Exploitation Hollywood 1980

Ronald took over the newspaper, and Sisko's film review in the "Chicago Tribune" didn't have much problem, maintaining his ratings and reviews on the TV show. At best, it means that Ronald's movies don't have much art. depth.

The problem was with the Chicago Sun-Times. The PR beauty turned the newspaper to the page of Roger Ebert's film review column and said, "Look, there is a big problem with this film review."

One star for "fast-paced Richmond High School", not recommended.

Ronald looked at the title, frowned, and continued reading.

"How could they do this to Jennifer Jason Leigh? How could they put such a fresh and cheerful girl in such a trashy movie? Don't they know they have a star on their hands?"

Ronald had a look of disgust on his face. This "they" were obviously scolding him as the director.

"When I walked into the theater to see 'Richmond High,' I didn't even know who Jennifer was, but I was totally smitten with her. And then, she was with everyone in this 'so-called comedy.' The actors were all thrown into the vulgar plot by the director."

"Let me be clear. I have nothing against vulgarity as the subject of a comedy film... and the director of this film, who has an 'absolute talent' for turning vulgarity into embarrassment, is artistically blind."

"What the hell did I offend this lunatic? Is there something wrong with him?" Ronald was so angry that he threw the newspaper down and asked the PR beauty, "Why did he say that to me?"

"Keep reading, this is the key." The beauty picked up the newspaper, handed it to Ronald again, and then pointed to the next few paragraphs.

"The film is a teen sexploitation film, with some of the humor coming from teenagers' embarrassment about sex. However, the film is so obscene that teen audiences couldn't stand it.

I went to a sneak preview of the film hosted by a rock radio station. The audience was all rock fans, and some of the movie's plots were disgusting even to rock fans. There is a difference between a teen exploitation film and a gynecologist's educational film. "

Ronald laughed angrily. This Albert was like a shrew, viciously slandering and attacking himself in the newspaper. This was obviously not a simple personal grudge.

He then looked down. Whose dirty money did Albert take to pour dirty water on himself? In the end, the truth would be revealed.

"The cast of the movie struggled heroically in this trashy movie. Rarely have I seen so many talented young actors cast into such a boring drama.

For example, Jennifer Jason Leigh plays a young student. She's very curious about men and women, so the script immediately turns her into a slut who will sleep with anyone. We have to see her being humiliated, Disappointment and embarrassment.

The director is a complete sexist. From time to time, he pretends to insert plots about pregnancy and abortion, falsely showing concern for women.

But for the most part, the director just tries to walk a tightrope between a teen comedy and a cheesy exploitation film that exploits talented actors.

But the movie could have been funnier if it hadn't mixed vulgarity with humor. Just like director John Landis did in his movie "Animal House" a few years ago..."

"Aha," Ronald exclaimed in a weird voice. He suddenly inserted a compliment to Landis. It didn't seem too abrupt. This bastard still knew how to use a typewriter.

Landis's "Animal House" was filmed by National Lampoon magazine and is full of vulgar jokes. How could it be more advanced than his own movie?

After all, "Fast Pace" is a true reflection of the life of high school students, with a slight exaggeration. The name "Animal House" is a satire that college students' dormitories look like pig houses. The nudity scenes in it are so unscrupulous that he actually thinks that movie is more

There is style, but who is blind?

"Jennifer Jason Leigh looks so young, fresh, cheerful and innocent...and Sean Penn and Phoebe Cates all contributed good acting skills.

The entire movie is a failure in taste, tone and editing - a good actor wasted on an objectionable plot, and the studio should have replaced it with a director with a proven comedic talent..."

"John Landis? Isn't he and Jennifer fighting the case of Vic Morrow's accidental death? What does Albert mean by writing this?"

Ronald finished reading the movie review, put it down and asked the PR beauty.

He was a little confused. Albert praised the acting skills of several leading actors, especially the heroine Jennifer, and then disparaged his own directing ability. He also suggested that John Landis should be the director. After all, he

Which side is it from?

"Although he obviously praised Jennifer's acting skills to a very high level, he tried his best to disparage the movie, which is still very detrimental to the box office in the central market. I will report it to Universal Headquarters to discuss countermeasures.

In addition, we need to talk to Jennifer first, is there any influence from her family?"

I asked Jennifer, who was still catching up on sleep, and she didn't know why Albert was praising herself and Landis while trying to belittle Ronald.

"I don't know her at all, and I haven't asked my agent to do any film reviews. I've been busy with my father's affairs recently."

Jennifer tried her best to clarify that she was not satisfied with this movie review. Although it praised her a lot, if the movie is not a hit, what good will it do to the actress's career?

Albert is just a film critic, not a director. His so-called appreciation of his acting skills is worthless in the industry.

"It's okay, Jennifer, this is none of your business. I'm just here to confirm. I'll be interviewed by a Chicago TV station later. Don't be affected."

The PR beauty also pulled Jennifer aside and began to tell her tips on how to avoid answering sensitive questions. This movie review was released this morning, and she will definitely be asked by reporters during interviews about the movie.

Ronald waited for the two of them to finish talking, then returned with the PR beauty to the suite where the interview was to be arranged, and closed the door.

They both made phone calls.

Ronald called his agent Niceta to report that he had been innocently and viciously attacked.

The beauty from the public relations department also called the secretary of Universal Vice President Ned Tanin. He had promised that if there were any problems in the promotion of the movie, she could contact him.

After a while, Tanin called first.

"Before Tom Mount resigned, he listed $20,000 in public relations expenses to sponsor the Chicago Film Critics Association conference, including two vacation trips to Hawaii."

"Yeah...I know."

