Hollywood What If-Chapter 440

The filming in Iceland went smoothly. They took some background shots and also took advantage of the situation to fish more.

Kazir was consistent and never forgot any scenes. If he had an idea, he would talk to the crew and shoot it within their capabilities. freёnovelkiss.com

"I didn't know you could cook?"

"Don't underestimate me. Of course I can cook."

It had been two weeks since the crew stepped foot in Iceland... Honestly, they were getting tired of the cold weather. It was a good thing that they never overextended, since Kazir was fast with his job as a director. Two days from now, they would return to the United States.

While staying in Iceland, the crew members developed a hobby of fishing.

So right now, on the table, Kazir was looking at freshly fried fish and chips. He was amazed by the woman who cooked the dish because he didn't expect it at all.

Scarlett remarked that she could cook, and Kazir unconsciously chuckled when he heard it.

'She was probably talking about microwaving some stuff.' Kazir believed so.

Scarlett was recognized as one of the most beautiful and hottest celebrities in Hollywood. Surely, she could hire someone to cook her food.

Besides, actresses in Hollywood usually maintain their weight to ensure that their facial features wouldn't change. She wouldn't have the luxury of indulging in homemade cooking.

When Scarlett heard his mocking laugh, she clicked her tongue and made a bet.

"Let's make a bet. You will do whatever I want once I show you that I can cook."

"Okay, if you can really cook, I will do whatever you want."

He grinned.

'She'll probably ask me to increase her screen time in the movie.'

He had heard this favor so many times from actors and agents. Some even tried to bribe him.

"Don't try to escape once I prove myself to you."

Scarlett was beaming with anger. This man dared her to cook. He didn't know what he was stepping into.

Believing that this bet was simple, Kazir was invited to a cookout. The production had hired a group of cooks to prepare food whenever the crew members were busy. Most of the time, people in the production crew didn't have time to cook, so they owed a lot to these cooks.

In front of witnesses, Scarlett entered the kitchen and started cooking.

Kazir's face was smiling at first, but his expression slowly turned into a frown as he saw how Scarlett cooked meals.

Let her cook.

A few minutes later, a plate of food was delivered right in front of him.

The people around him were looking at Kazir, waiting for his response. Some of them also wanted to have a taste of Scarlett's dish.

He sighed and decided to taste it… It was actually delicious. It wasn't Michelin restaurant-level, but it was definitely delicious.

"Don't try to make an excuse and say that fish and chips are simple dishes. If you want, I can also cook another meal. We have fettuccine pasta. I can cook Fettuccine Alfredo for you."

"Nah, I'm not that petty. I admit that you can cook… Also, I have no idea what Fettuccine Alfredo is."

Some Italians in the crew gasped when Kazir said that.

"Okay, fine. You win. So what do you want me to do?"

"..."

Scarlett glanced at the people who were enjoying the scene.

"I'll tell you later."

"All right."

Kazir agreed. He also knew that it would be uncomfortable if Scarlett said she wanted more screen time in front of many people, especially when Christian Bale and Liam Neeson were also there.

As for keeping his promise of increasing her screen time... Kazir would try his best to do so while not destroying the movie.

After all, Batman Begins was about a superhero fighting crime, not a romance story...

"Ah, I remember, there was no romance, only tragedy."

Rachel Dawes died in The Dark Knight... Even Romeo and Juliet didn't have an intense scene like that, where Batman had to choose which person he had to save.

The filming in Iceland ended. For some reason, Scarlett never talked about the bet, and Kazir also forgot about it since he had a job to do.

Despite staying in Iceland for more than two weeks, the crew didn't have time to see the Aurora Borealis. Perhaps they might have a chance later.

The crew returned to the United States, and many of them were happy to experience the warm weather of Los Angeles. Despite the winter, Los Angeles was still warmer than Iceland.

November was a busy month for Hollywood, as six big movies were released that month.

The Polar Express, from Warner Brothers.

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, from Universal Pictures.

Finding Neverland, from Miramax.

National Treasure, from Walt Disney.

SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie, from Paramount Pictures.

Alexander, from Warner Brothers.

Some of these movies surpassed $200 million, while others stayed in the usual $100 million box office range.

By the way, Angelina Jolie actually starred in Alexander. The actress was questioned about the reason why she and Kazir were no longer dating, and the woman just smiled and didn't answer.

Even though Warner Brothers was working with Kazir, they didn't hesitate to use his past relationship as a way of promoting their movie.

Kazir didn't like it. But he didn't have a say in this regard. He was also working under Warner Brothers, after all. Besides, it was too late when he heard the news, so he just let it go.

He decided to focus more on his project. He also had to attend the premiere of La La Land this week. He was the screenwriter of that movie.
