Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 122: Ball Flower Small Supporting Role

"Aaron, you're here!"

"My Own Private Idaho" starring Keanu Reeves is still in theaters, and now he is working with Aaron on "Dracula: Dracula";
The two are old acquaintances.

Aaron nodded and said, "Keanu, this is a film directed by Coppola. You have to control yourself. He doesn't like actors to be distracted during filming!"

Keanu Reeves is an old drug addict, and Aaron must remind him.

"Don't worry, I will."

Keanu Reeves understands this, after all, this is not a low-budget movie like "My Own Private Idaho".

"I heard that Rui Fan also auditioned?"

Aaron inquired.

"Yeah, for my character, he has a bit of bad luck!"

Keanu Reeves shook his head.

Aaron smiled but said nothing, while River Phoenix looked decadent. His acting was indeed good, but he had no commercial masterpieces.

And in terms of appearance, he is far behind Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves!
In addition, Robert Redford, who participated in "Indecent Proposal", is preparing to direct "A River Runs Through It", and River Phoenix also lost to Brad Pitt in the casting of the male lead;

It seems that River Phoenix is really miserable. Those who compete with him are all top handsome guys.

"Your action performance in 'Point Break' was great. Stay in shape. Shuguang just happened to have an action movie script, and I think you'd be a good fit!"

Aaron said, patting the other man's shoulder.

Action movies require actors to have a sense of male hormones; that kind of decadent trance-like performance is absolutely unacceptable;
If Keanu Reeves doesn't listen to the advice, Aaron will look for other young actors. There are several young actors in the casting of the supporting actor in "Scent of a Woman", and they are all good!
The Thelma & Louise, released in the summer, received unanimous praise. The supporting actor Brad Pitt, with his muscular figure and handsome appearance, attracted a lot of attention.

Now he has been chosen by director Robert Redford as the leading actor in his "A River Runs Through It", and he can also be used in "Speed".

Afterwards, Aaron met Anthony Hopkins, the leading actor of "The Silence of the Lambs" in the lounge!
"Oscar, 'The Silence of the Lambs' is a horror film, will it also be favored by the Oscars?"

Anthony Hopkins was also surprised when Aaron mentioned that "The Silence of the Lambs" was competing for an Oscar.

Even now that The Silence of the Lambs has won awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor and Actress from the New York Film Critics Circle and the Boston Film Critics Circle;

However, Anthony Hopkins still has little confidence about what "The Silence of the Lambs" can achieve at the Oscars.

"Only God knows what the outcome will be!"

Aaron smiled and patted the other man's shoulder. Shuguang's works this year, whether it was "Ghost" or "The Silence of the Lambs", were all phenomenal.

The college judges will not ignore the double harvest of business and word of mouth.

In the dressing room, Aaron saw Winona Ryder sitting on the sofa and asked, "How do you feel about the rehearsals during this period?"

"Well, it's good. Both Mr. Gary Oldman and Mr. Anthony Hopkins are actors with great acting skills."

"And Keanu and I are already very familiar with each other, so acting opposite each other wasn't difficult at all!"

Winona Ryder looked up at Aaron again and said, "I've hired a teacher to teach me tango. I'll definitely have no problem making a cameo appearance on 'Scent of a Woman'."

Aaron waved his hand. "It's just a simple tango scene. The main purpose is to make you look beautiful in the play!"

I feel like Brad Pitt in "The Stranger and the Madman", except that Winona Ryder doesn't have to take on such a role now;
But Aaron also invited her to make a guest appearance for commercial considerations. For example, the box office of "Thelma & Louise" in North America reached 4500 million US dollars, and the highlight of the movie, Brad Pitt, also made a lot of contribution!
In the afternoon, the three vampire brides who played Dracula in "Dracula: Bram Stoker" came to the set to try on their makeup.

Aaron looked at one of them. The profile read: "Monica Bellucci, 26 years old, Italian, model, starred in her debut film 'The Hard Way, Stepmom' last year!"

With delicate features, beautiful looks, sexy and voluptuous figure, and a mature charm, this is the Earth Flower. She was introduced by assistant director Roman Coppola and was discovered by Roman when she was shooting a L'Oreal commercial in France.
He is of Italian descent, so it's normal for him to join "Dracula" and play a small supporting role.

What's more, even Billy Campbell, the leading actor of "The Rocketeer", plays a small supporting role in the movie;

Disney spent $3500 million to produce and more than $2000 million on publicity and distribution for the comic book movie "The Rocketeer", which only grossed $4600 million at the box office. No one was interested in Billy Campbell.

Dawn Pictures, office.

Aaron sat in a chair, flipping through the audition list for "Scent of a Woman".

Matt Damon, Brendan Fraser, Ben Affleck, Chris O'Donnell, these young people are all on the list.

Especially Matt Damon, he is a student at Harvard University, so awesome!
He glanced at Esther Beckett and said, "I think Matt Damon is pretty good. Forget it, let director Martin Brest choose during the audition."

Anyway, they are all unknown young actors now, so it doesn't matter who is used.

Esther Beckett nodded, but had already remembered the name Matt Damon!
Aaron then asked, "How much did 'My Own Private Idaho' do at the box office?"

"Well, it's over 300 million US dollars. The film's release scale has always been small, and it's currently showing in less than 200 theaters;"

"However, 'My Own Private Idaho' is estimated to only gross $6-7 million!"

Well, Aaron shouldn’t have asked. As for the movie “Raise the Red Lantern” which was just released this month, it must be even lower.

"Okay, if Scent of a Woman is ready, start filming as soon as possible!"

After all, "Dracula" will start filming soon, and Aaron has to go to London.

By the time Halloween came, Aaron had already arrived in New York. Compared to Los Angeles, the climate in New York is much colder!
Sophie Marceau finally came to the United States from France, and Aaron also bought a seaside villa in East Hampton, Long Island to accommodate her.

"This house is not cheap, is it?" Sophie Marceau was also surprised when she was brought here by Aaron;
The building area is 500 square meters, and there is more than 1000 square meters of outdoor area.

“450 million dollars, not bad!”

Aaron hugged the girl and kissed her. "Because time is a bit tight, we haven't had time to redecorate yet. You can change it to whatever style you like."

The firelight from the fireplace shone on Sophie Marceau's beautiful face, revealing a hint of a smile. "Aaron, are you going to hide me?"

"Yeah, that's what I thought!"

"greedy!"

"By the way, I thought you were going to live in Los Angeles permanently. Why do you want to stay in New York?"

Aaron pulled Sophie Marceau to sit on the sofa and asked.

Sophie Marceau thought for a moment and said, "My agent said New York is the center of art films in the United States, and it's also close to Quebec, Canada!"

Aaron hugged Sophie Marceau, "Quebec, Canada, oh, the largest French-speaking region in North America;"

“It gathers the largest number of French people and people of French descent, and French is also the official language.”

Quebec is the largest province in Canada, with 80% of its population being of French descent. Montreal is the second largest French-speaking city after Paris.

Aaron couldn't help but remind the other party, "But dear, there are many acting opportunities in Los Angeles!"

"Well, if I go to Los Angeles, are you going to leave me to live on the streets?"

Aaron smiled. "Okay, New York and Los Angeles are both fine..."
