Hollywood What If

Chapter 354

In a small, dark hall, Daenerys Targaryen walked slowly toward the three small, chained dragons.

The three dragons squealed adorably, like kittens excited to see their mother.

Daenerys reached out to touch them.

"Cut--! Pack your things, today's job is over!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Kazir announced and the studio, which looked like a dungeon at the moment, started to get noisy. The crew members began to put things back in their places. The camera crew carefully placed their cameras in a safe room.

Emilia Clarke returned to her cheerful demeanor once the filming was over. The dark atmosphere in the studio was gone, and the lights came up for the last time tonight.

Emilia was now getting better with her acting after three months of acting classes. The acting class that Harold Witsend had recommended to her was top-notch, and she learned quickly.

In fact, she was now the star of her class. After all, she was the only one who had a role in a TV show, and it was even filmed by a famous director.

Some of her classmates had experience working in the industry, but they were not as lucky as she was. Emilia suddenly realized how lucky she was.

Director Grey was an amazing person and Emilia realized this as they worked together. He was serious and a workaholic, but his discipline was on another level.

Kazir had so much patience when Emilia made a mistake, she was a newcomer after all. The director taught her a lot about acting and how to keep her mentality. He would remind her of her character's behavior and how to portray it.

Important advice that even her drama teacher never taught her.

When the day's work was done, Emilia would always approach Kazir to say thank you... She didn't know why she did that. Maybe she owed him something. She couldn't help but look into his eyes most of the time, looking up at him, he was quite tall after all. Her face sometimes turned red when she talked to him.

"Director, thank you as always. I'm grateful that you patiently taught me about my mistakes."

"I rarely cause a fit, and your acting is not that bad. But I won't lie, if you make a mistake for the tenth time today, I might have to yell at you to stop bothering everyone. The more mistakes you make, the longer the cast and crew will have to work."

"I-I understand."

Anyway, she changed her mind. Kazir was not a good person. He was bad!

Sometimes Emilia was confused as to why her agent was trying to tell her to make a connection with this director.

'I mean, yes, he is handsome. But that's the only good thing about him,' she thought.

Her agent even told her that if the timing was right, she should sleep with the man. Yes, Emilia's agent literally said that word for word.

Too bad, because that was never going to happen. This month would be the last time Kazir would direct this project. His assistant, Palenque Simone, would take over as director.

Kazir Grey had to focus on his next project, which would be Spider-Man 2... A very famous one.

'Sometimes I forget that director Grey is actually the guy who directed Spider-Man and Wanted. He seems so down to earth.'

She worked with the guy for months, so her opinion of him was normal.

Fox TV and Grey Pictures had already made a deal and Game of Thrones would air in November. The first two episodes would be the pilots. If the ratings were not satisfactory, Fox TV would pull Game of Thrones out of primetime.

......

...

...

There was a reason why Kazir left work early today.

Tonight was the premiere of his girlfriend's movie, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life... A long title to remember. The movie would be released on July 25, which was today.

On July 25th, Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl grossed $160.51 million at the North American box office.

Critics have already accepted that this movie is different from the usual pirate movies. Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl was, to say the least, entertaining.

This changed their minds about pirate movies, but not that much. They just accepted that Kazir was a talented director, even more so.

It was amazing how a director like him thought of this movie. He was the scriptwriter of Pirates of the Caribbean, his imagination was really out of this world.

On the same day, July 25, Bad Boys II, which was recognized as Pirates Of The Caribbean's rival that month, grossed $73.14 million. It did well, but was weaker compared to Pirates Of The Caribbean.

"... Again, my movie was released in the same month as yours. Do you really love me so much that you want our movies to be so close?"

This was the second time this had happened. Two years ago, Gone in 60 Seconds and Wanted were only a week apart.

Angelina teased the man next to her, lewdly pinching his thick arm.

"Babe, you should ask Paramount Pictures, not me. I have no idea why they scheduled your movie two weeks after mine."

"I already asked them. They said that this week was the best time for Lara Croft: Tomb Raider: blah blah blah." She slurred her last sentence.

She was not lying, Paramount Pictures was releasing the movie in the last week of July because August would be dominated by Grey Pictures' newest franchise, The Equalizer.

20th Century Fox announced that they would be releasing The Equalizer in August instead of what they had originally planned. The Equalizer was supposed to be released in July, but 20th Century Fox changed it.
