HOLLYWOOD WHAT IF

[Lillie Jones]

Thanks for the chapter

P.S. Sorry for your loss, thanks for updating schedule. As Newcomers actor ( Bradley Cooper, Jack Black, ) didn't want to make trouble for Kazir Grey on the Hangover movie sets.
Like the callback to Batman and Robin movie film ( Batman suit nipples) fiasco, which years later Christopher Nolan revitalized the "The Bat" genre it would have been still in movie library. The things you learn during a movie interview with Kazir Grey and Company on the publicity reporter questions ?

Hollywood What If Chapter 56



"Sir. The filming of The Hangover has started today."

"Thank you, Nancy."

Tom Rothman nodded after Nancy Utley told him about the news.

Because Napoleon Dynamite was distributed by Fox Searchlight Pictures, Tom Rothman wanted to know the related news about Kazir's next movie.

Warner Bros and 20th Century Fox received the script of The Hangover at the same time. Unfortunately, Warner Bros acquired the movie because of obvious circumstances.

"Nancy, do you know the reason why we didn't fight for The Hangover?"

"Isn't it because of the vulgar theme of the movie? The Hangover has a strong chance to be rated R-Rated and it might not be profitable."

"That's right. Unlike Napoleon Dynamite which has a simple and lighthearted theme, The Hangover has so many profanities. A group of friends went to Las Vegas. After taking drugs, they forgot what they did and one of them was missing."

It was the short summary of The Hangover.

"To be honest, I have this feeling that Kazir can make it successful. Unfortunately, our offer didn't attract his attention."

Kazir was asking for more and they could not negotiate. It was a natural reaction to stop the negotiation.

So Tom Rothman hoped that Kazir's movie would be a disappointment. He hoped that The Hangover would have a bad reception.

Because if the movie became successful...

"How's the script for Napoleon Dynamite II?"

The success of Napoleon Dynamite was still ongoing. So far, the worldwide box office already surpassed $300 million.

The movie would be dropped from the North American cinemas but its global screening would last for another three to four months.

Tom Rothman sighed after remembering that Kazir would receive a 5% North American box office share.

'I should have settled with revenue share instead. At least it's much smaller than 7 million dollars.'

The North American box office of Napoleon Dynamite was $140 million. Naturally, 5% of that amount would go to Kazir.

In fact, Salvatore kept urging Fox Searchlight Pictures to settle the account.

"The creation of the script is halfway done."

After Kazir sold the copyrights of Napoleon Dynamite to Fox Searchlight Pictures, the company sent two writers to oversee the creation of the script.

Kazir already gave the general plot of the movie and he let the writers turn it into a complete script.

Of course, Kazir attended the script writing to make sure that the script would turn out great. Napoleon Dynamite had a very important part in his heart.

"That's good to hear... Since Ed Helms is still filming the movie, don't contact him about the sequel of Napoleon Dynamite for now. No, I advise you to wait for The Hangover's release week before contacting them."

Ed Helms' salary in Napoleon Dynamite was very small.

But his salary in The Hangover was a whopping $1.7 million.

For a small-time actor to a millionaire actor. That was the effect of starring in a successful movie.

'As a businessman, I don't want to give Ed Helms more than a million. If The Hangover flops, then Ed Helms' salary would naturally decrease, and so is Kazir's.'

That was one of the reasons why Tom Rothman hoped that The Hangover would be a disaster.

'I can invite Kazir to direct Napoleon Dynamite II once that happened.'

Everything depends on the result of The Hangover.

If The Hangover turned well, then Fox Searchlight Pictures had to adjust its budget for Napoleon Dynamite II.

But if The Hangover turned bad, then Fox Searchlight Pictures would squeeze Kazir and Ed for all their worth.

"Hm, keep your eyes on The Hangover. Make sure to contact Kazir regarding Napoleon Dynamite II... And settle the account. We don't want Kazir to be angry at us."

Unlike the actors, Kazir's position as a director was far heavy. As long as he had strong profitability, 20th Century Fox would cooperate with him.

"Yes sir."

Tom Rothman was left alone in his office. He was actually having migraine these days because of a certain project.

"Damn that James Cameron, I can't believe that he is asking for something outrageous! He wants to make a real ship!"

The investors in James Cameron's project were 20th Century Fox and Paramount. The two film companies were currently gritting their teeth because of James Cameron's wasteful idea.

However, Tom Rothman couldn't deny that James Cameron was a talented director.

Three of his movies were distributed by 20th Century Fox and they were all successful.

Aliens.

The Abyss.

True Lies.

Unfortunately, the copyrights of The Terminator were held by Orion Pictures. This movie franchise was very profitable.

"Kazir Grey... Please make your movie bad so that we can cooperate again. I believe your talent is in making wholesome comedies, not vulgar ones."

Tom Rothman sighed. His job as a CEO of a film company was exhausting. But the rewards were satisfying as well.

His boss, Rupert Murdoch, contacted him and gave him rewards after the success of Napoleon Dynamite.

"What do you mean that I can't get money from Kazir? I'm his wife!"

Cassandra glared at her lawyer after learning that it was impossible to get money from her now rich ex-husband.

"Cassandra, you are not his wife. You're his ex-wife. Please remember that."

Her lawyer sighed.

"You had an agreement that you will stop festering him once you acquired the house. He gave you half of his savings too. The court already deemed that the case is over. Unless you want to open the case again, but it cost money."

"... Tch."

Cassandra clicked her tongue in annoyance.

'Who would have thought that my depressed husband will actually become a successful director? Millions! He sold the copyright of his movie for millions but I can't get half of it? That's fucking unfair!'

Cassandra regretted the fact that he divorced Kazir. She should have waited for another year so that she could steal more from him.

"Damn it!"

She slammed her fists against the table out of frustration.

Life was fucking unfair!

'As a beautiful woman, my job should be marrying rich people and stealing half of their property! Instead of focusing on my career and being a good person, I rather step on people!'

 

[Lillie Jones]

Whilst Cassandra proves she a devious person with no redemptive qualities , also a little b**** gold digger and still thinks she's in the right of ex husband , Kazir Grey.
Erstwhile, Ceo Robert Rothman is very happy with Napoleon Dynamite"movie comedy film sequel, but will adjust his box office profits, if Hangover does or not, even he prefers Kazir Grey light heart comedies of Napoleon Dynamite"movie.
Ahh, Robbie baby Kazir Grey hasn't really shown his action films universe then you'll really be blown away then.
Although at that bff Tom Cruise will probably will work with Mr. Grey and step into Kazir Grey 's ( action)Assassin/ Agent universe ( but I'm getting ahead myself) that's for the future.
Hollywood Returns!

