Exploiting Hollywood 1980

It takes a genius to remember the address of this website in one second: [ ] Fastest update! No ads!

Gilbert Cates, the chairman of the Investigative Committee, led the investigation process. He found many parties involved to inquire about the situation at the time, hoping to find an excuse acceptable to everyone and successfully end this farce.

But on the one hand, the gay gang believes that they have been discriminated against, and on the other hand, the old stars who stick to Hollywood are angry that they have ruined Hollywood classics. Both parties are already in a difficult position, and it is not easy to find a suitable scapegoat for both parties to accept.

Ronald didn't interfere much with Mr. Chairman's investigative enthusiasm. He also had a selfish desire to take over as the producer of the next Oscar. So Ronald only showed up during meetings and browsed Cates' various inquiry reports, only listening but not speaking.

Just like that, the investigation reached an impasse. Cates kept looking for people to talk to every day, but he couldn't find a reason acceptable to both parties. He was a little exhausted.

Ronald contacted several older Hollywood stars who issued public letters of opposition to listen to their thoughts. Be prepared to take action when Cates is out of action.

If you want to win an Oscar, you have to make friends. If you want to overthrow Ovitz's hegemony, you must have enough powerful stars on your side. This matter is a good opportunity to sell favors.

…

Woo...ga...

"Mr. Newman, this is really exciting."

Ronald climbs out of Paul Newman's race car wearing a leather jacket from "Top Gun" and his ancestral pilot's watch.

Newman was a racing fan. He and his first wife's child died suddenly due to drug abuse. After that, Newman's personality changed drastically. He founded a charity foundation and began to hold charity racing events to donate money to help young people who had gone astray.

Ronald owned a Ferrari himself, but it was sitting in Paul Newman's Chevrolet that gave him a sense of the true power of a professional racing driver. He stood up from the passenger seat, still feeling a little uncomfortable. Use your left hand to hold the car window to stand steady.

"Hahaha, you have some talent. Many people would vomit when they get on my car..." Paul Newman was still an old naughty boy and teased Ronald. "Your watch is very nice..."

"Ah, it's my grandfather. He was a fighter pilot in World War II. Unfortunately, he crashed in the Atlantic Ocean. I have never seen him. I only have one of his watches as a relic, which was passed down to my father by my grandmother." Rona De took off his pilot's watch and handed it to Newman.

"A very old style, you carefully preserved it, it is very precious..." In addition to being a racing fan, Newman is also a watch fan.

"Are you also a watch collector?" Ronald saw an old watch on his hand.

"My wife Joan gave it to me. I only wear the gift from her now..." Paul Newman took off the watch and handed it to Ronald.

A rare piece of Rolex Daytona. Ronald turned around and looked at it. There were words engraved by Newman's wife on it: "Drive slower..."

"I like you...Ronald. In fact, we just don't want anyone to use Hollywood's classic image to promote their views in the future, and they made Snow White too ugly..."

"I understand, Mr. Newman. We might as well be honest. Many female celebrities cannot tolerate the strike of makeup artists and hairstylists. What kind of investigation conclusion can you accept..."

After reaching Paul Newman's bottom line, Ronald changed his clothes and went with David Simkins to meet with Dane Steele, the president of Columbia.

"You like this movie script?" Dane Steele was greatly surprised. She put the script on the table and stared at Ronald, as if she wanted to figure out whether the other person was testing her.

"Yes, my script supervisor David convinced me that the film would be a box-office prospect if it got into the hands of a competent director, and that critics wouldn't have a bad word to say about a film with a baby in it. ." Ronald said frankly.

"I have studied your path to success, Ronald. The screenwriter of this movie is Amy Heckerling. I don't want to make you unhappy because of her. I also suppressed her production progress and did not give the green light." Dane Steele clicked on the cover of this play called "Look Who's Talking."

There are irreconcilable grievances between many stars in Hollywood. As a studio president, the most important thing is to understand these conflicts from agents. Otherwise, you are asking for trouble.

It's not uncommon for artists to dislike each other and ruin a good production. This is no longer the era when studios could suppress and force stars to work with their enemies.

"Haha, you've got it, Ms. Steele. I don't have any big grudges with Amy Heckerling. As a writer and director, I appreciate the abilities of this colleague. At that time, we were just two people who were just starting out in Hollywood. Young people are just competing for resources..."

Ronald's current status is no longer comparable to Amy Heckerling's. Some of the grievances of the past have been forgotten. The real bad guy, Tom Mount, has changed from the president of the Seventh Group to an independent producer who can only produce small productions and no longer poses a threat.

Anyway, the script Simkins recognized that this kind of genre film has a wide audience. After the project is approved, it can help his daydream to make money.

"Then I'll call her and ask her to come and thank you in person..." Dann Steele really understands the psychology of powerful men in Hollywood. This kind of competitor who looks past him will crawl in front of him. No one would reject the feeling that one's own destiny is decided by oneself.

