Exploiting Hollywood 1980

After developing the reshoots, Ronald spent several days in the editing room re-editing the film, and then sent it to Paramount for re-editing.

The two producers, Don Simpson and Bruckheimer, were very satisfied with this version of the film. Being able to have passionate scenes not only attracts male audiences, but many female audiences also like them.

They agreed to organize a test screening with audiences in early January next year to see how they respond. If it can be better than the last test screening, Paramount can just print more copies and negotiate with theaters about the number of theaters it will be released in.

Everything is going in the right direction.

Ronald continued his vacation. On this day, he found a few Canadian actors working hard in Hollywood to party together. Michael J. Fox has begun filming the new season of "Ties". In this season, he plays Alex Keaton, a supporter of the Commander-in-Chief, who falls in love.

The actor who plays his girlfriend is named Tracy Pollan. It seems that Fox is very attracted to her and has cut off contact with other girlfriends to date her.

The comedian, fat John Candy, was always joking about them, saying that the writers should have Tracy Pollan's characters, Ellen and Alex, get married on the show.

"To be serious, I seem to have seen that ABC has launched a season of a family-growing TV series recently. Are you going to compete with you?" Ronald was lying on the big sofa in the party house, eating nuts and chatting with Fox.

Several people are not very noisy and like this type of party.

"Yes, NBC supports the Elephant Party, and ABC supports the Donkey Party. My father is a psychiatrist, and my mother is a TV host. Their values ​​​​are biased toward the progressive Donkey Party. But we are not afraid, and the ratings have not been affected too much. Influence." John Candy knew these inside stories very well.

The character Alex Keaton played by Fox is so popular that he gave the Elephant Party a lot of points in the election. He also often explains the economic policies of the commander-in-chief in TV series. Many young people imitate Alex. words and deeds.

This made Donkey Party a little nervous, and he quickly launched a tit-for-tat family comedy. After all, the competition between the two parties is ultimately about competing for young people.

"What's the name of that TV show?" Ronald, who doesn't usually watch TV, asked Candy.

"Growing Pains."

Just when I turned on the TV, ABC was rebroadcasting this competition drama with Michael J. Fox. The beginning is very interesting. Photos of family members from childhood to adulthood appear on the screen one after another.

Ronald watched Fox a little nervously watching the jokes in the rival show,

Canned laughter is no less frequent than family ties.

He interrupted, "I filmed Top Gun and The Mighty Kid 2 and they will be released next summer. Then you will all come to the premiere."

"Of course," the two agreed while eating snacks. As an actor, I still hope to make more movies instead of being tied to TV series.

"Are you going to premieres around the world?" Foxx asked.

"Maybe. Producer Don Simpson is contacting premieres in Britain, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong and other places. I will participate in several shows by then. The schedule is very tight."

"Back to the Future arranged a premiere in London. They called it a Royal Premiere. Members of the royal family came to attend. I even sat with Princess Diana. She was a nice person, not royal."

Meanwhile, on the East Coast, in Washington, D.C., the heart of America, in the White House. First Lady Nancy is also discussing Princess Diana's visit to the White House with astrology expert Joan Quigley.

"Does her date of birth match the commander-in-chief? When should I arrange the welcome banquet? What are the best companions?"

"I have made calculations. Princess Diana's astrology is very mysterious, especially during Mercury retrograde. Her astrology seems to be in conflict with the commander-in-chief." Joan Quigley's previous two times, for clients hidden in the White House, Hinting at Nancy twice, but to no avail.

Nancy, who wanted to obey her astrological advice, didn't know why she failed to comply with this person's request twice.

"What should we do?" Nancy was very nervous.

"Princess Diana's status is such that you should not invite more politicians to confront her tit for tat. The collision between the British royal family and the top figures in America is likely to affect the tranquility of the White House. As long as one or two key figures are needed, To keep the stars in balance." Quigley went on to suggest that Nancy should trust Donald Regan, the White House director who switched jobs.

"Then I'll find more old friends in Hollywood. Will they have any conflicts with the royal family?"

"Of course. I heard that Princess Diana liked to dance very much. There are several dancing kings in Hollywood. Why don't you arrange more people from the entertainment industry and less politicians. Do you remember that the one I mentioned last time has a similar name to the commander-in-chief? Is he younger? He can play a key balancing role." Expert Joan Quigley continued to hint that Nancy could use more Donald Regan.