Hollywood What If Chapter 57


Cassandra Hoecrap. She was Kazir's ex-wife. She dreamed of becoming a famous actress.

With her beautiful appearance, she believed that achieving her dream was extremely possible.

But when she entered Hollywood, her dreams completely shattered. She realized that there were many beautiful women like her in Hollywood. To make the matter worst, they were more talented than her.

Cassandra didn't know how to act. Her facial expressions were terrible. She didn't know how to cry, smile, and get angry in front of the camera.

Her face was always stiff. As if being an actress was not meant for her.

In the year 1988, Cassandra Hoecrap entered the filming crew of Rain Man as an extra vase(a beautiful background character).

While filming the movie, she met Kazir for the first time. She was attracted to his seriousness and confidence. Cassandra was two years older than Kazir but it didn't block their relationship from blossoming.

Then, they decided to marry. At that time, she really loved him.

But time passed and Kazir started to become serious about his job. He was so busy that he only returned to the house every other day.

Furthermore, Kazir's appearance started to change. From a fit young man to a depressing fat guy. Cassandra realized that she started to lose attraction to her husband.

Because of this loneliness, she cheated on him by having sex with his agent... Then her cheating arc expanded until she found a rich old man.

He was a producer/investor. He owned a production company too. After her divorce with Kazir, she started living with her lover.

Since then, Cassandra realized that she could use her beauty to attract people, rich people.

She got half of Kazir's savings and owned his house. She thought she won the battle in life.

Cassandra thought that she could use this method to scam people. So she did her best to convince his old lover to marry.

But who would have thought that the old man didn't treat her seriously? He decided to kick her out after having her way with her.

"... Tch. It doesn't matter, I believe you have some methods to squeeze some money from Kazir. I bought a Chanel bag using my credit card and I still haven't paid the balance."

Cassandra looked at her lawyer. Hoping that the lawyer could answer her problem.

"Of course," the lawyer nodded.

He knew how to get money from Kazir. However, he was not sure if the outcome would be good for Cassandra and him.

"... We can contact the other film companies. Maybe some of them are interested to listen to your story."

Money. As long as money is related, people would throw their humanity to acquire it.

All wrongdoing can be traced to an excessive attachment to material wealth. So yeah, perhaps money is the root of evil. Or was it greed?

"Thank you, lawyer... I promise to reward you for hard work."

Cassandra playfully lowered her chest to show her cleavage.

'Fufu. As expected, I can get what I want as long as I use my beauty. It's really good to be born pretty.'

.........
......
...

Children's Association.

The purpose of this association was the protect the rights of children under the legal age.

In Hollywood, underage actors had a history of being maltreated. Perhaps the best example was Macaulay Culkin, a famous child star from Home Alone. Macaulay Culkin's parents squeezed all of the penny from him. His father was abusive and forced him to take many roles without respect for his mental health. When he turned adult, he became depressed and almost killed himself.

'I'm asking... Where's the Children Association at that time?'

Kazir massaged his forehead.

It was the third day of the filming. So far, he had filmed five scenes. All of the scenes were related to the baby.

'The reason why we can't film so many scenes is because of the Children's Association... That's right, someone called the Children Association.'

To be honest, Kazir understood the reason why the Children Association visited his crew. As long as an underage actor would join a project, the Children's Association would try its best to respond by sending some of its members.

Children's Association was a nonprofit organization so the company could not prevent them from doing what they wanted.

'As a person from a broken family, I want to support the Children's Association. Their purpose is novel... But there's something I don't like about them, they usually have bad motives when they enter the crew. They will ask for something outrageous. They will request something outrageous... Just like now.'

"What's this? This is bad for the kid! You must kick this thing out of the set!"

The woman who had short hair and thick glasses roared. She was from the Children Association.

She was berating one of his crew members.

Kazir sighed and stepped in.

"Ma'am. This is a humidifier. It's a device that adds moisture to the air to prevent dryness that can cause irritation in many parts of the body."

"Humidifier? Never heard of it! All I can see is a cloud of smoke coming out of the machine! I want this thing out of the crew. It's bad for the kid."

Kazir glanced at Producer Enrico Pusi. The Producer sighed and nodded his head. It was tiring to explain it to a woman who had her ears closed.

"I understand."

Kazir signaled the crew to put the humidifier out of the set.

"Mister Grey. I want to remind you that the baby can only work for three hours a day!"

Child actors are only allowed to work between the hours of 5:00 am and 10:00 pm on school days. But the woman's proposal was much worst.

"What are you, his mother?"

"What did you say?"

"I said you don't have the right to talk about it. We have a contract and I will abide by the contract. Of course, everything that is written in the contract is legal. You can ask the mother about that."

Kazir was getting tired of this farce. This was the main reason why the shooting was slow.

'Someone wants to disturb our filming. They sent a troublesome person to cause a problem.'

He gritted his teeth.

 

[ArsMagna1337]

Ah yes. The bane of people. Unreasonable authorities.

 

[Lillie Jones]

Ahh what headache for Kazir Grey,today the child association wants to pay visit, which Kazir Grey bange his head against the wall, but Kazir Grey gave her piece of his mind.
Erstwhile, Cassandra wants to try and squeeze more out of Kazir Grey, but good old Kazir Grey has a few tricks up his sleeve for ex wife Cassandra and her lawyer.
You are so barking up the wrong tree Cassie baby. As Mr Grey is all out mercy for you after this little stunt you might pull. As really might have it this time around.
She Should have stuck with the house and final payoff.
My best speculation guesses?

Hollywood What If Chapter 58


"Who is it? Who is the bastard trying to disrupt our shooting schedule?"

Kazir sat down after today's shooting was over. Reese Witherspoon sat next to him, reading the script to make sure she wouldn't make any mistakes tomorrow.

Her character (Jade) in the movie was an escort who had a baby. The real reason why she got the role was simple, she was beautiful, sexy and her smile was charming... She also had a relationship with Kazir.

"I think it's going to be okay. You just need to calm down."

Reese smiled and placed the script on the table. Then she held Kazir's hand to ease his frustration.

"We're two days behind schedule because of the Children's Association. They are demanding something outrageous! Why are they asking for vegetable dishes when the baby can't even eat them? It's insane!"

Kazir grumbled. They didn't agree to any of their outrageous requests that had nothing to do with the baby. But it still annoyed him because they were making a scene. They tried to slow down the shooting.

Fortunately, there was only one last scene with the baby tomorrow. Once everything was over, Kazir could pick up the pace.

"Relax. A director like you should be calm."

"I am calm."

"I know, but you have to be calmer."

Reese Witherspoon was actually amused by Kazir's reaction. She thought the man was a calm person, always calculating everything. But when it came to making his movie, Kazir was always serious and nervous.

