Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 175 Father’s Relic

“Promote the spirit of public safety and social harmony

Awarded to:

Ronald Lee"

"Is this what the commander-in-chief awarded you?" Aunt Karen touched the wooden gilded certificate that Ronald brought back, feeling very happy, "Why is it called public safety and social harmony?"

"Because I filmed 'Break Dance' to unite all ethnic groups, and then participated in the T\u0026T's publicity activities." Ronald pointed to the small print on the certificate and read it to his aunt:

"For your outstanding work as a director, you have witnessed the unity of the people of America and set a good example for young people.

Thank you for investing your pursuit of film art, and the creativity, focus, time and energy you have shown in it, into the campaign against youth drunk driving..."

"This is a photo of me and the president and his wife during the award ceremony." Ronald took out another photo taken by the White House reporter.

Aunt Karen took the photo and became even more excited. Above, Ronald showed his talents, standing together with the commander-in-chief and his wife, with both hands and the commander-in-chief holding one side of the certificate.

"You have to put one here with me." Aunt Karen looked at the photo again and again.

"This is for you. I specifically asked them to develop two copies." Ronald sent several photos to his aunt. After this interview, Ronald did not go back to Los Angeles with the others, but went to New York to meet his aunt and share the happiness.

"I'm really proud of you, Ronnie." Aunt Karen patted Ronald's hand, very pleased, "Wait a minute, I have something important to give to you."

As she spoke, her aunt went to the bedroom, took out a small wooden box from the cupboard, and handed it to Ronald.

"This is a relic left by your parents. Originally, my sister said that she would give it to you after you graduate from college. Now you have been commended by the commander-in-chief. This is an honor that many college graduates do not get. I think you What you have done has exceeded your mother’s expectations for you, so now it is officially handed over to you.”

"My parents' relics?" Ronald was a little confused. He couldn't remember the past things clearly.

"My sister said it's mainly some relics from your father. I haven't opened them and looked at them. Now they belong to you."

Ronald opened the wooden box, which contained several yellowed black-and-white photos and a notebook.

"This is it?" Ronald looked at the photo and asked.

The top photo is a group photo of his father and mother, as well as his aunt and her husband Steve. His father and Steve were comrades in the Marine Corps, and they were married to two Parker sisters.

Then there was a black-and-white photo of an American soldier who looked a bit like himself and his father, posing with a propeller fighter. There is writing on the back, which says 1944, London, Britain, James Lee.

Ronald counted the time. Could this be his grandfather? It seems that he has been in the military for generations.

The last photo is older, and the image above is a bit dim. It also shows a young soldier, and behind him is an ancient biplane. On the back of the photo is the year 1918, Paris, signed by Gilbert Lee.

Is this his great-grandfather? Why do you come from a family of pilots? Only my father was not accepted.

Ronald opened the notebook again, which contained some family history recorded by his father. It turns out that the Lee family is from the New England region in northeastern America.

Great-grandfather Gilbert was a PhD student in electrical engineering from Yale University. After the outbreak of World War I, he joined the Volunteer Air Force and shot down two enemy planes over China. After saving his wingman, he was shot down by the Germans and died in the line of duty. Only his wife and son remained in New England.

My grandfather, James, was also a college student at Yale University. After the outbreak of World War II, he joined the Air Force and flew P47 fighter jets. During the escort operation to bomb Germany, he covered his own bombers. He was shot down and disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean.

He was not married, but had a girlfriend in Britain who was pregnant with his posthumous son, Ronald's father, Charles.

When it came to my father's generation, I was sent back to America by my mother's side of the family. Because I was not recognized as a formal member of the family, I didn't go to college or inherit the family tradition and become a pilot. Instead, I joined the Navy. Team.

Although he changed from a pilot to a fourth-class soldier with his feet in the mud, he also broke the Li family's curse of sacrificing their lives on the battlefield, and finally returned home to reunite with his family and raise Ronald. Until I encountered a traffic accident...

"It turns out that my ancestors were quite wealthy." Ronald knew that getting a doctorate in 1915 was of great value.

He understood how his parents felt about keeping these things and waiting for him to give them to him after he graduated from college. His ancestors were rich, but later the family fell into decline. Also in his father's generation, they definitely wanted to graduate from college and find a good job. Let yourself know the excellent history of your ancestors later.

If you have the chance, you should go to New England to look for it. In previous generations, the Chinese thought that they did not necessarily have to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. They always had to recognize where their ancestors were.

"Hey, what is this?" Ronald put his father's relics back into the box and touched a metal object in his hand.

When I took it out, I found it was an old-fashioned brass key.

"Is this the key to my parents' home in New England that was confiscated and auctioned by the bank?" Ronald lost the point and threw the key back into the box.

"Aunt, I'd better keep this relic with you. I'm afraid it will be lost after taking it away." Ronald, his aunt and Donna had a reunion dinner and then went to rest.

