Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 156 Elizabeth's Attack

In the summer, in addition to the release of various popular movies, there are also many gossips in the newspapers;
In the UK, what everyone loves to hear is naturally the royal scandal!

A gossip scandal in the Daily Mirror, a British tabloid that is as famous as The Sun, has caused a shock to the royal family:
Sarah Ferguson, the princess of the Queen's youngest son, Prince Andrew, went on vacation with a wealthy bald American businessman. They were very close, with her topless and the businessman kissing her toes.

A riverside house in Hammersmith, London.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Catherine Zeta-Jones looked at the photos in the Daily Mirror with a look of disbelief on her face.

"It seems like the two just separated this year, and the Queen is probably going to lose her temper again!"

Aaron shook his head. "I can't understand why you don't overthrow the royal family?"

"It's reserved for creating scandals. It's obvious that Prince Andrew has been cuckolded for a long time. Look at his father and his brother, each one is more chaotic than the other."

"The royal family's relationship is so chaotic, yet you can tolerate it."

Wasn’t there the Prince Charles recording scandal? And Princess Diana’s?

The private lives of members of the British royal family are as chaotic as those in the entertainment industry.

Catherine Zeta-Jones was stunned, then she sat directly in Aaron's arms and smiled, "You actually want to overthrow the British royal family?"

"That's our queen!"

"Well," Aaron kissed the girl in his arms directly on the lips, "Yes, overthrow them. Britain does not need a queen or a king."

"That's hard to say. The people are still very supportive of the royal family!"

Catherine Zeta-Jones put her arm around the man's neck and nuzzled him affectionately. "Besides, reading about royal scandals after dinner is a great pleasure for the public."

"Yeah, that makes sense," Americans are also very interested in high-level government scandals!

"Okay, Aaron, I'll go get some food."

Catherine Zeta-Jones gave Aaron a kiss on the cheek and then got up and went to the kitchen.

Aaron picked up a copy of the Financial Times and started reading articles about the British economy and the European Monetary Exchange Rate Mechanism.

The European Community, the predecessor of the European Union, which the UK joined, also joined the European Monetary Exchange Rate Mechanism.

The European Exchange Rate Mechanism means that the currencies of Western European countries are no longer pegged to gold or the US dollar as before;
Instead, they are pegged to each other, and each currency can only fluctuate within a specified range. Once the exchange rate exceeds the specified range, the central banks of each country have the responsibility to stabilize their own currency exchange rates by buying and selling their own currencies.

Now, Germany's economy is developing rapidly, while Britain's economy is in a slump, and the exchange rate of pound to mark must be stabilized at above 1:2.778;

However, Britain's national strength is declining, and it is now difficult to support the fixed interest rate of the pound against the mark. It is too difficult to maintain a high interest rate for the pound.

The UK wants to devalue the pound to increase exports and ease economic pressure, which requires Germany to lower the interest rate of the mark to comply with the European Monetary Exchange Rate Mechanism;
But Germany's economic development is booming, especially with the reconstruction of East Germany. The economy is becoming increasingly overheated and its economic strength is growing. It will not risk aggravating its own inflation by lowering the Mark interest rate!

"The pound is indeed at a high exchange rate right now, at 2.82 to the German mark and close to 1.9 to the US dollar." Aaron leaned back on the sofa. He must have known about the 1992 British pound crisis, when the pound depreciated.
I just don’t know when exactly?
However, Aaron planned to have someone peg the British pound, and when the exchange rate of the pound to the dollar rose to 2, he could short the pound;

The famous Quantum Fund is the main force and leader in sniping the British pound this time!
As Catherine Zeta-Jones went on a promotional tour for Christopher Columbus;

Aaron is also preparing to return to the United States as "The Mask of Zorro" is about to start filming.

Buckingham, on the set of Four Weddings and a Funeral, was filming a wedding scene;
Aaron looked at Hugh Grant. It seemed that the most memorable movie for this guy was the romantic comedy "Notting Hill" in the future, in which he co-starred with Julia Roberts!
At night, in Sophie Marceau's room, Aaron rolled off the girl and said, "Honey, I'm going back to the United States first. After you finish filming Four Weddings and a Funeral, you can go directly there."

Sophie Marceau smiled, leaned into Aaron's arms and kissed him, "Maybe not. I received a good French script in Paris before!"

"A French film?"

Aaron reached out and stroked the other person's long chestnut hair. "Isn't this another pornographic film that your ex-boyfriend filmed?"

"You're going to make it in Hollywood now, so be careful not to let people treat you like a porn star."

"In Hollywood, it's very difficult to transition into a genre film actor. Look at Sharon Stone, who became a huge hit this year with the movie 'Basic Instinct'. She's now defined as a porn star!"

"Basic Instinct" was a good box office hit, making Sharon Stone an instant celebrity. This year, she filmed the erotic film "Voyeur" for Paramount, and her salary increased to 250 million US dollars.

You know, after the huge success of "Ghost", Nicole Kidman's salary was only 200 million US dollars, which is the price of a romantic love movie;

If it was a drama or art film, Nicole Kidman's salary would be lower, but this year she has the hit "Sleepless in Seattle", and her salary will also increase in the future.

"Don't worry, it's just a French romance film, not as explicit as the previous ones. The script was adapted by a new director.

"I thought it was pretty good, so I agreed to play the leading female role!"

Sophie Marceau held her head high. She had been in the United States for more than half a year and was familiar with some of the situations in Hollywood.
Compared to violence, Hollywood's attitude towards eroticism is more conservative.

Aaron patted the girl and said, "That's good..."

On the flight from London to New York, because Aaron's flight was at night, it was a red-eye flight.

In the first class cabin, Aaron was casually flipping through a magazine that contained news about the marriage of pop queen Whitney Houston and unknown black singer Bobby Brown.
Aaron didn't care about Whitney Houston, but was thinking about the action movie "The Bodyguard" she co-starred with Kevin Costner, which will be released on Thanksgiving this year.

Now, Kevin Costner's salary for taking on the role of "The Mask of Zorro" is $1200 million;
Fortunately, "The Bodyguard" has not been released yet, otherwise his salary would have been as high as 1500 million US dollars.

"Aaron, what a coincidence!"

Aaron looked up and found a tall and sexy beauty standing in front of him.

"Hurley!"

It was Elizabeth Hurley.
