Exploiting Hollywood 1980

At JFK Airport in New York, as soon as Diane Lane came out of the boarding gate, she saw Ronald waiting for him at the door. \u003c/p\u003e

"Ronald!" When Diane saw Ronald, she immediately ran over, her eyes shining, and she quickly pulled his arm. \u003c/p\u003e

"Are you tired? I've booked a room at the Peninsula Hotel for you. You can live there or my new apartment if you want."\u003c/p\u003e

"I made an agreement with Donna to stay at her place and leave it alone."\u003c/p\u003e

"Haha, that's fine, she lives in the old apartment above the leg warmer store in Midtown now."\u003c/p\u003e

After putting the luggage in Ronald's car, Diane happily got in, "Why did you let me come to the premiere with you? What is the story of this movie? Is it good?"\u003c/ p\u003e

"A story about the last emperor of China. He became emperor at the age of three. He was restored to power several times, then abdicated, and finally became an ordinary citizen."\u003c/p\u003e

Ronald talked about the story of "The Last Emperor" with Diane. For this premiere, Ronald had to find a female companion to go with him to show that he valued her. After all, there was a deputy minister present there. \u003c/p\u003e

Helen Slater, who was originally in New York, was busy raising funds for her new film. Ronald was late for the appointment; she had already gone to New Jersey to find a potential investor. \u003c/p\u003e

It happened that Diane was very free recently, so Ronald called her back from Los Angeles with a phone call. Let her stay with you for a few days. \u003c/p\u003e

Diane has been in bad luck recently. The new film "The Running Man" starring her and Schwarzenegger, after more than half a year of reshoots and editing by the director, was finally cut into a movie. The complete film was released to the audience last week. \u003c/p\u003e

This action film was criticized by critics as a big-budget commercial film using the camera and lighting of a live TV talk show. \u003c/p\u003e

Director Paul Michael Glaser was widely regarded as a poor choice. He can only make TV series, not movies. The now popular action star Schwarzenegger was filmed as a silly TV guest. The former young beauty Diane Lane was filmed as a background audience at the TV station. \u003c/p\u003e

Distributor Samsung Pictures gave up completely after seeing the finished film.

A $27 million big production that didn’t even have a decent premiere. It was screened in more than 1,600 theaters during the first weekend, but in the end it only took in US$8 million. The average box office per theater was not as good as "Fatal Attraction" which had been in theaters for ten weeks, and only just surpassed Disney's re-release of the 1950 animated film "Cinderella" ". \u003c/p\u003e

Diane had been depressed at home for a long time. She didn't know what was going on. It seemed that after starring in three of Coppola's movies in a row, all her good luck had been exhausted. No matter what movie you make, it always hits the box office. \u003c/p\u003e

She was very happy to receive Ronald's phone invitation. She immediately packed her clothes and bought a plane ticket to fly over. \u003c/p\u003e

When they arrived at Donna's apartment, Ronald still had the key. When he entered, he found that Donna was there. \u003c/p\u003e

"Hey, Diane, why are you here?" Donna hugged Diane happily and left Ronald aside. \u003c/p\u003e

"I'm here to attend the premiere of a foreign film with Ronnie."\u003c/p\u003e

"Okay, okay, what good clothes have you prepared?" Donna took her best friend's box and opened it. \u003c/p\u003e

Bang..., a bunch of clothes fell out, already wrinkled. Diane was busy catching a plane, so she didn't arrange her clothes, so she just put them in, closed the box and came. \u003c/p\u003e

"You are too anxious. I have actually prepared a ticket for the evening. You can come here with my agent Richard." Ronald smiled and helped her close the messy box. \u003c/p\u003e

"I have prepared two sets of dresses, one from Yves Saint Laurent and one from Armani. You can try them on later."\u003c/p\u003e

"Okay, I'll go with you." Donna was happy for her best friends. Regardless of the research she was doing on the computer, she put on her coat and went to Fifth Avenue with them. \u003c/p\u003e

