Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 334 It's Not Difficult to Ban You

A suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel at night.

"I'm sorry, Winona, I had a few too many drinks last night and said some bad things. I hope you can forgive me!"

Mel Gibson sincerely apologized to Winona Ryder in front of him.

"Yes, I accept your apology."

Aaron sat on the sofa to the side, watching Nancy Josephson and Jeffrey Berg, who had come with Mel Gibson.
It seems that ICM's level of attention to Mel Gibson is indeed extraordinary.

Shortly after, Nancy Josephson left the hotel with Mel Gibson.

"Aaron, ICM has several packaged projects in the works. If Winona is interested, she can participate!"

Jeffrey Berg said to Aaron with a smile.

Aaron gazed at the Los Angeles cityscape in the distance. "I heard you guys are trying to get $2000 million for Mel Gibson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Eddie Murphy, and others, right?"

ICM is negotiating salaries for Arnold Schwarzenegger's Warner Bros. project "Evaporate" and Mel Gibson's Disney project "Ransom." The two studios are also negotiating salaries for the two actors.

Jeffrey Berg shrugged. "The CAA paved the way for Jim Carrey, and our people are no less capable than Jim Carrey!"

Aaron chuckled. "Sony, always managing to pull off something like this."

"By the way, it seems like there's been a problem with Carlock Cinema, right?"

Jeffrey Berg nodded. "Yes, they have a $5500 million debt coming due, and they can't even afford the interest."

"The Cutthroat Island project went way over budget and became a laughing stock in Hollywood; Mario Casal is now unable to secure funding."

"Carlock will probably file for bankruptcy protection very soon!"

Then, Jeffrey Berger looked at Aaron and asked, "Interested in Carlock?"

Dawn previously acquired the film libraries of Samuel G. Gowin Films and Orion Films. Could it also be interested in Carlock's film library?
RoboCop series, Total Recall, and Basic Instinct are among Carlock's works.

Aaron smiled. "Right now, Carlock's most important asset is none other than Terminator 3."

"Terminator 2: Judgment Day" at least grossed $5 million worldwide, and James Cameron is also interested in making "Terminator 3".

However, Carlock doesn't have the money to film it now, and James Cameron seems to be busy with his own things.

"The filming rights for Terminator 3 are definitely a hot commodity, but Carlock's side is also aware of this."

"Kalock's creditors also understand that getting Terminator 3 won't be so easy!"

Jeffrey Berger understood this, and Aaron Anderson certainly did as well.

"Perhaps, we can only wait until Carlock goes bankrupt and then negotiate with the banks."

Aaron knew that Jeffrey Berger didn't have any good ideas, and if he got involved in Carlock's films now, the other party would definitely ask for a high price.

After chatting for a while, Jeffrey Berg also left the hotel. As for Mel Gibson's matter, it was just a minor incident!

“Aaron, thank you!” Winona Reed walked over and kissed the man on the cheek. Aaron patted the woman on the shoulder. “It’s nothing. You’re still my woman!”

Then, Aaron took Winona Ryder to the window, where the Los Angeles night view came into view.

Has filming for "Love Weaves Dreams" finished?

Aaron asked.

“Filming is finished. It was a low-budget romance film to begin with, so the shooting time wasn’t long,” Winona Ryder replied, leaning against the man’s chest.

"Yes, you've been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress this time, so I'm sure you'll have even more scripts coming your way."

"Try to choose commercial films!"

As Aaron spoke, he lowered his head and kissed Winona on the cheek.

“I understand,” Winona Ryder said, her breathing quickening as she tilted her head back and kissed the man passionately.

“Mmm,” Aaron responded enthusiastically, as he removed the woman’s clothes!
"If Mel Gibson ever bothers you again, be sure to tell me;"

"However, I believe he won't dare to do it again. Knowing that you and I have a close relationship, he shouldn't have the guts to provoke you."

Winona Ryder smiled, panting, "ICM won't let him do anything reckless!"

She clearly saw how ICM executives Jeffrey Berg and Nancy Josephson treated Aaron Anderson.
All of this can be attributed to the dominance of Dawn Films.

Meanwhile, Mel Gibson, who left with Nancy Josephson, was in a very bad mood, complaining incessantly, "So what if she slept with Aaron Anderson? Do I have to apologize to a junior?"

Nancy Josephson sighed, reminding him, "That's Aaron Anderson, the most successful producer in Hollywood these past few years, bar none."

"You've seen the development of Shuguang Group, and it's about to become the parent company of MCA Global."

"By then, Aaron Anderson will be the owner of a large media conglomerate encompassing film, television, music, publishing, chain cinemas, newspapers, theme park resorts, and more."

"His status will also rise accordingly. Coupled with his political and business connections and resources in Washington, D.C., and Wall Street, how difficult do you think it would be to blacklist a Hollywood star?"

Nancy Josephson's father is the founder of ICM and manages Josephson Capital. He knows more about these things than Hollywood actors do!
Mel Gibson fell silent. Although he had a bad temper, he was definitely not stupid.

He is now a top Hollywood star, unattainable for many, but to the behind-the-scenes capital of Hollywood, he is just a nobody.

His value lies primarily in his ability to generate profits for the powerful capitalists behind the scenes, but if he offends these capitalists, he will definitely run into trouble.

Back at Mel Gibson's villa in Malibu Beach, Nancy Josephson couldn't help but remind him, "Your drinking is getting worse and worse. If this continues, something bad is going to happen!"

After Mel Gibson got out of the car, he simply waved his hand and said, "Alright, I know all that, I can control myself."

"Remember, your focus right now is on negotiating with Disney. If a comedic clown can get $2000 million a month, do you think I'm not as good as a clown?"

Since the newspapers reported that Jim Carrey demanded $2000 million from Sony for his film, a host of top Hollywood male stars have collectively broken down and are determined to fight for high salaries!
