Chapter 191
Billy and Wace nodded in agreement as they looked at each other wearing tuxedos. After watching John Wick, the two decided to form a group that would be loyal to Kazir Grey''s movies. Their intention was simple, they just wanted to find people to talk to about Kazir''s movies.
They visited IMDb and Yahoo and realized that they were not the only people who were in love with Kazir''s filmography. Especially on IMDb, they found so many avid fans who supported the movies.
Then these people slowly formed and some of them created a website for them to talk about Kazir''s movies.
Since The Bourne Identity, Kazir''s uing movie, was about to be released. The group decided to meet and watch the movie together. Many of them were excited.
Billy and Wace said that to make things interesting, they should wear simr clothes. They chose a suit that looked like John Wick. Having a ck suit was not that new, but having a group of people wearing the same outfit was definitely eye-catching.
Some of them were literally cosying John Wick, with shoulder-length hair and a beard. From a distance, they resemble John Wick quite a bit.
This group of John Wick, men and women, were waiting for the premiere of The Bourne Identity. The moviegoers couldn''t help but look at them, and the Grey fans were happy to see their reactions.
......
......
At the other theater, Regal Cinema in Los Angeles, the red carpet was already rolled out and people were excited.
Most of the people attending the premiere were Sony-Columbia executives, the Grey Pictures crew, film critics and the lucky fans who got tickets.
The actors and important people walked on the red carpet and photographers started to take pictures of them.
Some actors rted to the Continental Cinematic Universe attended the premiere. Even the protagonists of thest two movies were there.
Liam Neeson smiled and kept hisposure under the eyes of many people. After the sess of Taken and winning the Best Actor award, Liam Neeson''s life improved and almost everyone knew him.
Now he was no longer known as "the guy in Schindler''s List". He was recognized as Liam Neeson, the actor.
After him came the appearance of Viggo Mortensen. It was none other than John Wick.
Even though Viggo Mortensen didn''t be super famous after John Wick, his status was much better. Back then, almost no one knew about him.
But now some people would look at him and call him John Wick, and some of them would ask for autographs. That was the moment Viggo Mortensen knew he had made it.
The production of The Lord Of The Rings was still going on and he spent most of his time in New Zend. The production of The Lord Of The Rings was actually longer than that of John Wick, which onlysted three months.
Maybe the difference in genre was one of the reasons. The preparation for The Lord Of The Rings was moreplicated than John Wick.
Another factor was Kazir Grey''s shooting style. His crew was consistent and they could finish a scene very quickly. He knew what he wanted to shoot, so there was no waste in the middle.
The two protagonists were invited because of their roles. Taken 2 would be released in November or December of this year, and attending the premiere of The Bourne Identity was also a kind of promotion for Liam Neeson.
Almost the entire cast of The Bourne Identity attended the premiere.
Thest people to walk the red carpet were none other than Robert Ludlum and his son. The author of the Jason Bourne series.
Sony-Columbia and Grey Pictures agreed to promote the movie with nostalgia. They remind people that the movie is based on bestselling books from the 80s.
Of course, they also used Robert Ludlum as a means of publicity. Even though Robert Ludlum was old, he did his best to participate in the movie. He felt young again.
Robert Ludlum felt the excitement of the people around him as he waved his hands. It seemed the publicity had been worth it, at least people knew about him.
When Robert Ludlum entered the theater, he found Kazir Grey sitting next to Cameron Diaz.
"Director Grey, I want to express my sincere gratitude. Thank you for making my dreame true."
"My pleasure, I''m d you gave me the chance to direct this movie."
Kazir replied. He knew the profitability of this franchise and was happy to have acquired it.
"I believe this movie will be a sess."
"Indeed."
The two agreed. They were confident about the movie.
Robert Ludlum saw the movie before the premiere. It was a small screening where people from Sony-Columbia watched the movie to determine the strength of the movie. They woulde up with a promotional n after they saw the movie. Robert Ludlum watched the small screening with his family.
He was happy and satisfied as he watched. Of course, he was skeptical about another part of the plot. Fortunately, he had seen Taken and John Wick, so he had an idea about Kazir''s intentions.
It was written in the contract that Robert Ludlum would let the director choose the plot as long as the character of Jason Bourne was not bamboozled. Of course, the script had to be approved by him, the creator of Jason Bourne.
He was the executive producer of the movie, although his presence wasn''t strong because he was already old and couldn''t participate that much. Even though he was not active, Grey Pictures still paid him a sry of $300 thousand.
On top of that, Robert Ludlum would get a 3% cut of the revenues of The Bourne Identity, from the box office to the peripherals.
