Hollywood What If Chapter 163
Just as Kazir expected, Universal Pictures went quiet after tag him. Perhaps they were skeptical about the offer a like it was not worth it.
Maybe Universal Pictures was waiting for the results of Meet The Parents in January before making another move.
Or maybe they wao sign a distribution deal with Grey Pictures to get the script.
Bruce Almighty was a great movie starring Jim Carrey. If Kazir remembered correctly, the movie had a sequel called Evan Almighty.
'Although I don't remember the box office of the movie, not that it matters. I'm getting busy and I don't know if I write the sequel.'
Kazir Grey had a good stret the m and started his day. His office was fully furnished.
Erica Mendez arrived at the office at 8 a.m. o and saw that Kazir was already at work... Her boss was a workaholic freak.
"Erica, have you found a professional mao take over some of the work?"
"Sir, you just annou yesterday."
"Haha."
He sipped his bitter coffee, quite disappointed. Grey Pictures was being more and more successful, and it was slowly making him exhausted.

...
Harold Witsehe neer and nodded. Sometimes Kazir's creativity and imagination amazed him.
He had known Kazir for almost a decade. They met in June 4, in the year of 1989. He never fet that date.
He realized that Kazir was gettier every day. He watched him improve until people started to respect him.
The script of The Hangover Part 2 was not magical. It was very clichéd and simple. But by bining all the best elements, it produced terrific results.
After two weeks, The Hangover Part 2 had grossed 185 million. Everyone already thought that the movie was a success.
So people started gratuting Harold, even though he had nothing to do with the produ of The Hangover Part 2. Enrico Pusi was the producer of the movie, not him.
"Kazir is indeed a talented guy."
He khat Kazir was a hardw person. Now that his talent was blossoming, Harold expected Kazir's filmography to be amazing in the five years.
'If there's ohing I'm fused about... I don't know why he's so fident that Matt Damon is going to ask for 7 million. Matt Damon is still a newer to the industry. He only has two leading roles. The Rainmaker and Good Will Hunting.'
In a way, Matt Damon was not qualified to ask for 7 million.
Saving Private Ryan and O's 11 have not been released yet, so Matt Damon's sary should be within 4 million at best. Well, it seems that Kazir Grey made a mistake. He is a human being after all.
"Good m Harold."
"Oh, hello! Wilson!"
Harold realized that the person he had been waiting for had arrived. However, he was fused to see that Agent Wilson Marrera had a panion.
"I'm sorry, but this is...?"
He looked at Wilson and asked.
"I guess you never met him, this is Matt Damon."
"o meet you Harold."
Matt Damoended his hand for a handshake.
"It's o meet you..."
Harold kept his posure, but deep down he was shocked.
'Excuse me? Matt Damon? Nah, dude, you're not Matt Damon. Matt Damon is fug skinny!'
The man in front of him had gained dozens of pounds. The innoce was gone and he looked mature and strong. Indeed, Matt Damon was serious about pying Jason Bourne!
To be ho, Harold didn't expect Matt Damon to show up. He also didn't expect the big ges.
'This is my seeeting with Wilson and we already have a baselio discuss.'
"By the way, Harold. gratutions on The Hangover Part 2! It's a great movie!"
"Thanks."
Harold's lips twitched. This was the fourth time this had happeoday.
'Enrico Pusi could strangle me if he found out about this.'
After the introduatt Damoheir table. The presence of the actor would affect the iations. Besides, his agent would not settle for less. Agent Wilson will fight for a better sary aer ditions.
After a few versations here and there, Wilson and Harold began to talk about the most important thing.
"4 million! I think my t has enough credibility to get that amount."
Agent Wilson dropped the first figure.
But Harold Witsend smiled instead.
'Kazir, you are damn wrong. Who said they were going to ask for 7 million? Four million dolrs! They are only asking for a 4 million sary!'
Harold was gd that Kazir was wrong. Still, Harold Witsend won't let things go acc to Wilson Merrera's pn.
"Wilson, your t has only had two leading roles i few years. He doesn't have strong box office appeal. He is still young, not an experienced actor. Even Good Will Hunting, his best film, didn't win at the Oscars."
"Who's the reason he didn't win?"
'Liam Neeson and Kazir Grey...'
Wilson gritted his teeth and muttered. Matt Damon lost Best Actor a inal Spy at the st Oscars. Maybe his age was a factor.
"Hehe, let's not talk about that. 2 million dolrs! That's the best I do."
"3 million!"
"2.1 million!"
The agent in charge of his t and the producer in charge of the project began tue.
Both sides had a good impression of each other, but business is business.
Their seeeting ended with 2.8 million as the baseline.
As Harold left the building, he decided to call Kazir.
"Kazir? Yes, that's right. I already talked to him. Anyway, that's not why I wao call you. Maybe you o meet Matt Damon before we decide to cast him. What? No, he just gained weight. Well, if you ask me, I think he looks tougher now."
