Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 33 is the intended candidate

"Oh, you want me to recommend this script to Mr. Coppola?"

Aaron met Al Pacino in an office on the set of "The Godfather Part III".

“Yes, this was commissioned a few days ago by Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore, whose film Cinema Paradiso won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes this year;”

"This film, 'Family Journey,' tells the story of family ethics and affection. Although I recommended it to Disney, there's no guarantee that Disney will lend a helping hand with this script!"

After hearing what Aaron Anderson said, Al Pacino smiled and said, "It's just too artistic. Big companies like Disney won't be interested in it, right?"

"Yeah," Aaron nodded.

"Cinema Paradiso, I know that movie, it's about Sicily, it's a good one;"

"Don't worry, I will recommend your script to Mr. Coppola," Al Pacino also understood why Aaron Anderson approached Coppola;

Italian works are indeed easily favored by Coppola, not to mention that Giuseppe Tornatore is also a representative figure of young Italian directors in recent years!

"Thanks. I'll be leaving now," Aaron immediately stood up and left the office. Jennifer Connelly's audition should have finished as well...

Outside the set, Aaron saw Jennifer Connelly's listless face and guessed the result.

Aaron smiled, patted the other person's shoulder and said comfortingly: "It's just an audition, no big deal, go back first!"

Jennifer Connelly got in the car and said, "My audition only lasted half an hour. Winona Ryder went in later and it's been 45 minutes and she hasn't come out yet."

Aaron muttered to himself that with Winona Ryder's current acting skills and popularity, it is indeed very suitable for her to star in "The Godfather 3";

Judging from the situation, she was invited by Mr. Coppola and should be the director's candidate, but Aaron did remember that the actress who played the daughter in "The Godfather 3" was Coppola's biological daughter Sofia Coppola!

I shook my head in my heart. This matter has nothing to do with me. It is an indisputable fact that Italians value family. Only the parties involved know what happened.

On the set of The Godfather Part III, Francis Ford Coppola was very satisfied with Winona Ryder's audition;

If nothing goes wrong, he should play the role of the daughter in the play!

Back in the office, Coppola received a script recommended by Al Pacino.

"Giuseppe Tornatore, he is a good young director in Italy!"

Francis Ford Coppola and Al Pacino are old friends. Since the other party recommended it to me, it must not be a random script.

"Yes, he found an agent from CAA for help. This agent knew me and asked me to show you the script.

"The story is pretty good, I think!"

Al Pacino introduced the film casually while Francis Ford Coppola flipped through the script.

"The CAA agent is the young man next to Jennifer Connelly?"

"Yes, he was the one who persuaded me to act in Pretty Woman. Otherwise, I might have gone to the crew of Dick Tracy."

Al Pacino smiled and said, "This guy has a good eye. He discovered 'Sex, Lies, and Videotape'!"

"I see..." After Francis Coppola roughly glanced at the script, "What a pity, the story focuses on family affection and is very warm;"

"The budget isn't high, less than 100 billion lire. If I weren't directing The Godfather Part III, I could definitely be the producer!"

Paramount requires "The Godfather 3" to be released during the Christmas period next year, and Coppola no longer has the energy for anything else.

If Francis Ford Coppola's name was the only producer of "Family Trip", it would definitely have no shortage of distributors to invest in it.

After all, the film's budget wasn't high. Based on the current exchange rate, 100 billion Italian lire is just over 700 million US dollars! (The current exchange rate of US dollars to Italian lire is around 1:1400.)

"'Family Trip' is very artistic, with few obvious commercial elements. You could suggest he seek support from independent art film producers."

"How about this, I'll introduce him to Heritage Entertainment. They should be interested."

Al Pacino nodded and told Aaron Anderson to find some time to do it.

Neither Al Pacino nor Francis Coppola actually cares much;
The main reason is that the script of "Family Trip" is an Italian art film, and this reason is more important than Aaron Anderson's identity!

The weather in New York in October has turned cooler. Compared to the warmth in Los Angeles, it is much cooler here.

In the suite of the St. Regis Hotel, Aaron sat on the sofa and talked to Al Pacino on the phone. "Thank you, Mr. Pacino, and please convey our gratitude to Director Coppola!"

After hanging up the phone, Aaron pondered the fact that the other party had mentioned Heritage Entertainment, an American art film distributor;

Manages the Landmark Cinemas chain, an art-house cinema chain with nearly 50 locations and over 200 screens across the United States.

"Aaron, what's wrong?"

Jennifer Connelly came out of the bathroom and saw Aaron sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"Hey," Aaron saw Jennifer Connelly wrapped in one of his shirts, her sexy and plump figure faintly visible, she was indeed a sexy stunner!

"For 'The Godfather 3', director Coppola is optimistic about Winona Ryder," Al Pacino had just informed the result on the phone.

As he said that, Aaron pulled Jennifer Connelly over and made her sit in his arms, then he kissed the beauty in his arms!
"Hmm," after a long French kiss, Jennifer Connelly's breathing was disordered, her eyes were blurred, and she hugged Aaron's neck, showing her intimacy.

"Wasn't last night enough? Winona, after all, I chose her!"

"How can a woman like you be enough? When are you going back to school?"

Aaron asked as he felt Jennifer Connelly's attractive 34D breasts in his arms.

"Not so fast. It will take at least a week or two. Stanford University suffered some damage in the earthquake and needs to be cleaned up first!"

"Really? That's perfect. Why don't you stay in the hotel with me for the next few days?"

Jennifer Connelly smiled and said, "I'm going to go home for a few days. I'll come see you then."

"Okay," Aaron had to visit Heritage Entertainment anyway, and he had to help Giuseppe Tornatore with the "Family Trip" project.

"By the way, don't leave tonight. I'll take you back tomorrow." Jennifer Connelly's home is in New York.

Aaron was very satisfied last night, and of course he was reluctant to see Jennifer Connelly leave today!
