Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 347 Dessert
For Aaron, Edgar Bronfman Jr. is hardly a rival; Hollywood loves rich kids like him!

Later, Aaron met Martin Campbell, the director of "GoldenEye".

"This new 007 movie is very well made!"

Although "GoldenEye" will be officially released next month, MGM has already screened it multiple times, and Aaron has certainly seen it.

Aaron is increasingly optimistic about this New Zealand director. "GoldenEye" is a thrilling action film with a fast-paced plot and a humorous style, making it a rare and excellent action-adventure movie.

In response to Aaron's praise, Martin Campbell simply smiled and said, "Bruce Pierce's brilliant performance is even more hard to overlook!"

Shortly after, Elizabeth Hurley, a "Bond girl," also appeared at the party.

"Seven has received very good reviews. With Dawn and Universal Pictures joining forces, it seems they've dominated this year's summer movie season!"

Elizabeth Hurley and Aaron shared a warm hug; she had come back specifically to promote the film "GoldenEye".

Aaron pulled Elizabeth Hurley upstairs to the restroom and chuckled, "Does Hugh Grant have such unusual tastes?"

As he spoke, he felt the woman's sexy, curvaceous figure.

“Hmm,” Elizabeth Hurley kissed the man first, “who knows, I got asked about this by the Los Angeles Times when I got back.”

After all, Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley are both big stars now. Even though they've broken up, how could the reporters let go of his ex-girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley after what happened to Hugh Grant?

"What a pity, he had such a sexy and beautiful girlfriend like you before, how could he not cherish you?"

Elizabeth Hurley nestled against the man's chest. "You left early last night, you won't do that tonight, will you?"

“No, not tonight.” Last time it was Winona Ryder and Mel Gibson who had a conflict, but not tonight.

Elizabeth Hurley smiled, leaned close to Aaron's ear and blew a breath, "Well, darling, I'd like some dessert now!"

Aaron narrowed his eyes. "Of course..."

Following the acquisition of MGM by the Seagram Group, Edgar Bronfman Jr. invited Ronald Mayer, president of CAA, to take over management;
Michael Ovitz's departure directly led to a major split within the CAA leadership.

However, Michael Ovitz soon accepted Disney's invitation to become its president.

Disney will officially announce this appointment in August!

On the other hand, with the Houston Rockets eliminating the Spurs 4-2 in the Western Conference Finals, they will face the Eastern Conference champion Orlando Magic in the NBA Finals;
In the Finals, facing a young Magic team led by Shaquille O'Neal and Anfernee Hardaway, the Rockets swept them 4-0 without much effort, winning the 95-96 championship.

Jack Wells booked out a nightclub in Houston, where champagne was poured and the atmosphere was lively as he celebrated the Rockets' successful title defense.

"Aaron, do you think it's possible for the Rockets to win three consecutive championships?"

Jack Wells looked excited and pulled Aaron aside to dream about the future.

Aaron's face was flushed, clearly he'd had quite a bit to drink, but his mind was still relatively clear. He glanced at the celebrating players on the court and said, "It's tough. Clyde and Hakeem are getting old." "The Rockets finished sixth in the playoffs this time, and their wins against the Jazz and Suns were incredibly hard-fought."

"This kind of thing is very difficult to imitate!"

Jack Wells sighed. "The Chicago Bulls' three-peat is too tempting, and Michael Jordan is back. Although the Bulls were eliminated by the Magic in the playoffs this year, who knows what will happen next year?"

Michael Jordan is a legend, and no one can underestimate him.

Aaron shrugged. "Let's get the collective bargaining agreement sorted out first. Last year's negotiations with the players' union didn't yield any results; they were postponed to prevent a lockout."

"Now that the season is over, if the two sides can't reach an agreement, the season will definitely be suspended!"

After winning the championship in Houston, Aaron flew from Houston to Universal Studios Orlando.

In its early days, MCA purchased 540 acres of land in Orlando to build a theme park resort as a direct competitor to Disney World.
Since the opening of Universal Studios, but with limited land use, another theme park, Islands of Adventure, which MCA has been planning for several years, is also ready to start construction!

"Tom, Dawn Studios is preparing for its IPO, which is expected to happen by the end of the year. The expansion of Universal Studios Orlando is now imperative."

"The UK-based Rank Films should repurchase the 50% stake in Universal Studios Orlando as soon as possible."

In the office, Aaron was chatting with Tom Williams, president of Universal Studios Resorts.

Tom Williams nodded. "Understood. The upcoming investment is substantial, and Rank doesn't have extra funds to participate, so the shareholding will definitely be diluted."

“We will buy back the shares, and they will sell them.”

As he spoke, Tom Williams reminded everyone of the previous plan to build a Universal Studios theme park resort in Osaka to compete with Tokyo Disneyland;

"The Osaka municipal government and Japanese investment companies are very interested!"

Aaron rubbed his forehead. "Does the Japanese mean they want us to authorize them, while they take charge of the operations themselves?"

"Yes, just like Tokyo Disneyland, the ownership and operation rights belong to Japan, and we earn licensing fees and consulting fees!"

Tokyo Disneyland is the first film-themed park outside of the United States, and Disney adopted a brand licensing model.
The construction costs and property ownership were also funded and owned by Japanese companies, while Disney earned its revenue from product licensing.

Aaron thought for a moment, "No, the operating rights of Universal Studios Japan in Osaka must be handed over to us, and Universal must hold a majority stake."

"Don't worry about funding, Wall Street will support us!"

Aaron's idea for Universal Studios Japan was to operate it according to the model of European Disneyland, because the Japanese market was simply too big;

Just look at the revenue of Tokyo Disneyland and you'll understand.

As he spoke, Aaron walked to the window and looked down at Universal Studios Orlando. Currently, it only has one theme park, which is indeed too small in scale.

MCA had been preparing to build an Adventure Island theme park since the year before last. The plan was already complete. Now that Dawn has acquired MCA, the project will of course continue!
