Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 491 Not His Own

Cirque du Soleil performs as a resident guest at the Treasure Island Hotel Theater on the Las Vegas Strip.

"Cirque du Soleil's fame is growing bigger and bigger!"

Sophie Marceau and Aaron sat in a private room upstairs, enjoying the show "The Mysterious Man".

Aaron smiled. "The United States now has over 90 circuses, but none of them can compare to Cirque du Soleil from Montreal, Canada."

"Even circuses that can hold national tours are very rare, but Cirque du Soleil has held world tours."

Sophie Marceau nodded. "Cirque du Soleil recently held a European tour."

"More than 400 circuses have performed in Paris, but none of them have had the same influence as Cirque du Soleil!"

Compared to the United States, Europe is more enthusiastic about circus performances, especially France and Italy.

Aaron patted Sophie Marceau's hand. "Cirque du Soleil has a long-term performance agreement with Treasure Island Hotel."

"In addition, there are special performances by big stars such as magician David Copperfield and singer Celine Dion in other locations. Are you interested?"

Just like Celine Dion, who signed a three-year, $4000 million residency contract with Caesars Palace in Las Vegas two years ago.

Currently, Celine Dion's "Celine Dion Live Show" at Caesars Palace is sold out every time!

Sophie Marceau smiled and said, "Aaron, you seem to be in a lot of spirits right now?"

Aaron shrugged. "No, it's just that I've gone to so much trouble to come all this way for a vacation with you, so of course I need to relax properly."

"Besides, didn't you also say that you're always busy in Hollywood and don't have much time to rest?"

Sophie Marceau nodded. "It's time to relax. Last month, I went back to France, where truck drivers went on strike over a wage dispute, blocking the port. It was a mess!"

Aaron leaned back in his chair, a smirk playing on his lips. "Strikes in France? Isn't that a normal thing?"

"Furthermore, in the French general election held in the middle of this year, then-President Jacques Chirac appointed Lionel Jospin from the opposing camp as prime minister in order to seek re-election, thus beginning the third time in French history that the left and right were in a joint government."

The impression that France gives Aaron now can be summed up in one word: "chaotic." This situation, where the president and prime minister belong to different political camps, is inherently inappropriate, yet Jacques Chirac failed to avoid it.
The result of this co-governance is that government policies oscillate between left and right, work efficiency is low, social problems continue to worsen, problems such as crime, unemployment and illegal immigration become prominent, and voters' interest in elections decreases!

Sophie Marceau shook her head. "I don't care about any of that. I'm going back because I received the French Legion of Honour."

"I made a special trip to Paris to receive the presidential medal at the Élysée Palace."

In recent years, Sophie Marceau's outstanding performance in Hollywood has made the world aware of this sexy and beautiful "French Kiss";
The French government awarded her a medal in recognition of her contributions to the promotion of French culture and the entertainment industry.
“I see,” Aaron said. Of course, he had no interest in any of these things. Even the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor for American citizens, was something he scoffed at.

"By the way, Titanic's box office in its third weekend was $3300 million, only a drop of a little over $200 million compared to last week;"

"The North American box office has now reached $1.5 million, and the momentum of 'Titanic' is truly astonishing!"

After all, 20th Century Fox has already released "Titanic" on a large scale in Europe. Aaron reached out and stroked Sophie Marceau's thigh. "Ha, weren't the media and critics all vehemently pessimistic when it was first released?"

"Look at the current situation, with the terrifying momentum of 'Titanic,' isn't anyone pessimistic about its future?"

The entertainment industry is currently showering praise on "Titanic," after all, the movie has both grand scenes and an epic love story.

With both box office success and positive word-of-mouth, no one dares to call it a failure anymore!
"You're so impressive. I wonder if 20th Century Fox regrets bringing in Dawn Global as a partner?"

Sophie Marceau couldn't help but laugh and leaned in to kiss Aaron on the cheek.

“They definitely regret it, but they won’t say it out loud,” Aaron said, pulling Sophie Marceau close and kissing her.

Their lips and tongues intertwined in a passionate kiss, and Aaron even reached inside the woman's blouse, feeling its supple softness...

That night, after returning to the MGM Hotel, Aaron and Sophie Marceau couldn't wait to roll into bed together!

"Yes, Aaron, my agent has received invitations from Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, the producers of the 007 series;"

"They want me to play a Bond girl in the next 007 sequel."

Sophie Marceau lay on the bed, turned her head and spoke to Aaron Anderson on her back.

"Wow, so fast?" Aaron stroked the woman's soft skin, somewhat surprised. "Tomorrow Never Dies has only been out for half a month, and it's already grossed $73 million at the North American box office."

"Moreover, the reviews for the currently showing 'Tomorrow Never Dies' are also mediocre, and it is not as good as 'GoldenEye' directed by Martin Campbell two years ago."

MGM has already gotten Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli to start working on the next 007 film so quickly?
Or is it because MGM's parent company, Seagram, is acquiring PolyGram, and MGM wants to expand its market as quickly as possible?

"Honey, what do you think?"

Aaron asked Sophie Marceau, since the 007 series is very well-known, playing a Bond girl role in it would definitely help improve her international influence;

In particular, Sophie Marceau's current international fame largely comes from the movie "Braveheart"!
A film that performs well internationally can have a very positive effect on boosting an actor's commercial fame.

Just like after the huge success of "Mr. Bean" this year, Rowan Atkinson, the male lead, became a global sensation!
“I’m not interested. The Bond girls in the 007 series are just pretty faces, and this type of movie doesn’t appeal to me at all.”

Sophie Marceau responded, panting.

Aaron chuckled, then rolled off the woman's back and lay down on the bed. "If you don't like it, just refuse. Anyway, you don't really need the 007 series to improve yourself now!"

Sophie Marceau nodded, snuggled into Aaron's arms, and kissed the man. "Looks like you're not a big fan of the 007 series either?"

Aaron's lips twitched. "No, it's mainly the 007 series. It's not Dawn's IP."

What's the point of liking something if it's not yours?
