Hollywood starts with a broker

With "Jurassic Park" opening with record-breaking weekend ticket sales in North America, it has been advancing triumphantly, accumulating $120 million in just two weeks!

"Jurassic Park" has, of course, received a lot of good reviews:

The New York Times: ""Jurassic Park" is a true cinematic milestone, presenting awe-inspiring and terrifying scenes never before seen in film history."

The Philadelphia Inquirer: "The earth-shattering footsteps of the dinosaurs in the movie "Jurassic Park" are both vivid and terrifying. Director Spielberg's dinosaur special effects team has created a Mesozoic zoo whose authenticity surpasses any work in film history."

However, amidst a series of good reviews, there are also some negative comments:

The Globe and Mail (Canada): "The movie "Jurassic Park" has some thrills, some horror, and some shocks, but it has no poetry, no sense of wonder, no lines that resonate with the audience, and no artistry."

The Times: "The human characters in "Jurassic Park" are too easily forgotten, completely insignificant;"

Chicago Sun-Times: "This film lacks other more important qualities, such as a sense of awe and wonder, as well as sufficient humanity and story value!"

But, no matter what, this "Jurassic Park" is epoch-making;

The visual presentation of "Jurassic Park" has made it a milestone in film visual effects, directly leading to the breakthrough use of computer-generated imagery in film production!

Dawn Films' "The Mask of Zorro" has been released for a month, and its North American box office has exceeded $80 million.

It has also been released successively in overseas markets, and has currently exceeded $50 million...

Los Angeles, the 19th Saturn Awards are held. As an award event established by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy \u0026 Horror Films, specifically for science fiction, fantasy, and horror films, Aaron doesn't pay much attention to it.

However, this year "Bram Stoker's Dracula" won several awards, including Best Horror Film, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Costume Design.

As the producer of "Bram Stoker's Dracula", Aaron specifically followed director Francis Ford Coppola to attend this year's Saturn Awards.

In fact, Twilight Pictures, under Dawn Films, specializes in developing horror and gory B-movies.

"Peter Jackson, "Braindead"!"

The awards ceremony was held in Burbank, and Aaron seemed to have discovered an "acquaintance" at the scene, 32-year-old New Zealand director Peter Jackson.

A low-budget, bloody, violent, and absurd horror film, "Braindead", allowed Peter Jackson to enter Hollywood.

This is the director of "The Lord of the Rings" series! Aaron quickly thought of Tolkien's epic fantasy masterpiece, "The Lord of the Rings" series of novels!

Soon, Aaron made a call to Aislinn Beckett, asking her to investigate the adaptation rights of Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" series of novels.

Dawn acquired the film adaptation rights to the comic book character Spider-Man from Marvel last year, so it's normal to have another "The Lord of the Rings" series.

"What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Winona Ryder walked over to Aaron and clinked glasses with him in the ballroom of the Chateau Marmont Hotel in West Hollywood.

"Oh, it's nothing," Aaron smiled. "You almost won the Saturn Award for Best Actress."

Winona Ryder herself was nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Actress for "Bram Stoker's Dracula" but lost to Virginia Madsen, the sexy actress in "Candyman"!

"By the way, when will Martin Scorsese's "The Age of Innocence" be released?"

Winona Ryder shrugged. "The August schedule."

The male and female leads in "The Age of Innocence" are Daniel Day-Lewis and Michelle Pfeiffer, respectively, and Winona Ryder is a supporting actress in it.

And the upcoming "Little Women", although it's an ensemble cast, Winona Ryder is the female lead in the movie!

Winona Ryder looked at Aaron. "Dawn has been making a splash at the Oscars. The two movies released this summer, "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "The Mask of Zorro", are also performing amazingly;"

"It seems that there is also an action movie, "Speed", to be released in July, starring Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connelly."

Both of the main actors have worked with Winona Ryder. She acted opposite Keanu Reeves in "Bram Stoker's Dracula";

Jennifer Connelly also has a role in "Reality Bites", which was released in the spring!

"Soon, in the middle of next month. I'm also looking forward to this "Speed"," Aaron actually also has ideas about "The Mask of Zorro", because Kevin Costner is too popular now;

"The Bodyguard", which was critically panned, can still gross over $400 million worldwide.

South Bay, San Francisco, Palo Alto.

Aaron came from Los Angeles specifically to attend Jennifer Connelly's graduation ceremony at Stanford University.

"Darling, congratulations on graduating!"

Outside Stanford University, Jennifer Connelly, who had just attended the graduation ceremony, was still wearing her graduation gown.

"Yeah, thank you!" Jennifer Connelly excitedly hugged Aaron and started kissing him passionately.

After the kiss ended, the two got into the car, and Aaron couldn't help but praise, "This bachelor's gown is quite beautiful!"

Jennifer Connelly smiled, "Isn't it the same as other schools?"

Aaron blinked, "I guess this one is from Stanford University!"

One mistake, one first, one release, one inside, one content, one at, one look!

Can Stanford University be the same as ordinary universities? Clothes are not important, what is important is the school.

"Aaron, do you want to feel it and try on the university graduation gown?"

Jennifer Connelly suddenly suggested.

Aaron was stunned for a moment, "It's meaningless, right? Even if I want to get into Harvard, Princeton, or Yale now, it's not difficult!"

Saying that, Aaron stroked Jennifer Connelly's thigh, "Besides, there is no shortage of graduates from prestigious schools working at Dawn Films now."

"I know you're amazing!"

Jennifer Connelly leaned over and kissed Aaron on the face again, ""Speed" is about to be released, and I have to participate in publicity activities;"

"I have to return to Los Angeles tomorrow. Do you have anything to do next?"

Aaron hugged the girl, "I might have to go to Canada. A co-produced Chinese film will be filmed on location in Vancouver. I want to go take a look!"

Of course, Aaron just wanted to see Joey Wang, and the investment scale of "Rumble in the Bronx" is not worth Aaron's personal attention.

Jennifer Connelly's breathing quickened, "Then let's go back to the hotel and party!"

"Yeah, you wear this graduation gown..."
