HWI 453
Hollywood What If Chapter 453
Kazir invested almost all of his money in stocks, so it was not a surprise that his wealth increased to over $4 billion.
Still, this amount of money was terrifying. He had no idea how to spend it. He was not a materialistic type. Except for his library of videotapes and DVDs in his house, he was never interested in material things... For a moment, Kazir thought of buying another house and a car.
"Speaking of cars, Lamborghini gave me a replica of the Batmobile last week... I should probably try it once Batman Begins is released."
The Batmobile was still not allowed to be shown to the public... unless Warner Brothers agreed to use it as a way of promoting the movie.
Lamborghini had been one of the sponsors of CCU, and Grey Pictures had a close relationship with the brand. Because of the popularity of CCU, the cars that were advertised in the movies were easily sold.
The cars that were sold were all limited editions, with only a few units circulating in the entire world. Meaning that each car cost more than $1 million minimum.
Especially when the Fast and Furious franchise was released, so many car enthusiasts became interested in CCU. Kazir wanted The Fast and the Furious to have at least one street racing scene in every movie. Because that was the initial essence of the movie, street racing. The first three movies of Fast and Furious revolved around that.
"Batmobile... Yeah, I should probably buy a car this year. I want to drive Scarlett around L.A."
Lamborghini decided to give one of their limited editions to Kazir as a way of improving their relationship. Lamborghini had actually heard that Ferrari was trying to get a spot in the advertising lineup of CCU, and Lamborghini didn't like that, hence the gift.
"Thank you, Vance."
"I should be the one thanking you, Kazir. You helped me so much in my career. I owe a lot to you. I'll make sure to never give you up, and never let you down."
"You know the rules, and so do I," Kazir nodded.
If not for the warning that Kazir had given to Vance in 1999, perhaps the stockbroker might have also been one of the people who jumped off the building.
The two shook hands, and Vance bid farewell.
"...Looks like I have to consult my financial advisor this month. God, taxes will probably haunt me again this year."
Kazir used every legal method to lessen his taxes, such as charities, business deductions, and many more.
However, taxes still cut him millions every year. People were mad and jealous of the rich, but it was true that rich people were the ones who paid the most taxes... Well, yeah, it was obvious why.
...
...
...
After that meeting with Vance, Kazir returned to Warner Brothers to edit Batman Begins. The movie was near completion, and Kazir had time to take a rest.
February was a great month for many people. Brianna Evans and Fremont Smith got the awards they had been dreaming about. Kazir had already called Fremont and apologized for not attending the party last night.
Fremont just laughed it off. His voice was hoarse because he had been partying all night. The Black director was not mad. He even invited Kazir to a barbeque party next week.

...
On the streets of Los Angeles, a Bugatti Veyron was vrooming. It was making a noise that caught the attention of the people walking down the street.
Some of them shook their heads because it looked childish. Some were looking at the car with jealousy, hoping that they would also have one.
Some women were staring at the man who was driving the car. The man was wearing sunglasses to hide his identity, but it was obvious that he was handsome.
Kazir decided to buy a Bugatti Veyron just because he had money. When you have so much money, it feels like spending a million on a car is not that expensive anymore.
By the way, Kazir could have bought a sports car in his past life, but he never did because he was not the type who wanted attention. He was a director, not an actor.
Besides, he had a Dad bod in his past life. That meant he had a fat belly and looked unhealthy.
But now, Kazir, who was holding the steering wheel, looked like a hunk. The description of an alpha male fit him. He was tall, handsome, fit, and rich. He was oozing with confidence, and the women who were staring at him became attracted to him.
One of them even had the courage to approach him. The woman had blonde hair, thick pouty lips, a thin waist, huge boobs, and was wearing a short skirt... She looked like a bimbo, not going to lie.
"Hey baby, what are you looking for? Are you looking for fun? How about you take me for a ride?"
Called it. She might be a hooker.
Perhaps she was interested in Kazir because he looked rich. He was also handsome and tall. It was not a surprise that she wanted him.
"I can help you touch your gearshift. Or should I call it a gear shaft?" she giggled, leaning closer to show her huge tits.
"Can you step aside? You're blocking my way."
A cold voice came from behind. The bimbo turned around and found a gorgeous woman. Just like Kazir, Scarlett was also wearing sunglasses, but that didn't stop her beauty from showing.
"Huh?"
The bimbo tried to say something, but she stopped when she saw that Kazir had opened his car door for Scarlett.
"You're looking gorgeous as always."
"Of course," she scoffed.
"..."
Kazir realized that the woman was in a bad mood. It seemed that he had to make her feel good today.
The Bugatti left the place, leaving the dumbfounded bimbo behind.
"...Wait a fucking minute? Is that Kazir Grey and Scarlett Johansson?"
Kazir and Scarlett were both famous, so it was not surprising that they were recognized. The sunglasses didn't do a damn thing.
