Making a movie was not simple. Preparing for a movie was also not simple.

Before a movie could even happen, it needed a concept and ideas. In short, it needed a script.

Most of the time, a production studio would hire a group of writers and a scriptwriter to lead the creation of the plot. Because Wyatt was the only head of this script-making, they didn't have anyone to polish or edit it... They were keeping their expenses small to make sure ...

Kazir's horror movie.

Which studio should acquire Kazir's horror movie?

The filming of Shadows Beneath didn't have much of a problem. However, the production crew faced a problem regarding the budget.

You see, the crew had to work against time and props.

The announcement of this project was abrupt and they have to finish the filming within two to three months... They couldn't help but blame Kazir for that. Still, money is money, and they couldn't deny that their salaries were quite good, so they were not bitter. <...

"What the hell, Jennifer? What are you even thinking? Why do you think you have to suck a cock? Are you affected by your last movie role?"

Collin gulped his water as he almost coughed when Jennifer asked something stupid.

Working in this industry for years, Collin had an idea about what Jennifer was talking about.

Casting Couch.

Collin had been a model before changing career and he knew that some of the models had to have sex wi...

"Henry, your accent is showing. Repeat that line again."

Henry Cavill nodded and looked at Megan Fox, he grabbed her shoulders and shook her to calm her down. Megan was screaming after what she experienced. She saw an illusion where she was tied to a bed while the doctors experimented on her body.

"You're doing great." Kazir nodded and gave it a passing mark. Three days from now, they will start the filming.

Jennifer and Collin bought the tickets and found seats. They started watching the movie. The movie they were watching was a romance movie. It was a mid-budget movie; the production cost was $10 million.

Collin had a friend in the production crew who helped him insert Jennifer into the movie.

His client's role was a homeless hobo that asked for $20 in exchange for a blowjob... Her scene was in the first part of the movie.

Kazir had heard of each actor that Everest said. He knew them because would become famous in the next decade.

'Let's see, it's understandable that they are still not famous. After all, they are just starting in the industry.'

If there was one thing that caught him off guard, he didn't expect that these four would actually work with him for a small-budget horror movie that he had written.

It was an honor, but at the same time, it was a pr...

Some of the crew members signed up while others decided to take a rest for the year.

Kazir had a trauma that he wanted to overcome. In his past life, he spent his whole career making horror movies. They were all failures at the box office.

There were so many movies released in the year. His horror movies could only secure dozens of theaters to release his movies and none of them brought profit.

Still, making horror movies was profitable. He sold his movies and made a million that way, he also received residual income from his m...

The deal ended in just one meeting. Collin and Wyatt didn't expect this kind of situation at all. They thought the investor would ask for more benefits.

Collin was even ready to convince William, he was ready to lie. He knew that it was hard for them to find an investment so he had to use all of the means to convince William.

Yet the young guy easily agreed. He didn't even ask for further deals. As if William didn't take it seriously.

William looked at Wyatt. It was normal for the investor to be interested in the director of the movie. After all, the director was usually the key to determining if the movie would be successful or not.

Taken 3 was an amazing movie and almost all of the audience were affected by it. There was something about the movie that affected their hearts. Perhaps because they witnessed how people lost their loved ones. Perhaps because they realized the true danger of nuclear attack.

Taken 3 was the type of movie that Hollywood and the military loved to promote. Hollywood loved promoting anti-war propaganda. They didn't like war, like most of the people.
