Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 284: Pay Soars
As late July arrived, the World Cup also ended with Brazil's victory;
The much-talked-about O.J. Simpson murder case also held a hearing, and the attention remains high!

The hot releases of "The Lion King" and "Forrest Gump" continue to reap box office revenue. The former's North American box office has exceeded $2 million, and the latter has also exceeded the $1 million mark.

Dawn headquarters in Burbank, Los Angeles.

Aaron sat in his office. "Phantom Productions wants to adapt Jane Austen's novel Sense and Sensibility?"

Phantom is an independent production company founded by the great director Sidney Pollack!
Esther Beckett nodded. "The director they chose is Chinese director Ang Lee, the leading actress is Oscar-winning actress Emma Thompson, and the actor is Hugh Grant."

In the past two years, Ang Lee has made a name for himself in the independent film circle with works such as "The Wedding Banquet" and "Eat Drink Man Woman".

"It's worth investing in. Jane Austen's novels are always exciting, and director Ang Lee's delicate approach is in line with the emotional expression of this type of work!"

As for director Sidney Pollack, it seems that he is going to remake Paramount's old film "Sabrina".

"How many theaters are scheduled to open 'Rumble in the Bronx' next month?"

“More than 1500!”

"Well, there's a certain market for Chinese-language kung fu films in North America, especially in the videotape sector. There should be enough profit there."

Aaron said, leaning back in his chair, “Orion and Samuel Gwen’s film library can also provide us with cash flow now;”

“The importance of the home entertainment market will become even more apparent in the future!”

The current home market is mainly based on videotapes and laser discs, but China has already launched VCD players and VCD discs;

Next, Hollywood and international appliance manufacturers will definitely delve into this area, and Aaron's early layout of DVD will benefit them.

Subsequently, Dawn's second comedy, The Mask, starring Jim Carrey, opened in 2360 theaters in North America;
Some time ago, with the success of "Ace Ventura", Jim Carrey is now quite famous.

"The Mask" grossed $2300 million in its first three days of the weekend. For a film that cost only $2300 million to produce, it was definitely a success!

As a fine comedy, Jim Carrey's performance in "The Mask" once again conquered millions of viewers. His exaggerated movements, ever-changing facial expressions, and superb body techniques made the audience laugh throughout the entire film.

When filming Ace Ventura, Jim Carrey's salary was $35. When filming The Mask, because Ace Ventura had not yet been released, his salary was only $45.
However, now after the popularity of "Ace Ventura", Jim Carrey's salary for "Ace Ventura 2" signed by Su Guang has skyrocketed to 700 million US dollars!
In addition to Jim Carrey's continued outstanding performance, the sexy actress Cameron Diaz in the play is also eye-catching;
With blonde hair, blue eyes and a sexy body, she is so charming in the movie that you can’t stop looking at her!
Night at the Chamberlain Hotel in West Hollywood.

Aaron and Cameron Diaz clinked their champagne glasses. "How's it going? Does it feel different now that The Mask is out?"

Cameron Diaz was originally just a sexy model, but her debut film "The Mask" was a huge success!
"Yeah," Cameron Diaz's face was full of excitement. She looked at Aaron and licked her lips. "I have to thank you for giving me the opportunity to star in The Mask."

"Otherwise, there are so many newcomers in Hollywood every day, when will it be my turn?"

Aaron smiled slightly. "The main thing is that you have very good conditions. You are beautiful and your figure is sexy and attractive enough. " "In "The Mask", your performance is also completely in line with the requirements of the role!"

As for acting, people like Cameron Diaz are meant to be eye candy;

It is her job to show the charm of sexy American blonde women.

"Well, wait a minute, let's go to the bar for a drink!"

Cameron Diaz suggested.

Aaron put his arm around the girl's waist and said, "I'll come find you later!"

As he said that, he hugged the girl and gave her a long, wet kiss.

Afterwards, Aaron ran into action star Arnold Schwarzenegger in the hotel banquet hall. The other party was starring in the action blockbuster "True Lies" directed by James Cameron, which was released in the middle of the month.

It opened with $2580 million and grossed $10 million in North America in 6100 days. As an action movie, "True Lies" is quite exciting!
“Arnold, you and James have added quite a bit of comedy to this True Lies;”

“This new attempt is indeed good.”

Last year, James Cameron and special effects master Stan Winston founded the special effects company Digital Domain;

"True Lies" is the first special effects blockbuster produced by Digital Domain.

In addition to many special effects shots that bring strong visual impact, "True Lies" is also full of lukewarm jokes and funny episodes, which leads to a lot of comedy content in the plot development of the movie!

Arnold Schwarzenegger smiled and said, "I've starred in many comedies before. This time we filmed True Lies together. Because it subverts the traditional image of spies, I also deliberately added comedy elements."

However, in the final analysis, "True Lies" still embodies the American individual heroism that advocates personal charm and ability;

With a production cost of $1.15 million, the most eye-catching thing about "True Lies" is its extremely exciting special effects scenes!

"By the way, I heard that you and director James Cameron are planning to develop Terminator 3?"

"Well, we've discussed it, and James does want to help Carlock shoot Terminator 3, but now Carlock has his own work to shoot, and James is also preparing a new film for th Century Fox!"

Aaron nodded. "True Lies" has just been released, and James Cameron has already started preparing a new film for 20th Century Fox?

Could it be the world-famous "Titanic"?
"James Cameron's new movie? That's definitely something to look forward to." For Aaron, directors like James Cameron who pursue the ultimate special effects always surprise people!
If it is really "Titanic", Dawn can definitely cooperate with 20th Century Fox at that time.
