Chapter 72

The month of July was a part of the summer when students could play around and watch movies.

Every film company understood how important the summer schedule was, because this was the season when film companies could make a lot of money.

Phenomenon, Courage Under Fire, A Time to Kill, and many other movies were released in July.

However, the month of July was dominated by only two movies. They were The Hangover and Independence Day.

At the end of the month, which was July 31st, Independence Day had $228.99 million. Honestly, that was a very large amount of money in just one month. This may be one of the reasons why Independence Day became the highest grossing movie of 1996.

Everyone in Hollywood understood that the movie would make more money. It still hadn't lost its freshness, and more moviegoers would watch t.

As for The Hangover, it earned $207.01 million. It was amazing that these two movies were released almost at the same time and their box office was over $200 million each.

The people in the marketing departments of the film companies concluded that people were very interested in science fiction. Especially if it had good graphics.

As for The Hangover, it was brought about by the scandal. Many people heard about the movie because of Kazir's scandal. So people became interested in the movie.

But let us not forget another fact. In the film history, the first movie that was advertised in the Super Bowl was Independence Day. It caused a huge shock after it was advertised. Because almost hundreds of millions of people watch Super Bowl every year.

Publicity. The two movies had good publicity. That could be the clear conclusion.

Even Disney felt that their decision to disturb Kazir Grey was wrong. Phenomenon didn't have any good results at all. The scandal they created was useless. Instead, they helped Kazir Grey and Warner Bros.

To make matters worse, Salvatore Barlowe announced that Kazir Grey would never work with Walt Disney and Universal Pictures.

Yes, the agent fucking announced it! Not at all afraid of the consequences. After all, there were other four giants Kazir could work with.

"... Michael."

Harvey Weinstein wiped his brow. He was the one responsible for fanning the flames of the scandal.

Michael Eisner closed his eyes. The performance of their films this year had been a bit lopsided.

Even their big production films like The Rock and Ransom didn't make $200 million. Their animated films were also getting weaker.

'That is why we need new blood in this company.'

"This could be a good situation."

When Harvey Weinstein used the power of Walt Disney to make trouble for Kazir, Michael Eisner turned a blind eye. Because he felt that Kazir Grey was nothing more than a newcomer. But his current movie was very successful.

So this Kazir Grey caught Michael Eisner's attention.

"Let's see if he is useful or dangerous."

While the politics were going on in Hollywood, Kazir and the cast of The Hangover flew to the United Kingdom.

Australia and Great Britain were both English-speaking countries. Hollywood usually released movies in their countries because of language similarities. Of course, there were other English-speaking countries, but these two countries bring a lot of money to Hollywood.

After going to Great Britain, the actors would go to other countries in Europe. Art films were very prominent in Europe, and they respected films.

Although recently European countries hated Hollywood because of its success. European art films were losing their strength.

"Do you think we will meet Princess Diana?"

Reese Witherspoon asked Kazir Grey after they got off the private plane. The plane belonged to Warner Bros.

"Princess Diana? Ah!"

Kazir recalled that Princess Diana was still alive at the time.

'Her death is really heartbreaking...'

He sighed.

'As for the conspiracy theories about her and the royal family... I didn't really know what happened.'

"I am amazed by Princess Diana because she is a real person... Unlike her husband."

"Reese, you should keep your voice down. The royal family is in control of this country. We don't want to upset them. Besides, Prince Charles is going to inherit the throne."

"Really?"

"Well... That's what I've heard."