The next day, Ronald went out to an apartment in lower Manhattan and rang the doorbell.

"Ronnie", Brooke Shields walked out happily. She just finished her final exam at Princeton, successfully passed it, and went back to her old house in New York to meet Ronald.

"Let's go, we'll be spotted by reporters again later." Brooke put on her sunglasses and handed the two large suitcases to Ronald.

Ronald put the suitcase into Brooke's Mercedes-Benz, and the driver Dick stepped on the accelerator and went to JFK Airport.

This time Brooke Shields received an invitation from the organizing committee to attend the opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Olympic Games. It happened that Ronald was also going back, and the two made an appointment to go together.

"How do you plan your summer vacation? Brooke?"

"I accepted a TV movie and went to the Bahamas to film it." Brooke took out a map and said, "Just here..."

"TV movie?" Ronald felt that Brooke was devaluing herself by accepting such a movie. "If you want to make a movie, why don't you tell me? There are many studios in Hollywood waiting in line for you to make it."

Even though Brooke Shields has been away from acting for a year and went to college, she is still very popular. As long as she wants to make a movie, many producers will be willing to take a chance.

"I just did it for fun. I used to travel with my mother every year. After I went to college, she and I hadn't been together for a long time, so I wanted to make a movie and travel at the same time. It happened that the movie was shot in the Bahamas. "

Ronald thought about it, Brooke was treating filming as a vacation. It seems that she really will not return to the film and television industry after graduating from college?

The two of them avoided the gossip reporters squatting at the airport, entered the terminal separately, and finally met again on the plane.

"My experience is that you must wear an eye mask when taking a long-distance flight, otherwise you will be very tired when you arrive." Poji took out a pair of pink eye masks and put them on as soon as she sat down.

Ronald saw Poky fall back comfortably and was about to go to sleep. Reaching out to play with her little fingers.

"Hehehe..." Bo Ji was finally teased and laughed, and the two of them clasped their hands and leaned together.

Finally arriving at the Los Angeles Airport, Brooke Shields' face was flushed. She went to the dressing room to change clothes and touch up her makeup.

Ronald went to the baggage carousel to wait for his luggage.

"Ronald!"

Ronald looked back and saw the great director Steven Spielberg on the luggage carousel next to him, also waiting for his luggage.

"Steven, are you back in Los Angeles too?"

"I flew over from the purple set, and the Olympic organizing committee invited me to attend the opening ceremony." Steven was clean-shaven and smiled uncharacteristically sweetly.

"Let me show you a picture of my son Max," Spielberg said, taking out a picture from his wallet. It showed him, his girlfriend Amy Irving, and a newborn baby. "

"Oh, beautiful boy. Congratulations, Steven."

"Thank you. Amy and I are going to get married at the end of the year. You must come when you can."

"I will definitely go." Ronald was very curious. This Amy Irving didn't seem to be the most outstanding among the actors. She didn't know how she got the number one commercial film director in Hollywood.

"Ronnie", Brooke Shields changed her clothes and jumped over. She was wearing a white T-shirt, the edges of her jeans were rolled up, revealing a section of her white legs, and she wore a straw hat with a black background and white rims on her head. The style was well mixed.

"Porgy, this is director Spielberg. He also wants to attend the opening ceremony."

"Hello, Brooke." Steven looked at Ronald and Brooke, "Let's go out together."

"Okay", Bo Ji generously agreed.

Ronald nodded to Spielberg. With him covering, the two of them didn't have to go out separately to avoid the doggy photographers.

Ronald went with Brooke to the Marriott Hotel where she was staying, which was closer to the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum where the opening ceremony would be held.

After the two had a romantic relationship, Ronald hugged Brooke when he suddenly heard a growl in his stomach.

Ronald rubbed his stomach, "I'm a little hungry. Are you hungry? I'm going to buy some burgers."

"Well..." Brooke Shields nodded, threw the pillow over, covered herself, and quickly put on a T-shirt.

Ronald put on his pants, ran to McDonald's downstairs, and bought two Big Macs. The new Olympic promotion is written on the window: "America gets a gold medal and a free burger, a silver medal and a free bag of fries, a bronze medal and a free Coke."

Although it hasn't started yet, the atmosphere of the Olympic Games is already very strong, and even the waiters are wearing hats with the five-ring logo.

Ronald took the Big Mac, thought for a moment, and then went to the 71 convenience store nearby and bought two bottles of Gatorade, an energy drink. They also sponsored the construction of swimming pools for the Olympic Games. For this Olympics, in order to save money, most of the venues were used from the past, and the new ones also had sponsors.

Despite the collective boycott of the Eastern camp, a record-breaking 140 countries participated in this Olympics. Ronald couldn't help but look forward to tomorrow's opening ceremony, where he could also see the representative team from his motherland.
