Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 221 The Profound Actress

After Sugon officially made its offer to AMC, Aaron waited for Charles Dolan’s choice, as AMC was not that important under CVC after all;

On the other hand, Viacom offered $82 billion hoping to buy out Paramount Communications' shareholders at a premium, but QVC, the TV shopping network led by Barry Diller, the Hollywood godfather who was once the CEO of Paramount Pictures Group, offered $95 billion!
Summer Redstone, chairman of Viacom Group, was the first entertainment tycoon to declare that content is king, and he seems to attach more importance to Paramount than Viacom itself.
In order to raise sufficient cash flow, Viacom turned its attention to Blockbuster, the world's largest video rental chain.

In mid-August, the world was shocked when news broke that James Jordan, the father of NBA superstar Michael Jordan, had been murdered.

James Jordan was missing for 3 weeks before his body was found on the South Carolina border. After testing, it was found that James Jordan was killed in North Carolina!
Although the police finally determined that this was a random robbery and murder, various conspiracy theories about Michael Jordan are rampant;

The media has sparked various discussions surrounding issues such as Michael Jordan's family, his gambling debts, and the disposal of his body.

Michael Jordan had always been in trouble with gambling, from being criticized by the NBA, to being photographed by reporters hanging around the casino in the early hours of the playoffs, to having a drug creditor publish a book revealing that Michael Jordan owed debts, and so on!

Aaron knew that Michael Jordan was not far from his first retirement.

In Dawn's New York office, Aaron was holding a script submitted by new screenwriter Andrew Walker;

The name of the script is "Seven Deadly Sins". It is covered in a religious shell and is used to discuss the gradual decline of human nature under the developed material civilization of modern society. The theme of the script is also very rich, involving many aspects such as sin and punishment, human nature, and redemption.

The seven deadly sins of the Catholic Church - gluttony, greed, laziness, envy, lust, pride and wrath - were used to commit serial murders;

It has a strong religious color and gathers the dark side of human nature!

"It's a very good script. Give it to David Fincher to read. It's dark, religious, and suspenseful. It's very suitable for him to direct."

Aaron instructed Esther Beckett that the unpleasant experience during the filming of Alien 3 made David Fincher a little afraid of directing a movie;

Aaron is not too worried. Such a good script definitely meets David Fincher's requirements!
Moreover, Aaron had worked with him on "Phone Booth" before, so he certainly wouldn't completely deny his directorial authority like 3th Century Fox did on "Alien ";
On the contrary, Aaron will fully support David Fincher's filming process.

Hilton Hotel, Midtown Manhattan.

Aaron and Jennifer Connelly attended a drinks party together!
"Aaron, Speed has grossed over $9000 million at the North American box office in just over a month since its release."

"It has been released in overseas markets one after another, and has now exceeded 5000 million US dollars."

Jennifer Connelly is excited because this is her highest-grossing film to date.

Aaron nodded. "The Pain of Reality" grossed about $3500 million worldwide and was also a film starring Jennifer Connelly this year.
"Speed" is certainly excellent, but another summer movie produced by Dawn, "The Mask of Zorro", has grossed $1.4 million in North America and has exceeded $1.8 million overseas!
Aaron kissed the girl on the cheek and said, "You're kind of famous again now. You just graduated from Stanford University and you have a hit movie. Isn't that great?"

Jennifer Connelly smiled and said, "This is all thanks to you. Otherwise, I would have starred in those large-scale films like "Boiling Point"." "I guess I wouldn't have graduated from college normally!"

If she hadn't met Aaron Anderson, Jennifer Connelly would probably have accepted Orion's low-budget film, "The Boiling Point," after failing the audition for "Pretty Woman."
The actress who participated in the filming of "Hotspot" was Uma Thurman, who had just appeared in Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction".

"Aaron, it seems that the screenwriter of Tony Scott's film, 'Fatal Romance', was Quentin Tarantino, right?"

Aaron was stunned at first, then nodded, "It is indeed Quentin's script. Are you still paying attention to it?"

Although Tony Scott is the younger brother of director Ridley Scott and has made hit movies like Top Gun;
But then, he shot three action blockbusters in succession: "Days of Thunder" starring Tom Cruise, "Revenge" starring Kevin Costner, and "The Commando" starring Bruce Willis, but the reputations did not meet his expectations, and he fell into a slump.

Jennifer Connelly shook her head. "'Fatal Romance' is coming out in September. I've met the film's lead actress, Patricia Arquette, before and we talked about it."

"Hey, not only that, but the action crime film 'Natural Born Killers' that Oliver Stone is currently filming is also based on a script by Quentin Tarantino!"

On the other side, Winona Ryder also arrived at the cocktail party with her new friend Gwyneth Paltrow;
Gwyneth Paltrow comes from an acting family and is also the goddaughter of the famous director Steven Spielberg. Her debut work at the age of 19 was "Hook"!
"Hey, Winona, don't you know Aaron Anderson?"

Gwyneth Paltrow pulled Winona Ryder aside and said, "Look, was that him just passing over there?"

Winona Ryder glanced over and saw Aaron put down his empty glass and sat on the sofa, "It's Aaron Anderson!"

"Please introduce him to me. All the women in Hollywood want to meet him now."

Winona Ryder raised her eyebrows. “Well, let’s go over there!”

Looking at the look in Gwyneth Paltrow's eyes, she felt straight, and Winona Ryder also knew that Aaron Anderson was a man who could not resist the temptation of beauty;
Gwyneth Paltrow has a good figure, is young, fashionable and beautiful. I guess Aaron Anderson can't resist her temptation?

Aaron Anderson, who was sitting on the sofa, discovered an actor who left a deep impression on him!

Young Jennifer Aniston was indeed sexy and beautiful before "Friends" was aired;
Although Dawn TV has been cooperating with Michael Crichton to develop the TV series "ER" after being introduced by Spielberg, how could Aaron miss "Friends"?

"Good evening, Aaron!"

Winona Ryder brought Gwyneth Paltrow to Aaron's side.
