Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Why don't we find a quiet place to talk?" Ronald didn't want to see Meg Tilley, which was a particularly uncomfortable experience in his youth.

"How about going to my trailer somewhere quiet," Annette Bening said with a shy expression, "You are such a brave person, but I happen to be out of action all morning. You can try the hot dog buns I made. , I have an electric stove in the trailer for heating, and I can put freshly cooked sausages in it.”

"Uh..." Ronald remembered that Bening had boasted about being a chef on a yacht, which was actually putting sausages into bread and making hot dogs. It doesn't taste as good as the sandwich you made yourself. Wait, what Annette said...

Annette Bening took Ronald's arm and pressed her whole body against him. Her clothes were very thin and her eyes were full of spring.

"Ah..." Ronald felt that this was too bold. He wanted to pull his arm out, but it took two attempts to prevent it from twitching. He only felt Bening getting closer and closer.

Ronald managed to struggle twice. It was all because the costumes chosen by director Milos Forman were too realistic. Bening's elegant swan-like neck kept swaying in front of his eyes, and a pleasant smell of perfume went straight to his nose. Drilling inside, Ronald only felt that his willpower was getting weaker and weaker...

At this moment, there was a burst of noise from the direction where director Milos Forman left, and he vaguely seemed to hear his yelling, mixed with several screams of young men and women.

Ronald glanced at Bening. Milos Forman was nearly sixty years old. Wouldn't anything happen to him?

The two of them ran quickly towards a long corridor in the Palace of Versailles. Just after they passed the corner, they heard a man's roar. The sound was pitiful and sharp, like a wild beast being shot by a hunter and letting out a desperate roar of death. .

"You two adulterers and whores... I'm going to kill you..." Then there was a plop, like the sound of a person falling to the ground.

"Ah..." The two men and women screamed loudly, as if mixed with Milos Forman's voice.

Ronald was startled and quickly speeded up. Bening seemed to recognize the owner of the male and female voices. He also picked up his costume and skirt and hurried after him.

When they rounded the corner, they saw Meg Tilly in period costume, still screaming loudly, "Ah...ah...", while screaming and hiding to the side.

Next to her is a man with curly hair, handsome appearance, and the temperament of a classic British gentleman. He was also hiding behind, while still reaching out to protect Meg Tilly.

Milos Forman stood in front of them, as if to separate them from the man who was shouting to catch the rapist.

"Tim, don't get excited..."

Ronald came closer and saw that lying on the ground was a middle-aged man, about forty years old. His hair was very thin, and the hairline receded behind the line connecting his ears. A few steps away, there was a piece of wig lying crookedly on the ground.

"Yo... isn't this Meg Tilley's husband, producer Tim Zinneman?" Ronald thought to himself, and he recognized little Zinneman lying on the ground in a very embarrassed state.

If Ronald still has some complicated feelings about Meg Tilly, after all, he borrowed her life experience and wrote it into the script. He also expressed his feelings for Little Kinney, the son of the great Hollywood director Fred Zinnemann. Manquan didn't like him at all.

Back then, he also had an interest in the young Diane Lane, and the two had a head-on conflict at Jane Fonda's home.

"Don't worry, I'll help you up..." Ronald stepped forward to help little Zinnemann.

"You? Ronald, do you have a share?" Zinnemann didn't want to be helped up by Ronald. He supported the ground with his hands and stood up slowly. I was so excited just now that I stumbled on my feet. I was so angry that I fell to the ground, my hands and knees were broken.

"What's my fault? Are you crazy?" Ronald immediately jumped away when he saw this, and then said don't talk nonsense.

"Tim..." Milos Forman stepped forward and scolded little Zinnemann, "Your father and I are old acquaintances, please stop making noise here."

The once great director Fred Zinnemann has retired for five years. In the early 1980s, Zinnemann's films still had a few hits. After that, he made more and more films and lost money. Now, no one cares about them. the point.

But he keeps a very close eye on his wife, Meg Tilly, and is a typical control freak.

The last time Meg Tilley was chosen by Milos Forman to be the heroine of "The Life of Mozart", he had been closely monitoring her. The actor who played the supporting actor started to make trouble in front of him, saying that Meg Tilley was different from the actress. Mozart's actor had an affair.

In the end, he believed the rumors and went to the set to beat up the actor. That's when Milos Forman was unhappy. Had it not been for Meg Tilley's accidental injury, this conflict would have erupted four years ago.

After that, Meg Tilly had a bad time and had no good roles. Little Zinnemann even had a child with her, hoping to use the child to tie up his wife.

But this ambitious girl cannot be restrained by these at all. Meg Tilly still returned to filming, and won a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress and an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a movie about a nun's pregnancy.

