Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 149: Mixed Good and Bad
The riots in Los Angeles have sparked great discussion both domestically and internationally. It is a game about the American judicial system and racism!
In the preview room of Dawn Films, a rough cut of Schindler's List was playing, and Aaron was watching the black and white picture on the screen with his chin propped up;

I was thinking that once this movie is released, there would be basically no controversy about the Best Picture award at the Oscars in March next year.

"Is Spielberg still in Hawaii?"

Aaron suddenly asked.

Brad Grey nodded and responded, "Yes, the filming of Jurassic Park won't be that fast. Universal has scheduled the release date for next summer, so Spielberg will be quite busy!"

Schindler's List is due to be released at the end of the year anyway, and this kind of art film will definitely use the fame of the awards season to promote it;
However, given the Jewish media power, whether it is newspapers or television stations, they will definitely advertise the movie spontaneously.

In the afternoon, in Aaron's office.

A novel called "Interview with the Vampire" is on the table. It is the first published novel in the "Vampire Chronicles" series by Anne Rice, an American writer of Gothic novels, Christian literature and erotic literature!

"After Interview with the Vampire was published in the 10s, Paramount purchased the filming rights for years, but Paramount never developed the film.

"Afterwards, the filming rights were transferred to Lorimar Pictures under a five-year filming agreement, which expired at the end of last year."

"So, I think we at Shuguang can film this novel. After all, we just participated in the production and filming of Coppola's 'Dracula' and have some experience with this type of subject matter!"

Dawn Steele is suggesting to Aaron that they develop the adaptation rights to Anne Rice's novel Interview with the Vampire.

Aaron looked at the novel on the table and smiled. "Okay, let's talk. I'm also quite optimistic about this novel."

After Dawn Steele left, Aaron picked up the novel and started reading...

A BMW Z1 convertible drives along Pacific Coast Highway 1 in Malibu.

"Aaron, are you asking me to go to England to film a romantic comedy?"

Sophie Marceau, who had just arrived in Los Angeles from the set of "Fatal Romance", received the script of "Four Weddings and a Funeral".

Aaron smiled and stroked the girl's thigh. "Yes, this script is very interesting and will have unexpected effects."

"It's different from a thriller like 'Fatal Romance'!"

Sophie Marceau nodded and said, "Well, this script is full of comedy, it won't be difficult to shoot."

Romantic comedy is the simplest genre. Sophie Marceau also filmed many French rom-coms in her early years!

Soon, the car stopped at a seaside villa in Pointe Dume Estate in Malibu, a vacation villa that Aaron had previously purchased.

"You really enjoy it!"

Sophie Marceau stood on the balcony holding Aaron Anderson, feeling the warm breeze of the Pacific Ocean, the blue sky, white clouds and waves.

"Isn't money meant for enjoyment?"

Aaron kissed the girl, feeling the beauty in his arms, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Is it a different experience to shoot a Hollywood movie?"

"Yes, it's different. Director Tony Scott has a bad temper, and the crew is a bit daring;" "The interval between one filming set and another is not long. In Europe, it won't be so urgent!"

Compared to the French laziness, the Hollywood approach is too commercialized.

At night, in the bathroom, Aaron Anderson and Sophie Marceau are taking a fragrant double bath!

"Are you going to Cannes or not? They've invited me to attend the closing ceremony, so I have to go there in advance to prepare and leave after the weekend."

Under the shower, Sophie Marceau leaned in the man's arms and felt the warm water.

"I don't think there are any good works. Besides, 'Indecent Proposal' will be released next Friday. Dawn has a lot of projects right now. Ordinary movies don't attract my interest!"

"Speed", "Philadelphia Story", "The Mask of Zorro", "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "The Piano Lesson" and other foreign films invested by Shuguang;
In addition, Aaron approved Dawn Steele to develop "Interview with the Vampire", and Dawn also has the adaptation rights of "Forrest Gump", so there are really a lot of projects.

Sophie Marceau smiled, turned around and kissed Aaron on the mouth, "Right now in Cannes, there's news about Basic Instinct everywhere;"

"Director Paul Verhoeven's film has sparked huge controversy, with various media outlets arguing fiercely!"

After its international premiere at Cannes, Basic Instinct has been a hot topic of discussion;
Now, the North American box office of "Basic Instinct" has exceeded 8000 million US dollars, and breaking million is a foregone conclusion.

"Four Weddings and a Funeral" is expected to start filming in London in two months. Will you be going directly from France to England?"

After Sophie Marceau went to Cannes, she must return to Paris for a while.

"It depends on the situation. If necessary, I will go back to the United States!"

Sophie Marceau said this as she rubbed her fingers over Aaron's chest, smiling as she felt the man's pectoral and abdominal muscles.

"You have such a great figure, no wonder you are so attractive to women?"

Then, she couldn't help but kiss the man on the chest!
"Well, it's nothing. Anyway, I will go to London when the time comes."

After a while, Sophie Marceau squatted down...

With the arrival of mid-May, "Indecent Proposal" developed by Dawn Pictures began to be released, and on the same day, Warner Bros.' sequel "Lethal Weapon 5" was also released!
"Lethal Weapon 3" opened in 2510 theaters in North America, with a box office of $3300 million in the first three days of the weekend;
"Indecent Proposal" opened in 1720 theaters in North America, with a box office of $1900 million in the first three days of the weekend!
Both "Lethal Weapon 3" and "Indecent Proposal" have been very popular, which has made a good start for the hot summer season.

However, although "Indecent Proposal" has been widely discussed, its reputation is mixed.

Chicago Sun-Times: "This 'Indecent Proposal' cleverly uses romantic scenes to mask its inherently vulgar themes!"

The Hollywood Reporter: "Despite its ridiculous premise and poor script, the director manages to create the kind of sexy pop fable he's so good at."

In addition to these positive reviews, some articles like Variety and The New York Times gave negative reviews:
"The most annoying thing about the movie is that it loses its nastiness and vulgarity."

"Indecent Proposal starts out quirky and then devolves into a dull — and shockingly mediocre — family soap opera!"

　I wish you all a happy New Year’s Day, a new year with new prospects, and make a fortune every day!
