Capítulo 214: HWI 214
Hollywood What If Chapter 214
"So how's your life these days?"
"I'm fine. Pretty busy with work." Reese Witherspoon replied, leaning against the painted wall.
They were shooting an interior scene. Ed Helms and Pedro Pascal were in front of the cameras playing their roles.
Kazir Grey decided to visit the set and found Reese Witherspoon. The two struck up a conversation, although the atmosphere was awkward.
"How are you, Kazir? How's your life? Are you and Cameron having fun?"
"I broke up with her two days ago."
"..."
Reese Witherspoon fell silent and bit her lip.
"Then... No, never mind." The woman shook her head and decided to stop talking.
She had a relationship with Kazir and she knew that she was not the right person for him. Kazir was a great lover and sometimes she missed him.
If it were not for her busy schedule, she might think of him most of the time. Kazir was a perfect man in terms of status and fame. He was not a womanizer and he treated his girl so well. However, Kazir never got to the point where he could love.
Reese wanted to go back to him, but she knew it would be useless. What she needed right now was to move on.
She was famous anyway, and many men were trying to court her. Maybe it was time to forget about Kazir... Her first love.
"Kazir, I hope you find happiness in your life."
"You too, Reese. If you need help, you can contact Grey Pictures."
The woman chuckled and shook her head. As expected, this man was too good. He was too good for his friends.
Director Hugo Lameire called Reese and talked about her scene. Director Lameire was quite compliant this time.
Hugo had worked with Universal Pictures last year to make a comedy, but the result was terrible.
Hugo Lameire was trying to break into Hollywood. He was free to work with other companies... But his first time working outside 20th Century Fox was a disaster.
After this tragedy, Hugo Lameire lost his fangs and started to take Napoleon Dynamite III seriously.
Just like last time, Kazir Grey hired a bunch of comedy writers to do the script. He read it and then approved it before giving it to 20th Century Fox.
Then, if the script did not meet 20th Century Fox's expectations, they have the authority to change the script or completely throw it out and make a new one.
Kazir Grey looked at the cast. Ed Helms and Pedro Pascal came up through the ranks of actors after the success of Napoleon Dynamite and The Hangover.
They got some big roles, although most of them didn't have much of an impact on the audience.
As for Reese Witherspoon, she had perhaps the most successful career of the cast. Even her salary was equal to that of Ed Helms.
Moreover, 20th Century Fox reached out and invited Reese Witherspoon to play the role of Elle Woods in Legally Blonde.
Cameron Diaz also expressed interest in the project and the two were currently on a competition.
Kazir decided to let fate decide the outcome of the competition. Both women were of equal stature and had box office appeal.
After watching for a while and being greeted by extras hoping to make a connection with the director, Kazir Grey decided to leave the set.
...
...
...
"Hey, are the rumors true?"
Harold Witsend asked Kazir in a low voice.
"Hm, what do you mean?"
"I'm talking about you! People are saying that you want to leave the agency and return to the WMA!"
"Ah, so that's what you're talking about. What do you think?"
"What do you mean what do you think? I'm asking you, so don't throw the question back at me."
The rumors spread quickly, and it seemed like some were spreading them on purpose.
The WMA said that Kazir already had an agreement with them and all they needed was a proper signing of a contract.
"Kazir, you have to remember what they did to you."
"Relax. I'm just trying to do something. I want to see the reaction from both sides."
Suddenly, Erica Mendez informed them that Salvatore Barlowe had arrived at the building.
"Sir, your agent is here."
"Let him in." Kazir nodded and stood.
The door opened and Kazir greeted Salvatore Barlowe with open arms.
"Kazir!"
"Salvatore!"
The two didn't shake hands, instead they embraced like brothers. It was obvious, however, that Salvatore Barlowe was nervous.
"Let me excuse myself."
Harold Witsend understood that the two needed privacy and left the room on his own.
The two sat down and Salvatore coughed before speaking.
"Kazir, I heard a rumor..."
"If you're talking about the WMA, it's true that an agent from WMA talked to me about changing agencies."
"Then..." Salvatore felt his forehead sweat. Everyone in the business knew that Kazir was his biggest client. The reason his actors and actresses got so many roles was because of the connections they made through Kazir.
"You know WMA, they exaggerate things. Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid without seriously thinking about it. By the way, when is the renewal of our contract?"
"!!!" Salvatore almost jumped.
The Kazir Grey has been a client of CAA for more than 4 years and the contract would end this year... They thought the renewal would be easy, not until the rumors started circulating.
"Kazir..." The agent swallowed hard.
"Don't worry, Salvatore. I'm not leaving the CAA. I think you know what my intentions are."
Kazir smiled and reassured his agent. Of course he wouldn't leave the agent who trusted him from the beginning.
"I understand..." Salvatore sighed and immediately realized his intentions.
"How about we ask how much CAA can do to keep my contract?"
