Hollywood starts with a broker

The filming of "Phone Booth" was simple. After selling the European distribution rights, Aaron focused on the American and Japanese markets!

Because Christmas was approaching, Los Angeles was filled with a festive atmosphere.

At the same time, Sony, which had just acquired Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group and formed Sony Pictures Entertainment, poached Peter Guber and Jon Peters, the two producers of "Batman," from Warner Bros. to serve as co-CEOs!

Taking advantage of the lawsuit between Paramount and Time Warner some time ago, Sony was directly coaxed into poaching people?

Downtown Los Angeles, on the set of "Phone Booth," applause erupted after Nicolas Cage completed a take!

Nicole Kidman and Adam Sandler both made cameo appearances, especially Adam Sandler, whose role as a police officer had quite a few scenes.

"It's filming so fast, less than 20 days, right?"

Nicole Kidman was also encountering such a unique script for the first time.

"There are still two days dedicated to filming outdoor scenes. The scenes in the phone booth are almost finished," Aaron said, looking at Nicolas Cage, truly feeling that this guy had a talent for acting!

"Which distributor did you find?"

Aaron shook his head. "It's not decided yet. Miramax and New Line are both interested, but I want to hold a screening after the film is completed."

Aaron's idea was definitely to attract the attention of major distributors. After all, "Phone Booth" had a final fallback, which was to cooperate with Propaganda's Legacy Entertainment!

In the evening, Aaron took everyone to a Hollywood nightclub for entertainment. Anyway, from the director to the actors, they were all young people under 30.

Dance music, rock, and electronic music formed a wave of musical heat, impacting the senses of the people immersed in it;

Under the colorful neon lights, dancers in gorgeous costumes danced dynamically on the dance floor!

The smell of alcohol, hormones, and hallucinogens filled every corner. Aaron sat on the sofa, drinking tequila, watching the chaotic dance in the center of the room.

"Aaron, did you bring me here because you feel a little regretful?"

Nicole Kidman sat next to Aaron and kissed him with a smile.

"Why regret? I just wanted them to relax!"

"In the nightclub, there are so many young and beautiful sexy women. Don't you feel it's a pity?"

Aaron smiled and pulled Nicole Kidman into his arms. "With you here, why would I look at other women here?"

"Looks, figure, don't you have confidence in yourself?"

Nicole Kidman kissed Aaron and then, thinking of something, said, "By the way, I heard from director David Lynch that 'Wild at Heart' has been invited to the Cannes Film Festival next year;"

"What do you think, can it win an award?"

Aaron nodded. "It's very likely. David Lynch's works have a very high reputation in literary circles. France is the center of European cinema, which is very suitable for his type of work;"

"Moreover, Lynch's works are all supported by European funds!"

Speaking of which, David Lynch's works are more popular in Europe than in the United States. Hollywood's commercial nature is obvious to all;

There are no films with very low box office revenue among those nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, until the future, when Kathryn Bigelow's "The Hurt Locker" broke this record.

That "The Hurt Locker," with a box office of more than 10 million US dollars, created a low box office historical record for Best Picture;

Mainly, it was a purely American patriotic political gift film, and it coincided with the rise of feminism. Hollywood needed a best female director!

"Aaron, Nicole, let me introduce you to two friends."

At this time, Nicolas Cage appeared from nowhere, bringing Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder, the lovers;

Nicolas Cage had known Johnny Depp for a long time. Compared to Nicolas Cage, who came from an extraordinary background and became famous earlier, Johnny Depp had only become popular in the past two years with the TV series "21 Jump Street."

"Good evening!"

With Nicolas Cage's introduction, the group sat down and drank together.

"Depp, Aaron is the most powerful agent among the young people at CAA. It's a pity he resigned;"

"Now he has opened a film company, and the first film is this 'Phone Booth' that we are filming!"

After hearing Nicolas Cage's words, Johnny Depp was also surprised. "Such a young film company boss?"

Aaron smiled. "Just a low-budget thriller, trying to be a producer."

"Ah, Aaron, you left CAA?"

Winona Ryder on the side said in surprise. Some time ago, he took Jennifer Connelly to audition for the "Godfather 3" crew.

"Yes, I haven't left for long," Aaron said, looking at Winona Ryder intentionally, with some doubts.

"The 'Godfather 3' crew, didn't the role of that daughter fall on you?"

One wrong, one poem, one send, one content, one look, one see!

"It shouldn't be, I heard that director Coppola is very optimistic about you!"

Winona Ryder smiled awkwardly. Johnny Depp next to her took a sip of wine. "It seems that you have been too busy recently, Aaron, and haven't paid attention to these things;"

"Director Francis Coppola let his daughter Sofia Coppola play that role. Winona didn't go to the Italian set."

"Ah, is that so," Nicole Kidman next to Aaron had heard her man say before that Italians like to use their own people when making movies, and it's true, not wrong at all.

"Okay, let's have a drink," Aaron raised his glass.

"Actually, I am very much looking forward to Tim Burton's fantasy romance film 'Edward Scissorhands' this year;"

"I believe the performances of the two of you in the film will definitely surprise everyone!"

Johnny Depp is only 27 years old now, and he can be said to be handsome and compelling, full of decadence. "21 Jump Street" made him an American idol, but overall, he is still a small figure in the television circle;

"Edward Scissorhands" is a work that made him famous in the film circle, and the male and female protagonists fell in love from the play to the outside, with many topics.

"Thank you, Aaron. If there is a chance in the future, we may be able to cooperate!"

Winona Ryder smiled. Her agent had told her that Aaron Anderson's vision was very good;

Now that the other party has left CAA and become a film producer, Winona Ryder certainly does not hesitate to make a deal.

Even if Aaron Anderson achieves nothing in the future, it doesn't matter, just a word!

Aaron smiled and nodded. Hollywood is a place of fame and fortune. It seems that actors who can break out of the circle are indeed not fools.
