Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Diane quickly wrapped up several days of filming for her part in "The Monster in Chinatown." After staying with Ronald for a few days, Diane flew to Tokyo to pick up new commercials.

In Dongying, the movie "Street of Rage" starring Diane is still showing in theaters for a long time, and the video tape is also selling very well. Her appearance in "Streets of Rage" was also drawn by cartoonist Ishiguro Sheng into his own manga adaptation ova animation "Wireless Zone 23".

Coupled with the admiration of cartoonist Osamu Tezuka, Diane is now extremely popular among young people in Japan, and can be regarded as the number one beautiful girl idol in America. Even her diamond jewelry and Max Factor's cosmetics advertisements were also well received.

The so-called West is not bright and the East is bright. This time Diane went to Tokyo, and one of the three major local media, the Asahi Shimbun, interviewed him. Ronald even joked and asked her to start learning some Japanese so that she could go to Japan to make movies in the future.

After sending off Diane Lane, Ronald picked up Kelly McGillis.

Her new work flopped on Broadway. Unlike movies, it often takes half a year to a year to see whether the film is successful or not. Whether a new Broadway play is a success or failure is a matter of a week after its release.

McGillis's new work was eliminated by off-Broadway after a week. She didn't want to go to off-Broadway to perform again, so she simply resigned and gave up the chance to the b-corner, so she came to Hollywood to watch the trial screening of the modified version of "Top Gun".

McGillis could have a drink or two, and they stayed in the hotel without going downstairs. Ronald brought half a case of red wine from Coppola Winery, and the two slept in the executive suite for two days

McGillis's legs are not too long, but she is actually a traditional American woman's figure. However, she is very good at using clothing to cover up her shortcomings and highlight her advantages.

On the queen size bed, McGillis' white and tender toes slowly rubbed Ronald's legs.

"I feel better, the Broadway failure was like a sledgehammer, and it hit me very hard."

"Don't go to Broadway. After Top Gun is released, you will become a female star sought after by thousands of people. At that time, your movie script will be softened."

Ronald is well aware of the benefits a blockbuster movie can do to a lead character. The "Longwei Boy" he directed before brought Elizabeth Sue and Ralph Mazio countless hits.

Ralph Mazio even went to shoot a movie that uses electric guitars to fight against people. Hollywood producers used the impression Daniel's role gave to the audience, and turned the karate in Long Wei Kid into the whole transfer. Became a guitarist in a rock band, and made a movie tailored for him.

If Elizabeth Sue hadn't made a mistake,

To go to Harvard, to give up a useless degree to continue working in Hollywood. I'm afraid I can also receive one or two big-produced heroines. If she's lucky enough to land another blockbuster movie, she'll set the trend, like John Hughes' muse, Molly Ringwald.

It is said that Ringwald will cost her $2,000 for a short hairstyle. It can also attract teenage girls all over the country to start dyeing their hair red.

"Hahaha, you are really interesting. I like how confident you are." McGillis obviously didn't believe that this popcorn movie could help his acting career. She leaned forward again, hugging Ronald tightly.

"Don't you believe me? When the time comes, I will let you experience the power of my sledgehammer." Ronald hugged her.

"Why don't you let me experience your sledgehammer now." McGillis winked like silk, and now she desperately needs the comfort of a handsome man.

The TV in the living room happened to be playing Coppola's masterpiece "The Godfather", and the old man at the opening wedding was singing the famous folk song "C"e la luna mezz" in Italian. "o mare)"

"Mom, I must get married...

My daughter, who can I find for you?

Mom, I let you decide...

If I get you the shoemaker, he'll come with his hammer...

If he likes him, he'll keep hammering you..."

In the evening, McGillis took a shower, put on his white shirt and wanted to drink.

"Stop watching TV, let's go to the bar below."

"It is reported that the President will postpone the State of the Union address on TV..."

With a snap, McGillis turned off the TV with the remote control, and dragged Ronald to the bar below the hotel.

"Cheers!" Both of them ordered a big glass of beer, and then drank it to replenish their energy.

The bartender at the bar came over and presented two cocktails, "I'm sorry, can you please keep your voice down, many guests are not in a good mood today."

"What kind of bar do you still open?" McGillis became dissatisfied.

Ronald put a few banknotes on the table, asked the bartender to buy a bottle of Scotch, and went back to the hotel room to drink.

McGillis's hair was wet, and he was wearing a white bathrobe that he had put on after the shower. He and Ronald were drinking and kissing slowly while holding a wine glass.

...

After noon the next day, the two woke up groggy from the bed.

"It's a mistake to drink." Ronald looked at his watch, took a shower, put on his suit, and then shook McGillis awake. "Hurry up, it's almost time for the screening."

"You zip the back for me." McGillis also took a shower, put on a dress, and the two went to the lobby hand in hand.

...

In a large theater in West Hollywood, audiences who came to test screenings are entering the arena.

"Don, Jerry," Ronald greeted the two producers.

