Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Porky, Porky?"

"I'm here, Mom." Brooke put on makeup backstage at NBC's Late Show.

"Oh, great. Where are we?" Brooke's mother Terry's alcohol addiction became more and more serious, and she was drunk after noon every day.

"On NBC, I'm about to be on the Late Show with David Letterman."

“Isn’t it Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show?”

"It's because I guest-starred on 'Richmond High,' and host Letterman also guest-starred in that movie, and he invited me to come on the show with the crew this time."

"Oh, who is the director?"

"It's Ronald."

"Okay, you have to be careful, the host might ask you about your sex scene with Hewitt, who plays David, Barbara Waters is very cunning."

Brooke frowned, and Terry was so drunk that his mind was confused and he confused several movies with several talk shows.

"Dick, help me keep an eye on her." Brooke called her driver and asked him to look after her mother Terry.

"Miss Brooke Shields, it's your turn." The assistant came to urge her to leave.

"Just come."

After glancing at her mother who was drunk on the sofa, Brooke Shields put on a white suit jacket over a black bottoming shirt and walked onto the stage.

"Hi, Brooke. When the time comes, you'll go on stage from here. Just like we did on the set." David Letterman warmly welcomed Brooke Shields.

The cover of "Time" magazine once again published a photo of Brooke Shields, and gave her the title of "the new look of the 1980s". Now she is the most beautiful girl in America and the world. Letterman has now invited Brooke Shields to appear on his show, which is a sign of his reaching a high level.

Under normal circumstances, Brooke Shields would have gone to "The Tonight Show" hosted by Johnny Carson an hour earlier.

But who made him and Brooke guest star in the "fast-paced" movie that has recently become popular throughout the West Coast and is as popular as "ET" in the minds of young audiences?

David Letterman is very proud of his decisive appearance. Brooke Shields' appearance has greatly boosted the ratings of his show.

"When the time comes, you will sit at the first seat near the table.

Then I will bring out Sean Penn, who will star with you. He would sit in the outer seat. "

"Isn't Ronald here?" asked Brooke.

"Directors usually don't go on my talk show. They usually go to Dick Cavett's show. That talk show is relatively long and has a tradition of inviting film directors as guests." "

Letterman explained to Brooke that his talk show focuses on current affairs, celebrities, and lighthearted comedy. It is not long, and the average interview time for a guest is only about ten minutes.

"But he came tonight and is talking to the actors in the audience."

"Ronald, Brooke is here, and she wants you... to come up," Letterman rolled his hands into the shape of a loudspeaker and shouted down.

Several staff members whistled after hearing his funny statement. The band who was debugging the equipment also played a soundtrack on the spot.

"Hi Brooke, long time no see. Thank you this time."

Universal's temporary media roadshow was too tight and there were not many opportunities to appear on TV stations at once. But they worked very hard to make up for their previous work mistakes.

After learning that Brooke Shields and Letterman were guest-starring in the movie, they were interested in appearing on the Late Show. They immediately mobilized resources and arranged for Brooke to appear on the show in the shortest possible time.

"It's okay." Brooke Shields hugged Ronald and said hello, and took the opportunity to say in his ear, "If I have something to do with you later, can I ask the driver to pick you up at the door?"

"I'm about to take a night flight to a road show in Dallas, Texas. How about you talk to me in Letterman's office later?" Ronald's schedule was very tight and he didn't have time to accompany Brooke to talk to other places. .

"Okay, you can go there and wait for me later. I have something to ask you."

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us welcome the most beautiful girl in America, the new look of the eighties, the high school boy's dream girl, Brooke...Shit!"

With the soundtrack of "Dang Dang Dang Dang" playing, Brooke Shields walked out from the backstage and walked onto the talk show stage. After hugging Letterman, she sat down on the sofa.

"I just forgot to introduce Brooke's identity. He is the female lead opposite me in my recent film Fast-paced Richmond High."

"We're guest stars, David," Brooke Shields corrected with a smile.

"Aha, is this a guest appearance? Why do I think my acting skills are so good?"

"Hahaha..." The audience laughed under the direction of the on-site director.

After a drumbeat from the band, Letterman continued to ask.

"Would you be friends with a guy like Spicoli in real life?"

"If he saves me, of course he will. In fact, my fans send me emails asking for autographs and photos, and I always sign the replies myself."

“Let’s welcome Sean Penn, who played Spicoli in the movie!”

"Hi Sean. Long time no see."

Following the well-rehearsed routine, the two greeted each other and then told some anecdotes about the filming.

"Oh, our director is really strict and lets me go surfing in the winter..." Sean Penn pretended to complain

"Me? I don't have to go into the water. The shot of falling off the podium was actually taken in the studio. I just fell on the mat." Bo Ji made a happy expression.

…

"Brooke, America's audience, it's like knowing when to see your next movie." Finally, the topic returned to Brooke Shields.

"I'm not sure yet, maybe next year?"

