Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 10001 Refuting Rumors

The National Enquirer is a tabloid newspaper. Tabloids not only refer to content that is mainly about gossip, but also have smaller pages than broadsheets everywhere that report serious news. It is convenient for readers to read on the subway and bus.

Agent Richard handed over this issue of the "National Enquirer", and the front page headline showed a photo of Ronald and Brooke Shields. Two men and women over six feet tall were photographed next to the Blair Arch. Photographed walking side by side.

Next to the group photo, on the left and right sides are mugshots of the two people, each with an arrow pointing to the two blurry heads in the group photo.

"Brain beats face and family background?" Below is the headline in yellow font on a red background. Then came the subtitle, "Ronald Lee, the famous R-rated film director, Brooke Shields' new love interest?" Ronald continued reading.

"Does your teeth hurt when you eat hot, cold, sour and sweet foods? A simple way to get rid of your troubles..."

"Oh, this isn't about me and Brooke Shields." Ronald looked away from the subtitle under the photo that had nothing to do with him, and opened the inside page of the newspaper. There was a page dedicated to his love story with Brooke Shields. .

The chapter begins by recounting the famous CK Jeans commercial directed by Ronald, Brooke Shields, and then lists by category the rumored boyfriends of Brooke Shields, who is known as the "new look of the 1980s."

Categorized in the "face" column are John Travolta, Matt Dillon, and teen idol Leif Garrett. Ronald didn't really believe these rumors, especially Dillon. In fact, he knew that he was tricked by Brooke's mother Terry into taking photos for the media.

Next is classified in the "family background" column, there is Prince Albert of the Principality of Monaco. The two participated in the Monaco celebrity tennis match at the same time, and there are photos of riding on the same yacht.

"This man's fortune line is so high, why didn't Grace Kelly inherit some of his looks from him?" Ronald began to complain. There are very strong competitors in this column.

Then there is the wealthy Egyptian businessman Dodi Fayyad, the grandson of King Ibn Saud’s physician. Owns many properties including Harrods department store in London. He once invested in the British film "Chariots of Fire" and was photographed meeting Brooke in Paris.

"I thought he was a Saudi prince. I heard there are many princes there. He is just the prince's doctor."

Finally, there is the darling of all American mothers, John F. Kennedy Jr., the son of the former commander-in-chief, the little boy who saluted the coffin at his father's funeral. Now a celebrity in New York and a student at Brown University, he once persuaded Brooke to go to Brown University in Rhode Island.

Ronald's smile gradually solidified,

This is different from the first two. The American people have transferred their memory of the assassinated commander to the son with the same name as his father. Everyone is waiting for him to grow up and see what career he will have. Thousands of girls also dreamed of marrying him and becoming his wife.

Maybe Brooke Shields has such thoughts.

Then Ronald looked over to him, and there was only a solitary head.

Actress Michelle Pfeiffer, this newspaper's reliable source said she and Ronald Lee were once lovers, but Pfeiffer is already married to another actor, Horton.

It is believed that this promising actress, in addition to starring in the heroine of "Grease 2", is also the heroine of the upcoming Brian De Palma's new film "Scarface", and Al Pacino partner.

Ronald felt a little uncomfortable. Didn't this form bury himself? On Brooke's side, she was either dating a kid from an aristocratic family or a star in the film and music industry. Pfeiffer was the only person on his side, and then he casually introduced himself as an R-rated film director who had also filmed the "infamous" CK jeans commercial, which plunged Brooke into controversy.

"How do they know that Pfeiffer and I used to be a couple?" Ronald asked. He was not a celebrity like Brooke, so no one would dig up his love history.

"You were involved in a dispute with that vegetarian extremist group in New York, and you helped her apply for a court injunction, remember? That is public information in the court and can be checked," said agent Niceta.

"I've contacted Pfeiffer's agent, Limato, and he said he'll take care of it, but you might want to call Pfeiffer and say hello."

"I know, just wait until I'm done." Ronald sighed, after all, he had disturbed other people's peaceful married life.

