Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Where's your Aunt Karen?"

"She went to Yosemite with her new boyfriend."

Ronald received a small, Douglas Hansen at the airport, and he made a special trip to join Ronald to participate in the investment in the "Evil Husband" project.

At that time, the two made a verbal agreement that Ronald had the right to invest the same share of the film that Ronald participated in the investment.

The Jerry Zucker trio carefully calculated each scene and came up with a $9 million budget.

Ronald went to his accountant, Lawrence, to read it. Except for some of the usual Hollywood inflated costs, the Zach trio didn't bother Ronald too much.

Ronald took out the whole year of shooting advertisements, mv, and dividends, plus selling a little stock, collected $750,000, plus Douglas Jr.'s $750,000, the two made a hundred Five hundred thousand, plus the $1.5 million from Zach's trio production company, and the six million from Touchstone's screen fund, made up the budget.

Douglas Jr. also promised that if the crew exceeded the standard, he could make up the investment.

"cheers!"

Jerry Zucker looked at Ronald, very satisfied. He did not compete with himself for the priority of investment, but also brought in this rich fool, who would rather guarantee all risks than take the final dividend right.

"cheers!"

Douglas Jr. looked at Ronald Jr. and was very satisfied. He actually allowed himself to be involved in the touchstone, no, it was actually a Disney project. He also hired well-known comedy director Zach to guide him. Who can grab this opportunity? Not only did he facilitate the filming of the movie, but he could also be named a co-producer, and he would become a real Hollywood insider in the future.

"Who will be the male and female protagonists in our movie?" Little Douglas was very happy and immediately began to play the role of producer.

"If the budget is sufficient, we plan to try to invite Jack Nicholson for the male lead. The female lead also hopes to find a topical and popular person, and it doesn't matter if it is outside the circle." Jerry Zucker's eyes flashed A bit of joy.

Unexpectedly, not only is he a rich fool, but this fool is also a movie enthusiast. Anyway, if he can figure it out, he will go to the big-name actors.

"Jack Nicholson is good! How much does he want?" Little Douglas was overjoyed. If there are well-known actors, there will be topics, and the media can promote it for free.

"For a mere four million dollars,

You can ask him to be the protagonist. We can modify the script for him. "Jerry Zucker saw that the other party was really interested, and immediately began to lobby.

Ronald stepped on little Doug lightly.

"Four million is too expensive, and it doesn't match the heroine's temperament in the original script. If the heroine can use an outsider, why not try Madonna? She is very famous now, especially after Ronnie filmed which MV for her. She As a newcomer in the film industry, the salary should not be high."

"This is a good candidate. Let's find her agent." Jerry Zucker quickly calmed down when he heard the salary, and put out his mind.

"How is my performance?" High school classmates and wrestling club friends, Douglas Jr. and Ronald still had a tacit understanding. He felt that Zac was trying to fool himself, and immediately turned around.

Several people then went to the joint interview meeting for the film project.

"Very good, your proposal is actually good. Madonna has an annoying temperament. If she can bring out this temperament, I think she can act well." Ronald also thinks that this choice is OK, although his acting skills are not good. , but she is very hot now.

"This is the main creator of this film, Ronald Lee, Jerry Zucker... This is the film's investor and co-producer, Mr. Douglas Hansen Jr." Touchstone's executive producer , began to introduce the reporters who participated in the interview.

"Excuse me, Mr. Hansen, according to my information, it is your first time to participate in Hollywood investment. Why did you participate in this film?"

"It's because of the great script, and because I especially like Zach's films. I'm sure they'll be successful again."

"Jerry, will this film still be a comedy with a lot of laughs and a lot of parody?"

"This time it's going to be different. We're not going to do it the traditional way of farce. Ronald and I discussed it for a long time, and we decided to make it a different kind of comedy."

"Excuse me, Ronald. What do you think of the coverage of the Hollywood Boys?"

"This does not belong to the scope of this film, please ask questions related to this film." The executive producer of Touchstone interrupted immediately.

"Excuse me, will Touchstone Pictures be a distribution and production entity independent of Disney?"

...

"Why do you still ask the boy gang?" The executive producer of Touchstone was very dissatisfied with the reporter and drew a thick line on his name.

"Everyone is in a rut now, trying to avoid getting in touch with the Boys Gang. Reporters must ask questions that have been communicated in advance. He also saw hot news there and no one answered." Ronald said a good word for the reporter.

"There's no way, that big shit Emilio, now Hollywood is messing with him, and no one is willing to give in-depth interviews. That shit reporter has also completely destroyed the mutual trust between the media and Hollywood.