Ten minutes passed quickly, and Letterman heard the band's time prompt music, "Okay, let's thank Brooke Shields! Remember to go to the theater to watch the movie 'Fast Richmond High' that Brooke and I co-produced."

Brooke Shields walked off the stage. She rejected several fans' requests for autographs, saying that she had something else to do and asked them to wait for her to come out before giving them autographs.

"Let's welcome Jennifer Jason Leigh and her friend Phoebe Cates." Letterman's welcome voice came from behind, and Brooke followed the assistant to lead the way into Letterman's dedicated office backstage.

There she met Ronald who had come in advance to wait.

"Ronald, I received another invitation from Director Coppola. He wants to ask me to play the heroine in his next movie."

"Is this a good thing?" Ronald replied, "Is this what you want to ask me?"

Brooke nodded, "Yes. My mother is drunk again, and I have no one to discuss with. I don't often discuss my work as an actor with my father."

"My opinion is still the same as last time with 'The Kid'. If you want to make a career as an actor, the project directed by Coppola is a good stepping stone. He can help an actor learn to act quickly."

Coppola's ability to train actors is very good. During the filming of "The Outdoorsman" in Oklahoma, Ronald saw with his own eyes that Diane Lane's acting skills were improving at a visible rate every day.

“I don’t know, I love being an actress and I love modeling. But most of all I want to go to college. I want to experience the things that a normal American girl goes through.

I often fantasize about studying in an Ivy League school, where the teaching buildings have ancient mottled walls covered with ivy.

On the road under the wall, there are well-dressed teachers and students holding books in their hands. "

"You think college is too wonderful, don't you?" Ronald laughed. Brooke's vision of college seemed to be those glimpses in Hollywood movies.

"But my SAT score is just over 1,000 points, so I'm afraid I won't be able to get into Princeton." Brooke was a little distressed. "I will probably go to Vassar College or Brown University. The admissions there are based on overall quality rather than SAT." Lord. My extracurricular activities can add a lot of points."

"If you really want to go to Princeton, then why not give it a try? Just like whether you want to go to Coppola's crew in the end, you still have to follow your own heart."

Ronald felt that Brooke, the most beautiful girl in America, might not be a very happy person in life. There are a lot of people who put too much thought into her and want to use her fame to achieve their own ends.

However, if you put it this way, is there a side of you that takes advantage of Poky?

At least I didn't instill any values ​​in her.

"Can I really try?" Brooke seemed surprised that someone supported her.

"I asked many friends, and they all said that Princeton is not suitable for me. It is a place where people with high IQs gather."

"Why? I think you are a very smart girl."

"I don't know, anyway, they all say that I... just look pretty."

"This has nothing to do with it. Are the beauty and wisdom given by God a constant? Anyway, I don't think you are a fool." Ronald smiled.

"If you don't have the answer, you might as well ask your heart." Ronald raised his finger and pointed at Brooke's chest. "See what decision makes you feel comfortable. If you really want to go to Princeton, why don't you give it a try? ? At most, it will be rejected."

"Thanks, I'll try it."

"I can't give you much advice on acting matters. The same goes for you. Ask your heart and see what decision makes you feel happy and at ease."

"Yeah." Poji nodded vigorously. I have been photographed as a model all year round, posing according to other people's instructions, and I just try hard to pose beautifully when shooting movies. In fact, Brooke rarely has the opportunity to follow her heart and do something she likes.

"I will go to Princeton first, and then Brown University. Kennedy Jr. invited me to go. Are you at New York University? I want to see it too." Brooke decided to visit a few universities before making a decision.

"It's New York University, but you'll be disappointed. There are no old houses with ivy or even walls."

"Ronald, it's time for us to leave." The staff outside knocked on the door.

"I'm flying to Dallas soon, then Chicago, and New York."

Ronald and Brooke walked out of the office together.

Ronald joined the two leading ladies, while Brooke was surrounded by fans and had to give them autographs.

"I will also go to New York, and we will contact you in New York then." Brooke said to Ronald, waving to him.

"Brother, I have your phone number." Dick, the driver, came over and handed her an extension phone.

"Hello? Brooke. I'm Michael. I just saw your appearance on the Late Show. You are stunning. I will release a new album in New York at the end of the year..."

"Michael, I'm glad to receive your call. Thank you for the compliment." Brooke regained her social skills.

"Director, do you know Brooke Shields? It seems to me that you are very familiar with each other?" Several people from the crew caught up with the plane.

Phoebe Cates, who was on the same plane for the road show, sat next to Ronald and asked Ronald enviously.

"I shot one of her commercials, you should have seen it." Ronald pointed to his jeans.

"Oh, I know, ck jeans. Between me and Kelvin..."

Phoebe participated in the roadshow promotion of the movie for the first time, and she was still very excited in the middle of the night. Jennifer Jason Leigh has been busy lately and has fallen asleep in the back seat.

"It would be great if I could have as many fans as she does."

"That's still a little bit worse. Porky only got so many fans after she made several blockbuster movies. But you are also very fast. I think you will be like her soon and be recognized by fans on the street and ask for autographs."
