Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 396 The Church's Great Power

Aaron had no idea what Michael Douglas was thinking, actually inviting Stallone and Schwarzenegger to star in "Face/Off".
However, Aaron already had a complete plan and was naturally not interested in collaborating with Michael Douglas.

Michael Douglas is quite famous; his film "Confidential" with Demi Moore, released two years ago, grossed over $2 million worldwide!
"Aaron, what are you thinking about?"

In the bedroom of the villa on the hillside in West Hollywood, Winona Ryder sat on Aaron's lap and asked in a somewhat excited voice.

“Hmm, it’s nothing,” Aaron smiled and reached out to caress the woman’s soft breasts.

"Do you want to continue?"

"Of course!"

With that, Aaron got up, hugged Winona Ryder, and kissed her.

Some time later, lying on the bed, Aaron let out a long sigh and couldn't help but stroke Winona Ryder's hair, enjoying the woman's touch...

The following afternoon, Aaron made a special trip to attend a fundraising dinner hosted by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles!
Jack Wells introduced Aaron to Archbishop Roger Mahoney of the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles.

With the Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles's cathedral, St. Vibiana Cathedral, closed, are there any plans for a new church?

Aaron asked.

Roger Mahoney nodded. "We'd like to purchase a plot of land near the overpass in the city center to build a new church."

"At that time, Rome will bestow a name upon it!"

Jack Wells, who was standing nearby, asked, "What about the old St. Vibiana Cathedral?"

"It seems to have been going on for quite some time. How does the church plan to handle this?"

Roger Mahoney shrugged. "After discussion, the church plans to donate it to the city government, hoping someone can renovate it and turn it into a regular church!"

Aaron smiled. "Bishop Mahoney, how about turning it into a small church museum?"

"Many of the items inside have historical significance; even if you donate them to the city government, they'll probably just sit idle."

"The city government certainly doesn't want to spend millions of dollars on renovations."

Roger Mahoney's eyes lit up. "This is an excellent suggestion! If it's feasible, our church will definitely support it!"

Aaron cursed inwardly. So, they were looking for him because of this old church?

“Alright, I will fund the renovation of this St. Vibiana Cathedral and convert it into a church museum.”

Aaron shrugged.

Roger Mahoney made the sign of the cross on his chest. "Aaron, the Lord will protect you!"

That evening, Aaron and Jack Wells returned to the Angel Theatre.

"Hey Aaron, I feel like we've gotten a bad deal, haven't we?"

"Building a new church, we'd be lucky to make a few hundred thousand dollars. The church isn't short of money."

"But renovating St. Vibiana Cathedral will cost several million dollars!"

Jack Wells sipped his whiskey and muttered complaints.

Aaron leaned back in his chair, his feet propped up on the table, puffing on a slim cigar, and chuckled. "It's no big deal, I don't need that little bit of money."

“Once this museum is built, the Los Angeles General Church will owe me a favor.”

"By the way, how did you come to know Archbishop Roger Mahoney?" Jack Wells pursed his lips. "My father used to handle some things for the church."

"You know, churches and children's welfare homes are very dirty places!"

Aaron nodded. Jack Wells' family worked as private investigators and bounty hunters.
Dealing with some of the dirty business in the church is not surprising at all.

The United States, a country known for its religious diversity, exhibits significant differences in the distribution of religious beliefs among its population and the religious representation within its political institutions.

However, Christianity is certainly the mainstream in political institutions, especially Catholics, who make up the largest proportion of the parliament!

"Alright, the church holds a lot of land assets. Next, I plan to cooperate with them to develop real estate."

It's no exaggeration to say that the church is wealthy, especially given its extensive real estate holdings.

The owner of the Great Western Forum arena in Inglewood, Los Angeles, is the Los Angeles church!
Jack Wells nodded. A few million dollars was nothing to Aaron, and it was definitely the right thing to do to maintain good relations with the Los Angeles Archdiocese.

"By the way, are you going to watch the NBA All-Star Game next month at the Dawn Center in Houston?"

The decision to hold this year's NBA All-Star Game in Houston was made two years ago;
After all, the Houston Dawn Center is currently the most luxurious and technologically advanced arena in the entire NBA league.

San Antonio, also from Texas, competed with Houston, but unfortunately, they couldn't beat them!
"I don't know, we'll see." The Rockets are currently plagued by injuries, their performance has declined significantly, and their hopes of winning the championship are slim.

"How's Rodman?"

Speaking of Dennis Rodman, Jack Wells gets a headache. "That guy, he's such a troublemaker!"

"Houston's nightclubs have practically become his home."

"Fortunately, the Rockets have Hakeem Olajuwon who can control the situation, otherwise, the locker room would probably explode."

This season, the Chicago Bulls in the East have a good record, but they certainly don't have the terrifying 72-10 record of their previous life.

The combination of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen is not to be underestimated!

"Next, I'm going to Japan. The Universal Studios Japan project in Osaka is about to start construction."

"I'm going to attend the groundbreaking ceremony."

Universal Studios Japan in Osaka is the first Universal Studios that Dawn is expanding overseas, so it is definitely going to be taken seriously.
We cannot let Tokyo Disneyland have all the glory.

Jack Wells smiled. "The Houston Rockets are indeed a small business for you, and the competition and difficulties you'll face after Dawn goes public will be much greater."

"I heard that MGM has been trying to take back the MGM film library from Time Warner. Does Dawn have any ideas?"

Aaron waved his hand. "Forget it. The Seagram Group isn't short of money. Edgar Bronfman Jr. failed in his bid for MCA Group."

"He won't be happy if I try to take MGM's film library from him again!"

Jack Wells stretched and said, "Want to come to Palm Springs with me? Lots of hot girls there."

"Go ahead, I'm planning to acquire some plantations and ranches in the next few days."

Aaron's plan to give Wang Zhuxian a vineyard is almost complete;

In addition, Aaron himself is also planning to buy ranches in Colorado and Montana.

With the Golden Globe Awards over, the annual Super Bowl is about to begin.

The 1995 Super Bowl will be held at the end of this month in Tampa, Florida!
