Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 224: Sexual Assault Can Also Be Awarded
The Arclight Theatre, Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles.

"The Philadelphia Story," directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington, held a press screening;

Aaron specially brought Monica Bellucci to attend this promotion event!
"The lingerie advertisement you shot for Victoria's Secret was so sexy," Aaron hugged and kissed the sexy Monica Bellucci in the theater's dressing room;

While reaching into the girl's neckline, he felt her 36D.

Monica Bellucci smiled, her back pressed against the man's arms. "I heard you're going to hold a lingerie fashion show for Victoria's Secret. Is that true?"

"Yes, it's in New York, and it's tentatively scheduled to be held in November!"

Aaron actually didn't pay much attention to it. After all, after Victoria's Secret was separated from Limited Brands, it hired new managers to take charge of the business.

"By the way, Twilight Pictures, a subsidiary of Dawn, has received some horror film scripts and is preparing to develop them. You can be the leading actress then."

“After The Philadelphia Story comes out, I think some people will get to know you!”

As for Monica Bellucci's recent cameo in "Interview with the Vampire," Aaron doesn't really care;
Although her role is larger than her previous one in "Dracula: Bram Stoker", it is only a minor supporting role. Moreover, her body is not shown, so not many people will notice it.

"Okay!" Monica Bellucci responded with a somewhat rapid breath.

"Aaron, is the movie about to start?"

"Well, it's almost time. We should go out to the hall..."

Jonathan Demme’s film “The Philadelphia Story” touches on many themes, but the most important of them are homosexuality and AIDS;

These two issues are very sensitive and controversial in today's American society, because many people are prejudiced and fearful of homosexuals and people with AIDS, believing that they are abnormal, immoral, unclean, and unsafe people who should be excluded and discriminated against!

The Philadelphia Story exposes the widespread discrimination against homosexuals and AIDS patients in society by showing the unfair treatment suffered by the protagonist Andrew at work, at home, in court and other different settings.

At the same time, the film also praises the value and rights of homosexuals and AIDS patients as human individuals by showing the excellent qualities of courage, dignity, persistence, optimism and other excellent qualities demonstrated by the male protagonist Andrew in the challenges of illness, prejudice and death.

Of course, in addition to describing the issues of homosexuality and AIDS, Jonathan Demme also touched upon other themes through "Philadelphia Story", such as law and justice, humanity and compassion, love and family, etc.!
Reporters at the press conference generally gave high marks to "The Philadelphia Story," and ordinary people were also moved by the movie;
"The Philadelphia Story", as a Hollywood work that directly faces AIDS, tells a social issue.

The performance of the male lead, Tom Hanks, is even more outstanding. His superb acting skills and realistic character image are moving!
"Jonathan, I've read the script of Red Dragon. After this revision, it's already very good;"

“I think it’s time to start production.”

Backstage at the theater, Aaron specifically sought out director Jonathan Demme to talk about his film project, "The Silence of the Lambs: Red Dragon."
Jonathan Demme was not very satisfied with the script and it was still being revised.

Jonathan Demme smiled and said, "I've seen it too. I'll prepare it as soon as possible. There's no problem with Anthony Hopkins, but we're still lacking a good actor."

Aaron nodded and said, "The budget for Red Dragon: The Silence of the Lambs will not be less than $4500 million. Many actors can be approached!" "Okay, I will select the actors and filming should start by the end of the year," Jonathan Demme responded.
It is September now, and three months of preparation is enough, after all, the project has been in preparation for such a long time.

In the evening, Aaron and Monica Bellucci were driving along Sunset Boulevard on their way back to Beverly Hills when they spotted the now-reopened Viper House bar;
Ever since Johnny Depp became a partner of the Viper House Club, the bar has become a gathering place for many Hollywood stars!

"Aaron, what's going on in this bar?"

Monica Bellucci in the passenger seat asked with some confusion.

Aaron smiled and reached out to stroke the girl's thigh, "Johnny Depp is one of the owners of this club!"

Of course, Aaron remembered it, definitely not because of Johnny Depp, but because Aaron remembered that River Phoenix died in this bar.

"Johnny Depp, that's Winona Ryder's ex-boyfriend, right?"

After all, Monica Bellucci has participated in the movie "Dracula" starring Winona Ryder, so she is quite familiar with Winona Ryder.

"Well, that's him!"

Monica Bellucci was unfamiliar with the subject, and then she remembered something else. "Aaron, did you follow the Venice International Film Festival held at the end of last month?"

Aaron nodded. "Yes, the winners of the Golden Lion Award are the American film "Crossroads" and the French film "Blue of the Blue Trilogy."

"Intersection" is directed by Robert Altman and stars Tim Robbins and Jennifer Jason Leigh;
As for "Blue", it was directed by Polish-French director Krzysztof Kieslowski. It is the first part of the "Blue, White and Red" trilogy, and the heroine is Juliette Binoche.

Monica Bellucci smiled and said, "This year's Venice Film Festival was very lively. Four people won the Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement;"

"They are Hollywood director Steven Spielberg, Hollywood actor Robert De Niro, Polish-French director Roman Polanski and Italian veteran actress Claudia Cardinale!"

Aaron was stunned for a moment and curled his lips. "Even Roman Polanski can win the Golden Lion Award for Lifetime Achievement?"

"This guy is a sex offender? He's also a wanted criminal in the United States!"

Aaron shook his head. Two Jews and two Italians, one of whom was Robert De Niro, who was originally Italian-American.

"Director Roman Polanski is very famous in Europe, and his films are very artistic."

Monica Bellucci explained with a smile that she didn't expect Aaron Anderson's focus would be here.

Then, she thought of something and continued to remind him, "Oh, right, the North American distributor of Krzysztof Kieslowski's Blue, White, and Red Trilogy seems to be Miramax..."