"This bastard. He even resigned and started causing trouble. This money was probably used to pay off the Chicago film critic circle. They probably wanted to promote Jennifer and suppress Ronald at the same time. Let Jennifer sue Spielberg.

Pull et alien box office."

The PR beauty knew exactly what little tricks Mount had done before his downfall.

"But what happened with Landis?"

Then there was a call back from caa's agent Niceta.

"There's also the tactic of attorney John Landis, who is trying desperately to patch things up with Moreau's two daughters and avoid criminal prosecution. He's asking their mother to let Moreau's two daughters participate in his next film, Jennifer

As the protagonist, her sister is the associate producer.

But now he has become a target. Morrow's family plans to settle with the producer represented by Spielberg, and Landis will also bear criminal liability for investigation. The National Transportation Safety Board (ntsb), and the Federal Aviation Administration

(faa) have separately launched independent accident liability investigations.

The insurance company also blamed Landis for the witness's accusation that it was Landis who ordered the pyrotechnicians to make the explosion bigger and for the helicopter to "fly lower." This was the reason why Landis had to bear most of the civil compensation.

Anyway, he's finished."

"Jennifer has asked her family and lawyers to quietly settle with Spielberg. He will not appear on the defendant list." Ronald said what he learned.

"This is a good thing. Steven is now the baby of Hollywood and everyone must protect him.

The latest news I heard is that Steven has broken off relations with John Landis after learning of the Landis lawyer's tactics to drag him down. He refuses to appear in any of the same projects as Landis and refuses to accept

His phone number is up.

Maybe the film critic is not that well-informed, and Albert doesn't know about these latest changes," Niceta said.

"Well, that's bad luck for him. I'll retaliate rudely, and Universal will arrange a group interview with the newspaper for me."

"Take it easy, Ronald. After all, criticizing the director is one of the film critic's prerogatives. This is not a personal grudge."

"No, didn't you read his movie review? He called me a sexist person. This is already a personal grudge."

"This?" Ronald heard Niceta scolding the intern over the phone for not finding the reporting materials in time, "He said that to you? You bastard."

"Yes, let me read you a paragraph..."

Ronald read out Ebert's personal attack again, "This director is a complete sexist. He pretends to be... from time to time, hypocritical concern... Did you hear it? Did you hear it clearly?"

After hearing this, Niceta also became angry.

By viciously attacking a director contracted by CAA, does this show any respect for a new company with a rising talent agency?

Well, it’s true that he doesn’t need to respect CAA that much. Sometimes CAA has to bribe him to give a movie a proper review.

But these words have exceeded the language a film critic should use, especially for projects from the seven major Hollywood studios. Do these film critics still have respect for capital?

"What is Universal's plan? What do you plan to do?"

"I'll beat the shit out of him."

By the afternoon, the Sun's film review had spread throughout the Chicago media. All newspapers and media, invited and not invited, gathered at the hotel to interview director Ronald about his reaction to Ebert's film review.

After all, it’s rare to see a film review criticizing a blockbuster film from seven major studios by name. Now there is a director personally responding...

"Director Ronald will accept your joint interview, and then there will be interview time for the two heroines we have booked..."

"Who is interviewing the heroine at this time? We want to hear the director's response." The reporters gathered in a small suite, waiting for Ronald to appear.

"Director Ronald,

Ronald!

director!"

When the media saw Ronald appearing in front of them, they became excited and crowded forward.

"This is a reporter from the Tribune." The publicist asked everyone to calm down and clicked on the familiar reporter's name.

"Director Ronald, what do you think of some critics' evaluations of your movie?"

"I suspect that some of the film critics you mentioned have not gone to the cinema to see my film. Maybe they read plot excerpts from tabloids and were deceived by the distorted plots used to attract attention."

"Hey, you can't slander Mr. Roger Ebert like that. He always writes movie reviews after watching movies in person." A reporter from the Sun newspaper expressed some admiration for Ebert and defended him.

"It's not your turn yet." The PR beauty tried to stop him.

"It doesn't matter. Then he must not have understood my movie. As a film critic, his understanding ability is not up to par. I can provide a movie ticket and ask him to watch it again."

"What do you think about Roger calling you a sexist?" A reporter from another newspaper also ignored peer etiquette and directly named Albert.

"I think he is a discriminator."

"You can't say that about Mr. Abbott." The Sun reporter began to argue again.

"So he can say that about me casually?" Ronald glanced at the reporter, reached out to the PR beauty, asked for a copy of the Chicago Sun-Times, and read:

"I went to a sneak preview of the film hosted by a rock radio station. The audience was all rock fans. Some of the movie's plots were disgusting even to rock fans. There is a difference between a teen exploitation film and a gynecologist's educational film.

."

"I have every reason to believe that Roger Ebert is discriminating against rock fans and gynecologists. He is discriminating against the taste of rock fans and the noble profession of gynecologists."

"Pfft... Hahaha..." The reporters below couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You can't take it out of context like this. Mr. Abbott is making an overall evaluation of your movie. This is the freedom of speech and media freedom protected by America's First Amendment." The reporter from the Sun asked for the first amendment in desperation.

Come to Roger Ebert's defense.

"Very good, then as an American film practitioner and citizen, I can also comment on Roger Ebert's movies.

I think the movie he made is an x-rated sexual exploitation film, full of sexism against women and obscene plots. It was a waste of the acting talents of the talented actress Dolly Reed and Cynthia Miles."

"Wow..." When the reporters heard the names of the two "Playboy" girls, they all started whispering to each other. It seemed that they didn't know much about Roger Ebert's "glorious history."

"You...you lied."

"Beyond the valley of the dolls, ask your idol Albert yourself if he still remembers his masterpiece?"
