Chapter 254

Tom Rothman had complicated thoughts about so many things. He was happy that 20th Century Fox had the chance to work with Kazir Grey, but he was unhappy that Kazir Grey was working with other competitors. He was also unhappy that Grey Pictures was making massive profits.

A billion dollars... A very large amount of money. Even if Grey Pictures could only get 10% of that amount, they were already winning.

Based on the contract that Grey Pictures signed, they will probably make around $350 million. It depends on the situation, the international profit distribution is very complicated and it takes months to settle.

Still, it was a huge amount of money.

Suddenly an idea popped into his head.

'... Either Grey Pictures disappears or 20th Century Fox buys it. There's no in-between. Grey Pictures needs a solid distributor and a strong wall to rely on, and that's something they lack. Acquiring this company can bring a lot to 20th Century Fox.'

But the big problem was that Kazir Grey owned Grey Pictures. The sole owner. They could not buy the stock or invest in the stock, they had to deal directly with Kazir.

And if Kazir was not interested in selling his company, that would be a problem.

'But just like how Miramax and New Line Cinema gave in, Grey Pictures never has a chance to go up against the Big Six. That's the truth, and I think Kazir knew it.' Tom nodded.

If the Big Six made a decision and decided to gang-bang Grey Pictures, then the company would be run through very badly... Ahem.

Anyway, it would be bad for Grey Pictures if the big giants of the industry got together and bullied them.

Even DreamWorks was facing a backlash, even though they were working with Universal and Paramount to distribute their films internationally.

The only way for Grey Pictures to survive was to work under one of the Big Six.

'Kazir is not stupid. He has probably already thought of this...'

Tom Rothman realized that there might be another competition.

'I should ask management to do some research on Grey Pictures and determine its net worth.'

"$1 billion box office is something that is very hard to achieve."

George admitted, and Tom agreed. Making that amount of money was a miracle.

When there were rumors that Kazir might be the director of Star Wars, Natalie Portman was actually excited and hoped that she would have a chance to work with her crush. Yes, the young actress developed a crush on the director after their first meeting.

Unfortunately, Kazir once again chose to direct a movie about a guy who climbs buildings, shoots webs and fights crime.

It made no sense to be honest, Star Wars was a better choice than Spider-Man at that time. Maybe it came down to salary and contract. Because Kazir got a good contract from Sony-Columbia. His salary alone was 25 million dollars. Can you believe that?

......

...

...

"Congratulations, director!"

"Hey Willem, I should congratulate you too. Our movie made it to the top of the box office."

Kazir Grey and Willem Dafoe were having the time of their lives on the set of Spider-Man.

Willem had a huge role in Wanted and it set his career on a great path. Even though his character died early, it was worth it because the fans started to love him.

"Auditioning for Marcus is the best decision I ever made in my life!"

Now some studios were inviting him to work with them. But of course he had to focus on Spider-Man first. Norman Osborn was an interesting character and Willem felt that he could do a good job on the character. Like Kazir, he was dedicated to his art.

The rest of the cast also congratulated them. Tobey Maguire, James Franco and Kirsten Dunst. Kirsten even gave Kazir a gift, a wristwatch, which Kazir was surprised to receive but appreciated.
