Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"I feel good, honey." The commander-in-chief was very impressed by the mixture of admiration and concern on his wife Nancy's face, and he took a nap.

"Well", Nancy still frowned worriedly. She knew that her husband had gone through a very busy week, having surgery, accompanying a state visit, meetings to discuss the deficit and budget, the latest sanctions against South Africa, and the US Navy officer Xiao The Confederate espionage case of John Anthony Walker.

"Everything will be fine when we get to Camp David." The commander-in-chief misses his annual vacation at Camp David, which is Catoctin Mountain Park in Maryland. For privacy and security, all published maps of America are not included. Mark the location of Camp David.

It's really a good place for vacation. Even a boring person like the former commander fell in love with it after going there.

"Dear, I consulted Joan, and she said that there will be a young man approaching you to help you change your fortune. He has some similarities with you. His name is either Ronald or Donald, and Rich industry experience.”

Nancy told her husband the astrologer's reading.

"Hmm..." The commander was only half-convinced about these astrology, but when he heard the name Donald, his brows widened. Isn’t his Treasury Secretary Donald Regan a young man with Wall Street experience?

His own White House chief of staff, James Baker, did not get along well with many people. He had served him loyally for several years, and it was time for him to be released.

"Ronald Lee, the director who sent 'Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears' last time, sent another movie this time. I heard it was produced by his good friend Spielberg. If you want to see it, we When you get to Camp David, watch this movie to relax, and you can take him with you. I think it might be helpful for you to talk to this young man with the same name as you."

"I know that movie, the starring role is the young man who played Alex Keaton. I heard that many young people in the Donkey Party are imitating Keaton and calling themselves Ronald Donkey Party." The commander heard it. He understood the unintended meaning of his wife Nancy's words, but obviously Nancy's interpretation was wrong. It was clear that the astrologer was talking about Donald Regan.

Compared with himself, this young director can only be regarded as a grandson, not a young man.

"I'll notify the Secret Service and take him with me." Nancy stubbornly believed that the astrologer was talking about Ronald.

Soon the Secret Service found Ronald and took him to the White House. Ronald was still wondering how it happened, and Nancy came over to greet him personally, "You are a Capricorn, right? Ronald?"

"Uh, I am."

"Well,

You go to Camp David with us, the scenery there is great. "Nancy smiled and asked the Secret Service people to take him to the motorcade.

After giving a pre-vacation farewell speech at the White House, the commander-in-chief, his wife, and several special agents boarded the Marine One helicopter and flew directly to Camp David. Ronald rode in the back car and went with many White House staff.

At 7:50 in the evening, the commander-in-chief and his wife appeared at the movie theater at Camp David on time.

"Young man, we meet again. I hope what you brought is a good movie."

Without waiting for Ronald to answer, the commander-in-chief, his wife, and all the staff filed in. Everyone is very pleased that the Commander-in-Chief, who is already over seventy years old, is still in such high spirits after undergoing surgery and a long flight.

Michael J. Fox, the star of Back to the Future, is very popular with the Commander. His role in "Family Ties" actually promotes the conservative values ​​of the Commander. Many young people can't stand their parents' hippie generation. His liberal style all fell in love with the commander-in-chief because of this role.

"Ah ha ha ha ha..."

The Chief and his wife laughed, and the movie put the protagonist Marty McFly back in 1955, when he first appeared in his hometown thirty years ago in a time machine modified by a DeLorean sports car. On the poster, there is a poster of a movie from that year.

The poster shows the 1954 movie "The Cow Queen of Montana" starring Barbara Stanwyck and Datong.

"My dear, you are so handsome."

"Yes, it's my first time to play opposite a big star like Barbara Stanwyck."

Two former Hollywood movie star couples began to miss their old days.

Marty McFly found a young professor who was five years old and told him the principles of a time machine, hoping that he would build another time machine so that he could go back to the future.

"You said you came back in 1985, then who did you say was the commander-in-chief at that time?"

