Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 163: Do You Want to Continue?

"Yeah, I know you," Aaron looked at Penelope Cruz, "You starred in the Spanish movie 'Jam, Ham', it was great!"

Penelope Cruz's smooth and shiny long hair, charming eyes and plump red lips all show her unrestrained and uninhibited nature.

"Really?" Penelope Cruz smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Can I buy you a drink?"

Facing the girl's expectant eyes, Aaron shook his head and said, "I don't have time now, but there will be opportunities in the future."

After all, The Mask of Zorro was also filmed in Spain, and it featured quite a few Latino actors;
Including Salma Hayek, who was also arranged by Aaron to join the cast of "The Mask of Zorro".

At night, in the hotel room, Jennifer Connelly sat in front of the dressing table, "Aaron, are we going back home?"

"Yeah, let's go back," Aaron came behind the girl and leaned over to kiss her.

"Well," Jennifer Connelly responded enthusiastically with her neck tilted back!
"This time, the UK has suffered significant losses. International hedge funds, led by Quantum Fund, are targeting the British pound."

Jennifer Connelly smiled and leaned into the man's arms, "You earned it too, right?"

Aaron nodded. Tianhai Fund invested $5000 million with a 10x leverage, and started when the British pound was at a high against the US dollar.

Forced the British pound to withdraw from the European Monetary Mechanism!

Last year, 12 European countries signed the Treaty on European Union, also known as the Maastricht Treaty, in Maastricht, the Netherlands;
After this experience of the European Community, I believe that the calls for establishing a common currency, achieving free flow of capital, and a unified market will become increasingly louder!

Aaron also knew that the formation of the European Union and the Eurozone was not far away.

After returning to Los Angeles, it was already late September and the British-French co-production "The Lovers" had begun to be released;

"Sleepless in Seattle" grossed $1.2 million in North America and broke $1 million overseas, earning a global box office of $2.2 million!
Meanwhile, Aaron sold out his position when the pound to dollar exchange rate was 1.6.

With $5000 million and 10x leverage, Aaron leveraged $5 million this time, and the exchange rate of the British pound dropped from 2 to 1.6.

Tianhai Fund earned $1 million, and after deducting taxes and various commission expenses, Aaron obtained a net profit of $7000 million.

A Mitsubishi EVO sedan stopped in front of a townhouse on East 75th Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York!

Aaron and Nicole Kidman got out of the car together and walked into the newly purchased villa.

"It's so beautiful," Nicole Kidman sat directly in Aaron's arms, "The box office of 'Sleepless in Seattle' is pretty good!"

Aaron smiled and rubbed the girl's thighs a few times. "It's grossed over $2 million worldwide, but is it okay?"

You can't directly compare this movie to "Ghost." Nicole Kidman put her arms around the man's neck and kissed him. "Sleepless in Seattle cost $2000 million to make. It must have made a lot of money, right?"

Aaron nodded, saying that the North American box office revenue alone was $6300 million, and overseas it had $2500 million;
After deducting the $2000 million production cost and nearly $1600 million in publicity and promotion expenses, "Sleepless in Seattle" is sure to be a huge hit!
"What gift do you want?"

Aaron said this and pushed Nicole Kidman directly onto the sofa, looking down at the beautiful girl under him.

Nicole Kidman smiled, pulled the man close to her, and blew a breath into Aaron's ear. "I want you to stay with me for a few days, okay?"

Aaron thought about it, then nodded and kissed the girl's lips.

"Speed" has wrapped filming, "The Mask of Zorro" is headed to Spain for filming, and "The Philadelphia Story" is about to start shooting;
"Interview with the Vampire" and "Forrest Gump" are still looking for suitable directors, and the British film "Four Weddings and a Funeral" has also completed filming.

Now, Aaron can indeed continue his vacation, and Pixar is also preparing its first 3D computer-animated feature film!
The next day, Aaron took Nicole Kidman to the French Caribbean island of St. Barts for vacation.

Meanwhile in Hollywood, Giancarlo Pare, the former chairman of MGM, was sent to prison for fraud;
French bank Credit Lyonnais injected another $3.5 million to operate MGM.

On the other hand, the owner of Orion Films, media tycoon John Kluge, gave up injecting capital and could not find new investors;
The bank declared Orion bankrupt, and the creditors took ownership of Orion Films.

But whether it is MGM or Orion, it is difficult to compare with what happened to Disney and Time Warner!

It’s no secret that among Disney’s top executives, Michael Eisner, the chairman and CEO, and Jeffrey Katzenberg, who is in charge of film and entertainment, have conflicts;

However, with the opening of Euro Disney, the number of visitors is not optimistic, and Euro Disney's high debt has also caused large fluctuations in Disney's stock price.

On the contrary, the business that Jeffrey Katzenberg was in charge of was booming. "Beauty and the Beast" not only earned $2.45 million at the global box office;

It also became the first animated film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, and won two Oscars - Best Original Song and Best Original Score. In particular, the sales of videotapes exceeded 2200 million!

Such a spectacular achievement made Jeffrey Katzenberg start to contradict Michael Eisner directly, complaining that the other party did not prepare for meetings or read the script.

Michael Eisner also began to weaken Jeffrey Katzenberg's power little by little;

In addition to the good performance of animated feature films, Michael Eisner also blamed all the failures of the studio's live-action films on Jeffrey Katzenberg!
As this old partner who came to Disney together from the Paramount era, the two people who have known each other for many years finally stood on opposite sides because of the power struggle.

In his hotel bedroom on St. Barts, Aaron lay in bed talking on the phone with his assistant, Iselin Beckett.

"Michael Ovitz visited the seriously ill Steve Ross in Long Island, New York. Is there a Canadian-based brewing group that wants to enter Hollywood and acquire Time Warner?"

Aaron took a deep breath after hearing this. Is CAA planning to take on another acquisition?
Nicole Kidman looked up and smoothed her long hair, "Aaron, do you want to continue?"

Aaron put down the phone and nodded!
