Chapter 60
Kazir Grey signed a contract with Warner Bros to release the movie in the summer.
Because of this, Kazir formulated a plan... to make sure that the filming would be finished in April or early May.
After the trouble with the Children's Association, Kazir and his crew began to pick up the pace. The atmosphere in the crew became better and the mood of the actors was great.
Some of the actors made mistakes, but not enough to cause much trouble. After all, even talented actors had NGs while shooting movies.
'If there's something that surprised me, it's the acting of these certain actors...'
Whenever these actors were in front of the cameras, they easily adjusted their emotions and expressions.
'I don't ask for explosive acting, but they really gave me one.'
Kazir understood that the level of acting in The Hangover was much higher than in Napoleon Dynamite. In fact, that was the reason he wanted to shoot four takes of each scene to make sure he could pick the best shot.
Kazir expected Reese Witherspoon to improve after he coached her on her acting.
Because of their relationship, Kazir made sure that Reese Witherspoon would be a great actress. Unlike other actresses, Reese Witherspoon had a strong sweet charm. So Kazir wanted her to take advantage of that.
'She's really improving, I'm impressed.'
Reese's scenes in the movie were not many, but she clearly gained the attention of the camera.
'Once The Hangover is finished, I'll try to help her get roles that suit her. If that's not possible, I'll make a role that fits her.'
Kazir had a lot of ideas for the future... He basically knew most of the romantic comedies that would hit the blockbuster.
'The other actors are Jack Black and Pedro Pascal.'
After playing Pedro Sanchez in Napoleon Dynamite, Pedro Pascal decided to keep the mustache. Kazir approved of his decision because Pedro Pascal with a mustache was iconic.
Pedro Pascal's character in the movie was Doug. He was the groom who disappeared after the night of drug use. To be honest, his scenes were mostly concentrated in the first half of the movie.
'Still, his acting is impeccable. I can't ask for more because he has no NGs. Although I am reshooting the scenes in the hope of seeing more impressive acting from him.'
As for Jack Black, he was a funny guy. He just knew how to make people laugh.
For a comedy actor, that was the best and strongest talent he should have.

"And cut! Okay, guys, I announce that the filming of The Hangover is complete!"
"Woohoo!"
The crew members around him shouted excitedly. Even the actors sighed and smiled after knowing that the shooting was over. It had been an exhausting three months for them. The project was fun overall, but it still took its toll on them.
"We have three days to relax. You can go to the casino and have some fun. But don't spend too much."
"Haha."
The second week of May came and the shooting of the movie officially ended. They started filming in the last week of February and finished in May.
To be honest, their filming was fast compared to other projects. It was all because of Kazir's plan.
He already knew everything he wanted to shoot, so he did not make a blind move.
The actors thanked him one by one. They enjoyed working with Kazir. If the movie went well, they wanted to work with him again.
"It's okay, I believe in you."
Kazir thanked everyone and promised that they would have a farewell party in Los Angeles.
For now, they could rest and have some fun in Las Vegas.
"Director Grey, how about we go to the MGM Grand? I hear they have a nice casino there."
The actors tried to invite him, but Kazir shook his head.
"I'm sorry, but I have to check the footages later."
As always, he preferred movies to anything else. Even Reese Witherspoon, who was sitting next to him, just shrugged. She was expecting his reaction.
[Is it short that I only covered three chapters of The Hangover filming? Comment below your thoughts. Should I expand the filming chapters for the next movie?]