Giving up the back seat to his sister and Diane, Ronald sat in the passenger seat, picked up the car phone, and started to contact the specialty store and dinner. \u003c/p\u003e

Arriving at the building where the apartment on Fifth Avenue is located, in the boutique on the ground floor, Diane picked out a set of YSL Saint Laurent clothes, which made her look a bit heroic. \u003c/p\u003e

The three of them went to the Japanese restaurant next to them and ate tuna specially flown in, as well as tempura made by a Japanese master chef flown in as well. \u003c/p\u003e

"Help Diane, she can't get good scripts now." During the middle of the meal, Diane went to the bathroom, and Donna said quietly to Ronald. \u003c/p\u003e

"It's strange. Diane is very beautiful, photogenic, and has acting skills. However, in recent years, she seems to have been unlucky. No matter what she shoots, she doesn't sell well. She has fallen into a vicious circle. The less popular she is, the less popular she is. If you can’t get a good script, the less good it is, the more it becomes box office poison.”\u003c/p\u003e

Ronald didn't know what was going on. Maybe celebrities, especially actresses, are a bit lucky. I also helped Diane find several opportunities, but the result was always a strange combination of circumstances, and there was always no work that made her successful. \u003c/p\u003e

"Ask your agent, they are the professionals. I think your agent's client development is very good. Tom Cruise is considered a big star now, and Diane's acting skills are better than his. You should have been stronger when you first debuted..."\u003c/p\u003e

"That's right too..." Ronald patted Donna's shoulder gently to express his gratitude. I really didn't think about it from this aspect. Diane's agent didn't seem to be very good. Now that I am very busy, I sometimes forget to take care of Diane. \u003c/p\u003e

Instead of using your own connections to find a good role for Diane, it would be better to find a good agent for her. \u003c/p\u003e

"What are you talking about?" Diane came back. \u003c/p\u003e

"Talk about your new clothes," Donna smiled happily. \u003c/p\u003e

……\u003c/p\u003e

"Richard, why don't you think Diane can get good roles?" In the evening, her agent Richard also arrived in New York, and Ronald chatted with him in detail in the bar below the apartment. \u003c/p\u003e

"She was unlucky. At the most critical moment, she went with the wrong director. Three consecutive films failed at the box office and were relegated to another film." Richard was very familiar with the situation of these stars and immediately gave the answer. \u003c/p\u003e

On the one hand, there are very few roles for young beauties in Hollywood, and the competition for female stars of this age is too fierce. There are probably only about 20 good movies with young female characters like this every year, but actresses from the age of 16 to 35 are focused on these roles. \u003c/p\u003e

On the other hand, Diane's agent didn't have a good long-term plan for her. Diane Lane started out as a child star, and she had no breakthrough female roles since then. Therefore, her salary was very low. When she was at her most popular, she could only earn less than 300,000 yuan per movie. \u003c/p\u003e

Therefore, the agent cannot regard Diane as a key client, but recommends her roles in movies that pay more. Diane is also very passionate about acting. She won't take on some obviously bad movies. \u003c/p\u003e

After going back and forth, in the end, William Morris' agent seemed to have lost hope in Diane and was not very interested in her career. She felt that her agent was not good enough, and it was taboo to change jobs within William Morris, so the quality and quantity of the opportunities Diane got were not ideal. \u003c/p\u003e

"That's it, can you take over her agency contract?"\u003c/p\u003e

Ronald looked at Richard. Anyway, he didn't have any suitable actor clients now, so it wouldn't be troublesome to help look after Diane. \u003c/p\u003e

"Are you sure you want me to take over? I thought you wouldn't let me represent the woman around you." Richard said bluntly to Ronald. \u003c/p\u003e

"Why?" Ronald didn't understand. \u003c/p\u003e

"I am your principal agent. What if Diane's interests conflict with yours?" Richard asked. \u003c/p\u003e

"How could there be a conflict?" Ronald didn't understand even more. \u003c/p\u003e

