey were ihe yacht. There was o shout.
This yacht was mainly used for filming. It was a yacht specially made for the purpose of renting to produ crew to shoot movies or tv shows. So the er of the rooms in the yacht had spaces for cameras and cameramen.
Roman Ponski reehis yacht for them to use. Because of his e, they rehe yacht for a better pribsp;
There were some ses where Bryan Mills was breaking gss walls while fighting the bodyguards... These ses had to be shot elsewhere.
The produ crew was not crazy enough to damage the rented yacht. There was a cuse that they would have to pay if the yacht was damaged.
They only used the exterior of the yacht and some rooms for shooting.
Like now.
"Let's try a different approach this time."
Kazir also uood that introdug the High Table and Baba Yaga in the first movie could be a dangerous move. So he had a pn B.
After a ten-minute break, shooting resumed.
Bryan Mills ehe room to find his daughter being threatened by the Middle Eastern man.
The man pointed his gun at Kim Mills. However, the man knew he was in grave danger. So he decided to iate with Bryan Mills.
"Let's iate..."
Bryan Mills didn't bother to listen and shot him in the head.
Unlike before, the Middle Eastern man died instantly. He didn't say anything about the High Table and Baba Yaga.
Kazir Grey was still struggliweewo ses. Introdug the High Table and Baba Yaga might cause fusion. So he decided to shoot the inal version just to make sure he had two different sarios to choose from.
Filming eoday and the crew dispersed. W at night was obviously double pay for the produ crew. As for the actors, they have different tracts, so they were pretty tame. However, there was a cuse in the tract that the actors should have a fortable pce to stay during the night shoot.
In fact, Liam Neeson and Scarlett Johansson had their own trailers. Liam Neeson was a well-known actor, so he had his own trailer to rest in. As for Scarlett Johansson, she was an underage actress and she sometimes had to study irailer.
As for the extras... The crew could not give them their own trailers. Most of them have to share.
Obviously, since Kazir Grey was the director of this movie, he had his own trailer to rest in.
He leaned against the chair and watched the shots they had acquired today. They mostly focus on expensive shots for the first week to make sure they trol their cash flow.
There were instances where the money ent before they eveed cars and such. So to make sure they knew what they were spending, the produ crew decided to spend big and then gradually trol their spending.
If they didn't have enough cash... They might have to ask for a loan.
Fortunately, Kazir's shooting was fast and precise. There were some mistakes along the way, but it was within expectations.
Besides, this time the situation was different from the st time. There was no WMA to interfere with his shooting. He was in a fn try and William Morris Agency didn't have time to bother him.
As for the film panies, especially the big six, they kept their attitude. They just watd see the results. Kazir's current project was an experiment and the film panies were not sure how to face it.
If his movie wasn't really amazing, they wouldn't approach him.
Kazir watched the shots many times. There were different ao be used aried to find the best one.
A few mier, someone knocked on his door.
"Brother Kazir?"
"..."
Hearing the young girl's voice, Kazir sighed untrolbly. Kazir looked at the entrand found Scarlett Johansson together with her tutor. The tutor dider the trailer.
"Scarlett, I'm busy. It's te now, I suggest you get some sleep because you have a se tomorrow."
"I know. That's why I'm here. I want to ask you about it."
"... e in."
Months passed after Kazir realized that Salvatore Barlowe had signed a tract with Scarlett Johansson. After their first meeting in the audition room, the little girl, for reasons unknown, started calling him brother.
Kazir let it go because he didn't really care. Besides, Scarlett Johansson was too young and he didn't want to reprimand her. So he let the girl call him brother.
But Kazir started to realize that Scarlett Johansson really treated him like ohat she started making fun of him like a real brother. It was cool at first, but the girl gradually lost her respect for Kazir Grey, the director of the movie.
'It is good that she is taking things seriously this time.'
Earlier, Scarlett Johansson had begged Kazir to buy her a croissant sihey were France. Kazir didn't want to upset her and caused a mistake i, so he called one of the interns to buy one.
Scarlett Johansson was still young, but she was already dispying the arrogance of a superstar.
'To be ho, Scarlett Johansson is serious about her role. I see that she has studied the role a lot. However, she is still young and her ag is unstable.'
This was one of the disadvantages of hiring underage actors/actresses.
If not for his promise to Salvatore Barlowe, Kazir might have chosen a young but legal actress instead. He only agreed because Salvatore Barlowe helped him most of the time.
"What question do you have this time?"
"About this one."
Scarlett Johansson poio a se of the script.
"Hm, page 36... Are you asking about the kidnapping of Kim Mills?"
"That's right, I want to know what emotion I should show. Should I be shocked htened?
how about both?"
Kazir chuckled as he listeo the young girl's thoughts.