'I can't believe he acts like that when we're alone... It's kinda cute.'

She giggled. At least she realized that Kazir was not a perfect person.

He is mature and childish at the same time.

"How about this," Reese leaned closer and kissed his neck. "Let's go to a casino and relax. Then we can go back to your room and have some fun."

Kazir looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and kissed her forehead.

"Fine... But I have never gambled in my life."

"There is a first time for everyone. Besides, we will have fun. But I remind you never to get addicted to this kind of thing, gambling is bad."

"I understand."

"Now... How about a quickie?"

Reese leaned closer and let Kazir feel her breasts.

"Okay." Kazir grinned.

He had already forgotten about the problem after having a good time with Reese. Unfortunately, they didn't go out that night.

They decided to postpone their visit to a casino. They spent the night having "fun".

Early in the morning, Kazir started work. The crew prepared the car that the three protagonists would use.

Producer Enrico Pusi appeared and approached Kazir.

"I got the information from Warner Bros. Apparently Paramount, Orion and Miramax are trying to sabotage our movie. They have movies they want to release this summer."

"But we still don't have a confirmed release date? Why are they trying so hard to sabotage us?"

"I don't know. In fact, even New Line Cinema wanted to cause a problem. But Terry Semel warned Robert Shaye not to mess around."

"..."

Kazir touched his chin.

'Those three companies tried to buy Napoleon Dynamite from me, but they failed...'

To be fair, Kazir knew this was going to happen one way or another. This was a competition after all.

"I understand."

After hearing this information, Kazir stepped away from the crew and called his agent.

[Hello? Kazir?]

"Salvatore, I want to know what Paramount, Orion and Miramax are doing these days."

[I'll fax it to you later.]

Since Salvatore was his agent, he already had an idea why Kazir was asking him about the three movie companies.

"Thank you. Oh, if any of them try to contact you... Tell them I have a script they might be interested in."

There was no eternal enemy. Everyone was willing to cooperate as long as there were benefits. Kazir understood this very well.

[Okay.]

These companies were smart. They would never do anything out of line.

He understood it very well.

Even Warner Bros and 20th Century Fox would sabotage him if they didn't work with him.

20th Century Fox was hoping that Kazir would direct Napoleon Dynamite II. So they would never join to cause trouble.

'As for Warner Bros, the answer was obvious. They would never sabotage their own project. 35 million dollars is too big to fuck around with. '

Just as Salvatore promised, the film companies stopped interfering with his movie after Salvatore said that Kazir was trying to sell a script.

The title of the script had an experimental name: Teddy Bear.

Salvatore gave them 2/3 part of the script and Paramount and Miramax contacted him. They were interested in the movie and wanted Kazir to direct it. However, they were still not willing to put up any money to buy the project.

Like 20th Century Fox, the other companies were waiting to see the results of The Hangover.

If the movie was successful... Then there would be another competition to buy his script.

Se7en and Napoleon Dynamite were huge successes, so they were confident in Kazir's creativity at the least.

'It was as simple as that. I don't want to antagonize any movie company. It's not the best thing to do in this exclusive industry.'

The shooting that day was very simple, and the Children's Association kept their mouths shut. As if they were normal people who hadn't caused any trouble in the past few days.

The scenes with the baby ended after seven days and Kazir sighed with relief. At least they finished the scenes within the planned schedule.

'All because the Children's Association didn't make a fuss.'

Since then, the movie had begun to pick up speed. Their plan for the next week was to shoot all the scenes with Mike Tyson and the tiger.

'That's right. The tiger we're hiring is Mike Tyson's tiger.'

Mike had just gotten out of prison, and Kazir was actually afraid to meet the legendary boxer. Maybe because he knew how dangerous the young Mike Tyson was.

 

[Lillie Jones]

Your giving them the "Ted" America's foul mouth Rauchest Teddy Bear itself ( they ain't seen nothing yet), an unexpected experimental script approach to competition of the competition companies and stopping the saboteurs of his the Hangover movie film, so he finishes filming.
As we getting Reese Witherspoon and Kazir Grey spending some alone time, but discovered Kazir chink in his armor, he's both mature and childish at the same time besides having a Nooner for the nerves will probably calm any guy down. .
Although, Kazir Grey and meeting with recently paroled Mike Tyson cameo and his pet Tiger scene will test his resolve ( but Kazir thoughts are not not completely unwarranted either by the young Mike Tyson,) but Kazir will put a strong front in the recent paroled Boxer Mike Tyson or Kazir could try being his friend first, but I'm holding my breath on that one.
Continue on
Cheers!

Hollywood What If Chapter 59


The day arrived and Mike Tyson showed up with his entourage. They were a bunch of menacing looking guys. Tall, with guns, and their way of talking was unique.

"Mr. Tyson. Nice to meet you."

Kazir was the first to greet the legendary boxer. Mike Tyson looked at him with a smile and nodded.

"Nice to meet you too, director."

'... If I'm going to be honest, he spoke the "it's" "it'th."'

That was Kazir's first impression of him. Of course, he would never talk to Mike Tyson about his mispronunciation. He didn't want to get punched.

"Mr. Tyson, do you want to do the tiger scene first or your scene first?"

"Let's do the tiger scene. I want to know my pet's acting skills."

"All right."

Since Mike Tyson was the owner of the tiger they hired, they have to respect his opinion.

"Crew, prepare the scene with the tiger. Jane, make the actors look like they are waking up from a hangover."

Jane became the head of the makeup team. Of course, her salary went up, too. Everyone's salary on the crew was under the budget of The Hangover.

In fact, the salary of the entire crew was minuscule compared to the other expenses. Not even 10% of the budget.

In a way, the biggest enemies of movie companies are the huge salaries of the cast. Especially when they hire superstars to star in the movie. Well, money is not a problem as long as the videotape market is doing well.

'Speaking of videotapes... Where did I put that videotape? Nah, it's useless anyway.'

He received a package last year related to his divorce case, but it was too late to use it.

"Put the camera over there."

"Aight."

Kazir watched the preparations. Harold, the head of the props team, making sure the whole suite looked like a mess. As if there had been a huge alcohol overdose in the place.

As for Renner, he was adjusting camera angles and lighting. Helping him was Fremont.

Kazir nodded as he watched the preparations.

'The real heroes behind your favorite movies are the crew members. They spent their time creating the best scenes and the best look for the audience.'

That's why everyone on the crew would have their names in the credits. Everyone appreciates their hard work.

When a movie was successful and made a lot of money at the box office, the crew members would receive bonuses. They would also have a celebration party.

"Is everything ready?"

Kazir raised his voice and looked around. Everyone signaled that they were ready.

Even the actors were "groggy" on the floor.

Kazir nodded to Fremont.

"Lights, Camera, Action!"

