Hollywood starts with a broker

As December arrived, the atmosphere in Hollywood became increasingly heated!

The Franklin Templeton Foundation Group was willing to join Aaron Anderson in acquiring Victoria's Secret;

However, Les Wexner wasn't particularly keen on selling Victoria's Secret.

West Hollywood, the office of the Angel Theater.

Jack Wells played Donald Sterling's recording for Aaron, "Although there's some racial discrimination, it's not egregious enough!"

Aaron nodded, "Donald Sterling is a billionaire; this recording probably isn't enough to force his hand."

"What do we do then?" Jack Wells poured Aaron a drink. Billionaires are not easy to deal with,

especially old-money tycoons like Donald Sterling.

"Did you get the recording from an escort?"

Jack Wells nodded.

Aaron stroked his chin, "It would be best to have someone actively guide Donald Sterling into saying something serious!"

Jack Wells blinked, "Then it would be best to find a black escort..."

After returning to Dawn Pictures, director Edward Zwick approached Aaron Anderson with a script, requesting an adaptation;

"Legends of the Fall", adapted from the novel of the same name by writer Jim Harrison!

"Aaron, I've wanted to adapt this novel for a long time; now is the time."

Edward Zwick began working on the script after filming "Ghost," and it's now almost complete.

After Aaron finished reading the script, he nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Edward, the script is excellent. Dawn will support you in filming it;"

"You can assemble the crew and find suitable actors as soon as possible!"

If Aaron remembered correctly, "Legends of the Fall" was a good movie starring Brad Pitt.

After Edward Zwick left, assistant Aislinn Beckett walked in, "Boss, Columbia TriStar's Mr. Sidney Ganis hopes you can lead the cast and crew to Japan to promote "Bram Stoker's Dracula"!"

Aaron rubbed his temples, "I know about this; Sidney Ganis already mentioned it to me at the banquet a few days ago."

Japan is the second-largest film market outside of North America, a highly valued international market for Hollywood;

Aaron had never been there before. The costumes and makeup of "Bram Stoker's Dracula" have a lot of Japanese influence, so it should have a decent box office!

"Bram Stoker's Dracula's" box office performance in North America was lackluster; the focus should be on the international market;

After all, with a production budget of $40 million, plus more than $30 million in marketing expenses, the current North American box office has just passed $70 million, and it is estimated that it will only reach $80 million by the time it finishes its run, which is definitely not enough.

After the bursting of the economic bubble in Japan between 1986 and 1991, the stock market and real estate began to decline successively;

This had a serious impact on Japan's real economy, securities industry, banking industry, and other fields!

However, it is undeniable that Japan is still terrifyingly strong, with a total economic output of $2.98 trillion, accounting for 15.63% of the world's total;

The United States ranks first with $6.52 trillion, accounting for 25.6% of the world's total, and Germany ranks third with $2.13 trillion, accounting for 8.36%!

Neighboring China has $420 billion, ranking tenth in the world.

Soon, Aaron flew to Japan with Francis Ford Coppola, Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, and others from the "Bram Stoker's Dracula" crew!

Japan, Tokyo Imperial Hotel, a grand press conference was held for "Bram Stoker's Dracula";

As an important work by director Francis Ford Coppola, it attracted many Japanese media to participate.

Moreover, director Coppola specially invited Japanese film master Akira Kurosawa to the scene;

Akira Kurosawa received the 62nd Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement the year before last, becoming the first Asian to receive the award. The presenters were Steven Spielberg and George Lucas!

This was Aaron's first time in Japan and his first time in Asia. Since he was already here, Aaron didn't plan to go back so soon;

After all, the film's main creators were very busy and would only stay in Japan for two days.

In the evening, in the hotel suite, Aaron carried Winona Ryder into the bedroom. The two, who already had a tacit understanding, quickly shed their clothes;

Soon, the man's low roars and the woman's screams echoed in the room, a sensual scene that made one's blood boil...

In the bathroom, Aaron hugged Winona Ryder and lay in the bathtub. After a burst of heat and a passionate long kiss, the two were a little out of breath!

"Wasn't it enough on the bed just now?"

Winona Ryder weakly wrapped her arms around the man's neck, her face flushed.

"Is it perhaps a different feeling because it's my first time in Japan?"

Aaron caressed the woman's body while looking at the Tokyo night scene outside the window, "It should be snowing in Tokyo soon!"

"Yeah, I heard you're not going back to the United States; are you planning to stay in Japan?"

Winona Ryder then leaned her whole body into the man's arms, asking with some doubt.

Without error, one first, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one look!

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Aaron closed his eyes, "Yes, I will stay in Japan for a few days first, because I applied for a visa to China, and I plan to go and take a look when the time comes;"

"Moreover, Hong Kong cinema is currently the only one that can compete with Hollywood, and I also plan to go and see!"

Aaron had applied for the visa when Jack Wells went to Russia before, but it had never been used.

Winona Ryder smiled, "I still have to follow the crew to Europe to promote the film. I won't be staying in Japan for long. I heard the hot springs here are very comfortable;"

"This season is a good time to enjoy the hot springs!"

Aaron nodded, "Yes, this time of year is indeed very suitable for soaking in hot springs; what a pity."

"By the way," Aaron said, leaning close to the woman's ear and blowing a breath, "After you and Johnny Depp broke up, have you ever thought about starting a new relationship?"

"A new relationship?" Winona Ryder shook her head.

Looking up at Aaron, "Wouldn't you count as one during this time?"

Aaron smiled, "Doesn't count with me, right?"

Winona Ryder also closed her eyes, "I still want to thank you for this time; otherwise, it would have been very difficult for me to get through."

Her love for Johnny Depp was genuine, but unfortunately, his infidelity was in his bones!

"Mmm," Aaron directly blocked the other's lips and kissed her, causing Winona Ryder to involuntarily respond to the kiss.

"What are you thanking me for? During this time, I also got you. Now, I feel a little reluctant to let you go!"

"Puchi," Winona Ryder smiled, "You have many women around you; there will only be more in the future;"

"You are more adaptable to a place like Hollywood than I am."

Aaron smiled without saying a word!
