Hollywood starts with a broker

In the Chelsea district of Midtown West, Manhattan, Aaron, at Dawn's New York office, was preparing to develop "The Mask of Zorro" ahead of schedule.

Because it was a story about a new generation of Zorro, Aaron spent a week organizing an outline before finding someone to adapt the script!

At the same time, after Jessica Parker helped Dawn obtain a $50 million mortgage, she suddenly reported good news to Aaron.

"Are you saying that Merrill Lynch is willing to provide me with a $150 million revolving credit line?"

Aaron leaned back in his chair, looking at CFO Jessica Parker.

Jessica Parker nodded, "Yes, Merrill Lynch is very confident in Dawn, and of course, mainly confident in you, boss;"

"Providing this $150 million credit line will allow Dawn to develop several works simultaneously."

Aaron smiled, "Dawn now has an additional $200 million in cash!"

Merrill Lynch is optimistic about Dawn's future, and the collateral is the movies Aaron will develop later.

"Very good, 'Indecent Proposal' is almost finished filming, and we can promote it vigorously!"

"Indecent Proposal" is distributed by Dawn itself, which is not like "Reservoir Dogs", it requires heavy marketing investment;

Next, "Speed", "The Mask of Zorro", and the like can be developed at any time.

After Jessica Parker left, Aaron instructed his assistant, Aislinn Beckett, "Have Dawn take the script of 'Speed' to talk to director Renny Harlin and John McTiernan."

John McTiernan has directed action films such as "Die Hard" and "The Hunt for Red October";

And Renny Harlin has also just directed "Die Hard 2" to great fame!

"Yes, I understand. Winona Ryder will come to New York next week to guest star in 'Scent of a Woman', and can only stay in the crew for a week at most."

"A week is enough!"

Aaron is, after all, one of the producers of "Bram Stoker's Dracula", and knows the progress of filming very well...

New York Hilton Waldorf Astoria Hotel, "Scent of a Woman" set.

Al Pacino, Matt Damon, and guest star Winona Ryder gathered together.

Wearing a black halter-neck backless dress, Winona Ryder, with a fresh and refined look, attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.

"Boss, the bank's funds have arrived, but the new project 'Speed' is not going smoothly. Director Renny Harlin is preparing to shoot Carolco's new film 'Cliffhanger', starring Stallone;"

"And director John McTiernan is also preparing a fantasy action blockbuster starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, 'Last Action Hero'!"

On the set, Aislinn Beckett whispered to Aaron, obviously, these action film directors have their own projects to work on;

"Cliffhanger" and "Last Action Hero" are both mega-productions, certainly not comparable to "Speed"'s budget of more than 30 million?

"Does the production department have backup candidates?" Aaron frowned.

"Director John McTiernan recommended Jan de Bont, a cinematographer who has worked with him many times, to direct the film;"

"The crew is in contact with Jan de Bont!"

Aaron nodded, "If Jan de Bont can come up with a suitable plan, 'Speed' can be handed over to him."

Aaron has always dared to boldly use new directors!

Afterwards, Aaron flipped through a script in his hand, "Reality Bites", which Winona Ryder recommended to him;

The story is about a group of Generation X college graduates facing life's difficulties such as work, society, and love in the city.

At night, in Aaron's hotel room.

Winona Ryder rang the doorbell with a bottle of red wine!

"So interested?"

Aaron took the wine glass handed over by the other party and took a sip.

"What, don't you want me to come over?"

Winona Ryder glanced at Aaron, "Wasn't it you who was flirting in the dressing room during the day?"

Aaron smiled, reaching out and stroking the girl's thigh, "In a few days, I will also go to the 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' set in London, England with you;"

"After all, filming will wrap up next month!"

Winona Ryder asked about another matter, "What do you think of the script I gave you?"

"The script has been in preparation for two years, and I haven't been able to find an investor. At the end of last year, my agent showed it to me, and I liked it very much and prepared to join!"

"Reality Bites" is an art film, and the director is also a newcomer, Ben Stiller. If there are no big-name stars joining, of course it will not be able to attract investment;

Winona Ryder chose to join, and the producer can use her fame to seek financing. Winona Ryder was too lazy to waste time and directly gave it to Aaron Anderson, with whom she had a relationship.

"It's very artistic. If filmed well, it could be an excellent work!"

Aaron said, pulling the girl into his arms.

Feeling the man's heat, Winona Ryder closed her eyes, "The shooting budget for 'Reality Bites' exceeds $10 million, is that okay?"

No mistake, one first, one inside, one appearance, one capacity, one existence, one look!

"With you starring, it's not difficult to break even. You seem to have a great interest in art films?"

Last year, Winona Ryder also guest-starred in a Jim Jarmusch art drama film, "Night on Earth"!

Moreover, "Reality Bites" is also very suitable for Jennifer Connelly to star in, after all, it is about several young college graduates.

"You mean, Dawn will invest?"

"No problem, but I hope 'Reality Bites' can be released in the spring of next year!"

Aaron said, hugging the girl and entering the bedroom.

Ben Stiller is also a comedy star that Aaron remembers deeply. Investing in advance is not a problem.

"The crew will be perfected soon. After 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' ends, I can shoot 'Reality Bites'!"

Winona Ryder responded while cooperating with the man to take off her clothes.

Aaron looked at the girl under him, "I don't have much time to take care of this project. Are you interested in being a producer?"

Winona Ryder nodded, "As long as you fund the filming, everything else is fine!"

"Okay, then I want to let Jennifer Connelly join the group and play a role;"

"At the same time, Adam Sandler, a young actor from 'Saturday Night Live', will also join!"

Aaron really wanted to see what sparks Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler could create.

"Jennifer Connelly, huh?"

Winona Ryder put her arms around the man's neck and joked with a smile, "Do you want me to give her the lead role?"

"Mmm!"

Aaron directly blocked the girl's lips, pulled the quilt over them...
