Exploiting Hollywood 1980

When Princess Diana visited the White House, the incident of dancing with Hollywood stars was written into the newspaper news.

Photos of the Princess dancing with John Travolta were released. The text also mentions that the commander-in-chief danced with the princess.

The news report was very formal. Although Prince Charles was not the official head of state, the reception was all in accordance with the specifications of a state banquet.

But what Americans are concerned about is that the beautiful princess blushed visibly while dancing with Hollywood stars.

"Anyone who dances for an hour and a half will probably blush," Ronald said to the gossipy McGillis.

"Why are there no pictures of you?" McGillis was lying on the sofa reading the newspaper. She was wearing a pair of working girl's trousers, and her feet were exposed very sexy.

"Look at the back row, I'm next to Eastwood." Ronald pointed to a corner behind the photo.

"I really envy her. Every girl who sees her long wedding dress that touches the floor when she gets married will have the fantasy that she can be so beautiful when she gets married."

"I didn't know you were the kind of person who wanted to get married." Ronald put his arm around McGillis' waist and kissed her on the face.

"I'm not, but that doesn't stop me from fantasizing."

"Get up, I've prepared vegetarian sandwiches and I'll take you to the airport later." Ronald said.

The brief but passionate relationship with McGillis made Ronald very happy, but he couldn't see through McGillis. Sometimes he felt as if he was in a movie, and McGillis was actually just playing a person with whom he was entangled. Female characters.

"Well, it's very delicious. Maybe if you don't become a director, you can make a fortune by opening a restaurant."

Ronald smiled and picked up more newspapers sent to him by his agent to read through them. Reports from Britain focused more on the courtesy the prince and princess received in America. They didn't like the disco star Travolta very much, and pointed out that the actor Princess Diana originally wanted to dance with was the ballet master Baryshnikov who defected from the Soviet Union.

"Nancy has to make Baryshnikov wear three-inch high heels to reach the princess's waist." Ronald thought with some malice.

"My dear, are you really not in Hollywood? After Top Gun is released, you will definitely become famous." Ronald hugged McGillis as he finished his sandwich.

"Hahaha,

You are a hopeless optimist. It’s just a good popcorn movie, and I’ll still do Broadway, and maybe it will be picked up by Scorsese and star in his next movie. "

"Are you serious?" Ronald raised his eyebrows. It seemed that McGillis was not very confident that the movie would be a hit.

"I'm kidding, you are a very good director, Ronald." McGillis touched Ronald's face with his hand.

"It's still half an hour before we go to the airport..." she hinted.

After sending McGillis to the flight back to New York, Ronald returned to CAA's office.

"Spielberg's wedding was held in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He didn't invite too many close friends in the industry, so in addition to being the best man, you also have to attend the court ceremony as his wedding witness." Niceta held up An invitation came to Ronald.

"Oh? Why are you going to New Mexico?" Ronald took a look, "And it won't be held in a church? No, it's a synagogue. Steven is a Jew."

…

"Why? Because I don't like the media's attention. I think marriage is a matter for two people, so I went to this quiet town to avoid the media. After we witness it in front of the judge, we will go to Europe for our honeymoon. Then At that time, the media had not received the news.”

A few days later, in the small town of Santa Fe, Ronald got a personal answer from Spielberg.

Ronald was very inactive when dealing with the media. After several Hollywood actresses' scandals with him were exposed, he actually hid across the Pacific Ocean.

Spielberg felt that this was a person who could keep secrets in front of the media, and he had a favor for him, so he was a suitable candidate for best man and witness.

Of course, Ronald was very willing, so he secretly came to the capital of New Mexico to attend the wedding of the top-grossing director in America.

Although Santa Fe is the state capital, its permanent population is only over 50,000. In the 1960s, the government passed a bill requiring buildings to maintain a Spanish-style appearance. Many early concrete buildings were re-added with tile roofs. Mud grass wall.

The two of them played video games in a classic-looking hotel room. The new game "Kung Fu" launched this year is very interesting. Ronald and Spielberg took turns, but still couldn't beat the second level.

"By the way, what did you gain from going there? I heard that Hollywood crews can be allowed to go filming?"

"It's not bad. Most of the buildings there have remained much the same as they were forty years ago. If you're filming a period drama, it's much cheaper than setting up a set."

"Steven, are you here?" Spielberg's friend, lawyer Saul Cohen, found the two people playing the game. He seemed to have something to say.

"It's okay, Ronald is my friend. What's the matter?" Spielberg was still operating the Nintendo game console. He never played Japanese games very much. This time when he saw Ronald playing, he still got started. Quite interesting.

"Have you prepared your prenuptial agreement? New Mexico is also a fair state."

Saul Cohen was a little worried about his friend's property distribution and came over to confirm.

"No problem, I've got it taken care of." Spielberg waved him off not to worry.

"That's good. In Hollywood, it's okay to talk about this. Amy should understand. Her family has already arrived. I'll go talk to them."

Ronald heard about the prenuptial agreement. He saw that Spielberg was very confident and admired him very much. Ronald felt that he could not talk about this with the bride before the wedding. Marriage was a sacred thing, and it was a bit awkward to consider the distribution of property in divorce before marriage.