After that, the two had a second child, and Meg Tilly proposed to come back again. Little Zinnemann seemed to feel that the two children no longer had to supervise his wife, so he let her and the familiar director Milos Forman Filming can also be considered as compensation for her regret of missing out on the blockbuster "Mozart".

Who knew that as soon as I relaxed, something would go wrong...

"You..." Little Zinnemann is essentially a person who likes the new and dislikes the old, and is very controlling. His first two wives, plus Tilly, were each ten years younger. He suffocates his wife every time. But when he gets old and loses sex, he divorces and abandons her without hesitation.

He did a good job with his finances, hiding his property as much as the prenuptial agreement.

But what he miscalculated this time was that his third wife, Meg Tilly, who was twenty years his junior, actually took the lead and hooked up with the leading actor in the movie, Colin Firth, who played Count Valmont. .

Little Zinnemann, who had just come to the Versailles Palace to secretly spy on his wife, actually saw Meg Tilly and Colin Firth talking to each other about their life plans, how they wanted to divorce him and take him with them. Two kids go and stuff like that. They hugged and kissed each other while talking. It was definitely not a rehearsal for the art of film.

This made him very surprised and very angry. The female star he had always dumped was actually kept in the dark this time and really cheated on her. I really can't believe any of these actresses.

In public, he failed to catch the adulterer, but instead suffered humiliation. Little Zinnemann's face turned red and he said through gritted teeth to Meg Tilly, "Prepare for divorce proceedings."

Then little Zinnemann looked at everyone present with a rather vicious look in his eyes, then turned around and left. It seems that he has already made Milos Forman and Ronald jealous.

"Don't forget your wig..."

Ronald shouted.

Little Zinnemann received another heavy blow, staggered, and almost fell again.

"Pfft..." Annette Bening, who was next to her, saw a live drama and couldn't help it any longer, covering her mouth and laughing secretly.

This laugh was very insulting. Meg Tilly competed with Bening for the actress' seat on the set, and they had many overt and covert fights. Now her unbearable past was revealed to her again. And opposite Bening, there was Ronald, whom he least wanted to see.

Back then, I was fighting for the chance to be an actor, and now he saw such an uncomfortable scene. So he covered his face in shame and anger and ran quickly in the other direction.

"Sorry, Director Li, it's nice to meet you. I mean, I'm sorry to meet you under such circumstances... I'll go see Meg first..."

The young British actor who played Valmont said a few words to Ronald in a typical British accent, then turned back and hurried after Meg Tilly.

"This woman still hasn't figured out what she wants..." Ronald shook his head.

Back then, Meg Tilly left Ronald to pursue better opportunities in Los Angeles for the sake of her career as an actress. Then marrying little Zinnemann, who is twenty years older than herself, it is difficult to say whether there is any intention to take shortcuts.

But one's choice is unlikely to have the best of both worlds. She chose little Zinnemann who coveted her beauty. With career benefits, Meg Tilly began to look forward to pure love again. She was on the set, flirting with Colin Firth, and they had great chemistry.

After entering the drama, both parties discovered that this good feeling actually extended to real life. The two of them were looking forward to love, but they naively believed that true love could conquer everything, and secretly fell in love on the set.

Today, they couldn't bear their temper, so they found a quiet place and began to talk to each other. Who would have thought that...

"Richard..." Ronald turned back to his agent. He always knew where he should be at the right time.

"I need you to arrange it, little Zinnemann. I understand that this is a pure villain. He is definitely going to cause trouble in Hollywood, and I don't want my name to appear in any reports about this scandal."

Ronald whispered in his ear.

As soon as he turned around, he found that Annette Bening was stretching her ears hard, trying to eavesdrop. Bening, who only heard the words gossip and scandal, suddenly thought of something and his face turned pale.

If the gossip media exposes this matter, I won't be able to escape. If someone adds fuel to the fire, then I will... American audiences are not very tolerant of rumors that interfere with other couples' marriages.

"Don't let Ms. Bening be innocently implicated," Ronald saw her expression and turned around to give Richard more instructions.

"Oh..." The expression on Annette Bening's face suddenly improved a lot.

Milos Forman shrugged. He didn't care. This kind of thing has never been seen on the set, and I have seen it eighty times. Moreover, he is a two-time Oscar winner for Best Director, and his age and the person involved are not of the same generation. It can be said that even if he is reported by the gossip media, he will not be involved.

Besides, when the movie was being filmed, such a high-profile scandal broke out, which was a good thing for the marketing of the movie. "The two protagonists are too deeply involved in the drama, and they are pretending to be real..."

