Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 110 Forced to Leave

Disney headquarters in Burbank.

Jeffrey Katzenberg's office.

"Dawn actually acquired Pixar?"

It’s no wonder he was surprised. Pixar is an animation and special effects company that has been losing money every year. Why would Dawn come to it?
"Aaron Anderson acted quickly, spending almost $4000 million, and Steve Jobs was kind of forced out!"

The assistant beside him explained.

Jeffrey Katzenberg pondered, "Could it be that Dawn wants to develop animated films?"

The assistant definitely didn't know, so he looked at Jeffrey Katzenberg and said, "Pixar has also directly stopped its cooperation with Disney. Perhaps Suguang really plans to develop animated films."

Jeffrey Katzenberg shook his head. "The preparation and production of an animated feature film takes much longer than a live-action film. It's not easy for Pixar to make their first animated feature film..."

The Pierre Hotel, Manhattan, New York.

Aaron is discussing the script for Sleepless in Seattle with producer Gary Foster and director Nora Ephron!

“Tom Hanks?”

When Nora Ephron heard Aaron Anderson's name mentioned, she thought for a moment, "He's definitely a romantic comedy actor!"

Gary Foster reminded: "He did a romance with Meg Ryan last year that didn't get much attention;"

"I also tried playing a villain in a feature film called The Bonfire of the Vanities, but that also failed."

Aaron smiled and said, "With Tom Hanks's looks, can he play a villain? The casting of "The Bonfire of the Vanities" was a huge failure."

“As for romantic comedies, after the release of ‘Pretty Woman’ last year, there have been a lot more romantic comedies like this;”

"But most of the scripts are shoddy and haphazardly pieced together."

"Nora, show the script to Tom Hanks!"

"Oh, okay," Nora Ephron certainly had no objection.

"Gary, now that the script for 'Sleepless in Seattle' is complete, let's officially start preparing!"

Aaron said, standing up, "The funds will be available soon."

Gary Foster nodded.

The distributor of Sleepless in Seattle is TriStar Films, and Aaron still needs to negotiate the distribution share with Mike Medver;
However, we have to wait until "Ghost" is released before we can talk about it!

In the evening, Nicole Kidman came to the hotel after participating in the promotional activities of ABC TV's "Ghost".

"Sony seems to really take Ghost very seriously!"

On the bed in the bedroom, Nicole Kidman lay in the man's arms, her tone very excited.

Aaron smiled, caressed the delicate body in his arms, and let out a breath. "How can I not take it seriously? Isn't Kevin Costner important enough?"

"Besides, didn't the promotional footage for Ghost at the Cannes Film Festival also receive a lot of praise?"

Nicole Kidman propped up her head and asked, "Sleepless in Seattle is about to start filming, right?"

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, the male lead will be Tom Hanks, the male lead in Penny Marshall's 'Back to the Future'!" Aaron said, looking at Nicole. "'Sleepless in Seattle' is a romantic comedy with a lot of humor in it.

"It's different from 'Ghost'. You have to be more careful when you perform."

After all, Ghost is a fantasy romance that falls under the drama category, and the performance styles of the two are different;

Nicole Kidman is still a genuine Hollywood newcomer and has not been stereotyped. According to Nicole Kidman's future style, who would dare to let her act in a comedy?
Nicole Kidman leaned against the man and said, "Well, you just praised my adaptability and great acting skills, and also said that I can endure hardships and act seriously!"

Aaron closed his eyes and hugged the girl, "It was just now. It's late. Let's go to sleep."

In that situation just now, was there anything else on Aaron's mind?
Nicole Kidman smiled and said, "Tomorrow is the weekend and there's nothing to do."

Aaron sighed and rubbed the other person's body. "How can a young man only think about these things? You should have a good rest. You have to bear the consequences of this period of promotional activities!"

"Ghost" will be released in a week, and so many promotional activities require energy.

Nicole Kidman leaned over to Aaron's ear and asked, "Do you want me to get a breast augmentation?"

Aaron was stunned for a moment, "Why do you have such an idea?"

"It's not good for your health, don't think too much about it..."

The next morning, New York City held a victory parade to celebrate the Gulf War. American troops returning from Iraq paraded along Broadway in Manhattan.
Surrounded by dense crowds of American people, flying flowers and ribbons filled the entire street.

"The American victory parade, this scene is really grand!"

Near Times Square, Nicole Kidman and Aaron stood together on a nearby street, looking at Broadway Avenue which was packed with crowds.

Aaron stroked his chin, "It was held in Washington, D.C. the day before yesterday, and today we're in New York;"

"This is the largest military parade since the victory parade of World War II!"

Nicole Kidman's mouth opened into an O shape. "No wonder they say there are two to three million people attending in New York?"

"One by one," Aaron shook his head. Did the victory in the Gulf War make these guys think they could live a good life?
What does it have to do with the people? Will Bush take care of the domestic economy?

No matter how happy these people are now, it will be ridiculous for them to see the military spending caused by the Iraqi war quagmire!

"Let's go. The economy is in a downturn now. Who still has the mood to do this?"

Aaron can't wait to see the crowds marching because of unemployment!
With Boyz n the Hood's North American box office set at $5700 million, Columbia didn't delay too much;

After all, it’s only the final payment of more than 230 million US dollars.

However, Aaron couldn't treat everyone unfairly, so he only kept $50 for himself and distributed the remaining $180 million as bonuses and dividends;
Director John Singleton, producers Quentin Tarantino and Jack Wells, actors Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ice Cube, among others.

The production cost of "Boyz on the Hood" was only $550 million, plus the publicity and promotion costs of $700, the total cost was only $1250 million;
But Shuguang's profits are quite good, including box office revenue from cinemas, video copyrights, and TV broadcast authorizations!

"I guess the final box office payment for 'The Silence of the Lambs' will arrive next month," Aaron said, lying in the hotel bathtub, imagining the future.

"Aaron!" Nicole Kidman came into the bathroom naked...

　Asking for support, asking for collection, asking for recommendation, asking for monthly tickets, asking for anything...