-----

After Jade (Reese Witherspoon) left their hotel suite, the three protagonists were drunk and 'dead' on the floor.

Alan (Jack Black) weakly got up to go to the bathroom. He walked and dodged the ducks. The ducks flew around and nearly tripped him.

He reached the bathroom and started to pee.

While peeing, Alan heard a tiger growling behind him. He thoughtlessly turned around and found a tiger growling at him.

He didn't think much and continued peeing. But a few seconds later, Alam panicked!

He ran away and kicked Phil's balls!

"Augh!"

"Gah!"

They roll to the floor. With Phil (Bradley Cooper) in pain and Alan in fear.

"God damn! You put some pants on!"

"Don't go to the bathroom!"

Alan shouted.

"Alan, just calm down."

"Phil, there's a tiger in the bathroom!"

"What's going on?"

Stu (Ed Helms) looked at them in confusion. He had a hangover.

Everyone had a heavy hangover.

"There's a jungle cat in the bathroom!"

"Okay, okay, okay," Phil stood up. "I'll check it out."

He opened the door and the tiger roared at him. Phil immediately shut the door.

"Woah! Fuck! He's not kidding, there's a tiger in there."

"No, there isn't," Stu replied weakly.

------

"Cut! This is good. Ready for the next scene!"

After three takes, Kazir was satisfied with their performance.

The next scene was about Alan (Jack Black) getting punched by the champion.

"He's not really going to punch me, is he?"

Jack Black nervously approached Kazir.

"Don't worry... You'll have to stay in the hospital after this."

"You got to be kidding me!"

"No, I'm just kidding," Kazir shrugged.

"Of course he won't hit you. We still need you to shoot a lot of scenes. Remember, we need more than a month to shoot all the scenes.

"What does that mean?"

"Nothing. Anyway, just hang in there."

"What? Director? Director! Don't let me down! Director!"

Kazir checked the shots to make sure he hadn't forgotten anything. The shots looked promising and went well.

'There's a movie that starred Jack Black, it's called Nacho Libre. It was said that Jack Black almost lost his eye because of a stunt...'

Some people said it was a publicity stunt to draw in the audience, and some people said it was real.

'Well, Jack Black said it was real, so maybe it is.'

As a director, Kazir knew whether this information was real or not.

'One thing is for sure. A sane director will never have an actor do a dangerous stunt. Everything will be done by a body double. Even the insurance company will never agree to such a decision.'

If an actor was really injured, the insurance company would have to pay so much money.

Just like now...

"Um, Director Grey. I just heard that Jack Black is going to get punched by Mike Tyson. I think he needs a body double for that."

"..."

Kazir looked at the Merrill Lynch representative.

"I mean, we all know that Mike Tyson is a strong boxer. If an accident happens and Jack Black is injured, the shoot will be postponed and we will waste money and time."

"Saul, don't worry. I will never let that happen. But I will not use a body double either. I just have to trust Mike Tyson."

"But are you really sure?"

"Saul. I think Mike Tyson will never hit Jack Black."

He looked at him seriously. Kazir wanted to see as much real emotion as possible, so it was better to use Jack Black for the scene.

Besides, Kazir didn't like it when someone tried to stop him from doing what he wanted.

Total authority. As long as the filming was going on, Kazir wanted complete authority over the project.

"... Okay."

Saul stepped back and decided to trust him.

Naturally, the scene began after the makeup artists had finished adjusting the looks of the three protagonists.

Jack Black was scared the whole time, and that was what Kazir needed.

Luckily, the heavyweight champ knew how to control his punch and Jack Black was not hurt. But it was still scary.

Hollywood What If Chapter 60


Kazir Grey signed a contract with Warner Bros to release the movie in the summer.

Because of this, Kazir formulated a plan... to make sure that the filming would be finished in April or early May.

After the trouble with the Children's Association, Kazir and his crew began to pick up the pace. The atmosphere in the crew became better and the mood of the actors was great.

Some of the actors made mistakes, but not enough to cause much trouble. After all, even talented actors had NGs while shooting movies.

'If there's something that surprised me, it's the acting of these certain actors...'

Whenever these actors were in front of the cameras, they easily adjusted their emotions and expressions.

'I don't ask for explosive acting, but they really gave me one.'

Kazir understood that the level of acting in The Hangover was much higher than in Napoleon Dynamite. In fact, that was the reason he wanted to shoot four takes of each scene to make sure he could pick the best shot.

Kazir expected Reese Witherspoon to improve after he coached her on her acting.

Because of their relationship, Kazir made sure that Reese Witherspoon would be a great actress. Unlike other actresses, Reese Witherspoon had a strong sweet charm. So Kazir wanted her to take advantage of that.

'She's really improving, I'm impressed.'

Reese's scenes in the movie were not many, but she clearly gained the attention of the camera.

'Once The Hangover is finished, I'll try to help her get roles that suit her. If that's not possible, I'll make a role that fits her.'

Kazir had a lot of ideas for the future... He basically knew most of the romantic comedies that would hit the blockbuster.

'The other actors are Jack Black and Pedro Pascal.'

After playing Pedro Sanchez in Napoleon Dynamite, Pedro Pascal decided to keep the mustache. Kazir approved of his decision because Pedro Pascal with a mustache was iconic.

Pedro Pascal's character in the movie was Doug. He was the groom who disappeared after the night of drug use. To be honest, his scenes were mostly concentrated in the first half of the movie.

'Still, his acting is impeccable. I can't ask for more because he has no NGs. Although I am reshooting the scenes in the hope of seeing more impressive acting from him.'

As for Jack Black, he was a funny guy. He just knew how to make people laugh.

For a comedy actor, that was the best and strongest talent he should have.

'Maybe that is why Jack Black is one of the most famous comedic actors of all time. He just knows how to make people laugh.'

Kazir doesn't regret his choice.

"This guy... Jack Black. I think he's not bad."

Producer Enrico Pusi whispered next to him, and Kazir agreed.

"Indeed. If you have a role that suits him, please send him an invitation. I think he can make the role worth it."

"Do you think so?"

"I strongly believe so."

It was already the first week of April and the filming was 1/3 finished. It was still within their calculations, so there was no problem.

In fact, the shooting of a movie was always behind schedule. Only a few projects could be finished within the right schedule. There were many consequences in the shooting and it caused the shooting to be late.

Fortunately, Kazir knew how to deal with these problems. He never showed nervousness or irritation. He kept his calm demeanor as much as possible, which made the crew feel comfortable.

Last week, one of the crew members fell from the ladder and people got nervous. Kazir immediately ordered an ambulance.

Kazir contacted producer Enrico Pusi to settle the matter. Fortunately, the man was not seriously injured. Of course, it was still Enrico Pusi's responsibility to pay for all of his hospital expenses.

