Chapter 319

"What do you think? It looks cool, right?"

Harold Witsend was a bit enthusiastic as he showed Kazir the pirate ship. The two of them were in a huge warehouse that Grey Pictures rented for large props like a 100-foot-long ship.

Before he was a producer, Harold was the head of the props crew. He has a strong artistic sense, so he fell in love with the pirate ship the first time he saw it.

Harold found a company that made wooden boats and wooden ships. Some of their products were for art galleries.

Harold hired them to build a real and working pirate ship and they didn't disappoint Harold. Seeing the beautiful ship, Harold realized that returning to the props team might not be bad...

Although he was mature enough to understand that his current position and salary were far more important to his current life. After all, he had a family to support. He sighed, then got surprised, then sad, then became happy after looking at the ship.

"What do you think, it's great, isn't it? We haven't used it at sea yet, but the company assures us that it works well."

Kazir touched his chin and inspected the ship. It was large, but not super large compared to modern ships. Kazir admitted that it looked amazing, but he wanted something old.

"... Make it old, I want it to look like it's been floating in the sea for hundreds of years. I want a pirate ship, no, a ghost ship might be a better term."

"What? How much more should we spend?"

Having been a producer for so many years, Harold had become sensitive about spending.

"As long as it looks good, I have no problem spending money. Oh, I told you, I need about 10 of these ships. I want them before April."

"... Fine."

The company had already built some of the ships, and their production speed could catch up before filming. Harold just felt that it was painful to turn these brand new ships into old, greasy pirate ships. But a few months later when he saw the finished products, he realized that ghost ships were not so bad. Old ships had something unique about them.

"That's good to hear. Lower their salaries as much as possible, we both know that if this movie is a success-"

"I know, I know. You're going to turn it into a franchise with multiple sequels. So it will be better if they have lower salaries as a starting point."

"I'm glad you understand."

"Of course..."

Ring Ring--!

Suddenly Harold Witsend received a phone call. He opened the phone and his expression turned cold when he saw the caller's name.

"Harold, are you all right?"

"Ah, yes, let me take this call for a few minutes."

Harold excused himself and Kazir was left alone. He studied the pirate ship. He admitted that the design was cool, but they looked brand new. It was still a prototype and the company had plenty of time to make adjustments.

"Too bad, because some of these ships will have to be destroyed. One was eaten by an octopus, the others were destroyed in battle with the Flying Dutchman...".

Kazir admitted that they might have to waste a lot of props for this project.

A few minutes later, Harold showed up, but his expression was no better. Kazir tried to ask the man about it, but Harold said it was a private matter.

The two continued to inspect the props for the project. Although Kazir sensed that something was wrong with Harold.
