Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Borgy Shields and Lucas are expected to work together, and young director Ronald Lee may be a screenwriter."

At the New York airport, three Hollywood celebrities were blocked by the media. As the CAA works, the main focus is on Brooke Shields and Lucas, and Ronald has only been rumoured to land a hard-boiled character.

Brooke went straight back to Princeton, while Ronald bought a plane ticket back to Los Angeles to attend this year's Hollywood Awards Gala.

All Hollywood people want to attend this event. Ronald also had to squeeze his head to get a ticket for the two new films. It's not just Vanity Fair, it's a great place to get interviews and build momentum for a movie for free.

Brooke is determined to quit the entertainment industry and become a good student of Princeton, so she has to find another female partner.

Ronald called Diane in New York.

"Who is it!" Diane roared on the phone, seemingly angrily.

"It's me, Ronald. I want you to be my Oscar-winning girlfriend."

"No time!" Diane rolled over in the quilt. She slept in the middle of the night last night, and the air of being woken up just came out.

"What's the matter, Diane, did you forget the last time we went to the Oscars together?"

"Why don't you go to Bo Ji Xiaosi!"

"No," Ronald became anxious, "Didn't you just want to be happy now, as you said?"

"What did I say? Why didn't you go to Brooke to accompany you?" Diane was so pissed that she hit Ronald.

"Me?" Ronald was at a loss for words.

"You want me to accompany you? Why didn't you come to see me before the Golden Globe Awards? I happened to be free at that time." Di Anjue silenced Ronald, laughed, and then started to act like a spoiled child.

"I was working on the 'breakdance' thing at the time, and now I just finished my work. My agent helped me find two invitations. How can there be an Oscar for the Golden Globes?" Ronald quickly flattered.

"I'm busy."

"you……"

"I really don't have time," Di An said softly. "The Cotton Club is still a bit unfinished, so I have to slowly grind it." It was midnight yesterday, and Di An hasn't woken up yet.

"Can't you take time off with Coppola?" Ronald asked.

"Hey, I thought too, Oscar. Richard Gere wanted to take a leave of absence and was scolded by him. I think Coppola is under a lot of pressure right now, you know? The directors of many other Orion projects are talking bad about him. , just like Michael Cimino who broke United Arts two years ago..."

"Hey……"

Ronald hung up the phone, he didn't believe in evil, couldn't even find a female companion?

Dig out the phone book and look at them one by one.

He called Helen Slater again. Anyway, what he said was a pause, it can be over, right?

"Helen, I'm Ronald. I'd like to invite you to Los Angeles for the Oscars as my girlfriend."

"Sorry, Ronnie. I've figured it out, the first movie can't be released, I'm not fit to be a movie actor, and now I'm studying in an off-Broadway theater in New York, and I'll concentrate on the stage from now on. I saw you last time. Helen Hunter is also with me." Helen's spirit seemed to have recovered a lot, and there was laughter when she spoke.

"I also started practicing jazz piano again, and Gerald said he could help me get in touch with the record company. Now I have a very full schedule." Helen is now living a full life.

"But I'm still glad you remembered me. You can ask your agent to help you find a female partner. I'm currently working on a modern drama, and I'm an understudy for the heroine. I really can't go away."

"All right……"

"Natasha Kinski?" Ronald turned to another name. "Hey, Natasha..."

"Miss Kinski doesn't live here anymore."

"Demi Moore?" "Beep...the apartment phone is empty."

Ronald couldn't find a suitable female companion either. The two ex-girlfriends are both unsuitable for marriage, and the rest are work relationships, or have been out of contact for a long time without news.

Really self-inflicted. The side effect of only short-term happiness is that the girl on the date doesn't take her own business as seriously.

How good is this, do you really want CAA to help with dating a girlfriend? It also seemed so incompetent.

"Hello? Nisita, why don't you find a female companion for me?" It would be even worse if he went to the Oscar scene alone.

"Um...now?" Nisita was also a bit unpredictable, and the award was about to be awarded. The temporary female companion had to have a similar position, but it was not easy to find.

"Let me see, Cher, um, she's got a boyfriend, her boyfriend, Val Kilmer. Deborah Wenger, um, her boyfriend is Nebraska Governor Bob Kerry …”

Nisita called the secretary, searched for a long time, and finally found a suitable female partner, "How about Shirley?"

"Don't be kidding, she's fifty, right? I watched her black-and-white movie 'Peachy Apartment' in college to study screenwriting."

"Hey, I'm not kidding. Where can I find a suitable female companion now, if it weren't for Shirley... um, would you like it anyway? She was a beauty when she was young."

"Is there no other choice?"

"No," Nisita said angrily.

Gujian

"Hi Ronnie, nice to meet you. Let me see, you beautiful boy," Shirley McLean, who was hooked up by CAA, appeared with Ronald at a party two days before the Oscars.

"You know what? I love your movie 'Peachy Apartment' the best, and he got me high marks in my screenwriting class."

"Oh, hahahaha..." Shirley Maclean's eyes narrowed with laughter. "I'll tell you a secret. When you came in just now, I showed you the picture. You were a Chinese in your previous life."

"Huh?" Ronald was surprised, this Shirley MacLean was a bit level.

