HWI 265
Hollywood What If Chapter 265
A man stood next to Reese and it seemed that they were quite close. The distance between them seemed to be zero.
Angelina was surprised and didn't expect this situation. Nevertheless, she kept her smile and congratulated the woman.
Kazir also approached Reese and greeted her.
"Congratulations Reese, Legally Blonde is going to be a box office hit."
"Thank you, Kazir. It's your script, so I believe the same."
"..."
Angelina didn't expect Reese to answer Kazir. She even looked into Kazir's eyes without hesitation. Reese didn't show any embarrassment, she was just happy and true to herself.
It was then that Angelina realized that the woman had changed. Last year, at the premiere of Napoleon Dynamite III, Reese could not look at Kazir, but now she was fine. She was no longer affected by Kazir.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce my friend. Angelina, Kazir, this is Ryan Phillippe."
"Nice to meet you, Ryan."
"Nice to meet you."
The two men shook hands.
Ryan Phillippe was an actor. He had starred in I Know What You Did Last Summer, 54, Playing By Heart, and Cruel Intentions.
"I'm a fan of your movies, director."
"Is that so? I'm glad to hear that."
"I tried to audition for Wanted, but I didn't make it past the second round."
"Maybe we can work together next time."
The two men began to talk about their jobs. They almost forgot about the women next to them.
"Um, we're going to go now. Have fun, guys."
Disappointed that she didn't see the result she was looking for, Angelina decided to pull Kazir away from the couple. She thought she would see Reese getting uncomfortable, but she saw none of that.
'She moved on. Wow...' Angelina didn't expect that outcome.
Feelings and emotions can change and disappear. Kazir and Reese had not seen each other for almost three years. It was enough for a person to change.
"Aren't you going to say anything?"
Angelina and Kazir sat down.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"About Reese and her boyfriend."
"They look perfect together. I can see they are in love. I'm happy for them."
Kazir wished his friends and relatives a good life. No one deserves to suffer.
"...Kazir, you really are a nice person."
Angelina sighed and kissed him on the cheek. She loved that about him. She knew that Kazir meant it when he said it.
'That's good, because I don't want him to be jealous that his ex got a boyfriend. His feelings should only be for me.' she giggled.
In the last few months, she heard a lot of rumors that Kirsten Dunst was trying to get closer to Kazir. Angelina could testify that the rumors were true, she witnessed it herself when she visited the set of Spider-Man. Of course, she signed a non-disclosure agreement before entering the set.
Anyway, she saw Kirsten trying to flirt with Kazir. The good thing was that Kazir was always serious about his work and had no intention of playing with the actress. However, Angelina was still mad about it, so she dominated Kazir in bed... for a few seconds.
Kazir was not a toxic person, and he was genuinely happy that Reese had found someone to love.
'He is not toxic, but he just loves movies so much. I think he loves movies more than I do...'
"Angelina, why are you looking at me like that? Why are you sulking?"
"Nothing, don't mind me."
She said.
A few minutes later, the movie started and the theaters went dark. Movie trailers for upcoming movies began to appear one by one.
.........
......
...
The first weekend of Legally Blonde grossed over $27 million.
This cemented the fact that Kazir Grey's scripts could make money, especially if they were in the comedy or action genres. Unfortunately for the studios, Kazir never sold any of his action scripts. He only sold comedies, well, they were profitable, so it was not a problem.
While Legally Blonde was making money, Spider-Man was doing the same.
The superhero movie grossed $382.53 million after 45 days in theaters. Many believed it would be the highest grossing film of the year domestically.
'Maybe worldwide. But too bad, there are two movies that can challenge Spider-Man at the top.' Kazir thought as he sat in one of the seats of a private plane.
Sony gave them a private plane to use for this worldwide tour. Their first stop was Japan.
'Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings will officially start their huge franchise this year and one of them can become the top 1 highest grossing movie of the year. If I'm not wrong, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone will be the highest grossing movie this year.' he recalled the hype regarding this series.
The cast of Spider-Man had a "light" celebration on the plane. Tobey Maguire and James Franco had a showdown to see who could drink a bottle of beer the fastest.
Tobey Maguire was recommended by Leonardo DiCaprio because they were friends.
As for James Franco, Kazir cast him because he wanted to keep the original cast. Even though he heard that this guy had some scandal...
Anyway, Kazir didn't give a fuck. He knew and accepted the truth about Hollywood, this industry was filled with disgusting people.
"Aren't you going to join them?" Kazir asked his friend Willem Dafoe.
"No, I'm not used to partying. I like alcohol, but not bars and parties."
"Yeah, we are the same."
"It's funny because you're two decades younger than me, but you act like you're already in your 70s. Kazir, you should act like you're your age."
"Willem, I think I act my age."
"Okay."
Anyway, the two "old" men drank a toast and enjoyed the taste of a fine wine served by the flight attendant.
It was a good thing the media wouldn't be there to greet them and they would go straight to their hotel to rest. Otherwise, the newspapers would have reported that the cast of Spider-Man was drunk when they landed in Japan.
