Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"What did I tell you? Don't mess with others, don't mess with others. Do you think your father is an omnipotent person? You want to kill your father and bury you after making such a big mistake. My brother’s acting career?”

"I don't……"

Martin Sheen did not expect that Emilio would dare to lie to him. He was so angry that his heart began to hurt and his hands began to tremble slightly.

"Martin, sit down first." The woman was Emilio's mother, Janet, who was also a former actress.

She asked Laurentiis for a glass of water and asked her husband to take a pill.

Then she stood up and twisted Emilio's ears.

"Emilio, how angry are you with your father? How dare you provoke...? Want to expose him? You don't know that it was Coppola himself who called to warn you today. If it wasn't your father, To save face, you are now ruined.”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Laurentiis, this is how we Latins teach our children, don't be offended." Janet discovered that this was the office of the big producer Laurentiis, and Dino was watching the three of them with interest. Man, quickly apologized for his untimely outburst.

"It's okay, Mrs. Xin. In the eyes of us Neapolitans, this is a good mother who loves her children and a good wife who loves her husband." Laurentiis stood up and hugged Janet, and then gave them the conference room next to them. Home use.

Martin Sheen took the medicine and his heart felt much better. He sat in the conference room and taught this useless eldest son a lesson word by word.

"Who gave you the bad idea to reveal Ronald's private life? Do you know his status and connections in the industry?"

"I didn't..." Emilio still wanted to be stubborn.

Janet next to her came over again to pull her son's ears.

"Stop talking, save some face for me, Mom. How come you guys know this before I take action?"

"You idiot, don't you know that the PR company you hired is the same one that Tom Cruise and Ronald Lee often use?"

"They have no professional ethics!" Emilio turned his anger to the public relations company.

"How could I have such a stupid son like you? How many times have I told you that Ronald is the director and he is not in competition with you."

"I saw his arrogant look,

It's just uncomfortable. "

"You have to be patient, my son. If the target of your revelation is Tom Cruise or Sean Penn, I will look down on you."

"I..." Emilio looked confused.

"You still don't understand this, Emilio. Listen to me, you immediately go and apologize to Ronald face to face, don't look for excuses, put away your stubbornness, and apologize to him sincerely and admit defeat. Otherwise, you will spend the next two years It’s very likely that no one will ask you to act.”

"You are an actor, so you should have this kind of acting skills." Martin Sheen attaches great importance to this eldest son. He can be said to be an important part of his Estevez family, continuing the Hollywood actor family like the Douglas family.

"Oh, of course." It turned out to be acting. Emilio put aside half of his embarrassment. He thought that if he apologized, he could continue to get script invitations. It didn't seem so difficult to accept.

"It's normal for an acting career to have ups and downs. I remember when your mother and I first had your brother, we moved around in the slums of New York and were often kicked out because of insufficient rent. Later we found a house on Staten Island. Cheap house.

All of this was greatly improved after I played "Catch-22". Only then could we gain a foothold in Hollywood. Only then could we move to Los Angeles, and only then could you and your brothers and sisters afford to go to Saint Mary's. Nika High School.

Temporary honor and disgrace are nothing. You are already on the threshold of success. As long as you take one step forward, you can become a star. Nowadays, when people talk about my displacement in New York, they can only regard it as an anecdote about my efforts. As long as you become famous, who will know that you once bowed to a young director? "

Emilio was moved by his father's description. He looked up at Martin Sheen's sincere eyes and nodded hard.

"You haven't told anyone else about your plan to expose Ronald and attract the media, have you?" Martin Sheen was still a little worried about this stupid son.

"I only told my agent, they won't tell nonsense. And Carlos... I didn't even tell Demi." Emilio still revealed his brother, and Carlos was Charlie Sheen's son. Real name.

"That's good. Don't mention this matter to anyone in the future." Martin Sheen felt a little more comfortable. His eldest son was not so stupid as to be desperate.

"Oh, okay..." The conversation just now came to Emilio's mind. I didn't say Ronald's name, so it probably doesn't count...

"Okay, have you figured out how to apologize to Ronald in person?"

"I..." Emilio was speechless for a moment.

Martin Sheen looked at him, knowing the self-esteem of young people, and he couldn't stand this kind of bowing down to his peers.

"Hey, I don't have much to teach you about acting. Listen, son, I say something and you repeat it."

"Ronald, I'm sorry...I formally apologize to you for my stupidity"

"Ronald, I'm sorry..."

"Idiot, you have to look into his eyes." Martin Sheen looked at Emilio, who had his head lowered, and lightly hit him on the head.

"Again, Ronald, I'm sorry..."

"Ronald, I'm sorry..."

…

"Very well, Ronald, you and Pfeiffer go up and show everyone one more time."

Messner asked all the students to practice. Some students who were models did not have sufficient understanding. Through the microphone, he simply called Ronald and Pfeiffer, who were the best and had the best understanding.

"This time, Ronald, you speak first."

Ronald stood two steps away from Michelle Pfeiffer, which was just the right distance for a theater performance. If it's a film performance, you can shoot over-the-shoulder dialogue shots.

