Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 378 That Useless Person
“Now, more and more money is pouring into Hollywood,” Aaron said with a sigh after chatting with the others.

Philip Anschutz came to Los Angeles, first entering the sports world, and he'll definitely enter the entertainment industry too!
Leaning back on the sofa, Aaron picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip. The 95-96 NBA season had already begun.

Despite having Dennis Rodman, the Houston Rockets lack confidence in their ability to win another championship and achieve a three-peat.

"Hey Aaron, you're here too. Can I buy you a drink?"

Suddenly, a voice came.

Aaron looked up and saw Gwyneth Paltrow.

"sit!"

"Thank you."

Gwyneth Paltrow sat down next to Aaron and smiled, "I don't see your female companion. Are you alone?"

"You came here temporarily? What, you came alone too?"

Since Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt's relationship was revealed, her popularity has increased significantly.

It's worth noting that Brad Pitt is currently the dream lover of countless girls.

"I've taken on a script, an adaptation of Jane Austen's novel of the same name, 'Emma'!"

Gwyneth Paltrow did not hide it either.

“Emma?” Aaron then glanced at the woman beside him. Gwyneth Paltrow herself was blonde, slim-waisted, and stylishly dressed!
"Hmm, Miramax's work. Doesn't Dawn Cinema have a Jane Austen film, 'Sense and Sensibility,' that going to be released?"

"Miramax, so it's Harvey Weinstein?"

Aaron chuckled. "Disney hasn't fired this good-for-nothing yet?"

Miramax is a complete mess right now. No awards, no box office success, and Disney has lost a lot of money in its pursuit of so-called art films.

However, adaptations of Jane Austen's novels generally receive positive reviews.

The series "Pride and Prejudice," a collaboration between AMC and the BBC, has already aired and has received good ratings and high praise in the UK.

"With your standards, of course you wouldn't look down on Miramax!"

Gwyneth Paltrow rolled her eyes, but why don't you say that there are so many actors in Hollywood who don't get any roles?

Miramax is considered one of the better independent film companies; at least they can get projects going.

“Alright, I’m going back now,” Aaron said, standing up.

Next, after dealing with things in Los Angeles, I'll head to New York again to wait for Dawn's IPO!

Gwyneth Paltrow was taken aback. "Oh, so early?"

"Bye-bye," Aaron simply waved and left.

Gwyneth Paltrow stamped her foot. Aaron Anderson, with his current status and wealth, was fatally attractive to women.
Especially with its summer release, Aaron Anderson's ambition to create Hollywood's glory is incredibly appealing to Hollywood actresses!
Because Aaron had agreed to help Philip Anschutz and Edward Roski make connections, he first met with Jerry Bass.

For this poker player and womanizing NBA owner, the Los Angeles Lakers are his most important asset!

Upon hearing that Edward Roski and Philip Anschutz wanted to build a new indoor arena in Los Angeles, Jerry Buss was naturally supportive. "Aaron, are you interested in getting involved?"

Jerry Buss himself certainly doesn't have the money; the new arena is very expensive, and he worries that the other two won't be able to afford it either.

Aaron shook his head. "Not really interested, but judging from what Philip Anschutz said, he also hopes to get the support of the city government."

After all, most stadiums nowadays are built with government investment and then rented to clubs.
People like Aaron who fund their own investments are rare.

“The city government probably won’t be able to contribute much; we’ll have to raise the majority of the funds,” Jerry Buss had always wanted the Lakers to have a new arena, but he couldn’t convince the Los Angeles City Council.

Aaron took a sip of his drink. "Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Philip Anschutz should be able to handle these things, but half a share of the Los Angeles Kings certainly won't be enough for him."

"As a representative of Los Angeles, what he wants most is a stake in the Lakers!"

Jerry Bass nodded; he must have guessed it too. Philip Anschutz must have his own purpose for investing so much.

Becoming a shareholder of the Lakers is what makes it worthwhile for him to go to the trouble of building a new arena in Los Angeles.

"The previous Los Angeles earthquake damaged many places, and now the lobbying for the city council to build a new indoor stadium is very likely to be successful!"

Jerry Buss chuckled, then changed the subject, "Aaron, the Rockets have won two championship rings in a row, so this season, I suppose, will be another one?"

"Ha, who wouldn't want a three-peat?" Aaron leaned back on the sofa. "But the competition is fierce. With the Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan only returned late in the regular season last year; maybe he hasn't adjusted yet."

"But this season is hard to say. Michael Jordan trained extra hard throughout the summer during the offseason!"

Jerry Buss stroked his chin. "It seems the Bulls are after Dennis Rodman."

"The Rockets probably won't make a trade, right?"

Aaron shrugged. "Who knows? After all, everyone knows what kind of person Dennis Rodman is."

"It would be unacceptable if he made a mess of the Rockets' locker room."

However, the Houston Rockets had just won two consecutive championships and were on a roll, and they also had two superstars, Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler, leading the team.

It's estimated that they can keep Dennis Rodman in check for a while!
"It's a pity, the Lakers are just a playoff team now," Jerry Buss sighed.

"Alright, I've delivered the message. You can discuss the rest yourselves!"

"Haha, Aaron, aren't you afraid the Lakers will become the Rockets' biggest rival?"

"Don't worry, I also hope that the NBA will continue to improve. Besides, with me here, the Rockets' future will be bright."

Aaron has already decided that if the Rockets fail to win the championship this year, they will have to start rebuilding.

The future of the Rockets' current group of veterans is truly worrying!
In the afternoon, after returning to Burbank.

Christina Yerry arrived at Aaron's office. "Aaron, the White House called and wants you to come to Washington, D.C."

"It was a message sent by White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta!"

Aaron nodded. "Make the arrangements in Washington, and come with me."
