Chapter 368

    Universal Pictures was looking for a director for their zombie movie titled Dawn Of The Dead.

    Zombie movies were known as a staple in the movie industry. The list could reach more than one hundred once counted.

    Dawn Of The Dead, was actually a remake of 1978''s version with the same name.

    See, since the 70s, zombie movies have been thriving. This genre might not be highly regarded in the industry but a lot of people would happily consume this content for their worth.

    In the 2004''s version, Universal Pictures decided to hire a new talent Zack Snyder to be the director of this movie.

    This was Zack''s debut movie and it was a box-office hit. The budget was only $26 million but the box office was $102 million.

    The movie grossed around 4 times the production cost. That was obviously a profit. This was Zack Snyder''s first success in the industry and his filmography became better after that.

    The Watchmen

    Man Of Steel

    Batman Vs Superman

    Justice League

    Of course, Zack Snyder also had flopped movies such as Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga''Hoole and Sucker Punch. Overall, Zack Snyder was a talented director.

    But because of Kazir''s interference and his interest in Zack''s filming style, the trajectory of Zack''s life might have changed, for better or worse.

    Zack was unresponsive when he realized that Universal Pictures and Grey Pictures were interested in him.

    He was confused as to why these two famous studios were interested in him. He was just a nobody... He suddenly thought to himself if he did something that caught their attention. He was asking himself what it was exactly.

    Did he do something that made them attracted to him? He didn''t know.

    ......

    ...

    ...

    Nepo baby/babies.

    To be precise, Nepotism babies. A term that was used to describe celebrities whose parents have succeeded in the same careers.

    The two decided to not make things harder and just greeted each other with positive vibes.

    Jon was doing this for his daughter while Kazir was also doing this for Angelina.

    Kazir and Jon started having fun, swinging their golf clubs and walking around the golf course. They used the golf cart when traveling.

    "You know Nicolas Cage, right?"

    "Of course I know him, who doesn''t know Nicolas Cage."

    "I worked with the guy this year and he told me once that he''s a fan of yours. He is interested in working with you."

    "Nicolas is a nice guy."

    "Oh, come on. Just tell me your opinion."

    Kazir shrugged. Nicolas Cage was indeed a famous actor but his career took a nose dive in the next decades. He never had a profitable movie since Ghost Rider.

    Being a director, Kazir didn''t want to hire an actor that could possibly affect his win streak...

    Besides, he knew that Nicolas was scammed by his financial advisor and lost a lot of money.

    ''... Now I suddenly felt terrible. Perhaps if I have a chance, I can work with Nicolas. He is a great guy after all.''

    Now that Kazir confirmed that Nicolas and Jon had a movie together, he realized that the movie they were working on was National Treasure.

    A movie invested by Walt Disney.

    The two spent the day playing golf like it was the best sport in the world.

    When time hit 4 pm, it was time to say their goodbye.

    "Kazir, take care of Angelina. I know she''s a bit childish sometimes but she''s a good girl."

    "I will, sir. I''ll take care of her."

    Kazir smiled and promised.

    One of the reasons why he wanted to form a bond with Jon Voight was that he wanted to propose to Angelina.

    It was still a plan and nothing tangible, he still hadn''t even bought an engagement ring to propose.

    This was all for the assurance that Jon Voight would agree and give him the blessing to marry Angelina.
