The use of digital cameras was getting famous and most production studios prefer to use these cameras instead of old cameras that needed film reels to record videos.
Digital cameras only needed SD cards or DVD discs, but SD card was a popular method.
Of course, Kazir immediately followed these changes since he knew that digital cameras would dominate the industry and people who used traditional cameras and film reels in their projects were just using them for the purpose of novelty.
Now, Grey Pictures didn't have to use a truck to store their film reels while filming out of the studio.
They also didn't have to change the film reels every few minutes since SD cards had bigger storage despite their small sizes.
Films reels or should I films were also used in theaters.
The Big Six and other distributors printed thousands of copies of films and distributed them to Cinema Alliance to release them in thousands of theaters.
Week by week, the number of theaters that screen the movies would decrease and the film reels would return to Big Six.
Then the Big Six would send these film reels to foreign countries to use them in their theaters to screen the movie.
But now, things are getting better. More theaters adapted to using SD cards since they were easier to use, unlike film reels that were big and heavy. IMAX and 3D technology were also becoming popular.
Because of that, distributing movies was now easier.
If 20th Century Fox followed the same procedure, as what they did to X-Men 2, Wanted 2 could also be released in foreign countries at the same time.
Of course, the expenses might be bigger but the company was confident in Wanted 2. This was the franchise that grossed $1 billion at the box office. Surely its sequel would perform perfectly fine.
Kazir thought of it and he didn't have a problem.
"We will prioritize English-speaking countries, most of their theaters already adapted to the new technology."
"That's fine with me."
He knew that this conversation was still not in effect, with no official contract and such. After all, this was a meeting for the preparation of Pirates Of The Caribbean.
As for why Kazir didn't ask for a wide release of Pirates Of The Caribbean, he knew that 20th Century Fox was still skeptical about this movie. They were not confident that spending a lot of money in the initial stage would be good.
The meeting ended and the promotion was set to places.
Even though Kazir just finished the meeting, he didn't have any time to rest. He went to a location to find the set of Game Of Thrones.
Right after he finished the post-production for Pirates Of The Caribbean, the filming of Game Of Thrones officially began.
Kazir was greeted by the crew and cast who were wearing medieval clothing.
He nodded at them, his eyes glanced at Emilia Clarke who dyed his hair silver white. Kazir admitted it, but the woman fit the role just right.
Since the release of Game Of Thrones was earlier than the original timeline, Kazir had to alter some stuff such as the nude scenes. He must not show any dicks, nipples, or private parts that could endanger their rating.
The censorship of TV Networks was quite serious in this era. Unlike two decades later when showing dicks and breasts in TV Shows were the norms... Netflix might be a mild porn site because of their dubious censorship regarding this.
Still, Kazir wanted to keep the original as raw as possible so he might have to film a lot of skin and humping...

July arrived and The Matrix Reloaded hit its break, only making hundreds of thousands per day. The movie was past its peak performance. The overall box office of The Matrix Reloaded was $269.76 million. This was just in North America. The performance internationally was still ongoing, currently making $217 million.
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines was released on July 1, 2003. The movie was starred Arnold Schwarzenegger and distributed by Warner Bros. Unlike the usual midnight Thursday release, Terminator 3 decided to have its release on Tuesday instead, making $4.03 million.
Its first week was amazing, grossing $72.38 million after 5 days of its release.
Warner Bros was happy with the result of Terminator 3. However, they couldn't help but be nervous...
On July 9, Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl would have its premiere. Even though this was a pirate-themed movie, Warner Bros had to take it seriously.
Because the director of this movie was none other than Kazir Grey.
Last year, The Revenant made over $500 million despite not being a mainstream genre. Even if Pirates Of The Caribbean didn't have a popular genre, its performance could still endanger Terminator 3.
The TCL Chinese Theatre was lively tonight as the red carpet was already set.
Reporters were flashing their cameras at the members of the cast who showed up one by one.
The fans of the movie were also waiting for their idols.
Some were fans of Johnny Depp.
Some were fans of Orlando Bloom.
While some were fans of Kazir Grey... They call themselves the Grey Fans. For this premiere, Kazir promised that he would have dinner with his ten loyal fans.
"Woohoo! Kazir, you're so handsome!"
"Kazir, baby! Give me baby!"
Some of the fans cried out as Kazir stepped out of the limousine, wearing a black tuxedo.
Just as usual, Kazir was with his girlfriend, Angelina Jolie. They kept their smiles, despite the deafening screams of the people and the blinding lights.
