Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 102 It’s so cool

Night, Montrose Hotel in West Hollywood.

Aaron was invited to a cocktail party where famous directors Francis Coppola, Martin Scorsese and actors Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Robert De Niro and others were present!
"Are you sure this isn't a gang meeting?"

Aaron and Al Pacino were joking around, and these are all regulars in Hollywood gangster movies.

Al Pacino smiled. The movie "Bugsy" that the other party was filming was indeed a gangster movie!

At this year's Oscars, Martin Scorsese's "Goodfellas" and Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather Part III," both gangster films, lost to rookie director Kevin Costner's western "Dances with Wolves."

"Well, Aaron, you don't have a female companion with you. There are quite a few young girls here."

Aaron nodded. Jennifer Connelly returned to school after spring break, and Nicole Kidman had her own things to do and was not in Los Angeles at the moment!
"Hey, that's Director Coppola's daughter, Sofia Coppola, right?"

Aaron glanced at her, "Because she won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress and Worst New Star for 'The Godfather Part III';"

"What a big blow!"

"The Godfather Part III" grossed $3 million in North America and $6600 million worldwide, falling short of expectations. One of the main accusations against director Coppola by the media was that Sofia Coppola, who performed disastrously, was nepotistic.

Al Pacino also sighed and said helplessly: "Due to widespread criticism from the media, Sofia has decided to retire from film acting!"

Aaron nodded. "That's right. It's good to find a career that suits you."

"Aaron, you are both young people, perhaps you have more common topics?"

Al Pacino said this, patted Aaron on the shoulder and walked away.

"Common topic?" Aaron smiled. Sofia Coppola's looks were totally not good enough and had no appeal to him at all!
"Um, Winona Ryder?"

Aaron saw actress Winona Ryder also came to the cocktail party.

"Hi Winona, good evening!"

"Good evening, Aaron!"

Winona Ryder took the initiative to hug Aaron and kiss him on the cheek, "Thank you for last time."

"It's okay," Aaron shrugged. "You and Director Coppola?"

As everyone knows, Winona Ryder and director Coppola had a disagreement because of the temporary replacement of the supporting actress in "The Godfather 3"!
Winona Ryder smiled and said, "Nothing. There's a script based on Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. When the original director and I were discussing it, he gave it to Director Coppola. He seemed interested in developing it and directing it."

"Dracula?" Aaron remembered it, it was the movie "Dracula"!
The release of "Edward Scissorhands" not only received good reviews, but also achieved a box office of 5600 million US dollars in North America and 8600 million US dollars worldwide;

Winona Ryder is definitely one of the best young female stars today.

The current situation is, have Francis Ford Coppola and Winona Ryder reconciled?
Francis Coppola actually asked Winona Ryder to work with him again?
"Could it be that you are planning to collaborate with Director Coppola on Dracula?"

Winona Ryder nodded and said, "Director Coppola thinks I am suitable for the female lead, and Zoetrope Films has already started preparing for the film!"

Zoetrope Films is the film production company founded by Francis Ford Coppola. The performance of "The Godfather Part III" was very mediocre and did not improve Francis Ford Coppola's financial situation much.
Now we are rushing to develop new projects, Aaron can understand!

"Have you decided on the investors and publisher?"

There is certainly no shortage of Coppola’s works.

Winona Ryder shook her head. "That's not clear yet. Director Coppola has always had a close collaboration with Paramount. Maybe it's Paramount?"

Because it's still just the script stage, Winona really doesn't understand it very well, and she's just an actor, so she doesn't need to think too much. "Aaron, are you interested?"

Winona Ryder certainly knows that Aaron is also a film producer and has invested in and produced several films.

"I'm always interested in Director Coppola's work, but Dawn Pictures doesn't have much funding right now;"

“Also, I already have two or three projects in the pipeline!”

Aaron is indeed interested in Coppola's Dracula, but he still has to focus on his own project;

Besides, Aaron has a lot of plans this year, and there are many places to spend money.

"Really? You're amazing!"

Aaron looked at Winona Ryder and said, "Actually, I'd like to invite you to make a cameo appearance in my next project, which is a collaboration with Mr. Al Pacino;"

"There's a beautiful girl in there who danced the tango with Mr. Al Pacino. I think she'd be perfect for you."

"Tango with Mr. Al Pacino?"

Aaron nodded, "I'm preparing an adaptation of the Italian work Scent of a Woman, with Al Pacino playing a blind retired military officer;"

"There's a major scene where a blind officer dances tango in the hotel lobby, and we need a beautiful actress with a good figure."

"But it's still early. I'll show you the script first!"

"Okay," although Winona Ryder did not agree directly, she was willing to help if the role was not a big problem.

"Dracula? Interesting," Aaron thought to himself after Winona Ryder left.

Shortly after, Aaron left West Hollywood and drove to Sun Valley in North Hollywood, the neighborhood where Salma Hayek lives.

"Aaron, you're here," Salma Hayek was very happy to see Aaron and hugged the man tightly.

"Well, okay, let's go and have a drink!"

Aaron patted the girl in his arms and then went into a Mexican barbecue bar.

Salma Hayek kissed Aaron on the cheek a few times, "It's very Latin American, doesn't it feel different?"

Aaron smiled, took a sip of beer, and looked at the crowd around him. The men were rough and sturdy, and the women were sexy and seductive. "Are there many Mexicans here in Sun Valley?"

"Well, there are quite a few anyway. There are a lot of Latin American restaurants and bars nearby."

After a while, Salma Hayek leaned over to Aaron's ear and said, "There's a great show!"

Aaron also stared at the stage, and sure enough, a sexy Hispanic beauty with a thick golden python around her neck slowly walked onto the stage.

"That's cool! Okay..."

Aaron clapped his hands directly. This is the wild beauty. Mexican folk music sounded, and the sexy beauty danced with the golden python. It was beautiful and exciting!

Salma Hayek sat in Aaron's arms and put her arms around the man's neck, "Actually, I can do that too."

"is it?"

"Hmm..." As he said that, Aaron kissed the girl in his arms directly on the lips!
