Hollywood What If
Chapter 376
Chapter 376
Tobey Maguire was an actor. That was his profession and he liked it. Not only did it give him fame, but the salary was also abundant.
He had been friends with Leonardo DiCaprio since their teenage years. In fact, Leonardo helped him get the role of Peter Parker.
Of course Tobey was happy to be part of this huge project, especially when the director was Kazir Grey. It basically confirmed that the movie would be successful.
And indeed it was. After the release of Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire became a super famous actor in just one night.
He realized how amazing being a famous actor could be... He felt like a God, where people gave him gazes filled with worship.
This time, Director Grey personally asked him to film a surprise gift for a kid. Tobey had an idea that this was another method of advertising and he had to do it. He was bound by the contract.
His intention was simple and he had no deep or serious feeling about it. This was just a job for him.
But when he entered the hospital room and saw a young boy, pale and thin, Tobey couldn''t help but be affected.
He suddenly realized that his role as Peter Parker/ Spider-Man was important to the heart of this young boy and other children.
The young boy started crying and hugged Tobey Maguire despite being weak.
Tobey smiled and rubbed the boy''s back. The boy''s parents couldn''t help but shed tears as they witnessed the wholesome moment.
Tobey glanced at the cameraman-- Kazir Grey.
The director was the one who was holding the camera, capturing this very moment.
Tobey understood that this was nothing but a way to promote their upcoming movie. But he realized that it was not that simple at all.
To these kids, he was their hero. Someone they look up to.
''With great power comes great responsibility.''
He suddenly remembered that certain line from the movie.
The parents couldn''t help but cry as they watched their son.
Tobey didn''t treat this as a job, he wanted to be sincere.
The two started talking and Tobey made sure that the kid was entertained.
After that, the crew gave the family a $100 thousand cheque for the treatment of the kid. This came from the movie''s promotion budget.
Kazir and Tobey came out of the hospital.
"Kazir... I think my role as Spider-Man is not that simple at all."
"It''s a difficult role." Kazir agreed.
The two were waiting for their car to arrive.
So now, Kazir was helping Jon in the barbeque stand. The two started talking about their experiences in the industry... Despite the difference in ages, the two had a great conversation.
As for Angelina, she was happy seeing the two men bond... Although she couldn''t help but think about the message she received last night.
It had been bugging her since morning and she couldn''t forget it. She glanced at Kazir, with a complicated gaze.
She did her best and hid her emotions while spending the night in her father''s place.
Yet despite that, it seemed that her acting could not escape a director''s eyes.
"Did something happen in your job? You look like you''re thinking about something."
Kazir asked Angelina while on the highway. He was looking ahead but his voice was filled with concern.
Angelina was a bit surprised but she controlled her expression.
"I''m fine. I''m just a bit tired."
"Hm, just contact me if you need help."
"I will."
She smiled and kissed him on the cheek. Making the director laugh.
"Easy easy. You know that I''m driving."
"Well... How about we stop at a hotel? I''m also fine doing it inside the car."
She giggled.
"..."
Kazir chuckled and didn''t know what to say.

[Author''s Note: I''m bored so here''s my top 5 Anime that deserves a remake. Tell me your opinion about it.]
1.) Tokyo Ghoul- Probably the most popular anime in the 2013 and 2014 era. Season 1 is amazing and the opening is one of the best anime openings out there. Unfortunately, Season 2 is a terrible adaptation. The changes are massive and quite painful to watch. It didn''t help that season 3 and season 4 cut a lot of scenes. In my opinion, Tokyo Ghoul deserves a remake that follow the source material. I''m a fan so it''s quite painful to see this series getting sabotaged very badly.
2.) Soul Eater- The anime is amazing, but it didn''t follow the source material especially in the latter part. Anyway, Soul Eater will probably have a remake since Fire Force is the prequel to Soul Eater.
3.) Pandora''s Heart- The manga is a Masterpiece. But the anime failed to capture it''s moment, especially the last episode. Man, Pandora''s Heart is an underrated manga. I recommend it. People who read the manga understand why this manga is underrated and a masterpiece. Unfortunately, Pandora''s Heart will never have a remake since it''s not popular.
4.) Berserk- Well, people said that you should read the manga instead of watching it and I understand why. But if Berserk gets a remake that follows the source material, the bandwagon will go crazy, count me in.
5.) The Promised Neverland- Season 2 is amazing, but Season 2 is a dogshit. They should have stayed loyal to the source material. I''m still mad about it.
