Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 292 Tentacles Reaching Asia

Besides Ted Turner himself, several other major shareholders of Turner Broadcasting Company, including Time Warner and Liberty Media, also hold significant stakes.

Even if Aaron Anderson and Ted Turner had the idea of ​​merging Dawn and Turner Broadcasting, it wouldn't be so easy to make it happen.

In particular, Turner Broadcasting is now significantly more valuable than Dawn, but Dawn has more potential because of Aaron Anderson. So who will acquire whom?

In a high-rise suite at the Pierre Hotel, Aaron embraced the sexy Christina Yerry as they stood by the window, admiring the Manhattan night view!
"Pulp Fiction has already premiered in France, and will be released in North America next month, followed by Europe!"

Christina Yerry nestled in the man's arms and kissed him.

Aaron smiled and reached into the woman's silk nightgown to feel its softness. "This movie has received very positive reviews. I'm really looking forward to its release."

Since its stunning debut at the Cannes Film Festival, Pulp Fiction has been highly anticipated, and Aaron is eager to see the huge reaction it will cause after its official release.
Quentin Tarantino's movie is sure to be a huge surprise for audiences!

"Forrest Gump has now grossed over $2.2 million at the North American box office and over $2 million in overseas markets."

"Aaron, Forrest Gump is arguably the hottest movie of the year!"

According to Christina Yeri, no film this year can compare to Forrest Gump.

“That’s for sure,” Aaron said, and kissed the woman, their tongues entwining and caressing the sexy beauty before him.

“Mmm,” Christina Yerry responded enthusiastically, lifting her legs to wrap around the man’s waist!
Feeling the woman's passion, Aaron...
A moment later, Aaron carried Christina Yerry into the room and pounced on the woman...

At the end of August, Aaron finally returned to Hong Kong!

At the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Aaron and Raymond Chow, the head of Golden Harvest, enjoyed afternoon tea together.

"Developing a Hollywood action-comedy starring Jack Cheng?"

Raymond Chow hesitated. Although "Rumble in the Bronx" had given Jack Sing some recognition in Hollywood;

However, if Jack Cheng were to participate in Hollywood productions now, there would be some concern that Hollywood directors would not understand the essence of Jack Cheng's action-comedy style.

Aaron noticed the other man's hesitation, smiled slightly, and asked, "Mr. Zou, are you worried that Hollywood and Jack Cheng might not be a good match?"

After all, Jack Cheng's previous attempts to break into Hollywood were not successful, and he disliked the arrogance of Hollywood directors!

"Aaron, you know, Jack Cheng's style is thrilling and exciting action comedy;"

"Without this, Jack Cheng wouldn't be Jack Cheng!"

Raymond Chow was still worried that Jack Cheng would suffer a setback in Hollywood like he had a few years ago, which would further damage Jack's confidence.

Aaron shook his head. "Don't worry, we've promised to hand over the action scenes to Jack Cheng's team this time."

"The Hollywood directors we hire will also listen carefully to Jack Cheng's opinions and strive to leverage his personal strengths!"

Raymond Chow glanced at Aaron and smiled, "In that case, we'd definitely be willing to push Jack Cheng into Hollywood."

"However, Jack Cheng is currently filming a movie in Southeast Asia. It was originally supposed to be filmed in Japan, but due to the appreciation of the yen, filming in Southeast Asia will save him a lot of money."

"Once Jack Cheng finishes this movie, we can have a proper discussion."

Aaron smiled, raised his glass and clinked it with the other person's, "Then, I wish us a huge box office success!" The North American box office for "Rumble in the Bronx" is now approaching $3000 million, and it will definitely exceed that number by the time it leaves theaters.

Dawn also holds the North American distribution rights to Jack Cheng's "Super Cop" and "Project Eagle".

"Hong Kong's real estate market seems to have gone completely mad!"

That evening, in his villa in Repulse Bay, Xiangjiang Island, Aaron leaned back on the sofa and couldn't help but sigh.

Currently, Aaron's Haihua Fund owns seven luxury villas in Hong Kong, and their value is skyrocketing!

"Yes, everyone's speculating on real estate right now!"

Wang Zhuxian straddled the man's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him. "The properties I own have also appreciated quite a bit."

It's clear that Wang Zhuxian has indeed made some money from her real estate investments over the past two years.

Aaron smiled and reached out to stroke the woman's smooth, white thigh. "The Hong Kong real estate market is indeed a bit too crazy!"

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. Look at these wealthy families in Hong Kong; they all own several major real estate groups.

"By the way, how's the deal with Golden Harvest regarding Jack Cheng's new film going?"

Wang Zhuxian inquired.

"It will be developed. After Jack Cheng's 'Thunderbolt' series is finished, Dawn will specifically prepare a new script for him."

"At that time, we will make full use of Jack Cheng's action and comedic talents!"

Aaron has already had Dawn register the idea for the Rush Hour series with the Writers Guild of America, and they just need to find someone to revise it later.

However, the director for "Rush Hour" has not yet been decided; they need to find a director who has ideas about this type of work first.

"Yes, that's good. Now Taipei has opened up import channels for Western films, and Hollywood blockbusters with more advanced technology and better production are starting to penetrate the entire Asian film market."

"I've also heard that even the mainland is discussing opening the door to importing Hollywood movies!"

Wang Zhuxian wrapped her arms around Aaron's neck. Hong Kong films were truly losing their largest overseas market and source of funding.
Last year can be considered the last glorious year for Hong Kong cinema.

Aaron smiled. "Yes, we've lost Taipei, our largest external market, and our most important source of funding."

"While Hong Kong's powerful film industry can directly compete with Hollywood, it seems to be gradually sinking into a quagmire."

As for the mainland market, Aaron really doesn't care much, even if it opens up import revenue-sharing films this year;

However, with a quota of only ten films per year, coupled with a revenue-sharing model that differs from international box office revenue, it is difficult for Hollywood films to make money in the Chinese market!

As he spoke, Aaron embraced Wang Zhuxian and kissed her passionately!

At the same time, News Corp. of Australia acquired a majority stake in Hong Kong Satellite Television.
It was a satellite channel founded by Hutchison Whampoa three years ago. After News Corporation had established a presence in Australia, North America, and Europe, it finally extended its reach to the Asian region.

　Sigh, I quit my job today. I'm going to work in a small town; it's really not going to work here...
