Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 408 An Impressive Image

In the evening, Aaron drove a Jaguar to Santa Monica Beach, where it was bustling with activity during the university's spring break.
Concerts are everywhere, and young men and women come to enjoy beach parties!

A moment later, Kate Beckinsale came up to Aaron. "What, are you trying to experience spring break?"

“Just came to take a look,” Aaron said, and then took Kate Beckinsale to a nearby bar.

"Scream grossed $1 million in North America and $7000 million overseas."

"This is a record for comedy horror films. Has a sequel been started?"

Aaron asked, sipping his beer.

Kate Beckinsale nodded. "The sequel is already in development. I've signed the contract, and filming will begin soon."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will definitely be released next year. I heard it will be scheduled for the spring season!"

The investment in "Scream" was not high, after all, the cast was mostly newcomers. Although the salaries of the actors in the sequel will increase, the overall cost will not be much higher.
But it did a great job; Scream, with a production cost of $1400 million, grossed $1.7 million worldwide.

Even with increased budgets, the sequel, Scream 2, is still a low-budget production!
Aaron smiled. "Now, you should be receiving other scripts, right?"

"Yes, after Scream was released, I felt I gained some recognition in Hollywood, and I'm receiving quite a few scripts now!"

Kate Beckinsale is young, beautiful, and has a great figure. Now, with the help of "Scream," which grossed over $100 million, she has finally established herself in Hollywood.

Moreover, Kate Beckinsale already owns 30 shares of Dawn Capital, making her a multi-millionaire in Hollywood!
"Furthermore, just a few days ago, I had a cameo role in Gus Van Sant's *Good Will Hunting*."

"Acting alongside Robin Williams and others!"

Gus Van Sant's "Good Will Hunting" has indeed started filming, and Kate Beckinsale is also involved?

Aaron genuinely didn't know, after all, he wouldn't pay close attention to such a low-cost project; he simply bought the script from Castle Rock Entertainment and then had someone develop it.

Gus Van Sant is a slow filmmaker; he was busy with "At All Costs" before starting to prepare for "Good Will Hunting"!
"I know this movie; the script was adapted by Matt Damon, who plays the male lead, and his friend."

"His friend also plays a role in the movie."

Kate Buckingham smiled and kissed Aaron on the cheek. "Yeah, I know, Ben Affleck, the guy and the other guy wrote this really good script!"

Aaron pulled Kate Beckinsale onto his lap and asked, "What do you think of action movies? Can you accept them?"

In Aaron's mind, Kate Beckinsale's most memorable look is her full leather outfit in the Underworld series;
She is cold and sharp, exudes charm, and has a perfect figure.

"Action films? Of course! I used to be a dancer, so filming an action movie would just require some training."

"What, you want me to act in an action movie? Like the one Catherine Zeta-Jones starred in, 'The Mask of Zorro'?"

Aaron shook his head and kissed the woman on the lips. "You know vampires, right? I'm talking about a female vampire." "Beautiful and pale, with a sexy figure, her movements are sharp yet elegant, and she's wearing a tight-fitting bodysuit!"

Kate Beckinsale thought for a moment, "Are you talking about an outfit similar to Batwoman's?"

"Uh, more or less, but there are no blindfolds or masks."

As Aaron spoke, he seemed to remember something: there was a Batgirl character in the fourth Batman & Robin movie that Warner Bros. was preparing for!
In "Batman & Robin," the actress who played Batgirl was the young actress Alicia Silverstone.
Alicia Silverstone is only 20 years old this year, and last year she earned $5600 million at the box office with Paramount's teen comedy "Clueless".

That evening, the two drove back to Aaron's Belair villa!

“Aaron, I’m planning to go back to London next,” Kate Beckinsale said, lying on top of Aaron on the bed in the bedroom.

“Great, I want to go to London too. Richard Curtis’s Mr. Bean movie and Notting Hill are still not done yet.”

As Aaron spoke, he kissed Kate Beckinsale and began to caress the woman's body.

The movie version of "Mr. Bean" has been in pre-production for so long, Richard Curtis should finish it by now;
As for Notting Hill, it doesn't matter if it's delayed, since Mr. Bean has a large audience.

Moreover, after acquiring MCA Global, Sugon only completed the reorganization at the end of last year. The UK is one of Sugon Global International's key areas!

Both logically and emotionally, Aaron should go to England.

"Well, if I'm still in England by then, come find me."

With that, Kate Beckinsale smiled and silenced the man with a kiss, their lips and tongues entwined.
Aaron embraced the woman tightly, responding passionately, and then flipped her over, pinning Kate Beckinsale beneath him...

After Tim Robbins' "Dead Man Walking," starring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn, won the Academy Award for Best Actress;
As word-of-mouth spreads, the film's North American box office has surpassed $3000 million. According to predictions, the final North American box office should reach $4000 million!
The Los Angeles Times: "The film 'Dead Man Walking' reflects major themes in American society, such as race, the social status of the poor and the rich, and even life and death."

The New York Times: "Dead Man Walking is a film that deeply moves people. Unlike most Hollywood movies that emphasize fast pace, suspense, and glamorous stars, it uses a simple approach to delicately depict the process of a criminal's soul finding redemption before death!"

Because it was produced by PolyGram, Crescent Pictures was only responsible for North American distribution.

However, because she won the prestigious Academy Award for Best Actress, PolyGram held a large celebration party for her.

$3000 million in box office revenue in North America is certainly not a high figure for Dawn, but it's a different story for PolyGram.

After all, it was an art film with a low budget, and the $3000 million box office was quite good. PolyGram Films is, after all, just a British film company that has only been established for a few years.

PolyGram's main business has always been music!

After the Oscars, PolyGram began marketing "Dead Man Walking" in Europe.
