Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 430 A New Movie Every Month
In mid-August, the 26th Summer Olympic Games came to a successful conclusion, and Aaron returned to Los Angeles, USA!

This Atlanta Olympics marks the first time in Olympic history that all 197 recognized National Olympic Committees have sent delegations to participate.

Meanwhile, this Olympic Games sold over 861 million tickets, setting a new record for the highest number of spectators ever, and generated a commercial value of US$120 billion, making it the most profitable Games ever.

In a West Hollywood nightclub, Aaron embraced Catherine Zeta-Jones, sipping champagne and enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

"Universal has a new movie out, haven't you been paying attention?"

Aaron nodded. "Yes, there is a fantasy film called 'Dragonheart,' I know it."

"These days, the Dawn series releases new films every month. Why would I pay attention to every single one of them?"

With film studios such as Dawn Pictures, Universal Pictures, New Moon Pictures, and Twilight Pictures, plus other independent film production companies they collaborate with, Dawn now releases quite a few films.

Catherine Zeta-Jones kissed Aaron on the cheek and laughed, "I met Kate Beckinsale a while ago; the popularity of *Scream* has made her famous."

"Scream 2 is about to start filming, and she's really looking forward to it!"

Released last year, "Scream" not only grossed over $160 million worldwide, but was also named "the most popular horror film of all time" by E! Entertainment, America's largest television entertainment channel!

With "Scream" winning this year's MTV Movie of the Year award, and given its considerable commercial success and positive reviews, the production of a sequel is naturally inevitable.

Director Wes Craven hopes the sequel will maintain or even surpass the quality of the original. Twilight Pictures specifically recalled the main creative team from "Scream," including Kate Beckinsale, David Arquette, Christiana Yerry, Jamie Kennedy, and others!

"By the way, how did your superhero movie 'Phantom Knight,' adapted from the comic book, do at the box office?"

Catherine Zeta-Jones's "Fantasy Warriors," which she starred in last year, is being released this summer!

"Oh no, the results were terrible, it flopped."

Catherine Zeta-Jones was somewhat frustrated, as "Phantom Thief Jeanne" didn't receive very good reviews either.

Aaron smiled. "I'm having someone adapt the musical 'Chicago,' and filming will start no later than next year. You can play a role in it!"

"Your dance skills are still there, aren't they?"

Catherine Zeta-Jones nodded. "I've been dancing since I was a child, and I was even the British national tap dance champion."

"Of course I have a dance background! It was a huge help when I was filming 'The Mask of Zorro'!"

"That's good," Aaron said, patting the sexy woman in his arms. "I'm going to the restroom."

Soon after Aaron left the restroom and walked down the corridor, someone walked towards him!

"Aaron."

"Oh, it's Jerry."

That's right, the person who came was none other than Jerry Buss, the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers!

"Good evening, what a coincidence," Jerry Buss greeted with a smile. "The Rockets' moves this year have been quite surprising."

The Lakers signed Shaquille O'Neal to a record contract with the Orlando Magic, much to their regret. Aaron took a drag of his cigarette and tossed the butt to the ground. "Just lucky. You Lakers almost signed him, you were just a step too late."

Shaquille O'Neal is not a loyalist; he'll do anything as long as the price is right.

The Lakers certainly have the ability to sign him, but it would take time to work out the deal. The Rockets, on the other hand, offered him a $1.2 million contract, catching other teams off guard.

"By the way, Johnson probably won't be making a comeback after this retirement, right?"

"You know, Johnson's return last season made many players afraid!"

This guy is HIV-positive after all, and the league's players have a lot of opinions about his comeback.

"Don't worry, Johnson's body is no longer able to handle the intense games," Jerry Buss shrugged. Last year, Magic Johnson's comeback brought the Lakers a lot of exposure, but faced with complaints and resistance from most players, Johnson had no choice but to announce his retirement again!
Aaron nodded and patted Jerry Bass on the shoulder. "Isn't Philip Anschutz busy with the new stadium?"

"I believe that once the Lakers move into their new arena, they will become great again."

Without Shaquille O'Neal, Aaron can't imagine what the Lakers can do.
Relying on Kobe Bryant? Without Shaquille O'Neal, the Lakers will have a hard time being competitive, after all, Kobe Bryant is just a rookie now.

The Los Angeles Lakers' chance to rise has been thwarted by the Rockets!

"I'm really looking forward to the new stadium."

Jerry Buss certainly knew that a new arena would bring more commercial benefits to the team;

Since the Rockets opened the Dawn Center, sales of tickets, souvenirs, and in-area advertising have all increased significantly.

Aaron and Catherine Zeta-Jones then returned to their villa in Glenn, Beverly Hills.

"Um, Aaron, would you like to take a shower first?"

On the sofa, Catherine Zeta-Jones was pinned down by Aaron, her clothes half-undone, responding to the man's passionate kisses while asking a question.

"Hmm, darling, no rush," Aaron said, his hands moving non-stop as he removed the woman's bra and caressed her soft skin.
Catherine Zeta-Jones smiled and cooperated by removing their clothes...

After an unknown amount of time, "Hoo," Catherine Zeta-Jones lay weakly in the man's arms, her tired body covered in sweat!

"If 'Chicago' is officially in the works, there will definitely be many female celebrities eager to participate."

Of course, Catherine Zeta-Jones herself is also looking forward to it; this kind of work has a natural appeal to the Oscars.

Last year, the musical "Evita," adapted by Disney's Hollywood studio, attracted most of Hollywood's female stars.
Unfortunately, there were many musical parts in "Evita", and the director ultimately chose Madonna Cicconi to play the role of the First Lady of Argentina!

"Don't worry, there are two important female characters in 'Chicago,' and one of them will definitely be yours."

Aaron patted Catherine Zeta-Jones on the back and whispered comforting words.

For the other female role, Aaron is considering newcomer Charlize Theron, who he recently arranged to join the cast of "Scream 2".
When filming for "Chicago" started, Aaron didn't know the specifics...
