Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Brooke, welcome to the Today Show."

"Thank you for having me on the show."

In the 8G studio on the eighth floor of the RCA Building at the NBC headquarters in New York, Brooke Shields is being interviewed by NBC's flagship program "Today", which is broadcast on time from 7 to 9am Eastern Time every morning.

"Recently there have been new rumors about your romantic love. The National Enquirer said that you are dating Ronald Lee, the director of two blockbuster R-rated films. Is this report true?"

After chatting about Brooke Shields' college life at Princeton and the plot and release schedule of the new film "Sahara," the host broke down the most eye-catching news about Brooke Shields.

"Well...Ronald and I are good friends. He shot my first CK jeans commercial..."

The host smiled. Everyone knew the slogan about Brooke and Calvin having nothing to do with each other. Although it was banned in New York for a period of time, all teenage fans knew it.

"Later, when I was filming 'Endless Love', he was also director Zeffirelli's assistant and helped me a lot in acting."

"So you're just friends?"

"Yes, we are friends." Brooke Shields showed her charming smile and nodded in affirmation.

"Don't you have a date at Princeton?" The host continued to ask the questions that had been communicated in advance.

"No, his new movie was shot in Princeton, and we happened to meet each other. We had dinner with the crew, and he sent me back to the dormitory." Brooke Shields denied with a smile. A very cute dimple appeared on her right cheek, and the one on the left The dimples are not obvious.

"Anyway, Ronnie and I are dating later, so that's not a lie..." Bo Ji thought.

"What qualities are you attracted to in men?" The host did not follow a list of questions, but improvised a question that high school and college boys across the United States wanted to know the answer to.

Brooke Shields was a little nervous, her throat began to tighten, and she couldn't help but raise her voice, "I think it's that romantic quality, uh... uh..." This is the standard that her mother and the public relations company discussed to deal with this kind of problem. Answer.

Poji used the method she learned when she was a model, pressing her abdomen with one hand to minimize the discomfort of lying.

Then he moved his other hand away from his chest and slightly corrected his answer, "Having romantic qualities... that will attract me."

"A romantic man..." the host repeated.

"Well..." Bo Ji adjusted her sitting posture, "On the other hand, I think it is also important to feel comfortable with him. I hope he can treat me as an ordinary person...

"Ordinary people...?"

"Yes, many times I have the opportunity to meet many people, but I feel that sometimes it is difficult to communicate with them... There are many barriers to communication. It makes me feel that he is a real person and laugh with him, That's important to me."

Bo Ji seemed to be thinking of someone, her eyes blinked rapidly, and her long eyelashes glowed under the light.

"Pfft... Hahaha..." She couldn't help laughing.

"Put another way, do you want that man to really forget that you are 'Brooke Shields'?"

"I think so." Brooke Shields kept smiling and ended the interview.

Three hours later, Ronald turned on the TV in Los Angeles to watch the recording. The "Today Show" is guaranteed to be broadcast from 7 to 9 every morning in America's time zone.

"We are just friends, not dating..." Ronald looked at Brooke Shields chatting on the TV, feeling a little bitter in his heart. It's one thing for two people to communicate in private together, but it's another thing entirely to deny their relationship with her in front of millions of viewers on a live TV show.

"I hope he has romantic qualities... Hahaha..." Ronald felt even more uncomfortable. Romantic qualities, he just treated Brooke to a salad and a burger, and then asked her to take a shower in the hotel, and Romance seems completely irrelevant.

"Bang bang bang bang..." Suddenly the music of NBC News started playing, and the TV cut to the news host, with a line of special effects fonts below that read "Breaking News."

"Dear viewers, we interrupt the original program schedule to give you a real-time news break. Korean Air Flight 007, which took off from Alaska to Seoul, flew over the Bering Strait early in the morning local time. Falling into the sea next to Sakhalin Island.

There were 240 passengers and 29 crew members on board, including American Congressman Larry McDonough. He was originally scheduled to attend the 30th anniversary ceremony of the signing of the U.S.-South Korea Mutual Defense Treaty...

There is news that No. 007 was shot down by a Soviet Union jet fighter with a missile. NBC will continue to report for you. "

"Ah? Is this going to be a world war?" Ronald was shocked.

If there was a real world war, wouldn't a young man of his own age be drafted into the army? Thinking of the nuclear weapon sword hanging over the heads of the people of the world, Ronald couldn't help but have the idea of ​​​​drinking now and getting drunk tomorrow.

"Forget it, let's go see Diane filming 'Streets of Rage'." For some reason, Ronald was thinking of Diane Lane at this time.

He put on his leather jacket, helmet and sunglasses and rode his high-powered Honda motorcycle to the "Streets of Rage" studio. After searching twice, I found the shooting place.