"Terry was in Princeton and was interviewed by the media together with her daughter." Niceta brought a videotape, and the video that was played was the interview video of mother and daughter in front of the school gate.

"I hope that my daughter will keep her innocence as long as possible. The longer the better, she is a Catholic. I believe that Brooke will keep her vows and retain her innocence on the eve of the wedding." Terry, wearing a white dress, appeared on the TV Before setting the tone for her daughter’s scandal.

"Ronald is Brooke's friend. They have collaborated in an advertisement for CK jeans. This time he came to Princeton for the filming of the new movie 'The Kid'. It's either a date as a couple or a meeting with old friends."

Ronald touched his ears. Terry was a smart woman. She knew that Ronald and Brooke had a crush on each other. If she categorically denied that they were not dating, her daughter might be unhappy. So mentioning Ronald's new movie would be considered. Show kindness in disguise. "

Brooke wore a black and white top and skirt, with a string of pearl necklaces around her neck. She explained to reporters that she asked them not to secretly take photos of herself as it would cause disturbance to her college classmates and her friends.

"Next time you date a star like Brooke, remember to inform us in advance so that I can find a good publicist for you." Niceta winked at Ronald.

It was already the evening of the next day. The two agents, frightened by the overwhelming gossip news, rushed to the filming location to discuss with Ronald. Brooke's mother Terry was very comfortable handling this kind of thing, and she contacted the media herself to clarify the rumors.

It was getting dark, and Ronald began to prepare for the night show. Continuing with yesterday's plot, Ali and Daniel were playing football on the beach and fell to the ground together. The foursome from the Cobra Gym passing by on motorcycles just above saw their ex-boyfriend Johnny getting angry and rushing down to argue with Ali. .

Ronald first took a shot of several motorcycle teenagers roaring towards him. In the dark night, several motorcycle headlights first came into the camera from a distance, then the sound of roaring engines, and finally the leather-clad teenager riding a motorcycle.

The red leather coat worn by William Zebka is particularly eye-catching. His companion spotted Ali on the beach below and motioned for him to look over.

"Hey, you guys are in the past tense." His friend's kind-hearted advice only added fuel to the fire in Johnny's eyes, and he rushed down to talk to Ali about getting back together.

"Cut!" Ronald was very satisfied with the performance of the leading actors. Two weeks of rehearsals made everyone aware of where the plot was now and how much effort was needed to perform the desired emotions.

In addition, Ronald used sequential shooting, and the actor's mentality changed according to the plot, and the succession and transition were very good.

Associate Producer Charles Okun came up and said, "Ronald, I want to ask, why do you want to turn on the headlights of the motorcycle and turn off the front lights?"

Ronald looked around and then remembered that Susan Akins didn't come to the beach today either. The associate producer, Charles Okun, began to take the opportunity to challenge his decision in front of everyone.

"I have no obligation to explain it to you." Ronald did not speak, but asked the crew to further prepare for the next fight scene.

"Ronald, Susan is not here. I have the right and obligation to raise my own questions during the filming process." Charles Okun looks good, and he is still very graceful in his sixties. When he spoke, those crew members who didn't know the inside story were a little shaken by what he said.

"Then let's wait until the samples are developed and printed, and we'll look at them with Mr. Weintraub. Now continue working."

"Well, I just want to make the best movie possible. Your script is good, but the movie is..."

"Continue to arrange the next scene." Ronald waved all the staff to continue working, interrupting Charles Okun's intention to continue questioning his own plans.

Ali brought a cassette recorder with two large speakers, playing pop music.

"Ally, I want to talk to you." Johnny pressed the stop button and said to Ali.

Elizabeth Sue is still wearing the same sweater and blue hairpin as yesterday. These are the parts that the scene recorder is responsible for, so that the scenes, costumes and sets that were shot at different times are consistent.

"I don't want to tell you that we are over." Ali pressed the play button again.

"But I want to say it!" Johnny couldn't control his anger and pressed the stop button again. After a verbal exchange between the two, Johnny threw the cassette player onto the beach.

"You broke my tape recorder!" Ali's voice became louder and she pushed Johnny away.

