Exploiting Hollywood 1980

The accidental death of Vic Morrow and two young actors has attracted a lot of attention from the public, which greatly exceeded Ronald's expectations. \u003c/p\u003e The news column of the TV station has been following the incident for several days. They also dispatched a film crew to find the "Indian Ranch", the location of the filming, and several helicopters surrounded the scene for aerial photography. \u003c/p\u003e Right next to the half-crashed helicopter leaning on the edge of the lake, the surviving helicopter pilot, a Vietnam War veteran, was interviewed. \u003c/p\u003e "I was interviewed because I didn't want the helicopter pilot to have this kind of tragedy again. The director loudly told us to fly a little lower, fly a little lower, I don't know what happened, the helicopter's The tail was disturbed, we couldn't control the plane, and it crashed by the lake."\u003c/p\u003e "Why are they still talking about the tragedy of their pilot? Isn't this the tragedy of the actor and two innocent children?" Luo Nader couldn't help but complain. \u003c/p\u003e "This was all pointed out by a lawyer. Didn't you see that he deliberately showed the scratch on his lips?" Agent Nisita, who accompanied Ronald to watch the news on TV with Richard, replied Ronald's question. \u003c/p\u003e "Deliberately throw the blame?"\u003c/p\u003e "Yes, this accident will be more trouble than we originally imagined. The public's attention is very high, and all parties in the incident have begun to scoff at the speed of light. Clear the relationship."\u003c/p\u003e As soon as the TV camera turned, there was an aerial shot of the helicopter rotating over the crash site. The helicopter flew very low, and the wreckage of the helicopter was clearly visible. The news host's voiceover is still playing:\u003c/p\u003e "The helicopter crash during the filming has caused the largest number of accidental deaths in recent years. We call on the trade union to establish a safety system as soon as possible to reduce unnecessary helicopter aerial footage. .Prevent this kind of tragedy from happening again."\u003c/p\u003e "Well, puff." Ronald couldn't help for a while, "It's okay, sorry."\u003c/p\u003e "The producer said that the shots needed for the film , all shooting has been completed." The voiceover ended with a comment related to "Yin and Yang Demon Realm", ending the news. \u003c/p\u003e "What does that mean?" Ronald asked Nisita, feeling wrong. \u003c/p\u003e "The distributor, the shooting team, the victim's family, all of them need a hapless person to take responsibility. Now that they have begun to act, the director of this part of the plot, John Landis, may be them Choose the person in charge."\u003c/p\u003e "This is director Landis's hint that Warner Bros., the movie has been filmed, don't give up on him, right?" Richard had a realization. \u003c/p\u003e "Is Landis also a producer?"\u003c/p\u003e "Yes, he and Spielberg are producers."\u003c/p\u003e Nisita saw the potential danger, Go out and find President Michael Ovitz first. CAA has recently lost up-and-coming comedy star John Belushi, can't go out to Spielberg anymore, what are they going to do for him. \u003c/p\u003e Although Spielberg is not a client of CAA, he has taken care of a large number of actors who have signed up with CAA. At this critical moment when ET aliens are about to be released, no mistakes can be made. \u003c/p\u003e Ronald and Richard continued to read the news in the office. \u003c/p\u003e "The safety issue of filming is the focus of public attention. This station interviewed the publisher of 'Yin and Yang Demon Realm', Warner Bros. A spokesman for Warner Bros. said that this was a tragedy and was it human negligence? The resulting accident depends on the results of the police investigation.\u003c/p\u003e Then we went on to hang up the other big studios.

