Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 182 Hong Kong Kung Fu Movie

Hong Kong, Peninsula Hotel.

Golden Harvest specially arranged a grand banquet for Aaron Anderson and invited some big names in the Hong Kong film industry!
Jack Cheng, who had rushed back from the filming set, was pulled aside by Raymond Chow and Ho Kuan Chang and told, "That's Aaron Anderson, the owner of Hollywood Twilight Films;"

"He's also the youngest movie mogul in Hollywood!"

"He released the Oscar-winning film "The Silence of the Lambs" and the box office champion "Ghost";"

"This year's Hollywood box office hits 'Indecent Proposal' and 'Sleepless in Seattle' were also invested and distributed by Dawn;"

"Ever since Aaron Anderson debuted, his works have been a hit."

Jack Cheng glanced over there. He saw a very young foreigner, accompanied by a charming and sexy young Asian woman. "Was he the one who helped sell Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at a high price when he was the agent?"

He Guanchang nodded, "Yes, he earned hundreds of millions of dollars in just three years;"

"From an entertainment agent to the owner of a prominent Hollywood film company, we recommended you to him. Shuguang is willing to collaborate with Golden Harvest to produce a film."

"We'll go to Hollywood to shoot, and we'll form our own behind-the-scenes crew, including the director and the leading actor. He'll personally give us feedback on the script, and we'll shoot a Hollywood-style action comedy!"

On the other side, Aaron was chatting with Ms. Xu Feng, the head of Tang Chen Film Company, who was the investor of "Farewell My Concubine".

"I've seen the sample copy of 'Farewell My Concubine' and it's very good. I believe it will definitely make a splash at the Cannes Film Festival next year!"

Aaron is of course clear about the distribution model of this kind of art film. Participating in various film festivals and activities to enhance fame is all for the upcoming theatrical release.

"Well, Farewell My Concubine will be released in Hong Kong on January 1st next year."

Xu Feng explained that whether a film can be released in mainland China depends on its influence!

Nowadays, works from mainland China that go abroad to participate in film festivals generally follow the Hong Kong route, just like Zhang Yimou's "Ju Dou" and "Raise the Red Lantern" were both submitted for selection in the name of Hong Kong.

Aaron actually paid very little attention to Farewell My Concubine, after all, it was a low-budget Chinese art film;

Aaron doesn't even pay much attention to European art films, let alone Asian ones. He only asks about them because they are Chinese-language films.

Tomson Film Company is a subsidiary of Tomson Real Estate Group. Aaron knows Tomson’s future property in Shanghai, Tomson Yipin!
Afterwards, Zou Wenhuai took Jack Cheng and Aaron to meet and introduced Jack Cheng to Aaron;
At the same time, Aaron also met several beautiful celebrities from Hong Kong.

Sitting on the sofa in the lounge area, Zou Wenhuai suddenly asked, "Is this beautiful Japanese lady also an actress?"

Aaron smiled, "Norika Fujiwara is the champion of this year's beauty pageant in Japan. She's pretty much just debuted and has a contract with Daiei Company!"

Zou Wenhuai certainly understood, "Ms. Fujiwara Norika could come to Hong Kong to shoot a film and gain some experience;"

"Ms. Fujiwara Norika is beautiful and has a great figure. She is suitable for a career in the entertainment industry."

Norika Fujiwara, who was sitting next to Aaron, was a little tempted when she heard this. She definitely wanted to enter the circle, but she just didn't have many resources.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes," Aaron didn't care about these trivial matters.

"By the way, Shuguang is planning to purchase a few of Jack Cheng's films for distribution in the United States!"

Since they had already decided to develop the movie "Rumble in the Bronx", Shuguang had to buy a few of Jack Cheng's kung fu movies to show;

By then, when Jack Cheng becomes famous, some of his classic action films will be released in North America and do well at the box office. "That's no problem. Shuguang can buy a few and take them back to test the waters."

Raymond Chow did not object, but was very supportive. It not only promoted Jack Cheng, but also generated revenue. Nowadays, it is still difficult for Chinese-language films to be promoted in the United States.
John Woo's "Hard Boiled" and "Hard Boiled" were released on a very small scale in Hollywood. No one knew the main creators, and no distribution company was willing to take over.

Kung Fu movies like "Police Story 3: Super Cop" and "Operation Condor" will definitely make money!

"Well, you can prepare the movie about Jack Cheng as soon as possible. I will have someone modify it to suit American tastes."

"In the movie, we can highlight Jack Cheng's kung fu comedy elements and thrilling action scenes. Hollywood has a fresh take on kung fu movies!"

Aaron gave the other party some advice again.

"Don't worry, we will prepare as soon as possible, and the team will go to the United States when the time comes."

Zou Wenhuai knew Aaron Anderson's ability and vision.

Aaron nodded, then patted Fujiwara Norika beside him and said, "I'm going to the bathroom!"

Many female celebrities attended the private banquet hosted by Golden Harvest, which naturally attracted many wealthy businessmen from Hong Kong.

After Aaron left the bathroom, he found a tall, beautiful and graceful woman with a cool temperament smoking at the entrance of the corridor!
"Beautiful lady, can you lend me a light?"

Aaron also picked up a cigarette and walked closer to the other person.

"Oh, okay," the girl picked up the lighter beside her and handed it over.

Aaron took a drag on his cigarette, "I'm Aaron Anderson, American!"

"I know you, Mr. Anderson. Our agent told us that you are a Hollywood tycoon, the youngest movie tycoon.

"I'm Joey Wong, from Taipei!"

Aaron nodded and looked at the other person. "I actually know you. Remember the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival in Spain?"

Joey Wong won the Best Actress Award for her role in "A Chinese Ghost Story III: Dao Dao Dao"!
"Ah, is Mr. Anderson there too?"

Joey Wong was a little surprised.

Aaron nodded. "I also watched 'A Chinese Ghost Story III: Dao Dao Dao' at that time. Your appearance was very poignant, sad and mournful. The image of the beautiful long-haired enchantress was very impressive. "

"You are already tall and stunningly beautiful, and your unique temperament paired with your beautiful ancient costume makes it hard to forget!"

"Thank you, I have played roles in many costume films, and not all of them are fantasy," Wang Zuxian smiled.

Aaron put out the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "Perhaps you could consider pursuing a career in Hollywood. Golden Harvest and I are collaborating on a kung fu comedy, and I think you'd be quite suitable!"

"Going to Hollywood?" Wang Zuxian's heartbeat immediately accelerated after hearing this.

Aaron shrugged, "At least, we can try!"
