Chapter 137

"Yes, director." Bryan Cranston replied.

Kazir shrugged and let the man feel the adrenaline. As long as everything went well and the shot was good, he didn't have a problem.

Bryan Cranston was 42 years old and still confident in his physique.

'Honestly, I'm not sure if I should kill him in this movie or not. But given John Wick's disposition, he will never leave an enemy alive.'

In their final fight, John Wick strangled Kirill with his handcuffs. John Wick made sure the guy was dead. His chances of appearing in the sequels may be close to zero.

Unless it's a movie about the past, before John Wick retired.

After Kazir announced another break and checked the footage, filming resumed.

This time John Wick (Viggo Mortensen) was wounded by a gunshot. He fought Kirill, but his wound prevented him from giving his best. He was easily subdued and kicked several times after he tried to get up.

Kirill also smashed a wine bottle against his head, breaking it. He then proceeded to stab John Wick with the broken wine bottle and threw him to the ground, by the way, they were fighting on the second floor so John Wick's impact on the ground was really painful.

Of course, that whole action sequence didn't happen all at once. It was shot piece by piece, and even the wine bottle was fake. The person falling from the second floor was a professional stuntman and there was padding for a safe landing. They spent 4 hours filming those 4 minutes of footage... Even John Wick and Kirill's fight was filmed three times just to get a better performance.

Watching it on the screen was completely different than watching it being filmed.

"Cut! Let's wrap it up this time. Tomorrow is Sunday and we don't have any work, but some of you have to stay to take care of the equipment".

Kazir announced the end of work after looking at his watch and showing that it was past 10:30 p.m.

"Yes, director!"

The crew replied and began to clean the set. They were done with the bar scene and would have to move on to their next location on Monday.

Kazir was not a heartless person who would terrorize his crew members. They deserved a break. It was good that they were filming in California because most of the crew live in the state.

The schedule was all good and there was no pressure on the crew. Maybe this production crew is the most relaxed crew they have ever worked with.

"So, Mr. Ludlum, may I know the reason you're here?"

"Kazir, you can call me Robert. You don't have to be formal. As for the reason... I actually received a call from someone."

Kazir's eyes became serious.

"Is it someone from Warner Brothers?"

"Warner Brothers? No, he said he was from Walt Disney." Robert Ludlum replied.

"..."

Hearing this, Kazir Grey realized that things were getting complicated.

"About that, can you please tell me why they contacted you?"

Kazir ordered two cups of coffee, knowing that this conversation might take a while. A few minutes later someone brought them coffee.

"Walt Disney wants to buy the Jason Bourne movie copyrights."

"..."

Kazir remained silent.

"Of course, the copyrights of the Jason Bourne series such as Identity, Legacy, Supremacy and Ultimatum were already acquired by Grey Pictures."

"Hm." Kazir nodded.

"They wanted to buy it for a whopping three million dollars."

Kazir shrugged. He bought the copyrights of this series for $4.5 million.

"But that's not why I'm here. Kazir, I want you to remember the promise you made to me last time."

"Of course I will keep that promise."

Kazir Grey successfully bought the copyrights for one reason - he promised that Robert Ludlum would see Jason Bourne in theaters before the new century began.

Robert Ludlum didn't care if Jason Bourne became part of a cinematic universe. He didn't like the idea, but his dream of seeing his novels turned into movies was much stronger. So he let go of that prejudice and accepted Kazir's proposal.
