Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 115 Youth Hormones

At night, at a nightclub in Hollywood.

Aaron brought Jennifer Connelly, Quentin Tarantino, and Jack Wells along for the fun.

"I have already talked to actors like Harvey Keitel and Michael Madsen, and they are all very willing to play in Reservoir Dogs;"

"I think the filming will start in less than two months!"

Quentin Tarantino is extremely excited as he is finally about to start working on his first feature film.

Jack Wells inquired, "It should be filmed in Los Angeles, right?"

"Yes, there aren't too many scenes. The main story takes place in a warehouse, and the exterior location is in the neighborhood of Los Angeles."

Aaron hugged Jennifer Connelly and asked in confusion, "Quentin, aren't there any female characters in Reservoir Dogs?"

Quentin Tarantino smiled and said, "I don't think so. Will Ms. Connery be in it?"

Before Jennifer Connelly could say anything, Aaron shook his head and said, "Oh, she's not suitable. Just shoot it the way you want!"

Aaron then whispered in Jennifer Connelly's ear, "Just wait until you're ready to film Speed."

A while later, on the dance floor, Jennifer Connelly hugged Aaron and danced closely. "Isn't Quentin a talent you value? Why didn't you let me play the role in Reservoir Dogs?"

Aaron hugged the girl and whispered, "There are no female characters in the story, and the important characters are the robbers. Even if a female character is added, it would just be a replacement for the police officer."

"It won't be a big boost to your career!"

"Well, okay, I'll listen to you and wait for you to develop "Speed."

"Of course," the strong smell of hormones made the two of them kiss passionately!

Soon, Aaron Anderson pulled Jennifer Connelly out of the bar and into a car in the parking lot.

"Honey, it won't be long before I have to go back to school!"

Jennifer Connelly lay on the man, hugging him tightly, with a dazed look on her face.

"It's okay, I'll come find you then!"

Aaron said, hugging the person in his arms tightly...

With the hit release of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, it accumulated $10 million in 9000 days, and by late July, it had grossed $1.15 million in three weeks;

And "Ghost", which was released for a month and a half, also reached 1.2 million US dollars!
As for the overseas market, "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" was screened in many countries and broke the $2 million mark in just half a month;
The overseas market for "Ghost" has just exceeded 100 million yuan.

Because the distribution contract that Aaron negotiated with Columbia at the time stipulated a 5000% distribution commission for films under $15 million;
For $5000 million to $1 million, the issuance commission is 12%!
Therefore, after deducting $1 million in publicity and promotion expenses from the $1500 million box office in North America, Dawn's share was $2300 million;
After investing $150 million in Quentin Tarantino's film "Reservoir Dogs", Dawn still had $600 million left in its account.

Aaron leaned back in his chair and sighed, saying that there was indeed not enough money to spend!

The film "Sleepless in Seattle" has a production budget of $2000 million and is the first crew to start filming;
In addition, Spielberg's "Schindler's List" is also expected to start shooting at the end of the year, and the shooting cost will be no less than 2000 million US dollars.

CAA's packaged project "Indecent Proposal" will also start filming soon, with a production cost of $2500 million.

After deducting the cost of Sleepless in Seattle, there was still $900 million left in the account, and Aaron was going to Venice next month. Afterwards, Aaron called producer Steven Reuther and asked, "Have you confirmed the actors for the young couple in Indecent Proposal?"

"We all think Demi Moore is a good choice for the female lead, but we are still selecting the actor who will play the husband."

"What are the alternative actors?"

"Johnny Depp, Tim Robbins, Alec Baldwin, and many more."

Aaron curled his lips. Would Johnny Depp take on such a role?

But it doesn’t matter anymore, the main thing is the elderly wealthy actor Robert Redford and his young and sexy wife Demi Moore!
"It seems like Robert Redford is going to direct the biopic A River Runs Through It?"

Aaron inquired.

"It doesn't matter. Mr. Redford has been preparing for 'A River Runs Through It' for several years, and now 'Indecent Proposal' is about to start filming. He can shoot this one first."

"Director Adrian Lyne thought that Redford looked kind and not a villain, which was very consistent with the character's positioning in the movie!"

The importance of Robert Redford in "Indecent Proposal" is self-evident.

"So, Robert Redford will film Indecent Proposal first, and then go on to direct A River Runs Through It?"

"Not bad!"

After hearing the other party's affirmative answer, Aaron was relieved. After all, the highlight of "Indecent Proposal" is not only Demi Moore showing her sexy style, but the rest depends on the charm of the veteran handsome man Robert Redford.

After learning about the project progress of "Indecent Proposal", Aaron called Esther Beckett.

"What's the status of Carlock's "Basic Instinct" now?"

The highly anticipated "Basic Instinct" is still being filmed in San Francisco, and Aaron knows how influential this movie will be.

Ever since screenwriter Joe Eszterhas sold the script for "Basic Instinct" for $300 million, the project, despite its ill-fated fate, has been attracting a lot of attention.

"Basic Instinct? We did encounter some problems during the filming!"

"What's happening?"

Aaron only knew that casting for the heroine of "Basic Instinct" was extremely difficult, as the crew was rejected by 13 actresses in a row because they all could not accept the large-scale erotic scenes in the film.

Otherwise, the crew of "Basic Instinct" would not have chosen a little-known Sharon Stone. It was really because some European actresses could not accept the scale of "Basic Instinct";
For example, French actress Isabelle Adjani turned down the role, and "Basic Instinct" simply couldn't find a famous actress to join!

"It's mainly because the depiction of lesbianism and bisexuality in Basic Instinct has caused serious dissatisfaction among many homosexual people;"

"On the set of Basic Instinct in San Francisco, large numbers of gay people often demonstrated nearby to express their disappointment and anger towards the crew!"

Aaron curled his lips. This isn't a big deal, is it?
It was just a demonstration outside, and the disruption to the crew was very limited.

"Didn't they rush in to help the miscellaneous crew or something?"

"Uh, no, because of them, San Francisco specially arranged for police to be stationed there," Etheline Beckett responded with a suppressed smile.
