Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 509 Who Can Stop You

Although Universal Music, a subsidiary of Dawn Group, has only achieved moderate success in Japan, its Monster Games' Pokémon series has been a huge hit in the market.
The popularity of the Pokémon games led to the development of an anime series, which became a huge hit and spurred a massive market for toys and other derivative products!
Moreover, Blizzard Entertainment just released StarCraft in the United States, which became a huge hit and received even more attention than Diablo.
Currently, Sugon also attaches great importance to the development of its gaming business.

Nintendo, Sony PlayStation, and Sega Saturn, the three major game console manufacturers, are not only selling home game consoles, but also developing their own games!

Sony's PlayStation console has been developing smoothly in recent years, and has formed a two-way competition with Nintendo. Sega Saturn has begun to lower its price to boost sales.

Furthermore, Sega and Microsoft announced plans to develop a new generation of game consoles.

"It seems that Microsoft has set its sights on the home game console market and no longer wants to just develop games!"

Aaron muttered to himself, after all, the future famous Microsoft Xbox game console was a name that could be heard of.
Microsoft currently has a gaming division, but it only develops PC games. Now, it's going to partner with Sega to develop a game console.

At the headquarters of Dawn Music Japan, Aaron sat on the sofa in his office. A short while later, Masasuke Horii, the head of Universal Music Japan, arrived!
"The Japanese music market is one we value highly, and Universal needs to sign more competitive artists."

"The physical record industry will shrink in the coming period, and how we can protect our interests will depend on the strength of the signed singers."

There's no way around it; Japan's record industry has always been very developed, mainly because Japan's piracy rate is much lower than that of Europe and America.
Japan does an excellent job in respecting intellectual property rights, and the power of the internet is now evident, with the physical record industry facing an initial crisis.

As Aaron spoke, he held in his hand the MPMAN F-10, the first MP3 music player launched by the South Korean company Sehan!

A small black square player was specially brought by Masuke Horii; Aaron hadn't expected to encounter an MP3 release.

"Understood, Universal Music Japan will do its best to discover outstanding young singers!"

Masasuke Horii bowed.

Aaron nodded. "PolyGram has just been acquired by MGM, and there will be a period of turmoil. Perhaps that will be our opportunity."

The competition in the Japanese market is fierce, with domestic record companies like PolyGram, Warner, Sony, and Avex.
Evening, at the Shibuya villa.

Aaron and Norika Fujiwara were soaking together in the huge bathtub, enjoying themselves immensely!

With her face still flushed, Norika Fujiwara nestled in Aaron's arms. "Onii-san, are you still going to Osaka?"

Aaron nodded. "I need to go."

Universal Studios Japan in Osaka is scheduled to open in the second half of next year, and Aaron needs to go check on the construction progress.

Although we trust Sumitomo Realty & Development, Universal Studios Japan in Osaka is their first overseas theme park, so we definitely have to take it seriously.

"Hmm, do you want me to come with you?"

"No need, you already have a lot of things to do at work, so just focus on your own business!"

As he spoke, Aaron embraced and kissed the sexy woman in his arms; her 34E hot body was irresistible.

Soon after, Aaron sat by the bathtub, stroking Norika Fujiwara's hair and enjoying the lady's enthusiastic service... The Asian financial crisis continued to expand, while the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal in the United States was still under investigation!

In late April, Aaron in Asia received good news from the United States: the Wells Fargo Center project in Inglewood, Los Angeles, had finally obtained formal land approval.

In other words, the Los Angeles Stars' stadium can now be built.

Aaron, full of enthusiasm, returned to Los Angeles immediately!
After Anderson Sports announced plans to build a new football stadium at Inglewood Hollywood Park;
Protests immediately erupted in the community near Inglewood Hollywood Park.

They worry that the new stadium will damage the environment of Hollywood Park, and they also fear that once the new stadium is built, it will drive up housing prices in the vicinity and increase the cost of living!
“These guys,” Aaron and Inglewood Mayor Edward Vincent could still see the marching crowd in the distance from the hotel balcony of the Hollywood Park Casino.

Edward Vincent smiled. "They'll understand!"

There seemed to be no concern about the protesters.

Aaron nodded. "It seems construction has started on the Lakers' and Kings' new arenas, and the Great Western Forum will soon be vacant."

"Only then will Parliament approve my Phu Quoc Centre stadium project!"

The Great Western Forum is located just north of Hollywood Park, and it's not far from the racetrack.
Since construction began on a new arena in downtown Los Angeles last month, the Inglewood City Council must be getting anxious.

The Great Western Forum is the home of the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers and the NHL's Los Angeles Kings. After the new arena is built in downtown Los Angeles, both teams will definitely have to move there.

This is definitely not a good thing for Inglewood!

Edward Vincent nodded. "Of course, that's one reason. But mainly, we all want Los Angeles to have an NFL team back."

Aaron glanced at the Great Western Forum stadium in the distance and chuckled, "The Hilton family has always been against the new stadium project!"

The Hilton family, who own the Great Western Forum, are certainly worried that the new stadium will continue to encroach on the Great Western Forum's resources once it is built.
Fortunately, Wells Fargo Stadium is an outdoor football stadium, not an indoor arena like the Great Western Forum.

After all, the biggest obstacle to the Staples Center project in downtown Los Angeles is the Great Western Forum, which is the most direct competitor.

Philip Anschutz spent a significant portion of his long preparations for the Staples Center stadium, concentrating on persuading the owners of the Great Western Forum.

"The Hilton family couldn't even stop the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles, so how could they possibly stop you?"

Edward Vincent shook his head. Philip Anschutz, as the richest man in Colorado, could build a new stadium in downtown Los Angeles.

Who is Aaron Anderson? He is the richest man in California, the youngest person to be listed on the Forbes 400 list, and the head of the Dawn Group.

His influence in Los Angeles is enormous, far surpassing that of Philip Anschutz, and the Wells Fargo Center is a large football stadium.

Whether it's the scale of construction, the difficulty of construction, or the cost invested, it's far superior to the Staples Center Stadium. And yet, the project has already been approved!
