Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"It was a Thursday night, and like all Thursday nights in all bars in all cities where young people live in the world, the Spotlight Club was packed with boys and girls. This was New York, so the boys were wearing t-shirts, sunglasses and Shorts, girls in miniskirts, hair styled like Madonna..."

What Ronald got in his hands was the cover story of the latest issue of "New York" magazine. David Bloom's article was so sensational and could arouse the envy and jealousy of young readers that the editor-in-chief adjusted it to a cover feature.

The report is very long. It begins with a description of how three male stars from the Boy Gang use their eyes to select the most beautiful beauties in the club, and then use their eyes to ask them to join their table.

"A girl straightened her long white T-shirt outside her blue skirt, pushed her black bangs away from her eyes, patted her hips with both hands, and walked slowly to the table...even though she already knew that the three Every star has a regular girlfriend."

Ronald felt that the article was almost like a movie script, vividly depicting the mentality of those girls getting close to the stars and the carefree side of the three boys helping the actors.

The three gang members shouted "na zdorovye!", a Russian toast to "good health." But in fact, here, this is a secret code they agreed on privately. Each member of the Boy Gang can only choose one girl in a club. When everyone shouts this code, other members of the Boy Gang cannot have any ideas about her. .

There is a calm and handsome boy who is the unofficial president of the Brats Gang. Maybe it's because he's the son of a famous actor, Martin Sheen. At just 23 years old, Emilio Esteves looks just like his famous father. His innocent and sweet smile attracts more women and he cannot resist them.

"She's today's playmate," he whispered as an exotic young woman in a purple jumpsuit sat next to him, smiling like an old friend.

This was Hollywood’s “brat pack,” the new Rat Pack of the 1980s, much like the Rat Pack of the 1960s—a touring band of famous young stars hanging out with parties, women, and good times.

The Hollywood Brats move together as much as possible - and the average American moviegoer has seen at least one of their co-starring films in the last four years.

The first Brats movie was "Lights Out," about kids taking over a military school.

Then there is the "naughty boy from the outside world\

,"Adapted from Hinton's, directed by Francis Ford Coppola.

Director Ronald Lee's "Fast-paced Richmond High" takes them one step further into the realm of teenage audiences.

Next up is John Hughes' "The Breakfast Club."

And now The Brats' latest movie, "St. Elmo's Fire," will be released in New York.

"Why do you still have me?"

Ronald looked at Niceta and Richard who had come here specially. Is there anything else to do here?

"Your name was only mentioned once here. We thought it was a positive report, so we didn't ask for it to be deleted."

Although "New York Magazine" is a very self-respecting publication and cannot delete relevant content just because the interviewee complains, the reporter David Blum is willing to do anything for money.

Then reporter Blum listed Hollywood's "brat gang."

Tom Cruise named the "hottest" kid. His "The Good Boy Is Crazy" earned more than 30 million for the film company.

Then there is the kid with the most acting talent, Sean Penn.

Minority representative kid, Nicolas Cage.

Hard-working Kung Fu Kid Ralph Mazzio.

"These are all positive images, so after Paula discussed with the public relations company, Tom's name was kept in the report."

Ronald expressed his understanding. Ralph Mazzio was also the result of Weintraub's overnight public relations and was placed in the group of positive boys who were motivated.

Then there are a few stars that David Blum deeply hates, maybe they should be called members of the "Brat Gang"

"Emilio Estevez, president of the Brats Gang."

"Pretty face Rob Lowe."

"The most undeserving of names, Judd Nelson."

"The guy least likely to replace Marlon Brando, Matt Dillon."

"The most unsociable boy, Andrew McCarthy."

"Hardly the Brat, Matthew Brodick."

After this list, David Blum's machine guns began to fire. These people did not go to college and entered Hollywood acting right out of high school. Their parents were mostly insiders and had a much higher starting point than ordinary people.

And they are unwilling to put more effort into learning acting skills, skipping the critical step to success required by the generation of Marlon Brando, or more recently, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino: years of acting study.

Young actors used to spend years at the knees of esteemed teachers like Lee Strasberg and Stella Adler before venturing onto the stage, let alone in movies. Today, this step is considered less necessary.

"Is Tom's PR manuscript ready?" Ronald looked up and asked Niceta.

"Yes, the day after his interview was published."

"How's he doing with Marty in Chicago now?"

"Still familiar with the script. You know that he has dyslexia and needs more time to prepare the script than others. When will you return to Los Angeles?"

"I have made an appointment with Disney's Eisner next week to talk about Disney's live-action movies. His screen fund has been obtained. So far, a movie has not been invested, and the director of the fund has urged me again. "

Ronald scratched his head, and there was a call from George. He was not in trouble, and he had to go to Eisner to talk.

Ronald continued reading. The reporter said that in order to get a free ticket for the movie "Ladyhawke", Emilio deliberately called the cinema manager and put on a do-you-know-who-I-arrogant air. Just to show off my privilege.

"Legend of the Eagle and the Wolf" is a special effects blockbuster starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Matthew Brodick. Ordinarily, if Emilio wants to see it, there is no need to call a manager and ask for free tickets.

Unless he did it deliberately in front of reporters to save face.

