Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 60 The current unknown

Today’s three major Hollywood agencies, ICM, CAA, and WMA, all have their own packaging services;

For many film companies, package services can solve many problems and save time, but they also cause headaches for film companies because they use directors and actors as bargaining chips to jointly demand high remuneration from film companies.

The film companies love and hate the package system because they collaborate with big directors and stars to ask for profit sharing from the film companies and indirectly interfere with the filming of the film.

Because the agency has abundant resources, it can quickly provide complete projects to film companies, allowing film companies to maintain their supply of works to theaters!
Especially Michael Ovitz of CAA, who is greedy and domineering, and has mastered the packaging service to perfection.

In the evening, Aaron Anderson and Jennifer Connelly drank tequila and enjoyed the singers' performance on the stage at a beach bar near the Santa Monica Pier.

Watching the black rap performance on the stage, Aaron shook his head. This kind of gangster rap culture on the West Coast is developing rapidly, catching up with New York!

"By the way, Connery, how's the restoration going at Stanford?"

Aaron inquired.

"Almost done. Most of the damaged buildings have been repaired, only a small part remains!"

Aaron nodded, wondering if he should donate some money to Stanford University to pave the way for his descendants.

Never mind, it's too early now.

"Let's go dance, Aaron," Jennifer Connelly seemed a little excited, perhaps because she got the role in "The Rocketeer"!

"Yeah," Aaron stood up and walked to the dance floor with the sexy Jennifer Connelly in his arm.

In the atmosphere of alcohol and hormones, the two soon hugged and kissed passionately, feeling each other's bodies.

"Bang..." Aaron, who was hugging Jennifer Connelly, was bumped by someone. It was also a young man and woman hugging each other.

"I'm sorry, I'm so happy today. Let me buy you a drink!"

Before Aaron lost his temper, he was greeted by a bright smile, which was extremely handsome, and the joy was undisguised.

Aaron was stunned for a moment, then looked carefully, Brad Pitt!
"Okay, let's go over there and have a drink," Aaron put his arm around Jennifer Connelly and left the dance floor with her.

Brad Pitt and his girlfriend Juliette Lewis.

"Ah, it's Jennifer Connelly!"

“Are you filmmaker Aaron Anderson?”

Jennifer Connelly debuted as a child star, and many people know her, especially those in the entertainment industry.

Aaron Anderson looked at Brad Pitt's girlfriend and said, "I know you, you are Juliette Lewis, how do you know me?"

Juliette Lewis herself started out as a child star and was definitely more famous than Brad Pitt is now.

"Last year at CAA, you were a celebrity!"

Juliette Lewis smiled and said, "This is my boyfriend, Brad Pitt, also an actor. He previously starred in the thriller comedy "No Entry to School."

Well, Brad Pitt is now a nobody even though he is 27 years old!
"Hello, Pete, just call me Aaron;"

"As for Connery, you know him too."

Aaron looked at the two of them. Juliette Lewis was only 17 years old, 10 years younger than Pitt.

"Aaron, nice to meet you. I've seen your news recently. The movie 'Phone Booth' is really cool!"

Aaron smiled and looked at Brad Pitt and asked, "You seem very happy. Did you get a good script?" Brad Pitt was very excited today and was looking for someone to share his joy. "Yes, I auditioned for Ridley Scott's film today and got a small supporting role."

"I auditioned several times and beat out quite a few competitors to get this role!"

Aaron heard it and said, “The work directed by Ridley Scott is Thelma and Louise, right?”

"There was news that Ridley Scott was only going to be a producer, and the two leading actresses were Jodie Foster and Michelle Pfeiffer;"

"It's a pity we couldn't find a suitable director. Jodie Foster went to film The Silence of the Lambs, and Michelle Pfeiffer took on other scripts.

"Now the two main characters are Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon, right?"

Brad Pitt nodded. "Thelma and Louise" is a work that Ridley Scott started preparing last year.

"Aaron, are you following this movie too?"

"Yes, the script is pretty good. It has a strong feminist feel and includes Western and road trip elements. Furthermore, Ridley Scott is directing it himself, and this project is very famous in the independent film industry!"

Aaron said, patting Brad Pitt on the shoulder, "You are lucky to be able to act in this film, so cherish the opportunity;"

"Let's go back first. Maybe we'll have a chance to cooperate in the future."

Aaron then left the bar with Jennifer Connelly.

"He's so young, he's already earned over 10 million dollars at the age of 20. That's amazing!"

After Aaron Anderson and the other man left, Brad Pitt looked envious.

"It's really impressive. Last year, he said in front of many people at CAA that the box office of Dick Tracy would not reach half of that of Pretty Woman;"

"At the time, everyone thought he was crazy!"

Juliette Lewis said, shrugging.

"Now, he has proved that he is not a madman but a genius!"

Brad Pitt was puzzled. "Then why did he leave CAA? If he had stayed, his status would surely be extraordinary."

"In CAA, besides the three shareholders, who else can earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year?"

"Yeah," Brad Pitt also laughed.

"Never mind. From now on, I'll just try my best to play the thief in Thelma and Louise!"

Brad Pitt had some tough competition for the role, especially George Clooney, who stayed with him until the final round.
He has a good figure and looks. Although he is only two years older than me, it is a bit incongruous for him to pretend to be a college student with such an old look!
At this moment, in the parking lot near the bar, Aaron was hugging Jennifer Connelly and kissing her passionately in the car.

"Honey, let's go home first!"

Aaron leaned back in his chair, breathing rapidly, Jennifer Connelly's clothes were disheveled, and her plump 34D breasts were extremely tempting.

"Um," Aaron kissed Jennifer Connelly on the lips, "Was 'The Rocketeer' filmed in California?"

Jennifer Connelly nodded, "Most of the filming locations were in California, and quite a few scenes were shot in Los Angeles;"

"If you miss me, you can always come to the set to find me!"
