Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 115 Encounter in the air

Not everyone, like Ronald, dislikes packing parties. For the director, the packing party is just a temporary break, and he will soon start the hard work of editing and mixing.

But for actors, packing parties are a rare occasion for carnival and celebration. Especially for an actor like Elizabeth Shue, who continues to study at Harvard. "The Dragon King" was like an amazing experience and she drank a lot of champagne at the party.

"Elizabeth, do you want to continue working in Hollywood? Just follow me and I'll guarantee you a starring role." Chad McQueen, a second-generation star, drank too much at the party and began to harass Elizabeth Sue.

This kind of Harvard top student is a novel challenge for him. Unlike those pretty girls in Hollywood who aspire to be in the industry, this one actually has brains.

"Don't do anything, stay away from her." Pat Johnson came over and separated him and Su. This is a martial artist with a sense of justice who does not rely on the film and television industry to make money.

"Okay, okay..." Chad McQueen took a step back, "This party is too bad. I'm going to a better place. It's hosted by Stallone. Whoever wants to go, come with me."

"Yeah, Sly." Several second-generation star buddies called Stallone by his nickname, and they went noisily to a party hosted by Stallone with him.

"Hi, Sly. I'm Chad and my dad is Steve McQueen." Chad McQueen arrived at the new party location drunk, but he still had some sanity and knew that he was just a deceased superstar. His son is not the same as Clint Eastwood, so he first went to the party host to say hello.

"Hi, hello, what have you been busy with lately?" Stallone turned around and hugged Chad. This kid's father, Steve McQueen, is an action superstar. It can be said that he has opened up a path for action-oriented actors like himself, allowing Stallone to still retain a little respect.

"I just finished filming a movie, 'The Kid,' which is very similar to your 'Rocky'. It's an inspirational counterattack story." Chad chatted quickly. He didn't have much experience chatting with Stallone.

"Really, haha." Stallone immediately left Chad aside and went to greet others, "Hello..."

"Uh..." Chad, who was asking for trouble, focused his energy on the various beauties at the party.

"Go and find out about that little boy Ronald's new movie." Stallone knew it was Ronald Lee's new movie that he disliked very much, so he whispered to the agent next to him.

"We just finished filming. It was invested by a layman record company owner. I guess he was deceived by the director..." The agent is also from CAA.

Knowing about Ronald's project, he reported it to Stallone in detail.

A half-smile appeared on Stallone's face (half of his cheek muscles and nerves were damaged and he couldn't smile). As Hollywood's hottest action star in the past two years, he is increasingly enjoying his power.

The little boy who heard that the woman his brother fell in love with ran away has made a new movie, and it's probably just another bad exploitation movie. Do you want to copy the story of your own screenwriter's famous "Rocky" movie? Then let him see what it means to be a top male star, hehe...

Stallone noticed a beautiful woman with excellent temperament coming to the party, "Who is that?"

The agent who was reporting the situation of "Longwei Boy" was stunned by this sudden turn, "Ah... look, that woman with short brown hair? She is Rachel Ward. Australian. Next to her is her boyfriend. Bryan Brown is also an actor.”

The agent's professionalism brought him back to his senses, and he gave the name and resume of the actress and the man next to her.

"Hi, Rachel, welcome to my party." Stallone got the beauty's name and stepped forward to hug Ward warmly.

"Hello sly, this is my boyfriend, Brian. We just got engaged."

"Engagement?" Stallone's interest was greatly reduced. Engagement in Hollywood has many meanings, some of which mean marriage, but a formal wedding has not yet been held. "

But Stallone took another look at Rachel Ward. This beautiful woman had a very delicate appearance and a dash of heroism between her eyebrows, which gave Stallone a different feeling.

"When you break up, you can come to me." Stallone handed Rachel Ward a business card of his agent, and then left gracefully.

"Hahaha..." Beauty Ward was amused and put the business card in her small bag.

"Hi", Ward's engaged boyfriend Brian was a very strong man. He grabbed the business card, tore it into pieces and threw it on the ground. "Do you still want to date him?"

"You?" Rachel Ward looked at her boyfriend's gaffe and was a little angry for a moment. This level of harassment is very common in Hollywood. "He's a big star in Hollywood, I'm just giving him his contact information."

"Do you want to be with him?" Brian drank too much, got a little drunk, and threw the glass on the ground. The Australian's straightforward temper, coupled with the angry part of the Irish in his blood, came into play, leaving Rachel Ward behind.

Rachel's eyes were a little red in anger. She looked at the fragments of the business card on the ground and the looks from the side, took out her sunglasses and put them on, and then left without looking back.