"Okay, I will invite him. Your suggestions always work well, and he was very helpful the last two times he came." Nancy thought of Ronald Jr., who happened to be a director of musicals, and was sure Can dance. Then find the old and new dance kings and ask them to dance more with the beautiful princess.

"The last two times?" Joan Quigley put down the phone, a little confused. Could Nancy be mistaken? It seems that I will have to use a different hinting method next time. Otherwise, if the White House executive paid 30,000 yuan but failed to achieve his goal, his reputation would be affected.

"Ronald, the White House wants to talk to you."

Niceta called and told Ronald that the first lady had something to contact him again.

"Why are you looking for me again? I'm just a director."

Since he made up his mind to stay away from the big shots in the political circle, Ronald has never taken the initiative to find the chief commander and the deputy commander-in-chief and his wife.

But there was no excuse for First Lady Nancy looking for him. I just picked up the phone with a smile and asked what the old lady wanted to do this time.

"Ronald, this time the British Prince Charles and his wife are coming to the White House for a visit. I heard that Princess Diana loved dancing. Can you find some younger dancers to come to the White House so that we can fulfill her little dream. "

"Huh?" Ronald was confused.

"The dancing kings I know are all people like Gene Kelly and Fred Asdale. I think the princess likes young people. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Well, I remember that John Travolta who played 'Grease' became popular all over the world a few years ago. As for the two breakdancers, breakdancing is mainly an individual dance. If the princess comes, they still have to dance together. That kind of thing, right? I’m afraid the British people are not as open-minded as you, and are willing to put down your body and dance with the people happily."

"Ah ha ha ha ha... You are right. British people always pretend to be very conservative. I will inform John Travolta. Are there any male stars that young girls admire now?"

"This? It seems that Tom Selleck, who plays the Hawaiian detective, is quite popular now. Young girls like it very much." Ronald rummaged through his belly and mentioned the name of a star.

These two were once national celebrities, but Tom Cruise was not as well-known as them.

"It's a good choice. You will come when the time comes."

Ronald didn't know what Nancy had planned. At the White House dinner, he introduced some masculine Hollywood movie stars to the wife of the heir of Britain and asked them to dance. What's the plan?

He didn't dare to ask, so he could only do what the first lady ordered. Ronald called Niceta and asked him to inform CAA client John Travolta.

John Travolta has fallen from his peak for a long time. Stallone directed "Dragon Dance", which he starred in, which highlighted his star status. Although it did well at the box office, the reviews were very poor. He received fewer and fewer good scripts.

This time, with Ronald's help, Travolta felt a little grateful to be able to go to the White House for the state banquet. Finally appeared in the news media.

In the White House ballroom, Travolta and Ronald sat at a table. The two toasted to cover up and whispered together.

"Why did the first lady ask me to dance with the princess? Is this a bit rude? Or is it some European royal etiquette?"

Ronald didn't know the truth, "I don't know at all. To be honest, we in Hollywood only have a little reputation because of the love of the audience. We are nothing in the eyes of big shots. Anyway, whatever the owner of the White House tells us to do, we will Just do whatever you want. Pay attention to your etiquette and don’t cross the line when the time comes.”

"I think you're right." Travolta agreed.

The live band began to play music.

First lady Nancy came over and patted Ronald and Travolta on the back, "It's your turn, young people, go up and stay with the beautiful princess."

Travolta and Ronald looked at each other, then stood up and walked towards Princess Diana.

"Can I ask you to dance?" John Travolta extended his hand to Diana in a Broadway style and invited her to dance.

"Of course" Diana happily accepted the invitation and danced the foxtrot with Travolta.

Ronald took a sip of champagne. He was tall and had very good eyesight. He clearly saw the crown prince in the distance and curled his lips slightly.

"Click, click" the photographer began to take photos of Princess Diana and John Travolta.

Travolta is worthy of being the new generation of Hollywood dance king, guiding Princess Diana to spin briskly. The little black dress worn by Diana had a deep V-neck and was very close-fitting to the knees, while it was exaggeratedly open below the knees, making it very suitable for dancing. The hem of her skirt floated gently with her dance steps.

At the end of the song, Travolta and Diana greeted each other, and Ronald quickly applauded with everyone.