"Steven, can I ask you how you discussed this? Does the bride not mind this kind of thing?"

"Hey, Ronald, this is a matter of mood and speed." Spielberg pushed up his round glasses, "Generally speaking, actresses understand this kind of thing, so what they have to do is to minimize the discomfort. To the shortest possible time. I found a napkin in the restaurant where I agreed to get married and quickly wrote the prenuptial agreement. In this way, even if she felt uncomfortable, her feelings would be diluted by the upcoming wedding. "

"On a napkin? Is that legal?"

"Of course, America is a country that values ​​commitments. What is written down and signed is the agreement."

Spielberg didn't want to talk more about his privacy, "By the way, are there really a lot of cheap film shooting professionals over there that you can hire?"

"It's true. I saw a very high-level lighting engineer, and his salary was only a few dozen dollars a month."

The altitude of Santa Fe was nearly two thousand meters. Ronald slept for one night and felt slightly unwell. He got up and ordered a breakfast, and after eating, he waited for Spielberg and his fiancée Amy Irving.

The two were dressed up, with Spielberg wearing a tuxedo and bow tie. Amy Irving wore a very conservative bridal gown with only a little lace below her neck.

New Mexico Chief Justice Thomas Donnelly officiated at their wedding. The bride's sister was the witness for the woman and Ronald was the witness for the man.

After a brief ceremony, and without the oaths in a religious ceremony, the judge announced the union of 38-year-old Spielberg and 31-year-old Amy Irving. The marriage is protected by New Mexico law as a valid marriage.

The whole ceremony was short but sweet. Amy Irving was very happy. After thanking Ronald and others, she held hands and left with her new husband. They were about to go to Europe for their honeymoon.

Somehow, Ronald felt like he was facing McGillis again. Actresses always make people suspicious when they show intimacy. They play a woman in love, or a sweet bride, simply too skillfully.

Maybe Spielberg is well-informed and has a much better ability to discern acting skills than he does.

I like Santa Fe's climate and architecture very much, but I don't like the dizzy feeling of a plateau city that makes people's minds a little dysfunctional.

Ronald soon returned to Los Angeles.

Minahan Golan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, made a special trip to pick him up at the airport.

"Ronald, you have to help me."

Ronald looked at the high-spirited Minahan. Since the success of "Break Dance", he has been in the limelight at many film festivals in Europe, especially Cannes. This year's Cannes was sponsored by large-scale advertising outside the venue. The local media sourly called the Cannes (es) Film Festival the Cannon (on) Film Festival.

"How can I help you?" Ronald decided not to make a low-budget exploitation film like Minahan's.

"I remember you were friends with Frank Zeffirelli? I wanted to ask him to make a film and come to Hollywood to make the Shakespeare opera film he wanted to make."

"Oh, that's okay." Ronald thought of the old Italian man who directed Brooke Shields' "Endless Love". He was disappointed with Hollywood and returned to Italy to direct operas. If his favorite opera could be brought to the screen, he would definitely not refuse it.

"It's great. I'm afraid I won't be able to hire him. He is a true master and a classic."

Ronald curled his lips. Minahan always had an inexplicable bias towards Hollywood. He didn't know that although Zeffirelli was famous in the opera world, if Hollywood could give him money, he would definitely fly from Italy immediately.

"This is our new strategy, to sign those big directors who have been famous in Hollywood in the past. Only in this way can we be respected in the overseas market." Minahan dragged Ronald to Cannon Pictures and took a mysterious look. A napkin.

"What is this?" Ronald saw another napkin with writing on it.

"This is an agreement signed by Jean-Luc Godard, the famous director of the French New Wave, to make Shakespeare's classic film for Cannon."

After carefully admiring the agreement written on the napkin, Ronald suddenly understood Minahan a little bit. This immigrant from Israel must constantly invite famous directors to create films, so that more films can be pre-sold in overseas markets like Cannes.

Those movie buyers in Europe and the Third World are poorly informed. If you tell them that "Break Dance" was praised by First Lady Nancy, they will have no reaction.

But if you say you invited Jean-Luc Godard and Frank Zeffirelli to direct, those people will remember that all the great directors from ten and twenty years ago were conquered by you. You must be a Hollywood tycoon. .

This poor Israeli has still not been accepted by the mainstream of Hollywood, but he has achieved some fame in Europe.

"Don't worry, I'll call Zeffirelli when I get back. He will be very happy to have an artistic boss like you ask him to direct the movie he wants to make."

Ronald patted Minahan on the shoulder, "How are your other movies doing at the box office?"

"Gaga ga ga, very good. That movie that parodied Stallone sold better in Europe than his original Rambo 2." Minahan Golan smiled happily.

"The film 'Runaway Train' directed by Goncharowski that you introduced was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor and is also expected to be nominated for an Oscar."

"Congratulations!"

Ronald feels that Minahan has finally come to the end of his hardships. He has achieved success at the box office and awards. Maybe next year, executives from the other seven major studios will invite him to play golf.