The incident passed quickly and everyone returned to their work. Kazir made sure to remind everyone to stay focused and take everything seriously.

So far, everything was going well.

After his success with Se7en and Napoleon Dynamite, the crew members never turned against him. They all respected his decision.

"What do you think of this shot?"

Renner approached him and showed him the camera angle. He was the crew's director of photography(Cinematographer). He was in charge of the cameras and lighting. Perhaps his position was second only to the director and producer.

"Let's try this angle first. If it doesn't work, we'll find another angle or destroy the wall."

"I understand."

"Okay, let's start shooting!"

.........
......
...

"And cut! Okay, guys, I announce that the filming of The Hangover is complete!"

"Woohoo!"

The crew members around him shouted excitedly. Even the actors sighed and smiled after knowing that the shooting was over. It had been an exhausting three months for them. The project was fun overall, but it still took its toll on them.

"We have three days to relax. You can go to the casino and have some fun. But don't spend too much."

"Haha."

The second week of May came and the shooting of the movie officially ended. They started filming in the last week of February and finished in May.

To be honest, their filming was fast compared to other projects. It was all because of Kazir's plan.

He already knew everything he wanted to shoot, so he did not make a blind move.

The actors thanked him one by one. They enjoyed working with Kazir. If the movie went well, they wanted to work with him again.

"It's okay, I believe in you."

Kazir thanked everyone and promised that they would have a farewell party in Los Angeles.

For now, they could rest and have some fun in Las Vegas.

"Director Grey, how about we go to the MGM Grand? I hear they have a nice casino there."

The actors tried to invite him, but Kazir shook his head.

"I'm sorry, but I have to check the footages later."

As always, he preferred movies to anything else. Even Reese Witherspoon, who was sitting next to him, just shrugged. She was expecting his reaction.

[Is it short that I only covered three chapters of The Hangover filming? Comment below your thoughts. Should I expand the filming chapters for the next movie?]

 

[Lillie Jones]

3 Chapters is enough for now ,you don't want to drag the filming chapters too much for the reader's. It better be balanced between filming scenes and outside of the film crew of Kazir and company normally. .
But some people might want more filming chapters for the next movie by Kazir Grey .just my thoughts on it.
Continue on
Cheers

 

[IrrelevantlAlex]

Some authors just do rehashes of movie dialogue and I just skip it. I don't mind movie chapters in general though and have no complaints on yours. TYFC

 

[QuickSilverD]

Is fine to not drag things too long, I am more interested in seeing the reactions of the public towards the finished movie and whenever they will be suscessful just because they were so in iur timeline

 

[kalepos]

Some of the actors made mistakes, but not enough to cause much trouble. After all, even talented actors had NGs while shooting movies.

Click to shrink...

Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere, but what does NG mean in this context?

I am greatly enjoying this story.

[Espec22]

Ok, i'm going to say some things that no one else is saying, where are Seigfried and Roy??? In those years they were the kings of Las Vegas with sold out shows every weekend, if those guys were going to steal a tyger, it probably be from them not from Tyson, the accident with Monticore was in 2003 so they are the guys to call if you needed a Tyger in Las Vegas. In fact you can count with one hand tvshows and movies made in those days that didn,'t mention them and you will still some.finger left.

Hollywood What If Chapter 61


"It didn't work out..."

Carl Morin sighed as he sat down. He had heard the news that the filming of The Hangover had gone off without a hitch.

Carl Morin had been one of the people responsible for calling the Children's Association to pester the crew. Well, he had a cooperation with the other film companies.

Unfortunately, when Kazir Grey announced that he had a script that he wanted to sell, the film companies immediately closed their mouths. They acted as if they weren't causing any trouble.

Since then, the filming of The Hangover has gone well.

'The Hangover... Ten thousand dollars for nothing.'

That was right. To make sure the Children's Association would harass the film crew, Carl Morin paid one of them to cause trouble.

He hoped that Kazir Grey would lose his temper and make a scene. They could use it as material for their next plan.

But Kazir was as calm as a stone. He was angry, but he kept his cool.

"Well, at least I pissed him off in a way."

It was kind of petty, but it didn't matter. They have another way of causing trouble.

WMA knew what he was doing, but they decided to keep their mouths shut. WMA was angry that Kazir Grey became successful after they kicked him out of the company.

Even the CAA people mocked them for their stupidity. The president of WMA even talked to vice president Lawlor Dean and Carl Morin about it.

The two were humiliated on the floor for kicking Kazir Grey of WMA.

So Carl Morin was angry with Kazir Grey. He wanted to make sure that he would never have a peaceful day in Hollywood.

The WMA turned a blind eye to his evil deeds because they wanted to see Kazir lose.

To be honest, their opinion of The Hangover was hopeful. Especially when Ed Helms was involved in the project. They hoped the movie would be successful. So that another superstar would rise from their ranks.

But their opinion about Kazir Grey was gloomy. They wanted to see him fall into the pit of misfortune.

"Kazir, this is all your fault."

He grinned devilishly.

"Carl Morin, congratulations on your client. I hear he just finished shooting a horror movie?"

John Harris approached Carl Morin. John Harris was jealous that Carl Morin had a director client under him... Well, he had two directors under him, but he kicked the first one.

He was ridiculed for it. After three years of working with Kazir Grey, the director became successful after leaving him. It showed that Carl Morin was incompetent.

Still, John Harris wanted to make a connection with Carl Morin because he wanted his clients to be involved in his director's next projects.

"Thank you, John. Congratulations on Ed Helms too."

Carl's lips twitched. In fact, John's position after the success of Napoleon Dynamite was much better than his. His client received a salary of $1.7 million for The Hangover, and 10% of that would go to John Harris.

"Leon Lau has finished filming Tales from the Crypt Presents: Bordello of Blood."

Carl Morin smiled proudly. He believed that Leon Lau would be more successful than Kazir Grey. He strongly believed it.

"That's good to hear... By the way, if Leon Lau has any suitable roles for my clients, please send them some invitations".

"Of course. I will talk to Leon about it."

Carl Morin chuckled. He loved the feeling of being on top. Because his client was a director, more and more people were asking him for suitable roles for their clients.

This is the power of an agent who has a director client.

"Thank you."

John Harris left the office room after hearing this.

"Tch, when I have roles, I give them to my actors first. Why would I even give them to others?... Unless they have something to offer. I heard that one of John's clients is a young actress. Heh."

He licked his lips.

.........
......
...

After filming in Las Vegas, Kazir returned to Los Angeles.

"Ah, the smell of Los Angeles air... Polluted as always."

He shrugged and walked out of the airport.

"Kazir."

"Good morning, Salvatore."

