Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 209 You are playing with fire

In the bedroom of a villa near Voltaire Quai, on the south bank of the Seine in Paris.

Sophie Marceau, breathing heavily, threw back the quilt on the bed and patted Aaron on her body, "Don't you feel hot?"

"Well, a little bit," Aaron smiled and rolled over, "It's all because you're so tempting that I don't want to stop!"

Sophie Marceau leaned into the man's arms, rubbing her sexy body against him. "The French branch of Dawn seems to be doing well. The marketing plan for the movie 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' is pretty good."

"Now, Dawn's international box office is also getting higher and higher, which is something worth celebrating."

Aaron raised the corner of his mouth and reached out to caress the girl's plump figure. "I heard that Gaumont Films supports Luc Besson to make a movie in Hollywood."

“Yes, this project originated from an idea he had a few years ago when he was preparing the movie ‘Nikita’;”

"A French arthouse action film shot in Hollywood style. The script is called 'Léon: The Professional'."

"A collaboration between French film company Gaumont and Columbia Pictures, Luc Besson originally wanted to make a large-scale science fiction film, but the budget he set was too big!"

Luc Besson wanted to develop a French science fiction film, but the investment was huge, so he could only find a large Hollywood film company to cooperate with, which was Sony Columbia.

However, due to the high investment, it is necessary to focus on the Hollywood market. Columbia's suggestion is to use big-name Hollywood stars.

The "Léon: The Professional" project is Luc Besson's trial work in Hollywood. The budget of that science fiction film has a lot to do with the performance of this film!

"Léon: The Professional?" Aaron certainly knew this movie, a French arthouse action film that had received high praise internationally.

As for that science fiction film, it must be "The Fifth Element".

Luc Besson can be said to be the best French director who can shoot commercial films...

As "The Mask of Zorro" opened in 2500 theaters in North America, it earned $2200 million in box office in the first three days of its weekend;

Kevin Costner's strong appeal is really surprising!

Later, in late May, the crew of The Mask of Zorro, director Ridley Scott, and leading actors Kevin Costner and Catherine Zeta-Jones attended a grand red carpet event in Madrid, Spain;

After all, it is a story about the Latin American world, so it is normal to hold the premiere in Spain, and Aaron also traveled from Paris to Madrid.

Aaron had no expectations of meeting the Spanish royal family. Of course, if the royal family had not come forward, Dawn would not have specially held such a grand premiere in Spain.

Or, they will just invite an actor or director to show up in Madrid. At least, superstars like Kevin Costner probably won’t come!

At the party after the movie, Aaron and Catherine Zeta-Jones were sitting on the sofa and taking a rest. Aaron asked each other with a smile, "How is it? Does it feel different after the release of this movie?"

"Your beauty has left a lasting impression on many viewers."

Catherine Zeta-Jones nodded and kissed Aaron on the cheek again. "It's very different. There are a lot of media interviews now, and the exposure has greatly increased."

"My agent has also received more scripts and advertising campaigns. After the broadcast of Mayflower Season 3 last year, production stopped and I haven't had any new projects for a long time. "If it weren't for The Mask of Zorro, I don't know what I would do?"

After all, Catherine Zeta-Jones was just a TV star in the UK, but after this incident, she became the leading actress of Hollywood blockbusters;
His status and popularity skyrocketed, his fame spread wildly, and he became famous in Hollywood.

"Edward Zwick is going to film a historical romance film, "Legends of the Phoenix," adapted from a novel;"

"We need a female role in this film, and there will be some horseback riding scenes. You happen to be able to do that, so you can play the female lead!"

"Braveheart" is still in preparation and will definitely start filming in the second half of the year.

"Edward Zwick, the director of Ghost," Catherine Zeta-Jones' eyes lit up when she heard it.
"'Legends of the Phoenix', is the dawn ready?"

Aaron shook his head. "Not yet. We'll probably have to wait until the end of the year to start filming. Edward Zwick is very serious about adapting the script."

"As for the original novel, you can buy it and read it first!"

"Okay," Catherine Zeta-Jones kissed Aaron on the mouth and said affectionately,
"I'll stay with you tonight, because I'm leaving tomorrow..."

Afterwards, Aaron chatted with the film's director Ridley Scott and the actor Kevin Costner for a while.

After filming the epic botch "1492: The Conquest of Paradise", Ridley Scott regained his confidence with this wonderful adventure action film "The Mask of Zorro";
As for Kevin Costner, this year he has another western crime drama starring Clint Eastwood, "A Perfect World," waiting to be released;
Kevin Costner is currently filming the Warner Bros. biopic "Wyatt Earp."

"Mr. Anderson, remember me? I'm Penelope Cruz. We met at the Venice Film Festival last year!"

Suddenly, the sexy Spanish girl Penelope Cruz came to Aaron. She was also there to attend the premiere of "The Mask of Zorro".

"Of course I remember you. You were so memorable in 'Ham, Ham'!"

Aaron smiled and hugged the girl.

Penelope Cruz put her lips to Aaron's face and smiled. "Really? Then, do you like my performance in the play?"

Aaron leaned close to the other person's ear and said, "Unfortunately, when I was enjoying "Ham, Ham", my eyes were fixed on your figure;"

"Also, I heard that your other work, 'The Lover of Four Thousand Golds,' has an even better reputation!"

"The Lover of Four Thousand Golds" won the Golden Bear Award at this year's Berlin International Film Festival;
She also won great prizes at the Spanish Goya Awards in March of this year, which was even more successful than the film "Ham, Ham" in which she starred.

"No matter how high the reputation is, it can't compare to what Shuguang achieved at the Cannes Film Festival. 'The Piano' and 'Farewell My Concubine' shared the Palme d'Or. Congratulations!"

Penelope Cruz said, deliberately sticking to Aaron, "My figure on the screen should not be intuitive and clear enough;"

"Mr. Anderson, would you like to come and see or feel it for yourself?"

Aaron lifted the other person's chin and said, "You are playing with fire. Call me Aaron..."
