Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 161 Cherish Tonight
Samsung and Sugon invested $6000 million to shoot The Mask of Zorro. Director Ridley Scott and Kevin Costner together made the cast formidable.
Mike Medvedev, head of TriStar Films, is extremely looking forward to "The Mask of Zorro"!

On the other hand, Warner Bros.' summer blockbuster "Batman Returns" fell short of expectations, grossing $1.6 million in North America and only $2.6 million worldwide.
Compared with the previous film's global box office of $4 million, it is much lower, and the production cost of "Batman Returns" is as high as $8000 million.

At the same time, the biopic Christopher Columbus: Discovering the New World, starring Catherine Zeta-Jones, was released;
The opening box office was only $300 million and the word of mouth was not satisfactory. This $4000 million movie produced by Warner Bros. was undoubtedly a failure.

In a hotel in Palm Springs, a sweaty Catherine Zeta-Jones lay in Aaron's arms. "It seems that director Ridley Scott also has a movie about Columbus coming out!"

"Yeah, in October, the production cost more than the one you starred in."

Aaron rubs Catherine Zeta-Jones in his arms. The cost of "1492: The Conquest of Paradise" is as high as 4700 million US dollars;
Aaron was also worried about the co-production directed by Ridley Scott.

After all, "Christopher Columbus: Discovering the New World" starred Marlon Brando, but Ridley Scott's "1492: The Conquest of Paradise" does not have such a big Hollywood star.

At the end of August, when the exchange rate of the British pound to the US dollar rose to 2, Aaron immediately asked Tianhai Fund to start shorting the British pound;

Next, I believe that Quantum Fund will take action soon. After all, Aaron has invested 5000 million US dollars, and 10x leverage is only 5 million US dollars!
As the Deutsche Mark gained strength, the European Community governments, led by Britain and Italy, unanimously demanded that Germany lower interest rates so that other countries could follow suit.

But Germany turned a deaf ear and even raised the discount rate before.

As a result, more and more people began to hoard German marks and sell British pounds and Italian lira.

At night, in a bar in West Hollywood, Jack Wells, who had just returned from Russia, talked to Aaron about the situation over there!

"This year, Russia implemented comprehensive privatization reforms and implemented shock therapy;"

"As you know, during the Soviet era, they didn't have abundant supplies. Now in Russia, there is a severe shortage of daily necessities."

Jack Wells said this, taking a sip of his drink.

Approaching Aaron, "I know a few military men over there. They have a lot of brand new AKs stored in their warehouses.

"We buy our products from Russia and ship them directly to Africa. They're very popular!"

"Very popular?"

"Yes, you know, the situation in Africa is a mess, and the demand is huge!"

Aaron was a little surprised, "You wouldn't become an arms dealer just like that, would you?"

Jack Wells shook his head. "I'm not talking to anyone. It's just a small quarrel."

"Well, the ruble has depreciated significantly, so I should have made a little money, right?"

Aaron inquired.

"Yeah, that Omega company you introduced seems pretty good!"

Jack Wills did invest some money in Omega Consultants.

Aaron took a sip of his wine and said, "There are many variables in this kind of hedge fund business. Don't get obsessed with it."

Jack Wells smiled and said, "Why would I be obsessed with this?"

"By the way, did you have anything to do with the incident with the black rapper Sean Combs and 2Pac in Los Angeles?"

Aaron whispered to Jack Wells, that Sean Combs died, and 2Pac was also seriously injured and disabled! "Yes, 2Pac starred in "Justins Who Write Poems", which is John Singleton's new film;"

"This guy seems to have forgotten who backed his debut feature film, 'Boyz n the Hood'?"

Moreover, Boyz n the Hood earned John Singleton an Oscar nomination for Best Director;

It was Dawn Pictures that invested in this new African-American director and supported him in filming in South Central Los Angeles and the Compton area.

In order to smoothly film "Boyz n the Hood", Jack Wills personally made several gang members with his friends!

"Don't worry, the Los Angeles riots happened soon after. Who would pay attention to these things?"

Aaron smiled and said, "Of course no one cares. After all, these two people are not famous!"

If Jack Wills knew that the Sean Combs he killed would become the future American music legend - P. Diddy;

And this guy is a person with no moral bottom line. Can Jack Wells be considered to have eliminated the harm in advance?

"The election is getting closer and closer. California is holding its own U.S. Senate election, and some U.S. House of Representatives are also facing term changes."

"Next, we're going to donate to some promising congressional candidates!"

In Congress, California has two senators like other states and also has the most representatives in the House of Representatives.

California experienced riots this year, which caused tremendous losses, and reconstruction plans are imminent.

"Got it," Jack Wells said, knowing this was essential.

"Well, tomorrow I'm going to the Venice International Film Festival in Italy!"

Aaron said this and patted the other person's shoulder.

Shuguang did have a remake of "Scent of a Woman" that participated in the Venice Film Festival, but Aaron also wanted to see if there were any suitable imported films?
Aaron lay on Monica Bellucci on the bed in the villa in Bel Air, "Do you want to go to Italy with me?"

Monica Bellucci smiled and said, "Okay, but I can only stay for two days. Then I have to come back to participate in the rehearsal for the movie "Philadelphia Story" planned by director Jonathan Demme."

"Forget it, then I'd better stay in the United States and prepare for The Philadelphia Story!"

Aaron shook his head and said that Jonathan Demme had made sufficient preparations for the film and it would be good for Monica Bellucci to participate in it.

"Yeah," Monica Bellucci kissed the man on her.

Then, she turned over and pressed on Aaron and smiled, "My dear, although I can't accompany you this time, there are plenty of opportunities;"

"Besides, I'm also in the United States and can come to you anytime!"

Aaron didn't have much emotion when touching the girl's plump body. Jennifer Connelly didn't have many scenes left in "Speed", so she could have accompanied Aaron for a while.
After all, Jennifer Connelly speaks French and Italian.

Aaron smiled, "Alright, cherish tonight!"