"Isn't this place already demolished?" Ronald asked strangely as he watched the staff lead him into the studio. This is a small studio where the concert of rock star Ellen Ann played by Diane was originally filmed.

"Ronald, you're here. This place was demolished, but it was rebuilt a week ago."

The person who spoke was the film’s music director Jim Steinman, “Bruce Springsteen, who originally used it as the theme song, canceled the authorization for the theme song of the same name, so I had no choice but to rewrite a song and remake it.”

"Oh why"

"He didn't want his songs to be sung by women." Steinman smiled wryly. Springsteen, known as the king of blue-collar singers, didn't want Steinman's female vocal band to cover his songs.

Ronald looked around and found that the crew had actually built the concert set all over again.

"I remember this set, it cost a million dollars..."

"This song deserves a million dollars," said a backing singer brought by Steinman, holding a sheet of lyrics and music.

"Who are you?" Ronald remembered that the person who sang the theme song was another female singer named Laurie Sargent.

"Holly Sherwood," the female singer introduced herself, "Steinman knew there was something wrong with the authorization, so he wrote the song in one night." She looked at Steinman with eyes full of admiration.

"Holly will be singing Diane's voice today. Last time it was Sargent, and this time it's her turn."

Ronald looked over and saw the name of the song written on the score, "tonight is what it means to be young."

"Ronald, welcome." The producer next to him, Joel Silver, saw Ronald coming in and hugged him happily. Ronald is his favorite kind of director, and he has completed exploitation films with high quality and quantity. piece.

"I thought you were done filming."

"There's a little problem. We have to reshoot the last concert. Wait a minute... I think director Walter Hill is about to start filming."

Ronald stopped talking and looked up the stage.

In a corner, Diane Lane was looking at each other with the male protagonist Parr, and next to them was a camera filming them at close range.

"!" Walter Hill gave an order, and the buzzing camera started filming.

Next to it was a band of four black people, performing a song. Alan Ahn, played by Diane, touches the cheek of Cody, the male protagonist played by Parr.

"That's it? Is it the end?" She said affectionately, and her lines were recorded by the microphone held by the sound engineer above.

Ronald looked over from a distance. Diane was wearing a red costume designed by Armani himself, with a deep V opening on the back that reached her waist. She wore red high-heeled shoes. The diamonds on her clothes and shoes sparkled under the illumination of the red ambiguous light. glow.

"Diane is really sexy..." Ronald didn't look at Diane wearing this costume from behind last time. The white skin, mixed with the red light, gives people a very tempting feeling.

"Listen, I'm not someone who goes to concerts with you." Parr showed off his 100% acting skills and looked cynical, "But if you need me in the future, I will definitely be there. "

Then Parr held Diane's face and kissed it.

Their lips touched each other only lightly.

"Uh..." Ronald swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, cursed in his heart, and wished he could go up and replace him.

Diane closed her eyes, and she tightened her lips, not allowing Parr to kiss her deeply. After waiting three seconds, Diane opened her eyes, and Parr had to separate his lips... otherwise the shot would be in vain.

"Cut!" director Walter Hill stopped filming. This passionate kiss scene is finally finished. The two male and female leads had no chemistry on the set, so they could only shoot this scene in close-up to avoid capturing Diane's disgusted look at Parr before and after.

"Move to the next scene." The director gave the order, and the crew began to move the camera and rearrange the lights. What follows will be a scene of Diane on stage playing a rock singer, singing the song Steinman wrote.

"Ronnie, are you here?" Diane touched up her makeup and saw Ronald standing in the audience, wearing a leather jacket and standing out from the crowd. She thought about the past when the two of them rode a motorcycle together.

"Yeah, if you need me, I will definitely show up." Ronald looked at Diane walking over. She used dark eye shadow for stage makeup, and her eyebrows and eyelashes were also deliberately painted with heavy makeup. It looks very charming under the light. "

"I knew you were coming..." Diane punched Ronald in the chest.

"I will be shooting for a long time today and then go to the packing party in the evening."

"I'm waiting for you……"

The shooting continued, and the million-dollar lighting engineer was invited back. The light he set on the ceiling shined through the layers of smoke, and there was an obvious light path, very much like the light leading to heaven.

"Get ready...!" The shooting started.

The music at the beginning of "Dang, Dang, Dang..." was obviously deliberately designed by Steinman. The piano keys were pressed heavily, bringing a sense of holiness of religious music, with the sound of rock and roll drums, which seemed strangely very harmonious.

A camera shoots a close-up of Diane's hands.

She slowly raised the old-fashioned microphone and put it to her mouth.

