Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Thank you, Ronald."

In a luxurious Chinese restaurant, Tom Cruise, Paula Wagner, Rick Niceta, and Ronald sat together.

The portions in high-end restaurants are small but rich. Baked escargots, foie gras, steak, prawns, and other delicacies were paired with rosé wine produced in Alsace, and several people had a great time.

Tom Cruise raised his glass in greeting to Ronald. Niceta and his wife Paula also raised their glasses.

"Thank you very much. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today." Tom Cruise is very energetic, from supporting his debut to sending him to the dentist, as well as "Top Gun" and "Fantasy" that have been widely praised by the industry. Thanks Ronald for your help.

Paula Wagner's thanks are most sincere. She no longer acts as Ronald's agent, but instead straightens out the relationship in terms of interests. Paula, who served Tom Cruise wholeheartedly, was grateful to Ronald, who allowed Cruise to complete the most important step in becoming a star.

The industry is very well-informed, "Top Gun" is doing extremely well, and everyone knows that Tom Cruise will soar when the movie is released next year.

The other Ronald was less helpful, but still important.

After the report about the Hollywood "boy gang" came out, although Paula helped Tom Cruise to clear up the relationship immediately, but when put together with the names of those bad boys who only care about picking up girls, taking advantage, and having sex every night, There's always damage to Cruise's reputation.

This time, because of the commendation given to him by the First Lady, this trouble was unexpectedly completely resolved. The "Dyslexia Outstanding Person Award" presented by Nancy gave Tom Cruise a hard-working persona for no reason, completely distancing himself from the bad boy gang headed by Emilio.

"Mr. Cruise, your call. It's Minnie."

Celebrities often come to dine at high-end restaurants, and what they need is the tranquility of ordinary people. Therefore, the waiters here have been trained and will never come up to ask for autographs midway.

Tom smiled shyly, stood up and went to the corridor to answer the phone.

"Oh my god."

Paula Wagner banged her head on the table.

"What's wrong?" Ronald looked strange, "Whose phone number is it? Whose code name is Minnie Mouse?"

Paula raised her head,

Drink all the rosé wine in your glass.

"It's Xue'er."

"Huh? Them?" Ronald suddenly figured it out. The two of them seemed to have known each other at Madonna's wedding.

"I'm very distressed. I can't ignore it or take too much care." Paula Wagner looked very sad. "His ex-girlfriend Rebecca De Mornay was a much better match. It's a pity that they don't have much feelings for each other. "

As Tom Cruise's top agent, Paula began to manage the fallout.

She must not let this relationship be exposed. Paula strictly ordered the two to only date in private and never be photographed by reporters. So when making phone calls, cartoon characters are used as code names.

Paula also had an additional task for no reason, which was to help connect Tom Cruise and Cher and find an opportunity to fly out for a date together.

"Would this relationship cause such a big problem if it were made public?" Ronald didn't quite understand.

"This was a mutual decision between us and Xueer's agent after we had a meeting and quarreled."

"Xueer looks well-maintained, very fashionable and elegant. Can't fans accept it?"

"No, they are too far apart in age. Cher is sixteen years older than Tom. She is already thirty-nine this year, and she started her career as a singer, so her age is no secret."

Tom Cruise began to accumulate a huge number of female fans, which was both his asset and his curse.

Ronald knew something about the power of stardom. When a film project is being approved, no one, whether it is a major studio or an independent producer, can guarantee which film will be a hit.

But if a star is willing to star in a script written by an unknown new screenwriter, then the star will naturally attract many viewers to watch the genre film he stars in. In this way, there is naturally a market foundation, and producers often change from being uninterested to actively promoting the project.

But these blessings are by no means free. Stars must fit the audience's imagination. Like the late action star, Steve McQueen. As long as he is willing to drive for a while, beat up a few villains, and get together with the heroine, the audience will like to watch it.

The other types of roles he played were ignored at the box office.

Therefore, Steve McQueen must stick to his bad boy macho persona. In life, he also drives cars, picks up girls, and smokes. What may be bad habits for others turn into advantages for him. Unfortunately, he smoked too much and died of lung cancer at a very young age.

Tom Cruise is front, up, and full of energy. Fans' expectations for him are to fall in love and get married with a gentle woman of his own age. Cher is sixteen years older than Ten Cruise, so it would be easy for her to lose the support of her fans once it becomes public. Without the support of fans, Tom will no longer be a rising star in Hollywood.

