Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 20001 If you have any questions, you can come to me

James Baker wore his hair slicked back and showed a typical politician's smile.

First Lady Nancy has a great influence on the president, and everyone in the campaign team is trying to get this crappy Hollywood actress to go away. But she has her own logic, and has also studied ancient Indian witchcraft, hoping to cast a spell on her opponent Mondale.

Nancy was angry with the campaign team for the failure of the first televised debate. This time she targeted Baker's subordinate Daman and wanted to fire this employee who had worked diligently for her for ten years. In order to settle the matter, Baker originally wanted to sacrifice Daman and maintain his influence in the team.

God bless, sent this lucky little Ronald.

The two walked all the way into the depths of the White House and reached the West Wing. This is where the commander's staff room is located. This year's campaign team is meeting with the commander-in-chief here to discuss countermeasures.

"The weekend is the day for the televised debate between the vice-president and the Donkey Party's candidate for vice-president, Geraldine Ferraro. If he performs well, he can earn us a point." The speaker was the man who contributed to the success of the 1980 election. , campaign consultant Luo Linsi.

"Jerodine Ferraro is the first female vice-president candidate with a real chance of being elected in the history of America. We are not optimistic about female votes." Supplementing the opinion was Lee Ewert, a young A campaign wizard, he has only been a member of the T\u0026T re-election campaign team for a relatively short period of time.

"Gentlemen, I can only face this issue head-on and defeat Mondale in the second debate. Otherwise, American voters will only have more and more doubts." The commander-in-chief changed his amiable attitude and said two words His eyebrows were raised and he spoke harshly.

With a "swish" sound, the door of the staff room was pushed open, and James Baker brought Ronald in.

"Your Excellency, this is the Hollywood director invited by Madam, Ronald Lee. He talked about his thoughts on Mondale's attack. I think the campaign team needs to listen."

"It's you, what's your name?" The commander was impressed by the young man.

"Ronald, Ronald Lee, His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief."

"I'm glad you can come to the White House again. Please tell me what you think." The commander-in-chief forgot the occasion when he met the young director with the same name as himself.

"I heard Mondale's attack on you, but I think the people of America would rather be led by an experienced person than to find a young and inexperienced person as their commander-in-chief."

"Bingo," young campaign manager Lee Ewert jumped out of his chair.

"You are a genius."

He immediately wrote a few lines on the sorted cards and handed them to the commander.

"I will not make age an issue in this campaign..."

The commander-in-chief read it in his rich voice. Then his eyes gleamed, and he immediately raised his hand to signal that no one should tell anyone about today's meeting. This excellent counterattack allowed him to silence Mondale in the second round.

"Ronald, thank you for your feedback on my work. I hope that what you said today will not be spread out."

The commander sent Ronald to the door, and then said he "hoped" that he would keep the secret.

"My family and I all voted for you in the last round of elections, and we very much hope that Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, can lead the people of America to move forward in the next four years."

"James will take you out. If you have any questions, please contact him." The commander formally shook hands with Ronald.

Ronald withdrew, and White House chief of staff James Baker repeatedly told him not to say anything.

The next day, Ronald and three actors followed First Lady Nancy to a public high school in Washington, D.C., for a visit (show). The TV station sent a camera crew to interview.

Minahan has languished since he was rejected by the White House. As an Israeli and without strong connections with the upper class, he was bullied everywhere.

The TV station's camera focused on the students, First Lady Nancy and the three actors. The students broke into a break dance, which aroused applause from the students and the audience.

Ronald's identity makes it inappropriate to show up today. "Don't be discouraged. One day they will recognize your efforts."

"Hey, Ronald, you don't understand. We are Russian Jews who immigrated to Israel. We are not the same group as those Eastern European Jews who are prosperous in America."

Ronald didn't know how to comfort him, so he had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder.

"Hey, I know, you have no discrimination against us." Minahan, who was rarely optimistic, walked out of the crowd and went back to the car to rest.

"Hey...oh..."

Ronald heard someone sighing and sobbing softly in an empty classroom behind the dance studio.

"Who's there?" Ronald pushed open the door and walked in.

"No, no one..." An old woman with white hair was sitting on a chair weeping silently. When I saw someone coming in, I immediately wiped away my tears and put on a strong face.

"Barbara?" Ronald was surprised. Isn't this the deputy commander's wife? Who can give her a look?

Ronald went to the small table with snacks outside the door and got two cups of hot black tea, and then took some biscuits to Barbara.

"There are some snacks here, we might as well try them."

"Oh, it's you, let me hug you." Barbara saw clearly that it was Ronald and hugged him quickly.

"After little George returned to Texas, he seemed like a new person. He began to care about his wife Laura and their two children, and he no longer drank heavily. He went to church every week and started reading the Bible."

"I'm glad he found interest." Ronald picked up the snack and started eating it.

Barbara is old enough to be her own grandmother. She dresses very simply. She neither dyes her hair nor wears a beautiful Hollywood-style dress. She just wears a slightly wrinkled ordinary outfit, and she is in the typical Hollywood style of First Lady Nancy. Very different.

When Ronald looked at her, he would only think of his dear aunt, who was the most authoritative female elder in the family.

