Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 76 Hollywood Girl

Jennifer Connelly, who was filming "The Rocketeer", went to the Toronto Film Festival in Canada to promote the Italian film "Family Trip";
At the same time, director Giuseppe Tornatore also helped Aaron obtain the remake rights of "Scent of a Woman" for $30.

Aaron and Jennifer Connelly enjoyed afternoon tea at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood. "Director Giuseppe Tornatore, has he returned home yet?"

"Yes, 'Family Trip' will be officially released in the United States next month!"

Jennifer Connelly said this while flipping through the Entertainment Weekly in her hand.

"It's amazing that Carlock paid $300 million to buy the screenwriter Joe Eszterhas's play 'Basic Instinct';"

"The highest price ever paid for a Hollywood screenplay!"

Aaron was flipping through a copy of the Financial Times when he heard the other person's voice and looked up. "Carlock, is the co-director Paul Verhoeven?"

Jennifer Connelly nodded. "That's him! He worked with Carlock on the summer movie 'Total Recall,' which grossed $2.6 million worldwide!"

Joe Eszterhas, whom Aaron knew, left CAA this year and has an independent agent managing his business.

"300?"

Aaron smiled and shook his head. Only Carlock would offer this price.

Aaron knew that the story of "Basic Instinct" involved thriller, suspense, crime and eroticism!
"The United States is going to war again," Aaron put down the Financial Times in his hand, which was about the rise in international crude oil prices caused by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.

At the beginning of last month, Iraq sent troops to Kuwait, causing the price of crude oil, which had been at $15 a barrel, to rise;
At the end of last month, the price rose from $15 per barrel to $25 per barrel. Now it is mid-September and it has risen to $9 per barrel!
"You've been on the crew and haven't paid much attention to the news. The United States has united with many countries and decided to send troops," Jennifer Connelly explained.

Aaron pressed his forehead and of course he knew it. It was the first Gulf War!

Now, Aaron is thinking about playing with oil futures. He has the impression that this oil crisis should have caused the price to break through $40 per barrel?

"The world is in such chaos right now. The Soviet Union is also in shambles. With Germany unified, the United States will have no rivals in the future."

Aaron said, standing up.

"Honey, go back to your room and rest. I'm going out for a while!"

Aaron wants to find a securities company to try out oil futures. He is too poor now and has no money to do anything.

Soon, Aaron drove the Luster to the investment department of First Intercontinental Bank in the financial district!

The person in charge of reception gave Aaron a detailed introduction to the trading principles of oil futures, as it is a margin system with high leverage.

"There's even 100 times more!" Aaron didn't know much about these.

The staff member smiled and said, "Some companies can provide up to 500 times leverage."

Aaron raised his eyelids. Wouldn’t it be that even a slight fluctuation would result in a huge change in funds?

Aaron chose 20x leverage to go long. Although there are 5x and 10x leverage options, Aaron can't be too timid.

With a 20x leverage and an investment of 200 million US dollars, 4000 million was leveraged, and the remaining 70 was used as a reserve fund in case of needing to cover the position!

"When the price rises from $30 a barrel to $40, I must stop!" Aaron warned himself in his heart when he left. He must not be greedy. He must not be greedy in a business that he is not familiar with.

In the evening, Aaron returned to the Sunset Marquis Hotel in West Hollywood and ran into Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen who entered the hotel with several young girls!
As the best of the new generation of American male stars, 25-year-old Charlie Sheen is extremely famous, and he is not comparable to Nicolas Cage and Johnny Depp.

Charlie Sheen, the son of veteran actor Martin Sheen, is also a second-generation Hollywood star. His starring roles in "Platoon" and "Wall Street" have made him a well-deserved top-notch actor in Hollywood.

"Bringing so many girls into the room?" Aaron also understood what was going on, but this kind of thing with Charlie Sheen was very common!
At this time, a young woman seemed to see Aaron, and took the initiative to come over to say hello and handed over a business card, "Mr. Anderson, right? I'm Heidi Fleiss from the Hollywood Girls Club."

"Hollywood girl!" Aaron knew what it was as soon as he heard it.

A call girl club. Aaron looked at Heidi Fleiss and asked, "Are those the girls you just saw?"

Heidi Frears nodded. "Mr. Anderson, do you need anything? We are very confidential and will never disclose any customer information!"

Aaron smiled and said, "It seems that you have quite a few clients in Hollywood. You actually know me?"

"Mr. Anderson was an agent before, and we were in frequent contact with CAA agents. Mr. Anderson later did a lot of big things;"

"We're always keeping an eye on what's going on in Hollywood!"

Aaron casually put away the business card and asked casually, "Are Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman among your clients?"

Heidi Fleiss just smiled and said, "These are all confidential. We are not allowed to disclose any information about our customers."

Aaron was disdainful, "Is this service ethics?"

"Mr. Anderson, you should know that there are many things that cannot be said."

Heidi Fleiss started out as a call girl, but she found she could make more money as a broker, so she became a pimp.
His subordinates are all young girls who specialize in providing sexual services to Hollywood stars, corporate executives, and senior government officials!
Aaron knew that he wouldn't get anything out of asking this question, so he just left. It seemed that Jack Wells was more suitable for this kind of thing.
After all, Jack Wells knew some private investigators.

Heidi Fleiss didn't feel anything when she saw Aaron Anderson leave. There were many people who wanted to get the celebrity's privacy from her;
But she didn't dare to do anything. No matter which party it was, she couldn't afford to offend them. As long as she made a mistake, she would have no place in this industry.

On the other side, Aaron looked at the business card in his hand and called Jack Wells to ask about the Hollywood Girls Club!
"Oh, you're talking about Heidi Fleiss. She's the fastest-rising female agent in the past couple of years, and she's developed a lot of Hollywood clients."

"We have quite a few at CAA. I've even sent girls to Ronald Mayer before. What? Do you need one too? I heard the girls Heidi Fleiss has are all very high quality!"

Aaron scoffed, "I ran into her at the hotel with Charlie Sheen delivering a girl. I got one of her business cards and wanted to ask if she had any news on Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman!"

"Then she definitely won't tell you. There's a confidentiality agreement."

Jack Wells on the phone thought for a moment before speaking again, "However, we can consider this aspect. Warren Beatty was completely humiliated last time, and there are quite a few reporters around him. It will probably be difficult for him to get news;"

"How about I ask some professionals to help me track it?"

"Sure, get two trustworthy private investigators to follow Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman and see if they can find any explosive information!"

To Aaron, this expense was nothing.
