Hollywood starts with a broker

It's April in Los Angeles, the weather is warm, and it's a sunny spring time!

In West Hollywood, Aaron lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes. Nicole Kidman next to him was teasing his face with her long hair.

"It's so early in the morning, aren't you sleeping?" Aaron said, rolling over so his face was down. Although Nicole Kidman, at 22 years old, is definitely a sexy beauty, morning grumpiness is irresistible.

Nicole Kidman smiled, leaned on Aaron's back, and rested her chin on the man's shoulder, "Why, you were like a lion last night, tireless!"

"Well, thank you for the compliment," Aaron rubbed his eyes, "Today is the weekend, there shouldn't be anything important!"

Okay, for an agent, there shouldn't be weekends, but, who made Aaron not a proper agent?

"Are you going to the Cannes Film Festival?" Nicole Kidman asked.

"Yes, at the end of this month, I have to go there in advance. I have a director, Steven Soderbergh, who is also going;"

"His work has been nominated for the Palme d'Or!"

With that said, Aaron hugged Nicole Kidman in his arms and kissed her, "Want to go and see?"

"Can I?"

"Of course, it's just the Cannes Film Festival, just treat it as a vacation!"

Besides witnessing the success of "Sex, Lies, and Videotape," Aaron is also going to Cannes to take on the distribution rights and promotion business for several films.

"Okay, let's sleep for a while," Aaron said, patting the woman in his arms. I don't know if Nicole Kidman will have the chance to meet Tom Cruise?

"Well, did we offend that executive from Orion Pictures last night?"

Aaron shook his head, "Who knows if he will remember us? Relax, don't think too much, take the time to read my script "Ghost" a few more times;"

"When the time comes, see how your man helps you make a splash in Hollywood!"

"Still making a splash?" Nicole Kidman also laughed…

Around noon, the two got up and went to a nearby restaurant for a meal. Nicole Kidman saw a piece of news in the newspaper and was surprised.

Aaron glanced at it. The entire crew of "Total Recall" filmed by Carolco in Mexico City suffered a sudden food poisoning incident, only the male lead Arnold Schwarzenegger was safe and sound because his food was custom-made in the United States!

"Arnold's salary for this movie is 11 million US dollars. He is getting closer and closer to Stallone's footsteps," Aaron explained.

Action stars, last year's "Die Hard" produced another Bruce Willis;

Plus Harrison Ford, Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson, action movie stars are indeed valuable now!

"The gap between male and female stars is too big. The salary of top female stars is only two or three million US dollars," Nicole Kidman shook her head.

Aaron glanced at the other party, "Now you can get tens of thousands of dollars, just become famous first!"

Afterwards, Aaron turned to the financial newspaper, which was full of news about Japan. Japanese companies were acquiring American assets again;

According to the news Aaron knew, Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures should have been negotiated, and now it's just the final official announcement.

Since the Plaza Accord, Japan has started a wave of overseas acquisitions, and Hollywood, with its resources, is a dream place for Japanese investors!

In the evening, Nicole Kidman lay in Aaron's arms with a ruddy complexion, her fair skin was very attractive.

"Is it a little bad to sleep with your client so quickly?" Aaron asked, stroking the woman's body.

Nicole Kidman curled the corner of her mouth, "Why didn't you say this when you were lying on me just now?"

"Well, just stay here for the next few days, and we'll go to Cannes together when the time comes," Aaron smiled. The current Nicole Kidman is very attractive!

"Got it…" With that said, Nicole Kidman took the initiative to kiss Aaron again, passionately.

At the end of April, Aaron had to go to Cannes, France in advance to arrange the relevant matters for Steven Soderbergh;

After all, he is also a new director who has been shortlisted for the main competition unit, and the work of acting as an agent to sell the international copyright of "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" is also CAA's job.

At the same time, the movie "Dead Calm" starring Nicole Kidman also reached a box office of 7 million US dollars;

This kind of movie only has a month's schedule, and it seems that there is no hope of hitting 8 million US dollars.

Although the days with Nicole Kidman are still short, going to Cannes next can be a good time to enjoy for a while!

At CAA headquarters, Paula Wagner looked at Aaron Anderson in front of her, "What are your thoughts on the international agency for "Sex, Lies, and Videotape"?"

"It's better to sell it outright, Steven Soderbergh also means this," they are all newcomers, and there are no heaven-defying ideas.

"The main markets are Japan and Europe. I will directly sell the theater screening rights, videotape rights, and TV broadcast rights as a package;"

"As long as "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" can earn some fame in Cannes, it will not be difficult to sell the distribution rights!"

Moreover, Miramax owns the North American screening rights for the film. North America, as the world's largest entertainment market, is of paramount importance;

Without exception, one first, one inside, one capacity, one on one see!

In any case, Miramax also hopes that this film can become famous in Cannes, which will help them distribute it domestically.

In the whole year of last year, the North American theater market broke the 4 billion US dollar box office mark, and the growth rate compared to the previous year was 15%;

After the economic crisis, the domestic industry downturn promoted the development of the film business. After all, for Americans, going to the cinema is a relatively cheap form of entertainment.

"Since you have a plan, that's good. It is originally the business of the brokerage company for the agent to underwrite the distribution rights of film works, but I didn't expect that you can do this kind of thing alone!"

Aaron smiled, "The current independent distribution companies mainly focus on horror and bloody themes;"

"Not many people pay attention to this kind of literary or overseas art films, and there is less market competition."

Paula Wagner shook her head, "Less market competition means that distributors don't pay attention to it, and there are fewer opportunities to enter theaters!"

Aaron also agreed, but unfortunately, Miramax's Harvey Weinstein is indeed ahead of many people;

Many of these literary films, other film companies dare not distribute, but Miramax dares, and this guy does pay attention to art works.

No wonder this guy will be called the King of Independent Films and the savior of art works in the future. He still has the courage!

"When are you going to Cannes?"

"Tomorrow's flight…"
