Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 155 The Handle of Love

"Click, click", the photographer continued to take the remaining shots.

Ronald watched from the side and curled his lips. The photographer was a woman, and her aesthetic angle was not very good at photographing Diane's sexy side, and she focused on the cute side.

The photographer's name is Albana Navidze, a beautiful Chinese woman. She also worked as an actress and model before, and once played a supporting role in the famous erotic film "The Story of O".

After the filming was completed, Diane went to change clothes while Ronald stood waiting nearby.

Photographer Naviezer looked at Ronald. His profile was looking at the distance, with a slight smile, looking at the locker room at the end.

This angle perfectly demonstrates Ronald's onlooker's perspective, full of thinking and observation, which is exactly in line with his identity as a director.

So she did the same to Ronald.

"Oh, did you take a picture of me?" Ronald asked, "Don't forget to send it to me then."

"You seem to have different opinions on my shooting." Naviezer saw Ronald curling his lips, how about you take a picture? As she spoke, she handed the 120 medium format camera to Ronald. Professionals never tolerate others looking down upon their professional abilities.

"Ronnie", Diane changed her clothes, wearing a red vest and black trousers, took a puff of cigarette in one hand, and then rubbed her short blonde hair, "Let's go."

Ronald turned the camera's film handle and looked at Diane through the viewfinder. In fact, as long as you look at it from a male perspective, cuteness can immediately turn into sexy.

"Click", just pressing the shutter once was Ronald's style.

"Come on, stop smoking." Ronald went up and took the cigarette from her hand and threw it in the ashtray. "It's not good for the actor's teeth and lungs. You'll have to say long lines in the future."

"I know, brother!" Diane hung on Ronald and kissed him.

"Brother, Ronnie, brother...Ronnie, brother!...Ah!"

Diane hugged Ronald tightly and lay on the bed in Ronald's apartment, her face flushed.

Ronald turned over and lay down, with one hand around Diane's neck and the other hand slowly rubbing her belly.

"Well..." Diane made a comfortable sound like a kitten,

He leaned closer to Ronald's arms and said, "Don't you think I'm fat? Hehehe."

"You seem to have recovered well. You're not too fat now, just a muffin top at most." Ronald touched Diane's slightly protruding belly and said with a smile. "

"Your love handles are similar." Diane snorted and pinched both sides of Ronald's waist.

Unlike Diane's fat on her belly, Ronald's fat appeared on both sides of her waist, slightly bulging.

Diane can be easily grasped to increase speed and frequency, so it is also called the handle of love.

Ronald touched his fat, and sure enough, the continuous filming and reduced exercise still showed the bad effects, and he couldn't even laugh at Diane.

"When are you going to Los Angeles for the premiere of 'Streets of Rage'?" Ronald asked as he helped Diane straighten her messed up hair.

"I'm not going." Diane buried her head in Ronald's chest. "The director and producer both exclaimed to each other after seeing the finished film. Their expressions at that time were like dead people. I don’t want to be embarrassed.”

"You know what? They say that movies still have to have stories. It seems that only pictures and atmosphere can't make a blockbuster movie." Diane took out a hand and touched the "love handle" again, "If I had known this, Why don't you write a good story? I pushed the mermaid over the one that was cheaper..."

"Donna said you don't want to make a movie directed by me, why?" Ronald was tickled by Diane and began to slide his hands up and down her smooth back.

"The road to fame that Bert prepared for me is now only the 'Cotton Club'. The peak of an actress is only a few years. If I don't climb to the top, it will be difficult. I don't want to be an actor anymore. I want to meet my mother and learn about her life." Diane touched Ronald's waist.

"Don't you blame her for 'kidnapping' you?" Ronald was aroused and became a little angry. He sat up and hugged Diane, and the two looked at each other.

"Forget it, she also wants to control my acting career. Now I can hardly find any acting roles. She is my mother after all. I want to get along with her and see if we can get along. I used to think that Donna had your aunt I’m so envious of such a mother.”

"Really?" Ronald's hot breath sprayed on Diane's nose, and she couldn't help but hugged Ronald's head, "Come again."

After a long time, Diane lay on the bed with satisfaction and fell into a deep sleep.

Ronald secretly walked to the study, turned on the computer, and connected the phone line. After a squeaking sound, the modem was connected to the Internet.

After a while of downloading, Ronald opened the BBS reader. In the movie section, he finally found a post that reviewed "Break Dance".

“Last Saturday night I had the unfortunate experience of seeing ‘Break Dance,’ one of the worst movies ever made.

This is a so-called dance movie. While there's some good dancing, it doesn't make up for the dull acting, cheap sets, terrible script, rotten directing, and poor camera work.

Even the dance sequences are poorly shot, with entire dance sequences often missed.

The audience I saw this movie with (in Chicago) was constantly laughing in disgust. Shocking that they didn't tear the theater down out of outrage, or at least demand a refund (I guess this review is helping me vent some of my frustrations.