Ronald continued to read the report. Reporter David Blum changed the topic and unfolded an adventure story from the perspective of Emilio Estevez.

Emilio had a master, Harry Dean Stanton. It was Natasha Kinski, the ex-boyfriend of Rebecca De Mornay, who had a dress for free, no need for industry status, she was not handsome, and she could often hang out with the best girls. The ability of beautiful girls.

Emilio often climbed to Stanton's house at the top of Beverly Hills to learn how to pick up girls. In addition to the well-known Demi Moore, he also has more than 20 temporary girlfriends.

"What did this Emilio do to offend reporters? Why was he described in such a bad light?"

"Keep reading, there are some acquaintances of yours who are stirring up trouble below." Richard pointed to the following description for him.

"Huh? Why is he involved again?" Ronald discovered that he had another enemy.

After coming out of the Spotlight Club, Emilio ran to the Japanese restaurant across the street and asked the bodyguards to clear out the best private room so that he and his friends could enjoy sushi alone. The bouncers kept all the diners outside, and only pretty girls were let in to ask for autographs.

His girlfriend Demi didn't follow for the second session, and Emilio was looking forward to another beautiful girl fan. But the person who came in was not a fan, but another unofficial member of the "Brat Gang", the only Oscar-winning Timothy Hutton.

Hutton's hair was greasy, and the two chatted about their mutual acquaintance Sean Penn, who now spends his days dating Madonna. After Hutton left, Emilio teased Hutton loudly in front of his friends. He lost three movies in a row, and now no one in Hollywood is looking for him to film.

"Oscars are nothing. If you don't make money, you can't do it. If you want to stay popular in this industry, you have to keep making movies that make money. I will write, direct and star in a movie soon, and so will Rob Lowe."

"Is it Timothy Hutton?" Ronald looked up at his agent.

"The current news is that he, and possibly Sean Penn and Madonna, Emilio did not know how to behave and made random comments about many people. These people may cause trouble for him."

"And you, he also commented on your work, but we asked reporter David Bloom to delete it."

"There must be nothing nice to say." Ronald saw that Emilio had so many enemies, so he was no longer prepared to add insult to injury. Otherwise, the younger ones will be beaten, and the older ones will come out, so it’s best to keep the posture of watching the show.

"Hahaha... Bloom writes well and praises us as wise and powerful. We are the most talented young actors in Hollywood."

After New York magazine came out, Emilio Estevez brought in Rob Lowe and Judd Nelson and started bragging. The length of his story is much longer than that of two best friends, and it is also a place where he can gain face.

Lori Rodkin, Judd Nelson's girlfriend and agent, saw something was wrong and pulled her boyfriend aside, "Did Emilio offend someone? Why did this report say that you don't hone your acting skills?" ?You are obviously Stella Adler’s student, but her daughter introduced us to you.”

"I don't know. There are many people who are jealous of Emilio's achievements and family background. It probably has nothing to do with me. I read the whole story and most people are talking about him. I'm just a supporting character."

"Are you stupid?" Rodkin said, "Why did Tom Cruise and the others just mention one name, but you and Emilio were tied together? All the bad things were done by you and Rob Lowe." ? You have to make a statement and draw a clear line with him."

"Isn't this bad? We are friends."

"Friend? Look, he will soon throw the responsibility on you." Luo Dejin was so angry that he dropped his bag on the ground.

"Mr. Estevez, your phone."

"Dad? Why are you calling me?" Emilio was drunk and unexpectedly received a call from his father Martin Sheen on the bar.

"Who is plotting against you? Why is there this report?"

"No? The reporter is a friend of mine. I asked him to come to the club for an interview. By the way, he also introduced some of my friends. They were also featured on the cover of the magazine. It's not too late to thank me."

Martin Sheen almost had a heart attack because of his eldest son's anger, "Friend? Is your friend slandering you like this because you can only rely on me for acting? You never hone your acting skills? You have an official girlfriend and more than 20 temporary girlfriends?

Call your agent immediately and do as he says, and I'll go talk to Mr. Eisner about a distribution deal for the new film. "

Only then did Emilio Estevez react and look at the table where he was.

Wow...

Everyone had a free stool, which was where he sat. A minute ago, everyone was desperately trying to get closer to the president of the Kid Gang, but now they are avoiding him like a patient.

"Demi, where are you going?"

When Emilio saw that Demi Moore was leaving, he tried to persuade her to stay. This was the only girlfriend he could talk to under such circumstances.

"Go find your twenty-some temporary girlfriends!"

Demi turned around and left the bar.

She returned to the high-end apartment on the top floor of the brand-new building, smoked a cigarette, and calmed down. How should we take advantage of this situation now and strive for the greatest benefit for ourselves?

"Hey, Ronald, I want to ask, what happened to Emilio? Did you take action?"

"Nothing, he probably offended other actors competing with him for roles. I am a director and have no fundamental conflict with him." Ronald immediately denied it.

"What should I do? Ronald, now I'm like a laughing stock. Everyone laughs at me. Not only do I have a bad taste in people, but I'm also disliked by my boyfriend."

"It's up to you to decide what to do. I can only say that in the past week, some people have been shooting at him. You'd better stay away from him to avoid getting splashed."
