Hollywood starts with a broker

After the summer season, September marks the beginning of the fall season. This year, Warner Bros.' adaptation of the DC superhero work "Batman" was the most outstanding performer of the summer, grossing $250 million in North America and $150 million overseas, for a global total of $400 million;

Another notable film was Paramount's sequel, "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," which earned $190 million in North America but a significant $270 million overseas, resulting in a global box office of $460 million!

Meanwhile, Time Inc. announced the acquisition of Warner Communications Group for a total value of $14 billion, forming Time Warner Group with a market value exceeding $18 billion, making it the world's largest media group.

However, this merger was met with a lawsuit from Gulf and Western Industries, the parent company of Paramount, which had previously attempted a hostile takeover of Time Inc., leading to a legal battle between the two parties.

On another front, both the United States and Japan announced that Sony, for $3.4 billion plus the assumption of $1.6 billion in debt, had acquired the major Hollywood studio Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group.

Last year, Sony acquired CBS Records from CBS Broadcasting and renamed it Sony Music. Now, with the acquisition of CBS's film group, they have established Sony Pictures Entertainment Group!

The seven major Hollywood film studios have long been an American cultural symbol, and Sony's successful acquisition of Columbia TriStar Pictures has directly made the "Japanese invasion of Hollywood" a reality.

As a key figure assisting Sony in the acquisition of Columbia TriStar Pictures, CAA Chairman Michael Ovitz also gained considerable fame.

Furthermore, CAA earned a commission of $10 million from the deal!

"This feeling is just fantastic," said Michael Ovitz in his office. As the major contributor to this deal, his confidence was increasingly inflated.

"Michael, another Japanese electronics giant, Panasonic, wants to follow in Sony's footsteps!"

CAA President Ronald Meyer sat on the sofa in the office, smiling as he reminded him.

Michael Ovitz nodded. "I will take a team to Hawaii to meet with a delegation led by Panasonic President Akio Tanii."

"Since we were able to assist Sony in acquiring a major Hollywood studio, we can also assist Panasonic in acquiring another major studio!"

At a restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, Aaron sat in a chair, flipping through a newspaper.

The news was about Sony's acquisition of Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group.

"Akio Morita and Norio Ohga are indeed invincible. CAA seems to have only provided some advice and networking resources, without fully participating in the acquisition, and they earned $10 million?"

Aaron muttered to himself. No wonder Michael Ovitz has been acting differently lately. Moreover, the latest issue of "Premiere" magazine directly listed him as the most powerful person in Hollywood.

Michael Ovitz must have played a significant role in promoting the deal. Next, Panasonic's acquisition of MCA Group, the parent company of Universal, will be CAA's moment of glory.

Subsequently, Aaron also paid attention to the information of the Venice Film Festival, which was currently being held!

At noon, he arrived at Los Angeles International Airport to pick up Nicole Kidman, who was returning from the set of "Wild at Heart" in Wilmington, North Carolina.

Because CAA was hosting a banquet at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel in the evening, Aaron specifically asked Nicole Kidman to accompany him.

"Mmm," Back at the apartment in West Hollywood, the two embraced and kissed.

"Recently, when I wasn't around, did you have trouble sleeping at night?"

On the sofa, Nicole Kidman sat in Aaron's arms, with a mischievous smile on her face.

"It's okay," Aaron said, feeling the warmth and softness in his arms. "You're not overseas, I can fly to your place anytime!"

"How's the filming going?"

"It's okay. Director David Lynch's filming speed isn't very fast. "Wild at Heart" probably won't wrap up until late November."

"That's alright, it's an independent film, the production cycle isn't that rigid," Aaron said, looking at Nicole Kidman in his arms. "Do you want to rest for a while?"

"That's not necessary," Nicole Kidman also shook her head. "By the way, isn't it the Venice Film Festival now? Didn't you go over there?"

"There aren't any good films that I'm interested in. Besides, I'm currently considering the script for "Ghost.""

Castle Rock Entertainment's first film, "When Harry Met Sally...", is a low-budget romantic comedy.

Since its release in July, the box office has already exceeded $70 million!

His script, "Ghost," is much better than "When Harry Met Sally..."

"Have you found a director or stars? Otherwise, it will be difficult to get investment!"

Nicole Kidman understands these things. Although Aaron Anderson's reputation at CAA has grown recently, it is still difficult for him to lead a proper film project.

Aaron frowned. "Ghost" requires a lot of funding, not just a few million dollars.

Michael Kuhn of PolyGram, Robert Shaye of New Line, he could try them, and even contact Golden Harvest.

Mainly on the Japanese side, Aaron really doesn't know anyone, and also, Aaron doesn't want to hand over the script to CAA for packaging!

"Don't always frown. How long have you been in the entertainment industry? You're too impatient!"

Nicole Kidman said, and kissed Aaron on the face.

Aaron smiled, then rubbed Nicole's body a few times. "What, you don't even want to wait until tonight?"

"Well, it's still early," her fiery red lips approached Aaron's ear, and she breathed softly. "Darling, have you had other women recently?"

"Now that I have you, it's hard for other women to catch my eye."

Without error, one first, one issue, one content, one exist, one one look!

As Aaron spoke, he thought of Jennifer Connelly, who was studying at Stanford University, also a sexy beauty!

"Then for so long, you haven't come to the set in Wilmington to find me. How can a vigorous man like you stand it?"

"Before, when I was with you, I was exhausted by you!"

Having said that, how could Aaron endure it?

"Ah," amidst the other party's exclamation, he picked up Nicole Kidman in his arms and headed to the bedroom.

On the wide, soft bed, amidst passionate kisses, Nicole Kidman quickly stripped off their clothes...

In the evening, Aaron Anderson appeared with a radiant Nicole Kidman at the CAA banquet at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel.

CAA's facilitation of Sony's acquisition of Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group was certainly worth celebrating!

"There are so many people here," the beautiful Nicole Kidman took Aaron's arm, noticing many heavyweight figures in the banquet hall.

"There are quite a few. Let's go, Ms. Paula Wagner is over there, let's go over first!"

Aaron put his arm around Nicole's waist, preparing to greet Paula Wagner first.
