Hollywood starts with a broker

With the successful conclusion of the 63rd Academy Awards, "Dances with Wolves" unsurprisingly became the biggest winner;

Kevin Costner rose to fame in one fell swoop, not only winning Best Director for his directorial debut, but "Dances with Wolves" also won Best Picture!

Kathy Bates also won the Oscar for Best Actress for the movie "Misery", which was a bit unexpected;

At the same time, Aaron also noticed the Chinese-language film "Ju Dou" in the Best Foreign Language Film nominations. Although Miramax secured the nomination, it failed to win the award like "Cinema Paradiso" last year.

Culver City, Columbia Pictures.

Sidney Ganis sat in his office chair with a smile on his face, "Kevin Costner really gave people a big surprise!"

The assistant beside him echoed, "The performance of Dawn Films is even more surprising. The box office of 'Boyz n the Hood' has already reached $25 million."

"Really lucky," Sidney Ganis certainly understood that the performance of "Boyz n the Hood" was inseparable from the recent black protests against violent law enforcement.

"It seems that we should also pay more attention to 'Ghost', and we should increase the marketing budget!"

Kevin Costner is now in the limelight, and the new Oscar winner is also a supporting actress in the movie. Sidney Ganis is increasingly confident in Dawn's "Ghost".

"Mr. Ganis, if Aaron Anderson's vision is really that good, perhaps we should deepen our cooperative relationship with him."

Sidney Ganis looked at the assistant, "Do you mean to sign an exclusive distribution agreement with him?"

Then, he shook his head, "Difficult. You can understand from Aaron's way of doing things that he likes to completely control his projects;"

"He doesn't care whether he can get film shooting funds from distributors. With his current resume, he doesn't have to worry about cooperating distributors at all!"

"However, we still have to try."

The current Sony Pictures Entertainment is very chaotic internally.

Sony Pictures, Columbia Pictures, and Samsung Pictures are all waving banknotes wantonly, regardless of the profit and loss of the film itself, which is terrible;

Moreover, Jon Peters, one of the two people in charge of Sony Pictures Entertainment, is also constantly involved in scandals. The call girls and various young girls entering and leaving his office are endless, and it has even made the newspapers!

This hair stylist from the San Fernando Valley, whose most important identity is just as Barbara Streisand's ex-boyfriend.

In the evening, on Santa Monica Beach, at the Fairmont Miramar Hotel's cottage, Aaron hugged Jennifer Connelly and lay on a beach chair by the pool!

"Okay, I will let the crew members of 'Ghost' cooperate with your publicity when the time comes;"

"We will arrange Kevin Costner's schedule."

Aaron was on the phone with Sidney Ganis.

"Well, it seems that Columbia is paying more and more attention to 'Ghost'!"

After Aaron hung up the phone, Jennifer Connelly kissed the man.

"It's normal. Kevin Costner is too dazzling now," Aaron stroked the sexy beauty in his arms.

The North American box office of "Dances with Wolves" has reached 140 million U.S. dollars, and overseas it has exceeded 150 million;

Now that it has won the Oscar for Best Picture, there will definitely be another big rise. Although it is a long-term release, it is also an amazing benefit for Orion!

"The best performer last year was 'Home Alone', distributed by 20th Century Fox. The North American box office has now exceeded $250 million, and the overseas market has also exceeded $150 million;"

"Even more powerful than 'Pretty Woman'!"

"Home Alone" is too eye-catching in the North American market, while in contrast, "Pretty Woman" has a large share of the overseas market!

"20th Century Fox," Aaron had cooperated with them on "Phone Booth" before, and they were too dark.

They charged too much for distribution costs and marketing expenses, and now the focus of News Corporation is on television. They don't spend as much effort on the film business now;

News Corporation wants to build its own global television network in Australia, Europe, the Americas, and Asia.

Rupert Murdoch owns 45% of News Corporation's shares. The large-scale acquisitions in recent years, coupled with the competition between FOX and the three major American wireless broadcast television networks, the competition between Sky TV and British Satellite Broadcasting, etc., have caused News Corporation to suffer serious losses and be heavily in debt;

Now News Corporation's creditors are all over the world, and they even have 9 types of currency debt, totaling 7.6 billion U.S. dollars owed to 146 financial companies.

However, Sky TV is now preparing to merge with British Satellite Broadcasting. The competition between these two has made Hollywood film companies happy!

"Speaking of 'Home Alone', you shouldn't still remember that 'Curly Sue', right?"

"Curly Sue" will be released at the end of this month, and it has the same producer as "Home Alone", John Hughes;

Before, Aaron asked Jennifer Connelly to reject this role. Could it be that she regrets it?

"No, the types are different. One is a Christmas family comedy, and the other is a youth love film;"

"Besides, last year's 'The Hot Spot' can prove your vision!"

Jennifer Connelly smiled and rubbed against the man's chest.

"Hmm!" Faced with the teasing, Aaron directly kissed the girl, and by the way untied her bikini, feeling the 34D…

On the other side, in the office of Angel Theater on Fountain Avenue in West Hollywood, Jack Welles poured a glass of champagne for John Singleton, the director of "Boyz n the Hood".

There is no mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one face, one exist, one see!

"John, come, have a drink. Our 'Boyz n the Hood' has already been successful, don't worry!"

John Singleton smiled and put down the viewing survey report in his hand, "The first movie always has some tension;"

"Moreover, some newspapers say that our movie has the meaning of promoting violence, and there are also criticisms from old Hollywood actors, look!"

Speaking, John Singleton handed Jack Welles a newspaper about Warren Beatty criticizing "Boyz n the Hood".

Jack Welles took it and looked at it, and it really was an interview with Warren Beatty in "Empire" magazine, criticizing "Boyz n the Hood"!

Somewhat angrily, he scratched himself again. This guy is a bit haunting?

"Jack, actually, there is no need to worry. Most of the media and film critics have positive reviews of 'Boyz n the Hood'!"

John Singleton comforted him again. Movies always have criticisms, let alone criticisms from a Hollywood actor?

Jack Welles took a sip of wine, "You should know, John, Warren Beatty and Aaron don't get along very well;"

"Like a fly, it always flies around in your ear from time to time, which is a bit annoying."

John Singleton smiled, "Of course I know, it was about the comparison between the movies 'Dick Tracy' and 'Pretty Woman' back then;"

"That made Warren Beatty lose face."

Jack Welles disdained, "Still have face? Back then, his nude running scandal with that French actress was enough for him to lose face, but this guy has no shame."

Okay, Jack Welles really wanted to have that kind of life again!
