Hollywood What If Chapter 477
"Tch, arrogant prick. Just because he got lucky and landed a role in Lord of the Rings, he's acting like he's better than me now. His recent movies aren't that great either. Pwe--!"
Aquino spat out the bad taste in his mouth. He had been left behind by Orlando Bloom as the actor went to his trailer without listening to his request.
"Well, I'm on the set of Pirates of the Caribbean, and there are so many famous people here... Maybe I can convince them to introduce me to their agents. Hehe, I heard there are some beautiful actresses too."
It was true that Aquino had some connections with Universal Pictures... He had been the boy toy of an executive producer. However, their relationship ended when the executive producer realized that Aquino was sleeping with women.
"Hehe, it's showtime, baby. Let's see if I can seduce some actresses this time. Johnny Depp's girlfriend is not bad, Keira Knightley is such a beauty. Oh, I remember, Scarlett Johansson sometimes visits the set to meet the director. Hehe."
He was rubbing his hands as he turned around. He was smiling at first, but his expression turned sour when he realized that someone was standing behind him.
It was a tall person, over six feet. Based on his stature and muscular build, he probably went to the gym at least twice a week. The man was handsome, and Aquino believed that he could become an actor if he wanted to.
The person behind him was Kazir Grey.
"G-Good morning, Director," Aquino stuttered. He was scared shitless. He hoped that Kazir hadn't heard what he said.
"You're fired. Pack your bags and leave," Kazir muttered. He wasn't joking. He had heard everything Aquino said, and he wasn't happy at all.
He actually wanted to punch the guy.
When Aquino said that he wanted to try seducing Amber Heard, Kazir had almost nodded his head.
However, the extra then started talking about Keira Knightley, who was an important actress in the franchise. And he also mentioned Scarlett Johansson. Kazir didn't need to hear an explanation, Aquino had to leave.
"I-I, Director, let me explain—"
Kazir contacted the guards to kick out the unknown extra. Aquino was grabbed by the security guards. The incident caused a bit of a ruckus but was quickly forgotten.
From that point on, Aquino was blacklisted from Grey Pictures and 20th Century Fox.
Kazir clicked his tongue as he looked around. He admitted that he might have made a mistake this time.
The set was filled with handsome men... It didn't help that they were at the beach and most of them were showing off their physiques.
When Kazir became determined to destroy Amber Heard's chances of breaking into Hollywood, he had decided to start cooking up a plan.
He talked to the casting directors about hiring handsome actors as extras... The casting directors gave Kazir a weird look, but they didn't ask why. They trusted the director.
Kazir wanted to use these men to seduce Amber Heard and possibly destroy her relationship with Johnny Depp.
So far, the plan seemed to be working because he sometimes saw Amber biting her lips while staring at the extras.
The problem also arose when the female crew members and the extras started flirting. It affected the mood on the set.
"...Should I stop it?"
Amber Heard was still getting lovey-dovey with Johnny Depp. The woman only had a small role in Pirates of the Caribbean, and she hoped that her boyfriend would introduce her to better jobs, perhaps starring roles in future movies.
That explained why the woman was still on the set, even though her scenes were already finished.
"Shut the fuck up!"
Suddenly, a commotion happened and caught the attention of everyone nearby.
Johnny Depp came out of his trailer, followed by Amber Heard. The woman was crying as she tried to touch Johnny's shoulder, but the actor, still in his pirate costume, moved away from her.
"Babe, I'm sorry. Let me explain."
"You don't have to explain anything. I know what you did. You think I didn't notice how you've been staring at those extras with lust."
"Please, listen to me," she tried to approach him, but Johnny just stared.
"I also know that you've been flirting with James Franco!"
'Damn, it happened already?' Kazir was surprised. He knew that James Franco and Amber Heard had a history while the woman was still married.
"We're just friends!" she sobbed.
"Yeah, right. And you know what, my maid said that you shit in my fucking bed!"
"My dog stepped on a bee!"
Johnny was fuming with anger.
"We're done."
"No~ Baby, don't do this to me! I need you."
Johnny glanced at Kazir, and the director nodded. Immediately, two guards restrained the sobbing woman and kicked her off the set.
Many people witnessed what happened.
Kazir grabbed his megaphone.
"I just want to remind everyone that you signed a non-disclosure agreement. Make sure to make the right decision."
The crowd dispersed after that.
Kazir approached Johnny. The actor was in bad condition and found a chair to sit on.
"Man, if you need rest, I can give you a week."
Even though he wanted Amber and Johnny to separate, he didn't want to negatively affect Johnny's mental state. After all, he needed the actor to finish the project.
"It's fine. I don't want to affect others just because I feel sad. There are so many people who will suffer if I take a week off."
"Thanks, Johnny. I appreciate your goodwill. Still, you can take today off to calm your nerves. We can film the other scenes while you're resting. Just return tomorrow."
"Yeah, that will do."
Johnny excused himself.
'...I didn't expect that they would break up just like that.' Kazir said to himself as he watched Johnny return to his trailer to remove his makeup.
It was too fast. But Kazir felt good knowing that he had prevented a scandal from blowing up. At least this time, Amber Heard was still a nobody, and the damage she could do to Johnny was minimal.