"Don't believe it, since I opened my eyes, I have been able to see the past lives of many people. I am familiar with China, and the women there can hold up half the sky. When I went to China, the lady of the highest... After meeting me, she also understands movies."

Ronald listened to her and finally understood why no one wanted to attend the Oscars with Maclean.

This star, who has been obsessed with aliens and reincarnation theory in the past two years, has been raving about people every day, saying that she is right and absurd, and Hollywood treats her as a joke.

She claimed to have seen her past life and was a resident of the continent of Atlantis. He also claimed to have seen UFOs many times.

However, Ronald was intimidated by the fact that the other party called out his past life history as soon as he opened his mouth, and he was a little dubious about what she said.

But when she wasn't nervous, Shirley MacLean was a very pleasant lady to get along with. She is well-informed and has cooperated with many great directors and stars in the past. Her brother is a Hollywood bachelor with a different last name, Warren Beatty.

This time at the Oscars, her role in "Terms of Endearment" was a big winner of the nominations. Director James Brooks was nominated for Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay, and Best Director.

There are also two actors each, nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor. The actress in particular, Shirley MacLean and Deborah Winger, who played her daughter in her film, are both nominated, which is also a rarity in history.

This movie made Ronald also feel that the filming was very real, and the actors' performances were top-notch. In the end, a total of eleven nominations were included.

On April 9, Ronald was again at Dorothy Chandler Hall. After he got out of the car, he waited for Shirley MacLean to arrive.

A flash of light flashed, and Shirley McLean was wearing a pink dress and pink high heels. Ronald stretched out his arm and let McLean hold it. Today, her top is a big V-neck, and she wears a diamond necklace. She has an extraordinary temperament, and she can't tell that she is almost fifty years old, and she is still full of vitality.

"You are very beautiful today," Ronald praised.

"Oh, Ronald, you're so sweet," Shirley MacLean gave him a kiss.

Full forward through the crowd, Ronald and Shirley walked down the aisle, and the two entered the lobby.

The seats of the "Mother and Daughter Love" crew are concentrated in the front three rows behind the middle aisle. Ronald saw Deborah Wenger, who was playing his daughter, sitting in the first row.

"Humph!"

The eyes of the two actress nominees are instantly parted.

Ronald thought the rumors might be true, that the two female leads were hostile to each other on set.

"Jack," Maclean saw Jack Nicholson sitting on the other side.

"Shirley", another golden bachelor, Jack Nicholson gave McLean a hard tongue kiss, and the two played couples in the movie. Jack played a retired astronaut, and Ronald felt that the flirting scene between the two on the beach was very well done.

The two found the last third row of the crew and sat down. Ronald noticed that the rest of the crew didn't talk to McLean very much, maybe they were all annoyed by her talking about past lives and aliens every day.

"I think you will definitely win the Best Actor crown tonight," Ronald said quietly to McLean after sitting down. He really thinks that Shirley MacLean's performance is much higher than Deborah Wenger's, and also better than Merrill, who was also nominated for actress in another harvest movie "Silkwood". Streep, and Cher Qiang, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

Shirley is not as confident as he is, she has been nominated four times before, and each time she returns disappointed.

"Next month will be my 50th birthday. I don't think I will be able to realize my dream. You must know that if you don't get the actress before 50, the role of mother will leave you, and if you get a good role, you can I have to wait until after 60 to play grandma."

Maclean is very self-aware, a Hollywood actress, she has already played two stages of virgin and slut, and then only mother and grandma can play.

"I'm serious, it's not a compliment." Ronald saw that she was a little lost, so he counted her wonderful performances in mother-daughter love, "I liked the part where you and Jack Nicholson were at the beach the most. On a flirting show, he puts his hand in your shirt all at once, and your reaction is absolutely unbelievable."

"Ah...hahahaha..." McLean was amused by Ronald and patted him on the arm.

"Jack Nicholson just likes to make surprise moves. He thinks of many ways to act in advance, and each one is played in a different way, so as to stimulate the opponent's real reaction." Shirley knew that Ronald was a young director, Talking to him about acting was just the right thing to do.

"I don't understand, why you and Deborah?" Ronald gestured to Deborah Wenger in front.

"It's all the director's problem. In fact, the two of us are fine, but the director, Brooks, always likes to create conflicts and competition between the two of us, because in the movie..."

"In the movie, the mother and daughter are in a loving relationship like an enemy?" Ronald understood. It turned out that Director Brooks, like Coppola, deliberately let the actors enter a relationship similar to the character, so that their reaction, It's all natural.

It's just that the side effects are too great, making the two actors look like enemies.

When Shirley and Ronald were chatting and laughing, they found that they were more compatible, Shirley sent him an invitation, "Whether I can win an Oscar or not, you must come to my birthday party next month, I think you are too Interesting."

"Okay, I'll definitely go, but I'm very confident in you, I'll get it tonight."

"Don't make my expectations too high, best actress is a late award, don't make me wait three hours too excited and then come back disappointed."

"Won't……"

In the meantime, the lights dimmed, and the live orchestra was a black conductor, Quincy Jones, the producer of Michael Jackson's album.

He conducts the band, starting from "Return of the Jedi", and sings the theme songs of last year's high-grossing films.

The host, still Johnny Carson, stepped up to the front.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the scene of the 16th Academy Awards ceremony..."
