Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Wow..." The curtain was gently opened, and Diane was still sleeping peacefully on the bed. With a smile on her lips, she dreamed of coming back from a Broadway show as a child, sitting in the back seat of a taxi driven by her father, Bert, and curling up in the seat. sleep.

"Diane, Diane..."

In the dream, Bert called her softly, and the car seemed to be parked in front of the low-rent apartment in downtown.

"Hmm..." Bert's face and voice in Diane's dream gradually turned into Ronald's.

Diane hadn't slept so soundly for a long time. The stress was gone, and the morning sun seemed to have found its body, making it warm.

She opened her eyes and saw Ronald, wearing pajamas, pushing a breakfast cart filled with all kinds of food, and gently calling her name.

"I didn't know what you wanted to eat, so I asked for a little bit."

"Well..." Diane finally hugged the warm quilt, which still contained the crazy atmosphere from last night. . Next to it is the expensive Armani performance suit, neatly placed on the sofa.

She sat up, casually put on Ronald's big shirt, put the pillow behind her back, picked up a glass of milk and took a sip, looked into Ronald's eyes, and said innocently:

"When did you tell Bert about our affairs? He is already preparing the wedding expenses for me, but he doesn't have much money. Don't make the wedding too grand."

Ronald was stunned...Why is Diane such a girl?

"are you sure?"

Diane smiled and nodded, "Burt always said that it's okay to be an actor and experience love, but if you have a boyfriend in your life, you must take it home. He will screen it for me..."

"I'm currently filming 'The Dragon King' and will go back to New York for vacation before Christmas. When will your new film start? Let's find a time."

Ronald thought about his time arrangement, but he didn't expect that his marriage would be decided like this. Diane has always understood that there is nothing wrong with getting married... right?

No, Diane is lying to herself.

Ronald saw the smile that could no longer be suppressed on Diane's face.

"Hahahaha..." Diane burst out laughing and wrapped the quilt tightly, "Donna is absolutely right.

As long as I say this, you will definitely propose on the spot. "

Ronald realized that Diane was joking on him, and he laughed too, reaching out to Diane's armpits to tickle him.

"Hahaha..." Diane's breathing became heavier and she begged for mercy, "Donna and I just want to give it a try."

"Girls just want to have fun?" Ronald remembered what Donna had said to him for no reason that day.

"Yeah, I don't want you to restrict yourself too much. I'm going back to New York soon to join the crew, so I need to eat more. Director Coppola just returned to the set, and he asked me to eat fatter." Diane began to choose breakfast.

"What's the name of your new movie?"

"The Cotton Club."

Diane began to grab bread from the table, mixed it with bacon, and ate it together with sausages and baked beans.

"It's good not to be picky about food." Ronald thought Diane tasted cute.

The two chatted while eating. Coppola had a falling out with producer Robert Evans during the filming of "The Cotton Club." Coppola expressed anger and quit the crew, leaving the investors to work with him and Evans. Vince's choice.

In the end, the studio chose to believe Coppola. They convinced Orion to add an additional $20 million to the budget for this masterpiece, which Coppola had high hopes for.

Ronald couldn't help but frown. The bank loan Coppola owed has not yet been repaid. His house and vineyard are still mortgaged.

After shaking his head, Ronald also started to eat. The physical exertion last night was really quite heavy.

The two fed each other and laughed for a long time.

"Where are you going today?"

"I have nowhere to go, what about you?" Diane wore Ronald's big shirt and went to take a shower with her legs bare.

"The crew is temporarily suspended. Producer Weintraub and Columbia executives are looking at the samples. I will probably go back to work on Monday."

"Then you stay with me for a day." Diane stuck her head out of the bathroom and said.

"Of course." Ronald put together a pair of red diamond high heels that were far away on the floor.

"Dangdang..." Diane quickly finished washing and walked out wrapped in a big bath towel. She hummed the lyrics of "Girls Just Want to Have Some Fun", pretended to be a fashion model, and walked out on tiptoes.

Ronald knew that Diane was imitating his costume change in "Night of the Comet" and whistled in encouragement.

"The girl just wants to have some fun, just wants to have some fun." Diane threw the towel aside like a fashion, walked closer to Ronald, and then sat astride Ronald's lap. Grain disgrace

Ronald looked at Diane's smiling face, gently touched the small scar beside her right eye with his hand, and then hugged her tightly. Ronald was mesmerized by the smooth back and the scent of shampoo in his hair.

