Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 199 The Biggest Winner
"The Pain of Reality" opened in 1100 theaters in North America, grossing $550 million in its first three days.

The movie has a good reputation, but it is a niche work after all, and the investment is not high, so Aaron did not pay too much attention to it.

Compared to "The Pain of Reality", Aaron is more concerned about the romantic comedy "Four Weddings and a Funeral" which will be released next month;
British actor Hugh Grant and French actress Sophie Marceau.

"This should be your last spring break!"

Aaron and Jennifer Connelly enjoyed the sunshine and sea breeze on the private beach near their luxurious villa in Point Dume in Malibu.

"Yeah, I'm about to graduate anyway, and I've already read the script you gave me, 'My Best Friend's Wedding';"

"It's a romantic comedy with a strong female character. Who are you going to find to partner with me?"

Jennifer Connelly asked, "My Best Friend's Wedding" is a low-cost romantic comedy with simple production, and Dawn is also planning to release it next year.

"Oh, do you have any recommendations?"

Jennifer Connelly thought for a moment, "How about Nicole Kidman or Winona Ryder?"

Aaron smiled and said, "The two of them, or people like Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan joining;"

"Wouldn't your importance in the movie be reduced?"

"So, it's better to find a newer, less famous actor!"

Jennifer Connelly nodded. "Is that so?"

"Of course, when the time comes, after your Speed is released, you can make My Best Friend's Wedding!"

On the afternoon of March 1992, 3, the 29th Academy Awards were held at the Music Center in downtown Los Angeles;

Aaron brought Sophie Marceau to this year's Oscars to promote the upcoming romantic comedy "Four Weddings and a Funeral".

There is no doubt that Schindler's List produced by Shuguang and directed by Steven Spielberg is the biggest winner of this year;

It won seven major awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Cinematography.

"The Crying Game" won Best Original Screenplay;
"Scent of a Woman" also won Al Pacino the coveted Oscar for Best Actor!

Backstage at the Music Center, Winona Ryder and Aaron hugged each other and said, "Congratulations, you are the biggest winner tonight."

"Dracula" won three technical awards, including Best Costume and Best Makeup;

Winona Ryder, as the heroine, also attended the Oscars, and she also made a guest appearance in "Scent of a Woman".

Aaron pinched Winona Ryder's waist and said, "Come celebrate with us tonight. You have Jewish ancestry too."

Winona Ryder smiled and said, "You have the beautiful French Rose, Sophie Marceau, by your side!"

At this moment, Sophie Marceau is chatting with her French compatriot Catherine Deneuve.

Catherine Deneuve was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress for her role in the French romance film "The Last Dance," but unfortunately lost to Emma Thompson in the film "Howards End."

But "The Last Dance" also won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and Sophie Marceau sent her blessings to the other crew!

Aaron dragged Winona Ryder to a storage room backstage, hugged the girl and kissed her;
Winona Ryder also hugged the man tightly and responded enthusiastically. More than half an hour later, Aaron and Winona Ryder, whose knees were weak, left the storage room together!
"How is it, participating in the Oscars, doesn't it feel very different?"

Leaving the Los Angeles Music Center and heading to the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood, Aaron in the back seat smiled and asked Sophie Marceau next to him.

Sophie Marceau kissed the man and said, "I've been in the industry for so many years, but I don't have many awards to my name. This is my first time participating in an Oscar!"

Sophie Marceau has been famous for her beauty since her debut. She won the Best Newcomer Award at the French César Awards for "First Kiss 2" in her early years, but she has not won any acting awards since then.

Aaron patted the girl's thigh and comforted her: "Take your time, there will be a chance!"

With the successful conclusion of the 65th Academy Awards, Dawn Pictures, as the biggest winner, received unanimous recognition from the film industry.

Not only that, it also achieved great success commercially, with the North American box office exceeding 6000 million US dollars;
The North American box office of "Scent of a Woman" has also exceeded 5000 million US dollars and has begun to be released overseas;

As for "Schindler's List", it has exceeded 8000 million US dollars in North America and 1.5 million US dollars overseas!
On the evening of April Fool's Day, Aaron was hugging Sophie Marceau in the bedroom of his villa in Bel Air when he suddenly received a call from Franklin Templeton Investments.

"Has Limited Brands owner Les Wexner agreed to sell Victoria's Secret?"

Aaron seemed a little excited and received a roll of the eyes from Sophie Marceau in her arms.

"what price?"

"Franklin Templeton Investments acquires Victoria's Secret from Limited Brands Group for $11.5 billion!"

Aaron invested $6000 million in cash in the acquisition of Victoria's Secret, and Franklin Templeton Fund spent $11.5 billion this time;
All in all, Aaron owns about 5.2% of Victoria's Secret shares.

"The plan can begin!"

Aaron smiled, put down his phone, and kissed Sophie Marceau fiercely on the mouth. "Looks like I have to go to New York again."

Sophie Marceau stretched and said, "Well, I have to go promote Four Weddings and a Funeral, and then I have to go back to France to participate in some promotional activities for the movie Fanfang;"

"You'll probably go to the Cannes Film Festival next month, right?"

Aaron nodded, "I will!"

This time, Shuguang has several films that will be exhibited and promoted at the Cannes Film Festival.

The Chinese film "Farewell My Concubine" and the Australian film "The Piano Lesson" are participating in the exhibition, while films like "The Mask of Zorro" are being promoted, and there is also co-production work on the new film "Rumble in the Bronx" and so on.

"Four Weddings and a Funeral will first premiere in London and then return to Los Angeles;"

"When the time comes, after the European promotions, I will stay in France for a while and then wait for you in Cannes!"

Sophie Marceau said, kissing Aaron on the cheek, "Don't change your mind again when the time comes."

"No, how can a man resist your temptation?"

Aaron rubbed the girl's body and said, "Maybe we'll find a project worth acquiring!"

Dawn is now very popular, and this trip to Cannes will surely be fruitful.
