Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 128 They Don’t Dare

In the preview room of Dawn Pictures, Aaron was watching "Reservoir Dogs" with others!
This is the flavor, the integration and creation of violence, black, and humorous elements, and the unique and distinctive postmodern style characteristics;
It's a chatty film with good use of dialogue, exciting music, and non-linear narrative.

"Quentin, your style is really eye-catching," Aaron said with an unconscious curl of his lips.

"Aaron, do you like it?"

Quentin Tarantino couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, after the New Year, Brad will take you and Lawrence to the Park City St. Denis Film Festival to screen Reservoir Dogs as soon as possible;"

"The movie will be released in theaters by the end of March!"

Lawrence Bender is a producer that Quentin Tarantino knows, and the two of them have "like-minded interests".

"That would be great," Quentin Tarantino certainly had no objection. Who doesn't want their work to be released in theaters?
Aaron then returned to his office.

Jack Wills also came over, "I introduced Salma Hayek to an agent I know, who works at WMA;"

"At least she could do some commercials or magazines or something, or some small roles in TV dramas!"

Aaron nodded, "By the way, what's the situation with Miramax?"

Before, Aaron taught Harvey Weinstein a lesson.

"Nothing major has happened. Harvey is still buying up films everywhere, hoping to succeed!"

"Oh, you can succeed by casting a wide net? Miramax doesn't have any financial support." Aaron knew that Miramax was acquired by Disney when it was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Disney's financial resources are the foundation that supports his ambitions. Miramax and Disney can be said to have achieved each other's success.

"Oh, there was another big thing happening in Los Angeles last month. I brought the newspaper!"

Aaron smiled and said, "Are you talking about Los Angeles Lakers star player Earvin Johnson who retired due to AIDS?"

Wasn’t it the big news last month that “Magic” was infected with AIDS?
Jack Wells smiled and shook his head. "You're an important figure in Hollywood now. Why would I show you other sports news?"

"Look, it's a memo from Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg. It was originally sent to Disney Chairman Michael Eisner and other directors, but somehow, the contents of this memo appeared in the Los Angeles Times!"

Aaron took it and saw that it was Jeffrey Katzenberg reflecting on the failure of Disney's live-action films "Dick Tracy", "The Rocketeer" and "Billy Bathgate";

In particular, he also emphasized the comparison between "Pretty Woman" and "Dick Tracy". Although Michael Eisner was not mentioned in any sentence, every sentence contained implications about Michael Eisner.

"It seems that the internal strife among Disney's top management has become very serious. Jeffrey Katzenberg is really not an easy person to deal with."

"Michael Eisner has the support of Disney's major shareholder Sid Bass and Disney family shareholder Roy Disney, and he has the final say in the board of directors;"

"Jeffrey Katzenberg, who is in charge of the film and television business, really has a strong desire for power!"

At present, the renewed success of "Beauty and the Beast" has given him more confidence.

"I have indeed received news that things are very tense inside Disney right now."

Jack Wills explained.

Aaron waved his hand. "Michael Eisner's achievements are far more than that. He multiplied Disney's consumer product market several times over and increased Disney's brand value more than tenfold." "Jeffrey Katzenberg is indeed capable of bringing Disney Animation to glory, but he is not enough to compete with Michael Eisner!"

Right now, the top priority for Disney is Euro Disneyland, which is set to open on the outskirts of Paris next spring.

Christmas should be a festive and lively time, but a phone call made Aaron very unhappy;

Aaron received a call from the set of "Indecent Proposal" in Las Vegas with some bad news.

Dawn Steele, a producer at Dawn Pictures, told Aaron that there was a problem with the filming of "Indecent Proposal" and Robert Redford was in very bad condition!
"Indecent Proposal" was supposed to be released in the summer, and it had been filmed for almost two months. When it was almost time to wrap up, something went wrong with Robert Redford?

Aaron Anderson and Jack Wills hurriedly flew from Los Angeles to Las Vegas!

"Something is indeed wrong," Aaron understood it completely when he saw Robert Redford for the first time;

The elderly wealthy man played by Robert Redford in "Indecent Proposal" is handsome and elegant, otherwise how could he attract the young and sexy Demi Moore?
Now, Robert Redford has heavy bags under his eyes and looks listless. He is in such a bad condition!

"Robert, how long has this been going on?"

Aaron looked at Dawn Steele.

"It's been a week, and director Adrian Lyne and producer Steven Reuther can't fix it!"

Jack Wells frowned, "Why are you notifying Aaron now?"

Dawn Steele didn't say anything, but Aaron spoke up, "Robert Redford is a superstar, no one, whether it's Adrian Ryan or anyone else, would dare to do that;"

"Indecent Proposal is a CAA project, and he is a CAA client!"

"Dawn, you've performed very well. If you continue to excel, I will let you be solely responsible for the projects at Dawn Pictures."

With that, Aaron went straight to Steven Reuther's office!
When Steven Reuther saw Aaron, he just sighed and said, "Aaron, I have informed Mr. Ovitz, and he will talk to Robert Redford in person."

"Steven, Indecent Proposal is scheduled for release in May next year, which doesn't leave much time. Dawn has already spent $5 million on filming."

"You should understand the meaning of $2500 million!"

Steven Reuther was helpless. "The main reason is that Robert Redford has been suffering from insomnia lately. He is a little overwhelmed physically and mentally."

Aaron shook his head. "We've already finished filming 'Indecent Proposal'. I don't want any other reasons."

“Not only do we have to finish the shoot, we also have to finish it on time!”

"Aaron, Mr. Ovitz will be here tonight, and we'll give you an answer then."

Steven Reuther knew that Aaron would definitely look down on the insurance company's compensation for the time-limited completion of the film;

Shuguang is distributing its own film this year, and the promotion work for "Indecent Proposal" started when filming started!

Aaron took a deep breath and nodded.

　Ask for monthly ticket, I want to collect 100 points,