Ronald understood the meaning and nodded. He couldn't control this kind of thing. He turned to Richard and said, "Please help me do this. If necessary, I can call Mr. Ovitz." , in short, be more cautious.”

"No need, Niceta and I can handle this matter very safely..." Richard knew that he could provide more value, which was the basis for securing this meal ticket. If the two of them couldn't handle this kind of thing and had to ask Ovitz for help, then Ronald, the client, wouldn't be theirs for long.

Annette Bening pulled Ronald into her trailer and was about to satisfy Ronald. It was all thanks to Ronald's kindness that he was able to hitchhike and avoid a disaster. As for how much he still has for himself, no one knows, so he might as well take the opportunity to top up some.

"Annette, it doesn't have to be like this. I can make you a promise. You and I have the greatest protection in this matter." After this farce, Ronald felt a little tired mentally and lost interest.

"Don't you like my outfit? I also have modern outfits here." Bening was frightened, thinking that Ronald was going to throw himself out as a scapegoat, so he immediately opened the small clothes box in the trailer, Taking out a set of sexy underwear and professional women's clothing, he had to go the extra mile to please Ronald.

"No, no, I didn't mean that..." Ronald thought to himself, why wouldn't it be wrong not to eat?

"Do you think I am a very opportunistic woman who likes to manipulate men?" Annette Bening covered her face and began to sob softly.

"I wasted too much time with my ex-husband and Broadway. I am already twenty-nine this year..."

"Hey..." Ronald had a little more understanding of Bening. Usually Hollywood actresses debut in their teens, so there are various obstacles. When I reached Bening's age, I realized that I had been entrusted to someone else. If I wanted to start working hard in Hollywood again, there would be many difficulties to overcome. So she wants to seize every opportunity.

Annette Bening thought Ronald had agreed, and immediately put her hands around Ronald's waist to prevent him from leaving. Then she stretched out a hand to fumble in front of her, "My dear, it's not convenient for me to be on the set right now. Wait for me." After the filming is over, I can do whatever you want with me when I go back to Los Angeles. Um... um..."

…

"Do you think this script is poisonous?" Ronald felt very funny as he held Bening in his arms.

In two film adaptations of the play "Dangerous Liaisons", the two pairs of actors who played the dandy Valmont and the virginal Madame de Tourville both had affairs.

And one is a beautiful Hollywood beauty who falls in love with an average-looking male protagonist, and the other is a handsome and handsome boy who falls in love with the mother of two children who are still married. Under normal circumstances, this is an incredible combination, and it is basically impossible to happen.

Could it be that this script was really written by the devil and is it poisonous from the wisdom fruit?

"No, I think they are too involved. This play is originally an extremely emotional scene about a prodigal son returning to the sea and a virgin going to sea. Director Forman also attaches great importance to the performance quality of the play. We often rehearse and experience it repeatedly." Bening The fear in my heart was reduced a lot by Ronald's behavioral commitment.

She has been acting on Broadway all year round and is well aware of the drama of this kind of abnormal love. If she doesn't get to go home and spend time with her lover every day, it will be easy to get sucked into the situation and not be able to distinguish between drama and reality. Filming in Los Angeles, where you go home to reunite with your family every day; and filming in a foreign country, where there are not many people speaking English in sight. The impact of the two environments on people is very different.

"That's right..." Ronald thought, it was better to stay away from this kind of drama.

…

"Quickly, tell me more about your trip to Paris and that lady. How is she now? Do you remember you?"

A few days later, Ronald, who returned to London to rest, was invited to his home by Elton John. He invited Ronald to dinner, eager to know how this romantic act would end.

Although the home-cooked food in London is not delicious, the level of chefs in Britain is still very high. Elton John's chef can cook Chinese and Latin dishes.

Ronald tasted it very happily, and he briefly said what he could, which actually caused Elton John to sigh.

"Hey, two people who love each other must make sacrifices for the relationship, otherwise they will have no choice but to part ways..."

He sat down in front of the piano, started playing, and then started singing in his thick singing voice:

"...

And this is not a sacrifice,

Just simple words,

Two hearts living in their own worlds,

…

This is not a sacrifice at all

mutual misunderstanding afterwards

The more sensitive the feelings, eventually

only in the last scene

build a prison

…”

"What do you think?" Elton John was very satisfied with his outpouring of inspiration. He wrote down the lyrics and melody he just heard from Ronald's story on a white paper.

"It sounds very nice. What's the name of this song?" Ronald heard that there were no sentences in the lyrics that could be associated with him. They were all about two young lovers who need to make sacrifices for their relationship.

"How about calling it a sacrifice?" Elton asked, emerging from behind the piano.

"Sounds good to me..."
