Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 274 Another Good News
In the Upper East Side, Aaron's villa was not far from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The two left before the ball was over.

As soon as they entered the villa, the two hugged each other and kissed passionately;
The sexy and beautiful Sophie Marceau's attraction to Aaron has never diminished!

"You haven't been paying much attention to the Cannes Film Festival that's currently underway?"

On the sofa, Sophie Marceau hugged Aaron Anderson who was lying on her and eating her, and suddenly asked.

"Cannes Film Festival, yes!" Aaron looked up and smiled. "Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction made a stunning debut and caused quite a stir in Cannes!"

"Pulp Fiction" can be regarded as a classic of postmodern black humor. Quentin Tarantino, based on his own preferences, combined his favorite characters, plots, dialogues, props, songs and other popular culture to create this alternative work full of wonders.

Aaron took off the girl's sexy evening gown and felt her softness. "Do you want to go to Cannes?"

Sophie Marceau breathed quickly, kissed Aaron on the cheek, and while helping him take off his clothes, she explained: "The Cannes Film Festival invited me to be the guest of honor at the closing ceremony;"

"I guess I'll fly to Cannes the day before the closing ceremony!"

"I see," Aaron caressed the girl's softness, "It's nothing. You're already very popular in France. It's reasonable for the Cannes Film Festival to invite you to be the award presenter."

"Well," Sophie Marceau hugged Aaron tightly and blocked the man's lips...

In the West Village in Lower Manhattan, at the New York office of Dawn Pictures, Paula Wagner came to visit Aaron Anderson.

"What's wrong, Paula?" Aaron poured her a glass of wine.

Paula Wagner smiled and said, "Nothing, I just accompanied Tom Cruise to participate in the promotion of "Interview with the Vampire"!"

"Interview with the Vampire" was released in June, starring two of Hollywood's top handsome men, Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt;

The promotional poster alone has attracted the expectations of many female fans.

"Is Anne Rice's side of things settled?"

The production of Interview with the Vampire was mainly handled by David Geffen, but Aaron didn't pay much attention to it;
But Aaron knew that Anne Rice, the author of the original novel, was not happy with Tom Cruise's casting.

Paula Wagner nodded, "We sent a videotape to Anne Rice, and after seeing Tom's performance, she changed her mind;"

"Now, Anne Rice is also calling on readers to go to the cinema to enjoy this work."

Aaron smiled and looked at the other person again. "Interview with the Vampire was filmed very well. Neil Jordan's directing ability deserves our recognition."

"Tom Cruise's stunning look and performance in the show are a huge breakthrough!"

"Yes, there has been a breakthrough," Paula Wagner agreed. "By the way, the filming of 'Con Air' is also progressing smoothly."

"Oh, so how's the preparation for your Mission: Impossible project going?"

As the first film of Cruise/Wagner Productions, Aaron also believes that Paula Wagner and Tom Cruise must have put their full energy into it.

"Once 'Con Air' is finished, we will officially start preparing for 'Mission Impossible'!"

As the Cannes Film Festival came to an end, Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" lived up to expectations and won the Palme d'Or. Although the filming cost of "Pulp Fiction" was not very high, it gathered stars such as Bruce Willis, John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman.

Aaron and William Singleton signed two acquisition contracts at Dawn headquarters in Burbank, Los Angeles;

One was Sugon's acquisition of the Houston Post Group for US$1.2 million, and the other was Sugon and Media News' joint acquisition of the Los Angeles Daily News, with Sugon owning 45% of the shares of the Los Angeles Daily News.

Aaron's sudden move to enter the newspaper industry really surprised many people, including News Corporation Chairman Rupert Murdoch, after all, he started his career with newspapers.

However, the one who was most unhappy about Dawn's acquisition of the Houston Post was of course the Hearst Corporation, which had been paying attention to the Houston Post for a long time.
Now that the Houston Post is on the verge of collapse, it has been acquired by Dawn?
William Hearst III also said in an interview: "The Houston Chronicle is still the largest newspaper in the area;"

“And, The Houston Chronicle isn’t afraid of competition!”

In Aaron's office, Karen McKee, the new editor-in-chief of The Houston Post, was sitting on the sofa, talking to Aaron about the newspaper.

"The printing factory can be sold and the printing business can be completely outsourced;"

"What The Houston Post needs to do now is increase circulation and reduce operating costs."

Aaron spent $1.2 million to acquire the Houston Post, so he must make a profit!

Karen McKee, a master's degree holder from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, was specially invited by Aaron to manage the Houston Post.

"I understand. The Houston Post is now backed by the Dawn Group and has no worries."

“Although the circulation of our biggest competitor, the Houston Chronicle, is not low right now, I am confident that the Houston Post can surpass it!”

Karen McKee was confident, and her confidence wasn't groundless. Firstly, Dawn was part of Hollywood, and it was the most rapidly developing film company. This gave it a significant advantage in the entertainment news sector.

Not only that, Aaron also owns the Houston Rockets Club, and the Houston Post also reported on his sports activities.

Aaron nodded, "That's good. Dawn's other resources will also cooperate with you!"

After Karen McKee left, Dawn Steele came into the office again and said, "Aaron, I received a disaster movie script adapted by Michael Crichton, and I think it's very good;"

"Moreover, with today's special effects technology, we can also realize the scenes in the play."

"A disaster movie? What's it about?"

"It's about a tornado, and the name of the script is 'Tornado'!"

Aaron was also stunned, then he took the script and started reading it. It was indeed a large-scale disaster film about a tornado.

"The story is pretty good. Dawn can develop it. It doesn't matter if the investment is a little bigger!"

It turned out to be "Tornado", which is definitely good news. The second round of the NBA playoffs just ended, and the Houston Rockets defeated the Phoenix Suns with a score of 4:3 to advance to the Western Conference Finals.
