HWI 84

Hollywood What If Chapter 84

It was true that there countless talented actresses in Hollywood. Unfortunately, most of them never received the limelight. 

Hollywood was a place where connection was very important. Talent was not enough, sometimes actresses/actors have to sell their souls just to reach their dreams. Actresses who were not ready for that would be buried without mercy. 

While Liam Neeson was gone, Kazir decided to interview Brianna.

'This is someone I didn't know... Am I going to change the future again? Famke Janssen should get the role, that should happen but...'

Kazir bit his lip. Then, he started writing a short script, about a husband and wife... He didn't know why he was doing this. 

"Miss Evans, it said here that you're from Australia... Tell me, do you have a child?"

Perhaps because his mind was in turmoil, Kazir asked quickly without hesitation.

'I need to know if my guess is right.'

"Haha, I'm sorry about that. It's improper for me to ask that. Anyway, it said here that you are 32 years old."

The role was a mother who had a teenage daughter so her age should be appropriate. At least she should be a middle age woman. Perhaps that was the reason why Brianna Evans, who didn't have connections, passed the second round. 

'Appearance-wise, she's not extremely beautiful. But she looks gentle... Unfortunately, she should have auditioned for a drama. Because her talent will not be able to be shown in an action movie. Her scenes were too small... Unless... Damn it, my artistic sense is getting out of control.'

"Hello, Director Grey. Just like what is written in the documents, I'm 32 years old. I worked in a theater for 16 years. And no, I don't have a child."

"I see... Then how did you find a way to act out this role? Did you research it or something?"

"Yes... I only received the script two weeks ago. So I spent my remaining money going to libraries and searching for articles about missing kids. I also interviewed parents who lost their children, particularly parents of deceased soldiers. I decided to put myself in their shoes for this audition."

"..."

Kazir grinned.

His guess was spot on. 

'This woman is a method actor.'

Method actor was a terrifying way to master the art of acting. Some people went crazy because of it. 

Kazir knew someone he respected and was scared of at the same time. When he curiously watched The Dark Night(2nd movie of Nolan's Batman), Kazir saw the terrifying explosiveness of a method actor. 

The Joker gave him goosebumps the whole movie. As a director, Kazir realized the real protagonist of The Dark Night was Joker, not Batman. Heath Ledger stole the attention of the audience and it was fucking beautiful... Kazir cried realizing that the film industry lost someone like him. 

'... I wonder. Where is Heath Ledger right now?'

"Director Grey, you called for me?"

Liam Neeson showed up with a new t-shirt. He had a schedule of visiting the studio three times a week to train in stunt choreography with Tae-Won Park. Most of the difficult stunts would be taken care of by the stunt doubles but Liam Neeson still has to participate. 

"Right timing, Liam I just wrote a short script. I wonder if you can act it with Miss Evans here."

Kazir passed the script to Liam Neeson and the actor started reading it. 

"Director, give me a few minutes to prepare my mood."

"No problem, Miss Evans. This is your copy. Please read it."

"Thanks, director." The actress accepted the script with respect. 

For the record, Liam Neeson was a talented actor. He was disciplined and respected. His discipline in working in showbiz was impeccable. Kazir witnessed how Liam Neeson's worked seriously after signing the contract. 

Schindler's List shook the hearts of many people and Liam Neeson's performance was satisfying. 

One thing was clear, Liam Neeson was a great actor. 

"You guys ready?"

"Yeah."

However...

The whole scene became quiet until Harold next to Kazir started weeping. 

Even Renner wiped his tears as he kept the camera pointed at Brianna Evans. 

When the short act ended, Liam Neeson was shocked. He touched his chin.

"... I was overpowered." 

He looked at the woman who acted the role of a heartbroken mother. 

"Cut... Brianna, someone will contact you later. I hope we will have a cooperation."

"Thanks, director."

Perhaps the woman was still in the state of being a mother, she didn't smile at all despite hearing the recognition from Kazir. 

"Kazir... That woman. No, Miss Evans..."

When Brianna was gone, Liam Neeson stayed in the audition room to talk to Kazir. 

Kazir sighed.

"I'm sorry Liam, I know that it might be troublesome to you. I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable."

"No, it's alright. I know that you are a director and you are going to hire the best actress for the role... I just can't believe that I have to act with Miss Evans for three movies."

Kazir grinned and didn't bother explaining. Liam Neeson only read the first movie... He didn't know that Lenore Mills was going to die. 

'Should I make it dramatic?'

That was the question. 

Kazir opened his phone and called someone. The next audition was for the role of the daughter. 

[Kazir, why did you call me? Did you already met my client?] Salvatore responded. 

"Salvatore, I think you be interested to sign this woman named Brianna Evans. I assure you that you will never regret it. You can contact her later if you're not busy. I will send you her contact number. By the way, are you really sure that your little client can perform well?"

[Don't worry, Kazir. She is prepared. She studied the script since three months ago. I believe she will be the perfect cast for the role... Regarding the woman you're talking about, I'm going to call her later.]

"Hm." Kazir Grey just nodded. 

Actually, Kazir was too busy and he didn't have any idea about Salvatore's clients. He only knew Enzo Park.
