Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"How about this suit?" Diane wore a suit for a working girl, a small suit with vertical stripes, a white shirt with lace, and a one-step skirt designated by Ronald himself. Diane's two long legs were close together at the knees, adapting to the tailoring specially designed by working girls to show off their figure.

"My dear, you look very beautiful in it." Ronald touched his chin and motioned to the clothing store manager next to him to come over. "Do you have anything that can make her look more mature? Bring them all."

"Really?" Diane retracted her chin slightly, raised her head and raised her chest, trying to imitate the posture of a working girl.

"Of course, sir, I wonder how you want to pay, check or?"

Ronald took out a Wells Fargo credit card from his wallet and handed it over.

"Right away, sir, to your satisfaction."

On Fifth Avenue, there are many such high-end clothing stores, which contain various luxury brands and independent designers' women's clothing. The female store manager had sharp eyes and recognized Ronald's platinum credit card at a glance, then she went to find matching clothes for Diane.

Ronald looked at the waist of the female manager. This woman's temperament was more like the mature expert lecturer needed in "Top Gun".

"What's wrong?" Diane saw the way Ronald looked at the female manager and felt a little discouraged. It seems that he is not very attractive to Ronald.

"Sorry, honey", Ronald picked up the camera in his hand and took a picture of Diane.

After changing into a few sets of clothes, Ronald had an idea. Diane is still a month away from turning twenty, and her appearance does not fit the mold of a mature, glamorous and sexy heroine. That kind of confident and calm temperament is also difficult for Diane, who has suffered frequent failures recently, to perform.

Ronald still had some illusions. With Diane's excellent acting skills, wearing suitable clothes and careful training by himself, maybe he could turn Diane into an aerodynamics expert who was less than thirty years old?

It seems that what she lacks most is the confident and calm temperament of a highly educated woman.

Ronald finally asked the female manager to pack two sets of office girl outfits, along with two dresses, and several pairs of shoes, and took Diane back to the hotel.

"When you walk, you must have a restrained confidence. America's military is a male power world. Your knowledge exceeds that of your superiors, but you still have to play the workplace game within their rules. So you The eyes can be confident, but the gait should be a little enchanting. Women's weapons are not just as domineering as men..."

Ronald is sitting on the sofa,

He was filming Diane with a camera and coaching her acting skills.

"Ok, ok, let me brew for a while."

Diane closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then stood up and started walking like Ronald again. Her legs imitated the steps of a catwalk model, swaying from side to side in the one-step skirt.

"Click, click...", Ronald pressed the shutter, "Very good, you are walking very well, be careful to be more calm. This character is a doctor of aerodynamics, and those pilots in her eyes are just fluff." Touya guys, you don’t want to date them, don’t discharge your eyes at them. It’s a natural charm.”

"Natural charm, ah!" Diane was too focused on imitating the clothing store manager. She missed a step, her high heels swayed to the side, and she fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Ronald stepped forward and helped Diane who fell to the ground.

"I can't act..." Diane sat on the ground, took off her high heels and threw them aside, crying.

The movie reviews for “The Cotton Club” are out. Ebert of Chicago gave the film a perfect four stars overall, saying a lot of good things about Coppola and leading actor Richard Gere, but he also criticized the showgirl played by Diane Lane. He believed that the casting of this showgirl was a mistake. Diane was too young to support such a complex character.

The New York film critics were even more harsh on Diane, even saying that she deserved a Golden Raspberry Award nomination for Worst Actress.

Diane was hit hard, and she also felt intimidated by the heroine in "Top Gun" who was also older than herself.

"Don't say that. In 'Streets of Fire', you played the 27- or 27-year-old rock star very well. I was deeply impressed by your performance and thought you were the female rock star."

"That's because you filmed 'The Amazing Stains' with Laura Dern and I before. I have experience, and I also have the blessing of Armani clothing." Diane hugged Ronald's neck, She cried silently on his shoulder.

"It's okay, Diane. I'm here. As long as you still want to be an actress, there will be roles for you." Ronald patted Diane's back gently to comfort her.

"I'll take a few more audition photos for you, and we'll go back to Los Angeles together. As for whether you should be chosen for this role, it depends on the producer's opinion." Ronald helped Diane up, carried her to the sofa, and gave her She poured a glass of water.

"I listen to you, Ronnie." Diane hugged Ronald's arm, asked him to sit down, and then leaned against him, feeling very safe.

…

"Hey, would you like to consider letting Diane try out for a supporting actress role? The role of the radar officer's wife?" Bruckheimer looked at the audition photos and shook his head no.

"That role doesn't mean much to Diane. Besides, she may not be suitable for playing a southern farm girl." Ronald looked at the audition photos of other actresses placed side by side on the table, and as expected, he left his preferred filter. , Diane's childishness is still fully revealed.

The other two actresses on the table are both familiar to me. Demi Moore on the left is wearing a navy uniform. She is obviously more convincing than Diane in playing a female officer. The fearless wildness in him has a unique charm.

On the right is Ally Sheedy, who also played a working girl in "St. Elmo's Fire." She has another style, a pure suburban white beauty born in the city. She seems to have an intellectual beauty that has received a good higher education.

"When are they going to finish filming the Joe Schumacher movie?" Ronald asked, as the two actresses were still filming "St. Elmo's Fire."

"It'll be ready soon. When you come back from Japan, we can officially send out audition invitations." Bruckheimer replied.

"Then let's do this for now. Then let Tom play with them both and see which one has the best chemical reaction."

"Tom also wants to recommend his girlfriend Rebecca De Mornay, and he wants to play a couple with her again." Don Simpson asked Ronald, "Do you think it's suitable?"

