Chapter 210


    "Thank you, Director Grey!"


    Franklin Maxwell said goodbye with excitement. The smile on his face almost lit up the afternoon.


    He was a mid-level agent at the William Morris Agency, and his biggest client was Ondo Bloom, who had sessfullynded the role of Legs in Lord of the Rings.


    To be honest, he was still not sure about Ondo Bloom because epic novels with fantasy elements were very hard to replicate at this time. The future of Lord of the Rings was unclear. In addition, Franklin heard that the investment in the film was quite tight after Miramax passed the project on to New Line Cinema.


    So he decided to contact Kazir Grey and hope for the best. He knew the odds were against him, but Franklin Maxwell was an agent. People like him should have a shameless face.


    His first intention was to talk to Kazir Grey and hopefully convince him to cast Ondo Bloom as the protagonist of his new project. This would be a big break for a small actor like Ondo Bloom.


    His second n was to find a way to convince Director Grey to return to WMA and be his client. He honestly felt that this n would not work.


    However, never say never, he made a n and decided to use a beauty trap to lure the director... It didn''t work, but at least Kazir wasn''t averse to the idea.


    When Franklin Maxwell handed the contract to Kazir Grey, he suddenly realized that he was interested! Though it was small, he sensed that Kazir Grey was interested in the terms of the contract! ''I should talk to one of the vice presidents and convince him to agree to thest condition about sending a client to Kazir''s apartment to warm his bed every week! It''s a win-win situation for both sides.''


    Director Grey was the type of person who returned favors. The women who had rtionships with him over the years went on to have good careers.


    Reese Witherspoon.


    Brianna Evans.


    Cameron Diaz.


    Two of these women became his girlfriends... Um, his rtionship with Reese Witherspoon was unclear, but Franklin Maxwell got the gist of the story. In fact, he believed that Brianna Evans also had an affair with Kazir Grey.


    Any woman who wanted to reach the pinnacle of fame would never hesitate to do anything! This was the truth. Pride and dignity were rare in this industry full of liars.


    As he walked to the street, Franklin Maxwell could not help but imagine the future once Kazir Grey became his client! He didn''t care about themission.


    He had a way to get money once Kazir became his client. Not only that, he had so many ways to get bitches once Kazir Grey became his client!


    Hollywood. Thend of show business. Where truth and lies were so hard to distinguish.


    Kazir Grey sneered as he looked in the direction where WMA agent Franklin Maxwell was walking.


    ''He''s a fool if he thinks I''m interested in changing agencies. I want stability and CAA has given me that. There''s no reason to leave the agency, at least not now.''


    Grey Pictures was at a point where they needed stability. The project this time was very important and it would determine the destiny of Grey Pictures.


    There was only one movie that Grey Pictures would release the next year. It was none other than Wanted.


    Fremont Smith finished Taken 2 and he wanted to direct John Wick Chapter 2 as well.


    However, Fremont Smith was hoping to get at least four months off. Making a movie was very exhausting and stressful. He wanted to enjoy the sess he had before he started John Wick Chapter 2. The movie could be released in 2001.


    The sry that Fremont Smith got in thest project was $1.9 million. Less than the main actors. It was understandable because it was his first project. It was a miracle that he got this amount in the first ce since he was a newbie with no credentials.


    Fortunately for him, Grey Pictures was not that cheap and promised to give him another $1 million if Taken 2 made more than $200 million domestically, which had a good chance of happening. If not, Fremont Smith would get $200,000 instead.


    The average sry for men in 1999 was about $36,000 for a full-time job. But Fremont Smith got more than that in a single movie.


    It was true that making movies was a profitable business. Making bad movies was profitable, too, once the movie was released on the videotape market. And making adult movies was profitable, too...


    Anyway, people are visual creatures. They prefer to watch movies or TV shows rather than read or listen to the radio. As long as people consume the products produced by the media, movies will be profitable.


    Kazir found his car and got in. But someone knocked on the window next to him.


    Kazir turned to the window and the first thing he saw was a woman''s cleavage.


    The director frowned and opened the window slightly. He had no idea what was happening.


    "Hello Director Grey, I''m Jessica Alba! We met earlier."


    The woman greeted him with a bright, innocent smile. She was so cute that Kazir was stunned for a second before he could answer.


    "Hm, you''re the one from the room earlier, along with the other six people."


    "That''s right," Jessica Alba nodded and leaned closer to the window, giving Kazir a better view of her breasts... Kazir noticed that the woman was not wearing a bra.

    [I honestly thought you guys would choose Hale Berry or Jessica Chastain, but it seems more of you prefer Jessica Alba(The poll ended months ago on Patreon)].


    [One more thing, don''t take anything I said/wrote seriously. I''m just a simple Filipino guy who never had a good grade in English and Math when I was in school. Honestly, I didn''t even expect that I could actually write a novel. I just want you to have fun and be entertained by my stories. As for the next update, I have no idea when it will be...]
