Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Heimdale's office is on the edge of West Hollywood, and the company is small. The secretaries work together in the outside world. In the depths of the big room is a small office for the producer.

In the afternoon, the secretaries still kept the British custom of drinking afternoon tea. Several secretaries drank black tea and coffee together and chatted about gossip.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise from the gate, and the locked door was kicked open. Several secretaries were frightened. One secretary's hot drink splashed on her hand, and she cried out in pain, "Ah ah..."

A tall man walked in, with straight hair standing up, and a pair of large aviator-style Ray-Ban sunglasses covering most of his face. He was wearing a leather jacket and trousers, with a pair of leather boots underneath, and he was bouncing on the floor.

He walked closer to the secretaries step by step, without saying a word. .

The secretaries shrank their screams back in fright.

The visitor walked slowly to the middle of the room, looked at everyone, and then sat down on the sofa, his back still straight.

Hearing the loud noise, the producer stepped out of the small room to open the door to check. He happened to see someone sitting on the sofa with his sunglasses-wearing eyes slamming on him, which made him shiver a little too.

"Sir, please... Please don't hurt us, what do you need? I have some cash here..." A bolder secretary asked him what he wanted.

I saw that this person took off his sunglasses and had a good-looking face. He was silent, glanced around at everyone, and then pointed to the door.

"Ladies and gentlemen, hello," I saw a man and a woman walk in outside the door, and the woman reached out to the producer first, "Hello, sir, I'm Gail who called to make an appointment. Hurd, this is Jim Cameron, and we're here to talk about the Terminator project."

"He, he...is that the Terminator image you prepared?" The producer finally understood that this was a door-to-door sales promotion for the movie project. It's just that this way of appearing is unexpected.

"Yes, this is a friend of ours. He plays the image of Terminator, a killing machine from the future. What do you think, sir, may we go in and talk more?"

The producer and two visitors entered the office, and took another look at the eccentric before entering.

Ronald has taken off his sunglasses, apologized to the secretaries, and thoughtfully sent some discount coupons for Vans shoes and movie coupons as gifts.

The secretaries suddenly realized, and then burst into laughter, and hurriedly brought him a cup of black tea and a few deliciously baked butter biscuits, and Ronald ate with them.

After more than half an hour, Ronald had become good friends with the secretaries, and chatted a lot of gossip about Heimdall. Instead, I like to invest in some art films that star actors like.

"Crack", the people in the office were opened,

The producers sent Cameron and Gale out.

"Very good, your idea is very good, I will give Orion's... a call, let's make an appointment to chat together, I like this project very much. However, the actor needs to be replaced by a famous one." The producer went on I looked up and down at Ronald, who was chatting, and confirmed that this person was not a famous actor.

"Great!" The three walked out of Heimdale's office and sat down in a cafe.

"Heimdale was also willing to match three million, and they agreed with Cameron to direct, and today's presentation was so successful, he was amazed at Jim's vision." Gale was very happy, and raised a total of $6 million. , and then find a few small investors, and you can start shooting.

"It was mainly Ronald's kick in the door, which frightened the secretaries and impressed the producers. The image of the Terminator is too realistic." Jim patted Ronald on the shoulder. , "Why don't you play the male lead."

"Hey, please forgive me. I almost sprained my kick today. Fortunately, I'm pretending to be dumb, otherwise, looking at how nervous I am, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to speak."

"Didn't you have a good cameo in 'High School of Rock'?" Cameron asked.

"That's a cameo. The protagonist needs to act. I'm very nervous. I'm afraid that I won't act well and I'll miss your business."

Jim hugged Ronald but didn't say a word. The two good friends knew what they knew and didn't need to thank him verbally.

"Then who are you looking for to play the male lead? I think the producer is looking for a star?" Ronald was very sensitive to others' scrutiny of himself, and captured the scrutiny of the producer at the final farewell.

"I don't know. In short, our budget is not much, and we have to allocate most of it to special effects. We can only find actors with low pay but a certain reputation, and they must be strong men."

"If that's the case, isn't that the ones looking for celebrities from other industries to turn into actors?" Gale said.

"If you say that, I think of someone." Ronald put down his coffee cup. "Have any of you seen that orange juice commercial? It's the former football star whose initials are OJ, the same as orange juice."

"OJ Simpson?" Cameron asked, seeing Ronald nod, he also felt the beard on his chin and thought about it.

"Well, he can act well, and he also played the police detective in the movie 'Cassandra Bridge' a few years ago." Gale interjected.

"But his image is too healthy, a former NFL All-Star, and a TV commentator after retiring. No one will believe that he can play a killing machine, right?" Cameron thought about it and denied it.

"That's right, think about it slowly, the rest is up to you." Ronald drank his coffee, "Let me wear this, I think it suits my temperament."

"Okay, you're going to buy a Harley motorcycle." Cameron has a soft spot for Harley.

"No, I ordered a Honda 250, it's not easy to break. I'm not as good at repairing cars as you are."

"what ever."

"By the way, call me when you set up the project for an interview, and I'll do an interview. When my movie is released, you guys will come and help each other." Ronald said to Gale.

Gail made an OK gesture to him, bowed his head and began to count the financing and distribution of the project.

After saying hello and leaving, Ronald went to the Honda motorcycle store to pick up the bike.

Dongying people's companies are very particular about customer experience, and they greeted them with a smile. They brought him a cup of tea. The last time I ordered a car, I knew Ronald liked tea.

