Hollywood What If Chapter 232
The copyrights to Napoleon Dynamite were acquired by 20th Century Fox, more specifically, Fox Searchlight Pictures.
This was the first movie that Fox Searchlight Pictures distributed and it was a huge success. This gave Fox Searchlight Pictures the ability to acquire more profitable films at low prices, such as The Full Monty. The Full Monty made $258 million at the box office despite a low budget of $3.5 million.
Director Kazir Grey sold the copyrights in 1995 for $25 million. It was his first successful movie and it got him where he is now.
The higher-ups at 20th Century Fox felt that this was the right time to end Napoleon Dynamite for the time being. Maybe they would do a sequel in five to ten years.
With that in mind, they are promoting Napoleon Dynamite III as the last film in the franchise in order to attract more audiences.
'I made over $5 million just being an executive producer on the movie. Hell, I was only on the set a couple of times. '
Kazir thought to himself. He realized that his position in the industry was no longer easy. Just by being an executive producer who didn't work much for the project, he already made $5 million... Maybe that was the reason why director Lameire was angry with him. Because their salary was the same.
"Are you sure you want to take me to the premiere? I heard your ex-girlfriend is going to be there." Angelina playfully teased the man next to her.
"Are you talking about Reese?" Kazir put down the newspaper. He was reading the news about Ridley Scott's Gladiator.
"Obviously." She rolled her eyes.
"My relationship with Reese has been complicated."
"Yeah, yeah, you don't have to explain. You guys are fuck buddies, but more than that."
"That's harsh. And no, we're not."
Kazir knew that they had never acknowledged their relationship in public. But he believed their relationship was more than that. He actually had feelings for Reese.
The two stepped out of the limousine and accepted the attention from the reporters and cameras flashing in front of them.
Angelina was very bold and showed her affection for Kazir by kissing him on the lips in front of the media. Perhaps tomorrow, their kissing pictures would be circulated everywhere.
If anything was surprising, it was the fact that Kazir was playing with Angelina. He didn't push her away, he kissed her back.
Even the reporter who was supposed to interview them was stunned and could only ask them trivial questions.
"Angelina, you are very brave to do this. You know this is the premiere of Napoleon Dynamite III, yet you stole the media's attention for what you did. What if it affects the box office of Napoleon Dynamite III?" Kazir whispered in her ear and Angelina felt ticklish.
"Then let it be. I believe the changes it will bring to Napoleon Dynamite III will be positive. Kazir, I know Napoleon Dynamite III was written by you, and I want it to succeed. I want to see you happy." She giggled and squeezed his arm tighter.
"Thank you..."
As for the script of Napoleon Dynamite III, Kazir hired a group of professional writers. He just gave his opinion and let them write the general content.
Honestly, Kazir didn't know the outcome of the movie. He just hoped that more people would see Napoleon Dynamite III because of the previous successes of the franchise.
The theater was packed, as usual.
Kazir recognized so many people, most of them were the cast of Napoleon Dynamite he worked with six years ago.
One person in particular caught his eye.
"Why don't we say hello?" Angelina suggested with an innocent smile.
"Angelina, what are you going to do this time?"
"Me? Nothing, of course."
But her intention was clear, and Angelina pulled Kazir over to Reese Witherspoon, who was wearing a tight pink dress with a low v-cut that revealed her cleavage. Legally Blonde was in the making, and it seemed that Reese was influenced by the aesthetic.
Of course, Angelina also wore something special. A backless velvet dress with her hair in a bun. Perhaps Angelina wore this on purpose to attract attention and compete with Reese Witherspoon.
"Hello, I'm Angelina Jolie." She was the first to introduce herself.
"Hmm? Oh, hi! I'm Reese Witherspoon." Reese looked at Angelina before she looked at Kazir.
Her expression was... normal. She didn't react much and her reaction was nothing special.
"Oh my God, you're so beautiful."
"Thank you, so are you."
The two women began to talk and praise each other, with Kazir standing between them and keeping his mouth shut.
After a few minutes of useless conversation, the couple left.
"Tch, she's no fun. I thought she had an interesting face. I guess you're sad, Kazir. This woman is already over you."
"I'm actually happy for her," Kazir replied.
"What? You're not bitter that she's moved on?"
Kazir nodded. He was the type who hoped everyone around him had a happy life.
"Man, you're no fun either... But I like that about you." She chuckled and leaned against his shoulder.
'Well, maybe Reese is just good at hiding her emotions. Now that I think about it, she never says hello or talks to Kazir.'
Angelina thought about it.
'I think I can understand why. Kazir is a man many women have dreamed of. Even I felt that this man would be a part of my heart even if we parted, which I hope will never happen.'
"Angelina, don't try that again. Remember, we are just guests and tonight is all about Napoleon Dynamite III. We don't want to cause any trouble."
"Okay~" She replied sarcastically, enjoying her man's serious reaction.
After that, the two wait for the premiere to start to watch the movie, Napoleon Dynamite III.
++++
[Author's note: I have no idea what the plot of Napoleon Dynamite III will be, so I will skip this part and go with the box office of Napoleon Dynamite III instead. I do not intend to write too much about Napoleon Dynamite III. There are three movies coming out this summer that have a strong connection to Kazir. They are Napoleon Dynamite III, Bruce Almighty and Wanted.]
