Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 56 One per year

At the hotel entrance, Aaron ran into Julia Roberts and her boyfriend Kiefer Sutherland facing interviews from reporters!
"Last year, there was Meg Ryan, and this year there was Julia Roberts, both of whom became famous overnight."

Aaron smiled and put his arm around Nicole Kidman, "Next year, it will be you!"

Nicole Kidman shook her head. "It should be difficult. I'm not American. Even if a hit movie comes out, it won't have the same influence as them."

"Besides, I won't be called a Hollywood sweetheart, right?"

"Go back," it seems that Nicole Kidman is still clear-headed.

After the crew of "Ghost" was assembled, financial personnel from Credit Suisse First Boston also came in to oversee the use of the $1200 million.
Edward Zwick also invited producers he had worked with before to join, and the rehearsals for "Ghost" were arranged in the studio of Sony Studios in Culver City.

Screenwriters Bruce Robin and David Fincher were hired by Aaron as producers to assist him!

"David, are there no film companies or producers looking for you to direct a movie right now?"

Aaron was chatting with David Fincher in his office.

Because as far as I know, 3th Century Fox's "Alien " has already started production;

I have the impression that the director is David Fincher?
David Fincher shook his head. "There's no specific script. Besides, I want to wait until you finish filming Ghost before I think about it carefully."

Aaron smiled, stood up and patted the other man on the shoulder. "Phone Booth was a success. Your future is limitless!"

As mid-May arrived, the box office of Phone Booth stopped at $3400 million, and Dawn received a final payment of more than $60 from th Century Fox.
However, because David Fincher and Nicolas Cage's salaries were not high, but their performances in the film were wonderful, Aaron gave them each a profit bonus of $40 as compensation.

Sony Studios, sound stage, rehearsal location for the "Ghost" crew.

"Kathy Bates, who plays the psychic, is such a great actress!"

Aaron and director Edward Zwick stood by and watched the rehearsal.

The role of the psychic in "Ghost" is an important supporting role, although the impression is that this role is played by a black actor;
But now, there is no important role that needs to activate the unspoken rules of black people!

Edward Zwick smiled and said, "I have been developing stage plays for the past 20 years and won the Tony Award for Best Actress.

"Now I'm in the film industry and I just starred in 'Days of Danger' directed by Rob Reiner!"

"That Stephen King novel?"

"Yes, when she came for the audition, I recognized her at first sight," Edward Zwick was indeed very satisfied.

Rob Reiner is one of the founders of Castle Rock Entertainment and directed "When Halle Met Sally..."
But this guy is also a huge fan of Stephen King's books, and Castle Rock is a location in his books.

With the opening of the 1990 Cannes Film Festival, Nicole Kidman, after two weeks of rehearsal, was about to go to Cannes with the crew of "Wild at Heart" to promote the film.

At night, in West Hollywood, Aaron was lying on his bed in his apartment bedroom.

Nicole Kidman put her arm around Aaron Anderson and asked, "Are you really not going to Cannes?"

"I'm too lazy to go. I'm not an agent and I don't have any works to exhibit. I don't need to buy films for distribution!"

Aaron exhaled and rolled off Nicole Kidman.

Now, promotional posters for Disney's comic book adaptation "Dick Tracy," featuring exaggerated thug images, are everywhere in major cities across the United States;
Warren Beatty was a guy that Aaron had offended so much. Aaron was also worried that this guy would do something bad to him secretly?
Besides the $2000 million budget for Ghost, Dawn Pictures now has $500 million in cash to spend. "Well, not only was Wild at Heart nominated for the Palme d'Or, but Giuseppe Tornatore's The Family Trip was also nominated!"

Nicole Kidman reminds.

"I know that. If Giuseppe Tornatore needs me in the future, I'm willing to cooperate with him..."

The summer season has always been the most important time for Hollywood, and the competition is fierce.

This summer, three sequels were released: "48 Hours," "Die Hard 2," and "Back to the Future 3." Even the newspapers are saying that there are too many sequels these days?

It would be great if in the future, there could be three non-remakes or sequels released in the summer blockbuster season. The risks of original movies are much higher than those of sequels and remakes!

Inside the Viper House rock bar on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.

Jack Wells and Aaron Anderson clinked their beers. "I've inquired, and Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman are both busy promoting the movie 'Dick Tracy' right now. They probably don't have time to target us."

"The production budget of this movie is $4700 million, including the publicity and promotion costs, the cost is much more than that of "Pretty Woman";"

"If the box office isn't good, coupled with Warren Beatty's recent awful scandal, he could retire from acting again!"

Aaron nodded. "By the way, what happened to that Ari Emanuel?"

Jack Wells smiled and leaned closer, saying, "Those three black men were a bit heavy-handed. They stabbed me twice during the robbery. I think my kidneys are damaged."

"Now, Ari Emanuel has left Los Angeles and returned to his hometown in Chicago!"

Aaron's expression changed several times, and it was unclear whether he felt sorry for Ari Emanuel or was worried about the security in Los Angeles?

"By the way, I'm one of Kevin Costner's official agents now, so I don't have to work as a driver anymore!"

Aaron looked at Jack Wells and said, "You can just hang around for now. Just help me keep an eye out for some news."

"How can you be an agent? You're going to be the boss!"

"I know, security company? This suits me. My family knows some people with good fighting skills and marksmanship. I'm just waiting for your order."

"Don't worry, it will be quick," Aaron patted the other person's shoulder, "I'm going to the bathroom!"

Dim lights, chaotic music, air filled with marijuana, men and women hugging each other, Aaron has long been accustomed to this scene.

After washing his face in the bathroom, lighting a cigarette, he left.

As soon as they arrived at the corridor, a man who was a little unsteady on his feet fell on Aaron in a trance;

Aaron reflexively reached out to help, but smelled a strong odor of marijuana. He must be high!

Just as he was about to push him away in disgust, someone suddenly came over and called out, "Aaron, this is Rui Fan, he's a little drunk!"

"Depp," Aaron saw the person coming, it was Johnny Depp.
