Hollywood What If Chapter 177

Kazir was slightly confused about this situation. He was the type of director who didn't like to socialize very much. He only attended a party if it was related to him or he was invited. 

He knew the importance of making connections. As for actors and actresses, they were the ones who would approach him, not the other way around. 

Of course, with his status, he understood that Jim Carrey wanted to form a connection with him.

"I heard that you recommended me to Sony-Columbia to be the protagonist of Bruce Almighty."

"Ah."

Immediately after that, Kazir realized why Jim Carrey talked to him. 

'It seems that Sony-Columbia already contacted Jim Carrey. Although I didn't know why they told Jim Carrey about me recommending him... Perhaps the lips of the people in the management are hard to shut.'

Anyway, this could be a good thing. Forming a relationship with a great actor like Jim Carrey was a good thing. 

"You're an actor who has a massive range of facial expressions, I believe everyone recognized your talent."

Kazir was not lying. Jim Carrey was like a living cartoon character with his way of acting. Very entertaining. 

"Thanks, director."

Jim Carrey smiled. 

Jim Carrey was an actor who knew how the industry works. He recognized that Hollywood was slowly dying into a pool of shit. 

In Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jim Carrey mocked Hollywood by doing an Illuminati sign. Showing that many people in this industry were part of the Illuminati. 

Of course, perhaps Jim Carrey was just joking and Illuminati was not real. 

As for the truth, no one actually knows... 

Anyway, for Jim Carrey to expose the 'truth' was already a brave act. Most of the actors would hide and cower, or join instead. 

Media was the biggest hypnotist in the world and it wouldn't be a lie if a secret organization was controlling the show business. 

What you watched on the television was controlling you, in a mild or raging manner. 

Anyway, Jim Carrey appreciates the fact that Kazir Grey recommended him. 

In the first place, Bruce Almighty looks promising. After reading the script, Jim Carrey understood that the movie would be a box-office hit. On top of that, the script was written by Kazir Grey, a talented scriptwriter in the comedy genre. Meaning, that the movie has a higher chance of being a blockbuster. 

Unless a huge trouble happened such as ceasing the production of the wrong release schedule, Bruce Almighty would definitely be a successful movie. 

Jim Carrey and Sony-Columbia communicated for days and their intention was clear. Both sides wanted to cooperate and make Bruce Almighty a movie. They were just negotiating about other conditions such as salary and other requests. 

Unfortunately, Jim Carrey was not the only actor that Sony-Columbia was looking for. 

Robin Williams, Adam Sandler, Steve Martin, Will Ferell, and even Ben Stiller. When Paramount announced that they bought three scripts from Kazir Grey, these actors who were known in the comedy genre expressed their intentions. 

Even though Jim Carrey was the first choice, he might not get the role. 

Honestly, Jim Carrey could drop Bruce Almighty and find another movie to participate in, a movie that could pay him better. 

However, he was not sure if the movie would be better than Bruce Almighty. After all, Bruce Almighty was written by Kazir Grey. 

So he decided to talk to Kazir Grey, hoping that he could talk to Paramount and increase his chances. 

"I heard that you're not going to participate in the audition. It's sad because I want to show you my acting." Jim Carrey said. 

"I'm going to fly to Italy to film a movie."

The audition for Bruce Almighty would start in May but Kazir would not be in the USA at that time. The ones responsible for judging the actors were the director, producer, and higher-ups of Sony-Columbia. 

Sony-Columbia hoped that Kazir would watch the audition but his schedule said no. 

"Is that so? Then I hope we can meet again. As an actor, I want to cooperate with someone like you."

Jim Carrey didn't push the topic of casting too much. It was already good that he talked to Kazir. After all, this matter would travel the ears of Sony-Columbia, giving him a higher chance of getting the role. 

After the two talked about things that they could relate to, other people started appearing. Most of them were interested in Kazir Grey because of his position.

...

Inside the studio, five people were moving the boat to replicate the wobbling effect of a real boat on the surface of the ocean. The background was dim to make the background just like nighttime. 

The unsteady motion made the actors inside the boat feel like they were inside a boat. Furthermore, the crew used a flashing light to recreate the lightning effect to appear that the boat was in the middle of the ocean and the storm was ongoing. 

While that was happening, a camera was recording their expressions. 

Jason Bourne was lying down on the table when the doctor pulled a bullet from Jason's hip. 

The doctor inspected the bullet and realized something strange, the bullet had a set of numbers that led to a bank. 

The doctor checked on his patience when he realized that the man was missing!

"What the hell did you do to me!?"

Suddenly, Jason Bourne grabbed the doctor and slammed him to the wall. Out of shock and fear, the doctor started speaking in Italian. 

"What are you doing?"

Jason Bourne asked. No recollection of everything. 

"Goddamn it! Where am I?"

"A boat!" The doctor quickly replied as Jason strangled him. 

"We pulled you out of the ocean! W- We saw you floating in the ocean and saved you!"

"You were shot. See the bullet? There's a bank number in this." The doctor gestured and showed the bullet to Jason. 

Jason was too weak and his last remaining strength disappeared.
