Chapter 73

The promotion for The Hangover went on for over a month before the last stop, Japan.

Despite her hopes, Reese Witherspoon didn't meet Princess Diana. They only stayed three days in the United Kingdom before leaving. Besides, The Hangover might be inappropriate for the princess to attend.

After all, the Princess was still married to Prince Charles when The Hangover premiered in the UK. They divorced on August 28, 1996... Six days after the film's release.

Apparently, the cast had already flown to another country by the time it was officially announced.

Anyway, Reese was surprised that when they returned to the U.S., the news of Princess Diana and Prince Charles' divorce was all over the news.

"Phew... Let me rest."

Kazir lay down on his bed and closed his eyes. He was exhausted.

The two months of endless publicity had taken their toll on Kazir. They went to different places, traveled around the world just to promote the movie.

The month of August came to an end and the summer schedule was over. There were still movies to be released in September, but they didn't get much attention.

Film companies usually released movies that they were not sure about in that month. Like Se7en, it was released in September last year.

But The Hangover was different. Kazir laughed out loud. All 10% of the North American box office was for him alone.

Kazir had already received his $5 million salary. He was even thinking about buying a house.

Warner Bros had signed a contract that if The Hangover grossed more than $100 million, Kazir Grey would automatically get 10% of the box office.

Since the month of August was already over. The Hangover played for more than 60 days. The movie made 261 million dollars. Yes, he would get more than 26 million dollars!

"Not bad... Who am I kidding, it's the best! Haha!"

He laughed as he lay on the bed.

Money. People said money was bad. They said it was the root of all evil. They said that money could never make you happy.

"Well, I'm not sure about that."

One thing was for sure. He was happy now that he had a lot of money.

"Now, about my next plan..."

Kazir knew he was taking a risk with his new project. In fact, many film companies were trying to contact him about his project.

'Terry Semel has already expressed his dissatisfaction with my next film not being a comedy. He said it would be better if I directed the sequel of The Hangover instead. He has a point. It's better to direct a comedy than an action movie, especially when I don't have any experience in directing an action movie. But it's my dream to make an action movie... Hell, I even have a cinematic universe in my head.'

Kazir yawned and slowly let his mind drift off to sleep. He had plenty of time to think about it. Now that his last two movies were successful, someone would be interested in working with him.
