Hollywood starts with a broker

#52 - Independent production is the best choice

With "Pretty Woman" opening in 1,350 theaters across North America, it grossed $12 million at the box office over its opening weekend.

"Pretty Woman" is a lighthearted romantic comedy filled with romance that touched everyone upon its release, leaving a deep impression on audiences.

This book is first published on the entire network by 𝕥 𝕨 𝕜 𝕒 𝕟 . 𝕔 𝕠 𝕞

The love story features an interesting character dynamic: a millionaire and a street prostitute.

The actors' performances are perfect, featuring Al Pacino and Julia Roberts!

Meanwhile, the 62nd Academy Awards were held at the Los Angeles Music Center in downtown Los Angeles.

In the evening, at the Hilton Garden Hotel on Highland Avenue in Hollywood, Aaron Anderson accompanied Jennifer Connelly to meet with producer John Hughes!

"This story is about a smooth-talking young man from a small town who works at a department store. One night, he and the town's most beautiful and wealthy mayor's daughter are locked in the department store together..."

John Hughes narrated from the side, while Aaron flipped through the script of "Career Opportunities," his brow furrowing as he read.

Aaron casually handed the script to Jennifer Connelly beside him, looked at John Hughes, and said, "It's indeed a teen film, but it has too many sexual innuendos. It's basically an R-rated movie."

"It's completely selling Jennifer Connelly's figure and appearance!"

It's not surprising that the screenwriter of "Home Alone" would write such a script; children's and adolescent works are his forte.

John Hughes smiled and said, "Aaron, this is a low-budget romantic comedy from Universal. We have to consider the box office!"

He wasn't surprised to see Jennifer Connelly and Aaron Anderson together; they're both young people.

Moreover, Jennifer Connelly hasn't had a project in a long time, and her popularity and influence are pitifully small.

Aaron shook his head and refused, saying, "Connelly needs to focus on her studies now and isn't suitable for this type of project."

Although it's not as revealing as "The Hot Spot" from last year, this one has quite a few sexually suggestive scenes. It's a pointless R-rated romantic comedy.

Small director, unknown actors, the only highlight is Jennifer Connelly's figure. Since she didn't take "The Hot Spot," there's no need to take this one either.

Jennifer Connelly also returned the script to him, saying, "Mr. Hughes, I'll listen to Aaron!"

John Hughes didn't change much and said, "That's a bit of a pity then."

"By the way, Aaron, congratulations! The prediction results for 'Pretty Woman' are great. Disney made a fortune this time!"

Last year, Aaron Anderson's grandstanding in the CAA lobby was known to many people.

Recently, Warren Beatty and Isabelle Adjani's roadside scandal greatly damaged their images.

Aaron smiled and said, "We still have to wait for summer for 'Dick Tracy' to be released!"

After John Hughes left, Aaron smiled helplessly and said, "See? All the men now are coveting your figure."

Jennifer Connelly sighed and said, "These kinds of scripts are all that's coming my way now!"

Afterward, the two returned to their hotel room, where the Academy Awards ceremony was still being broadcast on TV, just in time for the Best Supporting Actress award.

Actress Julia Roberts was nominated for "Steel Magnolias." Due to the release of "Pretty Woman," her popularity increased rapidly.

Aaron hugged Jennifer Connelly from behind, feeling the girl's 34D, staring at the TV, and asked, "Do you think Julia Roberts is pretty?"

"Pretty, very sexy, especially the way she smiles," Jennifer Connelly replied.

"Don't you think her mouth is just too big?"

Big-mouthed actresses are indeed good, like Anne Hathaway in the future, whom Aaron likes, but this Julia Roberts?

"Well, isn't a big mouth more sexy?"

Jennifer Connelly smiled, turned her head, and kissed Aaron!

"Honey, you're going back to school tomorrow, right?"

Aaron took off her clothes, picked up Jennifer, and went into the bedroom.

"Yes..."

What's so good about watching the Oscars?

As the 62nd Academy Awards came to a successful conclusion, "Driving Miss Daisy" won the Best Picture, Best Actress, and Best Adapted Screenplay awards, making it the biggest winner.

Oliver Stone won Best Director for the film "Born on the Fourth of July."

Daniel Day-Lewis won Best Actor for "My Left Foot."

"Dead Poets Society" won the Best Original Screenplay award.

"Cinema Paradiso" won the Best Foreign Language Film award!

"Pretty Woman" grossed another $13.5 million in its second week, accumulating $32 million in 10 days.

"Phone Booth" has grossed over $20 million in its fourth week of release.

No mistake, one first, one inside, one appearance, one look!

Just after April Fool's Day, Aaron Anderson specially held a celebration party for "Phone Booth" at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Director David Fincher, lead actor Nicolas Cage, actors Adam Sandler, Nicole Kidman, Quentin Tarantino, and Jake Gyllenhaal all came to participate!

"Phone Booth" is definitely a success, after all, Dawn Pictures only spent $1.6 million to film it.

According to the evaluation agency, "Phone Booth" is likely to reach $40 million at the box office.

"Why are you holding a celebration party now?"

Nicole Kidman hugged and kissed Aaron, feeling a little puzzled.

"Next, I'm going to New York. New Line's 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' has just been released. This is a project I handled."

"And I also need to focus on preparing for the 'Ghost' project. I guess I'll be very busy next!"

Edward Zwick and Bruce Joel Rubin just went to Chicago to look for suitable locations. They no longer doubt that Dawn Pictures can independently produce this fantasy romance film.

Aaron actually doesn't really want to accept funding from major studios, because in that case, Aaron would have to convince them to let Nicole Kidman play the lead role.

It's better to have independent production, directly sign a distribution contract with the distributor, fund part of it yourself, and take the distribution contract to the bank to loan part of it, done. This way, you can control the film yourself, without so much nonsense!

"By the way, there are distributors in Australia that we cooperate with, right? You can look for one and I authorize you to sell the Australian distribution rights for 'Phone Booth.'"

"A price between $1.5 million and $2 million will do, for theater screenings, video tapes, and television broadcast rights!"

The international markets that Aaron values, besides Europe, are Japan. The European distribution rights were already sold during the financing.

This time to New York, Aaron plans to sell the Asian distribution rights to a Japanese company. He might have to fly to Japan himself!

"Me?" Nicole Kidman thought for a moment, "Then I have to go back to Australia!"
