Chapter 279

"I-I'm sorry!"

Jennifer realized she had made a mistake. She had met Kazir twice, and the first impression the man made was not appealing.

However, when she met the man this time, she realized that Kazir was actually tall and fit. He was domineering. As the audition began, Jennifer began to lose her concentration and forgot her line. She couldn't help but be aware of the man in front of her.

"That's okay, Miss Connelly. We can wrap up the audition here."

Doug Liman announced and Jennifer immediately stepped back. She had a slight blushing face.

After the audition, Doug Liman began to ask Jennifer about the trilogy and cameo contract and her interest in physical training.

Jennifer said yes to everything and left the room... She realized that she probably won't get the part because she made mistakes. She sighed.

"... So who should we choose?"

The one who asked this was Harold Witsend. He had an artistic sense because he was once a prop master. In his opinion, all four actresses were beautiful and attractive. They were right for the part.

"Naomi Watts and Charlize Theron seem promising."

Doug Liman said, and Kazir agreed. Both directors had the same thought.

"Harold, who do you think we should cast?"

"Well, I think I'm going to go with Jennifer Connelly."

"Why?" Kazir asked curiously. Kazir had good impression of the actress but it won't affect his decision making.

"How should I put it... Her career is not that good compared to the other three. We can hire her for a cheap salary."

"..."

Kazir realized that Harold was starting to become a real producer. The guy was basing his opinion on the budget!

"She's beautiful, she can act, and her status is not that high. Definitely someone we can exploit."

'Woah woah woah, Harold, you're going too far. I take my opinion back, you're a real producer now.' Kazir touched his chin.

He disagreed with Harold's thought process, but it was true that Jennifer had a lower salary than the others.

'Naomi Watts' career would take off after the success of Mulholland Drive. She would be in King Kong, The Ring, Le Divorce and other films. If we cast her, her next salary could be at least $5 million.' He calculated.

Charlize Theron and Cate Blanchett were the same way.

Of course, Cameron didn't like it at first, but she understood that the plot made sense... She hoped to stay on the project for a long time. Maybe she had another reason.

When Kazir attended the script reading, he saw Matt Damon talking to Paul Greengrass. Then his eyes were fixed on Cameron Diaz.

"..."

He expected to meet her today, but she didn't expect Cameron to be so beautiful. It was as if she had really prepared herself and picked out the best dress.

Her makeup, her slim figure, and her dress. Everything was perfect.

Kazir admitted that Cameron Diaz was the goddess of the '90s and early 2000s.

'I can't believe I broke up with her. Well, she's a nice woman, but I failed to open my heart to her. I was still scared back then.'

He swallowed hard for obvious reasons.

When Cameron noticed that Kazir had arrived, she rose from her seat and gave the most charming smile. She approached him and greeted him bubbly.

"Good morning director, I know it's late but congratulations on your latest movie Spider-Man. I hear it's going to top $900 million."

She reached for a handshake.

"Thanks, you too, Cam- Cameron, Charlie's Angels and Vanilla Sky did well. I hear Charlie's Angels is getting a sequel."

Kazir almost said "Cam," which was too endearing. He felt he should be formal since this was a job and they had been separated for almost four years. Besides, Kazir was currently dating Angelina.

He shook her hand. Kazir felt her firm yet soft hand gently squeeze him.

Cameron giggled.

"As expected, you're still serious. Maybe that's what I like about you."

She left after that, but Kazir felt like she was messing with him.