But on the other hand, as an agent, you cannot interfere too much in the private life of celebrities.

After all, you are just his agent. Even if you are a family member, in America, which advocates freedom, it is difficult to interfere in your personal emotional life.

Moreover, agents are also a vulnerable group when facing famous stars. It is common sense that if they are not good, they will be fired.

So Paula Wagner swung between two directions, struggling to keep her balance. The financial teams of the two celebrities were all made miserable by their sudden love.

"Ronald", Tom Cruise came back and sat down with a smile.

"How long are you going to stay in Los Angeles?"

"I'm going to Chicago soon. Director Scorsese has confirmed the filming date, and Mr. Paul Newman also called me. I will join them. This is my first time with the actor. acting."

The four of them chatted for a while, and Paula settled the bill. She sent Cruise to the Hilton Hotel first. Cher wanted to see him today.

Ronald and Niceta were left drinking rosé wine and enjoying dessert.

"Paula, thank you very much. Nancy's commendation has solved Tom's biggest hidden danger, which was being associated with the Bad Boys Gang."

"There are no benefits to being a gangster." Ronald took a small bite of pudding. "At least teenagers admire them."

Now the name of the Boy Gang has gradually expanded its scope. It is no longer limited to the male actors in that report, but also includes several actresses who played together.

The brats recognized in the media are now the actors who have appeared in the movies "The Breakfast Club" and "St. Elmo's Fire." Demi Moore and Ally Sheedy are now official members of the Brat Gang.

"I don't understand something." Ronald raised his hand and was gently shaken. "Why does the First Lady Nancy always come to me? In fact, I don't have a particularly deep relationship with her. How about doing his son a favor like me and the deputy commander’s wife, Barbara.”

"I have inquired about this matter from many sources." Niceta obviously attaches great importance to the relationship between Ronald and the White House.

He leaned closer and lowered his voice, "There are rumors in Hollywood that Nancy is a serious astrology enthusiast. Since the commander-in-chief was shot in 1981, any schedule or personnel changes must be discussed with the new astrologer. . Maybe you have the same zodiac sign as him."

Ronald was stunned, but if he thought about it carefully, it was very possible.

"Are Barbara and Nancy's zodiac signs particularly incompatible?" Ronald thought of the contradiction between the two ladies.

"Then who knows? Anyway, you should be careful when dating Nancy and don't do anything inappropriate. Ronald, you have a bright future. The movies you shoot exceed everyone's expectations every time. Hollywood will be your future Get what you want, don't get involved in the complexities of Washington."

"I understand."

Ronald thought to himself that Douglas had already reminded him of this, "But if First Lady Nancy sees the trick, I'd better just follow her instructions. Just don't try to cling to me."

"You've always been wise." Niceta clinked glasses with him. "I never have to worry about you like I worry about other clients of CAA."

"What happened again?" Ronald seemed to have something in his words.

"It's not Stallone yet, now Mr. Ovitz is worried about him every day."

"Pfft", Ronald was in a good mood, "have another drink."

"Tell me, what happened to him? Our baby Rocky."

"Do you remember Schwarzenegger's girlfriend? The one who starred with him in 'Excalibur' was Bridgett Nielsen."

"Remember, what happened to her?" Ronald saw her at Cameron's place.

"She's Stallone's girlfriend now."

"Huh?" Ronald asked in surprise, and in his mind he began to imagine the scene of two action men fighting over an actress.

"Schwarzenegger is pursuing a girl from the Kennedy family. But it's hard to get rid of Brigitte. I heard that Schwarzenegger secretly sent naked photos of Brigitte Nielsen to Stallone through his agent. agent."

"Isn't it?" Ronald suddenly heard such explosive gossip and couldn't digest it for a while.

"If we didn't even know this, we wouldn't have to be CAA's agents." Niceta replied with a smile.

"You also know our Sylvester (Sly). Although he is as strong as a bull, his ability to pick up girls is average. With such a ready-made beauty, of course they will be inseparable quickly. In Rocky 4, Bu was also given Brigitte has a small role as a villain's wife. Stallone is now trying to find a script that would allow him and Brigitte to play the leading role."

"Hahahaha..." After listening to Niceta's narration in a low voice, Ronald couldn't help laughing.

"This Italian stallion is really infatuated."
