Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Don't cry, Tennessee girls are supposed to be strong." Ronald looked at Cynthia Rhodes who couldn't stop crying and took a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

"I didn't do anything wrong." Cynthia wiped to stop her tears.

"Yes, you didn't do anything wrong. But this is Hollywood, the movie industry. In this industry, beware of unwarranted favors..."

Ronald saw that Cynthia, who had been threatened by Stallone, had returned to normal, "Go call your agent, he will help you handle this kind of thing."

"Will all my scenes be cut out?" Cynthia's eyes are still a little red, but she does have the unique toughness of a southern girl. She usually looks weak, but at critical moments, she is very independent and strong, just like "Gone with the Wind" Scarlett in this movie can pick up her mood and continue to fight after a curse.

"You are overthinking. The filming is coming to an end. Even Stallone can't find someone to reshoot all your scenes. At this time, your agent will help you to help you and try to reduce your scenes to be cut."

"Then will I be banned by Stallone?" Cynthia thought of Stallone's last words again.

"No, Stallone is a big star, and he doesn't have the energy to mess with a small actor like you. But it's inevitable that you won't have a chance in projects related to him or his friends in the future."

"I'm not afraid. I will definitely achieve success here. I won't go back to my hometown of Nashville without becoming famous." Cynthia Rhodes was not discouraged and got up to call her agent.

After persuading Cynthia to leave, Ronald went to say goodbye to Stallone. Although Stallone just scolded his brother, it is inevitable that Cynthia's role will be greatly reduced.

When something like this happens, Ronald doesn't know who is right and who is wrong. When he left the set and went to CAA, he told his agent Niceta about the incident as a joke.

"If something like this happens in the future, you must tell me as soon as possible." After hearing this, Niceta picked up the phone and talked with a few people. "It's okay. Stallone didn't pursue it. His brother is also at fault for this matter."

"How should this kind of thing be handled? I feel like Frank and Cynthia don't have a consensus." It's common to hear about actresses exchanging bodies for a role, but Ronald has never actually done it.

"How can this kind of thing be handled like this? Even if there is an exchange, it should be done through an agent. Otherwise, if the other party gets the evidence, they can sue you. Girls in this industry dare to think and do it. I think most of them are Mrs. Frank. I was overconfident and felt that no one could match my charm, so I gave Cynthia a chance.

It will come up obediently and automatically. "

Niceta was also aware of the fact that Italians are particularly confident in matters between men and women. She shook her head and said, "If you have similar thoughts, you must do it through me and don't make your own decisions."

"Hey, do I need to do this exchange to get a girlfriend?" Ronald laughed.

"Just remember, you can call me if you need it in the future." Niceta smiled, "Your publicity plan also includes a visit to 'Full of Energy' and a few premieres, right?"

"Yes, I'm going to attend Motown's 25th anniversary concert in two days, but I'm not the protagonist. Can you help me arrange interviews with reporters?"

"It was a star-studded occasion. If you were an actor, you could have arranged it." Niceta shook her head and refused. For such an occasion where first- and second-tier singers would come to twenty or thirty places, Ronald, a film director, would not get much coverage.

"When you go to the Full Body Crew, you have to be special, so I will go with you." Niceta took out two passes and handed one to Ronald.

"how?"

"Herbert Ross is an orthodox theater director. He doesn't like people showing up on the set for no reason, so I have applied for visiting time for you."

Ronald took the pass and a piece of promotional material from the crew. He discovered that the heroine was Lori Singer, whom he had dreamed of, Helen's friend at the New York Performing Arts Academy. The male protagonist is an unknown name, Kevin Bacon.

"Why has the person changed? Didn't you hear last time that it was Rob Lowe?" Ronald heard Nicita say last time that after Tom Cruise declined the invitation, the male protagonist invited the same actor from "Outside the World" Rob Lowe who plays the middle brother Soda Soda in "The Kid".

"The superficial reason was that Rob Lowe had to take two months off due to a sprained ankle during dance practice and missed filming. The actual reason was that Herbert Ross was dissatisfied with him and thought he didn't respect him, so he proposed a substitution."

"Are you so strict?" Since Ronald's debut, all the directors he has come into contact with are relatively kind, good at inspiring actors, or cunningly inducing actors. However, he has never come across such a strict and hot-tempered director.

…

"Are you so tempered?" Ronald and Niceta came to the "footloose" set and looked at each other. As soon as they showed the pass to the guard and entered the studio, they heard the director's loud voice cursing inside.

"What kind of shit did your teachers teach you in school in New York? How can you use such acting skills to make a movie? Why don't you ask your agent to find an acting coach and learn from it?"

