Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 214 Wearing a bachelor's degree gown

After "Jurassic Park" opened with a record-breaking weekly box office in North America, it continued to soar, accumulating $1.2 million in just two weeks!
Jurassic Park has also received a lot of praise:

The New York Times: "'Jurassic Park' is a true cinematic milestone, delivering awe and terror unlike anything ever seen in film."

The Philadelphia Inquirer: "The earth-shaking tread of those dinosaurs in the movie 'Jurassic Park' is graphic and terrifying. Director Spielberg's dinosaur special effects team created a Mesozoic zoo whose authenticity surpasses anything in film history."

However, among the positive reviews, there are also some negative ones:
Canada's Globe and Mail: "Jurassic Park has some thrills, some horror and shock, but it has no poetry, no sense of wonder, no resonant dialogue, and no artistic sense."

The Times: "The human characters in Jurassic Park are forgettable and utterly insignificant;"

Chicago Sun-Times: "The film lacks other more important qualities, such as awe and wonder, as well as enough humanity and story value!"

However, no matter what, this "Jurassic Park" is epoch-making;

The visual presentation of "Jurassic Park" made it a milestone in film visual effects, and directly led to the groundbreaking use of computer-generated images in film production!
Dawn Pictures' "The Mask of Zorro" has grossed over $8000 million at the North American box office after just one month of release.
The film has also been released in overseas markets and has now exceeded 5000 million US dollars...

In Los Angeles, the 19th Saturn Awards was held. As an award ceremony established by the Academy of Science Fiction and Horror Films of the United States, specifically for science fiction, fantasy and horror films, Aaron did not pay much attention to it;
However, this year "Dracula" won several awards including Best Horror Film, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Costume Design.

As the producer of "Dracula: Bram Stoker's Dracula," Aaron specially accompanied director Francis Ford Coppola to attend this year's Saturn Awards;

In fact, Twilight Pictures, a subsidiary of Dawn, specializes in developing horror and bloody B-movies.

"Peter Jackson, 'Out of the Blue'!"

The awards ceremony was held in Burbank, and Aaron seemed to spot an "acquaintance" at the scene, 32-year-old New Zealand director Peter Jackson;
A low-cost, bloody, violent and absurd horror film "Out of the Blue" brought Peter Jackson into Hollywood.

This is the director of the "Lord of the Rings" series, and Aaron quickly thought of Tolkien's fantasy masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings" and other series of novels!

Soon, Aaron called Esther Beckett and asked her to find out where the adaptation rights for Tolkien's novel series "The Lord of the Rings" lay.
Last year, Dawn acquired the film adaptation rights for the comic book Spider-Man character from Marvel Studios, and now it's normal to have another "Lord of the Rings" series.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

In the ballroom of the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood, Winona Ryder came over and clinked glasses with Aaron.

"Oh, nothing," Aaron smiled, "You almost won the Saturn Award for Best Actress."

Winona Ryder was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Actress for her role in "400: Dracula", but lost to Virginia Madsen, the sexy actress in "Bee Man"!
"By the way, when will Martin Scorsese's film, The Age of Innocence, be released?"

Winona Ryder shrugged. "It's in August."

The male and female protagonists in "The Age of Innocence" are Daniel Day-Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer respectively, and Winona Ryder is the supporting actress in it;

Although the upcoming film "Little Women" is a group drama, Winona Ryder is the heroine of the movie!

Winona Ryder looked at Aaron and said, "Dawn just slayed at the Oscars, and the two films released in the summer, Four Weddings and a Funeral and The Mask of Zorro, also performed amazingly;"

"It seems that there is also an action movie called 'Speed' coming out in July, starring Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly."

Both of the protagonists have worked with Winona Ryder before, playing opposite Keanu Reeves in "Dracula"; Jennifer Connelly also has a role in "The Pain of Reality" which will be released in the spring!

"It's coming soon, in the middle of next month, with 'Speed'. I'm also looking forward to it," Aaron actually has some thoughts on 'The Mask of Zorro' because Kevin Costner is so popular right now.
Despite receiving rave reviews, "The Bodyguard" still managed to gross over $4 million worldwide.

Palo Alto, South Bay, San Francisco.

Aaron came all the way from Los Angeles to attend Jennifer Connelly's graduation ceremony at Stanford University.

"Dear, congratulations on your graduation!"

Jennifer Connelly, still in her graduation gown, attended her graduation ceremony outside Stanford University.

"Well, thank you!" Jennifer Connelly excitedly hugged Aaron and kissed him passionately.

After the kiss, the two got in the car, and Aaron couldn't help but praise, "This bachelor's gown is quite beautiful!"

Jennifer Connelly smiled. "Isn't it the same as other schools?"

Aaron blinked, "I guess this is Stanford University!"

Is Stanford University the same as any other university? Clothes don't matter; the school is what matters.

"Aaron, do you want to feel and try on your university graduation gown?"

Jennifer Connelly suddenly suggested.

Aaron was stunned for a moment. "That's pointless. Even if I want to get into Harvard, Princeton, or Yale University, it's not difficult!"

Aaron stroked Jennifer Connelly's thigh and said, "Besides, there are many graduates from prestigious universities working at Dawn Pictures now."

"I know you're awesome!"

Jennifer Connelly leaned over and kissed Aaron on the cheek again, "Speed is about to be released, and I have to participate in the promotion activities;"

"I have to go back to Los Angeles tomorrow. Do you have anything else to do?"

Aaron hugged the girl and said, "I might have to go to Canada. There's a co-production of a Chinese-language film being filmed in Vancouver, and I want to go see it!"

Of course, Aaron just wanted to meet Wang Zhuxian. The investment scale of "Rumble in the Bronx" was not worth Aaron's personal attention.

Jennifer Connelly breathed rapidly, "Then let's go back to the hotel and party!"

"Well, you just wear this bachelor's gown..."
