Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 258 A pair of brothers in distress

"Huh," Aaron let out a long breath as he leaned back in his chair in a car on the street near the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre;

After a while, Aaron released his hands from the girl's hair, and Winona Ryder, who was leaning over, also raised her head.

Then, she picked up a tissue from the car seat and wiped her mouth. Winona Ryder glanced at Aaron and said, "Can't we wait until we get home? Why do we have to wait in the car?"

Aaron smiled and reached out to rub the other man's chest, "It's a little different, isn't it?"

Winona Ryder rolled her eyes and said, "Anyway, you just like to bully me."

Aaron leaned over to Winona Ryder's ear and said, "Tonight, I want to bully you in bed!"

"Smooth talk," Winona Ryder also smiled, "Come to my place later."

Aaron nodded. Of course, they could go to the other party's villa in West Hollywood. As he spoke, he reached out and stroked the girl's thigh and asked, "How was the filming of "Little Women" that just finished?"

The novel of the same name as Little Women is a novel written by American female writer Louisa May Alcott;
As a famous writer, Louisa May Alcott's masterpiece was a bestseller at the time, and it is also an enduring children's literature, coming-of-age literature, family realism literature and early women's literature.

"Well, it feels pretty good. The screenwriter Robin Swicord is a woman, the director is Australian female director Gillian Armstrong, and there are several actresses including me;"

“With the support of Amy Pascal, Executive Vice President of Production at distributor Columbia Pictures, ‘Little Women’ was made possible!”

The movie "Little Women" is made up of entirely women, from Amy Pascal, the representative of the distribution company, to the screenwriters, actors, and directors.

"Amy Pascal!" Aaron shook his head in his heart. The other party joined Sony Columbia after leaving 20th Century Fox last year.

Amy Pascal was originally invited by Aaron to join Dawn, but it didn't work out. As Joe Ross's deputy, after Joe Ross left, Amy Pascal still chose to join Dawn!
In fact, the production of "Little Women" is inseparable from the promotion of Amy Pascal. In the early years, Amy Pascal spent a long time purchasing the copyright of the novel from various studios;

Although Amy Pascal had always loved the novel, most studios believed that audiences would not be interested in a film with many women, especially women in long skirts.

After Amy Pascal joined Sony Columbia, she actively promoted "Little Women". After persuading Winona Ryder to star in the film, Columbia gave the green light to the film!
Looking down at Winona Ryder who was still lying on him, Aaron rubbed the girl's messy hair a few more times and asked, "Why, weren't you full just now?"

Winona Ryder smiled, reached out and grabbed it directly, "Yes, yes."

Aaron's eyes widened, and he quickly stroked Winona Ryder on his legs, "Okay, honey, we still have a whole night..."

With the arrival of late February, the North American box office of "The Philadelphia Story" officially exceeded 2 million US dollars;
The North American box office of "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" has also exceeded 4000 million US dollars, and the trend is encouraging!

However, Aaron took Nicole Kidman to Sydney, Australia for vacation to enjoy the beach and sea breeze.

Just last month, on Australia Day, January 1994, 1, Prince Charles of the United Kingdom was invited to present an award at Darling Harbour in Sydney. He was suddenly stabbed by a Korean resident who pulled out a pistol and fired two shots, but no damage was done!
Aaron casually flipped through the newspaper, showing no interest in any European royal news. "Hey, Hollywood star Kevin Costner and director Kevin Reynolds are also in Australia;"

"I heard they're looking for attractions for Universal Pictures' apocalyptic sci-fi blockbuster Waterworld!"

On the beach, sexy Nicole Kidman half leaned on a beach chair, flipping through the newspaper in her hand, which was about Hollywood superstar Kevin Costner;
Previously, the two had collaborated on the popular romance film "Ghost", so they must be familiar with each other.

Aaron put down the newspaper and said, "It looks like Waterworld will start filming this year."

Waterworld mainly tells the story that in the year 2500 AD, due to human's desperate plunder of nature and extreme selfishness, the earth's ozone layer was destroyed, causing the melting of Antarctic glaciers and the earth was covered by a vast ocean.

As a result, in order to survive, humans had to live on the ocean. To this end, humans built floating islands. Since soil had become extremely precious at this time, people were very eager to live on land as recorded in history...

The leading actor of the movie is Hollywood superstar Kevin Costner, who has the action movie "Wyatt Earp" invested and distributed by Warner Bros. to be released this summer.

Another modern war film, "Childhood in the Tree House," will also be released this year.

"It should be soon. Kevin Costner and director Kevin Reynolds were originally scouting locations between Australia and Hawaii;"

"However, Australia has entered winter since June, and it is also hurricane season. I guess the final destination will be Hawaii!"

Nicole Kidman finished speaking and then asked, "I heard that the investment in this movie is not small."

Aaron hugged the girl and stroked her thigh. "Universal has prepared $1.5 million for this Waterworld.

"It directly surpassed the $1.15 million production cost of last year's action film 'True Lies' directed by James Cameron and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger!"

You should know that previously only "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" and "True Lies" directed by James Cameron had a production budget of more than 1 million US dollars.

Aaron smiled, "No wonder Kevin Costner didn't have time to appear in Dawn's Con Air. It turns out he was preparing for the Universal Studios blockbuster Waterworld!"

Kevin Costner is not only the leading actor in "Waterworld," but also the producer of the film.

Aaron may remember that when Waterworld was filming off the coast of Hawaii, it encountered Hawaii’s hurricane season;
Unpredictable sea tides and recurring typhoons caused the scenes built for the movie "Waterworld" to be flooded again and again, resulting in increasing costs, which finally seemed to have reached $2 million!

Carlock is preparing for "Cutthroat Island", while Universal is also preparing for "Waterworld". They are really a pair of brothers in distress.