Obviously, I recommend everyone not to watch it. But for those who still stuck around to see the movie, you'll be happy to know that at the end of the movie, its sequel was also announced.

Professor, University of Chicago. "

"What? It's obvious that you, a professor, can't empathize with ordinary people in such a beautiful movie. Didn't the audience laugh happily?" Ronald closed the post angrily.

It seems that those who use BBS now are all high-level intellectuals, and those who are real viewers have no chance to come up and speak.

“Once Upon a Time in America, the masterpiece is about to be released.”

Ronald scrolled down and saw another post from the professor. He praised the film "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​that premiered at Cannes as being very beautiful and literary. He did not win the award entirely because Europeans suppressed purely American stories.

On the weekend of June 1st, he will go to the cinema on time to watch this masterpiece.

It seems that cultural people still like this kind of movies with "deep meaning" and don't like the kind of exploitation movies made by Ronald.

Although Diane did not want to attend the premiere, Ronald received an invitation from Streets of Rage producer Joe Silver to attend the premiere at the Academy Theater in Beverly Hills.

It is the headquarters of the Hollywood Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and where Oscar nominations are announced each year. Some celebrities live nearby, so several famous celebrities were invited to the opening ceremony.

A few days later, Ronald flew to Los Angeles with his good friend Douglas Jr. to attend the event together.

"Why don't there seem to be no celebrities?" Little Douglas was a little disappointed, "You haven't compensated for my hurt heart. You have to introduce me to a few female celebrities today."

Ronald couldn't help laughing, and Natasha Kinski was introduced to little Douglas by Ronald. The excited little Douglas invited Kinski to dinner, only to discover that she was pregnant.

Kinski also told him that the child belonged to her ex-boyfriend Vincent Spano, but that she was planning to marry the wealthy Egyptian businessman Ibrahim Moussa. Musa also accepted her and the child. But if other producers are willing to ask her to continue making films, she would also like to continue making films.

Little Douglas, who was deeply shocked by the style of Hollywood, focused on staring at the belly of female stars today and would not approach anyone wearing loose clothing.

He was still caught by a slender female star. With the help of Joel Silver, Ronald met the actress of "Moonlight and Panic" and the new generation of scream queen, Jamie. lee curtis (jamie lee curtis).

Little Douglas stepped forward to strike up a conversation, giving full play to the charm of a wealthy New York country man.

Ronald is attracted to an older beauty sitting next to Curtis. She has silver hair, an extraordinary temperament, and her face is very similar to Curtis. Ronald asked tentatively, "Are you Ms. Janet Leigh?"

"Young man, have you also seen my movie?"

It turned out to be Curtis's mother, the heroine of Hitchcock's "Psycho" and the scream queen of the previous generation in Hollywood.

"I am a film director, my name is Ronald. I admire your performance very much." Ronald was very happy to chat with the legendary actress.

"Aha, this makes me feel like I'm back when I was young, and reporters rushed to ask me questions." Janet Leigh smiled self-deprecatingly, "When I was filming Hitch's movie..."

"No, I admire your performance in Orson Welles's 'The Last Day' more. Unfortunately, his original intention was tampered with by the producers. I deeply regret that I have not seen the original appearance of that movie. "

"Oh, you're the first person I've talked to about that movie in a long time. I broke my arm when I was shooting that movie, so my arm was hidden behind me in a cast for a lot of the shots. ” Janet Leigh also preferred Welles’ films.

The two had a good chat, just as Douglas Jr. and Curtis also had a good chat. Until the premiere.

"Well, no wonder this movie didn't work." After watching the finished movie, Ronald found that except for the two amazing concert segments played by Diane at the beginning and the end, the whole movie was relatively lackluster.

All plots are predictable and there are no surprises. And in the end, the male protagonist Cody and Willem Dafoe, who played the villainous boss, actually ended the final battle by hitting each other with two big hammers.

Maybe to get a pg rating? Ronald guessed. There is indeed a big problem with the quality of this movie. There are too many compromises to meet various requirements.

how to say? The entire movie seems to have made too many compromises during editing. Maybe it's to satisfy the requirements of the senior executives, maybe the director doesn't know how to cut it into a story. The whole movie is a little behind the times and maybe it could sell some copies in other markets around the world.

The first weekend of June is over.

"Break Dance" continued to surge at the box office, earning 33 million at the box office when the number of theaters distributed by MGM was reduced to 800. It ranked third behind two blockbuster sequels, "Star Trek: The Search for Spock" and "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark," which each grossed 16 million.

"Streets of Rage" was shown in more than 1,000 theaters, but only received a box office of just over 2.4 million, and there was no hope that the box office could even match the production cost.

The masterpiece "Once Upon a Time in America", which took two years and cost 30 million, was ordered to be cut to 90 minutes by the distributor Warner Bros. It failed miserably at the box office, earning only 2.4 million.

"Break Dance", which grossed 34 million in five weeks after its release, really attracted the attention of many big shots. Ronald's manager, Niceta, began to get higher rankings on the other end of the phone calls he received from the big shots. .
