Hollywood starts with a broker

Winona Ryder completed all her scenes in just 3 days on the set of "Scent of a Woman" at the Waldorf;

At the same time, "Sleepless in Seattle" also announced its wrap after completing its final scene on the observation deck of the Empire State Building!

At night, in Manhattan's West Village, inside the top-floor bedroom of a four-story duplex apartment near the High Line Park, bordering the Hudson River.

Winona Ryder lay in Aaron's arms, her fingers tracing patterns on the man's chest. "Isn't this place just for your rendezvous with women?"

Aaron glanced at the Hudson River night view outside the circular floor-to-ceiling window. "What rendezvous? This is only a few blocks away from Dawn's New York office;"

This book is first published on the entire network by 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

"I just happened to buy it when I saw it was good at the time!"

"As you can see, it's an old building, and the price isn't expensive. Real estate is worth investing in now."

Winona Ryder, draped in a blanket, got out of bed, took a sip of water, "The Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Los Angeles is announcing the Oscar nominations tonight. Aren't you concerned at all?"

Aaron picked up a cigarette from the side, lit it, took a puff, and smiled. "Anyway, both 'The Silence of the Lambs' and 'Ghost' will get a lot of nominations. Whether they win or not, it's up to God!"

At least, the judges at the current Academy Awards ceremony are very subjective. Harvey Weinstein's viral public relations haven't appeared yet.

Winona Ryder looked at Aaron, "I'm going to the London set tomorrow. When are you going over?"

"In two or three days, the crews of 'The Silence of the Lambs' and 'Ghost' will also go to London to attend the British Academy Film Awards!"

Aaron was also going to go with them, and then he would go to the "Bram Stoker's Dracula" crew. The film's post-production, marketing plans, etc., all needed to be discussed at meetings.

"Really? You're going to attend the British Academy Film Awards too?"

Winona Ryder smiled, "'Edward Scissorhands' has also been nominated for several technical awards, and I will also be there!"

After all, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp would not be there, only she, who was filming in London, would go.

"The main thing is that 'The Silence of the Lambs' has been nominated for many awards," Aaron himself didn't care much about the Oscars, let alone the British Academy Film Awards?

The male and female leads and director of "Ghost" will not go to London either, after all, there is only one Best Supporting Actress award in the acting categories, and the others are technical.

It's just that Aaron plans to set up a branch of Dawn in the UK as a bridgehead for entering Europe!

With the announcement of the 64th Academy Awards nominations, "JFK", "The Silence of the Lambs", "Bugsy", "Ghost", and "Beauty and the Beast" received nominations for Best Picture;

Disney's animated feature "Beauty and the Beast", after winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, became the first animated feature film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture!

Dawn's film "Boyz n the Hood" received a Best Director nomination;

Making the film's director, John Singleton, the first African-American to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director.

When the Oscar nominations were announced, waves rose again in Hollywood: Barry Diller, chairman of 20th Century Fox Film Group, officially resigned, taking $120 million in severance pay and leaving News Corporation;

And at Time Warner, COO Gerald Levin took advantage of the absence of the group's co-CEO, N.J. Nicholas, who was on vacation, convened a board meeting, and kicked N.J. Nicholas out of Time Warner in one fell swoop!

In his office in Manhattan's West Village, Aaron clicked his tongue as he looked at the newspaper. Gerald Levin was also from the Time Inc. system as N.J. Nicholas;

This was a blatant backstab. Now the power of Time Warner was entirely in the hands of another powerful CEO, Steve Ross, but Steve Ross had begun to recuperate last year due to prostate cancer.

Whether it was Gerald Levin or N.J. Nicholas, they both knew that Steve Ross wouldn't live long, and then N.J. Nicholas would be in power;

Now, Gerald Levin was ingratiating himself with Steve Ross in advance, kicking his biggest competitor out of the game in one fell swoop?

"Gerald Levin!"

Aaron shook his head. Was this the root of the future management turmoil at Time Warner?

Now he can betray N.J. Nicholas, and when Steve Ross dies, there will definitely be a board of directors' purge;

Otherwise, Gerald Levin would not be able to control the board of directors at all. Now the members of Time Warner's board of directors are basically Steve Ross's supporters!

In the afternoon, Dawn Steel came to Aaron's office.

"Jan de Bont's idea is good. 'Speed' will start filming in the summer, with Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly as the male and female leads;"

"You should cooperate with him to complete the crew as soon as possible. This movie will be released next summer!"

Aaron had already talked to Keanu Reeves about this movie, and as for Jennifer Connelly, there was even less of a problem;

As for letting Jennifer Connelly join "Reality Bites", it was also simple. She could ask the school for leave when the time came!

Dawn Steel nodded. There were still several months to prepare, so there was no problem.

"By the way, send the script outline of 'The Mask of Zorro' to director Ridley Scott to take a look;"

There is no mistake and one first one hair and one inside one capacity and one is one one look!

"This kind of historical action film fits Ridley's directing style!"

Aaron was preparing "The Mask of Zorro", and the first director he thought of was Ridley Scott.

"Director Ridley Scott? He is currently busy with the post-production of '1492: Conquest of Paradise'."

Dawn Steel explained, and "Thelma \u0026 Louise", which was released last year, also got Ridley Scott nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director;

"Thelma \u0026 Louise" pioneeringly integrated feminism and road movies, and is currently a benchmark work of feminism!

"That's right, then let people perfect the script first, and wait for that '1492: Conquest of Paradise' to be released;"

"In a while, I will talk to Ridley Scott about this script first."

Aaron wanted to make "The Mask of Zorro" into a tense and exciting Western action film, and the budget would not be low;

However, for now, let's focus on 'Speed' first!

"Aaron, shouldn't we develop a few more romantic comedies now? These types of works have low investment, not to mention the filming process is simple;"

"Compared to action blockbusters, the production cycle of romantic comedies is also much shorter."

Action movies like "Speed" and "The Mask of Zorro" require more investment and are more difficult to film, which is a challenge for the newborn Dawn Pictures!

Aaron smiled, "Don't worry, romantic comedies will definitely be filmed, and I will also set up a genre film studio, specializing in the distribution of horror thrillers, bloody violence and other B-movies."
