Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 136 I Have a Date

London, Westminster, Knightsbridge.

Royal Albert Hall, the 45th British Academy Film Awards ceremony;

Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards respectively for their roles in "The Silence of the Lambs"!

"Congratulations to both of you," Aaron congratulated the two at the banquet.

"Thank you," both Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins were very excited.

Aaron smiled and said, "The Silence of the Lambs also received many Oscar nominations and has been a hot topic in Hollywood."

"It's fantastic to have acquired 'The Silence of the Lambs' from Orion."

"Aaron, you have good taste!" Jodie Foster shook her head.

Orion is indeed short-sighted. The Silence of the Lambs grossed $1.3 million in North America and $2.7 million worldwide, and the copyright was sold to Dawn Pictures.
Another "Addams Family" was released in November last year, with a North American box office of 11 million US dollars and a total of 1.1 million US dollars worldwide. The copyright was sold to Paramount.

After a while, Winona Ryder also came over to congratulate Anthony Hopkins. The two are currently filming "Dracula" and came from the set together!

Winona Ryder, wearing a black suit, shoulder-length black hair, and light makeup, walked over and said, "I feel very stressed lately."

Aaron frowned, "Have you been taking those over-the-counter medications again?"

Aaron was aware of Winona Ryder's substance abuse problem, mainly antidepressants;

However, on the set, Winona Ryder showed her professionalism and rarely took medication.

Seeing Winona Ryder lowering her head and not speaking, Aaron patted her on the shoulder and said, "My suggestion is that you can take on some romantic comedies in the future, and don't always play dark and tragic roles;"

"If you continue to abuse drugs, it will definitely cause great harm to your career!"

Winona Ryder really has no shortage of scripts nowadays. She is young and beautiful, and more importantly, she is very talented in acting.

"Depp and I haven't seen each other for a long time!"

When Aaron heard this, he thought, is this because of love?

Aaron knew exactly what kind of person Johnny Depp was. Every time he filmed a movie, he would have a new lover around him.

"Well, as an actor, it's a bit busier."

Aaron smiled and consoled.

"Okay, stop thinking about it. You should focus on your career now!"

These are all Hollywood stars, and the attention they receive is not comparable to that of producers like Aaron.

Afterwards, Aaron found Catherine Zeta-Jones who was also attending the awards ceremony. The TV series "Mayflower" was also nominated for the drama award!

"Aaron, congratulations!" The sexy and beautiful Catherine Zeta-Jones was very happy and excited when she saw Aaron.

"Well," After the two kissed for a while, Aaron pulled the other person to a nearby bar.

Aaron held the girl in his arms and sat on the sofa. "Mayflower Season 2 is about to premiere, and your fame in the UK is growing!"

"Honey, I'm just a TV star, my circle is very small."

The ratings of Mayflower were good in the UK, but that was limited to the UK. Moreover, the UK film industry was in a slump right now.

The market has completely become Hollywood's backyard.

"Don't worry, I'm here not only to focus on 'Dracula', but also to set up a UK branch of Dawn." "British literature, historical themes, and other themes are all sources of inspiration for Hollywood productions!"

After all, the United States has little history, and the cultural heritage of English depends on Britain.

Aaron said as he kissed the girl on the face a few times, "By then, there shouldn't be a shortage of film projects."

Catherine Zeta-Jones is currently filming the drama "Mayflower", so she is not in a rush, but she definitely wants to go further!
"Really? Because the British film industry is currently in a downturn, the government has introduced a film investment policy, and there will be corresponding tax rebates for films shot in the UK."

Catherine Zeta-Jones put her arm around the man's neck and smiled charmingly, "The movie I participated in, 'Christopher Columbus: Discovering the New World', will be released in August;"

"When the time comes, I will also go to the United States to participate in promotional activities."

Aaron raised a glass of wine and said, "That's great. You can find me when you go to the United States!"

"Okay, cheers." Catherine Zeta-Jones also picked up a glass of wine and clinked it with Aaron.

Then, Aaron hugged the girl in his arms and kissed her passionately...

Buckingham, on the set of "Dracula: Dracula's Dracula."

Aaron felt uncomfortable when he saw Gary Oldman's Count Dracula look. Was the stylist from Japan modeled after Kabuki?
At this time, Sidney Ganis, the president of Columbia Pictures, came to Aaron and said, “This movie and A Few Good Men starring Tom Cruise and Jodie Foster are the key projects this year;”

"Director Coppola, there won't be any postponement, right?"

Aaron smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will be able to wrap up filming next month, and Director Coppola will personally participate in the post-production editing."

"'Dracula' will be released in time for Thanksgiving."

Sidney Ganis nodded. "Isn't that too much?"

Aaron was stunned and shrugged, "You're talking about the movie rating, it must be R!"

From what Sidney Ganis said, could a movie like this even be rated PG-13? That's greedy.

Not to mention the exposed nipples of the vampire bride in the movie, the scenes in the drama are dark and terrifying, so it can only be rated R.

"Alright, I have nothing to worry about with you here. No one believes that you, Aaron Anderson, would do a business that loses money!"

Sidney Ganis smiled. It was nothing special. It was mainly because ICM had leaked the news that Aaron Anderson was also optimistic about Orion's "The Addams Family";
It was surprising at the time that Dawn acquired "The Silence of the Lambs" by borrowing money, but now it proves Aaron Anderson's vision.

"By the way, did you come to England specifically to promote The Prince of Tides?"

Aaron changed the subject.

"The Prince of Tides" is a drama romance film directed and starred by Barbara Streisand. It was released at the end of last year. The North American box office has now exceeded 6000 million US dollars, and it has received good reputation and received several Oscar nominations.

"I'm going to the Berlin International Film Festival!"

Sidney Ganis had nothing to hide and even invited Aaron, “How about a trip to Berlin?”

"Dawning doesn't seem to have any new films coming out right now. If there's a good film, Dawning will be responsible for the North American market, and Columbia Samsung will be responsible for the international market."

Aaron spread his hands and pursed his lips, "I have a date tonight. Look, it's that sexy Italian model who plays one of the vampire brides!"

Sidney Ganis smiled but said nothing. It was really difficult to get Aaron to help with the work.

Now, many Hollywood film companies hope to cooperate with Suguang, especially several other major distributors are trying to win over Aaron Anderson;
Sony, which has always cooperated with Sugon, certainly does not want Aaron to switch to someone else. Even though Sugon can now distribute movies in North America, it still has to rely on several major distributors for the international market.

Unfortunately, Aaron Anderson refused to sign an exclusive distribution contract with Sony!
