Chapter 63

    The movie premiere of Twister was on May 10, 1996. Unlike Se7en, where Kazir didn''t have the right to go on the red carpet, Warner Bros was generous and gave him his first red carpet attendance.

    "Haaa, haahh..."

    "Reese, you need to calm down. This is not even our movie. We''re just guests."

    Kazir chuckled as he looked at the woman next to him. His partner on the red carpet was Reese Witherspoon.

    "Kazir, I''m wondering how you can be calm. This is different from attending a premiere in other countries. Napoleon Dynamite didn''t have a red carpet premiere in the US. Now, there are hundreds of reporters from different newspapers to take our pictures. I''m afraid I''m going to make a scene."

    "I just feel like there''s no reason to be nervous."

    "You silly..."

    She sighed. What did she expect from a man who didn''t even react to the scolding of the Children''s Association? Kazir had a strong control over his emotions.

    ''Sometimes I wonder if he should be an actor instead.''

    She thought.

    "Trust me. Nothing bad will happen."

    Kazir took her hand and squeezed it.

    "Thank you."

    She didn''t regret choosing Kazir. The man in front of her was much more mature. He was not easily frightened, as if he had experienced the worst.

    ''Sometimes I wonder how broken he is to be unaffected like this.''

    "We''re here."

    The limousine stopped in front of the theater. The two stepped out, greeted by hundreds of camera flashes.

    Kazir and Reese kept their smiles on and walked ahead.

    Then they stopped at a checkpoint where reporters could take pictures of them.

    Then the coordinator signaled them to move on.

    Usually there were coordinators at this kind of event.

    This time, the two stopped at the checkpoint where reporters could interview them.

    Warner Bros had already contacted a reporter to interview Kazir.

    "Director Grey, what do you think about Twister?"

    "It''s nice to meet you too, Tom. I heard your movie is coming out in May."

    The two shook hands.

    "Paramount has already started promoting it. The shooting was actually quite difficult. Fortunately, I have a stunt double to do most of the dangerous stunts."

    Famous actors would always have insurance. Of course, insurance companies would never let actors participate in dangerous stunts.

    "I want to invite you to see Mission: Impossible."

    "I''ll be there for sure."

    After that, more actors began to greet Kazir and Reese. To be honest, the actors were interested in Kazir.

    Now that Kazir had become a rising director, many actors wanted to contact him in the hope of working with him.

    Enrico Pusi and Terry Semel also greeted him.

    A few minutes later Twister started. The movie cost $88 million plus $4 million for publicity.

    It starred Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. The movie was about a tornado that destroyed everything in its path.

    The movie was interesting. Reese Witherspoon and Kazir Grey had fun watching the movie.

    ......

    ...

    ...

    In the first three days of Twister, it earned $41.05 million. This meant that the movie was successful.

    It defeated its rival in its first weekend and became the box office champion of the week.

    While Warner Bros did follow-up advertising for Twister, Kazir Grey spent most of his time in the editing room with Brody Hamilton.

    "If we keep this pace, we can finish post-production in June."

    Brody had a keen sense of such things.

    Kazir agreed with Brody Hamilton.

    Unfortunately, while Kazir was busy with the post-production of The Hangover, rumors began to circulate in Hollywood.

    It was said that there was a certain director who beat his wife out of depression...