Universal did not give interviews, and Disney, with no comment. Paramount, no comment. 20th Century Fox, no comment..." \u003c/p\u003e Ronald and Richard looked at each other, and no comment was a normal press spokesman's language, but it was edited by the TV station, which seemed to be a producer. The factory's attitude was very prevaricious. After the audience saw it, how could they feel a sense of sympathy for the victims and condemnation of the capitalists.\u003c/p\u003e "Let's pick up the hotline of a few audiences, Mary from Maryland...\u003c /p\u003e Hello, I think the government should limit the reckless actions of film producers and directors. Last year's Heaven's Gate, a bad film cost 40 million US dollars. Do you know how many public schools can be funded with this amount of money? How many people at the bottom are fed? \u003c/p\u003e …Ok, thank you Mary for coming. The next thing we receive is..."\u003c/p\u003e "Why didn't the producers come out to refute, if the TV news were allowed to accuse like this, something would happen. "Ronald felt more and more wrong, as if the accusations were increasingly being directed at the directors who made the big money, for ignoring the lives of the lower-level crew members, and the people were starting to point their fingers at them.\u003c/p\u003e "Because Landis did. A big mistake was made, and the studio has to worry about the police investigation. "Richard was well-informed at CAA, and there were no outsiders there, so he told the truth.\u003c/p\u003e "You know, Ronald." The Actors Guild prohibits underage young actors from working late at night. For two group performances under the age of ten like this, filming of any scenes after 11 p.m. is prohibited. "\u003c/p\u003e "Of course. I know. "When Ronald himself was filming "Fast Pace", he almost failed to film a small actor's scene before the deadline due to various reasons on the first day of filming, but it was a success later.\u003c/p\u003e "This scene It was an evening scene, and the first assistant director on the scene, along with the pyrotechnician, and the helicopter team all thought that Landis would use technical means to work day and night, adding filters to the camera during the day to complete the shooting. \u003c/p\u003e But he still shot the scene at 2:00 a.m. in order to shoot the effect or to catch up with the schedule. In order to avoid the regulations, he instructed the second assistant director to give cash to the two young actors and prevent their names from appearing in the movie. In the list of filming personnel, in order to evade the supervision of the Actors Guild. "\u003c/p\u003e "This? Is it for the effect of shooting, or to save money in a hurry? "Ronald disagrees with this approach very much. Landis is not a low-budget production. Why should he be stingy in such a place? \u003c/p\u003eGu\u003c/span\u003e "Come with me, Tom Mun of Universal Te proposed a high-level meeting involving Steven's ET, and your 'fast-paced' distribution, Ovitz has gone, we CAA will defend your interests. "Nicita said to Ronald and Richard, who opened the office.\u003c/p\u003e The group hurried to Universal, where an impromptu meeting convened by Tom Mount had begun, MCA President Simberg, Universal Productions. VP Ned Tanin, and the two VPs of marketing and distribution, were in the executive boardroom on the top floor to discuss the release of ET Alien.\u003c/p\u003e Nisita went to find out, Rhona. De and Richard joined the two producers, Lin Sen and Azov, downstairs.\u003c/p\u003e "Why the meeting? Does it have any effect on our films? "\u003c/p\u003e "The release meeting about our film and ET was convened on an impromptu basis by Mount. Spielberg is the producer of 'Tin and Yang', we should be Jennifer's relationship. It shouldn't have much to do with us, it's her who should be worried. Linson pouted to a professional woman across from him.\u003c/p\u003e It was Spielberg's assistant, Katherine Kennedy. Ronald nodded and greeted her, then walked over to say hello.\u003c/p\u003e "Why are you here?" already? "Catherine was a little surprised to see Ronald.\u003c/p\u003e "The heroine of my new film, Jennifer, is the daughter of the tragically killed Vic Morrow. "\u003c/p\u003e "Oh, I didn't expect this to involve you." "\u003c/p\u003e "Where's Steven?" "\u003c/p\u003e "Fortunately, he is only one of the producers of 'Yin and Yang Demon Realm', and Landis was responsible for the accident. Some people are not willing to fail. "\u003c/p\u003e At the same time, on the top floor of the Universal Building, in the best executive meeting room, several senior executives of Universal were discussing.\u003c/p\u003e Tom Mount seized this unexpected opportunity and proposed to hold a meeting. Meeting, trying to reduce the number of theaters that ET aliens released in the first weekend.\u003c/p\u003e "Steven is one of the producers of 'Yin and Yang', and now the public opinion is focused on the crew's non-compliance with regulations, resulting in deaths. I think it makes the audience's perception of him worse. And ET is also a children's movie. Two children died in this accident. "\u003c/p\u003e "We already have a definite plan for this matter, and the current public perception is mainly directed at director Landis, who ignores the union rules. I think we should stick to our distribution marketing plan. \u003c/p\u003e ET's test screening rating is A+, and we worked hard to get the 1,100 theaters released in the first weekend. As expected, this number will rise in the second week. "\u003c/p\u003e The vice presidents of marketing and distribution are all on the side of Simberg.\u003c/p\u003e "Your opinion?" "Tom Mount also anticipated this situation, did not say much, and directly asked Simberg's attitude.

\u003c/p\u003e "I support their opinion. The existing marketing rhythm should not be modified. It is only a week away from the painting. Temporary changes are self-defeating."\u003c/p\u003e Tom Mount knew that this matter would not be solved so easily , so let Simberg take the attitude of endorsing Spielberg's full authority first. This kind of film aimed at young audiences has no precedent for box office success. \u003c/p\u003e "And the 'fast-paced Richmond High School' where the heroine Jennifer Jason Leigh is the daughter of the slain Vic Morrow, and you put her nudity in the movie, will Controversial."\u003c/p\u003e Mount took a second turn and attacked Ronald's film again. \u003c/p\u003e "This is a low-cost youth film. Without these shots, how can it attract the key audience of summer movies, male teenagers?"\u003c/p\u003e The vice president of distribution gave Ronald a fair word. \u003c/p\u003e "It's time for the people to pity Vic Morrow. Are you really going to go against the will of the people? What do you think?" Mount asked Simberg. \u003c/p\u003e Simberg is afraid of a group of retired old guys behind Mount, and doesn't want to openly fall out with Mount now, so how can he show support for Ronald's movie? He thought for a while and was about to speak. \u003c/p\u003e "Jennifer Jason Lee's mother, Barbara, and Vic Morrow have been divorced for more than ten years. Now the focus of the media's attention is on the accident itself, and no one will disturb the relatives. ."\u003c/p\u003e It's Ned Tanning who has good things to say about "Fast Pace". I didn't expect that this old stubborn would actually say good things about Ronald's exposed footage. \u003c/p\u003e Tom Mount glanced at Tanin. Tanin has always been known for his insistence, right and wrong, but the old guys always remember what he was right. However, does no one really turn over the old accounts of relatives? \u003c/p\u003e "There is no change, our release plan is still proceeding as usual."\u003c/p\u003e Soon, the decision of the executive meeting room on the top floor reached the ears of Ronald and others who were waiting downstairs. \u003c/p\u003e "It seems that Tom Mount's days at Universal will be counted in days." On the way back, Nisita said suddenly. He opposes Spielberg like this, and his supporters will shut up when the ET box office hits next week. \u003c/p\u003e \u003c/p\u003e