"Should we..." Ronald felt that he had come at the wrong time. With such a tempered director, it would be difficult for him to cooperate with his activities of grabbing news coverage.

"Keep it down, let's go out first." Niceta also found it difficult. She had only heard that Herbert Ross often insulted actors on the set, but she didn't expect to meet him today.

"Who are you?" The director heard the voices coming from the studio door and pointed at Ronald and Niceta.

"We are here for a visit. We have registered in advance." Nisita raised the pass and flashed it. I am Rick Nisita, CAA's agent. This is my client, the film director...,.

"I don't care who you are, as long as you're not from my crew. How come anyone can enter the studio? I'll be shooting interior scenes here for two days before leaving for Oklahoma. You can't even do this. OK?" Herbert Ross scolded the second assistant director, who was responsible for issuing paperwork to all visitors.

"You talk so loudly, how can I make a film? Haven't you ever filmed a studio scene?" After Herbert Ross scolded his men, he yelled at Ronald again.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Ross, please continue." Ronald saw that Niceta was also very angry at being scolded, so he quickly continued.

"Hmm... Pfft..." Several actors and staff who were being trained couldn't help laughing.

Herbert Ross turned red and pointed at them, "Get out of here."

"Sorry, let's leave now." Ronald thought to himself that this person's temper was really getting a little bit louder, so he and Niceta turned around and left the studio.

"Don't blame him. Herbert is a drama director. That job requires actors to perform more accurately, because dramas cannot be repeated and must be performed from beginning to end. Therefore, drama directors generally have a bad temper, and actors I'm not a Broadway performer with strict training, so it's understandable that I'm a little angry."

Ronald smiled and said, "It's okay. We were the ones who interrupted his work in the studio. It's just a pity that we didn't get any reports."

"Why, let me make a few calls." Niceta took out a few coins, found a telephone, and dialed the producer's number.

A few minutes later, Niceta hung up the phone and said, "It's done. There will be an interview on the Hollywood Reporter's new film launch page tomorrow, and they will mention your new movie."

"Oh, it seems we don't need to come." Ronald raised his eyebrows, thinking, is this okay?

"I originally wanted to take a photo with you." Niceta smiled.

A few days later, there was a copy of The Hollywood Reporter, a copy of Daily Variety, and a copy of the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times. Three-thirds of the newspapers published news about Ronald's visit to other film productions, and two of them included photos of himself and the director.

The news mentioned his resume, as well as the name and genre of his new film "Night of the Comet". I don’t know how effective it will be, but CAA still provides great resources.

Ronald put down the newspaper and began to put on his dress. Today was the time to go to the Motown 25th Anniversary Concert.

“Commander Ronald announced the launch of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI), which can detect, identify, and intercept Soviet Union intercontinental ballistic missiles in outer space. Our experts gave him the nickname ‘Star Wars Initiative’.

Following his speech earlier this month to the Alliance of Evangelical Nations, the Grand Commander accused the Soviet bloc of being an evil empire and refused to acknowledge that the United States and the Soviet Union shared equal responsibility for the Cold War. This is the second time in a short period of time that the commander-in-chief has launched an aggressive offensive against our biggest strategic opponent. "

When Ronald heard the news on TV, he found it very novel and sat down to watch it. It turns out that this SDI system is composed of satellite, road-based anti-missile, and sea-based anti-missile systems. Experts calculated on TV that after it is completed, only one percent of the missiles that can slip through the network can hit America.

"Why does it sound like science fiction?" Ronald muttered.

"Ring ring ring ring..." The phone rang.

"Why haven't you gone out yet?" Diane complained on the phone.

"Sorry, I watched the news for a while and will be back soon."

Motown Records is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Almost all black singers since the 1960s came from this record label.

Lionel Richie and Diana Ross, these two black superstars also sang the theme song for Brooke Shields' movie "Endless Love".

There was also Michael Jackson who sent tickets to Ronald. The band Jackson 5 formed by him and his four brothers also made their debut in Motown.

When she arrived at the hotel where Diane was staying, she had dressed up early, wearing a white dress and a black jacket. Hearing Ronald's arrival, he opened the door happily.

"Remember to come back early." Bert smiled from behind.

"It doesn't matter, I hired a driver." Ronald stretched out his hand for Diane to take. The concert was held at the Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, a small town eleven miles north of Los Angeles. Ronald had never been there, so he simply followed the rules of attending a formal concert, put on a formal dress, rented a car and a driver.

"Please, let's go to the concert." Ronald stretched out his hand.