Not only will he not want anyone to agree to his interviews in the future, but now all entertainment reporters, including people from studios like me, feel that in the future interviews in Hollywood, they can only ask irrelevant questions. "

...

"You idiot. Now everyone is eager to clear their relationship with you, and you still want to find Tom Cruise, Sean Penn and the others to clean up your relationship?"

When Martin Sheen saw his eldest son, he actually went to a public relations company, delusionally trying to find a few good people named in the "Boy Gang" to correct his name, and by the way attack the reporter David Bloom who wrote the report.

"Don't you know that journalists like you to quarrel with them the most? Your PR manager, didn't you remind you?"

"Tom and Sean, they were on my side on the phone. That reporter David Bloom was talking nonsense and distorting our image, why can't I fight back?" Emilio was still stubborn.

Martin Sheen, as an old Jianghu, is of course well aware of the sinister consequences of doing so. The eldest son, Emilio, is very stupid. After making two blockbuster movies, he thought he was a star.

Those actors who are more popular than him are all his competitors. He has not yet seen clearly who is the real friend and who is the real enemy in this game.

"If you want to do it, use your own money. I'm not going to sign a check for your special PR campaign." Emilio makes a lot of money, but his expenses are also high, if Martin Sheen doesn't give money , he couldn't afford the PR.

"Emilio, if you want to be brave, you have to rely on yourself." The younger brother Charlie Sheen supplemented the knife next to him.

"Humph!"

Emilio was in chaos, and his future was bright, and now many of the movie invitations he originally sent have been withdrawn. If you can't get a new role, your expenses will far exceed your income.

The restaurants and hotels that used to be free of orders just by relying on the star's name now have to be settled now. If you want to maintain a decent life as a star, your savings is rapidly depleting, and there is a fixed monthly payment of $2,000 for the woman... If it breaks, the woman will come out again.

"You can do it yourself." Martin Xin ran away with regret. The eldest son was the best among the children. He had to show his old face and ask Emilio for a role among his old friends.

"If you want me to tell you, you either come out and admit your mistake now..." Charlie Sheen gave his brother a bad idea by the side.

"Well..." Emilio was angry, why did he become the biggest target and was madly sprayed. Other people in the boy gang may not be more disciplined in their private lives than they are. It is normal to rely on celebrities to take advantage of them. Everyone in Hollywood does this. As for acting, you don't need to study acting so much when making a movie, and it's not a live performance in the theater.

It is impossible to admit mistakes. Once you admit mistakes, it is impossible to become the leader of the new generation of stars.

"Either?" Emilio heard something in his brother Charlie's words.

"Or, you can find a bigger target for the media."

"A bigger target..."

"Demi, you did a good job telling me about Emilio's movements this time. When he is confused like this again, you must inform me as soon as possible." Martin Sheen found Emilio's girlfriend. If it wasn't for Demi secretly tipping off the news and Emilio secretly looking for a public relations operation, it would have been a big joke again.

"I love him, I just hope he doesn't do stupid things." Demi was very graceful in front of her future father-in-law.

After seeing Martin Sheen out, Demi came back secretly and overheard the brothers chatting through the door.

"Who can I turn to to divert the media's attention?" Emilio knew about this younger brother. Although he was not as good as himself in acting, he was a bit tricky.

"Among people of your age, who do you think is the most popular right now and can help you share the firepower of the media?"

Charlie Sheen gave some hints and went out.

"Demi," Charlie Sheen nodded to Demi.

"Charlie," Demi jumped several meters away from the door when she heard the movement just now, pretending to be just back.

"Fuck," Emilio scolded, tore a piece of paper from the note, picked up his wallet and was about to go out, "I'll go and discuss with Rob Law."

"You come back early."

Demi cursed inwardly, saying that she was discussing with Rob Law, and she didn't know that she was going to date that female fan again.

Seeing Emilio walking away, she double-checked on the desk, trying to find out who was the target that attracted firepower just discussed.

"Huh?" Demi noticed that there were some traces left by the torn piece of paper on the sticky note.

She quickly picked up the notepad and carefully changed the angle to the light, trying to find traces.

"r...o...n...lee"

"Is it Ronald?" Demi thought it was funny, this Emilio's brain is not very clear, Ronald is the director, what competition does he have with him? He was chosen to attract firepower out of jealousy.

"But his stupidity, isn't it just his chance?" She rolled her eyes, picked up her bag, and hurried to the phone booth two blocks away, and made a call.

"Hey... Ronnie. I'm Demi, and Emilio seems to be pulling you into the water..."
