Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 291 Strong alliance
At night, in the bedroom of a holiday villa in Ibiza.

Aaron leaned in Wang Zhuxian's arms, "By the way, does Jack Cheng plan to continue filming in Hong Kong?"

Wang Zhuxian nodded. "I'm not too sure about the details, but Jack Cheng is currently filming a racing action movie called 'Pili Torch' in Japan."

"The North American success of 'Rumble in the Bronx' has actually led to even greater investment in this 'Human Torch'!"

Aaron kissed the girl on the cheek. "I see. Now that the Japanese yen has appreciated and the exchange rate of the US dollar to the Japanese yen has fallen below 100, it costs more to shoot a movie in Japan."

After all, the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar have a pegged exchange rate system.

"Shuguang, do you want to continue working with Jack Cheng on a movie?" Wang Zhuxian asked.

"Of course, action comedies like Rumble in the Bronx do have some market in North America," and if Aaron doesn't take action, New Line Cinema, which has previously collaborated with Golden Harvest, has always had ideas!

Action comedies like the "Rush Hour" series are not to be missed.

Wang Zhuxian smiled and began to caress Aaron's body. "Well, do you want to come back to Hong Kong with me? Shuguang's work will also be released in Asia."

Aaron thought about it and said, "Indeed, we should go over there and take a look;"

"But not now, wait a while, then I'll go find you over there."

"Is it Christmas time?"

Wang Zhuxian asked, after all, Aaron had always gone to Asia during Christmas or New Year.

"Oh, it won't be that late!"

With that, Aaron laid on top of the girl and blocked her lips with a passionate kiss.

"Yeah, I'll wait for you," Wang Zhuxian responded by hugging the man tightly!
Aaron went to Asia mainly to care about the development of the Akebono Japanese Film Company. However, for this first stop, Aaron chose Hong Kong.

After spending a few days with Wang Zhuxian in Ibiza, Spain, Aaron returned to New York, USA, while Wang Zhuxian flew directly back to Hong Kong.

Because the new labor-management negotiations for the 1994 MLB baseball league were not reached, the season was suspended midway and subsequent games were canceled;

This shocked both the NBA labor and management sides who were in the midst of a new round of negotiations. In order to avoid a shutdown of the NBA next season, the league owners and the players' union reached a simple consensus, and both labor and management sides temporarily compromised!

"Do you mean temporary termination?"

In Dawn's New York office in Lower Manhattan, Aaron stood by the window with a glass of wine.

Jack Wells nodded, "It's all about ensuring the smooth running of the 1994-1995 season!"

Jack Wells is Aaron's representative for the Houston Rockets and often attends various NBA league meetings on Aaron's behalf.

"If we can't reach an agreement on next season, won't the league be shut down just the same?"

Aaron sighed. "But it doesn't matter. The Houston Rockets won their first championship this year anyway." "It would be best if next season could proceed normally!"

It would be very difficult for the Houston Rockets to win the triple crown. Aaron knew that Michael Jordan's first comeback was not far away.

In the afternoon, Aaron and Jack Wells came to the Dawn Building construction site in Times Square!

"New Mayor Rudy Giuliani's Times Square cleanup efforts are really tough."

Aaron saw that the various adult stores and erotic venues on 42nd Street had closed down and were replaced by more upscale businesses;
Moreover, public security has obviously improved, and police patrols are more frequent.

Jack Wells spread his hands. "The newspapers all say that this iron-fisted mayor has a very tough attitude towards crime;"

"We also cannot tolerate the existence of pornographic venues everywhere."

Aaron stretched his arms and looked at the construction site of the Dawn Building in front of him. "When the Dawn Building is completed, it will also be a representative building of Times Square..."

Evening, The Pierre Hotel on New York's Upper East Side.

Aaron and Christiana Yeri attended a business reception, and the other had just finished filming "Scream"!

“Is Jim Carrey still filming New Line’s Dumb and Dumber?”

Christiana Yeri smiled and said, "It has been wrapped up. New Line has also arranged for Dumb and Dumber to meet the audience during Christmas."

This year, Jim Carrey has released two successful works in a row, "Ace Ventura" and "The Mask";
Now, North American audiences are very fond of Jim Carrey and have higher expectations for the comedies he stars in!
"Well, we also need to start preparing for 'Ace Ventura 2' as soon as possible, and it will be released next year."

Aaron said, taking a sip of wine, Jim Carrey's commercial value has been proven!
After a while, Aaron started chatting with Ted Turner, the target of the night, because after meeting with Gerald Levine, chairman and CEO of Time Warner, in Sun Valley, Idaho, Aaron had developed some ambitions for TBS.

"Hey, Aaron, Dawn has been making a lot of moves lately. The AMC cable channel has both original TV series and classic movies." Ted Turner's newly created TCM channel is a competitor of AMC;
Originally, TBS had an advantage in owning MGM's classic film library. Unfortunately, Sugon acquired the Samuel Gwenn Films and Orion's film library this year, suddenly gaining two to three thousand feature films!
"Turner Broadcasting isn't bad either. Didn't they also acquire New Line and Castle Rock?"

Aaron smiled, but both New Line and Castle Rock maintained a relatively large degree of independence!
Ted Turner shook his head. "When it comes to movies, who can compare to you?"

Ted Turner's forte is running a TV station and journalism!
Aaron shrugged, "Now the merger of TV stations and film companies has become a big deal. Although TBS has acquired independent film companies such as New Line and Castle Rock;"

"But it's just a small-scale initiative after all. Doesn't Turner Broadcasting have any plans to take it a step further?"

"Go a step further?" Ted Turner stared at Aaron, and he understood what he meant;
Today, Dawn Films is the seventh largest film group in Hollywood, far surpassing MGM. Its only flaw is that it is too young and does not have much foundation!

"Aaron, do you mean, your Dawn and my Turner Broadcasting?"

If TBS merges with Sugon, it will directly become a giant media group in Hollywood, but its scale will not be comparable to Time Warner, Viacom and Disney!

"What do you think, Mr. Turner?"

Aaron said this, raising his glass and clinking it with the other person's.

Ted Turner took a sip of his wine, and he was indeed tempted. After all, the prospects of Dawn Films were obvious, and it was a hot commodity in Hollywood.
CNN, owned by Turner Broadcasting, is also the TV station with the highest ratings at present. If Turner merges with Sugon, it will definitely be a powerful combination!
