After Aaron met with Quentin Tarantino and director Tony Scott, he sold the script for "True Romance" to the other party for $65,000;

However, when Tony Scott would adapt it was unknown.

Because now, Tony Scott and Tom Cruise are going to collaborate on a racing action blockbuster "Days of Thunder"!

"The producers are Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, the director is Tony Scott, the male lead is Tom Cruise, and the production and distribution company is Paramount."

Aaron Anderson looked at the information for "Days of Thunder". Isn't this just trying to replicate "Top Gun" from a few years ago?

Paula Wagner nodded, "It's the original team from "Top Gun", and Paramount has also given a shooting budget of $60 million!"

"$60 million," Aaron clicked his tongue.

You know, Carolco Pictures is currently filming the science fiction action blockbuster "Total Recall" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, which has a cost of $65 million;

Exceeding Sylvester Stallone's previous work "Rambo III"'s $63 million cost, it is currently the most expensive movie.

Tom Cruise definitely has a gap compared to Stallone and Schwarzenegger now. A budget of $60 million is definitely a top production!

Paula Wagner smiled, "Recently, Carolco spent $5 million to buy the sequel filming rights to "Terminator" from Hemdale Film Corporation;"

"Preparing to let James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger collaborate on "Terminator 2", the budget is even a sky-high price."

The copyright of "Terminator" was originally sold by James Cameron to Gale Anne Hurd's production company, Pacific Western Productions, for $1 in exchange for his own direction;

Gale Anne Hurd then exchanged half of the copyright from Hemdale Film Corporation for filming funds. After filming, she also became James Cameron's wife!

During "Terminator 1", Hemdale also found Orion Pictures to co-distribute it. Now, the budget for "Terminator 2" is definitely not something a small film company like Hemdale can afford;

Therefore, Hemdale Film Corporation sold half of its copyright to Carolco Pictures, and Cameron's ex-wife, Gale Anne Hurd, joined forces with Carolco to develop it.

"Carolco Pictures," Aaron smiled, "has been very famous recently. They are very generous in making movies, and a lot of funds come from Europe. The two founders have a close relationship in Europe."

Just look at "Total Recall", they poached Paul Verhoeven, the director of "RoboCop" from Orion Pictures, to direct it.

"It's just that this company only invests in and produces movies, and doesn't participate in distribution. It's a bit interesting!"

Aaron didn't quite understand. After all, most small distributors now focus on film distribution, but they only play with low-cost works.

Paula Wagner glanced at Aaron, "Carolco is all about commercial blockbusters. If investment and distribution come together, the expenses would be too high."

"That's true," Aaron nodded. After all, Carolco's size is not comparable to the Big Six, and they don't only have one work a year.

"I heard that the female lead for "Days of Thunder" will be a newcomer, right?"

Aaron seemed to remember that if it weren't for himself, Nicole Kidman would have met Tom Cruise because of this movie and then got married.

It's just that now Nicole Kidman is his woman, and he doesn't know if she still has a chance to be the female lead in a Tom Cruise movie?

Paula Wagner smiled, "For this, you have to pay attention to the crew, the producer, director, and other aspects of the film."

Aaron smiled slightly. Isn't this kind of movie decided by Tom Cruise on how to shoot it and who to use?

"However, the actress in your hand seems a bit tall," Paula Wagner reminded.

Paula Wagner had of course seen Nicole Kidman. After all, Aaron Anderson was the most outstanding young agent in her line;

Aaron Anderson had taken Nicole Kidman to several banquets and events, of course introducing Nicole to Paula Wagner.

"Your subordinates are all newcomers, you should find some low-cost projects to try!"

Paula Wagner's meaning was obvious. For this kind of blockbuster with high attention, the competition is too great, and it is not so easy to get a role.

"Don't worry, I understand..."

At the same time, the sequel blockbuster "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", produced by Lucasfilm, directed by Steven Spielberg, and distributed by Paramount, began its premiere, grossing $29.5 million in its opening weekend!

When the time came to June, Aaron first helped Adam Sandler return to the "Saturday Night Live" program group;

Then, he helped Nicole Kidman receive an independent film script.

""Wild at Heart", directed by David Lynch!"

In the apartment in West Hollywood, Nicole Kidman lay on the bed, flipping through the script in her hand.

"Well, David Lynch is a representative figure in independent films, focusing on dark and surreal styles, lacking commerciality, but has a lot of prestige among film critics."

Aaron supported his head and lay beside Nicole Kidman, "He previously directed the surrealist works "The Elephant Man" and "Blue Velvet", which have good reputations;"

"The male lead is the newcomer Nicolas Cage. This guy's background is not simple. His original name was Nicolas Coppola, he changed his surname himself;"

"Francis Coppola is his uncle!"

"I believe in your vision," Nicole Kidman leaned into Aaron's arms and kissed him, and asked suspiciously: "Don't you like to pay attention to commercial movies?"

No mistake, a first release, an inner content, all in one look!

"Wild at Heart" is a black humor crime drama. Although it is a normal work by David Lynch, the investment is not high and there are no big-name stars. The commerciality is definitely not very good!

Aaron smiled, hugged the sexy and beautiful Nicole Kidman in his arms and kissed her for a while, "Now Tony Scott and Tom Cruise are going to collaborate on a racing action blockbuster "Days of Thunder";"

"The investment is $60 million, and the female lead inside needs a pretty vase. I originally planned to let you try it, but unfortunately, the competition is too big."

"Tom Cruise?"

Nicole Kidman also shook her head, "His height is similar to that of Mr. Al Pacino. It is estimated that it will be difficult to cooperate with me!"

Previously, when auditioning for "Pretty Woman", Nicole Kidman intuitively felt this kind of trouble.

"That's not necessarily true. If you can fascinate Tom Cruise by then, wouldn't the female lead be designated by him at will."

The selling point of "Days of Thunder" is Tom Cruise. Who in the crew would not listen to him?

"There are so many beauties in Hollywood, why would Tom Cruise take a fancy to me?"

Nicole Kidman said, pointing to the script on the bed, "This one is not bad."

"Yeah," Aaron said, then turned over and pressed on Nicole, kissing her red lips!