"Let me give an analogy, if you have a movie and you need an actress to be the protagonist. Let's say it's Diane. She wants to play. As her agent, I need to fight for her. But she may not be qualified for this role. Not the most suitable... Do you remember what happened to Paula?"\u003c/p\u003e

Ronald listened carefully for a while and understood what Richard meant. \u003c/p\u003e

It's actually very simple. As Ronald's agent, Richard has a certain influence on him. If he only serves one client, Ronald, then he must be working hard for the greatest success of the movie in the end. \u003c/p\u003e

If there are other actor clients, then for the actor's greatest success, even if they are not the most suitable person for the movie, they will try their best to recommend them. \u003c/p\u003e

Taking into account the interests of both Diane and Ronald may lead to an outcome in which no one achieves the best outcome in the end. \u003c/p\u003e

Ronald nodded, just like his other agent Paula Wagner did back then, Tom Cruise and herself, she must give priority to the best interests of Cruise. \u003c/p\u003e

In the same way, his other agent, Rick Niceta, is actually not suitable to be Diane's main agent. \u003c/p\u003e

"Does CAA have a suitable person who can take over her contract? I am willing to endorse Diane, she definitely has potential."\u003c/p\u003e

"Why do you choose the distant place over the near?" Richard smiled, "Isn't there a very suitable candidate?"\u003c/p\u003e

"Who?"\u003c/p\u003e

"We were talking about her just now."\u003c/p\u003e

"Paula?" Ronald touched his chin. This answer was both unexpected and reasonable. \u003c/p\u003e

At that time, she had a conflict of interest between herself and Tom Cruise, but now she is no longer her agent, and after so many years, Paula can be said to have been very dedicated to Cruise's career and helped him develop his career. Take care of things properly and move forward step by step. \u003c/p\u003e

"Paula Wagner is best at planning a star's long-term career. It's not that the current movie has the highest salary or she can get the highest commission, but that she finds the option that is most beneficial to the actor's long-term development.\u003c/p\u003e

If you are worried that she spends too much time on Tom Cruise, then just find an assistant agent for Diane who is usually busy with her affairs. In fact, Paula only needs to grasp the overall direction. CAA has signed multiple agents anyway. system. ”\u003c/p\u003e

Richard finished the wine in his glass and analyzed it slowly. \u003c/p\u003e

Ronald was very grateful. This was tantamount to pushing the ready-made commissions to the outside world. As an agent, Richard's ability and connections were second to none. Ronald's interests were put first in everything. In this industry, Here, Ronald felt very rare. \u003c/p\u003e

"Thank you, Richard. Our contract will be renewed soon. I think everything will remain unchanged." Ronald released his promise to renew the contract. \u003c/p\u003e

"Good luck to us moving forward..." Richard ordered another martini and toasted to Ronald. \u003c/p\u003e

……\u003c/p\u003e

The next day, through Niceta, Ronald found Paula Wagner on the set of "Cocktail" in Jamaica and expressed his hopes to Paula. \u003c/p\u003e

Paula Wagner was very happy. She lost Ronald, a big client. After focusing on Cruise, although her career and income increased rapidly, she lost a client of a big director, although she was still a client of her husband Niceta. , but for her who is so strong, she is always a little disappointed. \u003c/p\u003e

Now Ronald contacted her again and asked her to help represent his girlfriend Diane. This was a dream arrangement for her. \u003c/p\u003e

"I've actually wanted to say it for a long time. Diane's agent really doesn't know how to market Diane. She is the most 'ordinary' star in America. Anyone who sees her will think that Diane is their friend. ."\u003c/p\u003e

"Then how do you plan to plan her career?" Ronald asked. \u003c/p\u003e

"The competition for blockbusters is very fierce now. Even with your face, it will be difficult for Diane to rise to the top in one step. If you are willing to tailor-make a movie for her, let's talk about it."\u003c/p\u003e

