Hollywood What If

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

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

The scene 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 pointed at his skull while he was trying to shoot the fly. He was supposed to be sweating, scared, something Kazir suggested to Ben Affleck.

As the cast rested, Morgan Freeman approached Kazir.

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

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

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

Sony-Columbia was confident 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 knew that Bruce Almighty would do well at the box office.

On top of that, the screenwriter of this movie was Kazir Grey! Everybody knew that 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 dollars at the worldwide box office.

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

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

Sony-Columbia was confident that Bruce Almighty would be the face of this year's comedy, other than Napoleon Dynamite III, of course.

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

Morgan 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-Columbia that Kazir had recommended him for Bruce Almighty.

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

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

"I'm happy to hear that."

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

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

Michael Bay directed Bad Boys, The Rock and many action movies. While Kazir focused on comedy for two years, Michael Bay became influential among action movie fans.

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

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

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

Angelina Jolie noticed someone staring at her. She turned and found Kazir. She bit her lip and grinned, then returned 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 different between Kazir and Angelina.

"What do you mean?"

"Angelina was stealing glances at 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 changed 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 nodded. There was no need to ask more. It was already obvious from their interactions.

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

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

He recommended two 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 interested, but I'm going to tell you anyway." Harold knew about Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz and their past relationship with Kazir.

Frankly, Harold was impressed that Kazir would recommend them even though their relationships were over.

"Reese Witherspoon got the role. The crew had trouble deciding 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 wanted to 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 change, no matter how hard you tried.
