Chapter 267
Viggo Mortensen received so much applause from the fans who watched him walk down the red carpet. He still had shoulder-length hair and a short beard. He was John Wick.
He looked around and noticed that behind the reporters who kept clicking their cameras, there were a bunch of people who looked just like him...
It was like he found his twin... So many twins. The fans wore black suits. They have shoulder-length hair and beards, just like him. They were a bunch of clones.
Viggo heard that some fans of the Continental Cinematic Universe were invited to the premiere, so Viggo was calm about it.
He could see that these people loved John Wick because they were wearing his outfit.
After modeling for the reporters and being interviewed, Viggo entered the theater.
The first person he found was Kazir Grey. Viggo had so much respect for this guy.
Kazir was an honorable and talented person. Viggo admitted that this director was the one who gave him a career. And he was grateful for that.
So he approached the guy to express his gratitude.
Kazir saw Viggo approaching and sighed.
"Viggo, if you say, 'Thank you for casting me,' I'm going to sucker punch you.
He had heard that line from Viggo so many times that he was tired of it.
Viggo was surprised at first, then shrugged.
"I just wanted to congratulate you, Spider-Man is a box office hit."
"Glad to hear it."
Kazir nodded.
"I hear The Lord of the Rings is coming out in December."
"That's right."
"Hire a bodyguard. Or hire an assistant who can be a bodyguard."
"Should I?"
"Such things should be taken seriously. Lock your door, always."
"Yes, I started doing that after the incident."
The two were silent for a few seconds.
"I think The Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Rings will be successful."
Kazir muttered confidently.
"It's comforting to hear that from you. I'm nervous about The Lord of the Rings. I spent two years in New Zealand just to be a part of this project. I was also a fan of the novel, and it's an honor to be part of the cast, no, it's an honor to be Aragorn. But sometimes I can't help but be nervous. Maybe if someone like you are the one directing this movie, I'll be 100% confident. A lot of small and big problems happened during the filming of this movie. I'm not even sure if there will be a sequel."
"Am I really that great?"
"That's right. Your presence is enough to make things better."
"Damn..."
Kazir was speechless and a bit embarrassed. The flattery was too much.
"How is it working with Fremont? This is his second movie."
Fremont Smith was invited by Disney to direct John Carter, but Fremont turned the offer down.
The last time Kazir heard from John Carter, filming was underway, with a possible release next year.
"He's doing well. He swears sometimes, but overall he is fine." Viggo said of Fremont.
"If a director doesn't swear once in a while, he's not a director."
Cursing was already part of the English language. "Fuck" has so many meanings that people sometimes used it to praise someone, like: "Fuck, you're so beautiful." Or "You're a fucking genius!" Or "Fuck me in the ass, you big stud!"
