Hollywood What If Chapter 255
November was quite busy for Hollywood. A lot of good movies were released in this month.
Unbreakable, Rugrats In Paris, How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Charlie's Angels.
These were the movies that performed well in this month.
Aside from that, there were other Hollywood gossip as well.
-- Harrison Ford confirms that he and his wife, screenwriter Melissa Mathison, have separated.
-- Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones marry in an extravagant New York City ceremony.
-- Robert Downey Jr. is arrested in Palm Springs, Calif., on charges of possession of cocaine and methamphetamine.
-- Wanted grossed over $1 billion at the worldwide box office. Becoming the fourth movie that surpassed $1 billion in the history of cinema.
Many news about Hollywood celebrities surfaced. Most people loved hearing gossip so they focused more on celebrities.
But it was different for Hollywood companies. They didn't care much about the lives of celebrities. They were more shocked about the fact that Wanted surpassed $1 billion in almost 6 months of its release.
"Let's see, the opinions of the critics are complicated. Some complained that the taste of the audience was appalling because Wanted was nothing but a circus with no substance. While others praised it for being ambitious by casting the protagonists of the prior movies related to Continental Cinematic Universe."
Angelina Jolie read the newspaper while waiting for her boyfriend. Stuff about celebrities was nothing new to her. She knew that being an actress would cost her her privacy. In fact, she was also a target of media back when she was addicted to drugs. Her past was something that she could not be proud of.
She turned the next page and frowned when she saw an article about the cast of Charlie's Angels.
-- Charlie's Angels Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu receive the royal treatment when they dine with Prince Charles at St. James Palace in London. The power dinner followed the London opening of the blockbuster, which benefited one of the prince's charities. The other angel, Cameron Diaz, was filming an upcoming movie and was not able to attend the soiree.
Angelina didn't like Kazir's exes for obvious reasons. The fact that some women had a taste of her man didn't sit well with her.
Three weeks already passed after the premier of Charlie's Angels and its box office was doing well.
The movie grossed $93.25 million. The performance of Charlie's Angels made the Big Six realize that actresses had a chance in the action genre. The three actresses were the protagonists of the movie and was done right.
Usually, an actress being the protagonist in an action movie doesn't have a good outcome.
'I guess this is the reason why Paramount Pictures invited me to audition for Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.'
She thought. She talked to Kazir about this project, she knew that Kazir had the eyes to distinguish if a script was good or bad. Kazir said that the script was promising and she should go for it. Besides, the salary that Paramount offered her was quite generous.
In this industry, actresses normally had smaller salaries than the actors. Only a few actresses had the capability to ask for huge salaries such as Julia Roberts, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jodie Foster, and Winona Ryder. These women were the most famous actresses of the 90s.
A few minutes later, Angelina heard someone approaching and she turned around. She saw Kazir and ran to his embrace.
"I miss you."
"Angelina, we just met earlier." The man chuckled. He had a gift bag in his hand.
"Yes, and I miss you."
"Let's go to my house. I'm going to cook to celebrate the success of Wanted."
Angelina was slightly surprised that Kazir wanted to go to the newly renovated house instead of the usual office. Perhaps Wanted made him happy.
Kazir held her hand and led her to the parking lot.
"Now that Wanted is a massive success, Grey Pictures will have a celebration party in December."
"I'm part of the cast so of course I will be there," Angelina replied.
After having more than $300 million in his bank account, Kazir had no idea where to spend it so he decided to buy a nice car. Yup, goodbye to his Honda.
The couple entered a black Mercedes-Benz.
"By the way, what's with the gift bag?"
"Oh this?"
Kazir passed the bag to Angelina to let the woman have a look.
"Can I open it?" Angelina found a small box in the bag.
"Of course."
The actress opened the box and found a brand-new watch. It was a Hamilton watch.
"Nice, so who gave you this watch?"
"It's from Kirsten. She gave that to me when she found that Wanted surpassed $1 billion."
"Kirsten... Kirsten Dunst?"
"That's right."
For a second, Angelina's eyes turned dark before they returned to normal. She smiled and put the watch back in the box. She put the gift in the back seat.
She then leaned closer to Kazir and gave the man a sloppy kiss. The two stayed for that for a few seconds.
"Before you cook, how about we have some fun, hm?"
"I'm a crazy guy if I said no to that. We are talking about the sexy Angelina Jolie here."
"Geez, Kazir. I thought you were not a playboy. How can you say something cheesy like that?"
Despite being embarrassed, Angelina felt ticklish that her man was so nice to her.
'Sometimes I feel that Kazir is very clueless. That Kirsten woman might have an impure intention for him.'
If there was something she was thankful for, it was the fact that Kazir never flirted on set. He was strict to himself and his cast. She knew it firsthand because when they shot a kissing scene between her and Ben Affleck, Kazir never showed any discomfort.
This Kirsten Dunst would have a hard time seducing a man like Kazir. Even Angelina took so many shots just to seduce the man.
