Exploiting Hollywood 1980

As the music gradually came to an end, Madonna stared at Ronald in the back row and made various provocative moves. She stretched out her fingers and flicked them in Ronald's direction.

"Bitch, this Bitch..." Cyndi Lauper next to her thought it was Madonna openly provoking her, and she cursed out in anger.

"This Bitchi is very scheming. She knew that the TV cameras would not capture her provocative panorama, so she deliberately made this gesture towards the camera behind us... In fact, she was facing me."

Cyndi Lauper saw Madonna's scheming. They are both teenage singers, and they happened to be in the same competition category. Although she won the award today, Madonna was performing as a guest, so it's not clear who will be more popular.

"Hey, hey..." Ronald coughed. Madonna on the stage happened to be lying on the ground, ogling her.

Maybe seeing Ronald reminded her of the spring breeze that year, or maybe the atmosphere of the performance made Madonna get excited. She suddenly lifted up her skirt and turned over on the ground.

The white garter belt and lace stockings were exposed to the eyes of the scene and all the teenagers watching the TV broadcast.

"Oh..."

Ronald recalled the time when she sent her back to her apartment after she had failed to win the role of "Famous" and made the wooden walls bang bang.

"This bitch," Cyndi Lauper started to scold again. With such an outrageous scene, tomorrow newspapers, TV, and all media will be full of news about Madonna. When she just accepted the award, she deliberately slapped the table. When it rang, the limelight that the bad girl's declaration had stolen was about to be stolen by her again.

Ronald raised his hand and applauded like everyone else, taking the opportunity to cover up Cindy's attention and cross his legs.

"Ronald?" After the show, one of Madonna's assistants came over and handed Ronald a note. He was stopped by the agent Richard, who checked it and handed it over to Ronald.

"Ms. Madonna asked Ronald to come to her dressing room for a chat," the assistant added.

Richard looked over and Ronald nodded. He hadn't seen her for a long time. Now that Madonna was able to be a guest at the awards show, he wanted to talk to her.

"Ronald," Madonna came out to greet him and warmly hugged Ronald, whom she hadn't seen for several years. She even squeezed Ronald's waist with her hands during the hug, "Hehehe, you are still so energetic. "

Entering the dressing room, to Ronald's surprise,

There is already a lady here waiting for Madonna.

"Maripole, my hairstylist, I have to get up for a party soon and come here to redo my hair." Madonna pointed to the lady, "I met her at Club 54 back then."

Ronald suddenly remembered the time when Madonna left herself at the door of the club in order to get into Club 54 and become a big shot in the industry. It was only after that that he met Helen Slater.

"Hello," Ronald smiled at Maripol.

Maripol untied and restyled Madonna's hair, which she had deliberately messed up on stage.

"I want to ask you to direct my music video. My new album 'like a virgin' will be released at the end of the year. I have a single 'Material Girl' and I need to shoot the music video. I need you."

"You should talk to my agent about this kind of thing." Ronald said to Madonna's assistant and his agent Richard who came up behind him.

"You wouldn't disagree, would you? Cyndi Lauper won the award this year because of your music video. Her acceptance speech was so long that if it hadn't been for you, she wouldn't have had the chance to say it."

"I still say the same thing, talk to my agent. I will be busy with a new movie recently."

"Well, it seems that we haven't seen each other for a long time. You have forgotten yourself. Let me refresh your mind."

Madonna was bold and bold. When she came up, she hugged Ronald and wanted to give him a passionate kiss. One hand also went straight down.

"Okay, okay", Ronald quickly begged for mercy, "I'm serious, ask your agent to contact my agent, I will see the time when it's convenient..."

"Ronald, won't you go to the party with us? There are many girls there waiting to meet you, a big director in Hollywood."

"Let the agent make an appointment," Ronald gestured, escaping from Madonna's clutches.

Little Bud was already waiting outside the door, driving Ronald home to rest.

"You are still so majestic. After all these years, I still have the deepest impression on you when you came to my house."

"You once broke down the walls of my house. Why, don't you like my dress?"

"Bang Bang Bang Bang..." The walls of Ronald's house also began to shake.

"Ring ring ring ring..." It turned out to be a dream, and Ronald was woken up by the ringing of the phone.

In his sleep, Ronald was somehow trapped in Madonna's house and insisted on reliving his old dream with him. Fortunately, I received a call from Niceta. They had just arrived in Los Angeles and were calling from the office.

"Hello...I'm Ronald, ah...hey", Ronald yawned greatly.

