Hollywood starts with a broker
#149 - A mixed bag
The Los Angeles riots sparked huge discussions both domestically and internationally, a game about the American judicial system and racism!
In the screening room of Dawnlight Pictures, a rough cut of "Schindler's List" was being played. Aaron watched the black and white images on the screen, chin in hand;
Thinking that once this movie was released, the Best Picture at the Oscars next March would basically be uncontested.
"Is Spielberg still in Hawaii?"
Aaron asked suddenly.
Brad Grey, who was next to him, nodded and replied, "That's right. The filming of "Jurassic Park" won't be that fast. Universal has scheduled its release for next summer. Spielberg will be quite busy!"
"Schindler's List" will be released at the end of the year anyway. This kind of art film definitely needs to borrow the fame of the awards season for publicity;
However, with the media power of the Jewish people, whether it's newspapers or TV stations, they will definitely voluntarily promote the movie.
Afternoon, in Aaron's office.
A novel called "Interview with the Vampire" was placed on the table. It is the first published novel in the "Vampire Chronicles" novel series by American Gothic, Christian literature, and erotic literature writer Anne Rice!
"'Interview with the Vampire' was published in the seventies and Paramount bought the filming rights for 10 years, but Paramount has never developed it;"
"After that, the filming rights were transferred to Lorimar Film Entertainment, a 5-year filming agreement, which also expired at the end of last year;"
"So, I think Dawnlight can film this novel. After all, we just participated in the production and filming of Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula", and we already have some experience with this type of subject matter!"
Dawn Steel was suggesting to Aaron that he should acquire the adaptation rights to Anne Rice's novel "Interview with the Vampire" for development.
Aaron looked at the novel on the table, a smile on his face, "Okay, go talk about it. I'm also quite optimistic about this novel."
After Dawn Steel left, Aaron picked up the novel and started reading it...
Malibu, a BMW Z1 convertible was driving on Highway 1 along the Pacific coast.
"Aaron, are you going to have me go to England to film a romantic comedy?"
Sophie Marceau, who had just arrived in Los Angeles from the set of "Deadly Romance", received the script for "Four Weddings and a Funeral".
Aaron smiled, reached out and stroked the girl's thigh, "Yes, this script is very interesting and will have unexpected effects;"
"It's different from a thriller like "Deadly Romance"!"
Sophie Marceau nodded, "Yes, this script is full of comedy, it's not difficult to film."
Romantic comedies are originally the simplest type. Sophie Marceau had also filmed many French romance films in her early years!
Before long, the car stopped at a beachfront villa in the Point Dume estate in Malibu, a vacation villa that Aaron had purchased before.
"You really know how to enjoy life!"
Sophie Marceau hugged Aaron Anderson and stood on the balcony, feeling the warm Pacific breeze, the blue sky, the white clouds, and the waves.
"Isn't money just for enjoyment!"
Aaron kissed the girl, feeling the beauty in his arms, and asked with a smile, "How is it, is filming a Hollywood movie a different experience?"
"Yes, it is indeed different. Director Tony Scott has quite a temper, and some of the crew are scared;"
"The time interval from one filming set to another is not long. In Europe, it's not so rushed!"
Compared to the laziness of France, Hollywood's approach is too commercialized.
At night, in the bathroom, Aaron Anderson and Sophie Marceau were taking a fragrant double bath!
"Are you going to Cannes? They invited me to attend the closing ceremony. I have to go early to prepare. I'll leave after the weekend."
Under the shower, Sophie Marceau leaned in the man's arms, feeling the warm water.
"I don't feel like there are any good works, and "Indecent Proposal" will be released next Friday. There are also many Dawnlight projects now. Ordinary movies can't attract my interest!"
"Speed", "Philadelphia", and "The Mask of Zorro", as well as "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "The Piano" these foreign films invested by Dawnlight;
In addition, Aaron approved Dawn Steel to develop "Interview with the Vampire", and Dawnlight also has the adaptation rights to "Forrest Gump", there are really a lot of projects.
Sophie Marceau smiled, turned around and kissed Aaron on the lips, "Now Cannes is full of news about "Basic Instinct";"
"Director Paul Verhoeven's work has caused great controversy, and all the media are arguing endlessly!"
After "Basic Instinct" held its international premiere at Cannes, it sparked a full discussion;
Now, the North American box office of "Basic Instinct" has exceeded 80 million US dollars, and breaking 100 million is a certainty.
One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one!
""Four Weddings and a Funeral" is estimated to start filming in London in two months. Are you going directly to England from France at that time?"
After Sophie Marceau goes to Cannes, she will definitely return to Paris for a period of time.
"It depends. If necessary, I will still go back to the United States!"
Sophie Marceau said, her fingers stroking Aaron's chest, smiling and feeling the man's chest and abdominal muscles.
"What a great figure, no wonder you can attract women so much?"
Immediately, she couldn't help but kiss the man's chest!
"Well, it's nothing. Anyway, I will go to London at that time."
Before long, Sophie Marceau squatted down...
With the arrival of mid-May, "Indecent Proposal", developed by Dawnlight Pictures, began its public release, and Warner Bros.' sequel film "Lethal Weapon 3" was also released on the same day!
"Lethal Weapon 3" was grandly released in 2,510 theaters in North America, with a box office of 33 million US dollars in the first weekend;
"Indecent Proposal" was released in 1,720 theaters in North America, with a box office of 19 million US dollars in the first weekend!
Whether it is "Lethal Weapon 3" or "Indecent Proposal", they have good popularity and have opened a good start for the hot summer season.
However, although the discussion about "Indecent Proposal" is not low, the word-of-mouth is mixed.
"Chicago Sun-Times": "This "Indecent Proposal" cleverly uses romantic scenes to cover up its essentially vulgar theme!"
"The Hollywood Reporter": "Although the movie's setting is absurd and the script is terrible, the director still created the kind of sexy pop fable he is good at."
In addition to these positive reviews, "Variety" and "The New York Times" gave bad reviews:
"The most annoying thing about the movie is that it lost its dirt and vulgarity."
""Indecent Proposal" starts out weird, then turns into a dull - and shockingly mediocre - family soap opera!"
I wish you all a happy New Year's Day, a new atmosphere in the new year, and a great fortune every day!
