Hollywood What If-Chapter 406

Three companies were backing Kazir at this moment. It was amazing that Kazir had signed a business deal with Warner Brothers before the scandal blew up. Perhaps Kazir already had an inkling that this situation would happen.

Warner Brothers could not pass up the chance to make money. Kazir's profitability was obvious. If the director took over the position of director and filmed the Dark Knight Trilogy, then Warner Brothers would rake in massive money.

With great consistency, Warner Brothers knew that Kazir would also provide them with a huge amount of profit. The director never failed to do so.

As for Sony-Columbia, Kazir was still working on Spider-Man 2 and they didn't want any mishap. So, they had to protect Kazir's reputation at all costs.

Kazir had already finished the post-production. It might need a few minor adjustments, but the movie was complete overall.

His name was connected to Spider-Man 2, and this incident could affect the outcome of the movie.

Being part of 20th Century Fox, Kazir naturally received protection from the company. Heck, he had just sold three of his scripts to Century Fox as a kind of protection fee...

Anyway, he was an important person, so he would be protected.

The three companies decided to work together to stop these false allegations.

Since the allegations were about Kazir's "bad behavior," the three studios immediately found a way to address the issue and stop the false allegations.

News and rumors about Kazir's "rapey" behavior toward female actresses were spreading.

To fix that, they just had to interview the actresses in question. Kazir's filmography was well-known. They could easily list every actress that Kazir had worked with.

The studios asked the actresses, some through formal interviews, while others used paparazzi-style methods, such as what happened to Reese Witherspoon. Formal interviews usually had prepared questions, and the actresses wouldn't be caught off guard.

But street interviews were different. The reporters would literally follow the actresses and ask them questions. Sometimes stupid, personal, offensive, invasive, outlandish, and repetitive.

This kind of questioning was usually meant to upset the actresses and capture their raw emotions. So many actors had experienced horrible interviewers.

Oprah once asked Mary-Kate Olsen about her eating disorder, making the actress visibly uncomfortable. Oprah even asked about her weight, making fun of her. At that time, Mary-Kate Olsen was still a minor, by the way.

Ellen DeGeneres offered Mariah Carey a glass of champagne during an interview… By the way, there was a rumor that Mariah Carey was pregnant at the time and alcohol was bad for pregnancy.

Reporters, paparazzi, and even talk show hosts, they would do everything just to get the stories they wanted to get.

The news was broadcast by the three studios, and the interviews of many actresses caught the attention of the public.

Reese Witherspoon said that Kazir was innocent.

Brianna Evans also said the same thing.

Cameron Diaz said that Kazir was a nice person. He always treated her right.

Even Angelina Jolie, Kazir's "current girlfriend", showed up in an interview to make things clear.

They all testified that Kazir was not the person the media portrayed him to be.

Kirsten Dunst and Keira Knightley also appeared in an interview and said that Kazir was never inappropriate on set. He was always calm and collected, rarely raising his voice.

These interviews revealed another side of the scandal and divided public opinion. Some believed that Kazir was a bad person, while others believed he was good.

Universal Pictures and Walt Disney tried their best. They claimed that the actresses had been paid and should tell the truth.

Well, if this scandal continued, even the actresses might file lawsuits against the two studios for defamation.

After all, the two studios were essentially suggesting that these actresses sold their bodies just to be part of the movies. It was the most degrading accusation that could be made against an actress.

They had to protect their image.

The two sides kept throwing news stories at each other. Universal Pictures and Walt Disney were at a disadvantage because the battle was 2 versus 3. Furthermore, it was also true that Kazir was never a bad person. They were just trying to destroy his reputation.

It didn't matter if the news was real, as long as people believed it. Michael Jackson and Johnny Depp had experienced the same thing, and their careers took a nosedive for a few years because of it. That was Universal Pictures and Walt Disney's intention.

However, the battle ended when the slowly crumbling balance collapsed.

Paramount Pictures, a studio that had remained neutral in the situation, finally decided to take action.

Paramount Network chose to side with Kazir Grey! The equilibrium vanished, and Universal Pictures and Walt Disney lost momentum. They couldn't sustain their attack any longer.

The two studios stopped attacking Kazir. There was no reason to continue. As long as cracks had formed in Kazir's reputation, then their mission was accomplished. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

In this case, Kazir Grey was the one who had taken most of the damage. He could still file a lawsuit, though. Although, the two studios might manage to postpone the case. They had the power to do so.

Well, at least, news about Kazir's scandal stopped appearing. The damage was done, and Kazir had to face the consequences.

Being a talented person was never a good thing. Many people would become jealous and hope to see your downfall.

Just like what Kazir had done to mend his relationship with 20th Century Fox, he offered Paramount Pictures the same treatment.

Nothing was more enticing than his library of scripts. In exchange for their help, Paramount Pictures received Clash of the Titans. Kazir said that the movie had the potential to become a trilogy. This convinced Paramount Pictures to accept the deal, knowing Kazir's capabilities.

This business deal was probably one of the easiest ones Kazir had ever made. After all, he had a lot of scripts to sell.
