Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 504 Getting into Hollywood
Jeb Bush's core campaign for Florida governor revolved around two issues: education reform and economic development.

With the strong support of former President George W. Bush, Texas Governor George W. Bush Jr., and other members of the Bush family, Jeb Bush's prestige increased rapidly.

Of course, Jeb Bush also received a lot of political donations, which enabled him to better conduct large-scale advertising campaigns and grassroots mobilization!
"It seems Jeb Bush has a high success rate this time!"

On Miami Beach, Aaron leaned back in a beach chair and talked on the phone with Lloyd Bentson Jr.

"Of course it's higher! The Bush family has poured all their resources into it, and their financial resources are far beyond what that lieutenant governor can match!"

Four years ago, the Bush family's resources were mainly focused on George W. Bush Jr., since Texas was the Bush family's home base.

Four years ago, the Bush brothers, George W. Bush and Jeb Bush, ran for governor of Texas and Florida respectively, and the Bush family naturally supported George W. Bush of Texas.

"That's true. George W. Bush has a high approval rating in Texas right now, so winning re-election this year shouldn't be difficult!"

After all, governors can easily get re-elected if they don't cause any major problems, and even the US president doesn't have too much difficulty getting re-elected.
Had Florida Governor Lawton Chilis not been diagnosed with cancer and hadn't already suffered health problems, he would certainly have been re-elected.

Aaron was relieved to hear what Lloyd Bentson Jr. had to say, after all, he had already invested a considerable amount in the Bush family;
Moreover, Aaron also intends to enter the oil and energy industry through the Bush family!
After putting down his phone, Aaron looked at the view of the Atlantic Ocean in front of him, his mind filled with thoughts. Texas’s vast oil resources and powerful military industry were definitely a hot commodity.

These things are fundamental, unlike the entertainment or financial industries, which are too virtual.

Just then, Charlize Theron, dressed in a sexy bikini, walked over. "Aaron, are you that free right now?"

"Free time?" Aaron pulled Charlize Theron onto his lap. "I'm just taking a break from my busy schedule!"

Last year, Scream 2 was released and grossed $1.7 million worldwide. As an important supporting actress in the film, the sexy and beautiful Charlize Theron gained a lot of popularity.

This summer, Universal Pictures will release another disaster blockbuster, "Armageddon," directed by Michael Bay and starring Bruce Willis, Chris O'Donnell, and Charlize Theron.

Charlize Theron will soon go from an unknown Hollywood nobody to a famous Hollywood star!

“Mmm,” Charlize Theron kissed Aaron on the lips, their tongues entwined.

Aaron felt the woman's heat and responded to her while caressing her sexy body.

Nighttime, in the bedroom of the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, Aaron, lying on the bed, loosened the woman's blonde hair and exhaled!

A short while later, Charlize Theron, panting heavily and with a flushed face, climbed onto Aaron's chest. "It seems DreamWorks has a disaster movie similar to ours, *Armageddon*, coming out in May."

"The film 'Armageddon' is scheduled for release in July. Won't that affect us?"

Charlize Theron was referring to DreamWorks' collaboration with Paramount, Deep Impact, which is indeed in the same genre as Arrest, and the similarities are quite high!

Aaron reached out and squeezed the woman's chest before laughing, "There's definitely something there, but as long as the movie is good, there's no problem." "Armageddon" cost a whopping $1.4 million, no wonder Charlize Theron was worried.

Last year, MGM released a disaster blockbuster about a volcanic eruption called "Dantz". With a production cost of $1.16 million, it only grossed $6700 million in North America and $1.78 million worldwide.

The male and female leads are Pixar Brosnan from the James Bond series and Linda Hamilton from the Terminator series.

Moreover, in the second half of the year, 20th Century Fox released another similar volcanic eruption disaster film, "Volcano," which cost $90 million to produce but only grossed $49 million in North America and $120 million worldwide!
"Don't worry, there's a market for disaster movies. Sony also has a Godzilla movie based on a Japanese monster to be released this year."

Since Dawn produced two blockbuster films, "Twister" and "Independence Day," two years ago, Hollywood has seen a surge of disaster science fiction works.

"That's good," Charlize Theron is still a newcomer, and the failure of such a big film can greatly affect her future.

Even Charlize Theron's role in "Armageddon" was limited to her sex appeal and some scenes depicting the father-daughter relationship.

But if a film like "Armageddon," with an investment of 1.4 million yuan, fails, she, as an important female character in the film, will definitely be ignored!
"By the way, what do you think of 'The Devil's Advocate,' which was released last year?"

Aaron asked Charlize Theron in his arms, after all, she almost became the female lead in this movie;

After all, it stars Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves.

"Not bad," Charlize Theron traced a line on Aaron's chest with her finger. "The North American box office just reached $6000 million."

"The film grossed $9000 million in overseas markets and $1.5 million worldwide. The film's reputation can only be described as mediocre."

The Los Angeles Times: "In Devil's Advocate, while Al Pacino showcased his acting skills, some of his over-the-top performances ultimately caused some scenes, while visually appealing, to deviate from the overall plot and thus threaten the film's pacing."

The Hollywood Reporter: "While *The Devil's Advocate* is coherent and somewhat disjointed in its plot, and a bit exaggerated in some parts, it's a very funny comedy."

"It's especially funny when we see Al Pacino roaring!"

Aaron casually patted Charlize Theron in his arms, saying, "The female lead in 'The Devil's Advocate' has several explicit nude and sex scenes to attract attention."

"Most new actresses can't escape this kind of arrangement, but now you've escaped it, haven't you?"

As a new actress in Hollywood, if you don't take your clothes off, how will you ever get a role?
If you don't show off your breasts and don't sleep with people, what are you going to do in Hollywood?
Charlize Theron looked up at Aaron and smiled, "It's a good thing I ran into you, otherwise I wouldn't have this opportunity!"

Aaron pulled the blanket up a bit. "Okay, let's rest now..."
