Hollywood What If-Chapter 427

"And I will always love you~

I will always love you~"

The bride was casually hitting all of the high notes while singing "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston. This song was a tough one to sing, by the way, yet she delivered it without any hassle while wearing a wedding dress.

To make it more interesting, most of the guests were not shocked at all. They were having fun and cheering for the bride, but they weren't surprised by her performance. As if this kind of talent was a normal thing to them. Like singing was just part of their culture.

These people were Filipinos, and the bride was also a Filipina. That explains a lot, actually. Filipinos love karaoke and singing. You can hear them singing in the bedroom, in the toilet, in the classroom, in public. Like, they don't have shame and just sing… To be fair, though, the ones who sing in public really have amazing voices to back it up.

As for the other guests, they were shocked and amazed. Watching a newlywed bride sing one of the hardest songs with ease was astonishing. Most of the time, they only hear live singing performances in a bar or concert. But this was a wedding… Even MTV couldn't compare to what they were seeing right now.

"...Palenque, congratulations. I didn't know that your wife has amazing talent."

"Thanks, Director. I'm glad that you're here. I heard you are busy with a new project."

"You invited me and gave me a wedding invitation, I can't say no to that. Have a nice honeymoon. You deserve it after your hard work filming Game of Thrones."

Season 2 of Game of Thrones was already in pre-production, and Palenque Simone had fully taken the director's position.

In fact, some of the cast from Game of Thrones attended the wedding. A month from now, the project would start filming. At that time, Palenque's honeymoon with his wife would be two weeks done.

"Thanks, Director."

Kazir just smiled. He wanted to say to Palenque that he should have dropped the honorifics since he was also a director now. But he knew that Palenque would keep calling him Director. Perhaps because he respected Kazir.

This was also the same situation with Fremont.

The wedding was fun. Kazir also saw Scarlett in the attendees. The actress was looking at the bride with happiness and a hint of envy, perhaps?

Kazir was surprised that Scarlett got the role in Batman Begins. Well, she fit the criteria, but the actresses who were competing for the role were also top actresses.

But in the end, after the management calculated her salary and box office appeal, they decided to cast her as Rachel Dawes.

Batman Begins was about Bruce Wayne and how he became Batman. They didn't need a strong actress for the role, and considering that Scarlett Johansson was still rising in the industry, she was worth the shot.

Scarlett saw Kazir in the corner and waved her hand. Kazir also waved back.

The actress walked up to him.

"Hey, I didn't expect to see you here."

"Palenque was my assistant. It's fulfilling to see people around you being happy."

"Hm, you're right." She agreed and looked at the podium. The bride had already ended her performance and another person took the microphone. It was the bride's uncle.

The uncle sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" alone! And he did it so well. Like, what the fuck, was that even possible? Could Freddie Mercury, the vocalist of Queen, sing this song alone in acappella and make it sound good?

The guests were having fun and partying, while others were drinking and eating food.

"…"

Scarlett glanced at Kazir, who was smiling at the party.

"Hey," she said.

Kazir turned to her.

"When are you getting married?"

"Me? You know that I just broke up with Angelina. I have no one to marry me." He chuckled. He would be a fool if he said that he was fine.

He invested so much in that relationship. He was allowed to grieve for that failed relationship. He planned to stay single for a while.

"Perhaps..." Scarlett tried to say something, but Kazir cut her off.

"Besides, I'm not sure if I will ever marry someone. My experience with marriage was not great. It gave me trauma."

"I guess, never mind." She bitterly smiled before changing the topic. "By the way, congratulations. Spider-Man 2's revenue just surpassed $800 million worldwide. Do you think it will break the $1 billion mark like the first movie?"

"Probably not. The potential of Spider-Man 2 was already used up. At best, the movie can reach $900 million, but that's also hard to accomplish because Spider-Man 2 was already released in most countries."

"...Sometimes I think that you're being arrogant by saying that. But you are Kazir Grey, the best movie director in Hollywood. Achieving $900 million at the box office might not be hard for you." She sighed. She recalled that the person next to her was not a simple man.

"Thank you. I'll take that as a compliment."

"You're going to attend the Mr. and Mrs. Smith Part 2 red carpet, right?"

"Yeah."

This was a movie he wrote with the help of five professional screenwriters. Of course, he was going to watch it. Kazir was not confident in making original movies without reference, so he never directed them.

However, Wanted 2, The Hangover 2 & 3, and Napoleon Dynamite II & III were all originals, and their box offices were outstanding. Kazir was getting confident in writing original scripts lately… Although he was still not sure if he would direct one. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Do you have a partner for the premiere?" This time, Scarlett decided to shoot her shot.

"Nope." A quick answer from Kazir.

"Then why don't I become your partner instead? I'm also part of the CCU, so it will not be a surprise if I attend the premiere with you."
