Chapter 10 A video store
In Aaron's apartment in West Hollywood, Nicole Kidman came and knocked on the door early in the morning.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Can't you just call me?" Aaron welcomed her into the house in a somewhat listless manner.
"I'll go wash up. There's something to drink in the refrigerator, take it yourself. If you want coffee, make it yourself..."
Nicole Kidman was stunned for a moment. Is this the attitude to treat guests?
Just as she opened her mouth to say something, she saw that he had already gone into the bathroom.
More than ten minutes later, Aaron Anderson, who had just finished washing up, came to Nicole and said, "Tell me, what's the matter that brings you here so early in the morning?"
Nicole Kidman held her forehead with her hand and said, "It's the preview, you were the one who informed me about it. Warner Bros. is holding a film screening for "Over the Horizon"!"
"That was in the evening, it's still early now," Aaron glanced at the woman, "Can you please stop doubting my professionalism?"
Nicole Kidman said helplessly, "You signed me for more than half a month, and you didn't even call to care about my career!"
Not only Nicole Kidman, but also Steven Soderbergh. Aaron was too lazy to care about it. After all, both of them were newcomers and there were not many activities.
Aaron shook his head and went into the study to get a few pages of paper. "This is a romantic comedy that Disney is preparing. I am quite optimistic about the story. I am also trying to find a way."
Nicole Kidman took it and looked at it. "This shouldn't be a script, right?"
"It's not complete. Disney won't release this kind of script. The script must be revised." Aaron shook his head. In Hollywood now, the competition is too fierce. The heroine really can't do without some connections.
"I heard that you seem to have bought a script yourself," Nicole Kidman's eyes were burning. She is now a little transparent, but if it is a project of her own agent, can the heroine still run away?
"That is what I kept for my own development. Where do I have the resources now?"
Aaron is mainly not famous now, a newcomer, but when Steven Soderbergh's work "Sex, Lies and Videotape" makes a big splash at the Cannes Film Festival, Aaron's reputation will definitely increase in the circle!
"Then, for this project, can you help me get an audition opportunity?" Nicole Kidman raised the few pages of paper in her hand.
Aaron nodded, "Okay, I've been working on this project recently, don't worry!"
"Let's go out and have something to eat, and I'll take you to change your hairstyle."
Aaron really couldn't stand Nicole Kidman's instant noodle hairstyle.
"Is my hairstyle not good-looking?"
"Well, it doesn't match your looks and figure!"
"Aaron, you have good conditions, why don't you develop in the direction of an artist?"
"I can't stand being angry..."
At noon, Aaron took Nicole Kidman to a styling shop, and after saying some requirements, he was ready to go out for a walk.
"Nicole, do your hair first, I'll pick you up later!"
"Okay..."
Then, Aaron left the shop and found a small audio-visual store nearby, so he walked in.
Nowadays, audio-visual stores mainly sell and rent movie videotapes, laser discs, and music has vinyl records, discs and tapes, etc., there are not many types of movies and singers.
"Wow, ha," suddenly, Aaron heard the sound of a TV coming from the counter and walked over to take a look.
Hey, a Hong Kong Kung Fu movie. A young man with a very special look is staring at the TV screen intently in front of the TV.
"Oh, sir, do you need help?" The visitor heard the voice and stood up to greet the guest. It seems that he has not forgotten his duties.
Aaron blinked his eyes. This appearance is too abstract. Isn't it Quentin Tarantino?
However, Quentin is less than 30 years old now, but he is indeed ugly!
"This is an old-fashioned kung fu movie from Hong Kong. I didn't expect that anyone in the United States would like it?" Aaron laughed and pointed to the videotape on TV.
"Yes, I like it very much. This is a work of Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong. I like this kind of macho and fist-to-flesh picture!"
Aaron nodded, "It's pretty good. Now Hollywood ranks first in film exports, and Hong Kong ranks second in the world, but it will soon be destroyed. You know, Hong Kong is a city with only six million people, they are just too much dependent on Taiwan, Japan and other south Asian countries."
Hollywood now produces about 400 to 500 movies a year, and it is estimated that half of them can be released in theaters!
"Oh, it seems you know something about Hong Kong movies?"
"Not bad," Aaron said, and stretched out his hand, "CAA's agent, Aaron Anderson!"
The other party was stunned for a moment, "You are CAA's agent!"
He shook Aaron's hand, "Hello, I'm Quentin Tarantino, a movie lover."
"Well, I can see that working in a video store allows you to watch as many movies as you want. It's a good idea," Aaron said, looking at him, and he knows how to choose a job.
"Well," Quentin Tarantino looked at Aaron a little embarrassed, "Your agent can also promote the script, right?"
"Of course, two months ago, I helped a new director promote a movie "Sex, Lies and Videotape" at the St. Denis Film Festival. It will be exhibited in Cannes in May. You can pay attention to it!"
Aaron said casually.
"Uh, that's right, I have made short films myself before, and I have also conceived scripts. Do you want to take a look?"
"Uh, you can write scripts?" Aaron deliberately looked at Quentin Tarantino.
Quentin Tarantino nodded, "I have conceived two scripts. Do you want to see them?"
"Okay," Aaron handed him a business card, "Call me when you are ready and show me. I will help you sell it."
"If possible, you can also sign with me. If you sell the script, I can support you to make movies and become a director in the future!"
Quentin Tarantino nodded quickly, with a festive look on his face, "Next month, I can organize the two scripts and show them to you then."
"My dream is to make movies and become a director to make the works I like!"
"Well, people must have dreams," Aaron patted him on the shoulder, "You can check my news. I should be mentioned in the newspaper about this year's St. Denis Film Festival."
"Don't worry, it's good that you can help me sell the script," Quentin Tarantino sent Aaron out of the video store.
"See you later, prepare the script well, and I will support you to be a director in the future," Aaron waved to Quentin Tarantino at the door.
"See you later!" Quentin Tarantino was obviously a little excited.
After leaving the video store, Aaron pinched his face. Nicole Kidman and Quentin Tarantino.
Is his luck changing now?