He looked at Pfeiffer, who also looked at him with a smile.

"You have a beautiful smile."

Messner asked not to think too much about the lines and to focus on the other person's reaction. So Ronald just said what was in his head.

"I have a beautiful smile."

Michelle Pfeiffer repeated, nearly laughing.

"You have a beautiful smile," Ronald repeated. He liked Messner's acting class very much. This kind of practice is like a game, focusing on the tone of the other person's speech and then reproducing it exactly.

It's much more interesting than Lee Strasberg's emotional memory method, where all the students in a class burst into tears.

"I have a beautiful smile, ha." Pfeiffer also laughed at Ronald's deliberately imitated smile.

"You have a beautiful smile, haha."

"That's it, very good. You have to pick up the small changes in the other party's lines and the subtle changes in emotion at any time. Then repeat it again." Messner performed this pair of students below. There is such a tacit understanding of the students. , save yourself a lot of things.

"I have a beautiful smile." Pfeiffer saw all the students looking at her and Ronald, and her embarrassment returned. With her ex-boyfriend paired up like this and saying these ambiguous lines, she is already a married woman.

"You have a beautiful smile," Ronald heard Pfeiffer's embarrassment. Actors have to be emotionally invested in acting, which makes it more embarrassing, and Pfeiffer's nature is prone to embarrassment. He didn't put any embarrassment into his repetition this time.

"I have a beautiful smile." Pfeiffer sensed Ronald's kindness, otherwise the two of them would have become more and more awkward as they continued talking.

"Stop..." Messner interrupted the two people's repetition, "Ronald, you have lost a little bit of Pfeiffer's emotions here, do you feel it?"

"Ah, yes", Ronald was caught on the spot, "There is a little bit in Michelle's repetition last time..."

"How does it feel?" Messner is very old, but when it comes to teaching students, he is full of energy and passion. He looked at Ronald and put on an expectant expression in his clothes.

"A little embarrassing."

"That's right. Very good. You all did a good job. Keep going..."

Messner waved his hand, took a lozenge and put it in his mouth. It is a real pleasure to teach students like this.

"That's it for today, see you next time." Messner summarized everyone's performance and then announced the end of get out of class.

"Michelle, it's really nice to see you today." Ronald went over to say goodbye to Pfeiffer.

"Me too, will you come here often in the future?"

"I'm a little busy, so I might miss class. Is someone here to pick you up?"

"Horton will pick me up."

"Okay, that's it, goodbye."

"Oh...it turns out you know Ronald, and I've never heard of you talking about it." A classmate next to her named Jennifer pulled Pfeiffer's arm and praised him.

"I met him when I was in New York. He was just a screenwriter and crew assistant at that time."

"Oh..." Jennifer looked at Ronald, a little disdainful of Pfeiffer, why didn't you catch such a director? If it were me...

…

"Ronald, Martin Sheen called. He will personally bring Emilio to apologize to you. I hope you will show your respect."

The person who came to pick up Ronald at the door was agent Niceta.

"How did you wake him up?" Ronald asked.

"I asked Coppola to give him a message. Francis may have taken the matter a bit seriously."

"Ronald, I'm sorry...I formally apologize to you for my stupidity"

In CAA's office, Emilio was escorted by his parents and apologized to Ronald in person.

Except for Ronald and Niceta, the agent with the closest relationship and the communication channel between the two parties, no outsiders were present.

Ronald looked at Emilio, who was hunched over and cowering in fear, and felt something in his heart. Is my status enough to make the other party so afraid?

No, Ronald had just received training from Messner, and his ability to pick up the opponent's emotions had improved a little. Emilio's fearful look just now seemed inconsistent with his heart.

"Ronald, I also apologize to you. You know, when I had Emilio and his brother, I moved around in slum apartments in various districts of New York. Emilio often changed schools and never attended the same school for more than half a year. I went to school and later found a house on Staten Island to settle down.”

Emilio's mother Janet, who was next to her, saw her eldest son being so groveling and Ronald still didn't speak. She felt anxious and ignored him for the sake of her son. She also apologized to Ronald.

"There's no need for this, Mrs. Xin." Ronald couldn't stand a mother who was so humble for the sake of her children. When she mentioned Staten Island, she couldn't help but remind him of his Aunt Karen.

"I can forgive your recklessness, but I have conditions." Ronald said what he had discussed with his agent.

"First, the revelations you planned will stop immediately." Niceta helped the client explain the conditions. "Second, all personal things about Ronald, no matter how much you know, can no longer be spread to any third party, my friend. It’s not okay to just chat.”

"Third, if anyone else breaks the news and attacks Ronald, we will regard you as not keeping your promise."

"I can do it, Ronald. No, I mean Mr. Li, I promise to do these." Emilio promised immediately.

Ronald looked at Martin Sheen.

"I promise, I will watch him." Martin Sheen also nodded and promised.

"Well, I won't pursue this matter. Ask Francis for me, what is he busy with now?"

"He is preparing for his new movie and is still looking for the leading actor."

Ronald and Martin Sheen chatted for a while and revealed this paragraph. Ignoring Emilio.
