Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Hi, Brooke, this is Ronald." Ronald calculated the time and dialed Brooke Shields' home phone number in New Jersey. After the kissing incident, he never talked about it with Brooke again.

"Hi, Ronnie." Brooke's voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little shy.

"Baby, dear, come and see Brooke's hairdresser, what kind of hairstyle should I get today? Who are you talking to on the phone?" Brooke's mother, Terry, brought out a plastic mannequin, which was strictly in accordance with Brooke's hairdresser. The head shape is customized.

Terry always wears various wigs on this model to confirm today's hairstyle with Brooke, so he named it Brooke's Hairdresser.

"It's Ronald," Brooke said to her mother, covering the phone.

"Is it Terry? I'm calling to ask if you have received an invitation from 'The Dragon King'. I am now directing this movie." Ronald heard Terry talking on the other side of the phone.

When Terry heard that it was Ronald, he had to admit that he rushed to rescue his daughter from the car accident, so he just pouted and made a "no" sign to his daughter.

"Well, Ronnie. I got an invitation, but you know, I got accepted to Princeton, which is my dream, so I won't be participating in a long-term film project like this for the time being. If your film can be postponed until the holidays In the meantime...oh, okay." Brooke also made an "I rejected him" mouth gesture to Terry.

"Well, I know you're going to college, I'm just calling to try my luck."

"I'm going to Princeton soon, and I'm packing my bags now. Princeton promised me an ordinary dormitory. I'm very excited to think about being able to live in a dormitory with hundreds of years of history."

"Will you come when I start school? There was a party at my old house in New York before... Oh, I understand, you are also busy with the movie, so... that's it?"

Brooke hung up the phone, touched her lips, and fell into memories for a moment.

Ronald also hung up the phone, relieved. Weintraub suddenly wanted to cast Brooke. If Brooke agreed, it would cost her own life to train her acting skills. But on the other hand...he also thought of the kiss in which Brooke ran away.

"Honey, who are you calling?" Helen recovered some energy from the blow and went out to relax with friends in the morning. When she came back, she saw Ronald holding the phone in a daze.

"Oh, it's Brooke. Brooke Shields, she turned me down."

"She rejected you?" Helen heard Ronald say,

He was also startled.

"She is going to study at Princeton, so she can't play the heroine of Long Wei Boy. Another heroine candidate I am optimistic about will also go to Harvard. I hate the Ivy."

"Well, you have to choose someone else, Ronnie." Helen said to Ronald, "Your cousin Donna's flight is coming soon. I have to attend Supergirl's press interview in the afternoon. When I come back we will Let’s meet and chat again.”

Then Helen gestured to her trophy in the full-length mirror, "What do you think of me wearing this? My friends and I visited many second-hand dress stores." Helen took out the second-hand dress she had picked up in the morning.

The slightly pink dress set off Helen's complexion very well. Ronald nodded, "Very good, but why do you wear second-hand clothes every time? I also made an appointment with the fashion designer Mr. Giorgio Armani to give you some Provide a dress..."

"Why? Don't I look good in this? Today's Americans are so wasteful. If we can save some, the children in those third world countries can get food and medical care."

"Ah..." Ronald remembered that Helen's mother was an environmentalist and anti-nuclearist. She also provides voluntary legal defense to many environmental groups.

"But I have promised Mr. Armani, and I thought you would like the custom-made dress."

"Dear, I think this is all excessive consumption. I can buy clothes that I want at a very cheap price, can't I?" Helen picked up the clothes again and compared them.

"Okay", Ronald thought, and then he could only explain it to Mr. Armani.

"Ding dong", the door opened, and it was Ronald's cousin Donna, standing in front of the door.

"Hello, Ronnie, your place is very spacious." Donna pulled a suitcase with two wheels underneath. This was a special style for little girls.

"Donna, why did you come here by yourself? Didn't I tell you to call me and I would ask Richard to pick you up?"

