Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 87 You are late

The latest website: "Hi, Brooke, I'm Ronald." Ronald counted the time and dialed Brooke's home in New Jersey. After the kissing incident, he never talked to Brooke about it again.

"Hi, Ronnie." Brooke's voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little shy.

"Baby dear, come and see Brooke's hairdresser, what kind of hairstyle should you do today? Who are you calling?" Brooke's mother, Terry, brought out a plastic mannequin, which was strictly according to Brooke customized head shape.

Terry always wears various wigs on this model to confirm today's hairstyle with Brooke, hence the name Brooke Hairdresser.

"It's Ronald," Brooke said to her mother, covering the microphone.

"Is it Terry? I'm calling to ask if you have received an invitation from 'Longwei Kid'. This movie is now directed by me." Ronald heard Terry talking on the other side of the phone.

When Terry heard that it was Ronald, he had to accept that he rushed to rescue his daughter from the car accident, so he just pouted and made a "no" mouth to his daughter.

"Well, Ronnie. I got an invitation, but you know, I got into Princeton, which is my dream, so I'm not going to do this kind of long-term movie project for now. If your movie can be postponed until the holidays During... oh, okay." Brooke also made an "I rejected him" mouth to Terry.

"Well, I know you're going to college, I'm calling just to try my luck."

"I'm going to Princeton soon, and I'm packing my bags right now. Princeton promised me a regular dorm, and I'm excited to live in a dorm that's hundreds of years old."

"Will you come when I start school? There was a party at my old house in New York... oh, I see, you're still busy with movies, so... that's it?"

Brooke hung up the phone, touched her lips, and fell into memory for a while.

Ronald also hung up the phone, relieved. Weintraub suddenly wanted to ask Brooke to play the role. If Brooke agreed to train her acting skills, it would kill her. But on the other hand... He also thought of the kiss that Brooke escaped.

"Honey, who are you calling?" Helen recovered some energy from the blow. She went out to relax with her friends in the morning, and came back just to see Ronald in a daze with the phone.

"Oh, it's Brooke. Brooke Shields, she rejected me."

"She rejected you?" Helen heard Ronald say.

Also startled.

"She's going to Princeton, she can't play the heroine of Long Wei Kid, and another heroine I like is going to Harvard. I hate Ivy League."

"Okay, you have to choose someone else, Ronnie." Helen said to Ronald. "Your cousin Donna's flight is coming soon. I'm going to attend the Supergirl press interview this afternoon. We'll wait until I get back. See you again."

Then Helen gestured at her trophy to the full-length mirror, "How do you think I wear this? My friends and I went to a lot of second-hand dress shops." Helen took out the second-hand dresses that she bought in the morning.

The slightly pink dress complemented Helen's complexion, Ronald nodded, "Very good, but why do you always wear second-hand clothes? I also made an appointment with fashion designer Mr. Giorgio Armani, for you too Provide a dress..."

"Why? Don't I look good in this? It's too wasteful for the American people now. If we can save some, those children in the third world countries can get food and medical care."

"Ah..." Ronald remembered that Helen's mother was an environmentalist and an anti-nuclearist. She is also obligated to provide legal defense to many environmental groups.

"But I've promised Mr. Armani, and I thought you'd like a custom gown."

"Honey, I think these are all over-consumption. I can buy desirable clothes at a very cheap price, can't I?" Helen picked up the clothes and compared them again.

"Okay," thought Ronald, and then it's time to explain it to Mr. Armani.

"Ding dong", the door opened, and it was Ronald's cousin, Donna, standing in front of the door.

"Hello, Ronnie, it's very spacious here." Donna pulled a suitcase with two wheels under it, which is a special style for little girls.

"Donna, why did you come by yourself? Didn't I tell you to call me and I asked Richard to pick you up?"

"No, I went to several universities in New England on my own."

"Hello, Helen," Donna and dressed Helen also said hello.

"Come with Donna, my friend will drive to pick me up." Helen and Donna hugged, put on pale pink clothes, opened the door and walked out.

"Which schools are you going to visit? I'll ask Richard to drive you there. I've been busy with movies lately and can't get away."

"No, I've already got my driver's license. Just lend me the car." Donna reached out for the car keys.

"Can you do it? Will Aunt Karen agree?"

"Of course, she also said I drove well."

"Okay," Ronald reached out and handed Donna the keys to the Saab 900.

"Where are you going in the afternoon?" Donna got the keys, went to test the car, and then came home to pack up.

"I'm going to visit Diane's class. The producer, Mr. Weintraub, wants to try her out to see if she is interested in participating in my new film. I contacted her agent yesterday and went directly to the studio this afternoon."

"Oh, okay, I'll go too, I haven't seen her for a long time." Donna flicked the car keys, just in time to drive Ronald.

Donna drove carefully and slowly came to the largest studio in Universal Studios.

The two registered from the studio assistant and received the reserved visit pass.

As soon as Ronald entered, he saw music director Jim Steinman, the long-haired songwriter, directing his band to take their place on stage, with a harmony team of four female singers in the back row.

Today is the scene of filming the concert again. Diane Lane starring rock singer Alan Ann, after being rescued by Cody from the villain, re-opened a concert in her hometown to make up for the audience's regret.

This time she sang Bruce Springsteen's single, "Rage Streets" of the same name as the movie. Diane, wearing a backless red costume, began to move on stage.

"Water?" The stand-in dancer Marlene Jahan, who has transformed into Diane's valet, held a bottle of water, revealing a straw for Diane to drink.

"Energy bar?" Marlene broke off a small piece of chocolate energy bar and handed it to Diane to replenish her energy.

"Diane!" Donna yelled to her best friend Diane from outside the railing below the stage.

