Hollywood What If Chapter 486
"Henry, your accent is showing. Repeat that line again."
Henry Cavill nodded and looked at Megan Fox. He grabbed her shoulders and shook her to calm her down. Megan was screaming after what she experienced. She saw an illusion where she was tied to a bed while the doctors experimented on her body.
"You're doing great." Kazir nodded and gave it a passing mark. Three days from now, they would start the filming.
Everest and Kazir's trusted friend, Renner Hector, found a filming location where they could shoot the movie. It was a real abandoned mental hospital in Ohio. Ohio had some crazy stuff going on, or so the internet and memes stated.
The production crew had already talked to the municipality, and they agreed. They just hoped that the crew wouldn't make a ruckus, as the mental hospital was near the woods and could possibly start a fire if the crew made mistakes with their props. Also, the mayor wanted an autograph from Kazir.
Kazir looked at the script... He was nervous and excited at the same time. He was afraid that this movie might fail, which could cause his extreme depression. It would prove that he had no real talent as a director and that the only reason why he was successful was because of the plagiarizing he did.
'If that happens... I might kill myself.' He joked. He was mature enough to overcome this kind of challenge. However, he knew that his mentality would be affected if this original script indeed failed.
He glanced at the four actors. This movie was a small project, and these were the only important characters in the movie. The others were just background characters that Kazir could hire at any moment.
He clapped his hands and announced that the practice for the day was over.
"I can see that all of you have potential. I believe your career in Hollywood will be amazing."
Knowing the future, these four actors made names for themselves.
When the four heard Kazir's praise, they couldn't help but smile. It meant that the director could see a future where they became famous celebrities.
To be fair, they were kind of celebrities lately. The fact that they got hired to be part of Director Grey's horror movie qualified them to be celebrities.
Even though this was only a small-budget horror movie, almost everyone in Hollywood became interested in it. It was because of the simple fact that the director of this small-budget horror movie was Director Grey. It gained a lot of attention.
Furthermore, Kazir even said to his agent that he wanted to sell this movie to a studio!
It meant that Kazir planned to let go of these copyrights and let another studio take care of the franchise... If there was a franchise.
Well, Kazir's scripts usually had a sequel or two, so this horror movie could probably have a sequel. Perhaps?
This news immediately shook Hollywood. Salvatore received so many phone calls from people.
As for the intention behind why Kazir did that, he was the only one who knew the answer.
Kazir wanted to sell the copyrights because he treated Shadows Beneath as his first real business deal in Hollywood after so many years. Back in his past life, he also sold his movies to other studios and platforms, such as Netflix, to make money... Let's just say Kazir wanted to experience that kind of transaction. He probably missed it.

"This place is scary..."
Scarlett Johansson frowned as she stepped into the woods. A couple of meters into the woods, she found an old abandoned mental hospital. The place was so eerie that it gave her the chills.
If not for the tents in front of the building, Scarlett might have turned around and left the place. She was wearing a thick jacket and a bonnet.
She was done with her job and had free time to visit her boyfriend. As she got closer, she saw Kazir talking to a beautiful woman. The woman was hot and sexy, and her eyes were playfully gazing at Kazir.
'If I remember it right, that actress is only two years younger than me.'
Scarlett raised her brow. This was not the first time this kind of thing happened.
Despite having a bombshell of a woman next to him, Kazir kept talking as if he didn't care at all. He gave his opinion, and the actress left with a hint of disappointment in her eyes. It was hard not to be attracted to a tall, mature guy who had a successful career.
In Hollywood, most of the actresses treated Kazir as the peak of masculinity because the director almost checked all of their preferences for a man. In fact, Kazir was featured in a magazine as the hottest man of 2007. It might not be an exaggeration if people fapped to his pictures...
Tall, handsome, mature/older, billionaire, hot, and ahem, had a huge manhood. The last description was just rumors circling around, but there is no smoke if there's no fire.
Scarlett chuckled when she witnessed the whole scene. She found it funny that the actress tried to flirt with Kazir, but she was left disappointed instead.
Scarlett got closer until Kazir saw her. The man stopped the filming and announced an hour break and approached Scarlett.
The woman saw how the man's expression turned happy and excited to meet her.
"I have a nice and cozy trailer. Let me make you a hot chocolate."
He gently took her purse and carried it. He then leaned closer and kissed her.
"Thanks, babe." Scarlett giggled and hugged Kazir's arm as they walked to the trailer.
The crew was a bit surprised as they witnessed how Kazir transitioned from being stoic and serious to having a smile on his face. Most of the time, they rarely got to see him smile.
