Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 512 These Beasts
The Amazing Building is a three-story office building in the Dawn Park, not far from the MCA Records building of Universal Music.

After Aaron left the Amazing Building, a familiar figure suddenly appeared on the street. She was wearing a white T-shirt and denim shorts, looking youthful and beautiful, with a touch of sexiness amidst her innocence!

"Good afternoon, Mr. Anderson."

The person walking over was Britney Spears, who signed with MCA Records, a subsidiary of Universal Music, last year.

Aaron smiled and said, "Britney, it's you. How's your album coming out?"

Britney Spears shook her head, but couldn't hide the joy on her face. "My new single is coming out soon, and if it does well, I'll release my first album as soon as possible."

Britney Spears, who is 17 years old this year, began systematic training after signing with the MCA last year;

Now, it's time for her to test the results!

Aaron's eyes lit up. Britney Spears had become an overnight sensation, and Universal Music needed a hit singer right now.

"Oh, the first single, has it been recorded already?"

Britney Spears nodded. "It'll be on the radio tomorrow."

"I really want to thank Mr. Anderson for giving me this opportunity!"

Aaron shook his head. "Even if MCA doesn't sign you, other record companies will discover your talent."

Britney Spears smiled, her face beaming with youthful joy. "I really don't know how to thank you?"

"Haha, just do your best. After the new single is a success, you'll treat me to dinner!"

Aaron knew all too well that Britney Spears' value was absolutely immeasurable.

Britney Spears looked at Aaron and said, "Okay, it's a deal then..."

Bars in West Hollywood at night.

Aaron sat on the sofa with Monica Bellucci, drinking. "That Italian drama, *Life Is Beautiful*, written, directed, and starring Roberto Benigni, received a lot of attention at the Cannes Film Festival."

"I heard it caused a sensation after its release in Italy at the end of last year!"

Although Giuseppe Tornatore's Italian drama film "The Legend of 1900" received good reviews, its influence was much less than that of "Life Is Beautiful".

Monica Bellucci nodded, "Not only did they sweep the Italian David di Donatello Awards and the Golden Globe Awards, but they were also very commercially successful."

"Life Is Beautiful grossed over 870 billion lire at the box office, setting a new record for Italian films!"

870 billion Italian lira, which, at the current exchange rate of over 1700 lira to US dollars, is more than 5000 million US dollars.

Life Is Beautiful received widespread praise from the Italian media, and Roberto Benigni was regarded as a "national hero".

Furthermore, Pope John Paul II of the Catholic Church even gave a private screening with Roberto Benigni and listed "Life Is Beautiful" as one of his top five favorite films!
"New Moon Pictures' 'The Iron Mask' is also doing well. It's grossed over $5000 million in North America, right?"

Leonardo DiCaprio had met Monica Bellucci earlier when they attended the Venice Film Festival together.

"The King in the Iron Mask" was released in the spring, riding the wave of the popularity of Leonardo DiCaprio's "Titanic", and was shown in many places around the world.

Currently, The Man in the Iron Mask has grossed over $8000 million at the international box office!
"In the second half of the year, both 'Life Is Beautiful' and 'The Legend of 1900' will be released in North America. Let's see how they perform then."

Aaron didn't really pay much attention to it; his focus was mainly on Universal's own blockbusters, like "The Mummy" which was currently showing!
A while later, when Aaron left the bar with Monica Bellucci, they saw several Lakers players coming to the bar to relax.

This included players like Hakeem Olajuwon and Kobe Bryant. The Lakers were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, and there was no progress in the NBA's labor negotiations.
The players have plenty of time for vacations and leisure!

After the Houston Rockets defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 3-1, they will face the Seattle SuperSonics in the second round of the playoffs. The series is currently tied 2-2.

In the bedroom of Villa Belair, Monica Bellucci lay on top of Aaron. "Aaron, are you interested in the World Cup in France next month?"

Aaron rubbed the woman's 36D breasts, somewhat helplessly, "I don't have much time, let's see if I can go to the finals in July?"

Right now in the US, Aaron has a lot to keep in mind, including the Wells Fargo Center stadium project in Inglewood, Los Angeles.

The NBA's new round of labor negotiations, Clinton's sex scandal, and Dawn's plans to split its stock this year.

Dawning's stock price has exceeded $85 per share, with a market capitalization of nearly $360 billion. The board of directors has discussed and is preparing to split the shares in two!

As he spoke, Aaron smiled and said, "France will definitely win this year. You can spend money at a betting station to bet on them."

"France wins?" Monica Bellucci shook her head. "France has never won the World Cup before."

Aaron flipped over and pinned Monica Bellucci beneath him. "Hey, trust me, this is France's chance!"

“Okay,” Monica Bellucci wrapped her arms around the man’s neck, and their lips met.

Soon, a sensual scene unfolded in the bedroom...

In late May, after three weeks in theaters, The Mummy's box office surpassed $100 million.
Aaron, on the other hand, attended the premiere of the romantic comedy film "Notting Hill," starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant.

Hollywood, Universal Studios Theater, the red carpet is dazzling with stars, and the flashbulbs of reporters on both sides are constantly flashing!

"How are you doing? Are you adjusting well?"

Aaron asked Britney Spears, who was attending a movie premiere for the first time, a question.

Britney Spears' single "First Love," released two weeks ago, has become a huge hit, topping the Billboard charts in North America.
And it's currently number one on the UK charts!

Britney Spears, standing nearby, looked excited, saying, "I'm so excited, I can't wait to release an album."

Aaron smiled. "Preparing for it, right?"

"Yes, we'll be selecting a few songs and putting this single on an album, and I'm also going to shoot a music video for the new song!"

Just as Aaron was about to say when, his assistant, Etherine Baker, came to his side and whispered, "Boss, something's happened in Asia?"

"what's up?"

"Indonesia has seen riots and targeted massacres!"

Aaron's expression changed, and a bad feeling welled up inside him. Had he actually forgotten about this?

He then clenched his fist. "Okay, I understand!"

What a bunch of beasts!

Afterwards, Aaron went to the theater's restroom alone, washed his face, and looked at himself in the mirror, his anger still burning...
