Hollywood What If Chapter 226

  "And cut! Let's reshoot this se after a ten-minute break. Tell the make-up artists to make you look sweaty and exhausted."

  Kazir announced and the actors stopped ag. Their assistants provided them with drinks acc to their preferences.

  The se they were about to shoot was the one where Wesley Gibson shot the wings of a fly.

  Wesley Gibson was shitless and scared because there was a gun poi his skull while he was trying to shoot the fly. He was supposed to be sweating, scared, something Kazir suggested to Ben Afflebsp;

  As the cast rested, Man Freeman approached Kazir.

  "Kazir, I know I'm getting too much, but I want to thank you again."

  "Man, all I do is reend the right actor. You shouldn't thank me."

  Man Freeman was cast in Bruce Almighty, which would be released in the summer of 2000.

  Sony-bia was fident in this movie and they promoted it even though it was still early in the year.

  First of all, the protagonist was Jim Carrey and his box office appeal was strong. Based on that, they khat Bruce Almighty would do well at the box offibsp;

  On top of that, the swriter of this movie was Kazir Grey! Everybody khat every script written by Kazir was successful.

  From Se7en, directed by David Fincher.

  Napoleon Dynamite II. And the sequel that was to be released this summer.

  The Hangover Part 2 grossed over half a million dolrs at the worldwide box offibsp;

  Meet The Parents was acquired by Paramount and grossed 330 million on a produ budget of only 55 million.

  In addition, Kazir has written all of the films he has directed. And they have all been blockbusters.

  Sony-bia was fident that Bruce Almighty would be the face of this year's edy, other than Napoleon Dynamite III, of course.

  Man Freeman had always had the role of the old, mature guy, and frankly, he always hat role. Studios would usually hire him just to be that mature old guy in their movies.

  Man Freeman took advantage of that, and now he had a lot of roles that had to do with being a mature old guy.

  He heard from Sony-bia that Kazir had reended him for Bruce Almighty.

  "I said that I want to work with you again, and I didn't expect the time to e."

  With an invitation and a good sary from Grey Pictures, Man Freeman happily accepted the role of Sloan. Kazir's films were all hot, and Man wao be a part of it.

  "I'm happy to hear that."

  The two talked for a few minutes before Man excused himself. He didn't expect the swriter he met a few years ago to be the most-sought director.

  Even Michael Bay could not pete with Kazir in status and fame. The explosion-lover directan his film career in 1995, the same year as Kazir.

  Michael Bay directed Bad Boys, The Rod many aovies. While Kazir focused on edy for two years, Michael Bay became iial among aovie fans.

  However, this position was overtaken by Kazir Grey. There was a discussion about both of them, people could not help but pare them as they became famous at the same time.

  If Michael Bay focused on explosive ses where everything explodes and burns to pieces, then Kazir focused on realistid-to-hand bat and shootouts. They have different styles.

  Kazir looked around and his eyes nded on the woman wearing a brown tank top and pants.

  Angelina Jolie noticed someoaring at her. She turned and found Kazir. She bit her lip and griheurned a flirtatious look before talking to the makeup artist again.

  "... Did something happen while we were on vacation?"

  Harold Witsend appeared beside Kazir. He noticed that something was differeween Kazir and Angelina.

  "What do you mean?"

  "Angelina was stealing g you the whole time we were filming. I know that the reason you stopped filming was because Angelina mistakenly stared at the camera. To be precise, she was staring at you who was staring at the monitor through the camera."

  "Well..."

  It seemed that a veteran like Harold Witsend knew a lot about people's mentality. Maybe being a producer had ged his perception.

  "Not only that, her looks are strange. Like, she gives you the 'fuck-me' look."

  "Let's just say we got closer after the vacation."

  Harold just here was o ask more. It was already obvious from their iions.

  "By the way, I heard from 20th tury Fox that they already have an actress to py the female lead in Legally Blonde."

  Legally Blonde was another script Kazir sold to 20th tury Fox.

  He reewo actresses for the lead roles, and they were Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz. These two actresses had good box office appeal and could carry the movie with their fame.

  "I don't know if you're ied, but I'm going to tell you anyway." Harold knew about Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz and their past retionship with Kazir.

  Frankly, Harold was impressed that Kazir would reend them even though their retionships were over.

  "Reese Witherspoon got the role. The crew had trouble deg between Cameron Diaz and Reese Witherspoon. But the director preferred Reese, so she got it."

  Kazir listened quietly.

  'I guess Cameron Diaz lost again.'

  Cameron Diaz wao steal the role from Reese Witherspoon to get her revenge. But it seemed that Legally Blonde would still be part of Reese Witherspoon's filmography. Sometimes fate was hard to ge, no matter how hard you tried.
