Hollywood starts with a broker

"Interview with the Vampire," Aaron indeed intended to invite Tom Cruise to star in it. He really didn't expect Castle Rock Entertainment to consider inviting him to join "The Shawshank Redemption"?

This book is first published on the entire network by 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

Moreover, Brad Pitt has just finished filming the biographical film "A River Runs Through It" directed by Robert Redford. When the time comes, a collaboration between Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt would be highly anticipated, wouldn't it?

"If you really plan to develop 'Interview with the Vampire,' I think Tom would definitely be interested in working with you!"

Faced with Aaron Anderson's invitation, Paula Wagner certainly wouldn't refuse casually.

Not to mention Aaron Anderson's vision, Tom Cruise now hopes to receive some breakthrough roles.

The vampire in "Interview with the Vampire" is very challenging.

"However, Aaron, how much budget are you prepared to invest in the film?"

Aaron knew that to entice Tom Cruise to star in it, the film's investment couldn't be low, after all, it's a drama.

"The budget for the upcoming 'The Mask of Zorro' is $60 million. With Tom Cruise in 'Interview with the Vampire,' it will be about that amount!"

Hearing Aaron's thoughts, Paula Wagner nodded, "Don't worry, I'll have Tom read the novel carefully first. I believe he's also very eager to work with you…"

Following "Ghost," Dawn Pictures has launched another romance film with great critical acclaim and box office success.

Nicole Kidman's title as the queen of romance has been further cemented, and newcomer director Nora Ephron achieved such success with her first film as a director after being a screenwriter.

"I never thought that I, who has always been in comedies, would receive a role in 'Philadelphia'?"

Tom Hanks said, raising his glass to Aaron.

Aaron smiled, "Jonathan and I both believe that you are very versatile and can play not only comedies but also dramas."

"Actually, I have another novel in hand that I also plan to adapt. I also intend for you to play the male lead!"

Tom Hanks was taken aback, "It wouldn't be 'Interview with the Vampire,' would it?"

Aaron shook his head, "No, it's a relatively unpopular novel called 'Forrest Gump,' about a Southern boy with low intelligence but a kind heart growing up."

"A series of major American events happened during his growth!"

Saying that, Aaron looked at Tom Hanks and suggested, "Perhaps, you can read the novel first."

"Okay, I will read it. Aaron Anderson's vision can't be wrong."

At night, Santa Monica, a villa in Pacific Palisades.

In the bedroom, Nicole Kidman lay on Aaron, unable to hide her excitement, "I'm almost becoming the queen of romance films!"

Feeling the girl's smooth and white body, Aaron smiled, "Well, how is it? Is this feeling of being sought after by everyone different now?"

"Yes, I've transformed from an ugly duckling in Australia into a white swan in Hollywood!"

Nicole Kidman said, kissing the man hard, "It's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I'd probably still be enduring those unspoken rules for an audition."

"Who would have thought that two years ago, I was just an Australian newcomer entering Hollywood?"

After two consecutive hit products, "Ghost" and "Sleepless in Seattle," Nicole Kidman is already one of the leading new actresses!

"Alright, don't be complacent. New actors are emerging very quickly now, such as Julia Roberts and Demi Moore."

Nicole Kidman smiled, "As long as you have projects for me, I'm not worried about any problems!"

Demi Moore's "Indecent Proposal" is also a Dawn Pictures production, isn't it?

"By the way, New Zealand director Jane Campion's new film 'The Piano' has started filming over there."

"This, I know!"

Previously, Aaron had indeed invested in Jane Campion's "The Piano" through the newly established Crescent Moon Pictures.

Moreover, foreign films such as "The Lover" and "The Crying Game," which are about to be released, are also being operated under the Crescent Moon Pictures brand!

With the arrival of August, Dawn and Samsung's collaborative blockbuster "The Mask of Zorro" is about to begin filming.

In addition to filming in California, many location shots will also be filmed in Spain.

Dawn Pictures suddenly welcomed a heavyweight guest, the wealthy David Geffen!

Two years ago, David Geffen sold his Geffen Records to MCA for $550 million, exchanging it for some MCA shares, earning a lot when Matsushita acquired MCA.

"Oh, 'Interview with the Vampire'? Mr. Geffen is also interested in this novel!"

David Geffen, like Jeffrey Katzenberg, is a bald Jew with a shiny head.

"I heard about it from Tom, so I also read this novel and felt it was pretty good. Geffen Pictures wants to participate and invest some funds!"

No one is wrong, one head, one hair, one content, one is here, one look, one look!

David Geffen and Tom Cruise are quite familiar. Early on, he invested in several of Tom Cruise's works.

After obtaining the novel "Interview with the Vampire" from Paula Wagner, Tom Cruise casually mentioned it to David Geffen.

Aaron smiled, "Of course, since Geffen Pictures is interested, let Dawn Pictures and Geffen Pictures jointly fund the production."

"The budget is $60 million. Geffen Pictures, as an investor, co-produces, and Dawn distributes, collecting a 15% distribution commission!"

David Geffen nodded, "Geffen Pictures can invest $30 million."

Aaron shook hands with the other party. David Geffen's name is well-known in Hollywood.

There's no problem with Dawn Pictures jointly developing "Interview with the Vampire" with Geffen Pictures!

Besides, Aaron isn't someone who likes to take everything for himself. He always has to give up some benefits to others.

"By the way, besides Tom Cruise, what are your thoughts on the other lead?"

David Geffen likes men and has always paid attention to some male stars in Hollywood.

Aaron smiled, "How about that thief from 'Thelma \u0026 Louise'?"

David Geffen's eyes lit up, "Oh, you're talking about Brad Pitt!"

Aaron nodded subtly. It was obvious that Brad Pitt had also caught his eye.

"Yes, he also starred in Robert Redford's new film 'A River Runs Through It' this year."

"Moreover, as you know, Brad Pitt's appearance and figure are not inferior to Tom Cruise."

"His appearance in 'Thelma \u0026 Louise' was a highlight for everyone!"
