Hollywood What If Chapter 255
November was a busy month for Hollywood. A lot of good movies were released this month.
Unbreakable, Rugrats In Paris, How The Grinch Stole Christmas and Charlie's Angels.
These were the movies that did well this month.
There was also other Hollywood gossip.
-- Harrison Ford confirms that he and his wife, screenwriter Melissa Mathison, are separated.
-- Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones get married in an extravagant ceremony in New York City.
-- Robert Downey Jr. is arrested in Palm Springs, California, for possession of cocaine and methamphetamine.
-- Wanted grosses over $1 billion at the worldwide box office. It becomes the fourth film in the history of cinema to surpass $1 billion.
A lot of news about Hollywood celebrities surfaced. Most people loved to hear gossip, so they focused more on celebrities.
But it was different for Hollywood companies. They didn't care much about the lives of celebrities. They were more shocked by the fact that Wanted surpassed $1 billion in almost 6 months after its release.
"Let's see, the critics' opinions are complicated. Some complained that the public's taste was appalling because Wanted was nothing but a circus with no substance. While others praised it for being ambitious by casting the protagonists of the previous films related to the Continental Cinematic Universe."
Angelina Jolie read the paper while waiting for her boyfriend. Stuff about celebrities was nothing new to her. She knew that being an actress cost her privacy. In fact, she had been a target of the media when she was a drug addict. Her past was something she could not be proud of.
She turned the next page and frowned when she saw an article about the cast of Charlie's Angels.
-- Charlie's Angels stars Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu get the royal treatment as they dine with Prince Charles at St. James Palace in London. The dinner followed the London opening of the blockbuster, which benefited one of the prince's charities. The other Angel, Cameron Diaz, was filming an upcoming movie and was unable to attend the soiree.
Angelina didn't like Kazir's exes for obvious reasons. The fact that some women had a taste of her man didn't sit well with her.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
Three weeks had passed since the premiere of Charlie's Angels and the box office was doing well.
The movie earned 93.25 million dollars. The performance of Charlie's Angels made the Big Six realize that actresses had a chance in the action genre. The three actresses were the protagonists of the movie and it was done right.
Usually when an actress is the protagonist in an action movie, it doesn't end well.
'I guess that is why Paramount Pictures invited me to audition for Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.'
She thought. She talked to Kazir about the project, knowing that Kazir had the eyes to tell if a script was good or bad. Kazir said the script was promising and she should go for it. Besides, the salary Paramount was offering her was quite generous.
In this industry, actresses were usually paid less than actors. Only a few actresses had the ability to demand huge salaries, such as Julia Roberts, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jodie Foster, and Winona Ryder. These women were the most famous actresses of the 90s.
A few minutes later, Angelina heard someone approaching and turned around. She saw Kazir and ran to give him a hug.
"I miss you."
"Angelina, we just met earlier." The man chuckled. He had a gift bag in his hand.
"Yes, and I miss you."
"Let's go to my house. I'm going to cook to celebrate the success of Wanted."
Angelina was a little surprised that Kazir wanted to go to the newly renovated house instead of the usual office. Maybe Wanted made him happy.
Kazir took her hand and led her to the parking lot.
"Now that Wanted is a huge success, Grey Pictures is having a celebration party in December."
"I'm part of the cast, so of course I will be there," Angelina replied.
With more than $300 million in his bank account, Kazir had no idea what to do with it, so he decided to buy a nice car. Yes, goodbye to his Honda.
The couple got into a black Mercedes-Benz.
"By the way, what's with the gift bag?"
"Oh, this?"
Kazir handed the bag to Angelina to have a look.
"Can I open it?" Angelina found a small box inside the bag.
"Of course."
The actress opened the box and found a brand new watch. It was a Hamilton watch.
"Nice, who gave you this watch?"
"It's from Kirsten. She gave it to me when she found out that Wanted had passed the $1 billion mark."
"Kirsten... Kirsten Dunst?"
"That's right."
For a second, Angelina's eyes went dark before they returned to normal. She smiled and put the watch back in its box. She placed the gift in the backseat.
Then she leaned closer to Kazir and gave him a sloppy kiss. They stayed like that for a few seconds.
"Before you cook, how about we have some fun, huh?"
"I'd be crazy to say no. We are talking about the sexy Angelina Jolie."
"Geez, Kazir. I thought you were not a playboy. How can you say something so cheesy?"
Despite her embarrassment, Angelina felt ticklish that her man was so nice to her.
'Sometimes I feel that Kazir is very clueless. This Kirsten woman might have some impure intentions for him.' She thought while licking her lips.
If there was one thing she was grateful for, it was the fact that Kazir never flirted on the set. He was strict with himself and his actors. She knew this firsthand because when they shot a kissing scene between her and Ben Affleck, Kazir never showed any discomfort.
That Kirsten Dunst would have a hard time seducing a man like Kazir. Even Angelina took so many shots just to seduce the man.