"I had a dream about an angel on the beach and the perfect waves started coming

Golden ribbons flew out of his hair, and his touch had the power to stun people.”

The high-pitched, ethereal voice was sung live by Holly Sherwood. Diane performed very well on stage. She followed the sound with movements and showed what a rock star should look like.

Ronald had no time to appreciate Diane's acting skills. He was completely attracted by Diane's appearance. If he hadn't known in advance that someone was singing on his behalf, he would have been really immersed in Diane's performance.

"But I saw no angels in the city,

I didn't hear any holy choir singing.

If I can't get an angel,

I can still get a boy!

The boy will be the best thing under the angel,

It's the best thing under the angels! "

Diane held the microphone in one hand and stretched out the other hand backwards. Under the light, he looked like a mortal shouting to heaven. If no angel comes, why not give me a boy?

The lighting engineer specially created a silhouette effect. Looking from the direction of Ronald, the girl's face was shrouded in darkness, with only her hands and body, like a goddess exuding infinite attraction.

"Ting ting ting ting..." The drummer began to hit the cymbals rhythmically, and then the bass continued the rhythm of the drums, launching the climax of the melody, and then the lead guitar relay played the first part of the song. Cadenza.

Diane's hips began to twist and the light illuminated her beautiful face.

Gulao

"Woo..." The synthesizer made a roar from low to high. Ronald's adrenaline was suddenly stimulated by the sound, and he was shaking with excitement.

"I had a dream about a boy in a castle,

He dances like a cat on the stairs,

There is a prince's fire in his eyes,

There was a thunderous drumbeat in his ears. "

Diane continued to sing, and the colorful neon lights in the background of the stage lit up, forming strange symbols.

She also felt something coming, and kept twisting on the stage. The hundreds of extra performers below were driven into a frenzy, and they began to keep in tune with the rhythm, raising their hands to their heads and applauding.

"I'm not an angel, but at least I'm a girl!

I have a dream that when the darkness ends, we will lie under the halo of the sun! "

The more Diane sang, the more excited she became. Her facial features seemed to twist together and she let out the strongest roar!

"It will all end tonight,

Before you know it she starts.

That's all we really got tonight

Stop crying and hold on tight,

Before tonight is over...

Tonight is what being young is all about! "

The four black singers lined up and danced. They surrounded Diane, and the stars were shining.

Diane kept repeating, "Tonight is what being young is all about!"

She clenched her fists and began to punch the air again and again.

The lights on the stage began to flicker in time with Diane's swings.

Suddenly, almost all the lights went out, leaving only a few lights from behind that shone from Diane's back, revealing her beautiful figure to Ronald's eyes like a paper cut.

Ronald couldn't help himself and waved his arms together with the extras.

"You never know what it means

But you will know how I feel about you!

It will end!

Before you know it it's started! "

The strong light flashed a few times, darkening the audience's eyes, and then returned to normal.

Ronald's eyes also went dark for half a second, and then he saw only the black people and the band on the stage, surrounding Diane again, and a beam of overhead light covering her, focusing on her, bringing her beauty to all the audience.

Ronald only felt that all the music, the audience's shouts, and the sound of the big crane camera had all disappeared, leaving only Diane's almost violent shouting voice.

“Tonight is what being young is all about!

Tonight is what being young is all about! "

"Cut!" Director Walter Hill stopped the shooting, "Great! Perfect!"

Diane Lane's performance exceeded his expectations and was very immersive. Not only was she extremely powerful in the camera, but the audience was also moved by this scene. After dozens of seconds, they began to applaud in unison.

The shooting was intermittent and continued into the evening. Diane, who had sung on stage more than a dozen times, was already very tired. Entering the state wholeheartedly, she was even more exhausted than the singer Holly Sherwood.

But today's state is very good, and all the understanding of Alan An's character burst out today.

"Water", she reached out to her attendant Ma Lin.

"Slow down." When Diane looked up, it was Ronald who took over Marlene's responsibilities and handed over a large plastic water cup with a straw inserted.

"Thank you!" Diane and Ronald looked at each other and smiled.

“The filming of ‘Streets of Rage’ is all packed up, and here’s the packing party. You can go to the nearby studio, it’s ready.

Ronald slowly lifted up Diane, who was a little exhausted. After exerting all his strength for a long time, the adrenaline wore off and Diane felt a little cold all over and started to tremble.

"You put this on." Ronald took off his leather jacket and put it on Diane, covering her naked back.

Diane felt a warmth, and the manly scent of Ronald came through the leather jacket and involuntarily penetrated into Diane's nose.

"Okay, let's go to the party." Diane smiled and took Ronald's arm, and the two of them walked to the party venue next door.