"Ronald-san, we have prepared this car for you. Please come with me." He bowed and saluted Ronald, then stretched out his hand to invite Ronald to enter the hall.

Gutui\u003c/span\u003e A large jujube red motorcycle is parked there, with strong horsepower, shining headlights, and the handlebars are slightly downward. Different from ordinary Dongying cars, which emphasize lightness and focus on the front, this large-displacement motorcycle The center of gravity of the motorcycle is relatively rearward, but not so rearward as the Harley, almost lying on the seat.

Ronald rode it up and tried it out, it was a good fit.

The salesman sealed the key with his hands, "Try?"

Ronald plugged in the key, turned it half a turn, then grabbed the handlebar with his right hand and turned the gas twice. Land on the ground with your left foot, press the start lever with your right foot, and press down with one foot.

"Boom..."

The sound of the motor made Ronald feel it, and he let go of the brakes.

After a few laps outside the door, Ronald returned to the sale, offering up a helmet, "and one in the back box."

Ronald nodded, put on his sunglasses, then pressed on his helmet and adjusted the straps. As soon as you hit the accelerator, you're on your way.

Arriving at CAA's office, Ronald parked his car and entered the office with his helmet in hand, successfully causing a commotion. The secretaries all came to say hello to him, so that they could squeeze Ronald's muscles and take advantage of it.

It seems that this body is really suitable for him, and the more gentle temperament is virtually removed, which highlights Ronald's figure and masculinity. Coupled with a beard and a wide chin, he is the favorite sportsman of these female secretaries.

Ronald crossed the hall to Nisita's office, where he had invited Catherine Bigelow and Willem Dafoe to talk things over.

"Oh, don't you think about trying to be an actor?" Catherine Bigelow stood up and looked Ronald up and down, as if she regretted not letting him do the last movie.

"Hey, does it really work so well?" Ronald thought to himself, or rely on this style of clothing in the future.

"Speaking of business, your movie 'Loveless', I have shown the poster to Yoram from Cannon Films, he is interested and willing to chat with you, then he can be your distributor and go to the Cannes Film Festival Give it a try. He said that Chinese people prefer some movies that reflect the dark side of America, and maybe there will be a market in Europe and East Ying.”

"Thank you so much" Bigelow stood up and hugged Ronald, and Willem Dafoe was also very happy.

"Don't thank me, they originally hoped to buy some movies to sell in Cannes, which is your movie poster, maybe with Bo Derek and Faye Dunaway's two pornographic films, I don't know if you will accept it. "

"It's no problem," Bigelow didn't care about the bars in order to sell the movie.

"No, has Faye Dunaway been reduced to making erotic movies?"

"No," Ronald took off his sunglasses, and it's a little weird to wear them indoors, "That's right, Cannon's Minahan always adds erotic content to movies, so he will make supporting characters play. His hobby is a bit weird, I I told him that your movie has been filmed for a long time, and it is impossible to add content."

"The idea of ​​these people is really strange. Why do female characters have to play male playthings on the screen, goals? Without a little personality and pursuit of their own?" , but she, a new director who can't sell a movie, has no ability to change this.

"You've got me wrong." Ronald said two songs one at a time.

"Anyway, thank you." The two thanked, took the Minahan business card that Ronald gave, and went to Cannon to discuss the details.

"Honestly, have you tried being an actor? A lot of directors are part-time actors, such as Sidney Pollack, who you voted for best director at the Oscars, who himself played a supporting role agent in 'My Fair Lady'. "

Agent Nisita took out a glass and handed Ronald some brandy. Today's appearance made his eyes shine. Ronald might be better suited for this blue-collar look, but he might be able to play certain roles if he tried it out.

"I voted?"

"Yes, you voted for 'My Fair Lady' for Best Picture, Sidney Pollack for Best Director, Dustin Hoffman for Best Actor, Meryl Streep for Best Actress... …”

"Oh, yes," Ronald remembered that he gave CAA a vote to help him get media exposure. "Are they all your clients?"

"Yes, do you want to think about it? Our CAA also has a very good way of promoting actors."

"Let's talk about it later. I'm very nervous today, for fear of ruining the business. It seems that my acting skills are not enough."

"Ring, ringing, ringing..." The phone on the desk rang loudly. Nisita picked up the phone. "Who? Good."

"Looking for you." He handed Ronald over the phone.

"I'm Ronald, who?"

A girl's voice came on the other end of the phone, "I'm Diane, I'm in Los Angeles, are you in CAA? I'll go look for you, then you'll accompany me to the set, director Walter Hill is there. It's been half a month."

"Okay, how long are you going to shoot this time?" Ronald waited for Diane Lane, who hurriedly arrived in the office. She was still dressed like a rock star, and seeing Ronald was wearing a leather jacket and trousers today, her eyes lit up.

"It's quite long, and musicals are said to be difficult to shoot. Yeah? We all wear the same style today? Um, can you take a group photo for us?"

Nisita said yes, took out a camera and took a few pictures of Ronald and Diane.

"Yeah? Do you still have a motorcycle? I want to ride, I want to ride." Diane saw Ronald's new Honda 250 after he went out, and his eyes lit up.

"Can you ride a motorcycle? Why don't you sit behind me." Ronald looked for it and pressed it on the storage box in the back seat. The box opened, and inside was a red helmet.

He handed it to Diane, and got in the car and started the motorcycle. Diane put on his helmet, straddled behind Ronald, and wrapped his arms around Ronald's waist.

"Let's Go!" Ronald turned the accelerator and drove to medium to high gear. The motorcycle roared and galloped towards the studio.
