Chapter 12

Kazir wrote the scenes. Fortunately, Napoleon Dynamite has an important part in his heart. He remembered most of the content.

Besides, Kazir Grey was confident in his ability to remember movies. As a director, he loves movies so much that he would watch a movie at least once a day.

'It's unfortunate that I don't have a VHS in my apartment. I have a VHS in the house, but...'

He shook his head as he remembered that he had already given his house to Cassandra. He didn't regret it. That would be the last time Cassandra would get a thing from him.

Kazir spent the whole week writing the script and the proposal. He made sure he didn't forget any important detail.

The sound of the typewriter soothed his mind as he wrote. It was music to his ears. Although it was frustrating when he made a typo.

Once he made a mistake, he had to rewrite it. He wasted dozens of papers just to finish his script and proposal. But it was worth it, he was doing what he loved. He didn't feel tired at all.

"Huu--!"

Kazir threw up his arms and groaned.

'I don't know why, but it feels good to stretch your body after long hours of sitting.'

Indeed.

Kazir got up and looked out of the window. He noticed that it was already evening.

He smiled bitterly, time was really passing and he didn't even feel it.

It was already March 28 and the post-production of Se7en was still going on. Kazir decided not to contact David Fincher and concentrated on his new script.

He trusted David Fincher and believed that he would make a successful movie. Besides, Kazir's contract clearly stated that he didn't have the right to participate in editing and post-production.

Even if he had suggestions and opinions, he knew that the producer and director had the final say.

"I have to get up early tomorrow and contact Fox Searchlight Pictures.

Napoleon Dynamite was distributed in North America by Fox Searchlight Pictures, while Paramount Pictures handled international distribution.

"I see you want to make this movie yourself, is that right, Mr. Grey?"

"Yes."

Tom Rothman frowned slightly when he heard the answer. To be honest, he was not confident that Kazir Grey would successfully finish the movie.

'He even wrote his last three movies. All of them were small-budget movies that went straight to videotape market. At least he has enough experience, but still...'

"It says here that the movie needs 500 thousand dollars, do you think this amount is too much?"

"No, sir. I think half a million dollars is enough to make it."

"I see..."

Tom Rothman thought seriously. He weighed the pros and cons of the script.

As the founder of the studio, Tom Rothman wanted to make sure that Fox Searchlight Pictures would be successful. Otherwise, his position might be unsteady.

'The genre is comedy, and it's accepted worldwide. The answer is whether this movie can entertain audiences.'

"Mr. Grey, we will get back to you later."

"Thank you, Mr. Rothman."

Kazir smiled and shook his head. At least Tom Rothman didn't show any obvious dislike. Their first meeting had been amiable.

[IMPORTANT NOTES: So I've been thinking about this for days. I'm having trouble deciding which cinematic universe Kazir will film once he's famous.]

Should he go for:

1) DC Universe [The Dark Night Trilogy with Christian Bale + The Man of Steel and other DC movies].

2) Marvel Cinematic Universe [Iron Man and the other Marvel movies, but the Incredible Hulk will be part of the universe.]

3) Spies, Assassins, Hitmen, Criminals, and Agents Universe. [This is an original universe I'm planning. I will combine the John Wick, Fast and the Furious, Taken, Wanted, and Bourne series into one Cinematic Universe].
