Hollywood starts with a broker

In August, Aaron also returned to Los Angeles from New York, with another signed artist, Jennifer Connelly, while Nicole Kidman went to the set to film "Wild at Heart"!

The fiercely competitive summer season saw the emergence of high-grossing films such as "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," "Dead Poets Society," "Ghostbusters II," "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids," "Batman," and "Lethal Weapon 2."

However, in the July lineup, a low-budget romantic comedy distributed by Columbia, "When Harry Met Sally..." broke out.

When it was first released in mid-July, this romantic comedy, with no big-name stars, naturally couldn't compete with other blockbusters or sequels, and its opening scale was small, only showing in 41 theaters.

But as word-of-mouth spread, now, four weeks after the release of "When Harry Met Sally...", the number of theaters has increased to 1,200, and the North American box office has exceeded 35 million US dollars, and is still rising!

And Meg Ryan, the female lead in "When Harry Met Sally...", after struggling in Hollywood for several years, her blonde-haired, blue-eyed Hollywood sweetheart image quickly became familiar to audiences thanks to this movie.

The premiere of "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" was held at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, and Miramax invited many stars to attend!

Aaron also drove his Lotus with Jennifer Connelly to attend the event.

"I haven't seen this movie yet," Jennifer Connelly said, dressed sexily and holding Aaron's arm, seemingly curious about the movie.

"It's a very artistic movie, after all, it won the Palme d'Or and Best Actor awards at Cannes;"

"Some stars have come, it seems that Miramax has put some thought into it."

Aaron also understood that Miramax was expanding its visibility and wanted to establish its position in independent films.

"That's Meryl Streep!"

Jennifer Connelly spotted her favorite actress.

After entering the theater, Aaron introduced Jennifer Connelly to Steven Soderbergh and others.

"A new talent you just signed?" Steven Soderbergh asked.

"Yes, but she's still going to Stanford University to continue her studies!"

"Doesn't that mean you didn't sign her?"

"It's okay, I don't have any resources on hand anyway, we'll take it slow."

Backstage, Aaron ran into Harvey Weinstein, "Congratulations, Miramax has acquired several works at a low price this year."

Harvey Weinstein looked at Aaron, "You're the impressive one, in just half a year, you've already handled three films;"

"Are you interested in becoming a film buyer at Miramax?"

Aaron smiled, "Miramax, when did you need a film buyer?"

Isn't the fat man in front of him responsible for Miramax's film distribution now?

"What a pity," Harvey Weinstein said, shaking his head, "CAA is ultimately just an intermediary, working directly for a distribution company can better reflect your abilities!"

Aaron listened and looked at the fat man Harvey in front of him again, "To date, I have handled three films, one script, and signed four new talents;"

"It's only August now, and who knows, I may have new achievements, according to CAA's performance rules, my income this year is likely to reach 1 million US dollars;"

"This is only my second year joining CAA!"

Harvey Weinstein was stunned for a few moments, then grinned and smiled, only patting Aaron Anderson's shoulder.

In its opening week, Miramax arranged for "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" to be shown in 28 theaters, with an opening score of 600,000 US dollars, and a single-theater score of over 20,000 US dollars.

In the second week, the number of theaters increased to 40, and in the third week, it increased to 102!

With good word-of-mouth, "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" grossed 3.8 million US dollars in three weeks, and according to the evaluation agency's estimates, the final box office of this film will definitely be over 20 million US dollars.

Steven Soderbergh achieved fame and success, and Miramax also gained both fame and fortune, having only spent 1.2 million US dollars to purchase the screening rights at the Sundance Film Festival.

And the marketing cost of "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" was nothing more than some expenses at the Cannes Film Festival, proving Harvey Weinstein's accurate vision.

However, at this time, Aaron Anderson followed Jennifer Connelly to Palo Alto in the southern Bay Area of California.

This is where Stanford University is located, because Jennifer Connelly is about to start school.

"Is this Stanford?"

There was nothing Aaron could do, the soul in his bones was curious about the famous Stanford University, even though the Los Angeles area also has top private universities such as Caltech and USC.

But, who made Harvard University and Stanford University so famous?

"Yes, the centennial celebration of Stanford University is in two years," Jennifer Connelly acted as a guide and took Aaron around the campus.

"Stanford University was founded by Leland Stanford and his wife to commemorate their only son, Leland Stanford Jr., who died of typhoid fever;"

"It has developed into a top international institution and is worthy of everyone's remembrance!"

Aaron curled his lips and looked at Jennifer Connelly on the side, "Don't think I don't know anything;"

No mistake a first a first a content a in a a look!

"Leland Stanford was also the president of the Central Pacific Railroad Company, one of the ten major tycoons of the American Gilded Age, and the first governor of California;"

"A terrifying and bloody capitalist, under every sleeper of the transcontinental railway he vigorously built, lies the body of a Chinese laborer!"

Stanford University is just a microcosm of American development, burying countless bones, full of blood and cruelty.

Jennifer Connelly shrugged, "Have you ever thought about continuing your studies? With your current situation, entering university is not difficult!"

Aaron shook his head and casually pointed to some college students nearby, "Tell me, how many of these guys who are about to graduate can directly earn an annual income of one million US dollars?"

"I graduated from high school last year, and I'll have about that income this year, and I'm confident that my income will continue to grow next year;"

"Do you think I should waste my time? By then, these graduates from prestigious schools will try to enter my company by any means possible!"

Jennifer Connelly nodded, agreeing with Aaron Anderson's idea. The average salary in the United States is only 400 US dollars per week.

An annual income of one million US dollars is indeed a very remarkable achievement.

"Alright, study acting hard, I'll help you pay attention to roles, and if there's a suitable one, I'll notify you directly;"

"Don't take on controversial scripts like 'Cool World', Hollywood never lacks beautiful women with good figures!"

Aaron was just curious to see the legendary Stanford University. Now he still has a script by Quentin Tarantino, "Natural Born Killers," waiting to be promoted.

"I know, shall we go to a nearby bar for something to eat now?" Jennifer Connelly suggested.

"Let's go!"
