  Hollywood What If Chapter 197

  F*ght Cl*b was one of David Fincher's masterpieces. It was a cult cssic that remained relevant for the hree decades. People loved to watch the F*ght Cl*b

  The movie was based on a novel and David got the movie rights because he loved it so much. He wao direct the movie because of course it had an amazing plot.

  They invited Brad Pitt to join the movie. David Fincher and Brad Pitt had a good retionship and this was their sed time w together.

  This would not be their st time w together, a few years ter Brad Pitt would also star in another David Fincher movie. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

  Se7en, F*ght Cl*b, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. These three movies had iing plots and David Fincher filmed all of them. He was good at his gehe nenre.

  After Kazir and Cameroered the theater, the cast came out one by one.

  Kazir and Cameron were not the stars of this movie, they were just guests.

  Brad Pitt and Edward Norton appeared and did short interviews... Fortuhey were not high this time.

  At the Venice Film Festival four weeks ago, the first premiere of F*ght Cl*b took pce. The movie was iing, but the partits hated it.

  At this time, Hollywood movies were better than fn movies. It may sound desding, but it was the truth. The directors from different tries who participated in the film festival uood the importance of winning. First of all, the Venice Film Festival was in Europe, and European directors never liked Hollywood.

  The critid the directors hated the film. This hatred was directed at the crew of F*ght Cl*b, and Brad Pitt and Edward Norton clearly felt it.

  The Venice Film Festival sted ten days, so to cope with the situation, Brad Pitt and Edward Norton decided to smoke weed. Yes, they were high while the F*ght Cl*b had a premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

  Of course, F*ght Cl*b never won the Venice Film Festival. But the funny thing was that Eyes Wide Shut, directed by Stanley Kubrick, won the FilmCritica "Bastone Bianco" Award. It seemed that Hollywood movies were still doing well at European film festivals.

  So yes, Brad Pitt and Edward Norton were not high this time. At least it didn't seem that way. The film's premiere in the Uates eaceful.

  Kazir Grey talked to David Fincher and gratuted him even before the film was released.

  David was happy that Kazir was fident in his movie, it eased his nervousness a bit.

  Unlike David Fincher, Kazir Grey khe oute of the movie. Although F*ght Cl*b didn't do well at the box office because of its theme and plot, it did very well on videotape sales.

  Obviously, F*ght Cl*b was the kind of movie people preferred to watch at home, not in a movie theater. Shawshank Redemption was in that category.

  "Kazir, I'm gd to see you again." Brad Pitt was the one roached Kazir this time.

  "You too, Brad."

  Kazir Grey shook Brad Pitt's hand. The two were acquaintances, and they had had some iions i of Se7en.

  Brad Pitt didn't expect Kazir Grey to bee a successful director after Se7ehought Kazir would be a swriter at best.

  He thought Napoleon Dynamite would be a fluke and his movies would flop.

  But his expectations were not fulfilled. Instead of falling, Kazir Grey kept rising.

  The Haaken, John Wid The Bourne Identity. These four movies did well at the box office. Taken had an impa society and won Liam Neeson his Best Actor Award!

  For an actor like Brad Pitt, of course he wao get an Oscar statue. That was true for everybody who art of this industry.

  They wao be reized by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sce. Frankly, Brad Pitt was jealous. Not just him, a lot of actors have been jealous of Liam Neeson's success tely. Heck, Liam Neeson got a huge sary in Star Wars this year! The effect of the Oscar!

  Knowing that Kazir Grey had strong skills, Brad Pitt decided to deepen their friendship.

  'Even Man Freeman got a role in Kazir's so-called ematiiverse.'

  Brad Pitt and Man Freeman starred in Se7en.

  "Your movies are very good, Kazir. I saw The Bourne Identity and it gave me an adrenaline rush."

  "Haha, thanks, Brad."

  "See you around."

  Brad Pitt didn't have to be so obvious. Ohing was clear... He could audition for Kazir's movie. Maybe he could get the role, why not?

  After talking to many people, Kazir returo his seat. He looked around and saw Cameron Diaz talking to her friends. She also returned as the theater filled with people.

  The movie started and the audience focused on the big s.

  .........

  ......

  ...

  "This is very iing."

  Kazir muttered as he looked at the neer. He realized that his existence was indeed ging the future. Now he wondered how many ges he would live to see.

  The front page of the neer was about the big movie release this week, which was F*ght Cl*b.

  The movie was distributed by 20th tury Fox, and the neer Kazir was reading was owned by News Corporation.

  The headline read, "Fight Club grosses 31 million after one week iers."

  Kazir was skeptical, because acc to what he remembered, F*ght Cl*b would only make 101 million at the worldwide box offibsp;

  This meant that the first week of F*ght Cl*b should be lower, definitely not 31 million. But the reality was in front of him.

  The box office of F*ght Cl*b increased in this timeline.

  "Based on its first week, Fight Club could gross over 100 million in North America alone. If that happens, then the overseas box office will also be around 100 million."
