Chapter 309

The reason why he went to this party was because some members of the Academy would be there. This was the time to make a better impression so that they would vote for him. So far, he had already met 8 members of the Academy. This was a tiring night for him as he was not an outgoing type.

Also, Angelina was busy tonight because a magazine hired her to model.

Tom Cruise was also absent, the actor was at another party tonight. Even though CAA supported the two, it was better that they did their parts.

If there was one thing that made Kazir uncomfortable, it was the fact that an old man almost touched his butt. Kazir dodged the act and stepped back before the old man could squeeze his ass...

There were a lot of gays and lesbians in this industry, but Kazir didn't expect this kind of sexual harassment to almost happen to him.

'Brendan Fraser, your life has never been easy. I understand why you suffered from long-term depression. These people have no respect for you.' He sighed.

For the record, Brendan Fraser was a victim of sexual assault. In fact, there were a lot of unreasonable and obnoxious people in this industry. They thought they were the king of the world just because they had a high position in the industry, they thought they could bully people.

If something like that happened to Kazir, he knew what to do, he would break the old man's jaw without hesitation.

'Although it might hurt my chances of getting a nomination. But I'll never be bullied like that, then fuck the Oscars.'

The old man realized his mistake and left. Kazir decided to let it go since nothing was going to happen anyway.

"Um, good evening, director."

Kazir turned to find a young woman staring at him. The woman was blushing, perhaps because she was holding a wineglass of alcohol.

From the looks of it, the woman was already 21, which was the legal drinking age in California.

The woman in question was none other than Natalie Portman, the Padme Amidala of Star Wars.

"Hi. We met last time, right?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, I understand director." Natalie Portman was confused as to why Kazir was ashamed of his filmography, but she decided to let it go.

"Um... Umm..." Natalie didn't really have anything in mind to talk to Kazir about.

She was a little drunk and her body just decided to greet Kazir after seeing him. The best greeting she could have planned was to start the conversation by saying that she was a fan and listing all his movies to show that she was a real fan.

But her plan failed and now her brain was trying to process the best move after that.

"I'm a fan..." That was all she could say and her face turned red.

"Thank you, Natalie. I also like your acting in Star Wars and Leon: The Professional."

Leon: The Professional was Natalie Portman's debut film, and she has been getting steady work in the industry ever since.

Natalie was of Jewish descent, which is probably one of the reasons why she has had a steady career.

"I-I, this is my card. Please call me, I mean, please call me if you have a suitable role for me. Director, I want to work with you." She stuttered, she knew she was not doing well in this conversation.

"Okay, Natalie." Kazir accepted her card. He didn't mind Natalie's comments because he thought it was because of the alcohol.

"I think you should stop drinking and contact your agent or parents instead."

From the looks of it, Natalie was still not used to drinking alcohol.

"Yes... Yes!" Natalie left embarrassed, scampering like a cute little hamster.

Kazir put the card in his pocket, he was not sure if he would contact Natalie since he had no role for a young actress like her at the moment. His next project was Pirates of the Caribbean, and Grey Pictures had already contacted the actors who had major roles in that franchise.

Yes, Kazir was confident that this movie would become a franchise.
