Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 300 PolyGram Doesn't Have This Courage

At night, a BMW Z1 drove along Pacific Highway 1 in Malibu and eventually stopped at Little Tumei Beach.

“Hmm,” the man and woman in the car were passionately kissing each other. They were Aaron Anderson and Cameron Diaz, who had just finished attending the celebration party for “The Mask”!
"How was my performance in 'The Mask'? Not bad, right?"

The sexy Cameron Diaz straddled Aaron, her clothes disheveled, her arms around his neck, her snow-white breasts exposed.

Aaron held the woman in his arms, caressing her body. "I told you, she's absolutely stunning. Now that this movie is out, your fame is skyrocketing!"

“I have a luxurious estate in nearby Cape Dumei. We can go there directly there in a bit.”

Cameron Diaz nodded, then wriggled a few times against the man, took off her shirt, and gave him a kiss. "I recently got a new script, and I'll be starting to film my second movie soon."

It's clear that Cameron Diaz has caught the eye of Hollywood filmmakers because of her stunning appearance in "The Mask"!

“Well, that’s great. Now you’ve officially debuted in Hollywood,” Aaron said, reaching out to caress the woman’s soft breasts…

At the same time, the first series produced by Dawn Television, "ER Season 1", also premiered on AMC.

However, compared to the first season of "ER" airing on AMC, Aaron is more concerned about the first season of "Friends," which is also produced by Dawn Television and will be broadcast on NBC at the end of the month!
Burbank, Dawn Headquarters.

Aaron sat in his office, listening to Ethelyn Beckett's report: "Rumble in the Bronx grossed $3200 million in North America, a great success."

"Jack Cheng has already established a certain level of fame in Hollywood, which guarantees the development of 'Rush Hour'!"

“$3200 million, that’s certainly a good price,” Aaron leaned back in his chair. “Before, I think we bought two older films by Jack Sparrow: Operation Eagle and Super Cop.”

"Let's try to schedule a screening next year."

Suddenly, Aaron remembered something, "I heard that Universal's 'Waterworld' is facing serious budget overruns."

"Did Kevin Costner, who took over as director, personally invest $2200 million to complete the film?"

Etherine Beckett nodded. "That's true. The production cost of *Waterworld* reached a staggering $1.75 million."

"Carlock's 'Cutthroat Island' also suffered from budget overruns, with continuous additional investment, bringing the production cost to $9500 million."

"Suddenly, both of our water-themed films have run into trouble and are now practically a laughing stock in Hollywood!"

Aaron tapped the table. "How much did James Cameron's 'True Lies' gross at the box office, released by 20th Century Fox?"

"In North America, it grossed $1.4 million, second only to Disney's animated feature film *The Lion King* and our *Forrest Gump*."

"Overseas markets have also exceeded $2 million!"

However, the production cost of "True Lies" was $1.15 million, far exceeding the $6000 million of "Forrest Gump" and the $4500 million of "The Lion King".
Currently, The Lion King has grossed over $2.8 million in North America and over $4 million overseas. Forrest Gump has grossed $2.6 million in North America and over $3 million overseas.
Has 20th Century Fox revealed anything about James Cameron's new film?

Aaron has been keeping an eye on the movie "Titanic".

Etherine Beckett shook her head. "I heard James Cameron went diving in the Atlantic." Aaron smiled. "I see!"

After leaving Dawn, Aaron picked up Catherine Zeta-Jones, who had flown in from London, at Los Angeles International Airport.

Afterwards, he took Catherine Zeta-Jones to Palm Springs, Los Angeles for a vacation.

Palm Springs, located in the Coachella Valley of the Colorado Desert, is a famous resort destination, an oasis city in the desert, known for its mineral springs, ski resorts, golf courses, and more!
Inside the hot spring pool, Catherine Zeta-Jones nestled in Aaron's arms, "Darling, how did you come up with the idea of ​​celebrating my birthday?"

Aaron kissed the woman on the lips. "Isn't it normal to celebrate your woman's birthday?"

Aaron rubbed her body and whispered in Catherine Zeta-Jones' ear, "Don't you want some alone time with me?"

“Mmm,” Catherine Zeta-Jones immediately silenced Aaron with a kiss.

Aaron also hugged the woman tightly, responding enthusiastically to her initiative!
After the kiss ended, Catherine Zeta-Jones leaned against the man with seductive eyes and asked, "I saw in the newspaper that Kevin Costner's movie 'Waterworld' cost $1.75 million, which is seriously over budget. Is that true?"

Last year, the two collaborated on the blockbuster film "The Mask of Zorro," which made Catherine Zeta-Jones an overnight sensation and further solidified Kevin Costner's superstar status!
Aaron nodded. "It's true. Everyone is pessimistic about this movie right now. After all, the production cost of $1.75 million is too high."

Catherine Zeta-Jones gasped, somewhat unable to believe it was true.

Looking at Aaron, he said, "Now, the newspapers are saying you're going to acquire MCA Universal, and it seems PolyGram has the same idea."

“PolyGram,” Aaron smiled, “does Philips, PolyGram’s parent company, have that kind of guts?”

PolyGram was originally jointly owned by Philips of the Netherlands and Siemens of Germany. Later, Siemens withdrew from PolyGram and sold its shares to Philips.

PolyGram's main business is music production and record distribution. In film, it is only a novice, dabbling in independent films, and its frequent collaborations are mainly with the Coen brothers and Tim Robbins.

"Yes, the 'Dead Man Walking' film that PolyGram is currently shooting, directed by Tim Robbins and starring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn, is a collaboration with New Moon Pictures, a subsidiary of Dawn Pictures."

"It will be very difficult for PolyGram to acquire MCA!"

Aaron thought that it was still possible for PolyGram to acquire MCA's music business.

Catherine Zeta-Jones affectionately put her arm around Aaron's neck, "If you acquire MCA Group, wouldn't you become the owner of Universal Pictures?"

"This is one of the world's largest film and entertainment groups!"

How can one not be amazed and shocked by Aaron Anderson's remarkable achievements at such a young age?

Aaron smoothed his hair and said casually, "It's just an entertainment group!"

My goals are not limited to these.
