Hollywood starts with a broker

Kate Beckinsale inherently possessed Eastern beauty, and now at just 21, she radiated youthful energy.

Compared to purely Western-looking beauties, Aaron had always favored actresses with Eastern charm.

Sophie Marceau, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Winona Ryder were all examples, and now there was Kate Beckinsale!

In the morning, Aaron woke up to find Kate Beckinsale already up and preparing breakfast, wearing a white men's shirt.

Her neat short hair made her look capable, and her slender, fair legs beneath the shirt were even more captivating.

"Good morning, darling!"

Entering the kitchen, Aaron hugged the girl from behind, kissed her face, and reached for the buttons of her shirt.

"Mmm," Kate Beckinsale turned her head to kiss the man behind her, pressing her entire body against Aaron's chest. "Don't rush, we can eat after the eggs and sausages are fried."

"I'm not rushing!" Aaron smiled, teasing the beauty in his arms for a while, and walked away after her breathing became rapid.

"Alright, go eat breakfast!"

Kate Beckinsale glared at Aaron with a hint of reproach before following him out with the plates.

After finishing breakfast, Aaron sat on the sofa with the sexy Kate Beckinsale in his arms. "Are you getting used to being here in America?"

"It's okay, I spent some time in Paris alone this year anyway, so I adapt to new environments pretty well!"

Kate Beckinsale said, nuzzling Aaron's face, "It's you, though. Since I came to America, I've noticed you have quite a few scandals."

"From Australia, France, England, and America."

Aaron raised an eyebrow. "Hey, isn't that just the newspapers making things up?"

Shouldn't there also be Mexico, Spain, and Brazil?

Christiana Yeri might be French now, but she's still a Frenchwoman of Brazilian descent!

Meanwhile, Dawnlight Pictures quickly purchased the adaptation rights to the comic "Men in Black" and prepared to find someone to develop it.

When they contacted Disney through producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer to take over the script for "Bad Boys," Disney offered a sky-high price.

"Three million dollars?" At Dawnlight Pictures, Aaron sat in his office, smiling as he listened to Aislinn Beckett's report.

Three million dollars to buy an original script was definitely a top price at the time; the script for "Basic Instinct" was at that level!

"Agree to Disney's price," Aaron said, waving his hand. "Will Smith, the male lead of the sitcom 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,' has a lot of comedic talent, recommend him."

"Also, Salma Hayek, the actress from 'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,' performed very well. She's a Mexican Latina, and since 'Bad Boys' is set in Miami anyway, let her play the female role in it!"

Aislinn Beckett nodded. As expected, her boss already had a complete idea before buying the script from Disney.

This way, they could completely save on the preparation time for "Bad Boys." Maybe it could be released as early as the end of next year.

Was three million dollars expensive? Of course, it was expensive, but the script was indeed worth the price, especially with Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer's endorsement.

As for Salma Hayek, Aaron felt that this woman was indeed very serious about acting, her skills were not bad, and her figure was sexy and charming. She was beautiful and could be cultivated!

Although, Aaron actually thought that Penelope Cruz from Spain would also be suitable, another sexy Latina beauty.

It's just that Penelope Cruz was still in Spain and hadn't come to Hollywood.

Before Thanksgiving in 1993, Joe Roth, chairman of 20th Century Fox Film Group, resigned.

As a CAA client, Joe Roth originally planned to form his own independent film company, but under Michael Ovitz's persuasion, he prepared to join Disney to oversee Disney's live-action films!

After all, Disney Chairman and CEO Michael Eisner and Disney Animation's Jeffrey Katzenberg were at odds, and Michael Eisner hoped that Joe Roth could replace Jeffrey Katzenberg.

Moreover, Jeffrey Katzenberg bypassed Roy Disney, chairman of Disney Animation, and directly issued orders to the animation department, which also dissatisfied Roy Disney, a member of Disney's board of directors.

However, the more significant news in Hollywood was that Viacom offered $10.7 billion to acquire Paramount Communications.

This was more than a billion dollars higher than Barry Diller's QVC's previous offer, and Barry Diller subsequently announced his withdrawal from the competition.

Thus, Sumner Redstone's Viacom acquired Paramount Communications for $10.7 billion.

This included Paramount Entertainment Group, Simon \u0026 Schuster Publishing, MSG Group, and 50% of the USA Network (Universal's parent company, MCA, owned the other half)!

Sumner Redstone specially hosted a grand and luxurious Hollywood-style party at the Bel-Air Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Entrepreneurs, politicians, bankers, film company executives, and various Hollywood stars and media figures, totaling over 300 people, attended.

Because Dawnlight's "Philadelphia" was scheduled to be released in December, Aaron specially brought Monica Bellucci, who was promoting the film, along!

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

"Oh, Mr. Buss, what a coincidence," Aaron said, holding Monica Bellucci. He really didn't expect to run into Jerry Buss.

Jerry Buss smiled. "Aaron, Mr. Redstone can be considered the owner of the New York Knicks now."

"The three of us now have the same identity!"

Aaron patted his forehead. "I almost forgot that the New York Knicks are an asset of the MSG Group."

The most valuable clubs in the league now are none other than the New York Knicks and the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Knicks are now a powerhouse in the East, similar to the Houston Rockets' status in the West, but the current Lakers seem like trash.

"Recently, another NBA club transaction has been completed. Michael Jordan's retirement has had a significant impact on the NBA!"

Jerry Buss sighed.

Aaron certainly knew, after all, the San Antonio Spurs, also a Texas team, had just completed a transaction.

Businessman Peter Holt, along with 22 investors, acquired the San Antonio Spurs for $75 million!

Aaron smiled. "The Lakers' performance isn't very good right now, and I heard that the contract between the Lakers and Johnson is only halfway through."

Back then, Jerry Buss shocked the league by signing a 25-year, $25 million super-long contract with "Magic" Johnson.

Who would have thought that Johnson would retire last year due to AIDS?

Now, the Lakers still have to continue paying the other party's contract salary… …
