Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 236 A Beauty with Oriental Charm

Kate Beckinsale already possesses an oriental beauty, and now at just 21 years old, she is even more youthful;

Compared to beauties with purely Western looks, Aaron has always preferred actresses with oriental charm.

Sophie Marceau, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Winona Ryder are all like this, and now Kate Beckinsale is here!
In the morning, when Aaron woke up, he found Kate Beckinsale had already gotten up and was preparing breakfast, wearing a white men's shirt;

Her short and neat hair makes her look capable, and her long, white legs under her shirt make her look even more stunning.

"My dear, it's so early!"

After arriving in the kitchen, Aaron hugged the girl from behind, kissed her on the face, and reached into her shirt buttons.

"Well," Kate Beckinsale turned her head and kissed the man behind her, her whole body pressed against Aaron's chest, "Don't worry, you can eat it after the eggs and sausages are fried."

"I'm not in a hurry!" Aaron smiled and teased the beauty in his arms for a while. When the other's breathing became more rapid, he walked away.

"Okay, let's go have breakfast!"

Kate Beckinsale gave Aaron a reproachful look and followed suit by bringing out the plate.

After finishing breakfast, Aaron sat on the sofa with the sexy Kate Beckinsale in his arms, "Are you used to living in America?"

"It's not bad. I wasn't alone this year and spent some time in Paris. I've adapted pretty well to the environment!"

Kate Beckinsale said, rubbing her face on Aaron's, "As for you, I found out that you have a lot of scandals since I came to the United States;"

"Australian, French, British and American."

Aaron raised an eyebrow, "Hey, isn't that just random stuff written in the newspapers?"

There should also be ones from Mexico, Spain and Brazil, right?
Although Christiana Yeri is French now, she is still a French-Brazilian!
On the other hand, Dawn Pictures quickly purchased the adaptation rights to the comic book "Men in Black" and was ready to find someone to develop it;
When Disney was contacted through producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer to take over the script of "Bad Boys", Disney offered the current sky-high price.

"Three million dollars?" Aaron was sitting in his office at Dawn Pictures. He smiled when he heard Esther Beckett's report.

300 million US dollars to buy an original script is definitely the top price nowadays. The script of "Basic Instinct" was at this level!

"Agree to Disney's price," Aaron said, waving his hand. "Will Smith, the lead actor in the sitcom 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,' has great comedic talent. I'll recommend him."

"Also, Salma Hayek, the actress in Ace Ventura, performed very well. She's of Mexican descent, and Bad Boys takes place in Miami anyway, so let her play the female role there!"

Esther Beckett nodded. Sure enough, her boss had already had a complete idea before going to Disney to buy the script.

In this way, the preparation time for "Bad Boys" can be greatly saved, and it may even be released at the earliest by the end of next year.

Is $300 million expensive? Of course it is, but the script is definitely worth it, after all, it has the support of Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer.
As for Salma Hayek, Aaron feels that this woman is indeed serious about acting, her acting skills are not bad, her figure is sexy and enchanting, and her beauty can be cultivated!

Although, Aaron actually thinks that Penelope Cruz from Spain is also possible, as she is also a sexy Latin beauty; it’s just that Penelope Cruz is still in Spain and has not come to Hollywood.

Just before Thanksgiving in 1993, Joe Roth, chairman of th Century Fox Film Group, resigned;

As a client of CAA, Joe Roth originally planned to set up his own independent film company, but under the lobbying of Michael Ovitz, he was ready to join Disney and be responsible for Disney's live-action movies!

After all, Disney Chairman and CEO Michael Eisner and Disney Animation and Film Entertainment head Jeffrey Katzenberg are now at loggerheads, and Michael Eisner hopes Joe Roth can replace Jeffrey Katzenberg;
Not only that, Jeffrey Katzenberg bypassed Roy Disney, chairman of Disney Animation, and gave orders directly to the animation department, which also made Roy Disney, a member of the Disney board of directors, dissatisfied.

However, the more significant news in Hollywood is that Viacom Group has offered $107 billion to acquire Paramount Communications;

This was more than $1 billion higher than Barry Diller's previous QVC offer, and Barry Diller then announced his withdrawal from the competition.

At this point, Summer Redstone's Viacom acquired Paramount Communications for $107 billion;

It owns Paramount Entertainment Group, Simon & Schuster Publishing Group, MSG Group, and 50% of USA Cable Network (Universal's parent company MCA Group owns the other half)!

At the Bel-Air Hotel in Beverly Hills, Summer Redstone specially hosted a grand and luxurious Hollywood-style party;
More than 300 people attended the event, including entrepreneurs, politicians, bankers, film company executives, various Hollywood stars, media professionals, etc.

Because "The Philadelphia Story" will be released in December, Aaron specially brought Monica Bellucci, who was promoting the movie, with him!

"Oh, Mr. Buss, what a coincidence," Aaron hugged Monica Bellucci. He really didn't expect to meet Jerry Buss.

Jerry Buss smiled and said, "Aaron, Mr. Redstone is now considered the owner of the New York Knicks;"

"The three of us now have the same identity!"

Aaron slapped his forehead and said, "I almost forgot, the New York Knicks are an asset of the MSG Group."

The most valuable clubs in the league right now are nothing more than the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers;
The Knicks are now a powerhouse in the Eastern Conference, on par with the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference, but the Lakers now seem like trash.

"Recently, another NBA club transaction has been completed. Michael Jordan's retirement has had a significant impact on the NBA!"

Jerry Buss sighed.

Of course Aaron knew this, after all, the team that just completed the deal was the San Antonio Spurs, a team from Texas;

Businessman Pete Holt, along with 22 investors, bought the San Antonio Spurs for $7500 million!
Aaron smiled and said, "The Lakers' performance isn't very good right now, and I heard that the Lakers and Johnson's contract is only halfway through."

That year, Jerry Buss and "Magic" Johnson signed a 25-year, $2500 million contract that shocked the league.
Who would have thought that Johnson would retire last year due to AIDS?

Now, the Lakers have to continue paying the other party's contract salary...
