Hollywood What If Chapter 210

"Thank you so much, Director Grey!"

Franklin Maxwell bid farewell with excitement. The smile on his face almost beamed the afternoon. 

He was a not-so-important agent in the William Morris Agency and his biggest client was Orlando Bloom who successfully got the role of Legolas in Lord Of The Rings. 

To be honest, he was still not sure about Orlando Bloom because epic novels with fantasy elements were very hard to replicate in this era. The future of Lord Of The Rings was not clear. Furthermore, Franklin heard that the investment in this movie was quite tight after Miramax passed the project to New Line Cinema. 

So he decided to contact Kazir Grey and hoped for the better. He knew that the chance was very low, but Franklin Maxwell was an agent. People like them should have a shameless face. 

His first intention was to talk to Kazir Grey and hopefully convince him to cast Orlando Bloom as the protagonist of his new project. That would be a big break for a small actor like Orlando Bloom. 

His second plan was to find a way to convince Director Grey to return to WMA and become his client. He honestly felt like this plan would not work. 

Still, never say never, he formed a plan and decided to use a beauty trap to entice the director. It didn't work but at least Kazir was not averse to the idea. 

Suddenly, when Franklin Maxwell passed the contract to Kazir Grey, he realized that he was interested! Even though it was small, he sensed that Kazir Grey was interested in the conditions laid on the contract! 

'I should talk to one of the vice presidents and convince him to agree with the last condition about sending a client to Kazir's apartment every week! It's a win-win situation for both sides.'

Director Grey was the type of person who returned favors. The women who had relationships with him this past few years had good careers. 

Reese Witherspoon.

Brianna Evans.

Cameron Diaz. 

Two of these women became his girlfriends... Erm, his relationship with Reese Witherspoon was unclear but Franklin Maxwell got the gist of the story. In fact, he believed that Brianna Evans had a fling with Kazir Grey as well.

Any woman who wanted to reach the height of fame would never hesitate to get into his pants! That was the truth. 

Walking to the road, Franklin Maxwell could not help but imagine the future once Kazir Grey became his client! He didn't give a fuck about the commission. 

He had a means of getting money once Kazir became his client. Not only that, he had so many means to get bitches once Kazir Grey became his client! 

Hollywood. The land of Show Business. Where the truth and lies were so hard to discern. 

Kazir Grey sneered as he looked in the direction where WMA Agent Franklin Maxwell walked. 

'He is stupid if he believes that I'm interested in changing agency. I want stability and CAA gave me that. There's no reason to leave the agency, at least not now.'

Grey Pictures was at the point where they needed stability. The project this time was very important and it would carve the destiny of Grey Pictures. 

Next year, there was only one movie that Grey Pictures would release. It was none other than Wanted. 

Fremont Smith finished Taken 2 and he intended to direct John Wick Chapter 2 as well. 

However, Fremont Smith hoped that he could get at least four months of vacation. Filming a movie was very exhausting and stressful. He wanted to savor the success he got before starting John Wick Chapter 2. The movie might be released in 2001. 

The salary that Fremont Smith got in this project was $1.9 million. Smaller than the main actors. It was understandable since this was his first project. It was already a miracle that he got that amount. 

Furthermore, Grey Pictures was not that cheap and promised to give him another $1 million if Taken 2 surpassed $200 million, which had a strong chance of happening. If not, Fremont Smith would get $200 thousand instead. 

The average salary of men in 1999 was around $36,000 for, a full-time job. Yet Fremont Smith got more than just one movie. 

It was true that making movies was a profitable business. Making bad movies was profitable as well once in the videotape market. And making adult movies was profitable too... 

Anyway, humans were visual creatures. They prefer watching movies or TV shows than reading or listening to the radio. As long as people consume the products produced by the media, movies will be profitable. 

Kazir found his car and entered it. However, someone knocked on the window next to him. 

Kazir turned to the window and the first thing he saw was a cleavage of a woman. 

The director frowned and opened the window slightly. 

"Hello Director Grey, I'm Jessica Alba!"

The woman greeted him with a bright innocent smile. She was so sweet that Kazir was stunned for a second before he could reply. 

"Hm, you're the one from the room earlier, together with the other six people."

"That's right," Jessica Alba nodded and leaned closer to the window, giving Kazir a better view of her breast... Kazir realized that the woman was not wearing a bra. 

[Author's Note: I'm not sure if I talked about Fremont Smith's salary so I decided to randomly type a number. If I did, that means I forgot about it. I will edit his salary once I confirm it.]

[I honestly thought you guys would choose Hale Berry or Jessica Chastain, but it seems that more of you prefer Jessica Alba. Unfortunately, after doing some slight research and after reading Hollywood Production one year ago, I found a rumor that Jessica Alba has Herpes. This was never confirmed but the rumor is very strong. Google said that Jessica Alba caught the disease back in 2004 from her ex-boyfriend. So I'm gonna ask you again, do you want Jessica Alba to have a sexual relationship with Kazir Grey, yes or no?]

[Another thing, don't take whatever I said/wrote seriously. I'm just a simple Filipino guy who never had a good grade in English and Math when I was at school. Honestly, I didn't even expect that I could actually write a novel. I just want you guys to have fun and be entertained by my stories. I've been busy(out of the house) lately and I can only update HWI. I'll try to write more tomorrow.]
