Hollywood starts with a broker

After the establishment of Dawn Films, Aaron immediately began filming "Phone Booth," and with the assistance of David Fincher and Propaganda, progress was swift.

Simply put, the scenes for "Phone Booth" were too simple.

Downtown Los Angeles, on Broadway across from Grand Central Market, Aaron and David Fincher were scouting locations, and even Quentin Tarantino, who was working at a video store, came along.

"Across the street is the Bradbury Building, this location is pretty good," David Fincher had been studying the script for days, and the location he chose had to have some high-rise buildings.

Los Angeles only has some high-rise buildings near downtown.

Aaron looked around, "If not, we can go to New York!"

New York has many high-rise buildings, and the environment is very suitable.

The investment for "Phone Booth" is between 1.5 million and 2 million US dollars, and David Fincher and Nicolas Cage's salaries alone are 500,000 US dollars.

Aaron has 1 million US dollars himself, and he plans to find European distributors for the rest. The script has already been sent to PolyGram.

People from Propaganda also think this script is good and believe that PolyGram is also willing to participate.

Quentin Tarantino looked around, "When filming, it's best to capture the real reactions of the extras, it will create a more tense atmosphere!"

Quentin Tarantino's opening is a very creative idea.

David Fincher agreed, "This way, there will be minimal traces of acting, and it will be the most realistic."

Quentin Tarantino smiled, "For the role of the sniper, do you want me to try it? This guy is an observer, a voyeur, and a sadist with a dark sense of humor;"

"I think it's quite interesting!"

"A phone booth killer, only shows his face for two or three minutes in the entire movie, mainly the voice and tone, that is, the voice, can you do it?"

Aaron doesn't really care, because the voice of the phone booth killer can be dubbed later, just choose a suitable one.

David Fincher smiled, "You can let Quentin try it!"

Anyway, Quentin Tarantino appears in the crew as an assistant director. David Fincher has been in contact with him during this period, and he always has some wild ideas.

"Well, you guys decide, and Nicolas Cage has also been negotiated with. I will raise the remaining funds as soon as possible;"

"You guys just need to perfect the crew!"

Aaron also thought of it, Quentin Tarantino's psychology is indeed extraordinary, with a bit of a perverted taste.

Now that Thanksgiving has just passed, it's almost December. Aaron needs to finalize the distributor as soon as possible. He doesn't know if this "Phone Booth" can make it to the Sundance Film Festival?

Letting Quentin Tarantino experience the filming of a movie will also be very helpful to him. As for Steven Soderbergh's style, he is really not suitable for this type right now.

New York, backstage at the premiere of "Born on the Fourth of July."

Paula Wagner ran into Michael Ovitz, who came to participate in the event, after chatting with director Oliver Stone and lead actor Tom Cruise for a while!

"I heard that Aaron Anderson left CAA and started his own film company to make movies?"

Michael Ovitz often travels between the United States and Japan and has also heard about this.

Paula Wagner spread her hands, "There is such a situation, a low-budget drama, and he's even looking for a new director!"

"New director?" Michael Ovitz just smiled, "What has Steven Soderbergh been busy with lately?"

After Aaron Anderson left, his artists were assigned by Paula Wagner, but everyone only valued Steven Soderbergh.

"He went to Europe a while ago and has reportedly been staying in France!"

"Young people, they can't hold their breath. They get a big head after having a little success," Paula Wagner also sighed.

"He used all the money he earned from CAA this year to invest in a new movie."

Michael Ovitz was stunned, "Using his own money to make a movie?"

"He doesn't think that just finding a new director to make a movie will be the next 'Sex, Lies, and Videotape,' does he?"

"Who knows?"

"Forget it, young people like to venture out on their own, they take Hollywood too simply and making movies too simply."

Michael Ovitz was just a little regretful, but Aaron Anderson's importance had not yet reached the point where he couldn't forget him.

"Forget it, let's not talk about him," Michael Ovitz also knew that Aaron Anderson had offended Warren Beatty and others;

Now that he has left CAA, it makes Dustin Hoffman, whom he values, feel comfortable.

"'Born on the Fourth of July' received very high praise in previous test screenings. Tom's subversive performance has received a lot of praise;"

"Taking advantage of the current awards season, we should plan carefully!"

Paula Wagner nodded, "We all hope Tom can win an award."

As December arrived, the end of the year was approaching, and many works rushing for the awards season were released.

At the same time, the lawsuit between Gulf and Western Industries and Time Warner also came to a result. The Supreme Court ruled that Time Inc.'s acquisition of Warner Communications did not violate regulations!

West Hollywood, Aaron's apartment.

Nicole Kidman lay on the bed, her snow-white body lying on Aaron's body, "Now that you've left CAA, Ms. Paula Wagner has assigned me a female agent, I guess there won't be any resources again."

Not only Nicole Kidman, but also Adam Sandler. As for Quentin Tarantino and Jennifer Connelly, they are even more miserable, basically no one cares.

Only Aaron's good friend Jack Welles has been paying attention to them. Only Steven Soderbergh is valued by Paula Wagner.

Aaron smiled, "CAA has signed a lot of new actors now, it's a laissez-faire management style. With me around, what are you afraid of?"

"Look at Quentin Tarantino, after finishing his work at the video store, he came directly to my Dawn Company;"

"Jennifer Connelly is mainly focused on her studies. She will guest star in a movie in Italy next year. It is estimated that there will be no development in the next two or three years!"

Nicole Kidman propped up her head, "You seem to value Quentin Tarantino quite a bit?"

Aaron nodded, "Yeah, this guy has some talent, I'm very optimistic about his future!"

Of course, Aaron is even more optimistic about David Fincher, the new director of "Phone Booth."

"You've invested all your money in the movie, aren't you worried about losing everything?"

"Losing everything?" Aaron's tone was casual, "Although I left CAA, 'Pretty Woman' and 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,' which will be released next year, are both projects I handled;"

"Especially 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,' if it performs well after its release, Golden Harvest will also have a considerable income. CAA will also have to pay me a share of the subsequent commissions!"

"Pretty Woman" doesn't have a deep relationship with him, but if it becomes a phenomenon, how could Disney not give him some reward?

"Yeah," Nicole Kidman smiled and took the initiative to kiss Aaron.

"Nicole, aren't you going to sleep yet?" Aaron is going to meet with Michael Kuhn of PolyGram tomorrow.

"What's wrong, are you not up to it?"

"Heh, woman!" Aaron turned over and pressed Nicole Kidman down, a storm arose...
