Chapter 95
"Cut! This time I want to make a certain adjustment."
Kazir Grey didn't use his megaphone since they were inside the yacht. There was no need to shout.
This yacht was mainly used for filming. It was a yacht specially made for the purpose of renting to production crew to shoot movies or tv shows. So the corner of the rooms in the yacht had spaces for cameras and cameramen.
Roman Polanski recommended this yacht for them to use. Because of his connection, they rented the yacht for a better price.
There were some scenes where Bryan Mills was breaking glass walls while fighting the bodyguards... These scenes had to be shot elsewhere.
The production crew was not crazy enough to damage the rented yacht. There was a clause that they would have to pay if the yacht was damaged.
They only used the exterior of the yacht and some rooms for shooting.
Like now.
"Let's try a different approach this time."
Kazir also understood that introducing the High Table and Baba Yaga in the first movie could be a dangerous move. So he had a plan B.
After a ten-minute break, shooting resumed.
Bryan Mills entered the room to find his daughter being threatened by the Middle Eastern man.
The man pointed his gun at Kim Mills. However, the man knew he was in grave danger. So he decided to negotiate with Bryan Mills.
"Let's negotiate..."
Bryan Mills didn't bother to listen and shot him in the head.
Unlike before, the Middle Eastern man died instantly. He didn't say anything about the High Table and Baba Yaga.
Kazir Grey was still struggling between the two scenes. Introducing the High Table and Baba Yaga might cause confusion. So he decided to shoot the original version just to make sure he had two different scenarios to choose from.
"I know. That's why I'm here. I want to ask you about it."
"... Come in."
Months passed after Kazir realized that Salvatore Barlowe had signed a contract with Scarlett Johansson. After their first meeting in the audition room, the little girl, for reasons unknown, started calling him brother.
Kazir let it go because he didn't really care. Besides, Scarlett Johansson was too young and he didn't want to reprimand her. So he let the girl call him brother.
But Kazir started to realize that Scarlett Johansson really treated him like one. That she started making fun of him like a real brother. It was cool at first, but the girl gradually lost her respect for Kazir Grey, the director of the movie.
'It is good that she is taking things seriously this time.'
Earlier, Scarlett Johansson had begged Kazir to buy her a croissant since they were France. Kazir didn't want to upset her and caused a mistake in the set, so he called one of the interns to buy one.
Scarlett Johansson was still young, but she was already displaying the arrogance of a superstar.
'To be honest, Scarlett Johansson is serious about her role. I can see that she has studied the role a lot. However, she is still young and her acting is unstable.'
This was one of the disadvantages of hiring underage actors/actresses.
If not for his promise to Salvatore Barlowe, Kazir might have chosen a young but legal actress instead. He only agreed because Salvatore Barlowe helped him most of the time.
"What question do you have this time?"
"About this one."
Scarlett Johansson pointed to a section of the script.
"Hm, page 36... Are you asking about the kidnapping of Kim Mills?"
"That's right, I want to know what emotion I should show. Should I be shocked or frightened? how about both?"
Kazir chuckled as he listened to the young girl's thoughts.