"You have to find a suitable script. I can watch it slowly."\u003c/p\u003e

"The best way is to let her start with independent productions that are very popular now. Or TV station mini-series or TV movies. Those are different from ordinary TV series. They are shot in a movie way, which is very important for Diane's acting skills. It’s a bonus.”\u003c/p\u003e

Since Ronald's "Dirty Dancing" achieved great success at the box office, many small and medium-sized studios, as well as Wall Street capital, have begun to try this production method. \u003c/p\u003e

"Okay, it's you. I'll ask Diane to come to you." Ronald understood what Paula meant. TV movies and mini-series on TV stations are all well-made compared to TV series. Diane's acting skills can be used. You can also build a wave of familiarity among the TV audience. \u003c/p\u003e

"I think it's best for me to come to her. This is better." Paula Wagner had already made up her mind to package Diane well. Ronald recommended her and took the initiative to approach Diane on her behalf. Ann Lane's perception is very different. \u003c/p\u003e

When Diane was at a low ebb, a well-known agent took the initiative and restored her confidence. \u003c/p\u003e

……\u003c/p\u003e

"Diane, this is the court." Outside the door of Hall 1 of the Twin Theater, Ronald and Diane, wearing a new Saint Laurent dress, appeared together at the New York premiere of "The Last Emperor". \u003c/p\u003e

"Aha, hello, Diane, long time no see." Chao Li and Diane acted together in "Monsters in Chinatown". Although the movie did not do well at the box office, the relationship between the two was good. \u003c/p\u003e

"Let me introduce to you, this is John Long, who plays the adult last emperor. This is Joan, who plays the queen. She is from China. She has acted in Director Xie's movies before." Chaoli is very familiar with Chinese actors. . \u003c/p\u003e

"Hello, hello, hello." Ronald shook hands with several Chinese-American actors. \u003c/p\u003e

The two protagonists came to the premiere and were very excited. John Long is wearing a black suit. He is a very sophisticated actor who has the best of both the East and the West. Joan's English is a bit like Xujiahui's Xiao Long Bao, and she is a very typical Chinese. \u003c/p\u003e

The two leading actors were both excited and a little worried. They knew that Ronald was the director of several hit films, so having such a big shot come to the premiere of this foreign film surprised them, and their confidence in the film increased a lot. \u003c/p\u003e

The worry is that apart from Ronald and his beautiful female companion, no other insiders will attend the premiere. \u003c/p\u003e

There were only a few celebrities from New York in the audience to join in the fun. They were the kind of so-called "celebrities" who would go wherever there were reporters and come when they had the opportunity to appear. \u003c/p\u003e

"Hi, Ronald, I love your movie." Like this black model who was posted to insert herself into a few people's circles. Grace Jones is a typical celebrity. \u003c/p\u003e

Her skin is very dark. Unlike the black people in America, her skin is not that dark anymore and is more shiny. She is a black Jamaican who immigrated to New York when she was a teenager. She is different from all native blacks. \u003c/p\u003e

Grace Jones has a very square face, her skin is like black coal, and she wears weird clothes. But now the fashion industry recognizes her and says she is a real black African. In order to correct racial equality, she has been given many opportunities. \u003c/p\u003e

Ronald couldn't bear to see it. This black charcoal star was very different from his own aesthetic. After a few perfunctory words, he and Diane walked inside. \u003c/p\u003e

"Hey, I want to talk to Director Ronald a few more words," Joan said helplessly. \u003c/p\u003e

"What do you want to do? Don't forget that we are married. If you have any ideas, let me arrange it for you. I am your agent." A man, standing behind Joan, was very worried when he saw this scene look like. \u003c/p\u003e

"I'll go in first." John Long also rolled his eyes. Joan's husband and manager was very annoying. It seems like everyone wants to seduce his wife. He follows me through everything just to keep an eye on my wife. \u003c/p\u003e

"Jimmy, what are you doing? I'm here to expand social relationships. How can I find suitable opportunities like this?" Joan was so angry that after so many years in America, it was hard for a movie to reach mainstream theaters. Although her husband, Jimmy Lau, was a great help to her when she first came here, it is now becoming more and more difficult for her to breathe. \u003c/p\u003e