"Hehehe..." A burst of laughter came from the screening room, and of course it was the current commander-in-chief, Old Ronald.

"It's Hollywood star Ronald." Marty replied to the doctor?

"Ronald? The Ronald who acted in the movie with Barbara Stanwyck? Hahaha, you really have a rich imagination. Who is the deputy commander, Jerry Lewis? Where is the first lady? Then Isn’t Jane Wyman the First Lady?”

"Who is Jane Wyman?" Ronald muttered. Isn't the commander-in-chief's wife Nancy?

The movie continued for more than a minute. During this time, something terrible seemed to happen in the screening room. Everyone looked aside and stopped looking at the screen, as if they were afraid that some monster would appear on the screen. , or the embarrassing situation of not being able to watch.

"Clatter, clack, clack, clack, clack, clack."

The film ran out on the screen, and the projectionist didn't pick up the next film.

The whole place fell into a deathly silence, and no one dared to make a sound.

The commander's face was ashen, and his eyes like an eagle suddenly emitted a sharp light as he looked at the White House Chief of Staff, James Baker.

Ronald was sitting at the very edge. He saw Baker, the chief of staff, and was stared at by the commander. His whole body felt as if he was being stared at by a wild beast. He seemed to be frozen there, not knowing what to do.

After a few seconds, his whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"T\u0026T Prime Minister, this is a misunderstanding. Today's audiences are all watching the TV series 'Eagle Crest Manor', so they added this dialogue..." The staff member in charge of the movie screening came out to explain stammeringly. After a while, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped there.

"Why do you bring this up?"

Including Ronald, all the staff present had never seen such a cold expression on the Commander's face and such a frozen question.

Ronald didn't understand what was going on, but he was also caught up in this weird atmosphere and didn't dare to make even the slightest sound, for fear of the anger of the most powerful couple in America. He didn't know where the anger came from. , passed on to him.

"Go ahead and show the movie, I thought Marty McFly's performance was pretty good."

At the critical moment, First Lady Nancy spoke up and saved everyone.

The movie continued to play, and everyone carefully hid what had just happened and would not discuss it again. It's like he never happened.

"Woo..." The doctor's new space-time car, taking Marty McFly and his girlfriend Jennifer Parker, flew into the sky at the end of the film.

The staff began clapping with mock enthusiasm.

The discussion after the movie was quite pleasant. The couple seemed particularly impressed by Michael J. Fox's performance.

T\u0026T commented on how clever the film was and that this was the type of film Hollywood should be making, rather than some of the more controversial, violent or adult-themed films that seemed to be common at the time.

Nancy began to talk about the heroic appearance of the commander in the movie poster. He and Barbara Stanwyck played very well.

"That's it for today, boys."

The commander felt a little tired. Only he and his wife were talking about today's comments after watching the movie. He stood up and walked out of the screening room hand in hand with his wife.

"I hope you will listen to the commander's advice more in the future and make more movies that convey traditional values." Nancy also chatted with Ronald Jr. when she walked out. Although there was a bit of unpleasantness today, after Ronald Jr. came, my husband obviously recovered very well in energy and spirit. It seemed that the astrologer's prediction was very accurate.

Ronald returned to the cabin assigned to him by the Secret Service.

He made a long-distance call to Douglas Jr., "It almost scared me to death. I never thought that the kind-faced and charming commander-in-chief would talk to people like this. I almost wanted to escape from the screening room."

"You will gradually realize the style of politicians in the future. As I said, it is better to keep a safe distance from them."

Ronald's second call was to his agent Niceta, "Who is Jane Wyman?"

"Ronald?" Niceta was woken up and answered from under the covers, "She is the heroine of the TV series 'Eagle Crest Manor' that is currently airing. She is the hostess of the winery. Where did you call me from? "

"I was at Camp David, why did the commander-in-chief just..." when he heard his name?

