  Hollywood What If Chapter 174

  Palenque Simone rubbed his eyes as he watched the movie on the big s.

  Normally, watg movies was eaining and rexing, uhe movie was a horror movie. Horror movies were for the purpose of sg the audienbsp;

  In this situation, the movie in front of Palenque Simone was a horror movie. However, he didn't feel scared at all. In fact, he was bored and sleepy.

  'It really hurts my eyes to watch such a movie! The camera shakes so much that my head hurts! Besides, I feel like this is not a movie at all. It's like footage! Not a professional movie at all.'

  Around this time, the found footage genre did . The Bir Witch Project was the first kind of its gehat became successful. It basically popurized the genre.

  Besides Bir Witch Project, Paranormal Activity and Cloverfield were also found footage movies.

  Anyalenque Simone didn't know why his boss told him to watch this movie and try to buy the rights.

  Palenque Simone was an intern five years ago. He graduated from San Diego State Uy with a degree in psychology. But he didn't want to go to a hospital or bee a selor or anything like that.

  Instead, he was ied in the minds of movie characters. He loves to study the psychology of movie characters.

  He studied Catheriramell, a fial character from Basistinct. He especially likes to study Hannibal Lecter... The guy was quite iing.

  Of course, Palenque was not crazy. He just wao know how psychopaths think.

  Because of this hobby he decided to work in Hollywood. The first project he took part in was a great success. It was her than Napoleon Dynamite.

  Remembering his life in Hollywood, Palenque Simohat he had it better. At least he had a steady job and the sary and bonus were amazing. Since all the films that Directrey made were successful, the bonus he received was also siderable.

  In addition, his job was now the director's assistant after his friend, Fremont Smith, started his own movie.

  Palenque could not help but sigh. It would be a lie to say he was not jealous.

  Palenque and Fremont were on the same starting line, but now his position was higher than his.

  Well, Fremont Smith had experien filmmaking because he had graduated from a film school.

  In addition, he signed a tract with Salvatore Barlowe, which made his way easier. One of the reasons why Kazir Grey decided to help him.

  'At least my sary increased...'

  To be ho, Palenque was ied in making a movie, but his experience was not enough. He needed more time to gain experiend knowledge to be a director. Not that being a director is easy.

  Before being an assistant director, Palenque art of the props team, responsible for making and preparing background ses.

  "Hm?"

  Suddenly, he realized that the horror movie was over and stood up as the credits rolled. He was still fused as to why he was here and why he had to buy the movie.

  'Directrey watched the movie two days ago while hiding his identity. Then he called me and said that I must buy the movie, but I must not show any iion of being ied in the movie so that the price won't be high.'

  In order for this to happen, Directrey told him to buy the film o day of the sing.

  The Sundance Film Festival sted ten days, and today was the st day.

  The audience cpped tiredly a. In fact, only a handful of people watched the movie. The answer was obvious, the movie was not good at all!

  Still, Palenque Simone decided to face the director of The Bir Witch Project just to finish the job.

  With a business smile, Palenque found the director and opened his mouth.

  "Hello, are you the director of this movie?"

  "Me? Yes, I'm one of the directors of this movie. I'm Daniel Myrick."

  Palenque nodded. Most of the time only one director is credited in a movie. That might have something to do with the Directuild rules that only one director be credited on a movie.

  Still, others have co-directors in movies, such as the brothers and the Wachowski sisters.

  In The Bir Witch Project, two directors could be credited because they were nistered in the Directuild of Ameribsp;

  "I'm Palenque Simone, and I'm ied in buying your movie."

  Directrey said that Palenque could not say his affiliation at the beginning, to keep the information hidden.

  Hearing Palenque's words, Daniel Myrick was stu first. But he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

  "I'm sorry, but I 't, not anymore. Someone already bought the movie yesterday... I apologize."

  Daniel Myrick thought this movie was nonsense. So when he heard that someone was ied in buying his movie, he didn't think twid sold it for 15,000.

  He thought the buyer would back out, so he sold it quickly.

  Now that someone was ied, he could not help but feel helpless. Life was never fair.

  "I see. Then I know the pany that bought it?"

  "I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to tell you."

  Palenque sighed. He just wasted his time here. He was not even sure how to expin this to Directrey.

  With no choice, Palenque Simohe Sundance Film Festival and found the opportunity to call his superior.

  "I'm sorry, director, but the film is already sold."

  "It's okay. You go baow."

  "Yes."

  Kazir was not very ied in the movie. He was ied in the profit, but cheating the whole try with viral marketing retty dirty in his opinion. It was different from his fake retionship with Cameron Diaz. Well, their retionship was not teically fake because they were actually dating, albeit with an expiration date...

  "I wonder who bought the movie..."

  Kazir thought to himself.
