Hollywood starts with a broker

"It's a Chinese movie, are you interested?" Catherine Zeta-Jones, with her arm around Aaron's shoulder, asked.

"Let's go see this movie!"

Aaron recognized the actress Joey Wang on the poster at first glance; she was indeed stunningly beautiful.

Aaron really didn't expect to encounter the crew of *A Chinese Ghost Story III* at the Sitges Film Festival in Spain.

The International Fantastic Film Festival does have some specific targets; after all, the export performance of Hong Kong films is second only to Hollywood.

Because Barcelona hosted the 25th Summer Olympics this year, it attracted many tourists!

More people than usual came to the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival this year!

In the cinema, Aaron and Catherine Zeta-Jones enjoyed *A Chinese Ghost Story III* together.

Currently, it is the peak period of Hong Kong films, with more than 200 films being released each year. A city with a population of just over 5 million can become the second-largest film exporter in the world, which is enough to show how powerful Hong Kong films are!

Catherine Zeta-Jones, who played the lead actress in *The Mask of Zorro*, previously starred in *Christopher Columbus: The Discovery*, which only grossed $8 million.

And the co-production *1492: Conquest of Paradise*, directed by Ridley Scott, was even more of a failure, with a box office of only $7 million.

In the office on the set of *The Mask of Zorro*, Aaron and director Ridley Scott were discussing the progress of the film!

"Based on the current situation, we need to go to Mexico to shoot the remaining scenes."

Ridley Scott took a sip of coffee, "There are shooting locations near Mexico City that we need."

Aaron nodded. Since the scenery in Spain was finished, going to Mexico to continue shooting was also a good idea!

In the evening, Aaron drove Salma Hayek to a bar in Barcelona to relax.

"How is it, is filming in the crew okay?"

Aaron put his arms around the sexy Salma Hayek and asked softly.

"Yes, it feels great. There are many Hispanics and Latinos in *The Mask of Zorro*, and the atmosphere is very friendly!"

Salma Hayek said, kissing Aaron on the face, "You haven't looked for me for a long time. I had a role in *Sleepless in Seattle* before and have joined the Screen Actors Guild;"

"All of this is thanks to you. Don't you want me to thank you properly?"

"Mmm," Aaron kissed the girl, feeling her 36D.

After a while, Aaron hugged Salma Hayek and sat on the sofa, "It is said that Latin American girls are full of charm, and it is true!"

Salma Hayek smiled, "Do you like Spanish girls? Penélope Cruz, who made a stunning appearance in *Jamón, Jamón* this year, should be sexy enough!"

"Penélope Cruz? Hmm, I met her at the Venice Film Festival before. She is indeed a top Spanish beauty."

"Well, this year she also starred in a Spanish romance film, *Belle Époque*, which will be released in Spain next month!"

As a Mexican Latina, Salma Hayek has always paid close attention to Spanish news.

How could Aaron worry about these things? As for Penélope Cruz, he was only a little interested at the time.

Aaron was too lazy to spend time trying to get something going with her. With his current status and prestige in Hollywood, he only needed to beckon his finger, and plenty of sexy beauties would kneel down to unzip his zipper!

"Okay, I'll be going back to the United States soon, and the crew will also return to Mexico to shoot. My time in Spain won't be too long."

Moreover, because the Spanish peseta devalued by 5% some time ago, coupled with the influence of this year's Olympic Games, the Spanish economy can be said to be recovering very well.

The shadow of the Gulf War is rapidly dissipating in Spain. As one of the fastest-growing major economies in Europe, the Spanish economy will definitely have a period of rise next!

Salma Hayek hugged Aaron's neck and arched affectionately, "Recently, I don't have any scenes to shoot. Do you need me to accompany you back to the United States?"

"Going back to the United States is a certainty, but I still have some other things to deal with!"

Aaron recently bought a seaside villa on Ibiza in the Balearic Islands of Spain.

Aaron made 70 million US dollars from shorting the pound, can't he enjoy it?

Moreover, after leaving Spain, Aaron also has to go to France. Sophie Marceau filmed a romance film *Fanfan* in Paris, and it is almost finished!

"Well, then let's go back to rest early?"

Hearing that he still had something to do, Salma Hayek didn't force anything, just stared at the man in front of her with burning eyes.

Aaron smiled, leaned to the girl's ear, "Are you addicted?"

"Yes, I believe that as long as a woman has slept with you, they all look forward to the next time..."

With the recent European monetary crisis, the Italian lira and the British pound temporarily left the European Monetary System!

France, another major European country, also held a referendum, mainly hoping to establish countries with large differences in cultural politics into a political entity similar to the United States of Europe.

The member states must not only use the same currency for transactions, but also implement the *Maastricht Treaty* with a common foreign and security policy.

In Sophie Marceau's villa in the 92nd arrondissement (Hauts-de-Seine) in the western suburbs of Paris, Aaron was sitting on the sofa staring at the news on TV!

"A political entity of the United States of Europe?"

Aaron stroked his chin. Obviously, this is the future European Union.

"This *1492: Conquest of Paradise*, co-produced by France, has performed disappointingly in terms of word-of-mouth and box office;"

"Now, director Ridley Scott is helping you shoot *The Mask of Zorro*. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Sophie Marceau, wearing a sexy silk nightgown, sat on Aaron's lap, her fragrance intoxicating!

Aaron smiled, leaned to the girl's neck and rubbed, feeling the girl's softness, "What could be the problem?"

"The script of *1492: Conquest of Paradise* was originally bad. In Hollywood, many people don't understand why Ridley Scott accepted the director's invitation for this film?"

"Okay," Sophie Marceau kissed the man.

"Honey, I just bought a seaside holiday villa on Ibiza in the Mediterranean;"

"Come with me to play for two or three days, and then we'll return to the United States together!"

Anyway, Thanksgiving is coming soon, followed by Christmas and New Year. Aaron took the opportunity to make a fortune anyway.

Investing in some properties is normal!
