  Hollywood What If Chapter 107

  Just as Kazir thought, Disney was going to celebrate Ransom, whided its run today. The st sing of Ransom ended in Japan and it was officially released out of the ema worldwide.

  The film grossed 309.5 million worldwide. It was clearly a successful movie. To make that kind of money was a miracle for movies in this era. Only abominations like Jurassic Park and Titanic could make a billion dolrs at the box offibsp;

  Ransom was about a multi-millioom Mullen, whose son was kidnapped. After initially agreeing to pay the ransom, Mullen decides to use the money as a bounty. (IMDb)

  The film was well received in North Amerid iionally. With 136.49 million in North Amerid 173 million iionally, the movie was one of the top 10 highest-grossing films of 1996.

  The produ budget of the movie was 70 million with aimated 20 million iment in advertising in North America. Definitely not bad results. After that, Walt Disney began distributing and selling videotapes of Ransom.

  "Did you take my advice?"

  "I didn't go to any of their parties. I'm not the kind of guy who likes to go to parties. I like to stay in my offid spend the rest of the day there."

  "Hm, that's good to hear."

  Mel Gibson nodded. He patted Kazir on the shoulder and walked away. His face was red from drinking. Mel Gibson and Kazir Grey talked a little. Their retionship was not that of friends. They were more like acquaintances.

  Still, Kazir respected Mel's advice to stay away from Jeffrey Epstein. As a man from the future, Kazir uood that nothing good would happen if he went to Jeffrey Epstein's famous isnd.

  Mel Gibson was the star of this party because he was the protagonist of Ransom. However, because of Mel's behavior when he was drunk, it was hard to talk to him.

  In fact, everyone looked at Kazir with surprise after Mel Gibso. Mel was known to be an alcoholid it was easy for him to get angry when he was drunk. But Kazir and Mel had a peaceful versation.

  They even talked about their projects, sihey were both directors.

  To Mel Gibson, Kazir was a newer to the industry, untainted by the sins of Hollywood. As much as possible, he felt bad to see Kazir go down the dark path. Although it was ironiel Gibson to think about it, he knew damhat he was no saint.

  '... It's really embarrassing when there's no oo protect me from the fierce gazes of women.'

  Kazir sighed inwardly. Normally, Reese Witherspoon would be at the party with him.

  Unfortunately, she was on a promotional tour with the cast of Napoleon Dynamite. They had just finished promoting their film in North Amerid were flying to Europe.

  One of the tedious jobs of being part of the cast was signing a tract that they should join the promotional tour.

  In fact, even a director like Kazir had to participate in such things. He had to attend TV shows in many tries just to increase ticket sales, even if it was one pert.

  'Well, one pert of 100 million is 1 million, so I think it's a job that should be done.'

  But the cast of Napoleon Dynamite was not that famous. Maybe Ed Helms and Pedro Pascal had a little bit of clout because of The Hangover, but they didn't have a loyal fan base to support them.

  Fans were built slowly until their presence was enough to increase box office. Tom Cruise had so many fans all over the world that movie panies were willing to sign a losing tract just to hire him.

  Anyway, Kazir was having trouble because so many womerying to flirt with him. He kept his cool and smiled. He even saw some actresses blush at his attractive smile.

  In fact, Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie and many uping big actresses gave him their numbers. These actresses were not so famous yet and they were looking for an easy job.

  Unlike most directors who had fat bellies, short stature, and eye bags, Kazir Grey oozed mase vibes. The kind of person who qualified to be called a Chad/Alpha.

  Well, some people ged at the word Alpha. But there was a reason it was ied. To describe someone like Kazir Grey.

  A quality man who had a successful career and was good looking.

  Unfortunately for these girls, someone like Kazir was very hard to budge. He would not flinch even if a sexy woman stood in front of him with a lustful look... That might be a lie, but it was still true that Kazir was hard to seduce. He was almost immuo temptation.

  For his status, it was a miracle that he could withstand the ravishing looks of the beautiful women around him. If not for his retionship with Reese Witherspoon, they might have thought Kazir was gay. Many men in this industry became gay for many reasons.

  It seemed that Kazir Grey was just a simple man who was very loyal... That was what made him so iing. Sedug a man like him could give them the satisfa of proving their worth.

  F a loyal man to cheat might be the best way to assert dominanbsp;

  Still, Kazir didn't focus on the vixens trying to snatch him. His eyes were on a certain fat man.

  While the party was going on, Harvey Weinstein was unig with the higher-ups at Dishe people who sided with the Disney family.

  Harvey felt someone looking at him and turned around. He found Kazir Grey standing in the er, surrounded by women.

  "..."

  Harvey Weinstein ched his teeth for some reason.
