Hollywood starts with a broker

Although Aaron had become a member of the NBA league's owners, it didn't cause much of a stir because it was the time of the NBA 92-93 season finals;

The Western Conference champion Phoenix Suns, led by Charles Barkley, were facing the defending champion Chicago Bulls, led by Michael Jordan!

Downtown Manhattan, West Village, in the New York office of Dawn Pictures.

Aaron leaned back in his chair, and Jack Wills excitedly poured two glasses of wine, "So, you've acquired the Houston Rockets;"

"We have to celebrate, I'm a Hakeem Olajuwon fan!"

Aaron took a sip of wine, "Do you want to participate in the management of the team?"

"Me," Jack Wills shook his head, "You know my abilities, my only real job was with you at CAA."

"Then," Aaron's eyes lit up, "I think you can start a sports agency; in the future, the athlete representation business will be a big deal;"

"There's a sports agency called IMG (International Management Group), pay attention to it, it was originally focused on golf athletes, but now it also has other sports businesses;"

"It was founded in the sixties by agent Mark McCormack and golf legend Arnold Daniel Palmer!"

Jack Wills nodded, "I know IMG, most of the professional golf athletes are their clients;"

"Aaron, do you want to acquire IMG?"

"Not me, you. You find a way to slowly acquire IMG. Mark McCormack and Arnold Daniel Palmer are so old, I estimate they won't be able to manage IMG for many more years!"

"Me?" Jack Wills smiled helplessly, "Isn't that a bit difficult for me? IMG is developing well now, it won't be easy to acquire."

"First acquire some shares, slowly nibble away at it, you can come to me for money!"

Right now, IMG is just a small sports agency, mainly focused on golf, its value isn't high.

"When the time comes, you can expand into football, baseball, and basketball, sports representation is definitely a big business;"

"Anyway, it's pretty much the same business model as Angels Company, one is sending players, the other is sending security personnel!"

Aaron shrugged. In the future, they could also enter more fields such as soccer and tennis.

After Jack Wills left, Aaron looked through the box office data in his hand, "The Crying Game" $62 million in North America;

"Scent of a Woman" $63 million in North America, $71 million in overseas markets, a total of $130 million worldwide;

"Schindler's List" $96 million in North America, $225 million overseas, a total box office of $320 million worldwide!

The three art films released at the end of last year all achieved both critical and commercial success. The box office revenue of the three films alone exceeded $200 million;

Plus video tapes, television broadcasts, etc., this is Aaron's confidence to acquire the Houston Rockets, and also to acquire Rainbow Media's AMC cable TV station.

At the same time, Universal's blockbuster "Jurassic Park" began its public release. After earning $3 million in box office revenue from Thursday's midnight screenings, it officially opened in 2407 theaters in North America the next day, with a weekend performance of $47 million!

At night, in an apartment near High Line Park, Winona Ryder came to see Aaron.

"Hmm, aren't you going to film that movie adapted from the literary work of the same name, "Little Women"?"

Aaron hugged the girl and sat on the sofa, feeling the warmth and fragrance in his arms.

"It's still in preparation, it's estimated that it won't start until October;"

"By the way, "Reality Bites" should be released overseas, right?"

Winona Ryder's first film as a producer and lead actress, "Reality Bites", earned $24 million at the North American box office, which was barely satisfactory for an art film with a production cost of only $12 million.

"It will be arranged for release in Europe, "Reality Bites" has good word-of-mouth, it's considered a well-received youth film;"

"Moreover, Ben Stiller's directing ability is also worthy of recognition!"

Although "Reality Bites" is not a commercial success, it can't lose money;

With Winona Ryder's fame, it can still have some box office in Europe.

"Really? Then this "Reality Bites" didn't make you lose money, did it?"

Winona Ryder affectionately kissed Aaron on the face, "Fortunately, the cost of the movie is not high!"

Aaron smiled, unbuttoned the girl's shirt, and blew into her ear, "Even if it loses money, it doesn't matter, you can pay with your body. As long as I'm at Dawn, it's hard to lose money."

"Oh, then I've been with you for a long time, doesn't that mean that in the future, if there are any projects, you'll invest in me?"

Isn't the most difficult thing for a film producer to find investment?

With Aaron's relationship, Winona Ryder can completely seek Aaron's help if she encounters projects like "Reality Bites" in the future.

"What do you think?"

"Mmm..."

Winona Ryder directly put her arms around the man's neck and offered a sweet kiss;

Aaron also picked up the girl and went to the bedroom, throwing Winona Ryder onto the bed!

"What, do you have any ideas about becoming a producer?"

Lying on the girl, Aaron asked with a smile.

"Well, if there's a chance, I can still try it out. Don't I have you now? You're a Hollywood prodigy, I can also learn some of your success experience!"

The current Winona Ryder has a very strong career ambition and a serious attitude towards work.

"Actually, there's not much experience. If you participate in more commercial films in the future, you can better increase your popularity and influence;"

"Moreover, the actor's salary is determined by the box office of the starring movie. Art films are still difficult to compete with commercial films!"

Unless it's like Aaron, who has a cheat and can discover hit art films, that's of course the best.

"You're talking about movies like "Bram Stoker's Dracula", right, I understand!"

"Bram Stoker's Dracula"'s global box office of $200 million is more than the sum of the box office of all the films Winona Ryder had participated in before;

"Edward Scissorhands" was also very successful. These two films have greatly increased Winona Ryder's influence.

Movies like "Mermaids", "Night on Earth", and "Reality Bites" are all artistic works;

The box office itself is only so much, so definitely not many people know about them. They mainly gain some recognition at awards shows.

""The Age of Innocence" and "Little Women" are both adapted from famous novels, and the directors are also famous directors, so they should be able to gain some awards at the award ceremony;"

"Next, I should still take on some commercial films, at least the salary is higher!"

Aaron said as he unbuttoned the girl's bra.

"Mmm..."
