Hollywood starts with a broker
#200 - This is the background
New York, Manhattan, the Pierre Hotel.
Aaron and Charles Jensen from Franklin Templeton Investments were enjoying afternoon tea, discussing the future of Victoria's Secret!
"Aaron, do you mean you're still planning to collaborate with a TV station for a live broadcast?"
Charles Jensen was very supportive of Aaron's Victoria's Secret show idea, as well as the so-called Victoria's Secret Supermodel concept.
"We can look for a TV station to talk to, but not this year. We can try holding a Victoria's Secret show in New York first."
"When the time comes, invite international supermodels like Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer to participate, and make a name for ourselves first!"
When the fame is big enough, TV stations will naturally come to discuss cooperation.
Charles Jensen nodded, "I will split Victoria's Secret from Limited Brands as soon as possible;"
"Aaron, when do you think the Victoria's Secret show should be held?"
Aaron thought for a moment, "November, just in time to warm up for the upcoming Christmas mega-promotion!"
In the evening, Aaron took Christiane Jeri to the villa on the Upper East Side, "After filming 'Pulp Fiction,' find some time to acquire a modeling agency;"
"One with Brazilian or South American business, or even go back to Brazil."
Christiane Jeri had been following Aaron these past few days to handle Victoria's Secret matters, and knew what he was thinking.
"Aaron, is this very urgent?"
Aaron shook his head, "Not urgent. The Victoria's Secret show needs to make a name for itself first. It will probably attract attention after one or two shows;"
"So, you can take your time. It's just a side business anyway!"
Christiane Jeri poured Aaron a glass of wine, "'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective' will start filming in Miami soon. The crew seems to be almost assembled;"
"That comedian you're optimistic about, Jim Carrey, is indeed extraordinary. I've met him too. His facial expressions are very rich, and he's also very good at imitating."
Christiane Jeri now had the identity of Aaron's assistant and was going to participate in the filming of the movie 'Pulp Fiction';
But she had also paid attention to Dawn's other works!
Aaron pulled Christiane Jeri into his arms and sat her on his lap, "That guy used to perform in comedy clubs, often playing the clown, responsible for pleasing the audience;"
"When his movie is released, it will definitely form a unique style, Jim Carrey's exclusive comedy style!"
"Mmm," Christiane Jeri put her arms around the man's neck and kissed him, "Dawn also has a 'Forrest Gump' that will be starting soon. You should pay more attention to it;"
"A budget of $60 million is very high!"
"Of course, 'Forrest Gump' is Dawn's key project next year," Aaron put down his wine glass and stroked the girl's body. The importance of 'Forrest Gump' was even above 'Interview with the Vampire'.
April 11, 1993, Easter.
New York, Manhattan, West Village, in the office of Dawn Pictures.
Aaron, Dawn Steel, and Quentin Tarantino were discussing the script for 'Pulp Fiction'!
"Madonna Ciccone can certainly play a role. Her influence and topicality have enough appeal;"
"Quentin is optimistic about John Travolta playing Vincent!"
Dawn Steel was speaking. She was actually not very satisfied with John Travolta;
The current John Travolta was just a chubby, washed-up comedian. Maybe he would be suitable for a soap opera.
Quentin Tarantino spread his hands, "Please believe me, John Travolta has Vincent's blood flowing in his bones;"
"He will definitely give us surprises!"
Aaron didn't have any objections, "With a budget of $8 million, Quentin, you have to deliver a satisfactory answer."
'Reservoir Dogs' was too niche, and Quentin Tarantino's influence was still very small. Even if Aaron knew 'Pulp Fiction' would be successful;
There was no need to give too high a budget!
Quentin Tarantino nodded somewhat seriously, "Don't worry, I will definitely direct with my heart when the time comes."
Moreover, the actors for 'Pulp Fiction' were almost all found. John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Madonna Ciccone, and Christiane Jeri had all been confirmed;
And Bruce Willis, who liked Quentin Tarantino's 'Reservoir Dogs' very much, would also make a cameo appearance in the movie for a very low salary.
"The person playing Mia, Uma Thurman!"
Aaron smiled and glanced at Quentin Tarantino imperceptibly, "Where are you planning to film?"
"Los Angeles, Burbank, the industrial area near Dawn Pictures. There's a suitable bar there. I've been there several times before and think it's very good!"
No mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one appearance, one at a time!
Quentin Tarantino had already chosen the filming location.
"Industrial area, huh? When the time comes, it might be demolished. Dawn is going to build a production base and headquarters building!"
Quentin Tarantino was stunned, "Aaron, it won't be that fast, will it?"
Aaron shook his head, "No, Dawn has to build the headquarters building, studios, warehouses, and recording studios first;"
"The backlot belongs to the second phase. The location of the headquarters building has already started demolition work!"
Quentin Tarantino breathed a sigh of relief, "That bar is an old-fashioned bar, very vintage;"
"It doesn't seem to be within the demolition range, and there's enough time."
Quentin Tarantino knew that Dawn had indeed purchased a piece of land to build a new headquarters, but the current work area was near the Los Angeles River, which was also the future location of Dawn's headquarters building.
"Alright, start filming as soon as possible!"
Aaron said and stood up. An $8 million project was certainly not worth his personal attention;
After so long, he had finally waited for this guy to rise up.
Next year, when 'Pulp Fiction' is released, its black humor and stylized scenes, subversive narrative structure, and postmodern artistic techniques will definitely cause a shock in Hollywood;
When the time comes, Quentin Tarantino's name will resound throughout Hollywood.
An American mainstream movie 'Forrest Gump' plus a subversive 'Pulp Fiction';
Aaron couldn't help but feel excited when he thought about Dawn releasing these two highly influential works next year.
This year, because Dawn released 'Schindler's List' with great fanfare, it had already made Dawn Pictures famous all over the world!
Consecutive Academy Awards for Best Picture for 'The Silence of the Lambs' and 'Schindler's List';
Next, 'Forrest Gump' winning an award will also be uncontroversial. These will all become the foundation and highlights of Dawn Pictures!
