Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 272 Ronald is the real hero

"So, the Gambino family did not report the subsequent investigation to Dino De Laurentiis?" Ronald asked the newly arrived private detective Mike Pike.

"They didn't want to anger Rudy. This time Rudy was cruel. The speakers or agents of the four major families were all prosecuted. Only the Gambino family was the most cunning and temporarily escaped the tracking of their speakers. . They counterattacked in such a roundabout way because they were afraid of Rudy and sent a signal not to push too hard."

Mike Pike arrived in Los Angeles at night. He hadn't eaten yet and was stuffing a piece of pizza into his mouth.

"No wonder, I always feel that Dino is sure that you are the mastermind behind the scenes. It turns out that he only saw the arrest warrant of the crazy detective and the report that framed you. He didn't see the second internal investigation that dismissed the madman. Report." The agents suddenly realized.

"Everything will proceed as planned." The public relations consultant began to assign tasks.

"Ronald, can you pay for my plane ticket?" McPike ate the last piece of pizza with satisfaction, and then took a sip of hot coffee, which Aunt Karen brewed for him.

"I had a falling out with my boss, and my pension hasn't been paid yet. Now I have to work as a private detective. Money is tight, so you'd better settle it in cash."

"Okay," Ronald laughed heartily, pulled McPike into the small room next to him, found his checkbook, and asked, "How much should I pay you?"

"In addition to my share, you also have to give a share to the undercover agent in the Gambino family. Because he could not be exposed, he was also arrested by Rudy, and his bail cost a lot of money. He has no income, and his mother Hospitalization is also expensive.

I also fell out with the boss of nypd because I wanted him to get the income and position promotion he deserved. These people only want to use undercover agents and don't give them what they deserve. "

The undercover agent that McPike had direct contact with had climbed to a relatively high-level position in the Gambino family and was said to be working under the second-in-command John Gotti. That's why this time, he was asked to get Ronald's documents stolen by Gotti's insider inside the nypd and send them to Los Angeles.

Ronald wrote the number McPike requested on the check and handed it to him, "Say hello to your friend for me. What's his name?"

"The name is top secret." McPike shook his head. Even when he discussed the undercover agent with his boss, he did not call him by name, but called him by his code name 4587. "

"This is what happened exactly. Ronald was framed by the black sheep within the NYPD and was treated unfairly. Afterwards, the NYPD discovered the problem and launched an internal investigation, which has cleared my client's name.

This is the conclusion reached in their final document. "

Lindsay Dole, holding the original manuscripts of two documents, showed them to reporters at a news conference.

"Click, click", the photographer kept pressing the shutter to capture this dramatic scene.

"This is the certificate that the NYPD Southern District awarded to my client later. It is a model of police-civilian cooperation."

"I would like to ask Ronald, what do you think of the groundless suspicion and slander against you before?"

This is a well-managed media, taking the lead in asking questions to set the tone of the press conference.

"I feel very innocent. I am one of the victims. Fortunately, the NYPD and the prosecutors in the Southern District are all upholding justice and have cleared my name.

I don’t know why it took so long, and when I was about to forget about this incident, someone came out to frame me again.

I just want to say one thing to them: don’t do such boring things again. "

"Ronald, do you have anything to say to Miss Michelle Pfeiffer?"

Another reporter came up to ask questions.

"I just hope that this incident will not disturb her peaceful married life again. She is a very good actor and needs privacy. I hope you will not disturb her too much with this ridiculous incident. "

"Brooke Shields was interviewed in New Jersey. She also admitted that you had a crush on each other and had dated several times. She also said that she did not believe that you were a bad person who would blackmail women. Do you have anything to say to her?"

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the things to be clarified in this press conference, right?"

"Hahaha……"

The reporters burst into laughter. This former number one girl in America was once the focus of pursuit by all her rumored boyfriends.

"Don't you want to respond to her comment?"

"I wish her to fulfill her dream as soon as possible and graduate from Princeton."

"Ronald, former child star Diane Lane, was also interviewed in New York, saying that not only were you not the one who kidnapped her, but on the contrary, you were the one who helped her escape from the confinement of personal freedom in Tennessee and become truly independent. .Do you have anything to say to her?"

"Ah...?" Ronald did not expect that Diane would also be interviewed.

"What did she say?" Didn't you tell her not to get involved in this matter?

"She said you are America's true hero and no one should slander a good person like you."

"Oh, then help me thank her for the compliment."

"Hahaha……"

After the press conference, Ronald returned to his apartment and began to call back all the friends who had called to express his concern and thank them one by one.

The TV is showing footage of Michelle Pfeiffer being interviewed on a talk show.

"So you were deceived?"

"Yes, how should I put it? The little money I earned from filming TV series was spent on their expensive vegetable juice. If I hadn't met Ronald, I might have been exploited by them for a long time."

"It seems that you are very familiar with him? So what do you think of the controversy caused by his recent evaluation of the movie Year of the Dragon?"

