Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 121 A rising tide lifts all boats
"Sleepless in Seattle" earned 2000 million, "Indecent Proposal" earned 2500 million, and "Schindler's List" earned another 2000 million.
Now he has invested another 1000 million US dollars in "Dracula", and Aaron has purchased two villas in full!
The only remaining funds of Dawning are US$500 million in cash.

Fortunately, Ghost grossed over $2.2 million in North America, and received the remaining $760 million in North American box office revenue.
At the same time, the overseas box office of 2.8 million US dollars, with a 25% share, is 7000 million US dollars. Together with the income from the video tape market and TV broadcasting, Suguang earned 1 million. After deducting the exchange rate and various expenses, the overseas market brought Suguang a profit of 8500 million US dollars!

Of course, "Ghost" achieved such brilliant results that director Edward Zwick, the leading actors Kevin Costner, Nicole Kidman and other creative staff including David Geffen received a total of nearly 1200 million US dollars in post-screening bonuses.

Aaron and Jack Wells walked into a car dealership in Beverly Hills. "Jack, if you like any car, just drive away!"

"Really? Then I want a Lamborghini!"

Jack Wills smiled and went straight to choose his car, even though he had earned almost a million dollars this year;
But he was still excited to be able to spend Aaron's money.

Aaron waved his hand and said, "Pick anything you want!"

Then, Aaron suddenly saw a new Japanese car, "Hey, is this a new Mazda car?"

The clerk smiled and said, "Yes, Mazda just launched the new RX-7 this year, and the model has undergone major changes!"

As a small sports car, the Mazda RX-7 sells well in the United States. Well, Japanese cars are selling well all over the world now.

"Another Japanese car?"

Jack Wells shook his head. "Aaron, even if you don't like American cars, you should like European cars!"

With Aaron's current status, he can choose anything like this with his eyes closed.

Aaron didn't care, "Okay, as long as there's no traffic."

I heard that driving a Mazda is racing, but driving a Rolls-Royce is not racing?

In the evening, Hollywood 42 Club.

Aaron hugged Salma Hayek and sat on the sofa, enjoying the tenderness. "Did you receive the notice from the crew of Sleepless in Seattle?"

"Got it, I'll be going to Seattle for the shoot soon!"

Salma Hayek is very happy. She has a small role in "Sleepless in Seattle". Although she only has a few minutes of screen time, she shows her face and has lines.
Finally took the first step.

"Well, at least it's a job. I'll introduce you to an agent and you can take on some work to gain some experience." After all, she is a Latina and there are not many roles suitable for her.

Salma Hayek's eyes rolled, "Let's go, Aaron!"

Aaron nodded and said, "Let's go..."

With a huge amount of money in hand, Aaron finally set his sights on Microsoft's stock. In June of this year, Microsoft carried out another stock split, which was the third stock split. Different from the previous two stock splits of one for two;

This time, Microsoft split its shares into three parts. Currently, Microsoft's stock price is around $85, with a market value of $190 billion!
Aaron then founded a private investment company, Tianhai Fund, and began buying Microsoft stock;

By late October, Tianhai Fund had acquired nearly 60 shares of Microsoft stock, spending more than $5000 million!

"Hiss, I now own 0.27% of Microsoft's shares?"

In the villa in Bel Air, Aaron put down the phone.

I couldn't help but tremble in my heart. With Microsoft's market value of two or three trillion US dollars in the future, what is 0.27%?
"I'll have to keep buying in the future!" Aaron smiled. The company still has more than 3000 million US dollars for the film project "Scent of a Woman";

At the same time, the loan for "The Silence of the Lambs" was about to expire, but Aaron was not worried!
Not to mention these Microsoft stocks, even the copyrights of "Sleepless in Seattle" which is currently being filmed and "Indecent Proposal" which is about to start filming can be used to apply for bank loans;

Now, no bank would refuse to mortgage Aaron Anderson's works!

Then, Aaron drove the Mazda RX-7 to the Sony Studios in Culver City, where the final rehearsal of "Dracula" was underway.

Director Francis Ford Coppola, and actors Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, and Anthony Hopkins were among those on set.

"Aaron, I'm a little worried about the set construction in the UK, so I plan to go and take a look myself. I'll leave the Los Angeles side to you."

Francis Coppola attaches great importance to the scenes, costumes and props of this movie, and they must all meet his requirements.

"Don't worry, I will go to London with the crew when the time comes," The main filming location of "Dracula" is at the Pinewood Studios base in London!
Francis Coppola smiled and said, "I feel relieved to have you here. When the time comes, I will go to Paris to check out the scenes."

"Although we have Roman, Michael, Charles and others here, I hope you can take on more of the work!"

Roman Coppola is Francis Ford Coppola's son and assistant director;

Michael Apted, the original screenwriter who turned producer of the film;

Charles Mulvicil, the producer sent from Columbia.

The reason why Aaron Anderson was allowed to participate more is entirely because of his outstanding performance. Ghost has a global box office of 5 million US dollars, which is simply shocking.

Now, even the attention on "Sleepless in Seattle" has increased infinitely!
"I will. After all, Shuguang has invested money."

Aaron laughed too.

"By the way, how's the preparation for the movie you and Al are working on going?"

Coppola was asking about Scent of a Woman.

"We're still in the casting stage, but it's basically finished. Filming should start soon. Winona will take a few days off to make a cameo appearance!"

Aaron is not only helping to prepare for "Dracula: Dracula", but also working on his own "Scent of a Woman";

The budget of "Scent of a Woman" was $1700 million, mainly because Al Pacino's salary was high!

Originally, Al Pacino's salary for "The Godfather Part III" was only $3 million, and he could not get this price for other works;
After the popularity of "Pretty Woman", Al Pacino's reserve price is now 500 million US dollars. "Scent of a Woman" is a very traditional art film. He likes the script very much and only asked for a salary of 450 million US dollars.

Afterwards, Aaron entered the rehearsal scene.

"Aaron, good morning."

Whether it was the producer, the assistant director and other staff members, or the actors, they would all take the initiative to greet Aaron.

"morning!"

With Aaron's huge success, his status has also risen. Now no one dares to underestimate the young Aaron Anderson.
