Hollywood starts with a broker

Mario Kassar was indeed speechless in the face of Aaron's inquiry, after all, even James Cameron's promised "Terminator 3" hadn't materialized yet!

Now, Carolco wants to find James Cameron to develop "Spider-Man," which is indeed too hasty.

Watching Mario Kassar leave, Aaron leaned back in his chair and took a sip of wine, "They're even trying to scheme against me, it's really, quite surprising!"

On the other side, Dawn Steel's purchase of the screenplay for "Good Will Hunting" from Castle Rock Entertainment for $1 million did indeed surprise Rob Reiner immensely;

Because, no matter how you look at it, "Good Will Hunting" is similar to an artistic, heartwarming film, and according to Dawn's approach in recent years, the main focus has been on commercial films.

New Line Cinema, which was acquired by Turner Broadcasting along with Castle Rock, is preparing to film the nonsensical comedy "Dumb and Dumber" starring Jim Carrey;

Because, when New Line Cinema signed with Jim Carrey, "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" hadn't been released yet, so his salary was still not very high, only $580,000.

Evening, Beverly Crest community.

Aaron was lying in a large, luxurious bathtub, with the sexy and fiery Sophie Marceau nestled in the man's arms, "You were in Los Angeles during the earthquake, right?"

"Yes, it gave me a scare," Aaron was in bed with Jennifer Aniston at the time, a truly unforgettable experience.

Sophie Marceau smiled and kissed Aaron, "Luckily, you're okay, otherwise, it would have been a real pity!"

After the kiss ended, Aaron asked Sophie Marceau in his arms.

"It's already been arranged, I have to go, and I'm European anyway!"

Sophie Marceau will indeed be traveling to London with the "Four Weddings and a Funeral" crew to attend the British Academy Film Awards ceremony.

"What, do you want to go too?"

Aaron shook his head, "The Sundance Film Festival just ended, and the Berlin International Film Festival is coming up soon;"

"I might need to keep an eye on some films, I probably won't have time to go to England."

"Whatever you want," Sophie Marceau has a laissez-faire attitude towards Aaron, "Recently, a producer has been in contact with me, saying that Mel Gibson wants to shoot a story about the Scottish War of Independence leader William Wallace;"

"There's already a ready-made script, and the investors are Paramount and 20th Century Fox!"

As soon as Aaron heard this, he immediately thought of it, isn't this Mel Gibson's self-directed and self-acted epic film "Braveheart"?

"I know about this, the script was adapted by screenwriter Randall Wallace, and Mel Gibson discovered it, he really likes the story;"

"So, he's preparing to direct this script!"

Aaron looked at Sophie Marceau in his arms, "Mel Gibson should be directing and acting himself, right?"

Sophie Marceau nodded, "Mel Gibson originally hoped that he could just focus on the film directing work of "Braveheart", and have someone else play the male lead William Wallace;"

"However, the investor Paramount requires Mel Gibson himself to play the male lead, so that it will be appealing!"

Aaron smiled, "Now, Mel Gibson's influence is beyond doubt, he also directed his directorial debut "The Man Without a Face" the year before last, which he also directed and acted in himself."

The film "The Man Without a Face" tells the story of mutual redemption between a teacher who was disfigured while saving his students and a tragic boy, and is based on a novel;

However, because the film "The Man Without a Face" changed the protagonist's homosexual orientation and some plots in the process of being adapted from the novel, the director and male lead Mel Gibson was accused of homophobia by media monitoring organizations, which had a negative impact on Mel Gibson's image in Hollywood.

As for "Braveheart", Paramount and 20th Century Fox are cooperating, responsible for the distribution in the North American and international markets respectively;

This is also a manifestation of Paramount increasing cooperation with other film companies after Sherry Lansing took charge!

Sophie Marceau looked at Aaron, "The "Braveheart" crew seems to have sent invitations to Sean Connery and Jodie Foster before;"

"It's just that both of them rejected the script."

Asking Sean Connery to play a minor supporting role, he certainly wouldn't want to, and Jodie Foster is even more honored as a two-time Oscar winner, so it's even less likely that she would play a vase-like role;

Sophie Marceau, as a French person, is perfect for playing the French princess in the play, and Sophie Marceau now has a certain reputation, but the gap between her and Hollywood's top actresses is still very obvious!

Immediately, Aaron kissed Sophie Marceau's lips, "Don't worry, Mel Gibson has the ability, and his reputation is big enough;"

"Even if his personal morals are flawed, he is definitely a top Hollywood superstar."

Mel Gibson can be said to be the representative of white supremacists, hating Jews and people of color;

At the same time, Mel Gibson is also a follower of extreme conservative Catholicism, and is hostile to homosexuals, Jewish women, and people of color.

......

At the same time, with the announcement of the Oscar nomination list, "The Piano" received 8 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress;

At the Berlin International Film Festival just held, Tom Hanks, who won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actor for "Philadelphia", was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Actor!

Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, at the Oscar nominees dinner, Aaron walked around Dawn's crew;

Unexpectedly, he ran into Winona Ryder, who was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for "The Age of Innocence".

"Winona, you won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress last month, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet;"

"Now, you have been nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress again, very good!"

Winona Ryder had just finished filming the film "Little Women", based on the famous novel of the same name, and smiled slightly at Aaron's congratulations.

"Thank you."