"Rebecca?" Ronald thought there seemed to be something going on.

"Then let's audition together when you come back. She is now filming 'Runaway Train' again."

…

"Ronnie, my agent called me and I was asked to do a promotional photo shoot for a rock band."

As soon as he returned to his new apartment in Los Angeles, Diane rushed up from inside and jumped into Ronald's arms, "Hehehe... It seems that I am not uninvited."

"Why would a rock band come to you? Which one is it?" Ronald was also surprised, but he was still happy for Diane. Originally, the bad news he brought back would make the girl sad for a while.

"Bon Jovi" Diane happily showed Ronald the band introduction in the invitation, "They are a cutting-edge band, and the first single of the new album reached the top 40 on the charts.

Let me tell you, the lead singer of the band said that he admired my role as Colleen Burns in "The Amazing Dirt Band" and said that I was his idol, so he wanted me to come with them on their new tour. Shoot the poster. "

Seeing the happy Diane, Ronald also felt a little happier. The next day, Ronald first sent Diane to the filming site of the promotional poster, where Bon Jovi's band rehearsed at Island Records.

"I'm going to talk to Weintraub about going to Japan first, and I'll pick you up in the afternoon."

"Okay, honey." Diane kissed him and walked in with the agent waiting at the door.

"It's all arranged. We will take a charter flight to Tokyo the day after tomorrow, and then have a party with the local entertainment industry there. After that, Toho Company will arrange for you to go to Director Akira Kurosawa's shooting set to communicate with him, and the TV station will also do a special issue TV show coverage.”

Ronald's trip was mainly about dealing with the entertainment industry, while Weintraub had to meet with many potential investors. In addition to getting investment for "The Kid 2," he also wanted to connect with Japanese money. Prepare for your big plans in the future.

"Then it's settled, you bring a little Bud, and I'll bring a team of lawyers and accountants, and we'll explore Tokyo together." Weintraub was full of confidence.

After ending the discussion here, Ronald let Little Bud drive the car, and the two of them went to pick up Diane.

"Diane, you are really the saint of all new bands in rock and roll. You know, it was after watching your 'The Magic Dirt Band' that we decided to follow the band's path." Bon Jovi Band The lead guitarist Richie Sambora looked at Diane sincerely.

"This guy says that to everyone," the band's lead singer Jon Bon Jovi said, "Actually, I also like your movies very much. I heard that many newcomers in the company regard you as a rock saint. There are posters of you on the cabinets in my room.”

Jon Bon Jovi naturally approached Diane and struck a pose that he thought was chic, "Seriously Diane, won't you go on tour with us? Just dress up like 'Fire Streets'" The guests on our tour will definitely be popular. By then, all the media will have news about you, and it will not be easy for you to go back and make movies."

"Really? How long will your tour last?" Diane was obviously interested.

"It will take about half a year, and we will start touring the country soon, and then we will have to perform all over the world."

"Half a year?" Diane fell into silence. Touring with such a band for half a year was a bit too much. Moreover, rock band tours are usually accompanied by a lot of flesh and blood. Is this his intention?

"No, she doesn't have time." Ronald walked in just in time to see this scene. The two rock singers had hair like chicken coops and wore black eyeliner. An indistinguishable androgynous atmosphere came to their faces.

Ronald took Diane's hand and said, "Diane will have a more important role to play, so you can just be content with taking a photo with her."

"Why are you so rude?" Diane was dragged into the car, "I didn't agree to go."

"I'm worried that you don't understand the virtues of those rock musicians." When Ronald was filming "Rock and Roll High School", he knew about the corrupt lifestyle of these rock musicians and was afraid that Diane would be abducted by them.

"Hmph, I also want a chance to be exposed. I don't have a role in Top Gun, so I can only use this method to maintain my exposure in Hollywood."

Diane pouted a little unhappy.

Ronald picked up the "Hollywood Report" that Little Bud bought. The first weekend box office of "Cotton Club" has been released. It is less than 3 million, only ranked fifth, only behind "Helen Starring" which was just released last week. "Supergirl" is a bit higher, not as good as David Lynch's "Dune".

Even my own "Longwei Boy" is nearly half as good as it, with a box office of more than one million and still hanging around in the top ten of the box office list.

"Hey..." Diane, who had three consecutive box office losses, was indeed dragged down.

"Well, you like to appear with rock bands. When I come back from Japan, I will shoot the MV for Madonna. Then I will introduce you to go together. She said that we will shoot the MV together at the same time, and Bruce Springsteen. We also need to shoot the new song’s music video during the concert tour, and then I’ll find a way to arrange a role for you to appear.”

Ronald remembered Madonna's filming arrangements and wanted to give Diane a chance to stay popular.

"Bring it..." Diane stretched out her hand.

"What?"

"If you treat Bon Jovi like this, they will definitely cancel the promotion plan with me. I have no money. I originally expected to spend this period of time with more money than the promotion plan. "

"Okay..." Ronald took out his checkbook from his pocket. Halfway through, he suddenly felt that this action felt weird.

"What do you want next?"

"No, she could have been a rock saint, but you ruined her." Diane made a face at him.

"Why don't you go to Tokyo with me? Where Weintraub goes to discuss new production plans, maybe you will have a chance. I heard that people there admire American movie stars." Ronald added The checkbook was put back.

"Tokyo? Really? Will anyone there ask me to make a movie?" Diane forgot about asking for money and took Ronald's arm and asked.

"It's hard to say, but I think it will definitely help you expand your reputation overseas." Ronald put his arm around Diane's shoulders and picked up the car phone, "Hello, Jerry? I'm Ronald. I'm on the plane the day after tomorrow. Can you bring one more lady with you? You know Diane Lane."
