HWI 211

Hollywood What If Chapter 211

Jessica Alba, Kazir recognized her face before she could even introduce herself. 

When he glanced at the room, he found her face familiar and recalled a certain TV show called Dark Angel. However, the thing that made him remember was the woman's role in Fantastic Four. A movie based on a superhero comic. Marvel sold the movie adaptation to 20th Century Fox together with X-Men. 

Anyway, he knew about Jessica Alba. Kazir Grey studied the woman and realized that the woman was young and she looked innocent and sweet. 

'... Now I wonder how she got into that room.' 

Based on his deduction, he believed that Jessica Alba was 18 or 19 years old at best. She was looking young. 

Kazir's vision traveled down and confirmed that the woman was still in her skimpy outfit. A very short skirt that barely covered her ass and an off-shoulder top. 

It would be a lie if Kazir said that he was not attracted to her appearance. The woman's appearance was screaming at him to do her. Yep, that was Kazir's conclusion. 

He lowered the car window. 

"Miss Jessica, do you wear clothes like this all the time?" He asked, out of curiosity. 

"Director Grey, this is my first time wearing a skirt like this, my legs actually feel cold. The reason why I'm wearing this is because I heard that I will meet you today."

The woman did her best and explained. 

Kazir looked into her eyes. Kazir was a director and he knew if a person was acting or not, he nodded when he confirmed that the woman was not lying. Unless Jessica Alba was super good at acting she could fool a director like Kazir Grey. 

"Director, can you please give me some time to speak? I know you're busy but this is a rare chance for me. I want to talk to you."

'... This is the second time that this thing happened today. Should I agree?'

Kazir didn't have anything to do today. He already talked to Cameron Diaz earlier and officially broke up with her.

'Hehe, it's funny that I just broke up with her today, and yet here I am, having a conversation with another woman. Media might paint me as a womanizer.'

After thinking about it, Kazir nodded. However, he never left the car.

"You have a minute to talk." He announced. 

"Director, can I enter your car? I'm not comfortable in my dress right now." Jessica Alba smiled, although her cheeks were blushing. 

"I'm sorry. You should speak now, or I'll leave."

"Alright, alright. I auditioned for your project and I passed the first round."

'Now everything makes sense... However, my project only has a few female characters.'

The biggest female role in the movie was Fox, Grey Pictures was trying to contact Angelina Jolie to audition for the role. 

The second was the fat female boss who was bullying Wesley Gibson. 

The third was Wesley Gibson's girlfriend who cheated on him.

'For Jessica's age, it should be hard for her to pass the second round. Perhaps that's the reason why she attended this 'meeting' today, to convince me...'

The first round was about appearance check while the second round was about acting capability. Although most of the important roles were taken by actresses who had connections with the crew. That was usually how it worked. 

"I'm hoping that you can give me a chance to prove to you that I can take the role of Fox in your movie..." She bit her lip and leaned closer to the car. "I can visit your apartment if you want. Don't worry, I'm 18 years old." 

"..." Kazir didn't respond. 

As a man, Kazir was excited. That was basic biology. It would be gay if he said that he was not affected by the woman's advancement. 

Unfortunately, Kazir experienced so many beauty traps in this industry that he was accustomed to this kind of situation. 

He shook his head and apologized. 

"I'm sorry Jessica but I never resort to that kind of transaction."

"W- What? But I thought Reese--"

"She never did it, I never did."

The two had a staring contest. 

Jessica Alba had her movie debut in 1994 as a child actor... The movie didn't have a good performance. 

Next year after that, she got a main role in a movie but it was only distributed on the videotape market. 

She studied acting for four years after that. She had three movie projects this year. For a new actress, that was actually not bad. Unfortunately, they never had a good performance at the box office, again. 

Her agent recommended she audition for movies that had a strong chance of winning the box office. 

Everyone in Hollywood knew about the rising production company named Grey Pictures. Next year, they would release another Continental movie and everyone believed that this movie would perform well. 

Jessica didn't hesitate and joined the audition. She passed the first audition, thankfully. Yet she understood that it was not for her to secure a role. 

She needed to find a way to talk to the casting director. Yes, a very common method in this industry. Having sex with the casting director or any important people in a movie project. This thing could happen to male actors as well. After all, there were many gays, lesbians, and bisexuals in this industry. 

Jessica Alba's agent informed her that another agent was trying to contact Kazir. If the director agreed, he would spend some time in the private room. 

Jessica accepted the job and wore a very appealing outfit hoping that Kazir Grey would be entertained.

The other six people in the private room were thinking the same way as her. They needed to form a connection with someone like Director Grey. 

Unfortunately, Jessica Alba confirmed that the man in the car had his pride and he would never succumb to corruption. 

"Director--"

"I'm sorry, Jessica. You can attend the second round of auditions. If you pass the second round, then we will meet at the last round. At that time, I will test you equally based on your capability as an actress. That's all I can do."

The car left the woman standing on the road, quite cold. 

[Erm, spoiler alert, the woman will pass the second round and Kazir will meet her again. As for the outcome, I'm still not sure. I promised you guys that Kazir Grey will meet Jennifer Connelly(she's the one you chose a few weeks ago) and I'm trying to cook a story about them. So yeah, maybe Kazir will have a relationship with these two later, not confirmed by the way.]
