Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 10 A Video Store
In Aaron's apartment in West Hollywood.

Nicole Kidman came and knocked on the door early in the morning.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Why don't you just call me?" Aaron welcomed the other party into the house in a somewhat listless manner.

"I'm going to wash up. There's something to drink in the fridge, just help yourself. If you want coffee, make it yourself..."

Nicole Kidman was stunned. Is this how to treat guests?
Just as he opened his mouth to say something, he saw that the other person had already gone into the bathroom.

More than ten minutes later, Aaron Anderson, who had finished washing up, came to Nicole and asked, "Tell me, what brings you here so early in the morning?"

Nicole Kidman held her forehead with her hand. "You were the one who informed me about the preview. It's the screening that Warner Bros. is holding for Over the Horizon!"

"That was in the evening, it's still early now," Aaron glanced at the woman, "Can you please stop doubting my professionalism?"

Nicole Kidman was helpless, "It's been more than half a month since you signed me, and you haven't even called to ask about my career!"

It's not just Nicole Kidman, but Steven Soderbergh as well. Aaron doesn't bother to care about it. After all, both of them are newcomers and don't have many activities.
Aaron shook his head and went into the study to get a few pages of paper. "This is a romantic comedy that Disney is preparing. I'm quite optimistic about the story. I'm also trying to figure it out."

Nicole Kidman took it and looked at it, "This shouldn't be a script, right?"

"It's not complete. Disney will not release such a script. The script must be revised," Aaron shook his head. The competition in Hollywood nowadays is too fierce. It's really impossible to be the heroine without some connections.

"I heard that you seemed to have bought a script yourself," Nicole Kidman said with burning eyes. She is a nobody now, but if it is her agent's project, can the heroine still escape?

"That's what I kept for my own development. Where do I have the resources now?"

Aaron is just a newcomer and has no fame now, but after Steven Soderbergh's "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" becomes a blockbuster at the Cannes Film Festival, Aaron's reputation in the circle will definitely increase!

"Well, for this project, can you help me get an audition opportunity?" Nicole Kidman waved a few pages of paper in her hand.

Aaron nodded and said, "Okay, I've been working on this project recently, don't worry!"

"Let's go out and have something to eat, and I'll take you to change your look."

Aaron really couldn't stand Nicole Kidman's curly hair.

"Doesn't my hair look good?"

"Well, it doesn't match your looks and figure!"

"Aaron, you have great qualities, why don't you develop into an artist?"

"I can't stand the anger..."

At noon, Aaron took Nicole Kidman to a styling shop, and after stating some requirements, they prepared to go out for a walk.

"Nicole, do your hair first, I'll come pick you up later!"

"OK……"

Afterwards, Aaron came out of the store and found a small video store nearby, so he went in.

Today's video stores mainly sell and rent movie videotapes and laser discs, and music includes vinyl records, CDs, and tapes;
There isn't a wide variety of movies and singers.

"Wow, ha," Aaron suddenly heard the sound of the TV coming from the counter and walked over to take a look.

Hey, Hong Kong Kung Fu movie, in front of the TV, a young man with a very unusual appearance was staring at the TV screen intently. "Oh, sir, do you need any help?" The visitor heard the voice and stood up to greet the customer, it seems that he had not forgotten his duties.

Aaron blinked his eyes. This appearance was too abstract. Wasn't it just Quentin Tarantino?
However, Quentin is not even 30 years old now, but he is indeed ugly!

"This is an old-fashioned Hong Kong kung fu movie. I didn't expect that anyone in the United States would like it?" Aaron laughed and pointed to the videotape on TV.

"Yes, I really like it. This is a production by Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong. I really like this kind of macho and hard-hitting scenes!"

Aaron nodded. "That's pretty good. Hollywood is number one in film exports right now, and Hong Kong is number two. Remember, Hong Kong only has a population of six million."

Hollywood now produces about 400 to 500 movies a year, and it is estimated that half of them can be released in theaters!
"Oh, it seems you know something about Hong Kong movies?"

“Not bad,” Aaron said, holding out his hand. “My agent at CAA, Aaron Anderson!”

The other party was stunned for a moment, "You are a CAA agent!"

I shook Aaron's hand and said, "Hello, I'm Quentin Tarantino, a movie lover."

"Well, I see, working in a video store allows you to watch as many movies as you want. It's a good idea," Aaron said as he looked at her. He knew how to choose a job.

"Well," Quentin Tarantino looked at Aaron awkwardly, "can your agent also promote the script?"

"Of course, two months ago, I helped a new director promote a film called 'Sex, Lies, and Videotape' at the St. Denis Film Festival. It will be exhibited in Cannes in May. You can keep an eye on it!"

Aaron said nonchalantly.

"Well, I've made short films myself before and have come up with a script. Would you like to take a look?"

"Uh, can you write scripts?" Aaron looked at Quentin Tarantino deliberately.

Quentin Tarantino nodded. "I've conceived two scripts. Would you like to see them?"

"Okay," Aaron handed the other party a business card and said, "When you are ready, call me and show it to me. I will help you sell it.

"If possible, you can sign with me. If you sell the script, I can support you in making movies and becoming a director in the future!"

Quentin Tarantino nodded quickly, his face full of joy, "Next month, I can finish the two scripts and show them to you then;"

"My dream is to make movies and be a director to produce works I like!"

"Well, everyone must have dreams," Aaron said, patting the other person's shoulder. "You can check my news. I should have been mentioned in the newspaper about this year's Saint Denis Film Festival."

"Don't worry, it's good enough that you can help me sell the script," Quentin Tarantino deliberately sent Aaron out of the video store.

"See you later, prepare the script well, I will support you to be a director in the future," Aaron waved to Quentin Tarantino at the door.

"See you later!" Quentin Tarantino was obviously excited.

After leaving the video store, Aaron pinched his face, a Nicole Kidman, plus a Quentin Tarantino;

Am I in good luck now?