At the same time, Weintraub was in a screening room with Columbia executives watching Ronald's first week of dailies.

"Believe me, Ronald definitely has the efficiency to shoot successful exploitation films. Where necessary, he can also shoot very artistic sequences."

Weintraub was putting in a good word for Ronald.

"Let's take a look first." This senior executive from Columbia was originally not from the film and television industry. He came from Coca-Cola and is considered a direct descendant of the current president David Punant.

The screening room began to play the demo without synchronized recording.

First there were two encounters between Daniel and Ali. Daniel fell in love with Ali at first sight and was as fascinated by Ali as if he was struck by lightning. Ali, on the other hand, gradually got to know more about Daniel's personality. When the two met for the second time in the cafeteria, the poor Daniel took out a few one-dollar bills and paid for Ali's lunch together.

The senior management of Columbia was particularly satisfied with this shot. He couldn't help but think of the past when he found his first job at Coca-Cola and met the wife of a city girl. The money was not much, but every encounter was always warm.

Then there are the two encounters between Daniel and Master Miyagi. The first time Daniel went to the repair shop to ask Miyagi to repair the faucet, Miyagi was obsessed with catching flies with chopsticks and ignored Daniel's repair report.

The second time he came to the apartment for repairs, he happened to see Daniel being punched in the panda eye and practicing karate against the book, hoping for revenge.

The Columbia executive turned to Weintraub and said, "Who is this? He seems to be an ordinary repairman. The director Ronald gave him a lot of shots."

"This is Master Miyagi who later taught Daniel karate. His apparent occupation is an apartment repairman, but he is actually a karate master."

"Hmm..." The executive nodded, this setting is quite interesting.

Daniel later went to where his mother worked and found a karate club across the street. He went in and saw a life-size playing card of Chris, and couldn't help but want to go in and see if he could sign up.

Unexpectedly, when he got inside, he saw Johnny and his friends who had beaten him up. He was so frightened that he ran away from the gym quickly.

"How is it? Am I right?" Weintraub was actually watching these samples for the first time, and he was very satisfied with Ronald's handling.

"The filming was good, but the president, Mr. Punante, didn't like his willful character. The director is not qualified to fire the producer. This is the same everywhere."

"This is my problem. During the days when I was not on the set, Charles Okun has been challenging the director's authority in person." Weintraub did not hesitate to excuse Ronald, "I promise, as long as my The influence returns to the crew and this won’t happen again.”

"Are you willing to guarantee it?" the executive wiped his glasses and asked.

"I'm willing to endorse him," Weintraub said of Ronald, who had helped him a lot. "And he has recently been rumored to be having an affair with Brooke Shields. When the movie is released, he can also get a wave of free media. focus on."

"Okay, I will report to Mr. Punant. After the filming is completed, I will come and watch the finished film together."

Ronald, who spent a day in the hotel with Diane, returned home.

The red light on the answering machine flashed and Ronald pressed play.

"Ronald, this is Weintraub. Come to the set on time on Monday. The matter has been resolved. We can continue filming."

On Monday morning, Ronald arrived at the filming location wearing sunglasses.

Diane had already boarded a flight back to New York last night. The Cotton Club was a black jazz dance hall in the Bronx, New York. Coppola restored the appearance of the entire 1920s and waited for her to go there to shoot the scene.

Ronald also set up the scenery here, and the props team and scenery team decorated the apartment downstairs from the original apartment into Master Miyagi's office.

Noriyuki Morita is wearing glasses and holding a pair of scissors, preparing to prune the pine trees in the bonsai.

Ronald's mental and physical strength has returned to its peak. He looked at Morita and started filming on Monday.

"Cut!" Ronald saw that Morita himself failed to cut the bonsai when he was pruning it, and he quickly stopped.

"Master Miyagi is a horticulturist and artist, so it's impossible for him to not cut it all at once."

"Cut!" After Morita finished pruning the pine branches, he made two more empty cuts.

"The artist will keep his movements to a minimum. He will not cut without thinking carefully."

"Cut!" Ronald also laughed. Noriyuki Morita had already cut off the bonsai until there was not much left.

"That way, you make a look like you're thinking about pruning, and then you look back and see Daniel walking in."

"Diane is like a ball of fire. He seems to be a little too excited." Ronald poured a cup of black tea from the thermos cup to steady his rhythm.

"Very good, this shot passed."
