Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 306 Underestimating the Dawn
"By the way, any news from Edgar Bronfman Jr., or perhaps he's going to Japan in person or something?"

In the dimly lit bar, Aaron sat on the sofa, watching the performance on stage while asking Jack Wells a question.

"No, Edgar Bronfman Jr. mainly spends time with Michael Ovitz and Herbert Allen."

"In fact, based on speculation, there are quite a few members of the Bronfman family in Seagram who oppose the acquisition!"

Aaron nodded. "Alright, it seems we still have to rely on strength..."

This year, Dawn's films, including "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective", "My Best Friend's Wedding", "Interview with the Vampire", "Forrest Gump", "The Mask" and "Pulp Fiction", have been successful.
The momentum is growing ever stronger, especially with "Forrest Gump" and "Pulp Fiction," which are arguably the most discussed works!
In particular, the news that Dawn was going to acquire the MCA Group, after being exaggerated by the media, made it seem like the Americans were trying to take back a company that had been acquired by the Japanese.

Putting aside other aspects, the support from the public alone is absolutely unwavering.

Manhattan, Upper East Side, Pierre Hotel.

At a party hosted by Time Warner, Aaron, accompanied by Monica Bellucci, happened to run into Edgar Bronfman Jr., the CEO of Seagram Corporation!

"Aaron, this should be our first formal meeting, right?"

Edgar Bronfman Jr. smiled and politely shook hands with Aaron.

Aaron smiled. "Yes, it is indeed our first formal meeting. After all, I started out working in Hollywood, while Seagram is a liquor company."

Edgar Bronfman Jr. shrugged. "I'm actually part of the entertainment industry; after all, I've been a film producer, written songs, and formed a band."

"However, my previous career was just some small-scale operations, which are completely incomparable to the Dawn you built!"

Aaron took a sip of his drink. "Hey, you can't say that. Seagram almost acquired Time Warner before."

If it weren't for the subsequent death of Steve Ross, the former chairman of Time Warner, it's possible that Seagram would have become the major shareholder of Time Warner.

"Hollywood is booming, and the global market has unlimited potential. I'm really optimistic about it!"

Edgar Bronfman Jr. then patted Aaron on the shoulder, saying, "Siglen is determined to acquire MCA Universal."

"Now that your Dawn Group is thriving, why add more burdens?"

“Is that so?” Aaron stared at Edgar Bronfman Jr., a smirk playing on his lips. “Looks like we’re going to have to repeat what happened last year when Viacom and QVC were bidding for Paramount!”

Edgar Bronfman Jr. shrugged. "You know, acquiring MCA wasn't difficult for Scotland."

“Siglen has a lot of cash and can directly guard MCA without any financing.”

Aaron nodded, then patted the other man on the shoulder with a meaningful expression. "Hollywood has its own code of conduct."

"Besides, you're seriously underestimating the Dawn Group!"

With that, Aaron left. Who gave Edgar Bronfman Jr. such confidence?

Michael Ovitz, or Yoichi Morishita?

Subsequently, Aaron encountered Peter Cooper, the former co-CEO who had left Sony Pictures Entertainment.

After chatting for a while, Aaron returned to Monica Bellucci's side. "Recently, the newspapers said that Sony Pictures Entertainment suffered a loss of $27 billion, the largest loss ever recorded by a film company."

"It seems that Japanese companies have paid a lot of tuition fees for acquiring your American companies!"

Monica Bellucci, arm in arm with the man, smiled broadly. Her 36D figure made Aaron's heart flutter.

Aaron said casually, "Heh, those two guys, Jon Peters and Peter Cooper, have been really messing with Sony."

Back then, when Sony poached these two guys from Warner Bros., they paid half the equity of Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank!

As he spoke, Aaron kissed the woman on the lips. Monica Bellucci had just finished filming the horror thriller "The Hole" in Toronto.
Moreover, at the end of the month, her starring role in the horror film "Garage" produced by Dawn Twilight Pictures will also be released. After "Philadelphia," Monica Bellucci finally has a leading role in a Hollywood film.

After a passionate kiss, Monica Bellucci, still somewhat lingering, embraced the man. "Aaron," she said, "the holiday villa on Lake Como in Italy is finished."

"Do you want to go see her? I can spend some time with you."

Previously, when Monica Bellucci returned to Italy, Aaron specifically asked her to find a holiday villa on Lake Como.

"Don't worry, there will be a chance," Aaron smiled, putting his arm around the woman's waist. "Let's go back!"

"Ah."

“Hey, that’s Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone.”

As the two were leaving the hotel, they happened to see the two people being interviewed.

Aaron glanced at it casually. "Warner Bros.' action film 'The Specialist,' just premiered last week."

Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone are the male and female leads of the movie!

However, "The Specialist" opened in 2522 theaters and only grossed $1400 million in its opening weekend, with poor reviews.

Without a doubt, this is yet another failing film by Stallone.

As for Sharon Stone, after "Basic Instinct" made her a star, her erotic film "Spy" released last year grossed over $100 million worldwide.
However, her explicit and erotic scenes with Sylvester Stallone in "The Specialist" have generated considerable publicity!
However, The Specialist did not receive good reviews, and the love scenes between the two were even named by Empire magazine as one of the "Top Ten Sex Failures in Hollywood Movies".

At the same time, the magazine also gave Sharon Stone the title of "Queen of Erotic Film Waste".

In the back seat of the car, Monica Bellucci leaned against the man's chest. "Aaron, don't you like Sharon Stone?"

Because she noticed that Aaron clearly had a dislike for Sharon Stone when he saw her!

"do not like."

"Ah, why?"

“No reason,” Aaron shook his head, then reached out and squeezed the woman’s chest. “You know, there’s an Italian drama called ‘The Postman’ that’s pretty good at this year’s Venice Film Festival, right?”

“Yes, I know. It seems that Crescent Moon Pictures bought the North American distribution rights,” Monica Bellucci said, immediately giving him a kiss.
“Mmm,” Aaron responded enthusiastically, embracing the sexy Monica Bellucci.
