Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 573 Political Correctness
In the early morning, Aaron, lying in bed, let out a muffled groan and exhaled a long breath. Then Liv Tyler crawled out from under the covers and gasped for air!

Aaron stroked Liv Tyler, who was nestled in his arms, feeling her softness. "By the way, what have you been up to lately?"

Liv Tyler said casually, "I have a dark comedy film releasing in the next few days. It's directed by Robert Altman and stars Glenn Close, Julianne Moore, and others."

"It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year, and in February, it was nominated for the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival. The film is titled 'The Secret Legacy'."

"After that, in addition to filming my scenes on the set of The Lord of the Rings, I also have two other scripts to film."

Aaron smiled. It seemed that Liv Tyler did have a lot of work to do. "Robert Altman did produce quite a few works in the 1970s."

Then, Aaron had another idea. "Dawn Global is adapting 'Charlie's Angels' into a movie. You should play a role in it; there will be quite a few action scenes."

"At that time, we will invite a Hong Kong action director to train the angels on their action scenes!"

Liv Tyler's eyes lit up, and she sat up abruptly, completely unconcerned about revealing her glamorous side. "Cool! Are you asking me to play an action heroine?"

Charlie's Angels was a popular TV series in the 1970s, and Liv Tyler certainly knew about it.

"Yes, the three angels each have their own unique characteristics, but they are all extremely skilled!"

Aaron looked at the sexy woman in front of him. "Isn't it interesting? And the movie version of 'Charlie's Angels' won't have a low budget."

Liv Tyler nodded. "Great! I've always wanted to try different types of work, and I really love 'Charlie's Angel'!"

As she spoke, Liv Tyler pressed herself against Aaron's chest and reached out to stroke little Aaron, "When will we start filming?"

"Well, let's get it done as soon as possible. We need to find someone to adapt the script, and we should be able to start filming by the end of the year," Aaron said, running his hand through Liv Tyler's brown hair. "Just wait for news..."

Following its Oscar win for Best Picture, "Chicago" saw increased popularity, with its North American box office exceeding $1.5 million.
Meanwhile, "Chicago" also began its overseas release.

In his office at the Dawn Tower in New York, Aaron received an invitation to the "Fortune Global Forum Shanghai Conference" hosted by Time Warner!

"The Fortune Global Forum is being held in Shanghai this year, which is quite interesting, especially since it's in late September."

Aaron looked at the invitation in his hand. It was indeed worth a visit. After all, Fortune magazine was a top international financial magazine, and it was considered one of the world's three major financial magazines, along with Forbes and BusinessWeek.

Afterwards, Aaron called Dawn Steele and told him about the adaptation of "Charlie's Angels"!
"Oh, you think Drew Barrymore is good?"

Dawn Steele sounded somewhat surprised on the phone, "I also think highly of her; she really surprised me with 'A Kiss That Seduced'."

"Drew Barrymore could play one of the three angels, but who will play the other two?"

"Liv Taylor is one, and for the rest, find an Asian actress!"

Actually, the best strategy would be to have one Black actress, or, to be bolder, one White actress, one Black actress, and one Hispanic actress.

However, Aaron is not fond of black people, so there will definitely be no black angels. In this day and age, there is no need to pay too much attention to ethnic minorities. Latinos and Asians have never had much status to begin with, so it doesn't really matter whether they exist or not.

But Aaron will definitely choose an Asian actress, which can be seen as representing ethnic minorities and is absolutely in line with political correctness!
“Okay, ‘Charlie’s Angels’ is very much in line with feminist ideas, and I’m very interested in getting involved,” Dawn Steele laughed. “Well, then get things ready as soon as possible. A release next year is probably too late; let’s schedule it for the year after!”

After all, it's already April, and the pre-production of "Charlie's Angels" takes time.

That evening, Aaron drove to King Point in Great Neck, Queens, where Sophie Marceau had specifically purchased a beachfront villa overlooking Manhattan Bay.
Great Neck borders Nassau County on Long Island and is an affluent area of ​​Queens. It boasts beautiful scenery, a quiet environment, and is close enough to Manhattan!

"Honey, don't you like staying in Montreal, Canada?"

Aaron picked up Sophie Marceau and sat her down on the sofa.

Sophie Marceau kissed Aaron. "It's a bit far, and going back to New York would be a waste of time, so we bought a house here."

"It can also be considered an investment, so it doesn't matter."

Aaron smiled. Sophie Marceau was always so easygoing. "Look, last year's *City of Angels* grossed $1.9 million worldwide and received good reviews."

"Isn't it much better than your French comedy, 'The Mistress of Louis XIV'?"

Sophie Marceau was both amused and exasperated. "Aaron, you don't like me going back to France to film, do you?!"

Aaron shook his head and reached out to grope the woman's thigh. "No, what I mean is, you need to be careful with the scripts from France. Works like 'The Mistress of Louis XIV' are just awful."

“If you’re selling tickets entirely based on your reputation, and it’s a legitimate French script, then of course I wouldn’t object.”

Sophie Marceau nodded. "Understood. I'll also consider the actors I work with in the future."

"However, I have many friends in France, so sometimes it's hard to refuse them."

Sophie Marceau has worked with actors such as Hugh Grant, Harrison Ford, Mel Gibson, and Nicolas Cage in Hollywood, which is certainly much better than the small fry in France.
But Sophie Marceau has not given up her career in France after all.

Aaron looked nonchalant. "That's easy, just let the agent handle it."

"Okay, I recently took on a romance film for Paramount, working with Mel Gibson!"

Sophie Marceau lay down on the sofa, resting her head on Aaron's lap. "What Women Want," she said, "is about a man who accidentally gains the ability to see into women's minds. He then uses this ability to help others and wins the heart of his female boss."

Mel Gibson is undoubtedly one of America's top male stars right now. Is he trying his hand at a romance film again?

Aaron thought for a moment, "I have to say, the idea for this script is really good!"

Sophie Marceau previously worked with Mel Gibson on "Braveheart," and now she has starred in several romance films, so she is indeed a good fit.

If I remember correctly, there will be a Chinese-language film called "What Women Want" in the future, which is adapted from this movie, and the female lead will be Andy Lau and Gong Li...