"If you want a better opportunity, I can help you. I am your agent." The husband and agent named Jimmy was still arguing. \u003c/p\u003e

"Okay, okay, I'm going to Hong Kong..." Joan threw her hands away angrily. She couldn't find any agent or role, so she could only hold herself back. \u003c/p\u003e

"Let me introduce to you, this is the British Minister of the Ministry of Culture." Chaoli continued to lead Ronald and Diane to the No. 1 screening room. \u003c/p\u003e

"Hello, nice to meet you, Mr. Minister." Ronald took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with a tall man with an elegant face. \u003c/p\u003e

"Hello, I have admired you for a long time. Director Xie from Xujiahui spoke very highly of you." Minister Ying spoke with a standard London accent and was very fluent in English. He spoke the same words as those whom Ronald met in China. English with a Chinese accent is very different. \u003c/p\u003e

"Director Xie told me that he likes your movies very much. I also want to get to know you. I heard that you can also read our Tang poetry?"\u003c/p\u003e

"Hahaha, I learned a little bit when I was in college. There are close friends in the sea, and there are neighbors in the world..." Ronald dropped a sentence. \u003c/p\u003e

"Ah... that's right, that's right. The actors and directors from China and the United States also admire each other. We are neighbors even though we are worlds apart..."\u003c/p\u003e

Minister Ying admired Ronald's Chinese studies and pulled him to sit next to him. \u003c/p\u003e

"I came here not only for the premiere of this important co-production film after the reform and opening up, but also for exchanges..."\u003c/p\u003e

Ronald listened for a while, feeling drowsy. \u003c/p\u003e

"Please enjoy the movie first, and we will talk about your views on the movie later."\u003c/p\u003e

"He is an actor in The Last Emperor?" Ronald Wenchaoli. \u003c/p\u003e

"Yes, he plays the last emperor's prison administrator, which is a very important role." Chaoli replied, "Now that I am an official, sometimes I can't help myself." After finishing speaking, Chaoli turned to the back, wearing glasses. The Chinese who looked a little reserved pursed his lips and winked secretly at Ronald. \u003c/p\u003e

Ronald took a look and saw that this person didn't look like an actor. Maybe he was from the delegation? He smiled at the delegation members. \u003c/p\u003e

Chao Li smiled, knowing that Ronald didn't understand and didn't know this person's role. So I talked to him about Minister Ying's strength, "Lao Ying is a real sibling of the last emperor, and he is of Manchu origin. His English is very good, he can act in Shakespeare's plays, and he once filmed the 'Marco Polo' TV series produced by Italian TV2 Kublai Khan in it."\u003c/p\u003e

"Really?" Ronald looked at this tall and thin man, and somehow he connected it with Kublai Khan, the Great Khan in history. \u003c/p\u003e

"Really, he is versatile. He also translated America's play 'Death of a Salesman', which was released in China. His father is a translator as famous as Qian Zhongshu."\u003c/p\u003e

"Oh, you really can't tell."\u003c/p\u003e

As Ronald and Chao Li chatted, the lights in the cinema began to dim. A red oriental seal appeared on the screen. \u003c/p\u003e

A burst of nice music sounded, as if the early sunshine had entered the room playfully, and the rhythm of the drums had an oriental charm. \u003c/p\u003e

The opening scene is when the last emperor was captured and began to recall his life in the interrogation room. When the Queen Mother, who had ruled China for decades, was about to die, at the age of three, he was found in the Forbidden City and confirmed as the next emperor. \u003c/p\u003e

"Is this the format of an epic film?" Ronald looked at the image quality at the beginning and came to understand the film. Director Bertolucci seems very ambitious. \u003c/p\u003e

Ronald became fond of this movie, which could compete with "Lawrence of Arabia." This kind of epic film is not easy to make, and it is a big test for the director and actors. \u003c/p\u003e

