Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 170 I am Aaron Anderson

After finishing his chat with Nicolas Seydoux, Aaron looked for the stunning woman he had just met.

"What a pity," Aaron didn't see it!

"Aaron," suddenly, Hugh Grant and the Jewish director Roman Polanski and his wife walked over together.

Just last month, the erotic film Bitter Moon, produced and directed by Roman Polanski and starring Hugh Grant, Kristen Thomas, and Emmanuelle Seigner, was released in France;
However, the sexual perversion and other large-scale plots in "Bitter Moon" have caused great controversy.

Regardless, Aaron chatted with a few people. After all, Shuguang invested in "Schindler's List" directed by Spielberg.
Roman Polanski himself was a Jewish orphan during World War II and was once invited to direct "Schindler's List".

"Aaron, I think all Jews will be grateful to you for supporting the film 'Schindler's List'!"

Roman Polanski said this and clinked his glasses with Aaron.

Aaron took another look at Roman Polanski's little wife. Are all the large-scale scenes in "Bitter Moon" concentrated on her?

Then, Aaron looked at Roman Polanski in front of him with a strange expression. The highly controversial scenes such as sexual abuse in "Bitter Moon" might be the state of this guy in real life!
You know, Roman Polanski was prosecuted for sexually assaulting an underage girl in the United States and fled to France;
Now, the United States hasn't withdrawn the wanted warrant for this guy yet?

Aaron smiled, "Well, with Steven Spielberg directing Schindler's List, I'm still pretty confident!"

Aaron was even more upset because the Jews only paid lip service to their gratitude without any real action.

Aaron wouldn't have supported Schindler's List if Steven Spielberg hadn't agreed not to take any money for the film.

"By the way, Schindler's List will be released next month. If Director Polanski is interested, he can attend the premiere."

Aaron spoke deliberately.

Roman Polanski shook his head in embarrassment. He couldn't enter the United States!

Emmanuelle Seigner on the side smiled and said, "Aaron, have you seen the film 'Bitter Moon'?"

Aaron shook his head. "I received a copy, but haven't had time to appreciate it yet!"

Aaron really didn't have high hopes for French erotic films. "The Flame Lover" did well at the French box office, but it was also average in the United States.
"Bitter Moon" is filled with a lot of heavy-tasting erotic and violent scenes, with themes of gender entanglement and sadomasochism. It is definitely an NC-17-level work.

In terms of reputation and artistry, "Bitter Moon" is far inferior to "The Burning Lover" and is not a movie of the same level!

"is it?"

Emmanuelle Seigner felt somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, as she certainly hoped to gain the favor of this new Hollywood tycoon;

"Bitter Moon" is very controversial and has received many negative reviews. Emmanuelle Seigner contributed many large-scale performances, and after the filming was over, she felt regretful!

Whatever Emmanuelle Seigner thought, Aaron wasn't even interested in Roman Polanski, let alone her?
It wasn’t long before Aaron was chatting with Hugh Grant about Four Weddings and a Funeral, which is also a British-French co-production but a completely different genre to Bitter Moon!

"My agent has also reminded me that I will not take on this kind of work in the future," Hugh Grant smiled helplessly. In "Bitter Moon", he was just a supporting actor.

"Don't worry, the movie 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' filmed this year is very good. It will be released next year. I think there will be surprises!" Aaron said, and patted the other person's shoulder deliberately. With Hugh Grant's image, it is indeed not suitable for starring in this kind of work.

After chatting with Hugh Grant, Aaron saw the beautiful woman from before in the lounge of the banquet hall;
The other person seemed to be being harassed by a man.

Aaron walked over and helped the other person out. "Can I invite you for a drink?"

"I'm Aaron Anderson, an American!"

"It's my pleasure. Thank you for what I just did. I'm Christiana Yeri!"

After arriving at the bar inside the hotel, the two ordered two cocktails. Aaron looked at the other person and said, "Christiana Yeri? Not French, right?"

Cristiana Yeri nodded and said, "I was born in Brazil, immigrated to France when I was a child, and only came to Paris to develop in recent years;"

"I'm an actor too. I just saw you chatting with Mr. Nicolas Seydoux. You must be a big shot too!"

Cristiana Yerry is a French-Brazilian.

Moreover, the man who had just been harassing her was the French director Jean-Jacques Annaud. As soon as he saw Aaron Anderson, he left naturally.

Christiana Yeri looked at Aaron with deep and bright eyes, as if she could see into people's hearts!
Aaron smiled. "Because I know Nicolas Seydoux?"

Christiana Yeri shook her head. "The man just now is called Jean-Jacques Annaud. He directed the movie 'The Lover' that was released in France earlier this year."

"Lover?" Aaron took a sip of wine.

"It's adapted from Marguerite Duras' autobiographical novel, right? The leading actor is a Chinese actor!"

"Yes, it's an excellent work and the film has a very high reputation," Christiana Yeri explained with a smile. She herself is just a small star and has not participated in any blockbusters or memorable works.

Aaron turned his head, looked at the other person, and suddenly reached out to touch the person's face. "I have a film company in Hollywood called Dawn. The films "Ghost" and "The Silence of the Lambs" released last year were our works!"

Christiana Yeri's eyes widened, Hollywood Dawn Pictures, "Aaron Anderson!"

"No wonder. I've heard that there's a new, very young tycoon emerging in Hollywood. I didn't expect you to be so young."

In fact, Christiana Yeri is not that old. She is 27 years old tonight, only one year older than Sophie Marceau!
Aaron then put down his hand, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, "Have you ever thought about developing in Hollywood?"

Christiana Yeri blinked helplessly, "I don't even have a chance in France, how can there be a place for me in Hollywood?"

Aaron just smiled, “Because you didn’t know me before;”

"Opportunities in Hollywood are indeed rare, but unfortunately I'm Aaron Anderson!"

Then Aaron left a business card for Christiana Yeri and told her to call him within three days.
