Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 584 What's wrong with enjoying yourself?

Aaron is of course not concerned about Rupert Murdoch's marriage. If anyone cares, it's his own four children. Aaron is just joining in the fun.
In terms of status, Aaron Anderson is now at the pinnacle of Hollywood, and being acquainted with Rupert Murdoch, he will definitely participate!
With the summer blockbuster season underway, Dawn's second action blockbuster, "Entrapment," was released, performing moderately well with a box office of $2500 million in its opening weekend.
After all, the creators of "Entrapment" are all British, and the film's budget of $7500 million is not considered high.

Released at the same time as "Entrapment" was Paramount Pictures' thriller crime film "The General's Daughter," adapted from the novel of the same name by Nelson DeMille, which tells the story of sexual assault and conspiracy at West Point Military Academy.
"The General's Daughter," starring John Travolta and Madeline Stowe, had a production cost of $9500 million and opened with a gross of $2200 million. It received better reviews than "Entrapment."

Meanwhile, the sequel to New Line Cinema, "Austin Powers 2," was released earlier, opening with $5500 million and accumulating $1.1 million in box office revenue after 10 days, with a production cost of only $3500 million.
Disney's animated feature film "Tarzan" opened with $3400 million and grossed $7700 million in 10 days, with a production cost of $1.3 million.

The most surprising thing is definitely "Austin Powers 2". How could a lowbrow comedy that parodies 007 have such a huge appeal?

Two years ago, "Austin Powers" grossed $5300 million in North America and $6700 million worldwide, with a budget of $1750 million. The results were only so-so.
But this year's "Austin Powers 2" caused a sensation!

The male lead, Mike Myers, can be considered a comedic genius. He was originally unknown, unremarkable in appearance, and short in stature, but in the "Austin Powers" series, he was both a writer and the male lead, full of quirky ideas.

Now, everyone is speculating whether he will become the next Jim Carrey, after all, both of them are comedians from Canada!

"Oh, Winona, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

In Aaron's office at Dawn Building, a somewhat haggard Winona Reid walked in.

“Nothing much, I’ve just been busy editing ‘Girl, Interrupted’ lately,” Winona Ryder said as she sat down on the sofa.

Aaron shook his head, walked over, and sat down next to the woman. "Judging from your condition, you haven't finished editing yet?"

"Not yet, it will probably take another two months. Director Gus Van Sant has very high standards for the film!"

This isn't Winona Ryder's first time serving as a producer; she previously did so with "Real Trauma".

Aaron grasped the other's hand. "Girl, Interrupted is scheduled for October, and it will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. There's still time."

"Actually, your other film, 'Shakespeare in Love,' is quite good. The test screening went very well. Edward Zwick's directing skills are trustworthy!"

Winona Ryder smiled and said, "I know, I'm going to the Venice Film Festival in September to promote 'Shakespeare in Love'."

"However, this movie was indeed very comfortable to film. Most of the actors were British powerhouses, and we worked together very well."

The male lead is Joseph Fiennes, who exudes Shakespearean charm, while the supporting cast includes Geoffrey Rush, Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson, and Colin Firth!

"Let's go relax tonight. You need to balance work and rest. Haven't you taken on any new films lately?"

Aaron put his arm around the other person's shoulder and asked.

Winona Ryder shook her head and leaned into the man's arms. "I'm planning to rest for a few months..."

As late June approached, Aaron took Christina Yerry to the "Brilliant Morning" yacht docked at Chelsea Pier in Manhattan to attend Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng's wedding.
There were over 80 guests in total, with no media present. Two New York police officers were also on duty around the wedding venue to prevent paparazzi, demonstrating Rupert Murdoch's effective security measures. "It seems none of Mr. Murdoch's four children attended?"

Christina Yerry was somewhat puzzled. Rupert Murdoch had a daughter with his first wife, and his recently divorced second wife had a daughter and two sons.

Aaron shrugged. "Rupert Murdoch may be 68, but he can still have children, and they'll all be dividing the inheritance eventually."

"It would be strange if his children could come; they are the most opposed to Rupert Murdoch remarrying!"

Christina Yerry suddenly realized that this was indeed how things were in wealthy families.

However, Aaron was looking at the "Brilliant Dawn" private yacht, which was obviously bigger and more luxurious than his own "Starlight" yacht docked at the Los Angeles pier!

The Starburst was less than 120 feet long and was received in 1993, while the Brilliant Dawn is certainly more than 150 feet long.

“Yeri,” Aaron didn’t bother to think about it anymore. He was now a top-tier tycoon, so what was wrong with enjoying himself?
"Um, is there something you need?" Christina Yerry turned her head.

"Next, you go to Europe and check out those shipyards. I want to commission a super-large luxury private yacht, no less than 300 feet in length."

"When it comes to enjoyment, the Europeans are the best. Also, Boeing and General Electric have partnered to enter the business jet market."

"I also want to customize a Boeing BBJ luxury private jet. The Gulfstream model is too small and not very suitable for long-distance flights!"

Christina Yeri paused for a moment, looked at Aaron, and shrugged. "Okay, I'll help you make contact with them from now on."

Aaron nodded. "Money is not a problem. Once the design is complete, we'll start construction immediately."

Aaron had ridden on Air Force One and thought it was great. Although it couldn't be replicated, he still had to enjoy the experience.

Looking at Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng not far away, Aaron smiled and said, "We should go and congratulate the newlyweds too!"

The wedding officiant was no nobody; he was Jaquinin Silberman, a judge of the New York Supreme Court.

The guests were mainly political and business leaders, as well as some people from the entertainment and media industries.

"Congratulations, Mr. Murdoch, on finding a life partner who understands you!"

Aaron shook hands with Rupert Murdoch, who was wearing a two-button suit.

"Thanks……"