Nancy walked to the side of the Hollywood movie stars again, urging masculine stars such as Tom Selleck and Clint Eastwood to come up and dance with the princess.

Ronald only felt that the princess was dancing more and more happily, and the crown prince's face was getting longer and longer.

"You go too, Ronald." Nancy ran over again and patted Ronald on the back.

"I'm not a star." Ronald muttered, but still stepped forward to invite Princess Diana.

"I wonder if I would be honored to dance with you, Your Royal Highness. I am Ronald, a director in Hollywood."

"Haha, I know you. When I went to see Back to the Future, Fox mentioned you. If you hadn't recommended him, he might not have been able to star in this movie."

"He is exaggerating. He was originally the first choice of the crew, but the schedule did not cooperate." Ronald gently led the beautiful princess and danced the waltz together.

Diana also had short light blond hair, but her demeanor and temperament were more innocent, which was very different from Ronald's image of a princess. She also talked about wanting to take William and Harry to see "Back to the Future," but she was afraid they would be too young to appreciate it. I'm also afraid that if I miss the screening period, I won't be able to see it again.

"You can buy him a video tape and watch it at home when he is older, no, in the palace." Ronald suggested.

"What a great idea. What's your next movie? Will it premiere in London too?" Diana wore a beautiful necklace around her neck. A necklace composed of four pearls, with a large emerald inlaid on the chest. Paired with her blue velvet skirt, it looks very noble.

"It's Top Gun, a movie about a fighter pilot. Boys will love it."

"Well, I will also go to the royal premiere then."

At the end of the song, Ronald bowed deeply and performed a courtesy, not knowing whether he did it right or not.

Diana covered her mouth and smiled, it seemed that she had gone too far.

However, the face of the crown prince next to him didn't seem so gloomy anymore. Ronald's salute was as rustic as his country cousin from America, but he was much more respectful than the celebrities just now.

Travolta came up to invite the princess again, and the two continued to dance various dances.

The crown prince's face began to elongate again, and his mother warned herself. The great commander of America wants to declare his dominance to the world in the Anglo-American alliance.

The wife of the Prime Minister of Britain was too strong and repeatedly tried to dominate the policies of her allies in the policy towards the Soviet Union. The United States is likely to use this dinner to make a fuss.

"The Commander-in-Chief is here!" The Commander-in-Chief, who was belatedly arrived, entered the banquet venue. After he met with the crown prince and his wife, he had some official business to deal with, so he came now.

After giving a brief welcome speech, the commander-in-chief took the initiative and invited Princess Diana to dance. The photographer next to me started taking pictures again.

"It seems that it was really arranged?" Ronald hid aside. He didn't want the photo of them dancing to appear on the front page of tomorrow's news.

When the song ended, everyone started clapping again.

The crown prince also came over and politely invited Nancy to dance.

As for Princess Diana, she was dancing like crazy. Travolta joined her one after the other, foxtrot, rumba, waltz, and cha-cha. I kept dancing for more than an hour.

"Click, click" The photographer also captured the princess' dancing posture and her face that was slightly red due to heat after dancing.

"Lovely lady", Clint Eastwood next to her didn't get many opportunities to dance with Princess Diana, and no reporters took photos. Looking at the dancing, Diana couldn't help but say something.

"Are you talking to me?" Ronald thought to himself. Eastwood has not spoken to him since Longwei Boy did not choose his son as the protagonist.

Sure enough, Clint Eastwood turned around and saw Ronald, and frowned in disgust.

Then he said in his soft voice, "I heard that you have made several blockbuster movies, but Hollywood is a place that pays attention to the long term..."

"You still don't drink Coca-Cola, only Pepsi?" Ronald didn't want to talk to this old movie star and listen to him lecture him. So he specifically picked out things that made Eastwood uncomfortable.

"Hmph... young man. "

Since his son was not chosen for the role of Dragonboy, Eastwood later refused to make a film for Columbia, a subsidiary of Coca-Cola, and refused to have Coca-Cola appear in any film he directed.

"Hua Hua Hua..."

Finally, John Travolta finished his last dance with Princess Diana, and he retreated to Ronald's side.

"She is really a charming lady." Travolta praised.

"You are going to be famous. You will probably be on the front page tomorrow." Ronald said.

"What do I do? When the first lady asks you to do something, it's best to do it the way she wants it to be done." Travolta shrugged.