"Amy...Long time no see..."

Ronald waited for Amy Heckerling, who had competed with him for the director's seat. We haven't seen each other for a few years. The beautiful director who used to be charming is now a bit dry, but she is still in good spirits.

"Mr. Li..." Heikelin originally came with the idea of ​​resisting being humiliated and fighting for this opportunity. Unexpectedly, what awaited her was Ronald's warm embrace.

"We have known each other for a long time, just call me Ronald."

After Amy Heckerling passed up the opportunity to be replaced in "Fast-paced Richmond High", Tom Mount gave her other opportunities, allowing her to direct "Johnny Dangerously", and "Johnny Dangerously". Crazy Vacation Adventures (;)" two movies.

These two films were neither moderate hits nor box-office hits, nor did they lose money. Critics also gave me average reviews. There are so many old movies in "Baby Lucky Star" that only my own movie fans can understand. Mad Vacation Adventures was a sequel movie that exhausted its box office potential and the series was discontinued.

After Tom Mount was kicked out of Universal, Heckerling had no one to take care of him, so after considering it, he married director Neil Yinselie. She got pregnant quickly and gave birth to a daughter seven months after getting married.

The script "Look Who's Talking" is a semi-autobiographical work written by Heikelin based on her anxiety when she was pregnant, fearing that the child would not have a father.

"So, this script is a collection of problems faced by many mothers in America today..." Amy Heckerling talked about her creative ideas for a long time. The more she talked about it, the smoother it became. Anyway, it was all about asking the sponsor. When investors explain creative content, if they meet an acquaintance and capable director, at least the other party can understand...

"Not bad, really good...Which star have you decided to invite to play the leading role?" Ronald flipped the script. Listening to Heikelin's explanation, she really didn't put down her craft during her time as a housewife. It is also a story adapted from her own experience, and many aspects of it resonate with female audiences.

"I wanted to hire John Travolta... but his price was too high..." As soon as Heckerling heard Ronald's question, he knew that the other party had the idea of ​​letting him direct. Suppressing her excitement, she named the star she was most optimistic about, and then glanced at Dane Steele, who refused her green light last year on the excuse that it was too expensive.

"Hmm..." Ronald shook his head inwardly. Heikelin had been away from the front lines of Hollywood for too long. John Travolta was a popular star when she was active in Hollywood. But since he played the sequel to Stallone's "Saturday Night Fever", he received numerous bad reviews and the audience didn't buy it. He has disappeared from Hollywood for a long time.

If he plays the leading role, it is impossible for the audience to enter the cinema because of this name.

"Are there any other candidates? For example, the heroine?" Ronald asked.

"Kirstie Alley, I have always been very optimistic about her acting skills...it also suits the character of the protagonist..." Amy Heckerling thought Ronald was optimistic about his casting, and immediately began to work hard to sell her. The heroine, she really looks like herself when she was young.

Ronald raised his hand to stop Heckerling from continuing. His fingers tapped rhythmically on Dan Steele's desk, and then he said, "Travolta doesn't have enough star status. You have to find a bigger name. Ask Bruce Willis if he is interested. If not, then choose another male star, or replace the heroine with a star... If there is a suitable candidate, I will invest in your project. …”

"Huh?" Amy Heckerling was stunned. Was it because she disliked her small appetite? Why is it so pie-in-the-sky?

"Columbia will also inject an equal amount of capital and then be responsible for the issuance..." Dan Steele immediately took over. As long as Ronald is interested in a movie and she invests in it, it's absolutely safe.

Amy Heckerling, who was so happy that she almost cried, quickly contacted Bruce Willis' agent. Ronald went to watch the horse races again with Gregory Peck.

"Actually, I have always wanted to act in a western, but they all thought I was more suitable to act as an intellectual..." Pike once owned two racehorses and participated in all-California competitions, but unfortunately he failed to win the championship. However, horse racing became his lifelong passion.

"It's a pity that no one is willing to invest in western movies now..." Ronald also expressed regret.

"I have lived my whole life in accordance with the requirements of public intellectuals, but I am not extreme. I opposed the Vietnam War, but when my son went to fight in Vietnam, I supported his decision. I opposed discrimination against Jews, Chinese, and blacks. But you can't destroy the foundation of Hollywood just because of your own group...

I have been a liberal all my life and support the Donkey Party, but I also have good conservative friends like the Mayor of Paris, Jacques.

My bottom line is, Alan Carr must be removed from the Oscars. It can no longer be associated with this award, and gay gangs cannot use this method of kidnapping to gain support. They don't even dare to speak openly and openly about their demands, they are really a bunch of rats..."

"This can be done..."

