Hollywood What If

As for Kazir, well, he didn't do well either. He didn't win anything! All the big awards went to the others. Kazir had three nominations, but he didn't win any of them.

Best Picture in Drama went to The Hours.

Best Director was won by director Martin Scorsese - Gangs of New York.

Best adapted screenplay went to Charlie Kaufman and Donald Kaufman - Adaptation.

Three nominations and he got nothing, such a sad life... Well, at least he got something golden tonight to make him feel better.

The show went pretty fast and nothing special happened... Except for the fact that Richard Gere used the Golden Globes as a platform to speak the truth about Tibbet.

"Terrible, terrible human rights situation."

Yes, Richard Gere spoke that sentence and millions of people witnessed it. What happened in Tibbet a few decades ago...

Actually, Richard Gere was brave for what he did, and many people praised him. But Hollywood was a spineless organization, cowards pretending to be virtuous.

What Hollywood did was to blacklist the actor. Since then, Richard Gere could only accept a few projects and his career slowly deteriorated. But Richard Gere didn't falter, he was still true to his intentions.

Hollywood: "How dare Richard Gere stand up for what is right! Fuck you Richard Gere!"

After that, the awards ceremony ended with neither Tom nor Kazir winning anything. They returned to their respective homes disappointed.

Luckily, Angelina was there for Kazir and made the man happy... The woman kept her promise to give Kazir something gold.

Stella Willow opened her eyes after a night's rest. She had an apartment near the building where Grey Pictures did business... The company still rented the building for obvious reasons.

The company decided to think about buying the building, or building one instead, once Grey Pictures and one of the Big Six signed the contract.

So far, five of the Big Six were interested in the company. This inflated the net worth of Grey Pictures to $10 billion, although its real value was only around $4 to $5 billion.

The acquisition made Grey Pictures important. It showed that the Big Five were interested in the company.

Well, a single studio that could make revenue of more than $1 billion a year was worth their attention.

Stella Willow was active in this part. She now had a stake in the company, so she considered this deal important.

When she opened the door, she noticed that there were already three newspapers from different publishers lying on her front door. She decided to start with the Los Angeles Times.

After skimming through some of the useless gossip and information she already knew, her eyes stopped on one particular article. It was about the results of the Golden Globes last night, Stella Willow already heard from the phone that The Revenant won nothing despite having 6 nominations. It was very sad news... The fact that they invested millions in PR and yet it was pretty useless.

As expected, Miramax's PR team is the winner this time. They know how to keep the old foggies interested.

Miramax had already solidified its position in the industry in terms of making Oscar-worthy movies.

In fact, if Stella Willow hadn't known about the bad blood between Kazir and Harvey, she might have recommended that Kazir work with Miramax instead. After all, Miramax had distribution channels.

If Kazir and Harvey worked together, winning an Oscar would be a piece of cake, no problem at all.

Well, things happened and Miramax and Grey Pictures would never get a chance to work together, not in a million years.

The article said that Chicago won 5 awards, the biggest winner last night.

About Schmidt, Gangs of New York, Adaptation and The Hours also won 2 awards each.

Chicago, Gangs of New York and The Hours were all distributed and invested in by Miramax.

Obviously, Miramax was the biggest winner at the 60th Golden Globes. All they had to do was put "Award Winning Movie" on the covers of the DVDs and people would be interested in buying the DVDs.

That was the way Miramax made money. Since they could not compete with the Big Six at the box office, they used the DVD market instead.

Miramax had a chance to compete with the Big Six in the late 80's and early 90's. However, they failed to expand their business and Walt Disney slowly acquired shares until Miramax became a dog under Walt Disney.

Stella Willow dropped the newspaper and started to eat breakfast. She had something else to do today.

Kazir and the management of Grey Pictures were planning to start a TV show this year. Stella Willow was a little excited. After all, Stella Willow had been the head of production management at NBC before she joined Grey Pictures. She knew how to make TV shows and how to sell them to the masses.

Grey Pictures had never dabbled in TV shows before, so their plan needed some polishing. Luckily, Stella Willow was there to help.

Kazir gave them two projects to choose from. The director was known as a top screenwriter, so management knew Kazir would come up with something.

Now Stella and the management had to think seriously. They knew they didn't have enough budget to work with two projects, so only one could be produced this year.

The choices were:

A Song of Ice and Fire.

Breaking Bad.

Stella knew about A Song of Ice and Fire. She hadn't read it, but its popularity increased after the release of Lord Of The Rings and Harry Potter.

Fantasy novels became the most popular genre, and A Song Of Ice And Fire was the best of the genre when it came to dark fantasy.

As for Breaking Bad, Stella easily understood that this project was an original script created by Kazir Grey.

Both were promising, but both had their pros and cons.