Daniel went over and picked up the tape recorder.

"Don't move, you idiot." Johnny turned his anger on Daniel. Seeing that Daniel wanted to return the recorder to Ali, he pushed him to the ground.

Daniel stood up and rushed over to express dissatisfaction to him, but he swept his leg and tripped him. Then when he stood up, he turned over and kicked again, giving Daniel a powerful blow.

This action is actually a Korean Taekwondo technique that has been integrated into Korean karate - Tang Shou Do. Pat Johnson has been training William Zebka for four weeks, and he's done a great job.

Daniel stood up from the beach again, sneaked up on Johnny, and punched him in the nose. When Daniel was in New Jersey, he practiced on his own for a period of time following karate books. Johnny was unprepared and was made very embarrassed by him.

"Cut!" Ronald was very happy that he had left two weeks to film all the action scenes between the two of them with Sony cameras, and then studied them. The two of them have cooperated with each other countless times in this kind of fighting action. When Ralph Mazio hit him, William Zebka had to dodge, otherwise his nose would really be blown.

"Will this action seem too intense? When it comes time to rate..." Associate Producer Charles Okun came up again to "give advice" and said it loudly on purpose.

Many staff members looked over, and they were a little hesitant about the behavior of the holder of the title of producer, who has the highest status on the scene, openly challenging the director's authority.

Ronald looked around and understood a little bit. Only a few people who went to see the sample film knew about Weintraub's tragicomedy yesterday, but the general public did not. They saw this when they saw fellow associate producer Susan Aikins not show up today and when Charles Okun started an open challenge.

"But, who gave him the courage?" Ronald wondered. Did Weintraub and Susan Akins have my strong backing?

"Continue shooting first. If there is any problem, I will be responsible." Ronald chose to take full responsibility and ordered the crew to continue shooting.

Charles Okun seemed to have achieved his goal and stopped talking.

Weintraub was not around and did not see the dailies after filming was completed. Ronald and his agent, who had been waiting for him on set, went to Michelle Pfeiffer's agent, Ed Limato.

"Ronnie, Ronnie, do you want to be interviewed to confirm your history with Pfeiffer? And by the way, mention your and Pfeiffer's new movie." Limato smiled and hugged Ronald.

"No, I'd better not disturb Pfeiffer's married life. Just deny it." Ronald read the report today and felt nameless anger towards John F. Kennedy Jr., and also towards Brooke's handling of the matter. A little uncomfortable.

If I take the opportunity to clarify the past with Pfeiffer, I can promote their new film. But Pfeiffer's husband was about as uncomfortable as she was.

"Confucius said, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you," Ronald said.

"What?" Limato didn't understand.

"I say what Confucius said, don't gossip about others."

"Hahaha, okay, give her a call and tell her yourself." Limato didn't force her and dialed Pfeiffer's number.

"Hello, Michelle, it's me, Ronald. I'm sorry to involve you in this matter." Ronald picked up the phone and said.

"Oh, Ronnie. It's okay, I have a chance to appear on the screen." Michelle Pfeiffer's delicate voice sounded in Ronald's ears, and she then asked, "Are you really with Brooke...?" "

"No, we were just photographed walking together. What her mother clarified was the truth." Ronald felt that he was a bit innocent and not really together.

"Okay, I thought you proposed to her, hahaha."

"Is it so obvious?" Ronald thought to himself. Could it be that he really had this problem before? When I see a girl, I want to tie him up. It seems that among all my previous girlfriends, only my ballet girlfriend Antonia also longs for marriage. Maybe because she is also a Catholic?

"When will your new movie be released? I heard it's co-starring Al Pacino."

"I'm the heroine, but it's mainly a gangster movie. The most I can do is be a vase. The premiere is on December 1st. Will you come? I'll ask Limato to give you an invitation."

"Um... I'm still filming. Maybe next time I have a chance..."

"So...that's it?" Michelle Pfeiffer said.

"That's it, bye." Ronald hung up the phone.

Michelle Pfeiffer on the other end was chewing an apple at her home. She sighed softly and hung up the phone.
