Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 590 He's really popular

CBS News’ major news programs include The Evening News, 60 Minutes, The Morning News, 48 ​​Hours, and Political Talk.

Compared to CNN, MSNBC, and FNC, which broadcast 24/7 cable news programs, CBS and ABC's reporting seems less incisive!
The FNC's news reports about Madeleine Albright were clearly critical, focusing on war and the large number of civilian casualties, which garnered a lot of attention.
CBS's coverage, however, focused on Madeleine Albright's diplomatic victory and the greatness of America, which clearly failed to attract viewers.

Burbank, Disney headquarters, animation department.

Roy Disney, president of Disney Animation, sat on the sofa, flipping through box office statistics, and sighed, "Our 'Tarzan' has been in theaters for a month and a half, and has grossed $1.5 million."

"Pixar's Toy Story 2 has grossed $140 million in just three weeks!"

Disney Animation President Peter Snyder also spoke with some seriousness: "The strength of 3D animation has exceeded our expectations."

"Pixar has only released three animated feature films so far, but its achievements are quite remarkable."

Roy Disney frowned. Now, Disney doesn't only have Pixar as a competitor; DreamWorks is also a force to be reckoned with.
No one knows Jeffrey Katzenberg's capabilities better than him. Disney's live-action movies are a mess, and if it loses its advantage in the animation market, then Disney's decline is not far off.

"It seems I need to have another serious talk with Mr. Eisner!"

The Disney Group was co-founded by his father and uncle, and no one loves Disney more than him…

In early August, Dawn Twilight Pictures' teen sex comedy "American Pie" was released, opening with a gross of $18.7 million, a success for a film with an investment of only $11 million.
Despite mixed reviews, it hasn't dampened the enthusiasm of young people.

The Philadelphia Inquirer: "This movie feels painful and real, and it may be the funniest movie you've seen this year. It's a classic of teen sex comedy."

The Los Angeles Times: "American Pie is particularly funny, unexpectedly tender, and more erotic than a teenage boy's dream."

The Baltimore Sun: "American Pie is just a tired old formula that expresses some uninteresting opinions, which may occasionally amuse people, but most of the time it is disgusting."

The New York Post: "Very vulgar. You wouldn't believe that this movie is just funny from beginning to end."

Hilton Beverly Hills Hotel, Los Angeles.

After 10 days in theaters, Rush Hour 2 has grossed $1.3 million at the North American box office, and the crew held a grand celebration party!
"Boeing has already finalized the deal. Your customized Boeing BBJ2, modified based on the new Boeing 747, will be delivered next summer."

"As for the yacht, I have commissioned Ferretti Shipyard in Italy to design it," Christina Yerry, who had just returned from Europe, reported to Aaron.

Aaron nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. Scream 3 is about to start filming. Will you be joining the cast?"

"Yes, I'll be in the first two movies. Anyway, it won't take long. It's mainly Kate Beckinsale!"

The lead actress in the Scream series was Kate Beckinsale, while Christina Yerry played an important supporting role.

Aaron smiled and said, "Kate Beckinsale's performance in The Mummy was brilliant, and her return in Scream 3 is highly anticipated."

Christina Yerry took a sip of her drink. "When are you going to Japan?" "Later this month," Aaron said, glancing at Jack Cheng not far away. "Look, he's really popular!"

Jack Cheng was surrounded by a lot of people at this time, which shows how much everyone likes him.

Christina Yerry praised, "Rush Hour 2 has started showing in Western Europe, and the scenes are very exciting."

“Previously, Jack Cheng and Will Smith went to Rome for promotion, which caused a great sensation.”

However, with the success of the Rush Hour series, and the two main actors, Jack Sing and Will Smith, becoming superstars;

This will be a huge test for Rush Hour 3.

Jack Cheng is currently filming Disney's comedy-action film "Shanghai Noon," while Will Smith has joined the cast of the sports drama "The Legend of Beg Vince."
"The Legend of Beg Vince" is adapted from the novel of the same name by the famous American author Steven Pricefield. It is directed by Robert Redford and stars Matt Damon and Will Smith.

For the Men in Black 2 project, Will Smith's salary was already $2000 million plus other profits;
If Rush Hour 3 is in the works, I really don't know how much it will cost.
"By the way, isn't Dawn Steele preparing 'Charlie's Angels'?"

Christina Yeri inquired.

Aaron smiled. "Yes, are you interested?"

Christina Yerry shook her head. "I could never do an action movie, and besides, I'm not really interested in acting."

"I'd be more interested in art films!"

Unfortunately, Christina Yerry has her own career now, she doesn't lack money, and she has no interest in fame.
Christina Yerry's interest in theater is far greater than her interest in film.

Aaron put his arm around the woman's waist. "Disney has adapted 'The Lion King' into a musical, and it will premiere in the UK next month."

"You should know how influential The Lion King is. Its global box office of $7.7 million is currently the highest for an animated film!"

Upon hearing Aaron Anderson's words, Christina Yerry knew what he was thinking: "Do you also want to adapt Dawn's work into a stage play?"

"I certainly want to, but I don't know which ones would be suitable for adaptation?"

Aaron shrugged. Dawn Group owns several large theaters, including the Globe Grand Theater, Angel Theater, and Dawn Grand Theater.

There are often musicals, dance dramas, and ballets performed there!
In terms of theatrical production capabilities, Dawn really can't compare to Disney.

Although the theater market is far smaller than that of film and television, many people in Europe and America have a very good attitude towards theater.
Broadway in New York generates considerable profits every year, and it is also one of the springboards to Hollywood.

Many filmmakers are discovered in Hollywood after gaining experience on Broadway, or many who can't make it in Hollywood go to Broadway to continue their careers!
