Hollywood starts with a broker
#117 - Go to Hollywood
Harvey Weinstein didn't make a public fuss or take any action after being taught a lesson by Aaron!
But Aaron still had Jack Wills keep an eye on Miramax and the Weinstein brothers.
"Don't worry, those two brothers are just small fry in front of you. The box office of a Dawn film is higher than the total box office of the films they release in two years!"
Jack Wills reminded him.
Aaron stretched lazily, "I didn't take that fat guy seriously. Just pay attention to the female employees of Miramax and the actresses in Miramax's works."
"That fatso is a horny ghost. Maybe we can use these people in the future!"
Jack Wills smiled, "Is there a need to be so troublesome? I guess it won't be long before you can directly crush those two brothers..."
As September arrived, "Sleepless in Seattle" officially started filming. Aaron signed a new distribution contract with Samsung, with the latter taking 10% of the box office revenue as a distribution commission.
At this time, the box office of "Ghost" had already exceeded 170 million US dollars, and overseas it had exceeded 250 million US dollars!
However, the Venice Film Festival had already opened, and Aaron went to Venice. At the same time, the drama "My Own Private Idaho", which Heritage Entertainment was going to release, was also shortlisted for the main competition unit.
Northeastern Italy, the "City of Water" in Europe, bordering the Adriatic Sea. Venice is mainly composed of more than 100 small islands, and the city's transportation is connected by various canals!
In the Monaco Grand Canal Hotel suite in the center of Venice, Aaron was flipping through the information in his hand.
"Urga", "The Big Catch", "Mississippi Masala", "My Own Private Idaho", and "Raise the Red Lantern" were among the works shortlisted for the Golden Lion Award.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and Aaron opened the door.
Sophie Marceau, dressed in a simple outfit, was standing at the door, "What, you asked me to come over, aren't you going to invite me in?"
Aaron smiled, pulled Sophie Marceau into his arms, and kissed her directly, appearing extremely passionate!
Soon, the two came to the bed in the bedroom. Aaron lay on the woman's body, feeling the charm of this "French Kiss", and smoothed the other's chestnut bangs.
"Sophie, you are still so tempting!"
Sophie Marceau smiled, hugged the man on her body and kissed him, "Your achievements this year are really surprising. "Ghost" is such a moving movie."
"You can do it too, but you always want to stay in France, right?"
"Well, do you really want me to develop in Hollywood?"
"Why not? My movies are much better than those you make. You released two movies in the first half of this year, right? No splash, a double failure of awards and box office!"
One "North African Battlefield" and one "Blue Note", apart from Sophie Marceau showing off her sexy and attractive body, there was nothing that could attract people's attention and thought.
"Indeed, it can't compare to your work," Sophie Marceau's breathing became heavier, "Let me go to Hollywood, are you going to make me your mistress!"
"Not only that, but also Aaron Anderson's woman. Your old, gully-faced boyfriend, Andrzej Zulawski, is really enviable, isn't he?"
Immediately, Sophie Marceau breathed into Aaron's ear, "Well, don't talk about these things, now is our world..."
With Sophie Marceau accompanying him in Venice, Aaron didn't feel bored. He participated in the promotional activities for "My Own Private Idaho" and appreciated the screening works.
"This is a Chinese movie, Aaron, do you want to watch it?"
At the entrance of a theater showing "Raise the Red Lantern", Sophie Marceau asked, hugging Aaron's waist.
Aaron put his arm around Sophie's shoulder, pushed his sunglasses on his face, and smiled: "I've seen it, and Dawn is buying this movie, preparing to take it back to the United States for release;"
"At last year's Cannes Film Festival, a movie co-directed by this director and actress was nominated for the Palme d'Or, called "Ju Dou", and was also shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film at the beginning of the year!"
The North American distributor of "Ju Dou" was Miramax, with a box office of less than 2 million US dollars, but it was the highest-grossing mainland Chinese film in North America.
The North American box office record for Chinese-language films is still held by the deceased Bruce Lee, waiting for Jackie Chan to break it!
"I see, it seems that Dawn is also paying attention to some foreign art films after forming its own distribution department."
"You should know that I finally managed to build Dawn's own distribution channel, of course I have to ensure the operation of the channel!"
Dawn's distribution is basically the contacts and channels of Heritage Entertainment before, plus the shareholding support of Landmark Theatres.
Sophie Marceau pulled Aaron, "Then let's go and see this movie!"
Sophie Marceau has always been known for her beauty, but there has never been any performance award recognition.
Aaron nodded and walked into the theater with Sophie Marceau...
Sophie Marceau left the theater with Aaron before the movie ended.
Without exception, read the first, the first, the content, and the one by one!
Immediately, Sophie Marceau came to a nearby bridge, took a bottle of water, and gargled!
Aaron hugged the woman from behind, "Or, shall we go back to the hotel?"
"Well, aren't we going to go shopping?" Sophie Marceau leaned in the man's arms, "Didn't you say this is your first time in Venice?"
"Yes, so I specially called you in advance and asked you to come from France."
Sophie Marceau nodded, "Then let's go back, you were so bad in the theater just now!"
Aaron smiled on his face, "Well, we'll continue after we go back to the hotel, there are even worse things."
"However, I still hope you can come to Hollywood with me to develop. You should understand that with me, your career will definitely be able to reach a higher level!"
Sophie Marceau sighed, "You are too domineering, let me think about it first..."
Brad Grey from Dawn's market distribution department came with Aaron Anderson to cooperate with the promotion of "My Own Private Idaho" and to purchase finished films.
In addition to Dawn's interest in "Raise the Red Lantern", Orion Pictures' art label Orion Classics is also interested!
However, compared to Dawn Pictures, which is not short of money now, Orion, which is in dire financial straits, has no advantage.
Even if the North American distribution rights of "Raise the Red Lantern" are quite cheap.
With the closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival, the Golden Lion Award was won by the film "Urga" directed by Soviet director Nikita Mikhalkov.
"My Own Private Idaho" allowed the male lead River Phoenix to win the Best Actor award, while "Raise the Red Lantern" and two other films won the Silver Lion Award for Best Film!
