Chapter 422 Beautiful Girls in Hollywood

Universal Studios Orlando will undoubtedly become a landmark in Florida, similar to Disney World.

Such a massive industry would certainly not be able to function without government tax incentives and support.

Aaron knew that Jeb Bush would be successful in his next election to become governor of Florida, so he had to start planning ahead.

Universal Orlando doesn't expect to become a state within a state in Florida like Disney, but it certainly needs to have enough subsidies and tax breaks!
In late June, the science fiction comedy film "The Fat Professor," produced by Universal and starring Eddie Murphy, a famous African American comedian, was released.
With a box office of $2500 million in its opening weekend, Universal has finally proven its worth, especially considering that the previous blockbusters were all projects developed by Dawn.

Meanwhile, Warner Bros.' action blockbuster "Escape Plan," starring Schwarzenegger, also grossed $2450 million in its opening weekend.

However, "Escape Plan" stars top action star Arnold Schwarzenegger and had a production cost of $1 million.
"The Fat Professor" was Eddie Murphy's comeback film after several years of stagnation, with a budget of only $5400 million!
Schwarzenegger's action blockbusters certainly have a greater impact than Eddie Murphy's comedies;

However, the reviews for "Evaporation" were only so-so, not as good as "The Fat Professor".

The Hollywood Reporter: "The film 'The Fat Professor' is a fresh concept, full of humor, wit and hilarious jokes. With the clever packaging of makeup and special effects, Eddie Murphy shows his comedic talent, perfectly portraying two completely different images of the same character and the contrasting personalities they give him."

The Houston Post: "Obesity is a major problem in life. In society, obese people may find it difficult to succeed in anything they do, and this film reflects just that."

"But the film 'The Fat Professor' uses a positive approach to explore the meaning and value of life. The film makes the audience laugh because of the fat professor's image and funny behavior, but what the film affirms is the fat professor's qualities and feelings."

Compared to the rave reviews of Eddie Murphy's "The Fat Professor," "Evaporation" was somewhat disappointing.

The Washington Post: "In the movie Evaporation, audiences are not seeing anything original, but rather re-experiencing elements seen in other movies, including Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, and so on."

The Los Angeles Times: "By action movie standards, Evaporation is undoubtedly a success, with screenwriters Tony Puryle and Wallon Green creating one of the most spectacular action sequences of the summer."

The Chicago Tribune reported: "Despite Arnold Schwarzenegger's hard work in Escape, the film didn't reach the pinnacle of his career, offering only a lukewarm viewing experience for action movie fans!"

Entertainment Weekly: "The film pushes the limits of chases, explosions, and gunfights, and integrates computer graphics and high technology into the plot. It's a great audiovisual experience for viewers!"

Moreover, compared to the previously released "The Rock," "Eraser" is somewhat inferior. After all, Michael Bay's "The Rock" was filmed with great patience, the plot gradually improved, and the pacing was quite appropriate.

The film's Sean Connery's demeanor and charisma, combined with Nicolas Cage's unconventionality and drive, create an exceptionally harmonious effect, along with Ed Harris's cool demeanor. All the main characters are quite remarkable!
The plot of "Evaporation" is also quite exciting and intricate, and it is captivating. Coupled with the powerful reputation of Schwarzenegger, currently Hollywood's most commercially successful action star, it has attracted a large number of loyal movie fans.
The commercial value generated by big-name stars is the main reason for the profits of "Evaporation". However, Schwarzenegger, as an action star, frequently appears in thrillers and science fiction action films, and always plays the role of a savior or a personal hero. Although he is highly regarded, he also makes people feel tired!

Perhaps, in today's American society, crime and darkness are so prevalent and powerful that people place their desire for revenge and their hope of saving the world on such heroes. Justice ultimately triumphs over evil, even disregarding the law, but it is a cause for great satisfaction!
At night, in a bar in West Hollywood, Aaron embraces the sexy Nicole Kidman as they sway on the dance floor.

"Mmm," the two kissed passionately in the bar, which reeked of a mixture of hormones.

The war drama "Heroic Struggle," starring Nicole Kidman and Denzel Washington, will be released next month!
"Yes, Aaron, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Dawn is going to dominate Hollywood again this summer;" "Starting in the spring, *Ace Ventura: Pet Detective 2 - African Madness*, *Broken Arrow*, then *The Rock*, *Twister*, *The Fat Professor*, and next up, *Independence Day*;"

"You really aren't afraid of making other film companies jealous?"

Nicole Kidman nestled in Aaron's arms, her eyes half-closed, enjoying the man's tenderness.

Aaron chuckled, leaned close to the girl's ear and kissed her, "What are you jealous of? Are you jealous of my high box office numbers?"

“What do you think?” Nicole Kidman rubbed against the man.

"My friend, Naomi Watts, I heard you recommended her for a role in David Fincher's new film, right? She's working with Michael Douglas and Sean Penn?"

"That's right, it's a PolyGram project!"

Nicole Kidman nodded. "Looks like she's worth nurturing, huh?"

Aaron didn't care. With his current status in Hollywood, promoting someone was too easy for him. "He's alright. His professional skills are good, and more importantly, his attitude is great!"

Nicole Kidman kissed Aaron on the lips. "Do you need me to go on vacation with you?"

Aaron Anderson will definitely be going on vacation during the summer.

"You have two movies coming out soon, and other new films to shoot. Will you have time?"

In addition to "Heroic Spirit" which will be released next month, Nicole Kidman also has another art-house romance film, "Lady's Colors," directed by New Zealand female director Jane Campion, which will be released in the fall.

Nicole Kidman is currently filming two movies a year, and she's very busy during the summer.

"Of course I have time! I'll have it whenever you need it!"

Aaron smiled, knowing her worries. "What are you afraid of? Haven't we spent enough time together already?"

"Sigh, I'm getting older and older, and there are always beautiful girls in Hollywood every year..."
