Hollywood What If Chapter 207

"I guess this is the end for us." Cameron Diaz smiled bitterly as she put down the tea she sipped. Just like her expression, the tea was bitter as well. 

They decided to go to a cafe and talk about their future. Knowing the outcome of this meeting, Cameron Diaz felt like drinking tea. 

"Cam, you're a beautiful and great woman and I believe that you deserve better," Kazir replied honestly. 

"Indeed." 

Cameron Diaz didn't deny it. Her status these days was getting prominent and people acknowledged her capability as an actress. With that as leverage, she could easily marry a millionaire... 

However, there was something about Kazir Grey that satisfied her as a woman. Kazir was a good lover, yet he never put importance on her and their relationship. 

As a woman, Cameron Diaz wanted to prove herself and make sure that Kazir would fall in love with her. Perhaps it boosted her ego, or perhaps she was truly interested in Kazir. 

Still, the man across the small table didn't show any interest. As if everything was business to him. The only time that Kazir looked sincere and happy was when he was working on his movie projects. 

As if Kazir closed his heart, intending to never open it. It was hard for him to trust a woman. 

Cameron Diaz regretted that fact. If they met earlier, perhaps she had a chance in his heart. But reality was a cruel thing. 

"Then, I hope you will meet someone who can make you happy."

"Thanks, Cam. If you need help, you can contact me. I'll try to help as much as I can." 

"That's what I like about you." Cameron Diaz giggled. The contract that she signed helped her a lot. 

She knew that Kazir Grey could recognize the potential of a movie just by reading a portion of the script. 

In fact, Cameron Diaz gathered scripts from her agent and let Kazir Grey read them. She wanted to hear his opinion because she felt like Kazir had this premonition thingy that could deduce the outcome of the movie. Of course, she did her best and 'paid' him for saying his opinion. 

In the end, out of all the scripts that she passed to Kazir. The talented director told her the scripts that caught his attention. 

Bridget Jones Diary. Kazir said that this movie might have sequels if done right. 

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Kazir said that action movies starring women would have a good performance at the box office. However, Cameron Diaz already starred in The Bourne Identity and she had a role in Charlie's Angels as well. She didn't want any action movies for the time being. 

The last script that caught Kazir's attention was Erin Brockovich. This movie was based on a true story. This kind of movie was the type that the Academy loved to promote. If Cameron Diaz got the role, and Erin Brockovich was a success, then she might get an Oscar. 

Honestly, Cameron Diaz was interested in winning an Oscar statue but she knew that her credentials were not enough. 

The three scripts seemed good, but Cameron wanted a different role. 

"Kazir, I heard that you sold a script to 20th Century Fox."

"Yeah, they have been trying to buy this script from me since a year ago."

"Do you mind if I participate in this movie? I want to be the leading role in the movie that you have written."

Cameron curled her lips, leaning towards him. She heard a rumor that Kazir Grey recommended his 'friend' Reese Witherspoon for the main role. 

"That's fine. You can do what you want." 

Kazir didn't have a problem. 

"Thanks, Kazir. Can you please recommend me to 20th Century Fox as well? Please~" She said in a seductive manner. 

"I'll try my best."

Knowing that Kazir always made sure to keep his promise, Cameron Diaz sincerely smiled and thanked him. 

By the way, the title of the script that Kazir sold to 20th Century Fox was "Legally Blonde." 

Yeah, Cameron Diaz was trying to face Reese Witherspoon head-on this time. Women, they are frightening creatures.

"Are you sure about this?"

Orlando Bloom asked his agent on the phone. Orlando Bloom was still in New Zealand, filming Lord Of The Rings. However, he received a message from his agent that Grey Pictures was interested in working with him. 

Grey Pictures was just a new production company but the movies they produced were all box office hits. 

For a small actor like Orlando Bloom, working with Grey Pictures was a heaven-sent. The Lord Of The Rings was a famous literary masterpiece but it had so many characters and his screen time was average at best. Furthermore, all he did most of the time was act handsome while pulling the string of his bow. 

Well, using his handsome appearance was a good weapon and Orlando Bloom was thankful for that. 

Still, Orlando Bloom believed that he needed a better platform. 

He already read the script of Wanted and he realized that this movie might be the biggest movie next year. Although this movie would have John Wick, Bryan Mills, and Jason Bourne, the main character was none other than Wesley Gibson. He was the most important character in this movie. 

If he had a chance, Orlando Bloom wanted to talk to Kazir Grey personally. 

Unfortunately, there was a huge hurdle in this situation. 

Orlando Bloom was a client of WMA. Everyone knew the relationship between WMA and Grey Pictures was sourly bad. 

It was already a miracle that Orlando Bloom was invited. So he hoped that his agent would do the right thing. 

-- Don't worry Orlando, I'm doing this for both of us.

The agent, Franklin Maxwell, assured his client. They were both on the same page and they wanted to be part of Kazir's next project. 

"Thanks, Frank." Orlando Bloom said. 

However, Orlando Bloom didn't know that agent Franklin Maxwell had another motive why he wanted to meet the director.
