Hollywood What If Chapter 94

Liam Neeson was insured, of course. Because of his profession, the insurance company had to make sure he was safe in every project he took on.

So all the dangerous stunts had to be done by his stunt double. It was a no-brainer. There were many actors who said they didn't use a stunt double, and most of them were lying... Unless it was Jackie Chan or Jet Lee. Those actors had different contracts.

But even Liam Neeson had to do some of the stunts. He just has to show his face. To make it look like he was the one doing the stunts. So his stunt double had to resemble him in height and weight.

"The cameras are all set!"

"The actors are all ready."

They shouted, since they were far apart.

Kazir switched on the megaphone and said.

"Start shooting!"

"Lights Camera Action!"

With cameras from different angles, Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) started running to the bridge. Bryan Mills had to jump into the approaching private yacht to save his daughter. Once the yacht was under the bridge, Bryan Mills made a decision and jumped!

"Cut! Stop the yacht and call the double!" Kazir stopped the filming right before Liam Neeson actually jumped.

Just like Liam Neeson, his stunt double underwent three months of rigorous training. His training was harder than Liam Neeson's because he was the one responsible for the difficult stunts.

After a ten-minute break, filming resumed. This time with Liam's stunt double.

The yacht that was under the bridge started to move again. The stunt double jumped and then rolled safely onto the yacht.

"Cut! Another ten minute break!"

"Are we going to reshoot?"

Fremont whispered next to him.

"Let me see the clips first."

Kazir Grey touched his chin and studied the shots. It was perfect. Even Fremont thought there was no reason to reshoot.

The two nodded to each other. It was useless to reshoot, since they had already captured a good one.

"This is the first time I've worked with Kazir, but I can't believe how fast and precise his shots are. Usually the actors make many mistakes, but under Kazir's guidance, the actors are all calm and serious."

Liam Neeson murmured while sipping hot soup. It was late at night and very cold. Liam's personal assistant gave him a towel to keep him warm.

"I heard that director Grey has a vibe that makes actors improve their acting." The assistant said without any assurance. In the first place, she didn't know what she was saying.

"It's because the director has a long patience and he didn't shout much."

Enzo Park appeared.

"Our ninja is here!"

Liam Neeson teased the young Korean. They trained together and became friends.

"Tell me more about Director Grey," Liam said.

"I only worked with director Grey once and I realized one thing... I didn't feel any pressure or nervousness. That's why I easily passed my scenes even though I had a lot of NGs when I practiced."

Enzo Park was dressed in very elegant clothes, all black. As if he was melting into the darkness.

"I see..."

Liam Neeson touched his chin. This was only the second day, and Kazir Grey kept his patience. There were times when mistakes were made. Instead of getting angry, Kazir encouraged them.

Even Liam noticed that Kazir Grey boosted his confidence by telling him that he was doing a great job even though his performance was sometimes mediocre.

"Will my acting be bad now that I know his tricks?"

"Tricks? No, I think it's a talent. Director Grey has a talent for building someone's confidence. Director Grey knows the whole movie as if it's already finished in his mind. I think as long as you meet his qualifications, there will be no problem.

Enzo assured him.

"Thank you, but I didn't feel any encouragement at all." Liam Neeson chuckled.

The shooting started again.

This time, Bryan Mills had to fight the guards of a certain rich Middle Eastern man.

In the movie, Bryan Mills' daughter was bought at an illegal auction by a Middle Eastern man. Kazir just followed the original movie as closely as possible.

'The High Table from the franchise John Wick has a member of a Middle Eastern man. I think I can do something to connect the two.'

Kazir thought as he watched Bryan Mills defeat the bodyguards one by one on the screen. Of course, they are shooting the scenes one by one with breaks. This was not a real fight. They just have to make it realistic.

"Liam, this is an important part of the movie, no, of my whole plan. I hope you can show me a fierce and fearless man."

"Don't worry Kazir. We have practiced this many times."

.........

......

...

Bryan Mills was shot in the abdomen, but that didn't stop him. He beat the crap out of the bodyguards until he reached the master bedroom.

When he opened the door, he was greeted by the Middle Eastern man holding his daughter.

The man had a gun to his daughter's head.

Kim Mills (Scarlett Johansson) was terrified. She was confused and scared. Her father had just appeared and fought the bodyguards. She stared at her father with tears in her eyes.

"..."

Bryan Mills pointed the gun at the man.

A few seconds passed.

The man felt he was at a disadvantage. So he decided to bargain with Bryan Mills.

"... Let's negotiate...!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was shot in the chest.

He fell to the ground, blood flowing slowly.

"Y- You bastard! The High Table! Baba Yaga! They will all hunt you!"

The man shouted, spitting blood. He spoke in Arabic.

Suddenly, Bryan Mills kicked him in the chest and stared at him coldly.

"Then call them."

He replied in Arabic and shot him in the head.
