Chapter 65
There were many kinds of commercial ideas. Maybe tons of advertising ideas. Especially when the Internet went mainstream.
Before that, there was traditional advertising.
-- Piggybacking on the news agenda.
-- Making a scene and leaving a strong impression on people. Good or bad.
-- Using social media to connect with people. (Not feasible because the Internet was just booming and many homes in the U.S. didn't have Internet).
Kazir decided to use the second option to promote the film. Since he was going to be involved in the scandal, he might as well take advantage of it.
The very strong example of this is Kim Kardashian. After the Paris Hilton sex tape was released and caught the attention of all of North America. Kim Kardashian followed suit. Her porn scandal is a huge success.
To be honest, Kim Kardashian used the sex tape as a springboard to fame.
Now, her net worth is 1.2 billion as of 2023.
'People are unforgiving for a wife beater. Even me, I fucking hate men who hurt women.'
Despite the argument with Cassandra, Kazir never resorts to physical violence.
"Are you ready, Kazir?"
Salvatore asked beside him.
Kazir nodded.
They left the Warner Bros building. As soon as they left the building, they were surrounded by hundreds of reporters.
"Director Grey! Is it true that you hit your wife?"
"All I can say is don't trust all women. Some of them use sympathy to take advantage of others."
"Director Grey, CBS interviewed Cassandra last night. She was crying and said that you used to beat her whenever you come back to the house. She said that was the reason she divorced you. Is that true?"
"The court has already determined that Cassandra has never filed an assault case against me. I gave her most of my property at that time because I want nothing from her."
[Nah, I believe you. That bitch is probably gnashing her teeth because she didn't get more money from you. Besides, if you really beat her, I'm still on your side. We're family. Although you will definitely go to jail if you really hit her.]
They both laughed.
The call ended after a few minutes of conversation. Kazir was grateful to have his father and brother on his side.
His father even recommended a lawyer. But Kazir trusted Terrence Downey, so he refused.
'Terrence Downey is going to have a field day with this lawsuit.'
All these accusations were useless because Cassandra had no evidence to back up her statement. Her agenda was clear, she just wanted money.
Unfortunately, Warner Bros was on Kazir's side. They would definitely destroy Cassandra's life.
'I have seen so many men whose lives have been destroyed by false accusations, divorces, and DNA tests of their children. Many men have gone to prison because of false rape accusations. Many men have killed themselves because society hates them, for no reason.'
Kazir tried to be a good person. But some things can't be taken for granted. Cassandra did that to herself.
'She's probably not the mastermind. Someone is controlling her... I already have an idea.'
He thought his problems with WMA were over. However, it seemed that some people could not let go of the grudge.
"Make sure that Cassandra will face many lawsuits."
"I will."
Salvatore agreed. He was furious with the insatiable bitch. She had already gotten most of Kazir's property after the divorce. But she could not settle and wanted more.
Time Warner and other media began to portray Kazir's life. Some said he was an honest man and some said he was a psychotic man. Many accusations were leveled against him, all because of one woman's crying/lying.
'... Now I understand Johnny Depp's situation. When the whole world is against you, you see who you can trust.'
Suddenly his phone rang again. This time it was Reese Witherspoon.
She wanted to invite him to dinner to relax. Kazir appreciated her goodwill, so he agreed to meet her. After all, he needed someone to cuddle...