Early the next morning, Ronald arrived at the airport with his luggage. He was wearing a handmade suit and a pair of boat shoes. He was clean shaven and his hair was neatly combed. He was dressed like a top student from an Ivy League school.

"Sir, by the window or by the aisle."

"aisle"

Weintraub sent him a first-class ticket, so Ronald was able to enjoy better service. He got on the plane early, sat down, took out a book and started reading.

"Sorry, can you let me in?" Rachel Ward appeared on the same flight. She wore big sunglasses to cover her face and asked Ronald politely.

"Ah, of course." Ronald stood up, helped Ward put the luggage on it, and then stepped aside to let Rachel Ward go in and sit in the window seat.

Without seeing her appearance under the big sunglasses, Ronald only felt that her figure seemed a bit familiar and she walked with a good temperament. He turned around and read his book again.

As the plane flew into the sky, Rachel Ward rarely saw a man like Ronald who was indifferent to his appearance. She turned her head to see what books Ronald was reading, which was more attractive than her own. .

"Journey to the Sunset Strip - Analysis of Billy Wilder's Films"

"Are you a film school student? Is this your homework?" Rachel Ward took off her sunglasses and asked Ronald.

"Ah, no. I have dropped out of school. But this does not prevent me from reading movie books. This one is very interesting. It takes out all of Billy Wilder's movies and analyzes his scheduling." Ronald was reading enthusiastically. When asked, he looked to the side.

"I have never read a book analyzing directors." Ward looked at Ronald and smiled. She had a beautiful smile, her eyes were curiously exploring, and she had a sense of innocence.

"You're not that..." Ronald remembered where he had seen this face, no wonder he was wearing sunglasses.

"You played Maggie in 'The Thorn Birds'" Ronald thought of her, the beauty who starred in that miniseries with Barbara Stanwyck and who still had long hair in "The Thorn Birds."

"Rachel Ward" Ward shook hands with Ronald.

"Oh, I'm Ronald Lee. I'm a movie director."

"Yeah, of course." Rachel Ward suddenly lost interest in Ronald. He lied about being a movie director at such a young age, even though he recognized himself as a movie actor.

Ronald, to his own displeasure, began reading Billy Wilder's books again.

"Ronnie!" Arriving at New York's JFK Airport, Ronald saw his high school sweetheart, Douglas Hansen III Jr., coming to pick him up.

"Doug," the two friends hugged warmly.

"Click, click!" Many reporters were rushing to take photos.

Ronald looked in the direction where they were taking pictures, and it turned out to be Rachel Ward, who was sitting next to him, leaving with a blond man.

"David! Rachel! Have you rekindled your old relationship?"

"Are you going to collaborate on a movie?"

"No, I'm just here to pick up a good friend. Please leave some space," the man greeted the gossip reporters. Those gossip reporters actually put away their cameras.

"Who is he?" Ronald became curious. The reporter seemed to respect him very much. The blond man's young face was full of pride.

Little Douglas pointed to the sign at the exit.

"Kennedy?" Ronald saw the sign of JFK International Airport.

"Yes, that's David, the son of Robert F. Kennedy, the former attorney general who ran for office and was assassinated. Like his cousin John Jr., he is a frequent attendee of Manhattan discotheques."

Douglas Jr. drove Ronald back to his apartment in lower Manhattan.

"Donna, have you decided which university you want to go to?" Douglas Jr. looked at Donna with a smile, "Why don't you come to my Columbia instead of following your brother's example and going to New York University, which has no campus."

"Ronnie", Donna came up first and hugged Ronald, "I prefer Harvard and MIT"

"MIT, Harvard, whatever." Douglas Jr.'s family did not send him to a prestigious school in New England, but only allowed him to accumulate connections in New York City.

Ronald Da Le, Donna is a female academic, no ordinary person can compare with her.

"How about it? Do you think it's better for us to accept this condition, or to find lawyers and accountants to negotiate with them again?" Ronald told Little Doug about the situation of "Night of the Comet" and asked for his opinion as an investor. .

"I don't know. If I had to choose, I would choose to take the money and leave."

"Why?"

"Easy to worry, I'm not investing in your movie to make money anyway. My grandfather is already very happy to be able to make a profit, saying that I am the third generation of the family who can best find business opportunities while having fun."

"Um, this is a nice thing to say about you, right?" Ronald was completely speechless.

"I am a member of the family. For us, it is not necessary to understand everything. As long as we have professional knowledge and be friends with capable people." Little Doug smiled happily, "My grandpa said that."

"Actually, I'm even more happy that your movie has made me famous, and I can meet more female stars in the future. They won't turn a blind eye to me at parties anymore, hehehe."
