Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 137 Italian Style
28-year-old Monica Bellucci has a charming face, sexy lips, plump figure, and long black hair, all of which show her unparalleled charm!
In a high-end restaurant on the banks of the Thames in Hammersmith, West London, Aaron gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Monica Bellucci and said, "Sit down!"

"Thank you, Aaron!"

After Aaron sat down, he took a sip of coffee, looked at the other person, and asked, "Are you planning to develop in Hollywood?"

Monica Bellucci smiled helplessly, "If there is a chance, of course I hope so, but I just entered the entertainment industry;"

"He only made a cameo appearance in 'Dracula' for a few minutes."

Monica Bellucci has just starred in an Italian drama film "The Inheritance War", which is also a large-scale rough ethical film and will be released in Italy during the summer.

"However, I'm probably a little too old for Hollywood now, and Hollywood doesn't really like my figure!"

Aaron smiled and said, "Opportunities always come to those who are prepared. It all depends on whether you can seize it."

To Aaron now, Monica Bellucci is nothing more than a small European model;
He is just an insignificant little figure who entered the film industry because of his looks and figure.

Monica Bellucci got married two years ago and divorced last year. What she pursued was her modeling and acting career!
"Your role in this movie should be over, right?"

Monica Bellucci nodded and said, "We've been shooting for over a week, and we have enough footage. I hope Director Coppola can edit some more shots!"

Aaron continued to ask, "What are your plans next?"

"Next, I'll be looking for advertising and modeling work in Europe. When this movie comes out, I'll also be looking for some work opportunities in the US."

"Since I want to transition into the film and television industry, Hollywood is definitely my ultimate goal!"

No matter what, Monica Bellucci has to try her hand at Hollywood. After all, "Dracula: Bram Stoker's Dracula" can be regarded as her Hollywood debut, right?

At night, in the hotel bedroom, the sexy and plump Monica Bellucci lay on Aaron and kissed the man passionately!

Feeling the girl's majesty, Aaron rolled over and pressed on her. Her 36D figure was only comparable to Salma Hayek. "It's going to be difficult to make it in Hollywood, especially for foreign actresses."

"Well, I'm already learning English and I'm willing to start from the bottom," Monica Bellucci has a very good attitude, just like in this movie "Dracula", didn't she also undress in just a few minutes of scenes?
"When you go to Hollywood, you can come find me at Dawn Pictures!"

Anyway, now Sophie Marceau has gone to Hollywood to develop her career, and Tony Scott's "Fatal Romance" is about to start filming. She finally has the opportunity to participate in a Hollywood production.
Adding another Monica Bellucci is no problem at all.

"Ok!"

Monica Bellucci said, putting her arms around the man's neck, full of temptation, "Aaron, now, don't you want to experience the Italian style?"

"Of course, there's a whole weekend..."

After a cosy weekend with Monica Bellucci, Aaron bought a two-storey villa on the banks of the Thames in Hammersmith for £120 million.
It was specially left to Catherine Zeta-Jones as her residence in London. After all, as a girl from Swansea, Wales, she had no one to rely on in London.

On the Buckingham set, Aaron received a call from Catherine Zeta-Jones, who had already moved into her new house! "Don't you need to redecorate?"

"No need. I think this simple style is good. Do you want to come over this weekend?"

"It depends on the situation. I'll call you when the time comes!"

Aaron then put down his phone. A moment later, Esther Beckett came into the office. "What's up, boss?"

“This script, ‘The Burning Lover’, seems worth investing in!”

French director Louis Malle, with British actor Jeremy Irons and French actress Juliette Binoche as the lead actors;

Juliette Binoche is needless to say, and the actor Jeremy Irons is no ordinary person. At last year's Oscars, he won the Oscar for Best Actor for "Reversal of Fortune"!

The script is based on the novel of the same name by British author Josephine Hart, published last year;
It is a work about desire, betrayal, ethics and lust.

The story centers on the story of the protagonist Steve and his son's girlfriend, Anna, who have been having an affair. Eventually, the son stumbles upon his father and his girlfriend in bed, and out of grief, he accidentally falls down the stairs...

"British Channel 4 and French Canal+ are among the investors, and in North America, Miramax and New Line also seem to be interested!"

Aaron didn't care. This kind of movie wouldn't have much commercial potential. "They'll agree to a $250 million investment in exchange for North American distribution rights."

"This Jeremy Irons also starred in Steven Soderbergh's Kafka, which was released at the end of last year, right?"

"Yeah, that's him. He's also starring in a drama called M. Butterfly, which is based on a true story from a Chinese play. It's going to be released this year!"

Jeremy Irons is also a veteran British actor, but his works are basically art films without much commercial attributes;
The main market is also concentrated in Europe.

"M. Butterfly?" Aaron knew this movie. The other actor was John Lone, who dressed as a woman and fell in love with Jeremy Irons.

As for Chinese drama, they should be filming "Farewell My Concubine" at this time, right?

Because, originally they wanted John Lone to play Cheng Dieyi in Farewell My Concubine, but it didn't happen, and John Lone starred in M. Butterfly instead;
In its previous life, "Farewell My Concubine" missed the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film due to lack of public relations. It was not until the later "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that a Chinese-language film won an Oscar for the first time!

Zhang Yimou's "Ju Dou" and "Raise the Red Lantern" were both nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar for two consecutive years;

Last year, "Ju Dou" was distributed in North America by Orion Classics, but it did not win an award. This year's "Raise the Red Lantern" is also unlikely to win an award, even if the distributor is changed to Dawn Pictures.

"By the way, shut down the two sub-labels of Dawn Pictures, Crescent Pictures and Dusk Pictures, as soon as possible;"

"Crescent Films is responsible for investing in and distributing foreign art films and independent literary and artistic films, while Twilight Films is responsible for investing in and distributing B-grade films that are violent, bloody, horror-thriller, and similar..."
