Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 73 Be Careful in Auditions

"OK, I declare the last show of Ghost over!"

"After two and a half damn months, we can celebrate tonight. Aaron has already booked a venue at the Culver Hotel..."

After director Edward Zwick announced that the filming of "Ghost" had been completed, the crew suddenly became lively.

"Oh, then I must have a good drink."

"I want to sleep for three days and three nights..."

Nicole Kidman also relaxed and drove back to Aaron Anderson's residence in West Hollywood.

At this moment, Aaron Anderson had just bought a new car from a car dealer, a Lexus LS400 sedan.

The sales of Japanese cars in the United States are really not low. Lexus, the luxury car brand launched by Toyota two years ago, sold 16 units in a year!

Having just purchased the Blues Brothers Theatre and given Jack Wills $30 for renovations, Aaron didn't have much left of the $130 million in his personal account.

"Hey, Jack, don't forget the party at the Culver's Hotel tonight!"

Aaron called Jack Wells to inform him.

"I remember. By the way, do you have any ideas for the name of the theater? I think we should change it!"

"Then you can just change to any other one."

Why would Aaron care about these little things?
In the evening, at the Culver Hotel, "Ghost" held a wrap-up party, which allowed the crew members to relax.

Aaron discussed the post-production of the film with Edward Zwick and David Fincher, “editing, special effects, and soundtracks, all to be as perfect as possible;”

"Sony Columbia plans to release 'Ghost' in the summer, so there's still time!"

Aaron had just finished speaking when his assistant, a blonde woman wearing glasses named Esther Beckett, came over and seemed to have something to say.

"Well, enjoy yourself tonight," Arthur said, patting both of them on the shoulders.

"Eslin, what's wrong?" Eslin Beckett was a former production assistant at Orion and was hired by Aaron as an assistant in his company.

"The old movie we talked about last time was an Italian comedy from the 1970s called Scent of a Woman, which was nominated for the Academy Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Foreign Language Film.

"The travel story of a retired blind lieutenant and his assistant!"

Aaron came back to his senses and smiled, "That's even better. We can just buy the remake rights. Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore and I are friends. We can definitely ask him to help us buy it."

Aaron had thought of the film Scent of a Woman after meeting Al Pacino previously;
But I just remember that "Scent of a Woman" was a remake of a foreign film. I don't know the details, but I still remember some of the plot;
Now that Iselin Beckett has been found, it must be Scent of a Woman.

Esther Beckett nodded. "Also, there's news from Orion. Their financial situation is getting increasingly dire, and 'The Silence of the Lambs' isn't scheduled to be released this year!"

Aaron also knew that Orion was not planning to release "The Silence of the Lambs" this year. Wasn't it because he didn't have the money to get involved?

"Okay, let's buy back the remake rights for 'Scent of a Woman' first!"

If "Ghost" is not released, Aaron really won't have enough funds to do big things.

While Aaron was celebrating the completion of filming for Ghost, Hollywood loser Warren Beatty was being interviewed by Entertainment Weekly.

Entertainment Weekly, which was just launched this year by Time Magazine Group, was founded based on People, but it mainly focuses on the lives of Hollywood stars!
When a reporter asked him to compare Pretty Woman with Dick Tracy, Warren Beatty responded dismissively, "It was just a young man who had just entered Hollywood and was blessed by God."

"He just managed to get a few successful films by chance. He won't be able to survive in Hollywood by relying on this kind of clever tricks..."

The reporter laughed, "Mr. Warren Beatty, but the young man you are talking about has won praise from Walt Disney Film Chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg and superstar Al Pacino;"

"Moreover, the Dawn Pictures he founded is currently developing his second and third films!"

Warren Beatty had a calm expression, "So what? Will God always favor him?" In fact, the reporter was not very interested in Aaron Anderson's affairs. After all, he was just a producer, not a star, and he didn't have enough explosive points.

"By the way, are you and Ms. Madonna Ciccone still dating?"

"Madonna's ex-husband Sean Penn once said you were just a Hollywood pimp from the old days. What do you think?"

"Also, is it true that you had wild sex with Madonna? Are you still in contact with French actress Isabelle Adjani?"

As the questions became more and more difficult, Warren Beatty's expression became increasingly grim...

Morning, West Hollywood, Aaron's apartment.

The bed in the bedroom was extremely messy. Aaron Anderson and Nicole Kidman, who had been crazy for most of the night, both woke up!
Nicole Kidman, with her sexy and slender body and fair skin dotted with several kiss marks that had not yet faded, kissed Aaron as she lay on him. "Aren't you going to get up, honey?"

Feeling the alluring body in his arms, Aaron caressed the girl's body and said, "I've been busy for so long, can't I just enjoy myself!"

Nicole Kidman smiled but said nothing, just lying on the man and stroking Aaron's smooth abdominal muscles.

At noon, Nicole Kidman handed Aaron a newspaper and said with a smile, "It seems that Warren Beatty said you are a speculator, a lucky young man!"

Aaron took it and looked at it casually, his face expressionless. "What a childish fool, can't you see the situation clearly now?"

"With this guy's current scandal, who would want to use him as the leading actor unless there's a significant exchange of interests?"

After putting down the newspaper, Aaron leaned back on the sofa and patted the girl. Nicole Kidman sat in the man's arms. "Boyz on the Hood will be finished in about two to three weeks. I have to keep an eye on it. There are many new members in the crew.

"So the filming progress is a bit slow. You can take a good rest recently. Wild at Heart is an art film and there won't be many promotional activities."

"I know, but Wild at Heart is coming out in a few days, and I still have to attend some promotional activities!"

Nicole Kidman kissed Aaron on the cheek again and said, "However, my agent said that Disney has a gangster biopic in the works, and they need a sexy and beautiful female character in it;"

"I will be arranged to audition."

"Disney's gangster biopic?" Aaron smiled casually. "Hasn't the failure of 'Dick Tracy' taught them a lesson?"

Nicole Kidman leaned over to Aaron's ear and said, "It seems to be "Billy Bathgate", which is based on the novel of the same name by writer E.L. Doctorow;"

"It stars Dustin Hoffman."

The novel "Billy Bathgate" won the "National Book Critics Circle Award" and the "Faulkner Award" in the United States this year, and was selected by Time magazine as one of the world's ten best works of the 1980s!

Aaron Anderson, who had never been interested in gangster films, frowned because of Dustin Hoffman.

"Dustin Hoffman seems to have joined Steven Spielberg and TriStar's fantasy adventure film Hook!"

Glancing at Nicole Kidman in his arms, Aaron reminded: “Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty have a good relationship;”

"Don't be fooled by his honest and cowardly appearance. This guy is not a good person. It is common for him to harass actresses on the set. "

"When you go to the audition, be sure to pay attention. If you have any questions, call me directly."

Nicole Kidman certainly understood what Aaron meant and nodded, "Don't worry, I know what to do. Ghost has just finished filming."

"I have great confidence in you. We have to wait until next year for Ghost to be released!"

Aaron pinched the girl and asked, "What if Ghost doesn't do well? What are you going to do?"

"Well, don't you have me? You will definitely continue to give me opportunities..."