"No, I visited several universities in New England, all by myself."

"Hello, Helen", Donna and Helen, who were dressed, also said hello.

"You stay with Donna, my friend will drive to pick me up." Helen hugged Donna, put on light pink clothes, opened the door and walked out.

"Which schools are you going to visit? I'll ask Richard to drive you there. I've been busy with movies recently and can't get away."

"No, I've already passed my driver's license test. Just lend me the car." Donna reached for the car keys.

"Can you do that? Does Aunt Karen agree?"

"Of course, she also said that I drove well."

"Okay", Ronald reached out and handed the key of Saab 900 to Donna.

"Where are you going this afternoon?" Donna got the keys, went to try out the car, and then came home to pack her bags.

"I'm going to visit Diane's class. The producer Mr. Weintraub wants to find her to see if she is interested in participating in my new movie. I contacted her agent yesterday and will go directly to the studio this afternoon."

"Oh, okay, I'll go too. I haven't seen her for a long time." Donna shook the car key, just in time to drive Ronald away.

Donna drove carefully and slowly arrived at the largest studio in Universal Studios.

The two registered from the set assistant and got the reserved visit pass.

As soon as Ronald entered the door, he saw music director Jim Steinman, a songwriter with long flowing hair, directing his band to position themselves on the stage, and a harmony team of four female singers also stood in the back row.

Today is another concert scene. Diane Lane stars as Ellen Ann, a female rock singer. After being rescued from the bad guys by Cody, she holds a concert in her hometown again to make up for the regrets of the audience.

This time she sang "Streets of Rage," the Bruce Springsteen single of the same name as the movie. Diane wore a backless red costume and began to walk on the stage.

"Water?" Stunt dancer Malin Jahan, who had transformed into Diane's follower, held a bottle of water with a straw exposed and gave it to Diane to drink.

"Energy bar?" Ma Lin broke off a small piece of chocolate energy bar and handed it to Diane to replenish her energy.

"Diane!" Donna shouted to her good friend Diane from outside the railing under the stage.

"Hmm..." Diane took a few bites of the chocolate and waved to the people next to him, asking them to let Donna and Ronald in.

Ronald walked onto the stage, and Diane's new costume was also carefully made by Giorgio Armani. The whole body of the red dress is studded with diamonds, and behind it is a large V opening that reaches directly to the waist and hips.

Diane wore heavy makeup for the performance. Her face was very suitable for this kind of heavy makeup. Under the light, her tall nose left a shadow on her face. With her hair combed high, long eyelashes, and dark eye shadow, she looks very much like a real rock star.

Ronald didn't recognize Diane a little bit, not only because of her makeup and dress, but in the few weeks of filming, Diane's temperament had completely changed. Just the few days when she had just instructed Ma Lin to be her assistant. Suddenly, he had the aura of a star.

Donna climbed onto the stage on her hands and knees, went up and hugged her friend.

"Oh...be careful, don't mess up your makeup." Donna was also very surprised by Diane's change, a little afraid to recognize him.

"It doesn't matter. If it costs me, I'll let them paint again." Diane pulled her best friend to sit on the chair with her name on it, leaving Ronald aside while the two best friends started talking.

Seeing that they were chatting enthusiastically, Ronald walked to the side and greeted producer Joel Silver.

"So is this almost finished?" Ronald asked Joel about the filming progress.

"There are still a few shots left to shoot. Today is our last scene in this studio. After we finish shooting the scenes of Diane's concert, the stage and concert scenery here will be dismantled."

"When is it going to be released?"

"Around next summer, why are you free to visit the class today?" Joel asked about Ronald's purpose.

"My sister," Ronald pointed at Donna, "is a good friend of Diane. I brought her here today to ask if Diane has any future work arrangements. I would like to ask her to appear in my movie."

"Oh, she's a popular teen star now. Her agent came here several times last week."