"Duang! Duang..." Several monks in red cassocks beat gongs and performed rituals when the Queen Mother passed away in the Forbidden City. \u003c/p\u003e

"Pfft..." Ronald almost laughed. Italians have many strange interpretations of China. From Ronald's understanding, China would not hold funerals like this. Although artistically, this treatment may make American audiences buy it. \u003c/p\u003e

The entire movie involves the life of the last emperor. At the end, when he was already very old, he returned to the Forbidden City where he ascended the throne as a child. From under the dragon throne, he took out the crickets he had hidden there when he was a child and showed them to the children next to him. The people outside are already tourists visiting the Forbidden City led by tour guides holding small flags. \u003c/p\u003e

"Wow, wow, wow..." Ronald began to applaud. The quality of this movie was very high and it was shot smoothly. Although there are many things that are not in line with the facts and Chinese customs, Ronald can understand why commercial movies are handled this way for the sake of box office. \u003c/p\u003e

In particular, the actors in it are all very good. An old beggar, a banner man, is particularly outstanding. He only has a short scene, but he is very impressive. There is also a soldier watching the city gate, which is also very interesting. The gatekeeper looks like a general in the photo. \u003c/p\u003e

"What does Director Luo think of this movie? Our support for co-productions is very strong. Spielberg's co-production in Xujiahui will also be released next month. Director Luo can also come to China if he has the opportunity. Shooting in China." Minister Ying came to chat with Ronald again. \u003c/p\u003e

"Of course, I will definitely go if I have the chance." Ronald feels that China also has certain requirements for co-productions. It must be an epic blockbuster, and his chances of being approved for a purely commercial film may not be very great. \u003c/p\u003e

"What do you think of the performance of our Chinese actors? Director Bertolucci is very satisfied with the Chinese actors. He said that at this cost, it is beyond imagination that such actors can participate."\u003c/p\u003e

"That's it, that's it. I think that old beggar is a very good actor. He should be a big star in China, right?" Ronald asked. \u003c/p\u003e

"Ah, he is from the Xujiahui Studio Actors Troupe and has acted in many good movies." Minister Ying was a little embarrassed. The man who played the role of the Eight Banners old man was called Li Wei. He used to be... a star. But from now on, I can only play supporting roles. Recently, Bertolucci saw Li Wei's movie and specifically asked about it, so he was seconded to play this small role. \u003c/p\u003e

These directors have very sharp eyesight, and they can spot good actors with just one shot. \u003c/p\u003e

Minister Ying had a new understanding of Ronald's artistic ability, "We recently held the Chinese Culture and Arts Festival in the New York City Metropolitan Area, and our traditional Chinese paintings, calligraphy and gardens have all received a very good response here."\u003c /p\u003e

"Aha, I like your gardens very much, and I also like your calligraphy. It's very similar to the modern art we have here."\u003c/p\u003e

"Director Luo loves Chinese art so much, can you condescend to serve as a member of our Chinese Art Festival Foundation? This foundation is to promote Chinese art here in America, hold some art exhibitions, and find some..."\u003c /p\u003e

"Hahaha, I'd love to. To tell you the truth, I'm also planning to build a Jiangnan-style mini garden in my new home."\u003c/p\u003e

"That's great. I'll report to the superiors when I get back and give you a formal letter of appointment."\u003c/p\u003e

Ronald and Minister Ying chatted and laughed. They both felt that the other party had a deep understanding of their country and they could continue to contact him in the future. \u003c/p\u003e

After the premiere, Ronald and Diane were ready to go back to dinner with Donna. Joan jumped at the chance to come up and continue chatting with Ronald. \u003c/p\u003e

"Director Ronald, do you like this movie?"\u003c/p\u003e

"I like it very much. Your performance in it is impressive."\u003c/p\u003e

"I also like your directorial works. I have watched Dirty Dancing several times. Do you have any advice for my development in Hollywood?" Joan is at home every day, watched by her husband Jimmy. Let her go out and socialize, so her thinking still has a deep domestic imprint. \u003c/p\u003e

