Hollywood What If Chapter 96

For a young woman, it was impressive that she took this job seriously. She should be at the age where she should be playing and having fun.

But her determination and passion for acting was real. Kazir Grey saw it. Scarlett Johansson wasn't a professional yet, and she didn't have the explosive acting to grab everyone's attention. But she was certainly hardworking... If not for her mischievous side, Kazir might be impressed.

"... Let's go outside and talk about it."

"Yes, Brother Kazir."

"Honestly, I don't like calling me that. Why don't you stop and call me director Grey or just Kazir instead." He frowned. At first he let her do what she wanted because he didn't want to cause a trouble in the set.

However, being called brother was not normal in their society.

Scarlett Johansson paused.

"My parents said that connection is the best weapon in this industry. You're a director who has potential, so I want to call you brother. So brother, give me roles when I need to."

'Am I hearing it right? This child is already scheming at such a young age? Back when I was 12 years old, I'm still addicted to Pokemon and Pac-Man.'

"Sigh, anyway, let's talk outside."

Of course, Kazir knew that rumors might start flying if they stayed in the trailer for too long. So it was better to be safe than sorry.

"Okay." Scarlett Johansson nodded and opened the door.

The two walked out of the trailer and found the tutor talking to the crew. Kazir and Scarlett had a conversation where people could see them.

"What question do you want to ask?"

"It's about the scene where Kim Mills was talking to her father when she saw unknown people showing up."

"Ah, that scene. I think you already have an idea about it."

"As expected, it should be shock and fear, right?"

"Give me your best reaction."

"I need a few seconds to adapt."

Scarlett Johansson thought seriously. Then she turned to Kazir and showed a frightened expression.

"... Passable, but not the best. First of all, why are you holding your shoulders? Remember, Kim Mills was holding a phone at the time."

"Let me do it again."

This time Scarlett's performance was better. Kazir did not ask for anything great from her. He was already satisfied that Scarlett could work without being a crybaby.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

'Young children can be shy and timid in front of the camera. They usually cry when they're pressured, and they're hard to work with. I didn't want to work with young children as much as possible.'

He had the experience of working with a baby in The Hangover. The baby would cry at every break and it slowed the production down. Their schedule was behind the expected time. In addition, the children's association at that time also caused problems.

"I have to work hard, this is the scene we will shoot tomorrow. I don't want to cause trouble for the film crew." Scarlett muttered.

"I'm surprised that a little girl like you is aware of her surroundings."

"I'm not a little girl! I'm already 12." She kicked her foot in protest.

"That means you are a little girl."

"Geez!" She pouted.

She hated it when people made fun of her age. She tried to be mature. Well, her action was still that of a child.

"Kazir, does being a director fun."

"Thank God you stopped calling me brother. Anyway, what do you mean? I like my job and I love making films, so yeah, it's fun."

"Boys and girls at my age are snotty and act very immature. They fight and talk stupid things. I want to grow up fast and do what I want, something fun."

"Scarlett, boys and girls your age are very immature."

Kazir shook his head. This little girl was trying to grow up faster. In his opinion, Scarlett should see things from a child's perspective. She was still a child. She should cherish her childhood.

"Anyway, since you are making fun of me, you should buy me Chocolate Soufflés, if I pronounced that right. I heard there's a famous cake shop near our hotel."

She grinned, trying to be unreasonable again.

"Scarlett, you understand that I'm the director of this project. You can't order me around."

"Then I will not do my best tomorrow. Hell, I will even cry."

"... Are you threatening me?"

"That's right. You don't want your filming schedule to be late, right? Because it brings more expenses if the movie is late." She grinned like a little devil.

"You know I can fire you."

"That's true. But you have already shot almost 1/4 of Kim Mills' scenes. It will be expensive if you fire me and hire another girl. Maybe the girl you will cast is worst than me."

"..."

He was in the palm of a 12 year old girl, a 12 year old girl.

"Besides, I'm Salvatore Barlowe's client. You can't just fire me."

She crossed her arms condescendingly. For a little girl, she was too calculating.

'Now, my fear towards women is getting stronger...'

Adults respected him because of his authority and accomplishments. Most actors/actresses would even beg him just to be cast in his movie.

'Maybe this is proof that Scarlett Johansson is still a girl because she is immature.'

He decided to let it go. He massaged his forehead and finally agreed.

"Just to be clear, we start shooting at 7am and finish at 8pm. I can only take you to the shop when our work is done. We will take your tutor."

"Okay, no problem."

"You have to promise me that you will not cause any problems tomorrow."

"Do you want me to sign a contract?"

"No, just behave yourself."

'It was ironic that she was aware of her surroundings and yet wanted to use them to make trouble for me.'

He sighed. Even at the script reading three weeks ago, Scarlett Johansson got on his nerves. She kept changing her lines. People forgave her easily because of her young age. Luckily, she didn't cause any trouble when filming began.

'We also have to shoot in the USA. The first part of the movie was set in America and Harold has already found a cheap villa to use.'

They only had two months to shoot all the scenes in France. If they overstayed, they would have to invest more money just for accommodations.

"Hehe, you better keep your promise. Or I will keep pestering you until you agree. By the way, if you have a role suitable for me, cast me."

"Alright."

The little girl walked away, leaving Kazir alone.

The next day, Scarlett Johansson had a good performance, and she only made four NGs the whole day.

Since Scarlett Johansson kept her promise, Kazir obviously had to keep his.
