Hollywood What If - Chapter 297
Chapter 297
There were only a few actors in this film, and Kazir didn’t spend much on their salaries. If there was one good thing, it was that they were all good at acting, despite their low salaries.
‘Tom Hardy was good, but Joaquin Phoenix was great.’ Kazir admits that the future Joker has what it takes to win an Oscar. Maybe he could be nominated for Best Supporting Actor in this film, it depends on the situation.
With that, The Revenant wrapped and the crew returned to Los Angeles.
Kazir had three films to attend before the summer was over… The films were The Bourne Supremacy, Meet The Fockers and Mr And Mrs Smith.
These three films were all connected to Kazir and it was his duty to attend the premieres to support them.
…
…
…
The 4th of July was Independence Day and it was a holiday so people had free time to rest and relax. Some people decided to spend their holiday indoors, while others decided to attend the premiere of The Bourne Supremacy, the second film in the Jason Bourne franchise.
Kazir passed the baton to Paul Greengrass and became executive producer instead… Although he was not that present in filming set most of the time. Kazir was also busy with his other things. Kazir also avoided Cameron Diaz.
But now that the premiere had arrived, Kazir had no choice but to attend the premiere. The red carpet was supposed to focus on the cast, not on someone like him who was just a guest, so he didn’t spend much time on the red carpet.
The usual procedure on the red carpet was always the same and Kazir was used to it.
Exit the limousine.
Step onto the red carpet.
Smile at the people.
Wave to the fans.
If he had a partner, they would be close. (Which he didn’t, as he attended the premiere alone, as his relationship with Angelina was rather rocky).
Pose for the cameras, making sure he looks presentable.
The reporter will ask him a few questions.
Then Kazir would enter the theatre and wait for the screening.
There was nothing new, so Kazir didn’t make any mistakes on the red carpet.
He entered the theatre with confidence. He was actually grateful that the reporter didn’t ask him about Angelina, because Kazir didn’t know the answer either.
He looked around, the lights were still on so he could see quite well.
“Hey, Kazir. It’s nice to meet you tonight!”
Matt Damon saw him and greeted him with a smile. The two shook hands and Matt Damon assured him of something.
“Don’t worry, I heard Cameron Diaz won’t be here tonight.”
Apparently, the woman was filming a perfume commercial.
“Huh? Where did you get the impression that I was avoiding Cam?”
“But I thought you didn’t like her.” Matt tilted his head.
“It’s not that I don’t like her. I just want to stay out of trouble. That’s the best thing to do.”
Kazir was afraid that Cameron had weak self-control and that she might do something wrong in public. He didn’t hate her, he just wanted to be free of any stress.
“That’s good then.” Matt Damon looked around and realised that Kazir was at the premiere alone.
It seemed that Kazir and Angelina were over.
Kazir saw Paul Greengrass. The man was in his 40s and this was his first big film. He was sweating and nervous as he greeted Kazir.
They were both directors, but Kazir was his boss. He was also grateful that Kazir had given him the chance to direct The Bourne Supremacy. A nobody like him.
He did his best for the film. He did his best to convince Matt Damon and win his trust. He made an experimental short film just to show Matt that he was capable of making an action movie.
Fortunately, after months of negotiations, Matt Damon agreed.
Kazir was famously picky and never made a sequel. He always hired another director to make the sequel to his films. Only Spider-Man 2, which was in preparation, was the only sequel Kazir wanted to make.
Then Kazir saw an old man walking with a cane, with his son beside him. He was walking towards him. Kazir didn’t let the old walk more and instead approached the old man and his son.
“Robert, you’re doing well.”
“Don’t joke, I know… My health is falling.” Robert Ludlum sighed. He was actually sick right now, but he was doing his best to attend the premiere of The Bourne Supremacy.
Jason Bourne was his creation and he wanted to see him in person.
Robert Ludlum was already 75 years old and he knew his time was coming. Money was no longer an issue. He just wanted to watch the movie in the cinema before he died.
Kazir smiled at the old man and talked to him, doing his best to make sure the old man was happy with the premiere.
“I was actually bitter when I found out you weren’t going to direct The Bourne Supremacy, but oh well, I can let bygones be bygones. Just make sure Jason Bourne finds a home in the universe you’re creating. ”
“I will, I promise you, Robert.”
After a few conversations and meeting some people and actors, the premiere of The Bourne Supremacy took place. The story continued after Jason Bourne helped to destroy The Fraternity.
This time his enemies were the remaining members of Treadstone and the CIA itself. Jason Bourne was a dangerous variable they didn’t want to let go. They had to kill him before he revealed secrets that could endanger the CIA.
Jason and Marie tried their best to evade them, but sometimes life was hard. Marie died, shot by a sniper, and their car crashed into a river.
Jason tried to save Marie, but it was too late… He had no choice but to leave the woman he loved deep in the river.
Marie was the only thing that brought joy to his life, and now she was gone. He escaped and survived, but his heart didn’t.
