章節 258: HWI 258
Hollywood What If Chapter 258
Kazir spends the months of December and January in New York filming Spider-Man.
While in New York, he spent some time with his family.
Most of his energy went into the movie, as it was a project he didn't want to mess up. His family was very supportive, his father told him that he was so proud of him.
He was so proud of his two sons, they are living their lives now and they have achievements.
If there was one thing he wanted for... He wanted to see his younger son start a family and maybe have a child.
In fact, Victor Grey (Kazir's father) wanted another grandchild to spoil!
You see, Aaron and his wife decided to take things slow after having a daughter. They have no intention of having another child for the time being.
Now that Victor has experienced having a granddaughter, he has realized that life is worth living. So yes, out of selfishness, he wanted Kazir to have a child or two.
It is up to Kazir if he wants to marry again. After all, his son experienced the same thing as he did. The heartbreak of divorce.
Victor met Angelina a few times and didn't have a problem with the woman. She seemed nice. If Kazir and Angelina wanted to get married and have a child, he would be happy to support them.
For an old grandfather who didn't have much in life except work, Victor felt that having grandchildren was the best thing he could have.
As for Kazir, he was still unsure of his future path. He was traumatized by the divorce and couldn't imagine getting married again. At least not now.
As for having a child. He didn't know how to be a father. He was not sure he would be a good father. He had a chance to be one, but his ex-wife aborted the baby. He didn't know it at the time and he couldn't stop it.
He and Angelina had a good relationship, but it was not enough to determine if they were sure about getting married, much less having a baby. Besides, Angelina's career was just taking off and a pregnancy could affect her blossoming career.
Looking back, Angelina and Kazir began their relationship over a year ago. They had their first night together in December, Christmas Eve to be exact. After that, they decided to become a thing.
And now the year 2000 has just passed and it was already February 2001. Time sure flies when you're that busy.

"Congratulations. Not only Wanted, even the Bruce Almighty you wrote had a great performance."
"Thanks George. I have to stay motivated to stay relevant. I'm not like you, who created a culture in the United States. The influence of the Continental Cinematic Universe is nothing compared to Star Wars."
Kazir visited Industrial Light & Magic to see the progress of the special effects. The special effects project was 85% complete and just needed a few tweaks. Of course, Kazir had to put all these shots together into a complete movie before everything was done. So he probably had to spend another month or two in post-production.
"Give it a few years, your movies will get the same treatment."
Kazir shrugged at George Lucas' answer.
"Anyway, I know you turned down Star Wars Episode 2 because you were interested in Spider-Man. But what about Episode 3?"
"You really want to hire me?"
"I can't help it. You're the most profitable director right now. If you direct Star Wars, I'm sure the box office will be over $1 billion."
"I can't promise you anything."
In his opinion, the romance between Padme and Anakin was somewhat forced. He had an idea how to fix it, but wanted to keep it to himself since he was not sure if he would be working with Star Wars. The plot of the new trilogy was lacking.
The special effects for Spider-Man were going in the right direction. Most of it involved Spider-Man swinging past buildings in New York as if he were Tarzan.
'I can't believe we spent millions of dollars on that eight to ten minutes of detailed animation.'
CGI was very expensive in the early 2000s. But if you compare it to recent movies that are full of CGI, like the Marvel movies, the early 2000s movies had better CGI.
After checking with Industrial Light & Magic, the man decided to return to the studio that Sony-Columbia had given him to edit Spider-Man. He had five editors to work with, one of whom was the senior editor Kazir talked to the most.
Another thing was that someone from Marvel Comics would be in the editing room to watch the whole thing. And sometimes give his opinion.
Luckily, Kazir was given full editing privileges. This gave him the power to bring his full creativity to the project. He had already proven himself in the industry, so Sony-Columbia gave him the power.
One of the perks of being a successful director. Everyone believed your movie would make money.
Perhaps the only thing Kazir could be proud of was his strong memory of things related to movies. Being his most devoted hobby and job, Kazir rarely forgot a scene. This helped a lot in the post-production process.
"Use our third shot for this one. I think it has the right angle and the emotions are expressive."
"Yes, director."
While Kazir was busy editing Spider-Man. One of the Big Six announced its intention to buy Grey Pictures...
+++++
[Well, the time has come. Honestly, I'm still sticking to my opinion to sell at least 30% of Grey Pictures so that the company can join one of the Big Six. Because realistically, if Grey Pictures continues to make successful movies, the Big Six would band together to destroy it. DreamWorks, Lionsgate, and even I can say that Miramax and New Line Cinema have suffered because of the Big Six. Let's not forget 20th Century Fox, that company was now under Disney now. So the Big Six became the Big Five.]
[I want to get your opinion on selling some shares of Grey Pictures to one of the Big Six].
[I'll post two more chapters later, but I can't promise it...]
