Chapter 373

    Kazir looked at the woman who was staring at him. The woman seemed pretty but her job was clearly tiring because of dark eye bags under her eyes.

    She was a bit chubby. Grumpy from the moment she set her eyes on Kazir.

    The cup noodles, Doritos, and Pepsi were still not getting scanned by the glaring cashier. @@@@

    "Um... Excuse me miss, but do I even know you? Can you please scan my order because I have something to do?"

    Kazir said to the woman. Truthfully, he had no idea why this cashier was acting like this.

    "Humph! Don''t act like you don''t know me. I know that the reason why you''re here is that you want to meet me. Tell me, you''re still not over me, right? Well... If you court me, maybe I can give you a chance this time."

    "..."

    ''Delusional. This woman is a big delulu.''

    Kazir thought to himself.

    He just wanted to buy a cup of noodles for God''s sake!

    ''If I knew this would happen, I would have asked someone to buy me food instead. I want to walk to relax my mind since I''ve been in the studio for the whole day...''

    "I don''t know you, I repeat, I don''t know you. Just please scan my order so I can leave." He was serious.

    "Tch, acting like a clueless guy. Okay fine, I''ll play with you. My name is Wendy Mandeville. I''m sure you know me now."

    The cashier grumbled and scanned the noodles, Doritos, and Pepsi. It was 7 dollars and 26 cents.

    "Wendy... Wendy Mandeville..."

    He narrowed his gaze, staring at the woman. He was trying to remember the name.

    "Keep the change."

    He waved his hand and walked away, holding his cup of noodles, Doritos, and Pepsi... He forgot to get hot water for his noodles. He only remembered it when he returned to the studio.

    2003 was going to end and Hollywood already compiled the top 10 biggest movies this year.

    But of course, this ranking was still not concluded since some movies were still going to be released in the last two weeks of December. For example, The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The Kings.

    This movie was one of the most anticipated movies this year. This was the last movie of the trilogy and everyone was excited to watch it!

    While that was happening, Forbes already published the list of the top 10 highest-grossing movies this year.

    1.) Finding Nemo. A movie produced by Pixar. A subsidiary of Walt Disney. This movie grossed more than $871 million worldwide. Because of the continuous success of 3D animation in Hollywood, other studios also adapted their own 3D animation studios to get some slices of this golden cake called the animation industry.

    2.) Wanted 2. A sequel to a $1 billion movie. Wanted 2 was produced by Grey Pictures and distributed by 20th Century Fox. Fans admitted that Wanted 2 was lackluster compared to its prequel but it was still entertaining in the end. The movie already grossed more than $745 million worldwide after four months of screening, and this amount was still increasing. Some speculate that Wanted 2 could surpass Nemo. But the idea of exceeding $1 billion might be difficult for Wanted 2.

    3.) The Matrix Reloaded. The second installment of The Matrix franchise... It was disappointing overall. The box office was saved by the hype. Unfortunately, its third movie which was the last movie of the trilogy had a lower box office and the reason was obvious.

    4.) Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl. Directed by none other than Kazir Grey. A new franchise that had a possibility to be profitable, especially in the hands of Kazir Grey and Johnny Depp. This movie grossed $654 million at the worldwide box office. Proving that Kazir''s had the Midas''s touch.

    5.) The Equalizer. Another movie from Grey Pictures, and a new franchise from Continental Cinematic Universe. Starring Denzel Washington, this movie caught the interest of CCU fans. Giving it $481 million at the box office.

    The top 5 this year, 3 of the spots were acquired by Grey Pictures. This showed how powerful this studio was getting by.