It is best to achieve communication without involving the past events of the two people, so the host will move the focus with a light touch.

"I only went to see the movie later, what should I say? I think it is not good, or at least impolite, to publicly promote unfriendly names for a certain ethnic group in the movie, if it is not absolutely necessary for the plot. "

"I will donate some more money to Chinatown and the Asian team, and use my name to add fuel to the Year of the Dragon." Ronald said to Lawrence while watching TV, drinking red wine.

"Okay, after your help this time, the matter is now big enough. Many newspapers and TV stations are interviewing residents of Chinatown. The stereotype that Chinatown is full of illegal violence is also being eliminated. That Chinatown Everyone is grateful to you, and I want to thank you in person."

"Okay, let's go have morning tea together when we have time. The snacks there are very good." Ronald smiled. It seems that the impact of this commotion on Chinatown's business has been minimized.

"Damn it, Gotti actually tricked me and didn't hand me the second document." Dino De Laurentiis was so angry that he threw the red wine glass to the ground after watching Ronald's press conference.

He originally wanted to use it to blackmail Ronald into a truce and say something nice for himself in the Year of the Dragon. I have evidence of his evil deeds in my hand, so I can play with him slowly, and then make him pay more after taking the bait. For example, let him at least sign a few film contracts and exploit the value.

However, as a Neapolitan, he did not dare to vent his anger on the five major New York families who immigrated from Sicily.

"Canceling all Year of the Dragon marketing budgets and public relations efforts against Chinatown, leaving Cimino to bear the wrath of Chinese Americans alone."

I was so angry that I had no choice but to vent my anger on Cimino, who was slapping me randomly.

"Laurentis Productions apologizes for the dissatisfaction caused by the Year of the Dragon among Chinese Americans. Mr. Dino De Laurentiis, the company's president, told reporters that Michael Cimino has the final cut of the film. , out of respect for the artist, he did not review the content of the final cut, which led to this incident.

Laurentiis Productions, at the appropriate opportunity, will release a re-edited version of the video, which will remove any content that causes discomfort. "

Early the next morning, Ronald finally got the good news he had been waiting for. The Hollywood Reporter had a page that published a clarification from Dino De Laurentiis' interview.

"Brother Ronnie, what I said during the interview was good, right? You see, my words are quoted on the front pages of many newspapers now."

Diane called from New York to ask Ronald for credit.

"Hollywood's real heroes"

“The hero who saved popular actress Pfeiffer from a vegetarian scammer.”

"Is it possible for Brooke Shields to get back together with real-life Hollywood hero Ronald?"

"Don't rush to accept interviews in the future, Diane. If something goes wrong, it will affect you." Ronald was still a little worried about Diane's interview. After all, it involved her mother who wanted to restrict her privacy. It's not a good thing to be exposed.

"It's okay. I'm sensible and just want to help you."

After hanging up the phone, Ronald felt relaxed. Now that the misunderstandings had been clarified, he was still a good person in the eyes of the public.

The ubiquitous media portrayed Ronald as a good American young man, with many newspapers using the title "Real Hero". After all, the hero saves the beauty from the bad guys, and the public is also very interested in this kind of story.

"Ronald, Ronald, do you still have feelings for Pfeiffer? How did you break up?"

"Is it possible for you to get back together with Brooke Shields? America's audience wants to know!"

As soon as Ronald went out, he was surrounded by reporters. Everyone wanted to know the progress of his scandal with the popular star.

"Tell me about it? Is it possible for you to do a movie with Pfeiffer?"

"Borgie was interviewed in New Jersey and said she didn't believe you would do such bad things. What do you want to say to her? When will you go to Princeton to see her?"

"No comment, no comment."

Ronald was a little confused because he had never been surrounded by so many reporters when filming a movie before? Besides, shouldn't you continue to dig deeper into the grudge between me and Year of the Dragon director Cimino, or talk about how I was wrongly accused?

Why do everyone like to gossip and eat melons?

Ronald, who fled, returned to the apartment and quickly called his agent.

"Nicita, I need to get away. Brooke and Pfeiffer are getting too hot right now."

Brooke has always been a top female star and model. During this period of time, her popularity has declined a bit since she went to college, but American audiences have not forgotten her. This time, when she mentioned that she had dated Ronald, the public's enthusiasm for gossiping about her was reignited.

Pfeiffer, on the other hand, is an actress, and her private life is rarely exposed to the public. The audience can only watch her performances through a few movies such as "Scarface" and "The Legend of the Eagle and Wolf" which was just released this year.

This time she suddenly gave an interview and revealed her pre-marriage and ex-boyfriend situations, which suddenly aroused the audience's long-standing curiosity.

The two people's concerns were superimposed on Ronald, who couldn't even get out.

"Okay, you should stay away. Now your two movies are still far away from release, which will not be good for the box office. As a director, you don't need this kind of star-like attention. Just think about where to go for vacation. Tell me and I will make arrangements for you."
