Exploiting Hollywood 1980

At night, the agent Rick Nisita was lying on the bed with Paula Wagner in his arms. Their office romance could not be exposed. Paula secretly drove to date Nisita every day.

"You didn't sign David Lynch, does it have an impact on your status in the company. The new generation of art directors." Paula lit a cigarette and asked, wrapping the quilt tightly.

"He has offended a lot of power people, and now is not a good time to sign him. Universal's 'fast-paced Richmond High School' will also say goodbye to him, if he doesn't fire Universal first." Nisita laughs With a bang, he took the cigarette Paula handed over with his mouth and took a deep breath.

"Tom Cruise got a role in 'Lights Out,' he got a supporting role with room to play. That movie was guaranteed by Timothy Hutton getting it.

You're going for a directorship for Ronald Lee. Hutton is a golden boy. If he knew that Tom and Ronald were on good terms, wouldn't he? Paula took the cigarette from his mouth again and took a puff on her own.

"Business is business. Give up Ronald's manager position if you're worried," Nisita replied.

"Do you have any key information that I don't know?" Paula rolled over and rode on Nisita and asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Spielberg's new Alien movie was let go by Tom Mount, the president of Universal Pictures, and gave Columbia a chance. Simberg, CEO of Universal Pictures' parent company MCA, didn't expect this to happen. Back then It was he who discovered Spielberg and gave him, then unknown, the chance to direct Jaws.

Mount, the 33-year-old president of Universal Pictures, who relies on women to take the top position, bypassed Simberg and made a private decision. He really thought he was the "little tycoon" in the interview with Time magazine.

The money-making director he trained himself went to Columbia's Frank Price to collaborate on a new film. Simberg was furious.

Simberg might have personally fought for the project with Spielberg, whose importance was rapidly rising. He told CAA that he wanted to meet Ronald during awards season. If I can go through the relationship that Ronald is appreciated by Spielberg, I'll take the relationship with Simberg..."

"Well, Rick, you're amazing." Paula kissed Nisita's lips.

...

"Oh, that's too bad." Ronald was in Roger Coleman's office meeting his former boss, Gale's new secretary to the president, and came in with a piece of paper. Coleman let out a sigh after seeing it.

"What's the matter?" Ronald asked.

Coleman took a small piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Ronald along with the new document.

Ronald took it and saw that the small piece of paper was a telegram. The words "Moscow can't believe it, tears. . . .

Seeing that Ronald was unclear, Roger Coleman explained:

"We invited Mensov and his wife to attend the Oscars. This is from Moscow, the director of the film, Mensov, who was banned from attending the Oscars because his superiors suspected him of defecting. It was sent to me a few days ago. Seal the telegram."

"We protested, and today the cultural counselor of the embassy sent an official document to represent the Moscow State Film Studio at the awards gala. I had arranged for a reporter to interview Mensov and his wife, the heroine of the film Vera Allen. Tova, it's good for our box office."

"If 'Moscow Don't Believe in Tears' wins, it will also boost the box office, right?" Ronald said.

"Don't you watch the news? This year's selection is Kurosawa Akira's new movie 'Shadow Warrior'. George Lucas personally persuaded 20th Century Fox to vouch for him. He, Coppola and Spielberg all went to Dongying. The studio visited the class. There will be a lot of people voting for them this year.

"

Roger Coleman shook his head. "Fortunately, when you buy a copy at a low price, we earn it anyway."

"Shadow Warrior?" Ronald asked, the name a bit strange.

"I heard that it was the king of Dongying, and he found a similar-looking substitute to attend dangerous situations in his place.

Don't think about it, I've already asked. Although I introduced Kurosawa Akira's last film, Desu Uzara, but now his son has opened a company in New York, and now Kurosawa's films are negotiated by his son for overseas distribution. This time, 20th Century Fox is in charge of the distribution outside of Eastern Ying. "

Ronald smiled. In fact, he didn't have this idea, but he was interested in Kurosawa Akira's new film.

"Then we'll see you tomorrow at the awards ceremony? Mr. Coleman." Ronald got up and left.

"See you tomorrow, this is the luck you brought me, Ronald." Coleman got up to shake his hand and patted Ronald on the shoulder:

"Hollywood doesn't really like those of us who make low-budget exploits, like we don't exist. I rarely get to go to Oscar dinners, and Julie asked me to thank you for her beautiful dresses. "

After saying goodbye, Ronald returned to the hotel. The service department delivered the ironed dress. Ronald changed his bow tie and vest to a different color. This and the last Golden Globes feel like two dresses, save money.

Ronald asked about the phone and called Scorsese, the teacher nominated for best director tomorrow.

"Hi, is that Isabella? I'm Ronald. Is Marty here?"