"Advice? I can't give you any advice, but have you ever considered returning to China to act?" Ronald replied with a smile. \u003c/p\u003e

"Go back? Why? I finally got the opportunity to go abroad and came here."\u003c/p\u003e

"How many Chinese characters are there every year?" Ronald asked. Roles for young women are so scarce that even white actors like Diane don't have a chance. What's more, you are a Chinese. Apart from movies that specifically tell Chinese stories, what other movies would invite a Chinese to star? \u003c/p\u003e

"Is that so..." Joan seemed to have caught something. \u003c/p\u003e

"Joan, why did you come here without saying hello?" Her husband Jimmy Lau quickly came over, "Director Ronald, I am Joan's agent and husband. If you have any business matters, you can contact me through me. ." As he spoke, Jimmy also took out a business card. \u003c/p\u003e

"No, I'll take my leave first." Ronald smiled and walked out of the theater with Diane on his arm. \u003c/p\u003e

"What's wrong with him? This director is really proud of himself, Arrogant." Jimmy put the business card back, "Joan, I...hey why are you leaving...hey, hey...I'm talking to you."\u003c/p \u003e

After sending Diane back to where Donna lived, the three of them had dinner, and Diane proposed to sleep with Donna. \u003c/p\u003e

"I'll make it up to you tomorrow. Donna and I haven't seen each other for a long time, and I have something to say to him." Diane kissed Ronald on the mouth. \u003c/p\u003e

"No problem, Diane. I'll pick you up tomorrow and let's go somewhere together."\u003c/p\u003e

"I'm from New York, have you forgotten? I won't go there tomorrow, just to make it up to you..."\u003c/p\u003e

"Well..." Ronald kissed Diane and returned to the house on Fifth Avenue alone. \u003c/p\u003e

……\u003c/p\u003e

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong"... The next morning, Ronald heard the doorbell ringing. \u003c/p\u003e

"You're here so early?" Ronald saw Diane outside the door. \u003c/p\u003e

"I have good news for you, a new agent wants to sign me."\u003c/p\u003e

Diane was all smiles. This time she came to New York, her luck seemed to have improved. \u003c/p\u003e

"Oh, who is it? Which agent wants to sign you? Where is your original agent?" Ronald pretended not to know. \u003c/p\u003e

"It's the hottest Tom Cruise agent right now, Paula Wagner. She heard that my financial contract was about to expire and wanted to sign me..."\u003c/p\u003e

"That's a good thing. She's very good at creating stars. It seems like your good luck is coming."\u003c/p\u003e

"I'm leaving soon, so I'm going to make it up to you now. Later I'm going to fly to Jamaica as quickly as possible, where she is filming a new movie with Cruise. I'll go early in case she changes her mind."\u003c /p\u003e

"No way, she won't change her mind." When Ronald heard that Diane wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible, he thought that his and her short vacation had been ruined again, so he hurried back to look for it. \u003c/p\u003e

"You don't know, Ronnie. Maybe it's like this for a big director like you, but for a hopeless actor like me, with an agent like me offering him an olive branch, I don't want to have long nights and long dreams."\u003c/p\u003e

"Okay, but can you stay with me for one more day?" Ronald felt that he had done something stupid. He could just wait two days and let Paula contact Diane. \u003c/p\u003e

"You're the best, Ronnie." Diane kissed him expressively, "But this opportunity is very important to me. If I miss it, maybe I will really say goodbye to Hollywood."\u003c/p\u003e

Diane began to flatter Ronald in every possible way. After all, she had promised him to come and accompany him. \u003c/p\u003e

"Okay, then at least leave later, I will arrange the flight"\u003c/p\u003e

Seizing the time before parting, Ronald picked up Diane and held her tightly in his arms. Although Diane recently contacted Yoga, she seems to have lost some weight, but her figure seems to be in better shape. \u003c/p\u003e

"Well..." Diane made a muffled sound and responded enthusiastically. \u003c/p\u003e