"Hmm..." Diane took a few bites of the chocolate and waved to the people beside her, asking them to let Donna and Ronald in.

Ronald walked into the stage, Diane's new costume, also carefully ordered by Giorgio Armani. The red dress all over the body is inlaid with diamonds and there is a big V opening directly to the waist and hips.

Diane wore heavy performance makeup, and her face was very suitable for this kind of heavy makeup. Under the light, her tall nose cast a shadow on her face. With high combed hair, long eyelashes, and dark eyeshadow, she looks like a real rock star.

Ronald didn't know Diane a bit, not only because of her makeup and dress, but in the few weeks of filming, Diane's temperament changed completely, just because of the few days she had just instructed Ma Lin to be her assistant. Now, there is already a star's aura.

Donna climbed onto the stage with hands and feet, and went up to hug her friend.

"Oh... Be careful, don't mess with your makeup." Donna was also very surprised at Diane's change, and was a little afraid to recognize each other.

"It doesn't matter, I'll let them paint again if it costs me." Diane pulled his best friend to sit on a chair with his own name, put Ronald aside, and the two girlfriends started talking.

Seeing that they were having a good chat, Ronald stepped aside to say hello to producer Joel Silver.

"So it's close to filming?" Ronald asked Joel about the progress of filming.

"There are still a few shots left. Today is our last scene in this studio. When we finish filming the scenes for Diane's concert, the stage and concert sets here will be dismantled."

"When are you going to show it?"

"Around next summer, why do you have time to visit the class today?" Joel asked Ronald's purpose.

"My sister," Ronald pointed to Donna, "is a good friend of Diane. I brought her here today to ask if Diane has any work arrangements next. I want to ask her to appear in my movie."

"Oh, she's a popular teen star now, and her agent came a few times last week."

On the other side, Diane and Donna also began to chat quietly.

"You've changed so much, Diane. I think you're so beautiful now that you look like a movie star. When I was with you before, I didn't feel like you were a female star."

"How is it? Not bad," Diane proudly showed off to her best friend. "My two sets of performance costumes are both custom-made by Giorgio Armani."

"I think you look like a queen in the crew. Many people are very polite to you. Some people even give you flowers." Donna pointed to the rose next to her, and there was a card on it.

"It was given by the actor Michael Parr. I don't like this blond, but he often sends flowers, so I leave them alone."

"You're in the crew now, aren't you the boss?" Donna quietly observed the eyes of the people around Diane. Many people were envious, and some women looked at them with jealous eyes.

"Of course, you don't know, the interpersonal relationship in the crew is too complicated, you see that woman in the supporting role, she tried to sneak in my costume last time. And that Rick Moranis, the one with glasses, The boyfriend he plays my character is always chatting with me and telling his silly jokes."

"Which one? Is that the little guy? He looks a bit wretched."

"Yeah, he also thought his jokes were funny, and he quarreled with Michael Parr the other day and almost got into a fight."

"Did you provoke them?" Donna giggled.

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Diane also chuckled, and at this moment she showed the appearance of some high school girls.

Donna touched Diane with her elbow, "Hey, Diane. Do you still like my brother? He seems to have a problem with that Helen. I came this morning to see that she and Ronnie didn't talk much, and went out shopping by themselves. ."

"Humph!" Diane snorted, "I have a crush on my best friend's brother. Every girl has this kind of dream. It's good to grow up. I used to have a crush on him, but now..."

"Diane, do you have time to chat?" Ronald couldn't sit still when he heard Joel Silver say that Diane's agent had arranged a few auditions for her, so he hurried over to ask. If Diane has other film contracts, Ronald can only count on "Red Dawn" and Harvard to let people go, which is a bit of handing over the initiative to others.

"Hey, I should have come and asked Diane earlier." Ronald saw Diane today and found that she was more than enough to play a beautiful high school student. Like Ali's dream lover, it was not a big problem.

"What's the matter?" Diane turned his head and looked at Ronald, with bright red lips and a big wavy hairstyle, Ronald was obviously startled. Diane seems to have cultivated a charming and star-like temperament in the months of filming. Raising hands and feet is no longer the appearance of greenness.

"How can it change so much in a few months?" Ronald put his mind away, "I'm here to ask, do you have any film appointments next? My new film 'Long Wei Kid' just needs a heroine. "

Diane raised her head slightly, looking at Ronald with a charming look, and slowly stroked the ends of her hair, "You are late, Ronald. I have promised Director Coppola to star in his new work, Playing a singer in the 1920s and 1930s, I thought it was similar to this role, so I agreed."

"Diane? Can we start walking?" the director asked with a microphone next to him.

"Come on", Diane ruffled her hair, stood up and walked to the middle of the stage, posing in a ready pose.

"Turn on the lights and let's see the effect."

With a few clicks, the million-dollar gaffer turned on the overhead lights. Several beams of sunlight came in from the small windows in the ceiling, and under the diffuse reflection of the smoke, several light paths appeared, shining on Diane, and the broken diamonds were as beautiful as the stars.

From the stereo came the voice of Jim Steinman's singer Sargent, who sang on his behalf, with a voice with some metallic tones.

"When the night is dead, you don't care about me anymore,

Your eyes are tired, someone is at your door,

you realize you want to let go

The loser lies in the cold wall, you hug you

Deep down in your heart, baby, I'm not a liar, I just have to go"

The lyrics seem to be alluding to his and Diane's situation. "Hey, it's late." Ronald hammered the railing with one hand in anger.

In this way, I can only hope that Leigh Thompson will not be selected by "Red Dawn", or that Elizabeth Shue's Harvard teacher will be reasonable and let her be used for the film.