On his way to the exit, he found Salvatore waiting for him.

"I've already got a car ready for us."

"Thank you."

Considering that Salvatore was meeting him in person, Kazir realized that there was something important to talk about.

Kazir and Salvatore got into the car.

"Kazir, Fox Searchlight Pictures has already settled the account. They will pay tomorrow."

"That's good to hear. Napoleon Dynamite has already finished its run in North America and the box office is $149 million."

It was a miracle for a project like Napoleon Dynamite to have that kind of success. Kazir grinned.

"5% of that is going to your bank account."

Salvatore smiled too... The answer was simple, he had a share in that amount.

Kazir Kazir would get $7.45 million. Then Salvatore Barlowe would receive $223,000 from Kazir.

Ah, the power of success. Salvatore never regretted contacting Kazir. Lately, many of his associates had become friendly with him, asking if Kazir Grey had another project. Hoping their clients could audition for roles.

"I'm sure 20th Century Fox has some conditions, right?"

"They want to talk to you about the sequel to Napoleon Dynamite. Tom Rothman wants to see you tomorrow."

"I understand."

Kazir enjoyed a good relationship with Tom Rothman. He was grateful that Tom Rothman accepted his movie. In a way, he had a lot of respect for 20th Century Fox and Tom Rothman.

"Let's meet tomorrow. Today I want to take some time to relax. By the way, what movies are in the theater right now?"

"Warner Bros has invited you to the premiere of Twister."

"Of course I will be there."

Kazir easily accepted the invitation. He knew that Twister would be one of the blockbuster movies of the year.

"It's on May 11th. That is three days from now. You will be on the red carpet, so wear something nice.

Salvatore Barlowe reminded him.

"I'll buy a suit for the occasion."

 

[Lillie Jones]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[Kenrio]

I hope you dont exaggerate to much on the drama, while I understant tryng to not make him have a smooth route but giving him to much problems can make the story completely anoying to read

Hollywood What If Chapter 62


"Kazir, when are you going to start the sequel to Napoleon Dynamite?"

"Tom, you need to relax. We still need to polish the script."

Kazir Grey and Tom Rothman had a meeting about the sequel to Napoleon Dynamite.

The 5% of the box office had already been settled and Kazir had received confirmation from the bank.

Out of respect for Tom Rothman, Kazir decided to be honest.

"Tom, I'm going to be honest with you. I don't want to direct the movie."

"I fucking knew it!"

Tom Rothman sighed and leaned back in his chair. He knew so many directors who didn't like sequels.

Steven Spielberg didn't make Jaws 2 and other Jaws sequels. Wes Craven didn't make the Nightmare on Elms Street sequels. In fact, Wes Craven hated sequels. He felt that they diluted the essence of the movie.

The whole Nightmare on Elms Street almost became a comedy because of the endless sequels.

But Napoleon Dynamite was different.

"Kazir. You have to understand, Napoleon Dynamite needs you. Fox Searchlight will never hesitate to give you terms. $7 million salary and 10% of the North American box office. What do you think?"

Tom Rothman thought Kazir would be tempted. This offer was already a big deal.

"Tom, I have to be honest, but I have to say no. I'm still thinking about directing another movie."

"Are you talking about the script that is circulating? Kazir, there's no guarantee on that Teady Bear script. You have to think about it seriously."

"..."

Kazir just smiled.

To be honest, he was struggling with his next project.

He was interested in making Ted, but he was also eager to start his vast Continental Cinematic Universe.

He wanted to be the first to start a successful Cinematic Universe.

"I hope you'll give me a positive answer when you're done with The Hangover."

"Thanks, Tom."

The two shook hands and parted. Kazir left the 20th Century Fox building.

After meeting with Tom Rothman, Kazir went directly to Warner Bros headquarters.

He walked into the editing room.

"Good morning, Kazir."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Hamilton."

"Just call me Brody. You don't have to be so formal."

The man before Kazir was Brody Hamilton. He was currently 36 years old. He was one of the editors at Warner Bros.

Warner Bros gave Kazir full creative control over The Hangover. However, Warner Bros would have to use their own editors. They would never let outsiders touch the post-production of their films.

Although Kazir had a good relationship with his last editor, Rector, he knew that this was the way the business worked.

Kazir was already happy that Warner Bros gave him full editing rights on The Hangover.

"Let's start our work."

There was no proper introduction, the two just walked into the editing room to start post-production.

Post-production was a very important part of the movie process. The footage Kazir shot was over 800 minutes. He had to cut the NGs and find the best shot for each scene. Then he would put them together to make a real story. Then he had to squeeze it down to 100 minutes.

Sounds easy? Post-production usually takes more than a month. Sometimes more than half a year, especially for movies with CGI/special effects.

.........
......
...

"Are you sure he'll show up here?"

Cassandra asked her informant.

"That's what we heard. Anyway, my work here is done. You're on your own."

"..."

The informant left after leading Cassandra to the rendezvous point.

Cassandra heard that Kazir was going to buy a new suit because he was going to the premiere of Twister.

Cassandra looked at herself in the mirror and fixed her appearance. Especially her cleavage, she wanted to emphasize how ample it was.

"Good morning."

The saleswoman greeted her as she entered the store. She was not thrown out because of her appearance.

Cassandra looked at the dress and noticed that it didn't have a price tag. The clothes in the store didn't have price tags...

But based on the clothes they were selling, each dress could cost more than 10 thousand dollars. For a woman who was currently in debt after maxing out her credit card, Cassandra was sweating as she looked at them.

The saleswoman looked at Cassandra's expression and clicked her tongue, realizing that Cassandra was not a rich person.

"Ma'am, I think you need to leave."

"N- No, I'm waiting for someone. He'll show up..."

"Good morning, sir. Good morning, ma'am."

A couple entered the store and were greeted by another saleswoman.

Kazir and Reese walked into the store. The woman hugged his arm. She was flirting with Kazir.

"Let's find something for you first."

"Thanks, Kazir."

Reese giggled and kissed him on the cheek.

"..."

Cassandra was stunned as she watched the scene. She couldn't believe that Kazir had a woman next to him! Besides, she was beautiful.

To make matters worse, Cassandra could not take her eyes off of Kazir. The man before her was hot and sexy. His beard was trimmed and groomed. He was damn handsome. He didn't have his fat belly either! He was fit and hunky!

Cassandra remembered the reason she had married Kazir... Because she loved his looks and his confidence.

The man in front of her was exactly that. Kazir was handsome, confident, and successful. The perfect man.

Cassandra swallowed hard for some unknown reason. Her face flushed and she didn't know why.

She took a deep breath and smiled. She waved her hand at Kazir.

"Husband..."

But before she could speak, Kazir and Reese passed by without looking at her.

