"Do you love me or not?" Mary Jane asked an important question, staring at Peter Parker.
"I..." Peter Parker paused, he didn't know how to respond.
Mary Jane was waiting for his answer, hoping to hear "yes".
"I... don't."
Peter looked down, with his eyeglasses, becoming a bit blurry.
Mary Jane looked disappointed.
"You don't," she said back to him.
"Um, excuse me. But here's your order. A cup of latte and cappuccino. Have a great day!"
Their conversation stopped when a woman in her 30s put their orders on the table. She smiled at them before leaving.
Mary Jane bit her lip and closed her eyes for a second. Then, she stared at Peter.
"Kiss me," she said.
"Kiss you?"
"I need to know something. Just one kiss." She touched Peter's hand.
The two closed their eyes and their lips slowly came closer.
Unfortunately, right before their lips touched, Peter's spider-sense started acting up!
A fucking car dived into the restaurant!
The glass wall cracked as the car crashed into the restaurant, destroying the property.
Peter grabbed Mary Jane and protected her from the danger. The debris flew everywhere.
The waitress screamed and started running away as she witnessed the destruction.
"Cut-!"
Kazir uttered and the performance stopped. Based on his reaction, he had no intention of reshooting the scene. Probably because the performance was on point.
The crew members clapped their hands, congratulating the cast and extras who participated in the scene.
Even Brianna was congratulated.
"Ma'am, I'm a fan. I want to say that you're an amazing actress." Kirsten said to Brianna.
"Thanks. You too, you're an amazing actress." She replied.
If this happened seven years ago, Brianna might be over the top in celebration. Becoming a background in a big-budget movie was a huge accomplishment for a nobody like her. Especially when the movie was directed by Kazir Grey.
This was enough to boost her credentials as an actress.
But now, Brianna already reached the top and she was recognized as one of the most talented actresses in the industry.
Brianna saw Kazir talking to Alfred Molina, probably about the next scene. Because Dr. Octopus was the one responsible for throwing the car into the restaurant.
"Okay, let's take a break."
A few minutes later, Kazir announced the lunch break. People needed to eat to gain energy. Kazir understood the importance of eating at the right time so he would make sure that the crew and the cast would have the time to eat and rest.
Furthermore, Kazir was also hungry.
"Brianna, let's eat together. I'm sure you're interested in the script I talked about earlier."
"Yes, director." Despite being both clients of Salvatore, Brianna still showed respect to Kazir.
After all, directors like Kazir had a higher status than Brianna. Also, Kazir was the person who introduced Brianna to Salvatore. She would never forget that goodwill.
"By the way, your acting is on point. I thought like you're really a waitress."
"I worked in a restaurant as a waitress before auditioning for Taken. I have experience."
The two found a restaurant near the studio... This restaurant also had some crew members eating. This was one of the nearest restaurants in the studio so it was obvious why some of the crew members were eating here.
The crew greeted Kazir, Brianna, Erica, and Anderson.
"I want two bacon sandwiches and cold water," Kazir said to the waiter.
"That's also my order." Brianna followed.
While waiting for their orders, Kazir decided to give the script to Brianna.
"Actually, I have two scripts here for you. It depends on what you like to choose."
Kazir gave her two documents. One with the title of La La Land, and the second had the title of Nomadland.
Brianna looked at the two documents and then stared at Kazir.
The guy chuckled and explained.
"Fremont Smith is interested in filming an art film, to compete at the Academy Awards. However, he can't find a good script that will help him. You know, the Academy Awards is very picky. So I decided to help him and wrote these scripts."
Kazir was now a master in lying.
"La La Land is a musical. While Nomadland is about a woman who travels around the country with her van."
Brianna felt like the characters of these two scripts had no mental illness... Which was a big factor in winning an Oscar statue. You see, the members of the AMPAS(Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences) had a thing with psychotic characters, especially when the said characters were based on real life.
Charlize Theron as Aileen Wuornos, a prostitute serial killer.
Heath Ledger as the Joker. A fictional character but had a strong impact on the comic industry. Joker is the definition of insanity.
Natalie Portman as Nina Sayers in the movie Black Swan. A ballerina who slowly loses her sense of reality and falls into madness.
The list just keeps going on...
Anyway, Brianna didn't know that Kazir had no intention of giving her a dangerous role. However, he also knew that Brianna was interested in winning the Oscar.
This was the best thing he could do.
"You can only choose one. Since you have experience working with Fremont once, I'm sure that you know his ability. You can convince him to join you in this endeavor."
"..."
Brianna was silent. Her heart was actually beating fast. These two scripts were created by Kazir Grey! One of the best screenwriters in the industry!
"Each of these two had their pros and cons so choose wisely... Ah, you also have to sign an NDA if you want to take the scripts. You know, for security."
If people knew that Kazir wrote two new scripts, the Big Six might kick the door of the Writer's Guild just to get a copy. This kind of method was frowned upon, but the Big Six were powerful enough to disregard the consequences
