Hollywood What If
Chapter 100
Chapter 100
[Author''s note: 100 chapters? Let''s go...! I would like to thank everyone who supports this novel. Also, I want to apologize to everyone who sees my shortcomings. Thanks guys, I''ll try to do better.]
Kazir faced the reporters. He knew that most of their questions were shitty and mostly meant to annoy him.
They wanted to see Kazir make a scene. Unfortunately, Kazir answered their questions without showing any nervousness or anger. It was as if he was not afraid of the media.
''The media can make trouble and spread rumors, I''ll concentrate on my job instead. I have to make sure that Taken is successful.''
After Kazir entertained the reporters and paparazzi, he left the set.
They changed their location to shoot indoor scenes instead. They adjusted their schedule just to hide from the media.
"Are you okay?"
Kazir saw Scarlett with teary eyes. It seemed that she cried a lot, judging by her red eyes.
"It''s a good thing you don''t have a scene today. The make-up artist will have a hard time hiding your swollen eyes."
"Kazir, you are being rude!"
"I know."
Scarlett glared at him. But in the end, she sulked. She knew that Kazir had protected her earlier.
"Thanks." She said and looked away.
"You should keep being a sweet little girl so people will treat you better."
"I''ll try."
"Anyway, why are you here? You should be at the hotel right now, learning from your tutor. The paparazzi don''t care about people''s privacy, so you shouldn''t be around them."
"I went to visit Paul."
"Paul? Are you talking about Paul Arker? The driver who was injured?" Kazir was confused.
"That''s right. Paul is a nice guy and he likes action movies. I heard he wanted to be an action star, but his short height is a problem."
"..."
Kazir didn''t expect that Scarlett was actually close to the driver.
''Well, this brat has a good relationship with the film crew. She respects them... I wonder why she keeps bothering me?''
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Miss Tutor, please take care of Scarlett."
"Y- Yes, Director Grey."
"By the way, stay away from the Children''s Association."
"Y- Yes?"
Kazir didn''t bother to explain. He watched as Scarlett got into the car and left.
''Accidents like this happen all the time, but this one attracted a lot of attention... Unless...''
Suddenly his phone rang and the caller was Agent Salvatore Barlowe.
"Salvatore... What did you find?"
Kazir''s voice was cold and heavy.
[Three letters, WMA.]
Salvatore''s voice was static, but Kazir understood enough.
As expected, this particular agency was still bitter about the mistake they had made.
WMA had a lot of influence in the media, and they could make trouble to Kazir.
"You know what to do."
[I understand. It''s good that only one stuntman was injured. It could be problematic if an actor was injured. This kind of thing is easy for the CAA. Three days, the news about this will disappear within three days.]
Salvatore Barlowe had a strong voice at CAA after The Hangover. He had enough clout to talk to the PR team and influence this matter.
"Hm, that''s good to hear." Kazir nodded.
[However, now that your filming has attracted attention, some reporters will keep track of you and follow you].
"I will take care of it. As long as they can promise to sign a non-disclosure agreement, I will let them join the film crew. It could be good for us too."
At least they got free publicity. They didn''t have to bother paying money to the news stations and news publishers.
All they have to do is change the minds of the masses.
A few days later, Paul, the driver, showed his face to the media. He announced that the film crew was not to blame and thanked Director Grey instead. As a result, the news about the matter quickly died down.
