Exploiting Hollywood 1980

The first person to call to inform Ronald of the accident was his manager Richard, "Turn on the TV, ABC's entertainment news, something happened."

"Actor Vic Morrow died unexpectedly while filming a movie on Indian Farm in California. A spokesperson for Warner Bros. Pictures confirmed the accident to this reporter. Local police said they were investigating the accident.

The reporter of this station has not yet contacted the crew, and any update news will be played in the form of subtitles. "

Ronald turned on the TV as he said, and tuned to ABC Los Angeles, where the news anchor was dialing a piece of news.

"Vic Morrow, isn't that Jennifer Jason Leigh's father?" Ronald remembered the drunken hunk breaking into the scene to stop his daughter from filming the revealing Jewish actor.

"Yes, I will call you as soon as I hear the news."

"Okay, I'll contact the producer and ask about the situation."

Ronald, who put down the phone, was a little worried. Will Jennifer Jason Lee's participation in the "fast-paced" marketing activities be affected by this matter?

Ronald quickly called the producer Lin Sen, "Have you heard?"

Lin Sen who answered the phone, just like Ronald, started with "Have you heard?"

"We have to discuss whether it is not suitable for Jennifer to participate in marketing activities in the future?" Lin Sen has more experience in film distribution than Ronald.

"Why?"

"Jennifer Jason Lee is the second-generation celebrity. This kind of person is generally appreciated by film critics and the media. He speaks a lot of good things. But it will also cause many entertainment reporters to chase after him.

Moreover, she is Jewish, and now that her father, Vic Morrow, is dead, those exposure shots of her in the movie are likely to cause discomfort to the senior Jewish seniors at Universal. We still keep a low profile and try not to let her become the focus of the media. "

"Okay, Mr. Lin Sen, I think so too. Shall we go and see Jennifer, mourning the funeral and listening to her and her mother's opinions?"

"You are very thoughtful. I will pick you up tomorrow."

The next day, they arrived at Jennifer's mother's house, where her mother, Barbara Turner, was with Jennifer and her sister.

"It is impossible for Jennifer to continue participating in the 'fast-paced' marketing campaign,

Losing a father in this way is a huge blow to any child, let alone she has just turned twenty. "

Jennifer Jason Leigh's mother, Barbara Turner, the "fast-paced Richmond High" heroine, told Ronald and producer Lin Sen who came to visit.

"Ms. Turner, Barbara, we're here to express our condolences, and we don't mean to let Jennifer continue the marketing journey." Ronald quickly explained his intentions to Barbara.

Although Vic Morrow abandoned their mother and daughter at a very young age, but he died in such a tragic way, no matter what, he had to mourn and support Jennifer.

Last night, Ronald and Lin Sen heard some news through their respective channels. Vic Morrow's unexpected death sounds an awful lot like a horror movie story.

Warner Bros. is also courting Spielberg to direct a feature film. Spielberg selected the film version of CBS's evergreen horror series "Twilight Zone."

Spielberg's hectic directorial schedule didn't have time to direct a full film version of the horror flick. So he recruited three friends in the circle to co-direct, each of them directed a part of the plot, and then combined four unrelated stories into one movie.

One of them was one of Ronald's first directors, Joe Dante. In "Rock High School" that year, he helped his good buddy Alan Aikush direct his first film. Without him, Ronald would not have joined the directors' union.

The other was John Landis, the horror and comedy director Universal sent to watch "fast-paced Richmond High."

Finally there is Australian director George Miller.

It should be said that this lineup is still very strong. After Joe Dante left Roger Corman, the box office of "Three Breaking Braves" was very good. His directing ability also attracted the attention of Spielberg, and he was going to ask him to make a film for his Amberlin Company.

George Miller swept the Hollywood box office with two low-budget wasteland sci-fi films "Mad Max" and its sequel, and was scrambled by studios.

John Landis is a popular director who is on par with Spielberg, and he can be regarded as the second most important director after Spielberg among the four directors. So it was decided that he would shoot the opening part, and Spielberg, who was busy with et Aliens, was shooting the second part.

They also served as producers of the film.

The accident happened in the opening quarter of John Landis's film.

Vic Morrow was decapitated by a helicopter propeller while filming a night getaway scene. The two children who acted together with him also died together.

The TV series "The Twilight Zone" is a horror fantasy TV series. This accident is also very similar to a horror story in a TV series, which is incredible.

The content of the first part is a white man played by Vic Morrow, who was robbed of his promotion opportunity by his Jewish colleagues. He then began to scold Jews, Asians, and blacks, thinking that these minorities had taken away his opportunities.

Suddenly he was transported to the time and space with the worst racial discrimination in history.