Kazir never looked at her. As if she were a stranger.

"Ma'am, I think you need to leave."

The saleswoman woke Cassandra from her shock. Of all things, she hadn't expected Kazir to never look at her. Her heart felt heavy and sour as she left the store. As if she had lost something precious.

 

[Lillie Jones]

Whilst Kazir Grey and Tim Rothman discuss the merits of Napoleon Dynamite film movie sequel, but Kazir Grey is eager to work on titular "Ted "movie and putting work into his conceptual Continenta Cinematic Universe . Besides Tim Rothman doesn't know the value of the " titular notorious Teddy Bear "Ted " yet?
Including Tim Rothman will be waiting on answer after the Hangover movie hits public theaters .
Unfortunately, Cassandra learns that the way the cookie crumbles as she her former ex husband in fit hunky body(not the way she him)with an eye catching Reese Witherspoon walking in the store for shopping, which Saleslady kindly thinks can't afford it in the celebrity store.
As Kazir Grey didn't bat a eyelash at her, I would have sympathy for her but her recently new plans for Kazir gets her exactly what she deserves and Karma's a B**** ,but then again Cassandra is one?
Continue on
Cheers!

 

[QuickSilverD]

I'm honestly surprised that "Ted" movie did so well at the box office, there is literally no reason for a mid R-rated comedy like that to have done so well, I would half expect it to bomb if only because if Kazir recreated the context will be quite different than that of the 2010s, anyways what year are we at again? 1996? well, there is certainly not good enough CGI to do "Ted", so I'm guessing you're planning on using some proper puppets? maybe hire some muppets /sesame street talent

 

[Espec22]

In those years, Ted will certainly bomb since the audiene is not yet ready for it, their pob jokes would be misunderstood since the movement to make weed legal still hasn't gain strength, funny enough some later flops would have been succesful in those days like 'The Lone Ranger'.

 

[Pujimaki]

Hollywood What If Chapter 63


The movie premiere of Twister was on May 10, 1996. Unlike Se7en, where Kazir didn't have the right to go on the red carpet, Warner Bros was generous and gave him his first red carpet attendance.

"Haaa, haahh..."

"Reese, you need to calm down. This is not even our movie. We're just guests."

Kazir chuckled as he looked at the woman next to him. His partner on the red carpet was Reese Witherspoon.

"Kazir, I'm wondering how you can be calm. This is different from attending a premiere in other countries. Napoleon Dynamite didn't have a red carpet premiere in the US. Now, there are hundreds of reporters from different newspapers to take our pictures. I'm afraid I'm going to make a scene."

"I just feel like there's no reason to be nervous."

"You silly..."

She sighed. What did she expect from a man who didn't even react to the scolding of the Children's Association? Kazir had a strong control over his emotions.

'Sometimes I wonder if he should be an actor instead.'

She thought.

"Trust me. Nothing bad will happen."

Kazir took her hand and squeezed it.

"Thank you."

She didn't regret choosing Kazir. The man in front of her was much more mature. He was not easily frightened, as if he had experienced the worst.

'Sometimes I wonder how broken he is to be unaffected like this.'

"We're here."

The limousine stopped in front of the theater. The two stepped out, greeted by hundreds of camera flashes.

Kazir and Reese kept their smiles on and walked ahead.

Then they stopped at a checkpoint where reporters could take pictures of them.

Then the coordinator signaled them to move on.

Usually there were coordinators at this kind of event.

This time, the two stopped at the checkpoint where reporters could interview them.

Warner Bros had already contacted a reporter to interview Kazir.

"Director Grey, what do you think about Twister?"

"I think Twister will be successful. It will be one of the top 5 movies at the worldwide box office this year."

"Wow~" The reporter's reaction was exaggerated. Then she asked another question.

"When can we see your next project, everyone is hoping that you will create another funny movie."

"Of course, it will be released this summer."

"I see you have Miss Reese Witherspoon next to you. Would you like to tell us about your relationship?"

To be honest, Kazir and Reese already expected to be asked about their relationship.

They had already been briefed by their agents. Warner Bros and their agents were doing publicity for The Hangover.

"We're just friends."

Kazir and Reese smiled for the camera before entering the theater.

Their agents were actually trying to convince them to announce that they were officially dating. Everyone on the crew knew that Kazir and Reese were "close".

However, they both disagreed. They didn't want to use their relationship as a publicity stunt. In the end, Warner Bros had no choice but to promote the movie in a different way.

'As much as possible, I don't want to destroy my privacy. I want to keep my life as simple as it is.'

Even though he knew it was just a dream. Once you become famous, you lose your privacy.

"I received three scripts last week, I wonder if you could give your opinion on them."

Reese whispered as they entered the theater. Hundreds of people were already inside. Some of them were talking, probably about Hollywood.

"You can come to my office tomorrow."

"Tell me. Have you ever been to your apartment? It seems like you're always in your office."

"It's a waste of time to go to my apartment."

"What do you mean? Your apartment is only a few blocks from your company."

Reese teased him.

"Kazir, nice to meet you."

Tom Cruise appeared and greeted them. Nicole Kidman stood next to Tom Cruise. Their height was too different, Nicole Kidman was too tall for Tom Cruise.

But no one would try to say that in front of Tom Cruise. The superstar didn't like to be called by his height.

Even Kazir was taller than Tom Cruise. Kazir was over 6 feet tall.

"It's nice to meet you too, Tom. I heard your movie is coming out in May."

The two shook hands.

"Paramount has already started promoting it. The shooting was actually quite difficult. Fortunately, I have a stunt double to do most of the dangerous stunts."

Famous actors would always have insurance. Of course, insurance companies would never let actors participate in dangerous stunts.

"I want to invite you to see Mission: Impossible."

"I'll be there for sure."

After that, more actors began to greet Kazir and Reese. To be honest, the actors were interested in Kazir.

Now that Kazir had become a rising director, many actors wanted to contact him in the hope of working with him.

Enrico Pusi and Terry Semel also greeted him.

A few minutes later Twister started. The movie cost $88 million plus $4 million for publicity.

It starred Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. The movie was about a tornado that destroyed everything in its path.

The movie was interesting. Reese Witherspoon and Kazir Grey had fun watching the movie.

.........
......
...

In the first three days of Twister, it earned $41.05 million. This meant that the movie was successful.

It defeated its rival in its first weekend and became the box office champion of the week.

While Warner Bros did follow-up advertising for Twister, Kazir Grey spent most of his time in the editing room with Brody Hamilton.

"If we keep this pace, we can finish post-production in June."

Brody had a keen sense of such things.

Kazir agreed with Brody Hamilton.

Unfortunately, while Kazir was busy with the post-production of The Hangover, rumors began to circulate in Hollywood.

