Hollywood What If Chapter 141
"You look good in that suit, sir."
Erica Mendez praised Kazir.
"I don't like makeup on my face, but I guess I have no choice."
Kazir hired a professional designer. The time was hectic, so the suit he wore was made in three days. As for his appearance, he was given a light touch-up to make sure his face didn't look oily on camera.
'I'm not one of the presenters and I'm just a regular guest.'
But the cameras in the room were everywhere, ready to capture their expressions. At least Kazir had to be prepared. There was no harm in that.
"Erica, you can go now. I'll take care of myself."
"Yes, sir."
Kazir Grey was the type who preferred to be alone. As a mature old man who had gone back in time, he didn't like too much interaction.
'I am always alone in my past life, and I carried that trait with me even now.'
Some things were hard to change.
After thanking the designer and Erica, he said goodbye.
As he walked out of the building, a limousine was waiting for him. Salvatore arrived in a limousine.
"Looks like you're getting rich." Kazir grinned.
"Don't joke. I'm just renting this car, so don't scratch it."
"Of course."
Kazir got into the limousine. It would be embarrassing if he showed up at the Shrine Auditorium in a bumpy car.
"Tch, you have millions in your bank account! Why don't you buy yourself a luxury car?"
If Salvatore Barlowe made 7 figures last year, Kazir Grey made 8 figures. The difference was astronomical. Furthermore, Grey Pictures' profit for the last 8 months was over $100 million.
"Meh, my Honda works fine. Why do I need to buy another one?"
Kazir shrugged and found it pointless. He didn't like luxury cars in the first place, especially Ferraris.
'I can't customize a Ferrari car, so it's garbage.'
His opinion about cars might be incomplete.
"Kazir, I have a suggestion. Try to contact the important members of the Academy. They can help you."
"I know."
The members of the Academy are old men from the old era of Hollywood. Because of their age, they have made many connections.
Another thing to note was that the higher-ups of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science (MPAS) are mostly Jews. It was related to the migration back in World War 2, Jews gradually set their roots in Hollywood and some sectors of the US.
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"Of course Salvatore, if there's a chance I'll talk to them."
Just like that, they reached the Shrine Auditorium. The arrival of the actors was arranged, and Kazir's limousine was the 22nd car to arrive.
As usual, Kazir Grey walked the red carpet, waved, posed for cameras and was interviewed by an ABC reporter. Standard procedure.
"Our most handsome director, Kazir Grey! Where is the muse of our handsome director?"
This time the reporter was a flirtatious woman. She was wearing a red dress, her cleavage was quite obvious because she has massive ahem--!
Anyway, Kazir Grey was already a famous director, and many actresses tried to seduce him. Most of the time he attended parties and movie premieres alone. Only Reese Witherspoon was the woman who could be his partner.
Well, many women tried to break this record. Hollywood was a place where beauties were everywhere. If Kazir Grey is a real man, the time will come when he will have a relationship with another woman.
"I'm single, so I think I'm allowed to go to the Oscars with myself."
The reporter giggled and slipped her contact number into his pocket. Kazir kept his smile on, but he didn't like it at all.
"Are you confident that you will win Best Screenplay? And who do you think will win if you're not sure about yourself?"
"I watched Goodwill Hunting and I like it."
"Aha. So you think Matt Damon will get the award."
"Honestly, I want to win." He laughed.
Taken was nominated for Best Screenplay, and since Kazir Grey was the screenwriter, the honor was his.
He knew his biggest enemy was Matt Damon, who wrote Goodwill Hunting.
'Besides, Matt Damon might become Jason Bourne, so I can't make any trouble.'
Everybody knows that Matt Damon is Jason Bourne. Even though Matt Damon was young, he was Kazir's first choice to play Jason Bourne.
'Anyway, it's just a screenplay. What I want is the Best Director statue.'
"I think this is James Cameron's year. I saw Titanic and I cried a lot."
Kazir Grey excused himself and entered the auditorium. The place was already half full and the program would start once everyone was inside.
Titanic received 14 nominations. They have a good chance to win more than half of the 14 nominations.
'One thing is for sure... James Cameron is going to win Best Director this year. It's a good thing I don't have a nomination, otherwise it would be useless against him.'
No one could stop the Titanic trend. Not even Kazir Grey.
Kazir Grey looked around and found the Taken section. Liam Neeson and the rest of the Taken cast were waiting for him. He even found the little brat named Scarlett Johansson.
"You're late."
"I'm not free like you. I have so many things to do." Kazir replied to the little girl.
"Me too! I'm attending school! Humph!"