"Hello, Ronald. Hello, Kelly." The four hugged each other.

"Today's trial screening was selected by the theater through phone surveys, unlike last time when Tang specially selected it. We can better observe the audience's reaction today."

Bruckheimer took Ronald to explain today's trial screening arrangement.

"Kelly... hey, hey..." Don Simpson smiled at McGillis, alluding to her and Ronald's seemingly close relationship.

"Heh heh," McGillis played goofy, and greeted the crew's two supporting actors, Barry Tabb, who played "Wolfman," and Rick Rossovich, who played "Slider."

"Tom," Ronald hugged Tom Cruise, who also came to the test screening, and behind him was the inseparable Paula Wagner. He just wrapped filming Scorsese-directed "The Color of Money" in Chicago.

In today's preview, the actors were basically present, except for Fang Kilmer, who is in direct competition with Tom Cruise. The two not only compete for the position of Hollywood male stars, but also directly compete with Xueer, who is a singer and movie star, so the relationship is very bad, and basically one party will not appear where the other party appears.

Eight months have passed since the filming, and two months have passed since the re-shooting. This time, everyone is called here to give them a chance to familiarize themselves with the film shot last year and warm up the upcoming marketing activities.

None of these actors have seen the finished film on the big screen. This time, he was given a chance to watch the movie in its entirety, in case he couldn't answer the reporters' questions when doing marketing. Most of them have already made another film or two, and a lot of the "Top Gun" plot has been forgotten.

"Boom...boom..."

The first white font that appeared on the pitch-black screen, produced by Paramount. A chime reminded me that this was the theme song of "Top Gun".

"Don Simpson/Bruckheimer Presents"

The second line of subtitles is for the two producers.

"a ronald v lee film"

On the third line of subtitles it was Ronald's turn.

He has worked hard in Hollywood for many years and has continued to make profitable and popular movies. Ronald is already a very useful director in the hearts of the studio's top executives. That's why he was given the honor.

So-and-so's work, generally awarded to the carte blanche who dominated the artistic aspects of the film. Many directors who come to shoot movies with mercenaries are not eligible to sign their works. Because in terms of art, they often have to listen to the producer.

Only directors like Ronald who have been deeply involved in all aspects of the film, such as casting, shooting, editing, and soundtracking, are eligible. With this power, basically he is also qualified to be a producer leading projects shot by other directors in the future.

"Tom Cruise"

"Kelly McGillis"

The next two lines of subtitles belong to the male and female protagonists. Their names appear before the title of the film, which is the treatment only Hollywood stars can enjoy.

In the golden age of Hollywood, this was called an online byline. In the future, on the movie poster, the names of the two leading actors, together with Ronald, will appear above the title "top gun".

ronald lee works

Tom Cruise Kelly McGillis

top gun

At that time, the header of the poster will probably have such a configuration.

"On March 2, 1969, the Navy opened a flight school for elite fighter pilots..."

Under the background music of the theme song, the white subtitles explain the origin of Miramar Pilot School.

"Today, the Navy calls it the Fighter Weapons School...

And pilots call it...

top gun! "

A line of large characters appeared on the screen.

All the actors started to applaud.

With this line of words, the black on the screen disappeared, and the deck of the aircraft carrier before sunrise appeared.

An F-14 Tomcat fighter jet lay there quietly, with several deck sergeants walking around.

The rhythm of the Dang Dang bell is getting faster and faster, white steam drifts across, and the pitot tube of another Tomcat aircraft, like a needle, pierces the left side of the screen.

"Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards, Tim Robbins, and the rest of the names gradually came to the screen.

Val Kilmer is in a single row, and the rest are in a double row, or a triple row.

The size, time, and location of these subtitles are all a naked display of the power of the participants in a movie.

Meg Ryan, was the last major cast member to appear in the film's opening credits. Then some major specialists, casting directors, editors, scores, heads of various departments gradually emerge on screen.

Director of Photography, Kimball. The last department head is the director of photography.

Producers, Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer. The names of the two partners appeared on the screen again.

The flame shield goes up, the F-14 Tomcat begins to slide into ejection position, a puff of white steam rises.

On the left and right, the afterburners of the two Pratt \u0026 Whitney fighter engines were turned on in turn, and orange flames were sprayed backwards.

"boom!"

The nose gear of the Tomcat fumbles, and the catapult accelerates the aircraft to takeoff speed and glides forward quickly.

The music changed accordingly, from the slow and classical theme song to the rock rhythm "Danger Zone"

The flames from the two engines brought out the last subtitle of the opening.

"Director, Ronald v Lee"

"Oh, oh", several actors cheered and began to applaud.

This series of opening scenes has a coherent rhythm and a very powerful connection.

Satisfied, Ronald leaned back and looked at the audience around him.

"Huh? They don't seem as excited as the actors?"

It doesn't matter, the next thing is an air combat scene, I guarantee you will enjoy watching it.
