Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 124 You Hate Him

In mid-November, Aaron arrived at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England.

Located in the northwest of London, the filming site of "Dracula"!

"Click, take a 15-minute break, Winona, come here."

Francis Coppola frowned, stopped the filming, and called Winona Ryder to say something.

Aaron and another producer, Michael Apted, stood aside and both discovered the problem, which was that the male and female protagonists had no chemistry!

The heroine Winona Ryder and Gary Oldman who plays Count Dracula feel very distant.

"What's going on? Didn't you perform very well during the rehearsal?"

Aaron shook his head. The filming had just begun and things weren't going well.

Michael Apted spread his hands and said, "There seems to be a conflict between the two of them!"

Aaron looked over there and saw Francis Ford Coppola talking to Winona Ryder. "They are all professional actors. They should be able to adjust quickly."

Michael Apted nodded and looked at Aaron again. "By the way, I heard you say before that you wanted to support Spielberg's filming of Schindler's List. How's that going?"

"Oh, the filming is about to start, Director Spielberg has already gone to the Polish set!"

Aaron explained that there was no need to worry about "Schindler's List", but the progress of "Scent of a Woman" had slowed down again.

The main reason is that the leading actor Al Pacino hopes to start filming after the new year. Last month, the romantic film "Frankie & Johnny" starring him and Michelle Pfeiffer was released, but the performance was very poor;

After being released for more than a month, it only grossed $2000 million at the box office. Then, he was reshooting some scenes for his other work, "Tycoon Game."

A few days later, "Dracula" was back on track because director Francis Ford Coppola moved some intimate scenes between Winona Ryder and Gary Oldman to the end!

That day, Aaron suddenly received a call from Spielberg.

"Aaron, I'm in New York!"

"Well, you're in New York? Aren't you on the Krakow set in Poland?"

Aaron looked confused.

"Well, I originally planned to film in Auschwitz and I got permission to do so;"

“It’s just that I received a letter from the Jewish Council Organization, and they advised me not to disturb the rest of the deceased;”

“So, I plan to build a concentration camp near Auschwitz for filming, and the budget is estimated to increase by a million dollars!”

Aaron stuck out his tongue. "I see. No problem. I'll let Shuguang pay for it. It's indeed not suitable to film in the real Auschwitz concentration camp."

"The deceased has rested in peace. It is indeed inconvenient."

"Thank you, Aaron!" Spielberg flew back specifically to apologize to the Jewish organization and would soon return to Poland to select a site for construction.

“This is what I should do!”

After hanging up the phone, Aaron shook his head. Fortunately, it was Poland. Building a concentration camp was not expensive, and the delayed labor was not expensive either.

Spielberg said it would cost millions of dollars, so it is estimated that the budget would have to be increased by about 200 million dollars, and it would take time to rebuild a concentration camp.

By the afternoon, Aaron left the set and prepared to go to London!

"Aaron, are you going back to London?"

Outside the set, Winona Ryder came up to Aaron.

"Yeah, do you want to go over there too?"

"Well, could you please buy me a drink?"

"Of course!"

Aaron stayed at the Savoy Hotel on London's Westminster Strand, with a view of the Thames. He took Winona Ryder to a nearby bar and ordered a beer. "By the way, are you Jewish too?"

"Yes, I'm of Soviet Jewish descent, but I don't believe in Judaism!"

Winona Ryder explains.

Aaron nodded. There are so many people of Jewish descent in Hollywood, but how many of them are Jewish?

"I heard you invested in Spielberg's Holocaust film Schindler's List. That's awesome!"

Aaron smiled and said, "Well, remember to make a cameo appearance in my movie Scent of a Woman for a few days next year;"

"The film will not start shooting until next year."

"Don't worry, you've helped me a lot on this crew, and I will repay you!"

Aaron looked at Winona Ryder and said, "You seem to hate Gary Oldman. There aren't many intimate scenes between you two, just hugging and kissing, right?"

Celebrities, how can these be considered intimate scenes?
Winona Ryder's face wrinkled, "Well, he made a dirty and excessive joke before, and I was disgusted;"

“Also, I think his acting style is too intense and risky;”

"But don't worry. I don't want to bother with him during the break. I'll be in good shape when the real shoot begins!"

Indeed, during breaks in filming, Winona Ryder stayed away from Gary Oldman, hanging out with her assistant or chatting with other people;
Of course, the person most often looked for was Aaron Anderson, but Aaron didn't stay on the set all the time.

"Aaron, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Are you going back to the United States?"

Winona Ryder suddenly asked.

Aaron shook his head. "I won't be back in the US until next month. It's Oscar season, and Dawn has some events to hold."

"Your time on the set shouldn't be long next year, right?"

Aaron tilted his head, "Right, it's nothing important, he won't come, the crew has done almost everything they need to do;"

"I heard from Sadie that you were originally blonde, right?"

Sadie Frost is the British actress who is the best friend of the heroine played by Winona Ryder.

"Yeah, but I don't like it. The colors in Edward Scissorhands are just the colors!"

Hollywood's stereotype of blondes has always been sexy and silly, stupid blondes.

Winona Ryder said and smiled, "Well, Aaron, Sadie Frost is sexy and beautiful, and she's British. Doesn't that appeal to you?"

Which woman in the crew doesn't want to have something happen with Aaron Anderson?
Aaron waved his hand casually, "I'm not a casual person;"

"Come on, let's go out for a walk. London's Thanksgiving activities are quite lively!"

"Um……"

"Disney's animated feature film 'Beauty and the Beast' seems to be gaining popularity again," the movie poster at the entrance of the Savoy Theatre attracted Winona Ryder.

"Yes, the box office is pretty good too. It opened in North America with $1200 million, and after 10 days, it's already grossed $2600 million!"

Aaron said this, but he turned his gaze to the poster of another movie, "The Addams Family", which was also released in the United States last week. It opened with $2400 million in the first weekend and now has $5500 million.

It was released in the UK this week. Paramount really did a good deal. Orion sold two blockbuster works to other companies this year. "The Silence of the Lambs" made them sad, and now there is another "Addams Family"?
"Aaron, what are you laughing at?"

Winona Ryder suddenly saw Aaron Anderson's mouth curled up. These two movies were not produced by Dawn, so why was he so happy?

"Oh, nothing, just thought of something funny!"

I don’t know whether Orion’s luck is good or bad?
Aaron then went to the square nearby, where many people were performing...