At the party next door, many large bottles of champagne had been opened, and everyone was toasting in celebration. The filming of the last scene was obviously like a miracle, and all the creators were very happy. It was an epic ending to the movie.

Ronald accompanied Diane and watched her chat with everyone. The protagonist tonight was undoubtedly this beautiful goddess who had successfully transformed from a child star.

Only the male lead Parr was a little dissatisfied, as he didn't have much of a role tonight. Apart from kissing scenes, he doesn't have many scenes.

Moreover, after filming for such a long time, Diane always treated him with sincerity and aloofness, which made Parr, who regarded himself as a romantic and talented person, a little unhappy. Seeing that Diane had become the focus of the party and the most beautiful woman in the room, he started to get ready to move forward again and went to congratulate her.

"Diane, you are so beautiful tonight. Our kiss scene will leave something in the history of movies."

"Pfft..." It was Ronald who couldn't help but laugh next to him. Diane was obviously perfunctory in the kiss scene. Ronald, who looked a little annoyed at first, saw Diane's refusal to be thousands of miles away, and he couldn't help but feel angry. Understand that there is no spark between them at all.

"What, you're not satisfied with what I said?" Parr heard Ronald's laughter, and he came up and pushed Ronald.

"Hey, don't be impulsive." Ronald took a half step back, not sharing his common understanding.

"What's wrong with you!" Diane was dissatisfied and pushed back hard.

"Hi, Diane. I send you flowers every day, but you don't accept my invitation. As soon as this director comes over, you take the initiative to post him. Do you think I don't have the power as him, or do you think I don't have the grace?"

Parr drank a few too many drinks, and may have smoked something he shouldn't have done before, so his words became impulsive.

"You said it yourself..." Ronald took half a step forward and stood between him and Diane.

"Yeah, aren't you just a freeloader?" Diane felt relieved when she saw Ronald protecting her. In addition, the filming was over, so she accidentally spoke out what was on her mind.

Pal looked around and saw the people next to him, all looking at him with contempt, as if they all agreed with Diane's assertion.

He became furious all of a sudden, took out the butterfly knife in his pocket, flicked the knife for a while, then took the handle of the knife and leaned towards Diane, "You Bichi , I rely on my acting skills... ahem..."

When Ronald saw that the other party had used a knife, he was afraid that he would make some dangerous move while drunk, so he grabbed the wrist of Parr holding the knife and twisted it back.

Palm immediately made a very awkward posture, his arm was twisted behind his back by Ronald, and with a clang, the butterfly knife fell to the ground.

Ronald snapped and kicked it sideways. Then send Pal forward.

Parr pushed back a few steps and sat down on the ground.

"Let's go first..." Ronald and Diane whispered. They greeted the producer and director and left the party first.

"You really came here on a motorcycle?" Diane smiled like a flower.

"Yours", Ronald took out a certain red helmet from the trunk and handed it to Diane, and then got on the Honda motorcycle first.

Diane stepped up from behind and put her arms around Ronald's waist. The leather jacket on her upper body made her feel warm, and she couldn't help but press it against Ronald's back.

"Where to go?"

"Go to my hotel, Beverly Hilton." Diane buried her head on Ronald's shoulder and hugged him tightly.

Ronald started the motorcycle and drove slowly. A gust of autumn wind blew up, causing Diane's skirt to fly.

The two came to the room at the Hilton Hotel that the crew had booked for Diane.

Ronald put down his helmet, turned around and closed the door.

Diane swooped up, hugged Ronald's head, and kissed him fiercely.

"Ugh..." Ronald was stunned for half a second by the attack, and then struck back violently.

He put his hand under the leather jacket that Diane was wearing. Underneath the deep V backless performance costume was Diane's smooth skin.

"Well..." A cry came from Diane's nose.

The lyrics she lip-synced on set appeared in Ronald's mind.

“Tonight is what being young is all about!

Tonight is what being young is all about! "

His mind was filled with the rhythm of this song, asking Diane for more time and time again.

"Wait a minute, this skirt is very expensive,...um"

Ronald didn't want to let go of Diane, so he personally helped her get rid of the expensive evening dress. Then with a deep squat, he picked up Diane and walked to the bedroom.

The two of them kissed and released the rest, and Ronald closed the bedroom door. Under the dim light at night, Diane's white skin glowed with a mysterious shimmer like an ivory sculpture.

Ronald kissed him deeply, and the two hugged each other tightly.

The record "Tonight Is What It Means to Be Young" seemed to be playing in the room, and Diane roared like a rock star in time to the rhythm of the song.

"Let the carnival begin,

Let the fire burn,

Tonight is what being young is all about!

Tonight is what being young is all about! "