Barbara was very sad. She and Nancy had agreed to come to the public high school together. But when she came to school, for some reason, Nancy banned her from participating in activities.

I don't know what she did wrong to make Nancy unhappy, and Barbara felt very wronged. I have been careful not to conflict with the hostess of the White House. Why was she temporarily disqualified from appearing in something like this that two people participated in together?

She dresses like an ordinary grandma in the family, and will not steal the limelight like a Hollywood movie star from Nancy.

"...Always feel that others will treat them maliciously. Hidden in their unreasonable suspicions and speculations is their unreasonable malice." Ronald remembered a sermon that Aunt Karen often said, which happened to be used to comfort Barba pull.

"...You can evaluate the right and wrong of public words and deeds, but do not unreasonably speculate on his motives..."

Barbara knew this was to persuade him to relax, so she responded.

"It's time for me to go back. I will be hosting a banquet for Jane Morgan and her family in the evening. You must come then." Barbara took Ronald's hand and said kindly, "You know where the deputy commander's family lives, right? ?”

"Isn't it in the White House?" Ronald really didn't know.

"Haha, we are at No. 1 Observatory Ring Road, where is the deputy commander's official residence."

"This partner of Jane Morgan's husband is no ordinary person. Your eldest son in Texas has changed so much that I can no longer recognize him."

"Honey, then I must meet him."

The vice-commander was in his study at home preparing for a televised debate with Geraldine Ferraro in a few days. It is conceivable that this first female vice-president candidate in history who is likely to win the election will naturally have the support of many female voters, so she must be well prepared.

The dinner that evening was simple, but Jane Morgan, Weintraub, and Ronald all enjoyed it. Barbara is a very competent housewife. She handles household affairs in an orderly manner, and the grandchildren who come here to play are also very obedient.

"Let's raise a glass to Ronald. My eldest son has changed because of the good influence your righteousness exerted on him." Barbara raised a glass to persuade him to drink.

"This is God's revelation to him." Ronald did not dare to take credit, and quickly told Barbara and his wife about the small miracle that he and Barbara's eldest son found glass windows donated by their ancestors in the church.

"Really? You are a descendant of the Jerome family. They and I are all immigrants to America." The deputy commander was very interested in this little gossip.

"Yes, but my grandfather did not return to Jerome's family, but inherited my great-grandfather's surname of Li." Ronald became curious about the deputy commander, "Don't talk about me, the deputy commander is born first , how did you choose to enter politics?"

"Ah, it's a long story." The tall deputy commander took off his glasses, wiped them, and began to tell the history of his year.

It turns out that the deputy commander was a Navy torpedo bomber pilot during World War II. During a bombing mission, his plane was hit by Japanese artillery fire. Among the pilots who fell into the sea, only the deputy commander himself was rescued by an American submarine. The rest of the crew became Japanese prisoners and were all killed.

After retiring from the Navy, he married Barbara. Because I firmly believe that God saved me from misfortune. So I started thinking about doing something for the people of America. He started his political career as a member of Congress.

However, he did not particularly resent Japanese-Americans, and he became a good friend of Hawaii's Japanese Senator Daniel Inoue.

"Mr. Inoue was very helpful in the filming of 'Longwei Boy'."

"I know he's a good guy and I enjoy working with politicians who have military experience."

"It turns out you were a naval aviator too, and I'm now thinking of making a movie about a naval aviator."

"Really? If you have any questions, you can come to me directly." The deputy commander liked Ronald no matter what.

Barbara came from a noble family and gave birth to many children and several grandchildren after marrying him. Everything she had, First Lady Nancy did not have. In order to live in harmony with the commander-in-chief, he did not pay much attention to the minor conflicts between the two ladies.

But this time, Barbara was temporarily not allowed to appear on TV, and she was left alone next to him, which made the deputy commander feel that his dignity was being challenged. My wife, Barbara, was very sad.

Fortunately, there is this boy to comfort his wife, and besides, the eldest son also gets along well with him. When he becomes the director of the Screen Fund, he will get a free salary every year, which should be enough for him to squander.

"I'm going to prepare for the TV debate. You can stay here with Barbara." The vice president took the lead and left. This TV debate is a very important debate. If it can deepen the public's impression, it will be very beneficial to the election four years later.

After leaving the deputy commander's residence, Ronald did not return to Los Angeles with the large army. He returned home to New York and wanted to seek advice from his aunt on something.

"I want to take this movie, but it's a movie that speaks favorably for the military. I'm afraid you'll object."

"What's the plot of this movie? Is it about the Vietnam War?"

"No, this is a movie about modern naval pilots. It's just handsome men and beautiful women, and aircraft carriers and planes. It's the kind of movie that teenagers can watch with excitement. It doesn't have any actual war background." Ronald explained the plot. The script is not finished yet, just a few concepts.

"I'm not against it, Ronald. What I'm against is letting innocent young people go to a country thousands of miles away to massacre the defenseless people there.

The military should protect its own people and that does not violate my values. On the contrary, I actually have a good impression of soldiers, otherwise I would not have married Steve. "Auntie smiled.

"That's true, I'll be relieved if you promise." Ronald was already inclined to agree to direct the film.