It was said that there was a certain director who beat his wife out of depression...

 

[Usernames]

Time for the defamation/libel lawsuits.

Because revealing the world how your former agent fucked your career and your wife (who participated in the cheating happily) and your former boss ruined your life just for a bit of spilled water would be hilarious.

Man this is gonna be dirty for WMA. Especially for the ex-wife when he gave her the house and found success post divorce and now she wants money.

 

[Lillie Jones]

Kazir Grey airing WMA dirty laundry is certainly in his wheel house after his ex wife Cassandra pulls this stunt is totally going to be Jerry Springer style for Kazir Grey.
I wonder what Reese Witherspoon, and everyone else will reactions will be hearing the real story from his lips on National tv show and paramour Reese discovers how broken he really his ( but excluding his transmigration to the past) especially when he ' issues with the defamation and libel lawsuit, biggest scandal blowout in Hollywood in a while.
Hollywood Reigns

Hollywood What If Chapter 64


"Kazir... I think we have a problem."

Salvatore Barlowe went straight to the editing room after realizing that something big was going on.

It had already been a month since filming had finished. Kazir Grey had already finished editing 3/4 of the movie. He was just waiting for the sound director to finish the dubbing and stuff.

Warner Bros already had a schedule for the movie. It would be released in July, although they were still trying to find the best weekend.

"What is it?"

Kazir looked at his agent. Kazir had dark circles around his eyes because he hadn't slept much lately.

"It's about your ex-wife."

"Are you talking about Cassandra?"

Kazir frowned. He hadn't expected to hear news about his ex-wife.

"What did she say?"

"This..."

Salvatore handed Kazir a newspaper. It was a small tabloid.

The headline was very simple. It said that Kazir Grey beat his wife. That was why Cassandra left him.

"Is that all?" He asked.

He thought something big had happened.

"What do you mean, is that all? Kazir, this is bad for you!... Tell me, please tell me that you never beat your wife."

Salvatore was sweating and his complexion was pale. He didn't want anything bad to happen to his most profitable client. That would be devastating.

"Don't worry Salvatore. I never hurt my wife. Hell, I never even stayed in the house most of the time." Kazir shrugged.

"You're not lying, are you?"

"What do you think? Do I look like a man who would hurt a woman?"

"No. But I know some men who act like gentlemen who are actually wife beaters."

"Oh, come on, Salvatore. I'm not Sean Connery." He chuckled.

"I-I haven't even said anything!"

Salvatore stammered, knowing the truth. But Sean Connery was a client of CAA. He was the first 007 James Bond.

Despite his age, Sean Connery was respected and could get many roles. His roles were usually an old gentleman. And it was true, Sean Connery himself admitted in an interview that he slapped his wife.

"Of course, I'm only joking. Sean Connery is a great guy."

Kazir said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Kazir, do you have a plan?"

"Contact Warner Bros. This situation can be useful to us."

Kazir was not stupid.

"Okay."

A few minutes later, the important people involved in the production of The Hangover arrived.

The atmosphere was actually awkward because no one expected Kazir to have a dirty spot. Some of them looked at Kazir with doubt.

Terry Semel looked seriously at Kazir. He hadn't expected the director to be involved in a scandal.

"I suggest we stop this scandal before it gets worse."

Producer Enrico Pusi was the one who had it worst. This project was his responsibility. If The Hangover flopped horribly, he would lose all his credits. He might get fired. He was having a hard time sleeping, to be honest.

So the fact that this scandal came up made him lose his temper. He was furious. He didn't know if he should "talk" to Kazir or find his ex-wife and convince her with money.

"We can contact Cassandra Hoecrap and settle this quickly."

He added.

The atmosphere in the office was very gloomy. Salvatore was sweating and scared.

Terry Semel looked at them all. He had been the CEO of Warner Bros for over five years.

Of all of them, Kazir Grey is the calmest.

Despite being in the middle of a fire pit, Kazir Grey didn't show any nervousness.

"Kazir, did you expect this to happen?"

"To be honest, Terry. I never thought Cassandra would do something like this. However, I know that she will do anything to get more money from me."

What he said was based on his past life experience.

"Since you're calm, I think you have a plan."

Terry Semel narrowed his eyes. He was like a hawk ready to claw at its prey. If Kazir's plan was stupid, he would never work with Kazir again.

'This scandal could be his downfall.'

"In my opinion, we should let the scandal simmer. In fact, I want Time Warner to join the scandal."

"Kazir, are you being stupid?" Enrico Pusi raised his voice.

"Hold on Enrico... I say let Kazir cook. What's your plan?"

Kazir and Cassandra had been fighting for divorced for a year. During that year, they tried to tear each other's faces off.

When Kazir realized that Cassandra was cheating on him. He decided to pay an investigator to follow his wife.

'It is a miracle that I was reborn after the day I received the investigator's report.'

"This is the answer."

Kazir placed a videotape on the table.

Terry Semel immediately called someone to bring a VHS(Video Home System) and television to watch the video.

"Where did you get this?"

"I am collecting evidence of my wife's infidelity. I spent more than $3,000 just to get this. I'm impressed by how far the private investigator went just to get this recording."

"I see..."

The video started and everyone watched it seriously. Cassandra was in a restaurant with an old fat man. Their faces were clear, easy to identify.

"Isn't that Bobby Dork?"

Enrico Pusi muttered. He recognized the old man because he was also a producer.

The conversation was quite simple, Cassandra and Bobby Dork were just flirting. However, from the way they were acting, it was clear that they had a strong intimacy.

"This video is from two years ago, around August 1994."

Kazir added.

The video continued.

Then everyone realized why Kazir was showing the video.

In the video, Cassandra announced how she could get more money from Kazir. She would tell the court that she had been beaten and raped.

"I think giving up your house is the best way to get away from a delusional person like her."

Salvatore said, and everyone agreed. This kind of thing was frightening because society would mostly believe a woman's word.

In his past life, Kazir even used the video as evidence, but the court didn't accept it. So he still lost his house in his past life.

 

[Lillie Jones]

Whilst Kazir Grey already has a plan against ex wife Cassandra play again.
While I am willing to believe in every woman word against men. but woman like Cassandra ruin every ordinary woman in the real "world " in the court case example Johnny Depp vs Amber Heard ( which neither of them came looking clean or innocent as they appeared after the trial, except Johnny Depp was still able to get some Hollywood momentum back.
Let's see how Jury system accept ex wife Cassandra case against Kazir Grey with Hollywood industry backing, and them try and denied this one?
Cassandra dearest is delusional and can't get up again, HAHA!
Hollywood Returns!

Cheers!

P.S.I didn't know about the Sean Connery incident against his wife. Must have been before my time.
