Hollywood What If Chapter 113

  For an up-and-ing director like Kazir Grey, it was already a privilege to have three big shots from the Big Six show up to watch the sing.

  This time they were io Grey Pictures for a small sing of Taken. Grey Pictures was a studio/produ pany, so they have equipmeed to filming such as cameras and lighting. They also had a small studio where about 30 people could watch movies.

  Even though his initial iion frey Pictures was just for tax iives, Kazir felt that he o io make sure that the studio had equipment for film-reted things.

  The projector was already set up, and Kazir Grey stood and greeted each guest. Even though he didn't know most of them, he greeted them with a smile.

  'I guess Salvatore works really hard.'

  He looked at his agent and chuckled when he saw that Salvatore Barlowe had dark circles under his eyes... Well, Kazir had dark circles as well. Like Salvatore, Kazir worked tirelessly. He hadn't had enough sleep i few days.

  Of all the actors, only Enzo Park showed up. Scarlett Johansson was not allowed to see the movie without her parents. She was only 12 years old.

  PG-13 means that children uhe age of 13 heir parents to watch the movie.

  As for Liam Neeson, the man was taking a break after months of filming. Aovies were defiiring. Liam Neeso months just to have a positive physique. So he took his time to rest.

  Actors didn't have authority over post-produ, only superstars could influehe director's decision. So far, Kazir had never worked with a superstar, so he didn't have a clear uanding of their behavior.

  He knew a few superstars who had absurd terms in their tracts.

  'Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham. It said that these people are not allowed to lose in a fight. It's in their tracts. Also, they are only allowed to get hit a couple of times. I uand why they have specific things like that in their tracts.'

  Actors have to keep up their appearances. Gettien up in a movie could do irreparable damage to their careers. So they don't want to lose in a fight... Even if it's just ag.

  "Kazir, it's good to see you again. I hear you're busy these days."

  Terry Semel shook hands and greeted Kazir.

  "You're still as busy as ever. Haha, don't fet to read the revisions we made to the script of The Hangover Part 2."

  Terry Semel didn't fet to tell him. Kazir finished writing The Hangover Part 2 a year ago. He had already given the script to Warner Bros.

  Like a normal film pany, Warner Bros was skeptical about the text of the script, so they decided to write a backup script just in case. Although they chose his script immediately after the release of Napoleon Dynamite II.

  They even hired many writers to polish the script. But they felt it was not enough. Kazir's presence was important. Warner Bros believes that Kazir Grey had to read the script befiving the go signal.

  They believe in his ability to make a script. Of course, they would pay him for his work.

  "Don't worry Terry, I'll make sure to attend at least one script meeting this month."

  "That's reassuring to hear."

  Pre-produ on The Hangover Part 2 began. Warner Bros had no choice but to increase the budget now that Ed Helms and Pedro Pascal had established their names.

  Their agents demanded a raise! Which was uandable.

  'If there's just one problem, it's...'

  "Kazir, are you sure you're not ied in direg The Hangover Part 2? I give you a better deal if you want."

  Terry Semel said. The importance of a talented director in making a successful movie was obvious. Everyone in Hollywood believes that Kazir Grey produother successful edy film. For that, Warner Bros was willing to accept any terms, as long as they were possible.

  If Kazir wanted 15% of the North Ameri box office, Warner Bros would say yes. If he wanted 20%, Warner Bros would nod its head.

  Kazir Grey as the director of The Hangover Part 2 was the best assurahey could get.

  "Terry, I have to be ho, my schedule is already full for the four years. I'm going to be busy."

  "What?"

  Terry Semel tilted his head in fusion.

  'Did he sign a deal with the other film panies? Why have I never heard of this?' He thought.

  "Is it because of the ematiiverse you're talking about?"

  "That's right."

  Kazir didn't deny it. Terry Semel had read the script for Taken, and he had also read John Wick. Kazir was trying to create a series of movies that were ected.

  "I see. Well, if you're having trouble, you go to Warner Bros."

  As long as Kazir Grey rofitable, film panies would do their best to work with him.

  But Taken was different. To be ho, Terry Semel felt that the script didn't have the X factor. The plot was mediocre and the a sequences had too much hand-to-hand bat. It was also pretty brutal.

  Also, Kazir was a newer to aovies. He didn't have enough experienbsp;

  Still, Terry Semel would never say it in front of Kazir. He still he man to tihe Hangover franchise. Even if The Hangover was only a trilogy. sidering that the cast's saries were on the rise.

  Kazir also weled Tom Rothman and Michael Ovitz. Just like Terry Semel, the two big shots wao make a e with the up-and-ing director.

  Just like that, the small sing of Taken began with only 23 guests in attendanbsp;