On the other side, Diane and Donna also started chatting quietly.

"You have changed so much, Diane. I think you are so beautiful now. You look like a movie star now. When I was with you before, I didn't even feel that you were a female star."

"How's it going? Not bad," Diane proudly showed off to her best friend, "My two performance costumes are both custom-made by Giorgio Armani."

"I see you are like a queen on the set. Many people are very polite to you. Some people even sent you flowers." Donna pointed to the roses next to her with a card on them.

"It was from the leading actor Michael Pare. I don't like this hairy country guy, but he often sends flowers, so I just let them go."

"You are the boss in the crew now, are you?" Donna quietly observed the eyes of the people around her on Diane. Many people were envious, and some women looked over with jealous eyes.

"Of course, you don't know. The interpersonal relationships in the crew are too complicated. Look at the woman who plays a supporting role. She even wanted to secretly wear my costume last time. And that Rick Moranis, the one with glasses, He plays my character’s boyfriend and he’s always chatting with me and telling me his silly jokes.”

"Which one? Is that the little guy? He looks a bit vulgar."

"Yes, he also thought his jokes were funny. He even had a quarrel with Michael Pare a few days ago and almost got into a fight."

"Did you provoke them?" Donna laughed.

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Diane also chuckled, and only at this moment did she realize that she looked like a high school girl.

Donna nudged Diane with her elbow, "Hey, Diane. Do you still like my brother now? He seems to have some problems with that Helen. I came here this morning and saw that she and Ronnie didn't talk much and went out shopping by themselves. .”

"Humph!" Diane sniffed, "Every girl has a crush on her best friend's brother. It'll be fine when she grows up. I used to be a little obsessed with him, but now..."

"Diane, do you have time to chat?" Ronald heard Joel Silver say that Diane's agent had arranged several auditions for her. He couldn't sit still and hurried over to ask. If Diane also has other film appointments, Ronald can only count on "Red Dawn" and Harvard University to release her, which would be a bit like giving the initiative to others.

"Hey, I should have asked Diane earlier." Ronald saw Diane today and found that she was more than enough to play a high school beauty. A dream girl like Ali was not a big problem.

"What's the matter?" Diane turned her head and looked at Ronald. With his bright red lips and wavy hairstyle, Ronald was obviously startled. During the few months of filming, Diane seemed to have developed a charming and star-like temperament. His movements are no longer youthful.

"How can such a big change happen in just a few months?" Ronald stopped thinking, "Let me ask, do you have any film appointments next? My new film 'Longwei Boy' just needs a heroine. "

Diane raised her head slightly, looked at Ronald with a charming look in her eyes, and slowly stroked her hair, "You're late, Ronald. I have promised Director Coppola to star in his new work, Playing a showgirl in the 1920s and 1930s, I thought it was somewhat similar to this role, so I agreed."

"Diane? Can we start moving?" the director asked from the side using a microphone.

"Just come", Diane flipped her hair, stood up and walked to the middle of the stage, taking a ready posture.

"Turn on all the lights and let's see the effect."

With a few clicks of a switch, the million-dollar lighting engineer turned on the overhead lights. A few beams of sunlight came in from the small window in the ceiling. Under the diffuse reflection of the smoke, several light paths appeared, shining on Diane's body, making the diamonds as beautiful as the starry sky.

From the speakers came the voice of Jim Steinman's singer Sargent, who had a metallic voice.

"In the dead of night, you no longer care about me,

Your eyes are tired, there's someone at your door,

you realize you want to let go

The loser lies in the cold wall, hugged by you

Deep inside you, baby, I'm not a liar, I just have to go"

This lyric seems to hint at the situation between him and Diane. "Hey, I'm late." Ronald was so angry that he hammered the railing with his hand.

In this way, I can only hope that Leigh Thompson will not be selected for "Red Dawn", or that Elizabeth Shue's Harvard teacher will be reasonable and let her film the movie.
