Hollywood What If Chapter 104
Kazir received a message that he had to take a limousio the red carpet. It seemed that 20th tury Fox wanted everything to be grand. Kazir had to agree.
"Napoleon Dynamite didn't have a red carpet st time, so they're probably trying to make up for it."
Well, nobody expected a 500,000 movie to make over 250 million.
When Kazir's moment came, he stepped out of the limousine and waved his hand.
Reporters began taking pictures of him. He paused for a few seds and stood still. Then, before he could ehe theater, he was interviewed by a Fox TV reporter.
"Directrey, you are the first director of Napoleon Dynamite and you wrote the script for the sequel. How fident are you that the movie will be successful?"
"It all depends on the fans."
He smiled and ehe interview... He didn't like interviews very much. He knew some reporters who would go out of their way just to make him unfortable. They would ask troversial questions just to stir up the actors.
They were quite brutal. They had no respect for privabsp;
"Kazir, I miss you."
Reese Witherspoon walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Yeah, I've been away for a few months. How's work?"
"The director is quite a bully. Hugo Lameire is terrifying, I prefer w with you."
She smiled and ed her arms around his.
"We talk about it ter."
"Geez, you really are serious in public. That's what I like about you, I want to monopolize your private side."
Kazir shrugged and walked on. Then he found Tom Rothman and directo Lameire. The two were talking.
'If I'm not mistaken, Hugo Lameire wao make his own movie. But he has to make sure that Napoleon Dynamite is a box office hit first.'
Napoleon Dynamite has never had a sequel in the past. It had a TV show, but it ended quickly without success.
But now Kazir got to the point where he was writing the sequel. Frankly, he had no idea how this sequel would go.
This was the reason why Kazir didn't want to direct the sequel, because he was afraid. It was normal to be afraid, people have these emotions for survival.
Instead, he made another edy movie to increase his chips, which was The Hangover. It was a worldwide success.
'I'm not going to lie, I'm a coward. I'm not going to make a movie that I'm not fident in.'
He decided to give full authority to 20th tury Fox ahem decide. He was only responsible for the script... Even the script was made by the heads of five people. He hired writers just to make sure it would not fail.
50-50 ce. That was what he deduced.
Tom Rothman found him and he CEO of 20th tury Fox approached him and shook his hand.
"Let's hope this movie is successful."
"Tom, you should be fident in your movie," Kazir replied.
"That is true. However, I will be more fident if you are the one direg it."
"..."
Kazir didn't know how to answer because he could see that Hugo Lameire had an ugly face a few meters away.
It seemed that Hugo Lameire was trying to talk to Tom Rothman about something, but Tom Rothman wasn't having it.
He was clearly angry. As if he had been taken advantage of.
'... Not my problem.'
This thing had nothing to do with him. First of all, Fox Searchlight Pictures chose Hugo Lameire to be the director. Kazir had no authority over that. So that kind of thing was not his problem.
'Although I'm not sure if he's looking at me or Tom Rothman.'
Looking around, Kazir noticed that most of the cast was at the premiere.
Ed Helms and Pedro Pascal also greeted him. The two wao see if Kazir was ied in making The Hangover Part 2. Apparently, Warner Bros was still looking for someoo take over the movie.
Ed Helms and Pedro Pascal knew Kazir was a great director. At least their experieh him was much better than with Hugo Lameire, who kept yelling like a bitbsp;
"I'll think about it."
That was the only answer Kazir gave. To be ho, he was not sure either. If Taken was no good, then Kazir had no choice but to keep making edies.
'The Hangover Part 2 will start shooting at the end of the year. I still have time to decide.'
In fact, he was grateful that he had another way to sustain himself if Taken was a box office flop. He could go back to filming The Hangover Part 2 once he hit ro.
Still, he only has to do Pn B if he has no other choice. He's not going to let Taken be a flop. The movie was successful in his past life, he just had to make sure it would be successful this time.
After the lights went out, everyone became quiet and sat down. They khat the movie was about to start.
The front of the audience was filled with people associated with the movie, such as the cast and produ crew. Behind them, the fourth and fifth rows were filled with fans and critics who had received premiere tickets.
"I heard that director Lameire has signed a three-movie deal with 20th tury Fox."
Reese Witherspoon, sittio Kazir, whispered and informed him.
"Hm." Kazir just nodded. He had no idea why Reese was telling him this. Was it reted to the reason why Hugo was seething?
"I heard that Warner Bros is inviting him to direct The Hangover Part 2."
Suddenly everything was clear. Napoleon Dynamite and The Hangover were both edies, but The Hangover had a much better audience respo also had a better box offibsp;
If The Hangover sequel was taken on by Hugo Lameire, it had a better ce of being a success. The Hangover was one of the top 5 movies st year. Its impact was much better than Napoleon Dynamite.
But because of the tract, Hugo Lameire was tied to 20th tury Fox for a few years.
That might be the reason why Hugo Lameire was gring earlier.
