Hollywood starts with a broker

Tom Cruise deliberately stayed behind, probably to sound out Aaron's opinion of director Neil Jordan;

Tom Cruise is always reluctant to work with such unknown directors.

Subsequently, Aaron thought of the drama "The Shawshank Redemption" invested by Castle Rock Entertainment. The new director Frank Darabont was also looked down upon by Tom Cruise!

Now, Frank Darabont has found Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman to star in it.

In the evening, Aaron took Salma Hayek to a banquet at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood. The two had not seen each other for some time since filming "The Mask of Zorro."

"Aaron, I received an invitation to 'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective'. This role has quite a few scenes."

Salma Hayek was of course excited. Starring in "Sleepless in Seattle" allowed her to join the Screen Actors Guild;

Then she got a role in "The Mask of Zorro", and now she has gotten an important role in "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective."

Aaron touched Salma Hayek's face, "I said I would help you, do you believe it now?"

"Yes, I believed it all along!"

Salma Hayek hugged the man and rubbed him affectionately, "You haven't come to see me for a long time. When I was filming 'The Mask of Zorro' in Mexico, I was even planning to take you there for a vacation!"

"Didn't I come looking for you?" Aaron said, lowering his head to kiss the girl in his arms.

Owning a 3... Hayek is on the same level as Monica Bellucci!

Salma Hayek leaned close to the man's ear and breathed out, "Aaron, let's go to my place later?"

Aaron nodded, "Anyway, there's nothing important, we can leave early."

Tonight's banquet was for News Corporation to appoint Peter Chernin, the new chairman of Fox Entertainment Group, to replace Barry Diller, who resigned last year;

Peter Chernin will then be in charge of 20th Century Fox Film Group and FOX (Fox Broadcasting Company)!

After leaving the Chateau Marmont, Aaron saw Salma Hayek's roadster, "Hey, you're still driving this car?"

Salma Hayek smiled, "You gave me this car, and besides, it's originally a luxury car;"

"It wasn't broken at all at the time, it just rushed into the grass!"

Back then, Aaron almost hit Salma Hayek with this car on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood.

"If it weren't for this car, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet the famous Aaron Anderson."

Salma Hayek cherishes this car, but more than that, she cherishes this relationship with Aaron Anderson.

"Alright, let's go..."

New York, Bryant Park in Manhattan.

New York Fashion Week kicks off, and starting this year, the Council of Fashion Designers of America will hold all fashion shows in several white tents set up in Bryant Park!

"It's good to be concentrated together," Aaron and Charles Johnson of the Franklin Templeton Foundation were still discussing the Victoria's Secret lingerie brand under the Limited Brands Group.

"Les Wexner is indeed wavering, but he's asking for a high price!"

Charles Johnson reminded.

"How much does he want?"

"1.5 billion dollars."

"Impossible, my psychological price for Victoria's Secret is about 1.2 billion dollars," Aaron shook his head,

"All we want is Victoria's Secret, not his Limited Brands Group?"

Charles Johnson smiled, "1.2 billion, this price is very reasonable, it should be negotiable!"

Afterwards, Aaron and Christiana Yeri returned to Dawn Pictures' office in Midtown Manhattan, West Village, New York.

"Is this a yacht?"

Aaron nodded, "That's right, this is the yacht data that was sent over. I placed the order at a shipyard in Italy."

"116 feet long, it seems very big."

Christiana Yeri sat on Aaron's lap, "The life of the rich is so good!"

Aaron smiled, "I also ordered a private jet, a Gulfstream IV, all for future travel convenience."

With Aaron's current status, he should have had these things long ago!

In the evening, Aaron suddenly received a call from Winona Ryder.

West Village, High Line Park apartment, Aaron took Winona Ryder here!

"What's wrong? Your current state is a bit worrying?"

Helping Winona Ryder to sit down, Aaron made her a cup of coffee.

Winona Ryder took the coffee, "Is there anything wrong?"

Aaron shook his head, just lit a cigarette for himself, "It's late February now, and that 'Reality Bites' will be released next month;"

"You should be quite busy now, right?"

Promoting "Interview with the Vampire", filming "The Age of Innocence", and also taking care of this "Reality Bites"!

"It's okay, it's good to have more work, so as not to overthink."

Winona Ryder drank her coffee, looking a little listless.

It's still because her relationship with Johnny Depp is being hyped too much by the media!

Aaron sat down next to Winona Ryder, carefully looking at her, "Is there anything wrong with your body?"

"Just a little insomnia!"

Winona Ryder put down her coffee, "The test screening reviews for 'Reality Bites' are pretty good, I think it's a good movie."

Aaron smiled, "How much did 'Reality Bites' cost?"

"Dawn now has several big movies with a 60 million dollar investment. Even if there are some losses, it's within the range!"

After all, his Dawn is different from other independent film companies. Most of them lose money, and only a few can make a profit;

Dawn is the opposite. One profitable blockbuster is enough for their total box office revenue for a year's worth of releases.

Winona Ryder stood up, "Forget it, I'll go take a shower first!"

Aaron smiled and turned on the TV, which was broadcasting an emergency news report:

This morning, a bombing attack occurred in the underground parking garage of the World Trade Center twin towers in Lower Manhattan, New York, USA, killing 6 people and injuring more than 1,000!

Aaron was stunned, the World Trade Center? Isn't this where the planes crashed on September 11, 2001 in the future?

It's only 1993 now, and there's a bombing attack, what does this mean?

Is the World Trade Center so dangerous?

Suddenly, Aaron felt a sense of fear about the World Trade Center. It seems that he really can't go to the World Trade Center in the future!

Bombing attacks happen all the time, plus the famous 911 incident in the future, you can't go anywhere near the World Trade Center.

Immediately, Aaron took off his clothes and plunged into the bathroom.

Winona Ryder glanced at him, "Why are you here?"

"I want to take a shower with you..."
