Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 597 Heaven and Earth
The news of AOL's impending merger with Time Warner was widely reported, shocking the entire United States and even the world.

AOL, as the world's largest internet service provider, holds a leading position in the internet field, possessing a huge user base and advanced internet technology;
AOL offers a wide range of online services, including email, instant messaging, news, and entertainment, which are very popular among users.

Thanks to its innovative business model and strong marketing capabilities, AOL was able to rise rapidly in a short period of time and become a leading company in the internet industry!

On the other hand, Time Warner is a giant in the traditional media industry and is currently the largest entertainment group, possessing abundant media resources and strong content creation capabilities;
It owns many well-known media brands, such as Time magazine, People magazine, HBO cable television network, and Warner Bros. film company, and has a wide influence worldwide.

Time Warner has accumulated extensive experience in content production, distribution, and dissemination, and its high-quality content resources are highly competitive in the market!
At this time, the internet industry was developing rapidly, while the traditional media industry was also facing the pressure of digital transformation;

Both AOL and Time Warner recognized the enormous potential of the convergence of the internet and traditional media and hoped to achieve complementary advantages through a merger, creating a brand-new media and communications business model.

This model will integrate internet technology and traditional media content to provide users with richer and more convenient information and entertainment services!
Of course, this was an unprecedented consolidation involving both new and old industries, which directly triggered antitrust reviews in the United States and the European Union;
Many believe the deal violates Section 7 of the Clayton Act and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, and will reduce competition in the residential broadband internet access market, weaken the incentive for U.S. Online to promote digital subscriber line (DSL) broadband internet services, and stifle competition in the interactive television market.

At the same time, the rise of the Internet economy seems to have reached its peak. Countless investors are overly optimistic about the industry's prospects, and a large amount of funds have poured into Internet companies, driving up stock prices.
More and more companies are raising funds solely based on the ".com" concept and user growth stories, lacking stable profit models and actual performance support. Their price-to-earnings ratios are as high as hundreds or even thousands of times, far exceeding the average level of traditional industries, and the market's speculative atmosphere is frighteningly strong...

Regardless of the uproar caused by AOL and Time Warner in the United States, Aaron Anderson, far across the ocean, was enjoying a leisurely time with Lin Zhiling in BJ!

At night, Aaron and Lin Zhiling entered a nightclub called Heaven on Earth in the west annex of the Great Wall Hotel. The place was glittering and bustling with people.

"Someone recommended it, saying it's the most luxurious nightclub around here!"

"Really? The decor here is so luxurious!"

After passing through the lobby, Aaron and Lin Zhiling arrived at the private room together, where the staff quickly brought out wine and fruit platters.
Aaron casually handed the waiter a stack of 100-yuan bills.

On the sofa, Lin Zhiling took a sip of champagne. "Aaron, do you have any friends here?"

Aaron shook his head. "No, I know a few people in Hong Kong and have some investments there."

As he spoke, Aaron stroked the woman's thigh and kissed Lin Zhiling on the cheek. "So, are you still working as a model now?"

"Yes, I mainly work as a model, shooting commercials. I also worked as a dance teacher at a school before," Lin Zhiling explained with a smile.

"Oh, I didn't think about anything else. Modeling is a profession that relies on youth!"

“I previously earned a double degree in Western Art History and Economics from the University of Toronto, but I feel I prefer life in the fashion industry.”

Aaron smiled. "It feels okay now, but you won't feel that way in a few years."

"But it doesn't matter. I have plenty of endorsements and advertising opportunities. From what you're saying, you probably also want to enter the entertainment industry!"

Lin Zhiling leaned close to Aaron's ear and gently blew a breath, "Then, will I have a chance?"

"What do you say?"

Aaron kissed the woman's lips directly, and Lin Zhiling embraced Aaron and responded passionately... The two did not stay at the Heaven on Earth for long before returning to their hotel;

After all, it was just Aaron's curiosity about the nightclub. After taking a look, he didn't think there was anything special about it, except that it was full of extravagance and debauchery!

Early morning in October in Beijing, the weather was still relatively cool. In the bedroom of the Beijing Hilton Hotel, Ya Lun was lying on top of Lin Zhiling.

Lin Zhiling, covered in fragrant sweat and slightly out of breath, rubbed the back of the man on top of her, her voice soft and delicate, "Aren't you getting up?"

Aaron felt the woman's hot and sexy body, and smiled as he looked at Lin Zhiling, whose face was still flushed and whose skin was fair and rosy. "Darling, you have such a great figure!"

"Hmm," Lin Zhiling kissed the man, "Didn't you say you were going to invest in real estate in Beijing and wanted me to be your assistant first?"

Aaron rolled off Lin Zhiling. "Haihua Real Estate Company already has people handling this matter; whether I intervene or not is irrelevant."

"But you, I heard you're going to Japan to study modeling and fashion?"

Lin Zhiling nodded. "Yes, I plan to go to Japan to study for a while to improve my professional skills."

"Among all of Asia, Japan has the most thriving modeling and advertising industry!"

Aaron stroked the other's full breasts, "Media Asia Entertainment has a branch in Japan, Media Asia Japan. Although it's a small talent agency, its resources are quite good."

"If you really want to go to Japan, just go directly to the Asia Pacific Japan office. They will arrange whatever you want to learn."

"Hmm," Lin Zhiling exclaimed, "Is Media Asia Entertainment in Hong Kong also yours?"

Aaron smiled, "Haihua has investments, and isn't Wang Zhuxian the current boss of Huanya? You should know that!"

Lin Zhiling smiled without saying a word, but simply leaned against Aaron's chest and kissed the man's lips.

"Not enough?" After the kiss ended, Aaron stroked the woman's exquisite curves, still somewhat unsatisfied.

“It’s not enough, it’s never enough,” Lin Zhiling said, pressing herself tightly against the man. “If I want to make movies in the future, will Media Asia give me the opportunity?”

Aaron stroked the woman's long hair. "It's nothing, haha. You speak fluent English and Chinese. You could even go to America to develop your career!"

"America?" Lin Zhiling asked with some longing, but shook her head. "I'm just a model now; I don't know what I'd do in America."

"Developing and expanding one's career domestically is the right path..."
