Hollywood starts with a broker

In the Los Feliz neighborhood, inside Jennifer Connelly's house.

While Jennifer Connelly was taking a shower, Aaron picked up a book from the bookshelf, "Jurassic Park," and started reading it.

A science fiction novel published this year by author Michael Crichton, it topped the bestseller lists of the New York Times and other publications upon its release!

"A very good novel, involving a lot of scientism, genetic engineering, genetics, and cloning technology, among other things."

At that moment, Jennifer Connelly walked over wearing a silk camisole nightgown, her sexy and alluring figure incredibly tempting!

"Mmm," Jennifer Connelly sat directly in the man's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck, and started kissing him passionately.

After the kiss ended, Aaron put down the book, "This novel is being adapted, with Universal and Steven Spielberg collaborating."

Before the "Jurassic Park" novel was even published last year, Michael Crichton sent the draft to the six major Hollywood film companies.

The six major film companies competed for the adaptation rights, which were ultimately acquired by Universal Pictures and Spielberg. At the same time, Universal also offered the highest author and director profit-sharing agreement to date!

"Is it going to be made into a movie? It won't be easy to film," Jennifer Connelly leaned against Aaron, the dinosaur special effects would be difficult to create.

"Not so fast, Spielberg is currently filming 'Hook'."

Because CAA fully supported Spielberg in filming "Hook", Michael Ovitz finally got his wish and obtained Spielberg's directorial representation.

Now, the famous Spielberg has also become a CAA client!

Aaron leaned back on the sofa, holding Jennifer Connelly in his arms, thinking in his mind that during the time Spielberg was filming "Jurassic Park", it seemed that another movie would also start filming, which was "Schindler's List."

Aaron had previously worked at CAA and knew that the adaptation rights for "Schindler's List" belonged to director Martin Scorsese, who wanted to film the movie but couldn't get support.

After all, Martin Scorsese had the precedent of a disastrous work like "The Last Temptation of Christ."

A work about the Jewish Holocaust, no one would think it had a market.

However, Spielberg, as a Jew, was also very interested in "Schindler's List" and obtained the adaptation rights from Martin Scorsese!

"'Schindler's List,' when CAA persuades Universal to support Spielberg in producing this film, they should raise funds."

Aaron thought to himself, Dawn Pictures could act as this "fool", no one was optimistic about "Schindler's List."

However, even if Spielberg's works are not favored, Universal will still support them!

Aaron really couldn't ignore such a work that pleased the Jews, especially since this movie had great box office and word-of-mouth success.

"Let's go rest, darling!"

Jennifer Connelly in his arms suddenly leaned close to Aaron's ear and blew a breath.

Aaron smiled, feeling the woman's 34D, "When you were on the set, did that Billy Campbell try to pursue you?"

"Yes, he wanted to ask me out for dinner, to see a movie, things like that, but I refused him."

"Besides, I ran into you at the bar just now, I believe he won't bother me anymore in the future!"

Aaron thought for a moment, "Then, will he make things difficult for you on the set? Isn't 'The Rocketeer' over schedule?"

Jennifer Connelly shook her head, "Definitely not, the later over-schedule scenes are mainly action scenes, I only have some dialogue scenes."

"Hmm..."

Dawn Pictures, screening room.

After the re-edited "Boyz n the Hood" finished playing, Aaron looked at John Singleton beside him.

"This should be okay, right? Compared to the previous violent scenes, it's been reduced a bit, it should be able to get an R-rating, right?"

Aaron also felt a little inexplicable, the MPAA has always been relatively lenient on the scale of violence.

They are more strict when it comes to erotic content.

John Singleton spread his hands, "Hey, I'm not sure either, this is the third submission!"

It could be seen that John Singleton really didn't want to continue deleting the scenes inside.

"Okay, I'll go to Sony and ask Mr. Sid Ganis about it."

Columbia is also the distributor, shouldn't they contribute?

"That would be great, they can put some pressure on the MPAA!"

"Boyz n the Hood" is John Singleton's first feature film, so he naturally values it very much and hopes it can enter the theaters normally.

After entering December, the Christmas season saw a surge of various movies being released, but the best performing one was of course 20th Century Fox's "Home Alone."

In mid-December, "Home Alone" surpassed the $100 million mark at the North American box office!

At the same time, another fantasy romance film distributed by 20th Century Fox, directed by Tim Burton, and starring Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder, "Edward Scissorhands", was also released nationwide.

Released in 1023 theaters, it grossed $6.5 million in its opening weekend, but received good word-of-mouth, with most film critics and media giving it high praise.

"Empire" magazine: "Tim Burton's 'Edward Scissorhands' represents a touching fairy tale and is by far the most whimsical film!"

"The Washington Post": "'Edward Scissorhands' has stunning photography, art design, and costume design, and also shows refreshing changes!"

In the evening, Aaron drove back to West Hollywood from Culver City, and on Fountain Avenue, when passing near the Fountain Theatre.

I saw a girl sobbing near a large poster of "Edward Scissorhands".

Aaron squinted his eyes, "Isn't that Winona Ryder, the heroine on the poster?"

Although he felt inexplicably confused, Aaron still stopped the car to see what was going on, could it be that she had encountered something bad?

"Um, Winona, is that you?"

Aaron approached and asked.

"Ah," Winona Ryder, who was squatting on the side, raised her head, her eyes were red, and she had indeed been crying.

"Aaron, it's you!"

Winona Ryder was about to stand up, perhaps she had been squatting for a while, and was a little unsteady, Aaron went up to help her.

He took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her to wipe away her tears.

"So, can you tell me, what happened to you? Crying here alone!"

Now, with the successful release of "Edward Scissorhands", Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder can be said to be Hollywood's golden couple.

Winona Ryder shook her head, looked at Aaron Anderson, "Thank you, Aaron, it's nothing;"

"I just, I just couldn't help it..."

"Couldn't help it?" Aaron scratched his head.

"Forget it, don't think about it, where's Depp, aren't you together?"

Now the newspapers are constantly reporting news of the two being intimate and expressing their love sweetly;

There's no reason for only Winona Ryder to be alone?

"In the bar over there," Winona Ryder pointed, "Aaron, would you like to go over and have a drink together?"

Aaron nodded, "I'll take you to find Depp first!"

I heard that Winona Ryder has depression, I wonder if it's acting up?
