Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 390 Two Faces
After Aaron took Cate Blanchett back to their suite at the InterContinental Sydney, the two embraced and kissed passionately!

From the living room to the bedroom, the two kissed and took off their clothes.

"Honey, you have a great figure!"

"You really know how to please women!"

Aaron smiled, looking at Cate Blanchell beneath him. "If you're interested, go to Hollywood."

"You can start by gaining experience and honing your acting skills in art films. You know, I control the entire Dawn Group."

Cate Blanchett ruffled Aaron's blond hair a few times. "Yeah, Dawn owns Universal, one of the seven major Hollywood film studios!"

"Which Hollywood actress could resist your advances?"

With that, Cate Blanchett wrapped her arms around Aaron's neck and gave him a kiss. "Let me think about it for a few days. Anyway, you're here. Right now, we have more important things to do!"

"you're right."

Soon, Cate Blanchett's screams echoed from the bedroom...

Although Aaron Anderson and Cate Blanchett hadn't known each other for long, Cate Blanchett's uninhibited behavior at night made Aaron linger!

As the new year drew to a close, while Aaron was enjoying his holiday in Australia, the acquisition of Marvel by Dawn continued in the United States.

Dawn offered Ronald Perelman a $3.8 million bid to acquire Marvel Inc., and to assume $2 million of Marvel's debt!
Ronald Perelman, who was heavily in debt, had already laid off 300 employees of Marvel Entertainment, which had a total of only 1700 employees.
Ronald Perelman was genuinely tempted by Dawn's offer.

But this was met with strong opposition from Marvel Entertainment CEO Avi Arad!

Avi Arad founded Marvel Studios with the intention of developing his own films, but he was hampered by limited resources.

Now, Ronald Perelman wants to sell Marvel, which is unacceptable to Avi Arad.

At the surprising board meeting, Avi Arad and Ronald Perelman got into an argument, and Avi hoped to persuade the other board members:

"The United States is one of the most creative countries in the world, and we should feel honored to live here."

"Hollywood has always been the world's cinematic mecca, but looking around Hollywood today, you'll find very few superhero characters that have been made into movies and survived."

"Although Hollywood has produced the Star Wars series, the Star Trek series, and the Superman and Batman series, that's about it."

"But I've always firmly believed that Spider-Man is worth $10 billion; he's Marvel Comics' trump card IP, yet Dawn hasn't developed it."

"But at this crucial moment, Dawn is going to buy out the entire Marvel comic book franchise, which has so many characters."

"Dawn hasn't even developed Spider-Man yet, will they develop other characters?"

Avi Arad's meaning was clear: if Dawn was interested in the Marvels, all of the Marvels' characters were open to them.

However, Marvel Studios is going to get involved in the production of superhero movies!
In response to Avi Arad's attack, an enraged Ronald Perelman exercised his power as a major shareholder and fired Avi Arad...

After the New Year, on Manley Beach in Sydney, Aaron carried Cate Blanchett, who was wearing a sexy bikini, out of the sea!
“Honey, I’m going home,” Aaron said, putting his arm around Cate Blanchett as they returned to their nearby beach vacation lodge.

Dawn's acquisition of Marvel Entertainment did not encounter much resistance; as long as the price satisfied Ronald Perelman, that was enough.

After all, the current state of Amazing Entertainment doesn't hold much appeal for others.

Even film companies don't think making Marvel movies is a good choice; Warner Bros.' "Batman Forever" released last year was mediocre, and although they are going to continue developing the fourth "Batman & Robin," the actor playing Batman will be replaced again!
"Oh, are you going back to China?"

Cate Blanchett didn't seem to have much of an emotional reaction, having already figured it out during the few days she'd been dating Aaron.

Aaron definitely won't stay long; his career focus will likely be in the United States.

“It’s time to go back,” Aaron kissed the girl’s ear. “These past few days have been unforgettable!”

These past few days, the two have been inseparable, spending their days sightseeing at various tourist attractions and their evenings enjoying time together at the hotel.

"Just wait, I'll call you after I get back to the US;"

"I'll arrange a few roles for you then."

Cate Blanchett smiled, leaned close to Aaron's ear and blew a breath, then stroked Aaron's arm. "Is it because all my efforts these past few days have paid off?"

"What do you think? You've been so excited these past few days!"

"He's a completely different person during the day and at night!"

By day, Cate Blanchett exudes elegance and haughtiness, while by night she embodies wildness and passion.

"So, do you prefer me during the day or at night?"

“Of course I like them both,” Aaron said, leaning on the woman’s back. “After all, men like their women to have two sides.”

Cate Blanchett nodded. "I had a great time these past few days. When I go to Hollywood, I just hope you'll remember me!"

"Will do……"

With the arrival of 1996, Dawn's first acquisition was Amazing Entertainment!
Although most Hollywood figures were skeptical of Dawn's acquisition of Marvel, Aaron knew that the $3.8 million was truly worthwhile.

After acquiring Marvel, Aaron set about taking Marvel off the stock market, spinning off Marvel Entertainment, and selling off businesses such as credit cards and stickers!
Burbank, Dawn Headquarters.

What about Toy Biz?

Brad Gray asked.

Marvel Entertainment owns a 46% stake in Toy Biz, which in turn owns the license for Marvel character toys!

Aaron thought for a moment, "Let's keep it for now. If Ike Piermut can't improve the business, then we'll consider selling it."

Toy Biz is just a small American toy company, and Ike Piermut is the president of Toy Biz;

Aaron didn't really care, since Dawn was currently partnering with Mattel and Toys "R" Us!
Brad Gray nodded. "By the way, 20th Century Fox wants to make an X-Men movie."

"They hope to buy the production rights to the X-Men series."

Aaron shook his head. "Impossible. From now on, all Marvel Comics adaptations will be handled by Marvel Studios."

"External companies can co-produce it, but the distribution rights will definitely belong to Dawn Global!"
