Hollywood starts with an agent
Chapter 183 Cruz Wagner
Chapter 183 Cruz Wagner
The Hong Kong economy is now booming like never before, especially the real estate market is booming. Aaron also has the idea of investing in real estate in Hong Kong!
At night, in the hotel's high-rise suite, Norika Fujiwara, wearing sexy pajamas, stood by the window and admired the night view of the Hong Kong River.
Aaron hugged the girl from behind, feeling the tempting 34E, "How is it, are you happy these days?"
"Happy!" Fujiwara Norika snuggled in the man's arms. "This is also a shopping paradise, and the climate is warm, which is great."
Aaron smiled slightly and kissed the girl on the lips, "Well, you go back to Japan tomorrow, I will find you later."
"Okay, then you must come next time!"
Aaron nodded, "Of course, you are so sexy and beautiful, I will definitely not let you go. Also, if there is an opportunity in Hong Kong, you can come over and try to play a few roles;"
"The Hong Kong film industry is booming right now, so there are still a lot of opportunities."
"Okay, I get it. It doesn't matter if there's no opportunity. I'll just stay in Japan!"
The next day, Norika Fujiwara boarded a plane to Japan with the $40 given by Aaron. $40 is close to 5000 million yen, which is definitely a huge sum of money for Norika Fujiwara who just debuted.
Aaron, who stayed in Hong Kong, took a fancy to a detached villa in Repulse Bay. The building area alone was over 5000 square feet, and there was an outdoor garden of the same size!
"5500 million Hong Kong dollars, not bad," Aaron didn't care much.
The Hong Kong dollar is issued based on a linked exchange rate system linked to the US dollar. 1 US dollar is equal to 7.80 Hong Kong dollars. 5500 million Hong Kong dollars is almost 700 million US dollars, which is indeed not cheap!
In the hotel room, Aaron sat on the sofa drinking wine, while Esther Beckett continued to report: "Schindler's List has received very good reviews since its release and has received a lot of praise;"
“Maybe, it will be featured at the Oscars!”
Aaron smiled and said, "Of course, there's a good chance that 'The Crying Game' and 'Scent of a Woman' will be nominated."
"This time, three films produced by Dawn are nominated for the Best Picture Oscar."
Aaron stood up and said, "Well, Christmas is coming soon, let's get ready, it's time for us to go back home!"
As for the Jack Ma comedy film that we are collaborating with Golden Harvest, it will definitely be next year.
Aaron returned to Los Angeles the day before Christmas Eve, bringing back two kung fu films, "Project Eagle" and "Police Story 3: Super Cop," starring Jack Cheng of Golden Harvest.
As for when Dawn will be released, we will have to wait until the next new film developed helps Jack Cheng become famous. Aaron also bought the North American distribution rights for the two kung fu films in the "Once Upon a Time in China" series starring Golden Harvest's Jet Lee.
Christmas Eve, Los Angeles, The Charlie Hotel in West Hollywood.
At the party, Paula Wagner took the initiative to find Aaron and said, "I'm ready to leave CAA!"
Aaron wasn't surprised at all. "Has he transformed into a film producer?"
Paula Wagner nodded. "Tom and I have already discussed this. We've formed Cruise/Wagner Film Productions and signed a three-year exclusive multi-film financing and distribution agreement with Paramount!"
The reason, of course, is to give Tom Cruise more creative freedom in the films he stars in, as well as the opportunity to produce and direct films.
Tom Cruise's new film "A Few Good Men," produced by Castle Rock and distributed by Columbia, has grossed $4200 million in less than two weeks.
Besides, the reputation of "A Few Good Men" is also very good! "So, who will be Tom's main agent in the future?"
With Paula Wagner transitioning, someone needs to take over Tom Cruise's agency business.
"Veteran agent Pat Kingsley will take over Tom's management!"
Aaron nodded. Pat Kingsley was already 60 years old, had strong public relations skills, and had a huge network of contacts.
Anne Rice, the author of Interview with the Vampire, is opposed to Tom appearing in the film. What do you think?
Aaron suddenly asked, although "Interview with the Vampire" is still in the process of script adaptation, it does not hinder the preparation of the project.
"It's not about me, Aaron, but what do you and David Geffen think?"
"You know Tom never lacks scripts!"
The main reason why Tom Cruise was invited to star in "Interview with the Vampire" was that Tom Cruise himself was interested in the novel;
This is where Paula Wagner and Tom Cruise's confidence comes from.
Aaron smiled and said, "Have you signed an exclusive agreement with Paramount and are you preparing your first film?"
"Paramount does have a project; they want to adapt the 1960s TV series Mission: Impossible."
"When it was broadcast on CBS, the ratings were very high. The producer was Paramount Television."
Paula Wagner didn't hide anything, after all, Tom Cruise also liked the TV series and really wanted to be involved;
However, the formal preparations have not yet begun. Tom Cruise has just finished filming "The Trap" and will most likely film "Interview with the Vampire" next!
"Mission: Impossible," Aaron certainly knows this movie series. It can be said that the Mission: Impossible series will be Tom Cruise's most important label in the future.
"Don't worry, Mr. David Geffen has already talked to Tom, and when the time comes, he will go to star in Interview with the Vampire."
Aaron smiled. In fact, he was not too worried. Tom Cruise's "Far From Home" this summer only earned $5800 million at the North American box office, although the global box office totaled $1.3 million.
But the production cost of "Far From Home" is $6000 million, which is not low. Add to that the high publicity and promotion costs, and the total investment is quite high.
After starring in a series of commercial films, Tom Cruise's recently released "A Few Good Men" has been recognized by filmmakers. For different types of films such as "Interview with the Vampire", Tom Cruise also wants to try some different roles!
However, after hearing that Mission: Impossible was going to be adapted into a TV series, Aaron felt that Suguang would also need to form its own TV division;
To produce TV series for TV stations, Shuguang cannot just focus on movies, it must also get involved in TV, and then own its own TV station.
"As for the director of 'Interview with the Vampire', I recommend Neil Jordan, the Irish director of 'The Crying Game', who was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director."
"I think the reputation of 'The Crying Game' will also have a brilliant performance at the Oscars next March. This is enough to prove the director's ability!"
Aaron was worried that Tom Cruise had high standards and looked down on these new directors. After all, Frank Darabont, the director of "The Shawshank Redemption", was a good example.
Paula Wagner smiled and said, "Tom will cooperate with the director in filming!"
