Hollywood starts with a broker
#128 - They don't dare
At Dawnlight Studios, in a screening room, Aaron was enjoying "Reservoir Dogs" with others!
This is the taste, the integration and creation of violence, darkness, and humor, with unique and distinct postmodern characteristics;
Talkative, good at using dialogue, passionate soundtrack, non-linear narrative.
"Quentin, your style is really refreshing," Aaron said, unconsciously raising the corner of his mouth.
"Aaron, do you like it?"
Quentin Tarantino couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, after the new year, Brad will take you and Lawrence to the Sundance Film Festival in Park City to screen 'Reservoir Dogs';"
"The film will be scheduled to enter theaters by the end of March!"
Lawrence Bender is a producer Quentin Tarantino knows, and the two are "birds of a feather."
"That would be great," Quentin Tarantino certainly had no objections. Who wouldn't want their work to be released in theaters?
Afterward, Aaron returned to his office.
Jack Wells also came over, "I introduced Salma Hayek to an agent I know at WMA;"
"At least, she can shoot some GG or magazines, or some small roles in TV series!"
Aaron nodded, "By the way, what's the situation with Miramax?"
Previously, Aaron had taught Harvey Weinstein a good lesson.
"Nothing major has happened. Harvey is still buying up finished films everywhere, hoping to succeed!"
"Heh, can spreading the net wide lead to success? Miramax doesn't have the financial resources to support it," Aaron knew that Miramax would be acquired by Disney when it was on the verge of bankruptcy in the future;
And Disney's financial resources are the foundation for supporting his ambition. Miramax and Disney can be said to have achieved each other.
"Oh, a major event happened in Los Angeles last month. I brought the newspaper!"
Aaron smiled, "Are you talking about Los Angeles Lakers' star player Earvin Johnson retiring because of AIDS?"
"Magic" Johnson being infected with AIDS, wasn't that the big news last month?
Jack Wells shook his head with a smile, "You are now an important figure in Hollywood, why would I show you other sports news?"
"Here, it's a memo from Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg, originally sent to Disney Chairman Michael Eisner and other directors, but somehow, the content of this memo appeared in the Los Angeles Times!"
Aaron took it and looked at it. It was Jeffrey Katzenberg reflecting on the failures of Disney's live-action films "Dick Tracy", "The Rocketeer", and "Billy Bathgate";
In particular, he focused on comparing "Pretty Woman" and "Dick Tracy". Although he didn't mention Michael Eisner in every sentence, every sentence implied Michael Eisner.
"It seems that the internal strife among Disney's executives is already very serious. Jeffrey Katzenberg is really not an easy person to deal with;"
"Michael Eisner has the support of Disney's major shareholder Sid Bass and Disney family shareholder Roy Disney. The board of directors is his sole domain;"
"Jeffrey Katzenberg, who is in charge of the film and television business, does indeed have a great desire for power!"
Currently, the renewed success of "Beauty and the Beast" has given him more confidence.
"I have indeed received news that the atmosphere inside Disney is very oppressive now."
Jack Wells explained.
Aaron waved his hand, "Michael Eisner's achievements are not that simple. He has multiplied Disney's consumer products market several times and increased Disney's brand value by more than ten times;"
"Jeffrey Katzenberg does have the ability to lead Disney animation into glory, but it is not enough to compete with Michael Eisner!"
Now, for Disney, the opening of Euro Disney in the suburbs of Paris next spring is the top priority.
The arrival of Christmas should have been a festive and lively season, but a phone call made Aaron feel very unhappy;
A phone call from the "Indecent Proposal" set in Las Vegas reached Aaron, reporting bad news.
Dawn Steel, a production staff member at Dawnlight Studios, informed Aaron that the filming of "Indecent Proposal" had encountered a problem, and Robert Redford's condition was quite poor!
"Indecent Proposal" was scheduled to be released in the summer. Now, after nearly two months of filming, when it was about to wrap up, Robert Redford had a problem?
Aaron Anderson hurriedly flew from Los Angeles to Las Vegas with Jack Wells!
"There is indeed a problem," Aaron completely understood when he saw Robert Redford for the first time;
In "Indecent Proposal", the elderly tycoon played by Robert Redford is handsome and suave, otherwise, how could he attract the young and sexy Demi Moore?
But now, Robert Redford had heavy bags under his eyes and was listless. His condition was too poor!
"Robert, how long has this state been going on?"
Aaron looked at Dawn Steel.
No mistake, one song, one hair, one content, one look, one look!
"It's been a week. Director Adrian Lyne and producer Steven Ruther can't solve it!"
Jack Wells frowned, "Why did you only notify Aaron now?"
Dawn Steel didn't speak, but Aaron spoke, "Robert Redford is a superstar, whether it's Adrian Lyne or others, they don't dare to;"
"'Indecent Proposal' is a CAA project, and he is CAA's marquee client!"
"Dawn, you performed very well. If you continue to be excellent, I will let you be solely responsible for Dawnlight Studios' projects."
Saying that, Aaron went directly to Steven Ruther's office!
Steven Ruther just sighed when he saw Aaron, "Aaron, I have already notified Mr. Ovitz, and he will personally talk to Robert Redford."
"Steven, the release date of 'Indecent Proposal' is May next year, and there is not much time left. Dawnlight has already spent $25 million to film it;"
"You should understand the meaning of $25 million!"
Steven Ruther was helpless, "The main thing is that Robert Redford has been suffering from insomnia all night recently, and his body and mind are a bit overwhelmed."
Aaron shook his head, "'Indecent Proposal' has been filmed to this point and must be completed. I don't want any other reasons;"
"Not only must it be completed, but it must also be completed on time!"
"Aaron, Mr. Ovitz will arrive tonight, and we will give you an answer by then."
Steven Ruther knew that Aaron definitely didn't like the insurance company's on-time completion compensation;
Dawnlight is distributing its own films this year, and the publicity work for 'Indecent Proposal' had already started when filming began!
Aaron took a deep breath and nodded.
Seeking monthly tickets, wanting to collect enough 100 points, alas.
