Hollywood starts with a broker
#94 - Be professional
As 1991 arrived, the multinational forces led by the United States were assembled and ready to attack Iraq!
On Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles, two groups of people were facing off, one supporting the war and the invasion of Iraq, and the other being an anti-war group.
Aaron was leaning against a nearby car, munching on a carrot, while Jack Wills next to him was enjoying a cheeseburger.
"Aaron, what's wrong with you? Are you trying to turn into a rabbit?"
Jack Wills didn't understand why Aaron had no interest in hamburgers, hot dogs, or donuts.
Aaron rolled his eyes. "I told you to pay attention when you were studying. Do you know what vitamins are?"
"What I'm eating is!"
"Okay," Jack Wills took another bite of the burger in his hand, and then picked up the cola next to him and took a big gulp, letting out a burp.
"There aren't many anti-war people. Look, those pro-war people are too fanatical, and they completely overwhelm them in terms of momentum."
Aaron finished the carrot in his hand, took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and didn't forget to comment.
Jack Wills shook his head. "It's still the result of good publicity. President Bush's diplomatic achievements have been too successful!"
How could it not be successful? He settled Panama, controlled the Panama Canal, Germany was unified and became a major contributor after joining NATO, and it could also contain France. The Soviet Union is also a mess now, and the United States has become the global hegemon.
Aaron smiled. "However, Bush doesn't understand economics. The economy wasn't very good last year!"
"Alright, the Angel Theater is renovated. I'll take you to see it."
Jack Wills stretched.
Aaron nodded. "Let's go."
After several months of renovation, the Angel Theater became a tiered cinema with two halls, each with 120 seats, one-third of which are love seats!
When they arrived at the Angel Theater on Fountain Avenue in West Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino was also there.
Copies of "Boyz n the Hood", "The Silence of the Lambs", and "Ghost" were all available here.
"Jack, when you do the screening of 'Boyz n the Hood' tonight, remember to prepare some gifts for the film critics and media people;"
"Also, arrange for some ordinary people, the kind who are good at emotional performances, to have rich expressions after watching the movie!"
If the Angel Theater were bigger, Aaron would have liked to hold the premiere here, but arranging a screening event is also good.
There are film critics, media reporters, and of course, performing audiences.
Jack Wills nodded. "It's all been arranged. I've found some audience members who have been on TV shows. Don't worry, they are very professional!"
"That's good," Aaron was also doing his best. Movies need publicity.
"Aaron, this is the script I prepared. Do you want to take a look first?"
At this time, Quentin Tarantino also walked over with his script draft.
Aaron was about to take it, but when he saw the messy words scribbled on the paper, he said, "Forget it, just tell me directly!"
Quentin Tarantino smiled and sat down directly. "It's like this, the story is about a group of robbers who encounter the police when they rob a bank. After escaping, several people engage in a series of psychological and physical contests over their respective identities;"
"These robbers were gathered by a black boss, seemingly unrelated to each other, and they each use six different colors to represent their identities;"
"But an accident occurred during the process, resulting in two deaths and one injury. The remaining people returned to the base and began to suspect whether there was an undercover agent..."
Aaron knocked on the table. "Your script is really a first draft?"
"Yeah, it is. There are still many witty dialogues with black humor in it. I have to find someone to help me improve the script!"
Quentin Tarantino's current script is just a first draft, far from a complete script.
"Okay, then you can go to Jessica and pre-pay $100,000 to get the script done first, and then we can discuss the filming."
"OK, I have friends, and we will improve the script together then," Quentin Tarantino certainly had no objections, and Jessica Parker was the finance manager of Dawn Films.
"By the way, do you have a movie title yet?"
"Yes, it's called 'Reservoir Dogs'!"
"'Reservoir Dogs'?" Jack Wills looked puzzled. "What does that mean?"
"What does it mean?" Quentin Tarantino shrugged with a smile. "It's mainly because I like the old movie 'Straw Dogs' directed by Sam Peckinpah, and there's also a French reservoir movie;"
"Combining the two, that's why I came up with this name!"
Not only was Jack Wills confused, but Aaron Anderson was also confused.
Although Aaron didn't understand what Quentin was talking about, he still nodded. "Well, I also think the name 'Reservoir Dogs' is very cool!"
"When making a movie, you still have to get a complete script out first."
Well, for a movie genius like Quentin Tarantino, it is indeed difficult for outsiders to understand. Just let him do it his way.
In the evening, at a bar in West Hollywood.
Aaron ran into Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix. "My Own Private Idaho" had finished filming in Portland!
"The movie is going smoothly. Next, we'll go to Italy for some location shooting, and the subsequent filming location will be in Idaho."
Keanu Reeves has starred in the comedy movie "Bill \u0026 Ted's Excellent Adventure" series in the past two years, and has accumulated some fame. His commercial attributes are much higher than River Phoenix, who has been working in low-budget art films.
Of course, Keanu Reeves' figure and appearance are also beyond River Phoenix's reach.
In terms of acting skills, Keanu Reeves is not as good as River Phoenix, but in other aspects, he is stronger than him.
Aaron nodded, raised his glass and clinked it with the two of them. "'My Own Private Idaho' has a high artistic component, and director Gus Van Sant values this work very much;"
"I guess it won't be too fast to film!"
River Phoenix lit a cigarette. "We also like this movie very much, and we want to show our best side."
"Well, I'm going to the bathroom," Aaron looked at this guy and couldn't help it again. This cigarette smells like it's been spiked.
After Aaron Anderson left, Keanu Reeves also lit one, took a deep breath, and had a hazy expression.
Smiling, "River, why do you think Aaron doesn't like these things?"
Since they started filming "My Own Private Idaho" together, they have become good friends who can talk about anything.
River Phoenix thought for a while, "I don't know the specific reason, but I heard that his father committed suicide on the Golden Gate Bridge two years ago;"
"I think it should be influenced by these things. You know, the closest person died because of this kind of thing, and he will resist it from the bottom of his heart!"
"Well, maybe? By the way, is Depp still in Los Angeles?"
River Phoenix shook his head. "I haven't been in touch recently. He is busy with the promotion and promotion of 'Edward Scissorhands'!"
"Edward Scissorhands" was nominated for Best Actor in the Musical/Comedy category at the Golden Globe Awards.
On the other side, Aaron came to the bathroom and washed his face, and was also speechless. These two guys probably can't live without marijuana?
