Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 89 It’s Time to Help

Jennifer Connelly's house in the Los Feliz neighborhood.

While Jennifer Connelly was taking a shower, Aaron took a book from the bookshelf, "Jurassic Park", and started reading;
The science fiction novel published by writer Michael Crichton this year won the first place on various novel bestseller lists such as the New York Times as soon as it was published!
"It's a very good novel. It touches on a lot of scientism, including genetic engineering, genetics, and cloning technology."

At this time, Jennifer Connelly came over wearing a silk suspender pajamas, and her sexy and hot body was extremely tempting!
"Well," Jennifer Connelly sat directly in the man's arms, hugged his neck and kissed him passionately.

After the kiss, Aaron put down the book and said, "This novel is being adapted. Universal is collaborating with Steven Spielberg."

Before the novel "Jurassic Park" was published last year, Michael Crichton sent the first draft to the six major Hollywood film studios;

Six major film companies bid for the adaptation rights, which were ultimately won by Universal Pictures and Spielberg. At the same time, Universal also offered the highest profit-sharing agreement to date for the author and director!

"Do we want to make it into a movie? It's not easy," Jennifer Connelly leaned in Aaron's arms. The special effects of dinosaurs are not easy to produce.

"Not so fast, Spielberg is filming 'Hook' right now."

Because CAA fully supported Spielberg in filming "Hook", Michael Ovitz finally got what he wanted and got Spielberg's director agency business;
Now, the famous Spielberg has also become a client of CAA!
Aaron leaned on the sofa, holding Jennifer Connelly in his arms, thinking that while Spielberg was filming "Jurassic Park", it seemed that another movie would also be filmed, "Schindler's List".

Aaron had previously worked at CAA and knew that the adaptation rights to Schindler's List belonged to director Martin Scorsese, who wanted to make the film but was unable to secure support.
After all, there is the precedent of Martin Scorsese's disastrous work "The Last Temptation of Christ".

No one would think that there would be a market for a work about the Holocaust.

However, as a Jew, Spielberg was also very interested in "Schindler's List" and obtained the adaptation rights from Martin Scorsese!

"Schindler's List, when CAA convinces Universal to support Spielberg in making this film, it should be able to finance it."

Aaron thought to himself that Dawn Pictures could be the "sucker" because no one was optimistic about Schindler's List.

However, even if Spielberg's works are not well received, Universal will still support them!

Aaron really couldn't ignore such a work that pleases the Jews, not to mention that the box office and reputation of this movie were both huge hits.

"Let's go get some rest, dear!"

Jennifer Connelly in Aaron's arms suddenly leaned over and blew into his ear.

Aaron smiled, feeling the girl's 34D breasts, "When you were on the set, did that Billy Campbell want to pursue you?"

"Yeah, he wanted to ask me out for dinner, to the movies, etc., but I refused them all;"

"Besides, I just met you at the bar. I believe he won't bother me anymore!"

Aaron thought about it, "So, will he embarrass you on the set? Isn't 'The Rocketeer' overdue?"

Jennifer Connelly shook her head. "That's definitely not the case. The scenes that are overdue are mainly action scenes. I'm just doing some literary scenes."

"Um……"

Dawn Films, screening room.

After the revised version of "Boyz on the Hood" finished playing, Aaron looked at John Singleton beside him.

"This should be okay, right? Compared to the previous violent scenes, there's less violence. Can we get an R-rated screening permit?"

Aaron also found it a bit baffling, as the MPAA has always been relatively lenient with regard to violence;

When it comes to erotica, we are quite strict about it.

John Singleton spread his hands and said, "Well, I'm not sure either. This is the third time I've submitted it!"

It was obvious that John Singleton really didn't want to continue cutting out the scenes. "Okay, I'll go to Sony and ask Mr. Sidney Ganis about it."

Columbia is also the distributor, so shouldn't they do something about it?

"That would be great. They can put some pressure on the MPAA!"

"Boyz n the Hood" is John Singleton's first feature film, so he naturally attaches great importance to it and hopes that it can be released in theaters normally.

As the Christmas season entered December, various movies were released in large numbers, but the best performing one was of course 20th Century Fox's "Home Alone";

In mid-December, the North American box office of "Home Alone" exceeded 1 million US dollars!
At the same time, another fantasy romance film released by 20th Century Fox, Edward Scissorhands, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder, was also released nationwide;

It was released in 1023 theaters and grossed $650 million in the first three days of its opening weekend, but it received good reviews and received high praise from most film critics and media.

Empire Magazine: "Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands represents a touching fairy tale and one of the most whimsical films ever made!"

The Washington Post: "'Edward Scissorhands' features stunning photography, production design, and costume design, and offers a refreshing change of pace!"

In the evening, Aaron was driving back to West Hollywood from Culver City and was passing by the Fountain Theater on Fountain Boulevard.

A girl was seen sobbing near a large poster of "Edward Scissorhands."

Aaron glanced at it carefully and said, "Isn't that the heroine Winona Ryder on the poster?"

Although he felt confused, Aaron still stopped the car to check the situation. Could it be that something bad had happened?
"Um, Winona, is that you?"

Aaron asked as he approached.

"Ah," Winona Ryder, who was squatting on the side, raised her head, her eyes were red, and she was indeed crying.

"Aaron, it's you!"

Winona Ryder was just about to stand up, but perhaps because she had been squatting for too long, she couldn't stand steadily, so Aaron went over to help her.

He took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to the other person to wipe his tears.

"So, can you tell me what happened to you? You're crying here alone!"

Now, thanks to the success of Edward Scissorhands, Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder can be said to be the golden boy and girl of Hollywood.

Winona Ryder shook her head and looked at Aaron Anderson, "Thank you, Aaron, it's nothing;"

"I just can't help it..."

"Can't help it?" Aaron scratched his head.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. What about Depp? Aren't you guys together?"

The newspapers are full of news about the two of them being very close and showing their love sweetly.
There's no reason it should just be Winona Ryder?

"It's at the bar over there," Winona Ryder pointed. "Aaron, want to go over and have a drink?"

Aaron nodded and said, "Let me take you to see Depp first!"

I heard that Winona Ryder suffers from depression, but I don’t know if it’s an onset?
