Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 578 Sexy and Sweet in One

From New York to Las Vegas, and then from Las Vegas to Washington, D.C., by the time Aaron left Washington and returned to Los Angeles, it was already mid-May!

The supernatural suspense horror film "The Sixth Sense" is currently showing in theaters and has grossed $2600 million in its opening weekend. After two weeks of release, it has accumulated $7000 million in box office revenue in 10 days.
The film received rave reviews; its heartwarming horror elements and unexpected twist ending thrilled audiences.

The Hollywood Reporter: "M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense is a poignant and heartwarming ghost story that combines all the elements of a classic Hollywood film with all the chilling elements of a modern horror movie."

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer: "We haven't been this fascinated, terrified, and amazed by a film in years!"

USA Today: "From beginning to end, the director of The Sixth Sense kept surprising the audience. Looking back, the ending is probably worth pondering."

The Los Angeles Times: "The film's final twist surprised everyone. The ending doesn't completely redeem it, but it will make you think about what you've seen!"

Burbank, Dawn Headquarters. Aaron sat in his office chair, a smile playing on his lips. "This Indian-American newcomer director, M. Night Shyamalan, has truly given us a huge surprise!"

“Yes, it was fantastic,” Dawn Steele said, then shook his head. “Unfortunately, Fight Club is doing terribly. It’s been a month since it was released, and it’s only grossed $3500 million in North America. I doubt it will ever break $4000 million.”

Aaron waved his hand, "That romance film, 'Kiss of the World,' is doing quite well; it's already grossed over $4500 million."

"Derry Barrymore has found his own acting path!"

Dawn Steele nodded. "Indeed, Drew's abilities may have been proven."

"Also, we have a recommendation for 'Charlie's Angels' from an Asian actress; you can check it out."

Aaron took the resume and flipped through it. The first one was Lucy Liu, an Asian-American actress who played a supporting role in the American TV series "Ally McBeal"!

Aaron completely ignored her; this kind of woman is not only representative of Asian beauties, even though she is involved in Jack Cheng's work "Shanghai Noon".
Aaron then flipped through a few more and finally found an Asian American actress who looked pleasing to the eye. Her name was Kelly Hu, and she had participated in the filming of many TV series. Like Lucy Liu, she was a minor actress on the fringes of Hollywood.

"This one, Kelly Hu, Miss Hawaii winner, is sexy and beautiful, and has a wealth of acting experience;"

"Moreover, I specifically studied martial arts last year for my role in the American TV series 'The Crossing Dragon,' which perfectly meets the requirements!"

Aaron quickly decided that in the film version of "Charlie's Angels," Liv Tyler would showcase her sexiness, Kelly Hu would be responsible for the exciting fight scenes, and Drew Barrymore would be the source of humor.

Dawn Steele nodded. "According to our plan, 'Charlie's Angels' is scheduled for release next summer, with a budget of $9000 million!"

Aaron tapped the table. "Recently, Germany introduced a generous film tax rebate program, which is more feasible than in other European countries."

"Shuguang needs to strengthen its cooperation with German investors."

As various overseas regions have successively introduced regulations on film tax rebates and rebates, Hollywood's scale and proportion of overseas productions are also increasing.
Germany, as the leading economic power in Europe, has a relatively underdeveloped cultural and entertainment industry, but the government's subsidy policies are very attractive!
At noon, Everett Fleck, head of Dawn TV, came to Aaron's office!
"The idea for this 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation' is quite good, and it could be scheduled to air on CBS next fall."

Aaron pointed to the documents on the table, “Start production on ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’ as soon as possible. I want the first season to air on CBS this year!”

Everett Fleck nodded. "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is simple to produce and not difficult to prepare."

"However, the budget for 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation' will be higher, estimated at $80 per episode; "The producer originally recommended it to ABC, but it was rejected by Jamie Tuthers, the head of ABC's programming department!"

"Jamie Tuthers? You mean that female executive Disney poached from NBC?"

Aaron smiled. "Don't worry, the $80 investment per episode is worthwhile."

"By the way, how's the feedback on Starz's 'The Sopranos Season 1'?"

Everett Fleck smiled. "The average rating per episode is 3.4, and the reviews are excellent. Starz has already ordered a second season!"

Aaron stood up. "Not bad. The ratings for the second season should skyrocket. Next, you need to quickly integrate the production departments of Dawn Television and CBS Television."

"It won't be long before I merge CBS's television production division into Dawn Television."

Everett Fleck's eyes lit up. "I understand..."

In the afternoon, Aaron invited Britney Spears to a rooftop restaurant in downtown Los Angeles to celebrate the huge success of their debut album, "First Love".
"See? Your album 'First Confession of Love' has already sold over 200 million copies. Music magazines like Rolling Stone and Billboard have all given you rave reviews."

"A sexy yet sweet style that drives countless teenagers crazy."

Aaron looked at the 18-year-old Britney Spears as if she were a golden goose that could lay eggs, the pillar of Universal Music for the next ten years!

Britney Spears beamed, "I never expected it to be this successful. The record company is helping me prepare my second studio album, which is scheduled for release next year."

"I also plan to hold a concert tour of my self-titled album in North America from the second half of this year to next year."

Britney Spears got more and more excited as she spoke!

Aaron smiled. "Cool, cheers!"

Just as Aaron raised his champagne glass, he suddenly heard a shout outside and immediately turned to look down at the street.

Many Chinese residents are marching with signs and loudspeakers!
Aaron stood up abruptly, staring at the marching crowd below, pondering. He had met with Clinton in Washington before and discussed this matter, but Clinton obviously didn't care.

Clinton simply wanted to boost his approval ratings. As the war progressed, the opposition party increasingly called for public discontent against him, which was mainly for propaganda purposes.

"Hey, what's going on?" Britney Spears also got up and came over.

Aaron shook his head. "Those American and NATO soldiers killed a lot more people in Yugoslavia, and even more people were affected!"

“Never mind, after dinner, I’ll take you somewhere else to celebrate,” Aaron said, putting his arm around Britney Spears’ shoulder…