"What? Has no one told you? Jane Wyman is the ex-wife of the Commander-in-Chief and is taboo to him. You wouldn't have said anything there, would you?" Niceta suddenly woke up with a fright and sat up from the bed. stand up.

"I'm fine. We were just watching Spielberg's 'Back to the Future' together at Camp David, and there was a line in it that mentioned Jane Wyman."

"Come back quickly and don't do this kind of thing again." Nicita broke into a cold sweat and quickly asked her most important client to come back to Los Angeles.

"Huh..." Ronald felt sticky all over, and there was a cold feeling on his back. Even though it was summer, the nights at Camp David were cool.

After learning the identity of Jane Wyman, Ronald broke out in a sweat again and went to the bathroom to rinse again.

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. When you mingle with these top big shots, you can sometimes take advantage of their reputations and take advantage of them. However, if you are not careful, the big shot will be in a bad mood, or the fights with other people will be inadvertently wiped out. It will be very miserable for you.

Under the shower, Ronald wiped the water off his face and let the hot water pour over his body again.

After changing into his pajamas and drying his hair, Ronald made up his mind to rely mainly on his own ability in the future and not to get too close to these political figures.

Sitting on the staff bus, Ronald left Camp David and returned to Washington.

"You almost killed me." Ronald rarely got angry at director Robert Zemeckis who came to inquire about the news.

"When you asked me to deliver the copy, didn't you think about the line about Ronald Sr. being the commander-in-chief and Jane Wyman being the first lady? Don't you know that Wyman's name is taboo in the White House? I I almost became the first idiot to mention this name!”

"Is this nothing? Who in Hollywood hasn't been divorced once or twice?" Zemeckis looked confused. This level of teasing is nothing, right?

"You know what the heck, this is Washington, put away your Hollywood attitude, here you have to wait in line even to brush your teeth in the morning, aren't you embarrassing Nancy?"

"I..." Zemeckis stayed on the spot, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't expect this level..."

"Let's run away while no one is using the topic. You were innocently involved in the fight in the White House. Do you want this line in your movie to be caught and publicized by the media?" Ronald shook Zemeckis's back.

"Okay, I'll call Steven right away and say hello to Universal. All media should not mention this episode."

It was released in 1,500 theaters, and there was no time to change the copy. I could only remove any part that reminded me of Nancy in the marketing, and then say hello to the media partners with whom I have a close relationship. Finally, I prayed that no small media would discover this paragraph and let the third A couple of awkward lines.

By the end of the night, Spielberg called himself to apologize.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through well. The box office of the movie is nothing compared to such a big thing. Our ridicule is just that. It was really a big failure to send it to the White House for screening."

"I said Steven, there are a lot of old Hollywood people at Universal. Didn't anyone remind you during the filming and editing process?" Ronald began to complain.

"America's First Amendment guarantees the freedom of film creation, and the marriage between Jane Wyman and the Chief was a long time ago, and we have all forgotten it."

"Well, fortunately, I didn't say a word at Camp David this time. You didn't see the power of the commander's anger. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat."

"Sorry, Ronald, I will make it up to you. It was our mistake this time."

Ronald greeted Weintraub and returned to Los Angeles alone. If Barbara knew about this, it might cause another conflict between her and Nancy, so it was better to let it rot in her stomach.

The next afternoon, Ronald, who had arrived at the Los Angeles Airport, saw the latest news being broadcast on the TV station.

"The reshuffle in the White House has begun. The White House press secretary said that the commander-in-chief has signed an order to swap positions between White House Chief of Staff James Baker and Treasury Secretary Donald Regan.

Reagan, who has worked at Merrill Lynch for many years and has extensive experience in the financial field, became the White House chief of staff. James Baker, a veteran politician who has been leading the T\u0026T campaign team, becomes the new finance minister.

In an interview, Baker said that his first task is to work with the finance ministers of the West and Japan to solve the trade imbalance problem in America.