The microphone was handed to Martin Scorsese, "Ronald?"

"It's me, I'm calling to wish you good luck tomorrow."

"Haha, boy, good luck to you too. I do need some luck."

This nomination is a big deal for Scorsese. Whether he can continue to get the budget for commercial big productions in Hollywood in the future, tomorrow's awards are very important. It was a difficult night for him to fall asleep today.

Gu Ronald was about to go to bed when there was another knock on the door.

Ronald opened the door and saw Burt and Diane Lane.

They quickly greeted their father and daughter, "How do you know that I live here?"

"I called Donna and she told me your agent's phone number." Diane said, rubbing her hands together, seeming a little disturbed.

"When did you arrive? Diane is going to the Oscars dinner tomorrow, right?" Ronald took out two bottles of mineral water from the refrigerator and gave them to them.

"That's what we're here for, Ronald. There's one important thing, and Diane asks for your forgiveness." Bert said seriously.

"What's the matter?" Ronald looked blank.

"I didn't know in advance, and I didn't refuse when the agent contacted me, but yesterday Donna told me about you..." Diane continued to hesitate.

"What the hell? Did you crash my Honda Accord?" Ronald joked.

"It's more serious than that. My Oscar-winning partner is Timothy Hutton." Diane finally said what he wanted Ronald to forgive.

"What?" Ronald suddenly felt very unhappy. "Why? Can't you push it off?"

Diane saw Ronald's frown, and she asked Donna to inquire about Ronald and Hutton's grievance. It seems to involve a woman or something.

"Ronald," Burt came over to make peace, "the TV broadcaster has already determined the entry line, and it would be very troublesome to ask for it to be changed now. Diane's agent was contacting this opportunity very early, and she was I didn't know you had a conflict with Hutton."

"Ronald, I spoke to Donna, and she asked me to speak to you directly. I didn't mean to."

Diane didn't want to lose the friendship of the Ronald family, so she had to come to the door with her father to intercede in person. If this matter is not dealt with and Ronald himself finds out at the awards ceremony the next day, it will be out of control.

Ronald took a small bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet and brought a glass to himself and Burt. Then drank his cup.

The spicy liquor left his throat, and Ronald calmed down a little. The conflict between himself and Hutton has not been made public. To be honest, he didn't know that Hutton would hate himself so much and hold revenge until now.

In fact, his anger was directed at Timothy Hutton, relying on his star status, forcing Universal to choose between himself and him. This nasty bastard was a good boy in the movie "Ordinary Man", but he didn't expect to be an asshole in reality.

I will beat him one day, and see who Hollywood will remember ten years from now.

Ronald said to Diane, "It's none of your business, Diane. But Hutton is likely to slander me on various occasions, so don't go along with him, haha."

Secretly saving the idea of ​​defeating Hutton in the competition, Ronald felt relieved. This line of business relies on winning the audience's love with his works. How can he engage in these crooked ways like Hutton for long.

Diane breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes lit up, she came over and hugged Ronald and thanked him. "Oh, thank you, Ronald. No, I'll kick him if he dares to talk."

The little girl wasn't fully grown yet, Ronald patted her head, "Karen, Donna and I will always welcome you as a guest."

"Don't worry, Burt," Ronald said to Burt. "Hutton is nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and mine is in the music category, in the back row. There's no direct conflict."

Burt hugged Diane, and the relationship between the two is at a very good stage now. "That's it, good luck tomorrow."

"Thanks, I do need a little luck." Ronald bid them farewell.

To the next day, March 30, the day of the awards show. Ronald finished his lunch early, and the award gown needed to be carefully dressed and kept shaved. Eating less and better will help keep your energy up, and you'll need to dress up for an awards dinner tonight, plus the Governor's Ball afterwards.

After dinner Ronald went to bed and took a nap, so that he would not feel sleepy at night at the crowded awards ceremony.

"Ring Ling Ling Ling ..." Ronald was awakened by the ringing of the phone, and it was his manager Nisita when he picked it up.

"Watching TV, something big happened."

Ronald's drowsiness suddenly disappeared, and he glanced at the clock on the wall. It was just past 11:30. He got up and turned on the TV, and said to Nisita on the other end of the receiver, "What's the matter?"

"The three major wireless stations are broadcasting live..."

Ronald looked at the TV, which was a very dark and messy live broadcast background, completely different from the usual clean and bright TV shows, and there were people walking around passing notes.

The screen suddenly switched to the host, "I'm sorry to interrupt the live broadcast ahead. In front of me is the latest news from the Associated Press and United Press that I just received."

His voice was a little choked, "Audience friends, the latest news we just got from the two news agencies, the above news is wrong..."
