Hollywood starts with a broker

Burbank, Dawn Pictures.

Dawn Steel and Aaron watched several film clips in the conference room, showing a middle-aged man performing slapstick with bizarre expressions!

"This guy is called Jim Carrey. He used to perform in comedy clubs, and then entered the film industry, playing many roles, but all supporting roles;"

"His facial expressions are very diverse, his physical movements are exaggerated, and he is good at imitation. He is a talent."

Aaron said, taking out a script, "This is a comedy script adapted by director Tom Shadyac and Jim Carrey, 'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective';"

"The plot tells the story of pet detective Ace Ventura being hired to find a missing dolphin, but falling into a conspiracy. Ventura uses a trick to catch the criminal in the end;"

"It's a low-budget, nonsensical comedy, worth developing!"

Dawn Steel just casually flipped through the script, not having much of an opinion, "The director and the leading actor are not very famous, and there are no big scenes in the plot, so the budget is very low."

Aaron nodded, "Indeed, it's not high, 12 million US dollars. I am very optimistic about Jim Carrey;"

"Sign him for a three-movie contract. I have already had people acquire the film adaptation rights to 'The Mask' from Dark Horse Comics, and I plan to have him star in it as well;"

"However, the comics are quite dark and violent, and need to be adapted into a comedy style!"

Signing a newcomer actor for a three-movie contract at once is a common practice for many film companies to prevent salary issues after the actor becomes popular.

Of course, it is also because the film company has confidence in the actor.

"By the way, how is the preparation for 'Forrest Gump' going?"

Aaron is more concerned about this film, after all, it can make a lot of money.

"'Forrest Gump' will start shooting in May. Director Robert Zemeckis and lead actor Tom Hanks are fine and satisfied with the adaptation of the script;"

"Now it is director Edward Zwick's new film 'Legends of the Fall' that is not progressing quickly, and the script still needs time to be revised!"

Director Edward Zwick has at least made 'Ghost,' and the cooperation with Dawn is quite pleasant.

Since the other party wants to develop 'Legends of the Fall,' Dawn is fully supporting it.

"Alright, the adaptation of Anne Rice's 'Interview with the Vampire' should also be followed up!"

However, the 'Interview with the Vampire' project is being handled by David Geffen, so there shouldn't be any major problems;

Whether it is Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt, David Geffen can handle it.

With the arrival of mid-January, the 50th Golden Globe Awards opened!

But Aaron left Los Angeles and came to New York to visit Les Wexner, the boss of Limited Brands Group;

Sure enough, Charles Jensen's statement was correct, Les Wexner attaches great importance to the Victoria's Secret brand.

In a villa in East Hampton, Long Island, Aaron leaned back in the warm bathtub and put down his phone, he had just been on the phone with Charles Jensen of Franklin Templeton Funds.

"Phew," Aaron exhaled in the bathtub.

Sophie Marceau in the water raised her head and leaned into Aaron's arms, "Why, aren't you going to attend the Golden Globes?"

Aaron smiled, stroking Sophie Marceau a few times, "I don't need to attend, Dawn is bound to win a great victory!"

Sophie Marceau nodded, "Yes, 'Schindler's List' won the Best Director, Best Motion Picture – Drama, and Best Screenplay awards;"

"'Scent of a Woman' allowed Al Pacino to win the Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama!"

Aaron doesn't care much about the Golden Globes, "Well, tomorrow I'm going to Washington, D.C. to attend the President's Inauguration;"

"Do you want to come with me?"

Sophie Marceau shook her head, leaning on Aaron's shoulder, "You know, I hate attending these political events the most!"

Aaron blinked, "Okay, are you going back to Los Angeles, or staying in New York?"

"We'll see, recently my agent has gotten me two scripts, and I need to meet with the directors and producers in New York;"

"When the time comes, the main filming locations will be Canada and New York!"

Sophie Marceau explained.

Aaron rubbed the girl's body, "You don't have to rush so much. Your starring role in 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' will be fully released in April;"

"You can wait until the movie is released before considering the scripts. The scripts you are getting now probably won't be very good?"

Sophie Marceau sighed, "About the same, one is a romance script and the other is a thriller. My main responsibility is still to be beautiful!"

Aaron laughed. It seems that the scripts Sophie Marceau is currently receiving are still mainly vase roles, and the investment is definitely not too much.

"Director Edward Zwick is preparing a new film adapted from a novel. You can play the heroine then;"

"The heroine may not have many scenes, but the movie shouldn't be bad."

Aaron thought for a while and felt that Sophie Marceau could give it a try!

"Edward Zwick?"

Sophie Marceau quickly thought of it, "The director of 'Ghost,' right?"

"Yes, it's him," Aaron nodded.

"What type of project is it?"

"Oh, the script is adapted from the novel of the same name, 'Legends of the Fall';"

"The story tells the story of a U.S. Army colonel who, disgusted with war, takes his three sons to live on the vast western prairie. The lives of the father and sons on the prairie change with the arrival of the third son's fiancée;"

"The script is based on a tragic love story, and deeply touches on family affection, friendship beyond race, respect for nature, and the pursuit of nature!"

"The novel shows a magnificent picture of the American West in the early 20th century, running through the exploration and thinking of nature and ecology."

As Aaron explained, Sophie Marceau in his arms listened with brighter and brighter eyes, "Aaron, this story feels very good, it sounds very magnificent!"

Aaron shrugged, "It's okay, anyway, Edward Zwick is still revising the script;"

"When the movie is officially in preparation, you can go and chat with Edward Zwick about the script."

The next day, when Aaron was preparing to fly to Washington, D.C. in advance, he suddenly received a familiar phone call!

"Christiana, are you already at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York?"

Aaron couldn't believe it. It turned out that Christiana Yeri had flown over from France silently.

"I'll have someone pick you up right away!"

Just right, Aaron originally planned to take Sophie Marceau to Washington, D.C. together, but she wasn't interested;

Now that Christiana Yeri is here, he can take her directly...