"Are you awake? Did you go to bed very late last night?" Niceta asked Ronald.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Ronald looked at the clock. It was almost ten o'clock in the morning New York time.

"I've asked Richard to go to your place. You will know when you read the New York Times later. Two of the seven major Hollywood companies have experienced major personnel disasters."

"Ding dong..."

Richard on the other side happened to come in with the New York Times.

Ronald took it and saw that it was still the front page headline of the business news section.

"Frank Mancuso Named Chairman of Paramount, Michael Eisner Resigns."

Ronald suddenly woke up and continued reading.

"Frank Mancuso has been named chairman and CEO of Paramount, succeeding Barry Diller, who resigned last week. He will report directly to Gulf Western.

In a game of musical musical chairs, Paramount shocked Hollywood. The most vocal candidate to take over was Michael Eisner, who submitted his resignation to the board of directors today. "

Over the past decade, Eisner was responsible for the production and distribution of more than half of Hollywood's top-grossing films. After being unexpectedly eliminated from the competition for the top job at Paramount, Gulf Western originally planned to provide Eisner with generous benefits, allowing him to establish his own independent production company and continue to cooperate with Paramount.

But in the Game of Thrones world of Hollywood, Eisner rejected this symbolic preferential treatment and resigned from the board of directors. After being approved, he said he would continue to explore the possibility of cooperation with other companies in the industry. "

"Where is he going?" Ronald asked Niceta, who was waiting on the other end of the phone.

"Eighty percent Disney."

"Oh?" Ronald continued to read the Times report.

"These are several major changes that continue in the industry, and Hollywood has ushered in the biggest reshuffle in ten years. Disney's president and CEO, son-in-law of founder Walt Disney, Ron Miller, was also asked by the board of directors yesterday Resign."

"Isn't it such a coincidence?" Ronald said.

"Yes, Eisner must have a backup plan." Richard said next to him.

"Lee Isger, an entertainment industry analyst in New York, said Paramount's new management team faces a situation where "no one wins." No company can succeed forever, and under Diller's leadership, Isger said Paramount has a long history of success under his leadership. As long as the success continues, people believe in his legacy. When it fails, new people get blamed."

"You asked Eisner?"

"He is not answering the phone right now. He is probably negotiating with Roy Disney Jr., who successfully drove Ron Miller away from the Disney Company."

"What happened to Ron Miller? How did he get kicked out?"

"His live-action film project was quite a failure, and several of the films he directed aimed at the teen market barely made a dent in the box office and did not receive critical acclaim. In addition, Roy Jr. was Walt Disney's nephew, and he gathered Walt's His old subordinates, together with the directors, forced him to resign.

Now Ron Miller and his wife Diane Disney have gone to Napa Valley to be neighbors with Coppola and run his winery. "

"Will Eisner get the CEO job at Disney?"

"There is great hope. He and Katzenberg will advance and retreat together. Disney's poor performance should be very necessary for their vision in selecting movies."

"I guess he will call me, and you will make sure the phone lines are open." Ronald had a hunch that Eisner still needed the "Screen Fund" card very much.

"I think so. That's it. You and Richard will wait for the call at home."

Niceta was on the phone, discussing strategies to deal with Eisner with Ronald and others, and then hung up the phone.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Eisner's phone call came to Ronald's home.

"Ronald, I think I can still get that guarantee." Eisner got straight to the point. His time was precious now.

"I'm not a member of the board of directors of the Screen Fund. Why don't you just ask the fund manager, Mr. Roland Bates, for his opinion?"

"shxt! I need a commitment now. Roy Disney Jr. needs not only the vision to choose movies, but also money."

"Then I can't help you, Mr. Eisner."

"No, you can, as long as you let your friends in Texas declare their support for me to take charge of the fund."

"I don't have that much energy."

"You don't need to convince me alone, as long as we can arrange a meeting."

"What's in it for me? Mr. Eisner."

"The conditions I promised you last time remain unchanged."

"Mr. Eisner, Paramount, the most successful of the seven, is not the same company as Disney, which is just a little higher than MGM, a casino."

"I can slowly think of a solution, but it takes time. Disney is a mess here, and everyone has their own plans. It will take me at least half a year to sort it out. At Paramount, Frank Mancuso is a fool, and Gulf West Martin Davis just wanted him to be obedient and not threaten his position.

I can still exert some influence to give you a last ditch effort before they bring in real management experts. "

"I'll see what I can do." Ronald hung up the phone.
