Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 150 Fame is greater than strength
The following weekend, "Lethal Weapon 3" continued to dominate the weekly box office, earning $2700 million and a cumulative box office of $10 million in 7000 days;
"Indecent Proposal" grossed $1500 million in its second weekend, and its cumulative box office in 10 days reached $4750 million!
However, although his own "Indecent Proposal" cannot compare with Warner Bros.' "Lethal Weapon 3", after all, the production cost of that film is 3500 million US dollars and it is an action movie;

And "Indecent Proposal" is just a feature film with a production cost of 2500 million US dollars.

However, Far From Home, a Western blockbuster starring Tom Cruise and distributed by Universal, opened in 1590 theaters in North America last weekend, but only grossed $1020 million over the three-day weekend.
This blockbuster, which cost $6000 million to make, is even worse than the previous Paramount blockbuster "Days of Thunder" starring Tom Cruise!
Released at the same time as Far From Home was the sequel to Alien 3, produced by 2227th Century Fox. It opened in 1950 theaters in North America and grossed $ million in the first three days of its weekend.
However, the reputation of "Alien 3" is so low that it is unbearable to watch, and almost all the reviews are negative.

"Action movies are really great," Aaron leaned back in his chair in the office of Dawn Pictures, looking a little lazy.

Next, Warner Bros.' "Batman Returns" and "Milky Way," and Paramount's "Patriot Games" will all be released in the summer.

"Boss, the distribution department has reported very good results from the preview screening of Sleepless in Seattle. We and Sony are both confident!"

Assistant Aithelin Beckett handed Aaron an investigation report.

Aaron nodded. The Cannes Film Festival had already ended, and the crew of Sleepless in Seattle was promoting it vigorously in the media.

Nicole Kidman went to Cannes to promote this movie. After all, Dawn is the producer and is responsible for the North American distribution, while the international distributor is Columbia TriStar!
"Does Tom Hanks have another comedy coming out this summer?"

"Yes, it's the comedy sports film 'A League of Their Own' directed by Penny Marshall, starring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Madonna Ciccone, and others. The distributor is Sony, and it will be released on Independence Day!"

Aaron tapped the table. "How's Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs?"

"Well, it grossed less than $300 million at the box office, but it received good reviews in the independent film industry, and it's also received very high praise in the UK film industry."

"Reservoir Dogs" and "Raise the Red Lantern" both grossed less than $300 million at the box office, and their commercial value was basically non-existent.
The main purpose is to enrich Shuguang's film library. Art films are the embodiment of film style!

"However, Reservoir Dogs has won the favor of many celebrities, and Quentin Tarantino has gained many big-name fans."

Aaron stood up and said, "Let's wait for the results of his next work."

Speaking of which, Aaron is still keeping an eye on director David Fincher. The failure of "Alien 3" was a real blow to his confidence.
However, David Fincher is still continuing his music video and commercial shooting business!

Evening at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood.

The crew of "The Pain of Reality" invested by Dawn Investment held a wrap party. Aaron was a little surprised that Ben Stiller took less than two months to shoot the film.
Director Ben Stiller, as well as main actors Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawke, Adam Sandler, Jennifer Connelly and others were in attendance.

By the time the party was coming to an end, Aaron also showed up!
Because Winona Ryder is the producer and the biggest publicity point of the film, even Ethan Hawke was introduced to the crew by her;
So, she specifically asked Aaron what he thought of the film.

"Jennifer, do you mind if I borrow Aaron for a few minutes?"

Winona Ryder came up to the two of them and joked with a smile.

"Oh, of course," Jennifer Connelly kissed Aaron beside her, "Honey, I'm going to the bathroom!"

Aaron nodded, looked at Winona Ryder, and then they went to the balcony. "Your short hair style is pretty good now."

"Well, do you think it looks good?"

"It looks good, but it's a bit short!"

Aaron said, reaching out and touching the other person's hair, "You are really beautiful, any hairstyle suits you!" "Well, you are not satisfied with having a sexy Jennifer Connelly?"

Winona Ryder rubbed her face and said, "This is my first time as a film producer. Fortunately, the filming process went smoothly, otherwise, your $1200 million would be wasted."

Aaron smiled, "Then you'll have to pay for it with yourself!"

After making a joke, Aaron leaned against the wall, took out a pack of cigarettes, and they each lit one. "The movie is pretty good, very artistic. It probably won't be a big hit at the box office, but it should have good reviews."

"Dawn should also make some money. In my opinion, 'The Pain of Reality' is a successful work."

"Huh, that's good," Winona Ryder exhaled a puff of cigarette, "I've also accepted a new film directed by Martin Scorsese, The Age of Innocence, working with Daniel Day-Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer;"

“This year, it’s been really busy!”

"It's adapted from the novel of the same name by Edith Wharton, an American female writer from the last century, right?"

Aaron shrugged. "CAA recommended this project to Martin Scorsese, but I wasn't interested."

Winona Ryder smiled and said, "Don't you think this movie is good?"

"About the same. Director Martin Scorsese is not suitable for me to work with. I don't really like his style. It's not very commercial!"

Well, Aaron thinks that Martin Scorsese is an actor whose fame is greater than his ability, he has too much experience and his style is not changeable enough.

"No wonder," Winona Ryder immediately threw away the cigarette butt, "But I am still looking forward to working with Daniel Day-Lewis;"

"This actor is very good, a representative figure of experiential acting!"

There are three schools of acting: expressionism, method acting and experiential acting. The experiential acting school is the most immersed in the performance and cannot perform well without being crazy.

Aaron shook his head. "Don't try to imitate that. It's easy to get too caught up in the performance. I don't want to see you crying on the side of the road like last time."

"I know," Winona Ryder ran her hands through her hair, "Depp and I broke up!"

"Uh, well," Aaron's mouth twitched, and he patted the other man's shoulder, "You're still young, it's okay for you to focus on your career first."

"I've been having insomnia lately and have to take sleeping pills to fall asleep!"

Winona Ryder hugged the man and kissed him.

"Well," Aaron responded with a deep kiss and then reminded, "How about you go out to sea with me this weekend?"

"it is good……"
