Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 684 Princess Anne
Will Smith won three awards at the American Music Awards (AMA) last January: Favorite Soul/R&B Album, Favorite Pop/Rock Album, and Favorite Soul/R&B Male Artist.

In January of this year, Will Smith won the American Music Awards (AMA) for Favorite Male Rock Artist!
However, the epic flop "Wild West" starring Will Smith last year did not stop him, and his new film "The Legend of Beg Vince" this year is also a rare non-action film for him.

In the afternoon, Aaron and his assistant, Etherine Beckett, went to a Turkish restaurant near the Burbank Dawn Studios for lunch.

“This is a great location, with Dawn Studios and Disney Studios on either side,” Aaron said. Dawn Studios has been expanding, as has Disney’s headquarters.

Burbank is home to many film production studios, including Disney, Dawn, Warner Bros., ABC, and CBS.

Paramount remained in Hollywood, Sony was in Culver City, MGM was in Santa Monica, and 20th Century Fox was always in Century City!
However, Dawn currently uses Universal Studios' Universal Studios the most, since Universal Studios has more than 30 sound stages.

"Boss, house prices in Burbank have increased significantly compared to a few years ago!"

Aaron smiled. "Don't worry, it'll go up some more."

After the food arrived, Aaron complained, "Of all the food in the world, Asia has Chinese food, Europe has French food, and the only other option is Turkish food that's even remotely appealing."

"Does such a large country as the United States not have any decent food?"

Etherine Beckett smiled without saying a word. Her boss scoffed at typical American foods like hamburgers and hot dogs, describing them as "pig feed"!
"Hey, that looks like director Gary Marshall."

Etherine Beckett suddenly spoke up.

Aaron looked over and saw that it was indeed director Gary Marshall. "Is he making a film for Disney?"

"Pretty Woman" and "Runaway Bride" are classic romantic films he directed, which launched the career of American sweetheart Julia Roberts!

"Oh, I remember now, it seems like director Gary Marshall was filming 'The Princess Diaries,' adapted from the novel of the same name by young author Meg Cabot;"

"Meg Cabot's series of novels are very popular among teenagers, and The Princess Diaries is a Cinderella-style high school romance novel!"

It is clear that Etherine Beckett was also very familiar with the Disney project next door.

Dawn Pictures, its own production company, has also produced many romance films, and Nicole Kidman is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary.

But now that she's getting older, Nicole Kidman isn't as keen on making these kinds of films anymore; Drew Barrymore's "Kiss Me" from last year was pretty good, though.

"When it comes to princesses, Disney is definitely the expert," Aaron shook his head. If you're talking about who's best at cultivating princesses, it's definitely Disney.

After the meal, Aaron sent Athenae Beckett back to the company, and then drove away!
On the roadside, Aaron in the car saw a woman with bright eyes and white teeth, and skin as white as snow waiting for the car. She was tall and slender, with a pure and beautiful appearance, and was easily recognized.

"Hello, where are you going?" Aaron stopped the car and asked.

“Ah, Mr. Anderson,” the woman’s face instantly lit up with a sweet and charming smile, “I’m going to Santa Monica!”

"Get in, I'll give you a ride!" The woman thought for a moment, said "thank you," and got into the car.

"My name is Anne Hathaway, and I'm a Hollywood actress!"

Aaron smiled. "Ha, I could tell!"

"Yes, we're filming a movie at the Disney studio next to Dawn. We just got back from the San Francisco studio."

Anne Hathaway is already 18 years old and is considered a newcomer to the industry. She made an appearance in a TV series last year, and unexpectedly, she auditioned for Disney's "The Princess Diaries" and was immediately selected by director Gary Marshall to play the lead role!
Aaron was also somewhat surprised. "You mean, *The Princess Diaries* is your first film?"

"And then, you played the female lead in your debut film?"

Anne Hathaway nodded. "Yes, I was lucky. After my audition for the scene where I fell off the chair, director Gary Marshall said my performance was excellent, very funny yet a little clumsy."

"It perfectly matched his vision for the role, so he cast me as the female lead!"

“I see,” Aaron couldn’t help but admire her; Anne Hathaway’s appearance was absolutely impeccable.
To land the lead role in Gary Marshall's new film right after her debut—there are very few people in Hollywood who can match that starting point.
Upon arriving in Santa Monica, Anne Hathaway looked at Aaron with great gratitude. "Mr. Anderson, thank you for your help. I think any woman would be excited to ride in your car!"

Aaron nodded. "Do you have time? How about we grab a drink tonight?"

Anne Hathaway nodded. "Okay, I need to get some things for my mom first."

"Then, I'll pick you up at seven tonight!"

Aaron then saved Anne Hathaway's phone number and drove away.

Anne Hathaway didn't come to her senses until Aaron Anderson's BMW Z3 disappeared from sight, and she was incredibly excited!
Aaron Anderson truly fulfills every woman's fantasy: not only is he successful and handsome, but he's also in his prime, and newspapers say he's down-to-earth and very amiable.
Although Anne Hathaway only spent about half an hour with the other person, the feeling he gave her was indeed as gentle as the morning sun!

It's important to know that Aaron Anderson is now the undisputed number one in Hollywood, and in terms of status, he's even more impressive than Louis Mayer was back then.
In terms of wealth, he is even more astonishing than Howard Hughes was back then.

"I'm really looking forward to our date tonight!"

Anne Hathaway shook her head, her thick, flowing hair making her look like a princess.

For a young actress like her, she was completely unable to resist Aaron Anderson's charm!
After leaving Santa Monica, Aaron went to the MPAA headquarters in Beverly Hills and met with MPAA President Jack Valentine.

As a bridge between Washington and Hollywood, the MPAA is certainly politically conscious, and with the US presidential election in its final stretch, Jack Valentine wants to know Aaron's thoughts.

After all, Clinton had a very good attitude towards Hollywood, and the MPAA needs to prepare for what the new president will do.
The MPAA must fight for Hollywood's rightful interests!
