Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 155 Climbing into Your Bed

With the US Independence Day just passed, "Four Weddings and a Funeral" officially started shooting at Shepperton Studios in Buckingham, while Aaron Anderson returned to London to discuss the film "The Mask of Zorro" with director Ridley Scott!
Dinner time, in a French restaurant on Fleet Street, London.

Aaron Anderson brought Catherine Zeta-Jones to meet with Ridley Scott and Anthony Hopkins;
The cast of "The Mask of Zorro" has been confirmed. Kevin Costner will play the new generation Zorro, Anthony Hopkins will play the old generation Zorro, and Catherine Zeta-Jones will play the heroine, the daughter of the elderly Zorro.

"I have already negotiated with Mike Medver of TriStar Films. Together we will invest $6000 million to make The Mask of Zorro!"

With a budget of $6000 million, it is definitely the most expensive work that Sugon has participated in so far, and Sugon and Samsung own the North American distribution rights and international distribution rights of the film respectively.

Ridley Scott nodded and said, "The preparations for the film are almost complete, and we will officially start shooting next month."

And Catherine Zeta-Jones, who was sitting next to Aaron, was trembling all over, the leading lady of a $6000 million Hollywood blockbuster;
As a new actress, there is no reason for her not to be excited and thrilled to be able to receive such a work!
At this moment, she placed her hands on her legs, clenching them nervously. This was not a dream...

"Aaron, is The Mask of Zorro really going to start filming next month?"

After leaving the restaurant, Catherine Zeta-Jones walked on the street holding Aaron tightly in her arms.

"What else?" The North American box office of "Indecent Proposal" has exceeded $1 million, and it has already grossed $1.2 million overseas.

The North American box office of "Sleepless in Seattle" has also exceeded 6500 million US dollars. Samsung has always had confidence in Sugon, and now with "The Mask of Zorro", it will not say no to Aaron's opinion at all.

Catherine Zeta-Jones smiled and said, "I'm just so excited!"

Aaron nodded, put his arm around the man's shoulders and kissed him on the cheek, "Let's go to the bar for a drink?"

"Well, there are quite a few bars next to the Savoy Hotel near Fleet Street," Catherine Zeta-Jones certainly wouldn't object.

"Fleet Street used to be the cradle of traditional British media. Almost all major British newspapers have their headquarters on this street."

"It was mainly in the mid-1980s that News Corporation's The Times, News of the World and The Sun took the lead in moving to the suburbs to reduce newspaper costs and increase newspaper sales;"

"This led to other newspapers following suit and moving to Fleet Street!"

Aaron was walking and suddenly stopped. "Sleepless in Seattle and Batman Returns are released in the UK."

At the entrance of a theater, there are large posters of two movies;
Both of these movies were released in North America around mid-last month, with Batman Returns being released just a week later!

"Yeah, it's the one that just came out, Columbia TriStar and Warner Bros. International. Isn't this 'Sleepless in Seattle' produced by Dawn?"

Catherine Zeta-Jones wondered.

Aaron shook his head. "Columbia TriStar is handling the international distribution. How would I remember the release dates in every country?"

Moreover, Aaron is also more concerned about this "Batman Returns";

Because "Batman Returns" opened in North America with a box office of 4570 million U.S. dollars, and its North American box office has now accumulated to 1.2 million U.S. dollars.

However, as a sequel, the production cost of Batman Returns increased from $3500 million to $8000 million compared to the previous Batman.
The cost has increased significantly. In addition to the bigger scenes in the movie, the salaries of the main creators of the crew have also increased. The male lead Michael Keaton’s salary in "Batman Returns" was 1000 million US dollars, but the box office performance of the sequel is obviously not as good as the previous one!

"Batman" created a North American box office of 2.5 million and a global box office of 4 million US dollars. According to the current box office trend of "Batman Returns", it will be difficult for the North American box office to exceed 2 million. Director Tim Burton continues with his dark and gloomy temperament, and it is getting worse!
……

At night, after having fun in the bar, the two went directly to the Savoy Hotel.

Catherine Zeta-Jones was surprisingly proactive and cooperative with Aaron because she won the female lead in "The Mask of Zorro";
With excitement, try your best to please the man!
In the morning, Aaron groaned in bed. After a while, Catherine Zeta-Jones crawled out from under the quilt and lay on the man's chest. "At the end of this month, I will go to the United States to wait for the filming of "The Mask of Zorro";"

"The director said we need a few days of rehearsal. Lately, I've been learning fencing techniques and exercising to prepare for the fight scenes in the movie!"

Sexy and charming, Catherine Zeta-Jones still had a hint of laziness in the early morning. Aaron stroked the girl's long hair and said, "The shooting period of The Mask of Zorro is probably a bit long;"

"But there's nothing to worry about. You can come to me during your breaks. Of course, I'll also go to the filming set sometimes."

After all, "The Mask of Zorro" is a blockbuster that cost $6000 million to make, so Aaron certainly has to spend more time paying attention to it.

"Well, come find me anytime!"

Catherine Zeta-Jones smiled and said, "I met Elizabeth Hurley before and she asked me about the Mask of Zorro project;"

"I can tell she's incredibly envious of me. Earlier this year, she filmed her first Hollywood movie;"

"But her work can't be compared with my 'The Mask of Zorro' at all!"

Aaron certainly understood. Previously, at the company banquet of "Four Weddings and a Funeral", Elizabeth Hurley had used different methods to tease him.

After all, she debuted earlier than Catherine Zeta-Jones and has more acting experience, but now she is so far behind her?

"I think she must be regretting introducing you to me!"

Although that could not be considered an introduction, Catherine Zeta-Jones thought so. It was because of Elizabeth Hurley that Aaron Anderson knew what kind of person she was.

Aaron just shook his head, "What's there to regret?"

"Of course I did. I regretted why she didn't climb into your bed at that time," Catherine Zeta-Jones blinked her big eyes.

"You can now enjoy the UK's top sexy models by just snapping your fingers;"

"It's a pity that there are too many women who have this kind of idea now!"

Aaron smiled and said, "So, do you feel lucky now?"

Catherine Zeta-Jones nodded, "That's for sure."

"Okay, let's go take a shower!"

As he spoke, Aaron patted the girl in his arms.
