Hollywood What If Chapter 472

Kazir knew that his mother and half-sister stayed in Hollywood, although he hadn't heard from them lately.

He also knew that his half-sister went to college, striving for a degree in Fine Arts in Acting.

However, he didn't know that Amber and Mara were friends. He had no intention of knowing anything about his mother's side after he realized the truth. It was understandable that he didn't know about Amber's relationship with Mara Cohen.

If not for Scarlett, he wouldn't even know it.

"I met Mara at an audition, and that woman, Amber Heard, was with her. At that time, my relationship with Mara was already at its worst, so our interaction was never that great. Mara and her friends bullied me. Of course, Amber Heard was included."

Scarlett already knew the truth about Kazir's relationship with his mother and his half-sister. Kazir was honest about it.

She was not surprised that Mara and her mother were bitches, but when she heard the full story from Kazir, her expression turned livid, and she wanted to find the mother and daughter just to smack their faces.

Elizabeth Cohen had basically said that Kazir's existence was a mistake, and Scarlett would never agree with that.

In fact, Scarlett tried to find them, but she realized she couldn't. Apparently, the mother and daughter had decided to go to the United Kingdom to pursue a different career for Mara.

The last time she heard, Mara was working as a weather reporter at a local TV station. It was a surprise because Scarlett was confident that Mara was too stupid to become a reporter. Perhaps her mother helped her find a job.

Anyway, her hatred toward Mara and Elizabeth was over the top. She hoped that the mother and daughter would never step foot in the country again, or else they might receive a pair of smacks on their cheeks.

Scarlett was fuming.

So when she saw Amber Heard coming out of the set of Pirates of the Caribbean, her expression was not good.

"They bullied you?" When Kazir heard that, his expression became serious.

"I fought, of course, but it was a 1 vs. 5 situation, so I didn't win."

To be fair, they didn't lay hands on Scarlett, they just mocked her throughout the whole audition.

"I see... Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

When Kazir heard that Amber Heard had bullied Scarlett, all of his pity vanished. At first, he felt like destroying Amber's relationship with Johnny was the right thing to do since he knew the outcome would be horrible for both sides if they continued the relationship.

But now, he didn't give a fuck about Amber's situation.

'From the looks of it, she's already a bad person since college. I have no reason to feel bad at all.'

He would make sure that Amber would never find her place in Hollywood.

It was no longer about Johnny Depp, not anymore. Kazir didn't like that Amber Heard bullied Scarlett, and this was his way of protecting his girlfriend.

"You don't have to worry. She will leave the project."

"Kazir, don't do anything that will hurt you. I feel like you're going to do something about Amber. I'm fine. That was in the past, and I don't care about it anymore. Just don't hurt yourself."

Scarlett could see that Kazir was thinking of something. She touched his chest and comforted him.

Kazir smiled.

"I will. I won't do anything."

'I will not hurt myself, but Amber will definitely hurt herself because of her own decisions.'

Based on what he remembered, Amber had a history of cheating. Kazir would put that to the test.

Kazir condemned doing bad things to others. He had experienced getting cheated on and being accused of things he never did.

He didn't want anyone else to experience what he had suffered.

Perhaps he was being affected by the curse of Hollywood, or perhaps he was just a hypocrite. But at this point, he hated Amber.

She hurt Scarlett, so Kazir hated her, simple as that.

As for the other women who bullied Scarlett, Kazir would make sure they would never find a career in Hollywood.

August ended, and Kung Fu Panda grossed over $182 million at the North American box office by the end of the month.

As for Batman Begins, it grossed $217 million at the North American box office. The movie had been screening for 78 days, and it was losing steam. However, the international box office for Batman Begins grossed $257 million, and it was increasing as the days passed. Combined, the box office for Batman Begins was $474 million.

As Batman Begins had a budget of $150 million, including promotion, Warner Brothers concluded that the movie was a success. Although they felt like the movie's performance was average considering Kazir's recent movies.

They didn't express that disappointment to Kazir because they wanted to maintain the cooperation. Even though Batman Begins' box office was average, they knew that only Kazir had the power to revive this dead franchise.

It was a good thing that they didn't speak badly to Kazir, because their opinions would change once the sequel, The Dark Knight, was released. A minor spoiler, but Warner Brothers lost their shit when The Dark Knight started tanking the box office.

In 2005, Kazir had five movies related to him.

Final Destination.

Batman Begins.

Kung Fu Panda.

Now You See Me.

Taken 3.

Now You See Me was scheduled to be released in November.

As for Taken 3, since 20th Century Fox was just the distributor, they couldn't prioritize it.

So Taken 3 was scheduled to be released in a less popular month, which was September.

Yet despite the fact that Taken 3 was scheduled in September, many fans were still excited to watch it. They saw the trailer, and they knew they were in for a ride.

Taken 3 was expected to be one of the heavy hitters this year, especially when they heard that the next movie would be the next assembly of the protagonists of the CCU. It meant that something happened in Taken 3 that triggered the scenario. This information was leaked by Grey Pictures as a promotion.

[Author's Note: Kingsman won the poll, so it's the next CCU movie.]
