Hollywood What If Chapter 456

"There's a role in Pirates Of The Caribbean about an Asian Pirate Captain. We still haven't found an actor to fill the role since he's going to show up in the third movie. Since you talked about finding your place in Hollywood, how about taking that role? Show that you can act."

Appearance was the first factor to win in Hollywood for actors and actresses. The second factor was connections with people. The third was acting.

Enzo already checked the two. He was handsome and he also had an agent that could help him form a network in the industry.

As for acting, Kazir knew that the Korean actor could act. He worked with him, after all.

However, his acting was getting overshadowed by his appearance and stunts.

Kazir planned to butcher Captain Sao's face to the fact that no one would recognize that the one who was acting was Enzo Park. In that way, the audience would recognize Enzo as an actor, not a pretty face who can do stunts.

"... You're still not in. You have to go to the audition. I'm just showing you the path but you have to trudge on it. If you fail our requirements, let's forget this conversation."

Enzo naturally agreed. They were hiring him for his acting capability, not his face. So if his acting didn't pass their criteria, then he was not meant for the role.

"Oh, and you have a bald head so it's your decision if you want to cut your hair or use a prosthetic wig instead."

A prosthetic wig might not be the term. It should be a bald cap prosthetic makeup.

"Yeah, I'm not even surprised." Enzo laughed.

The two started talking and laughing. They might not be considered that close, but they were friends for sure. Whenever they meet, they greet each other with a smile.

Kazir was different from most directors, he was well respected but he was also approachable. He liked it when actors asked him for advice and guidance.

There was something about him. Perhaps it was the fact that from the bottom of his heart, Kazir wanted everyone around him to be happy.

Kazir tapped Enzo's shoulder.

"Man, you don't have to worry. I will make you the most famous Asian actor in Hollywood. No, we will help you become the most famous Asian actor in Hollywood. We've been in the industry for more than a decade, our influence is not that simple anymore."

First, their agent was now one of the Co-Chairmen of CAA. That was an influential position that could change the future of a person. This was the reason why there were so many actresses and even actors who wanted to offer sexual favors to Salvatore Barlowe. His position alone was enough to determine their careers.

Second, Enzo was close with two big directors which were Kazir and Fremont. With them around, Enzo didn't have to be afraid of losing jobs.

Third, well, the two reasons were enough justification that Enzo had it better than most Asian actors in Hollywood.

Perhaps his luck happened when he signed the contract with Salvatore before Kazir joined their group.

At that time, the reason that convinced Enzo Park, or to be precise Park Hae-Won, was because of what Salvatore said. Salvatore said that he wanted to see a Korean actor make it big in Hollywood.

Park Hae-Won was just starting in Hollywood at that time and he didn't know where to start and what to start. Yet what Salvatore said resonated in his heart. Maybe this was the reason why Enzo was so adamant about finding a place in Hollywood.

By the way, both Enzo Park and Salvatore Barlowe were half Koreans.

"Thanks, director. I feel better now."

"Kid, you have time, so don't feel pressured. Men age like fine wine for a reason. I bet once you hit your 40s, you will get a better career."

This was not a baseless opinion. Most men hit their peak in terms of career and financial status around their 40s. They have experience, expertise, and accumulated knowledge that helped them.

Actors such as Samuel Jackson, Steve Carell, Tommy Lee Jones, Jeremy Renner, Terry Crews, and Peter Dinklage became famous around their 40s.

"... It's because we are not that different in age. I'm just younger than you for a few years."

"Yeah, I know about it. Sometimes I just can't help but forget my age." Kazir honestly said. Because of his true age, he sometimes acted like an old, mature man who had experienced everything in life. One of the reasons why he was not affected by most situations and faced them instead.

After that conversation, Enzo felt better and decided to have fun.

Kazir watched as the "younger" actor stopped thinking about negative stuff.

The party went on. Then, Fremont returned after mingling with the guests.

"Phew, hosting a party is hard. I can't believe this small gathering is 'small!' I feel like hosting a party for a hundred people is not a small party at all."

"That's why I don't like parties."

"Nah, I like parties but not hosting one. It's too much work. Oh, but I can't deny that I have fun. Hehe, I'm actually excited. Someone invited me to attend Diddy's party!"

"Kahak--!" Kazir choked. He started coughing.

"Kazir, are you okay?"

"No, I'm fine. Can you repeat what you said?"

"I'm invited to Diddy's party, isn't that great? I heard his party is amazing."

"... Diddy, you mean Sean John Combs?"

Kazir's expression didn't feel right. There was a reason why.

"You don't have to call him by his real name. He is known as Diddy, Puff Daddy, or P. Diddy."

'Yes, he is also known as the Diddler, if you know what I mean.' Kazir internally said.

"Fremont, if you want to keep your career, I advise you to stay away from Diddy and any of his parties. If you heard that the party is hosted by Diddy, I recommend you leave that party immediately!" He raised his voice in the last part.

"Huh, but why? I heard there's no party like Diddy's party?"

'There's no party like Diddy's party because of a reason. The only parties that can be compared to Diddy's parties are the parties happening on Jeffrey Epstein's island. That's not okay at all.'

"Allegedly" Diddy regularly hosted 'sex-trafficking parties' with underage women and illegal drugs.

That's disgusting as fuck.