For example, the Jews in Vichy State during World War II were shot by the Gestapo because they could not speak English. Then he went on to Alabama in the 1950s, turned into a black man, and faced hanging by the Ku Klux Klan.

After finally escaping, he traveled to the Vietnam War battlefield in the 1960s. Escaped the machine gun fire of the Mi army helicopter with two Vietnamese children.

The scene where the accident happened was the scene where Vic Morrow took his two children and escaped from the UH-1 helicopter of the Mi Army.

For unknown reasons, the helicopter driven by a real veteran of the Vietnam War lost control and crashed. The propeller just twisted to the place where Vic Morrow and the two children were struggling to escape. Ke Morrow beheaded.

Before he died, he knew that he would not be safe, and tried his best to throw one child out and hide the other child under him, but he still couldn't resist the sharp blade of the steel propeller. One of the two children was also killed by the propeller, and the other was crushed to death by the landing gear. .

Three actors, one big, two small, died on the spot.

"We wanted to meet Jennifer and offer our condolences in person. Then we wanted to hear Jennifer's own thoughts.

The crew will try their best to cooperate, and keep her from being the focus of the media as much as possible. At this point in time, those media will definitely take advantage of the 'fast-paced' release and ask her a lot of questions about her father. "

Lin Sen was more sophisticated in dealing with this kind of matter, and put forward his own request on the spot.

Barbara also came to her senses immediately, maybe there are reporters squatting outside the door now, ready to interview the family.

"Thank you, you guys go talk to Jennifer, I'll go out to see if there are any reporters. If not, you go through the back door."

"Thank you, Barbara." Ronald and Lin Sen entered the back room and saw Jennifer Jason Lee who was sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"Jennifer? This is Ronald, let's see you, are you okay?"

Jennifer came back to her senses and saw Ronald and producer Lin Sen.

"Oh, thank you for coming to see me, I'm actually fine."

"Don't say that, you don't have to worry about the promotion of the movie, we know that you lost your father, and you must..."

"No, Ronald, Mr. Linsen." Jennifer stood up, made way for the two of them to sit on the sofa, got up and sat on the sofa on the other side.

"I'm not going to lie, I'm really fine. I was three years old when Vic left my mother, so I don't have much memory of what happened before. Vic approached me when we were filming 'Fast Pace' and thought Asked me to give up the heroine, I refused.

Over the past ten years, Vic has been like a stranger to me. I have no impression of him. He came to the house drunk and made a scene on rare occasions.

But my sister, who remembers him at home when she was a child, often tells me that Vic is actually a good person, but he turns into a devil when he gets drunk. "

"This?" Unexpectedly, Jennifer looked at her father like this, and Ronald and Lin Sen were at a loss for words.

"Don't worry, I won't delay the 'fast-paced' promotional schedule." Jennifer Jason Lee said to Ronald and the others.

"Uh, Jennifer. This is actually one of our purposes for coming."

Ronald and Lin Sen glanced at each other, and expressed their intention to ask her to postpone the promotional schedule.

"So Vic's accident deprived me of my promotional schedule?" Jennifer was a little annoyed. She won this role on her own, and she worked very hard, sacrificing herself to film the revealing scene. Now Vic himself has nothing but Unexpectedly, instead of depriving her of her power as a heroine?

"We know that you are a very dedicated girl. But the current situation is that your father's accident has become the biggest news in Hollywood. All kinds of tabloid media and photojournalists are watching, hoping to get news from you. A few words uttered in it."

"Yes, Jennifer. Believe us, those reporters will exaggerate and distort anything you say dozens of times. They will do anything for sales. You should hire a public relations company as soon as possible to help you unify your speech."

"Well, I didn't expect it to turn out like this." Jennifer was still calm. Vic Morrow didn't have any deep relationship with her, so she could look at the whole thing from a more rational perspective.

After discussing it with a few people, they decided not to let Jennifer go out of the promotional schedule for the time being, and she will show up again at the premiere in Los Angeles. And it was arranged by the public relations company that she would not be allowed to face the firepower of the reporters, and she would enter the movie theater after her direct appearance.

Ronald and the others will also agree with the rest of the crew who are running the schedule, and will not talk about Vic Morrow.

"I still can't believe this is true." After discussing the arrangement with Jennifer, Ronald put his hands on his forehead and sighed, "How could such an outrageous thing happen?"

Jennifer also felt the same way, "I don't know, the camera at the scene captured the whole process of the accident, but because it was too bloody, Warner Bros. didn't let us see it for the time being.

We will find a lawyer to look at the situation together, and the lawyer said that criminal liability and huge civil compensation may be involved. "

"criminal?"

"Yeah, I heard..." Jennifer lowered her voice and whispered to Ronald, "My mother won't let me tell, don't tell others, I heard that the accident was caused by John Landis ordering the helicopter to fly too low .”