Ronald found out the bottom line of another key figure in the opposition and knew it well. In addition to his personal style of doing things, Gregory Peck also served as president and chairman of the Academy of Motion Picture Technology and Arts.

This kind of wanton destruction of the reputation of the Academy Awards is a huge offense to the reputation of the academy where he once worked.

The two stopped talking about this disappointing thing, and instead talked about the past when they went to the other side of the Pacific together. I couldn't help but feel very happy when I learned that Yimou, the best actor at the Tokyo Film Festival who I personally presented the award to, later also won the West Berlin Golden Bear as a director.

"Let me tell you, Ronald. The people there have the temperament of painters and the ability to tell stories. They are a group of people who are most suitable for movies..."

"I know you are very popular there. They all love the image you have created with a sense of justice. If there is a chance, they will definitely invite you to be the leading actor in their movie..."

A burst of flattery made Gregory Peck very comfortable. His health was not as good as that of Paul Newman, and having an acquaintance over to talk about the glorious past was a great boost to his mental state.

…

"Now it is clear that the stars who signed the open letter have drawn a bottom line. You must disappear from the Oscars, Ellen..."

A few days later, when the Investigative Committee summoned Alan Carr, Ronald bypassed Chairman Cates and directly made conditions for the withered perpetrator.

"I...I know..." Alan Carr frowned, having long accepted this cruel fact.

"The question is, what method of condemnation should we take against you..." Cates glanced at Ronald and raised the biggest question. What kind of charge can be put on him so that everyone will be satisfied, and then the real reason why this cannot be mentioned publicly can be brought to Hu?

"I think we can blame it on technical reasons...can you accept that?" Ronald threw out his own plan to technically blame Alan Carr.

"This..." Alan Carr's ashen face finally showed an expression of fear. This makes him feel even more uncomfortable than admitting that he stuffed his stuff with private goods.

If the ratings drop is due to technical reasons and the public is outraged, it would be tantamount to a professional death sentence for him.

I couldn't even arrange a song and dance performance for the Oscars, so I said goodbye to Hollywood from now on. Once this reputation falls on him, who dares to invest in his movies? Who dares to accept his investment?

"Or would you rather confess the real reason to the public?" Ronald pressed.

He also communicated with David Geffen that the bottom line of their gay gang is that this time they cannot expose their true intentions to the public.

It can be said that this attempt to test the bottom line of public acceptance was met with a head-on attack from conservative people. They can forgive Geffen for disclosing his sexual orientation because he mistakenly believed he had a terminal illness.

However, trying to change Snow White into the image of Drag Queen is beyond the public's psychological bottom line. If this continues, do you still want to turn the Little Mermaid into a black man, make Superman like men, and make 007 a woman?

Cates, the chairman of the investigation committee, also agreed with Ronald's handling plan. In the end, everyone forced Alan Carr to accept the reason and let this person who destroyed the classic image get out of Hollywood from now on.

…

"Chairman of the Oscars Investigative Committee, Mr. Cates, told this station that the awards show has received widespread negative reviews, and the reason why he and Hollywood stars jointly opposed it was that the singing and dancing time was too long.

The twelve minutes of singing and dancing exhausted the enthusiasm of all the audience. Alan Carr, who was producing an awards show for the first time, made the mistake he shouldn't have made...

The Academy Board of Directors stated that the next Oscar Awards Ceremony will be handed over to Mr. Cates, the Chairman of the Investigation Committee. He is the right person who is familiar with Hollywood and what kind of award ceremony the audience needs.

Mr. Cates told our reporter that he will consult extensively and then form a production team with expert participation, composed of directors, stars, film critics and other broad representatives. He proposed Ronald Lee as the first candidate... He believed that during the investigation process, Ronald Lee's understanding of the awards show gave him a lot of inspiration, and his participation in the next show is essential. of……"

"very good……"

Michael Ovitz sat in his office, pleased with the way the incident had been resolved. Everyone knows the reason, and everyone carefully avoids the real reason. This reason is acceptable to the audience and people in the industry, and both parties are very satisfied.

The union of hairstylists and makeup artists stated that they would no longer seek a strike, and the old men who wrote the joint letter also expressed their understanding after receiving assurances that they would not conduct such sneak attacks again. Ovitz pressed the call button, "Please ask Niceta to come to my office..."

"Rick, I have a good Oscar material project here. Is your client interested in taking it on?"

Ovitz passed a script across the table. After the awards show, "Mississippi Burning" director Alan Parker and lead actor Gene Hackman simultaneously expressed their intention to withdraw from CAA.

These people also don't think about it. They were able to get the nomination not only because of the projects that CAA secured for them, the green light they obtained by intimidating the studios, and the director and protagonist positions they obtained against everyone else's opinions.

Since I don’t want to stay at CAA anymore, I should give up the projects I originally wanted to shoot and give them to Ronald who is willing to cooperate with me and help me make money.
