Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

"Because I think that as a producer, I can modify the shooting time." Diane held a cup of re-brewed wolfberry black tea and handed it to Ronald.But this time the water temperature for making tea was too low, and the goji berries hadn't boiled yet.

Ronald was already desperate for Diane's cooking skills, but Diane like this was quite cute.Anyway, I'm not one of those men who really depend on their wives to cook, it's good that Diane has this thought, let's find a chef to provide meals.

Well, there is also coffee, and I have to buy a fully automatic coffee machine...

"Of course, the producer can propose to modify the shooting time, but this involves a lot of costs. In many cases, even if the casting of the film is not suitable, the film has to be shot, instead of waiting for the suitable actor to be available. , because of this, after all, movies are a business..."

Ronald took two sips of tea, put down his cup, and hugged Diane, "If you want to learn film production, you can wait for Polly Platt to come back and learn from her. If you want to be a producer and participate in the follow-up Sharing, I can transfer the sharing rights of some of my movies to you.

You are still a popular actor now, so you don't need to be so anxious to go behind the scenes.Honey. "

Ronald rubbed Diane's waist lightly, he was a little suspicious, whether he had spent too little time with Diane, which made her think something.

"Well, don't move..." Diane turned around, avoiding Ronald's hand touching her abdomen.

"What's the matter?" Ronald thought to himself, did he guess right, Diane had an opinion about him?

"Let me tell you, I'm pregnant." Diane was very sweet in her heart, and stopped going around in circles with Ronald.Ronnie has fulfilled all his fantasies about his husband in every way, he is dependent on himself in everything, and he is very capable.

"Huh?" Ronald was stunned for a moment. Is he going to be a father?
"I went to the hospital for an examination, and it was confirmed. This little thing didn't cause any adverse reactions to my mother. It's because I didn't come on the date..." Diane touched his lower abdomen, and it was still flat now.

But when it comes to the original launch date, that's not going to be the time to wear those revealing outfits.

"Honey, why don't you talk? Are you unhappy?"

"Ah..." Ronald came back to his senses. After having a child, he suddenly felt a mysterious connection with this land and the people around him, and all kinds of feelings came to his heart.

"Of course I'm happy, I'm crazy..." Ronald laughed loudly, wanting to hug Diane in a circle, but he quickly put it down after holding Diane halfway, letting Diane sit on the sofa, and he just kept giggling.

"Let me hear, is there anything going on? Is he going to kick you?"

"Don't be stupid, what's going on now..." Diane chuckled and stroked Ronnie's hair.I didn't expect him to like children so much.

"I'll discuss with Disney about that movie and postpone it until next year... Well, if you want to act." Ronald looked at Diane, feeling a little more tenderness on her face, and suddenly missed her Play this role again.

"Hee hee", Diane made a small test and got the answer she wanted, "Forget it, I don't want to play this role anymore. When our children grow up and see their mother play such a role, I always feel that Something is wrong..."

"Yeah..." Ronald nodded quickly and sincerely, it's best not to act.

"However, I don't want to act for...", Diane is still very sensitive about this, if Helen Slater gets this role, she will not be reconciled.

"I'll let you recommend the new heroine..." Ronald thought that Helen's acting skills were beyond her ability.

……

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news to announce."

Ronald was so happy that he wanted to announce the good news to those close to him. He ran to the room of Nisita and others next door and announced to them, "Diane is pregnant."

"Oh, congratulations..." Paula Wagner is Diane's manager, of course she needs to know these things, and she was the first to come up to congratulate Ronald.

"Oh, what should I pay attention to when I'm pregnant for the first time?" Ronald was already over excited.

"Don't worry, we will make arrangements." This time Diane confirmed that she was pregnant, because Ronald was busy here, and she didn't even tell her agent, but now Paula had to make all-round arrangements.

"Oh my god, I'm going to call my aunt..."

Ronald, who was in a state of ecstasy, quickly jumped out of the room again.

"Puchi..." Seeing Ronald like this, Paula Wagner thought of the old days between herself and Nisita.

"Hello, Aunt Karen, what time is it at your place? I'm sorry to wake you up, what? Nothing unexpected, on the contrary, I have good news for you, Diane is pregnant."

In ecstasy, Ronald directly called his aunt who continued to travel around the world. She was playing in Tokyo, and she was very happy when she received Ronald's call.

"Hahaha, let's go to bed first... You can call tomorrow." Diane talked to Aunt Karen, and then pulled Ronald with a smile after hanging up the phone.

"Sleep after calling Donna, anyway, that's all we have to tell." Ronald finished the phone call in ecstasy, and carefully fell asleep with his arms around Diane.

……

"This is my very good friend, Mr. Gamp, can you say hello to him?"

Ronald dreamed of watching a movie again, and on the screen was a blond actress holding a very cute little boy in her arms, talking to a man in a white suit on the left side of the camera.

"Hello, Mr. Gump." The boy looked very smart.

"Hello." The camera pans to the left and cuts an over-the-shoulder shot. Mr. Gump is played by Tom Hanks.His expression was very tense.

"Huh?" Ronald remembered the tone and atmosphere of the movie, the satirical adaptation of "Forrest Gump" that he wanted to buy but was too late.Hanks played this slightly mentally handicapped character, which looked very realistic. In comparison, it was much more difficult than Dustin Hoffman's mentally handicapped Rain Man.

"Can I watch TV?"

"Go ahead and keep your voice down."

The little boy ran to watch TV, while A-Gump continued talking to the woman.

"You're a mother now, Jenny?"

"Yes, I am a mother. His name is Forrest." Jenny said softly.

"Same as me?" Hanks played the expression on Forrest Gump's face, which is very layered.

"Yes, I named him after his father."

"Was his father's name Forrester?"

"You are his father, Forrester."

The camera gave a close-up of Tom Hanks, the kind of surprise, fear, disbelief, and emotional progression layer by layer, which seemed very convincing.Ronald curled his lips. He was also playing a fool. The difficulty of this kind of performance and the ability to empathize with the audience are even more difficult than Rain Man.

Finally, A-Gump asked his biggest fear, whether Little Forrest was mentally normal, and after learning that his son was very intelligent, A-Gump sat by his son's side and watched Sesame Street cartoons together .

A soft variation of the theme song sounded, and the camera cut to the face of the actor playing Jenny, with tears in his eyes, and Ronald was deeply impressed by the gentle look in his eyes looking at the father and son.

"Oh, it's good to have a son." Ronald said in his sleep.

"Ronnie, Ronnie?" Knowing that Ronald would occasionally talk in his sleep, Diane pushed him gently.

"Ah? What's wrong?" Ronald was startled when he was pushed awake.

"You're talking in your sleep, saying it's nice to have a son."

"Hahaha, what I said is true, I'm so happy."

"You don't know if it's a boy or a girl?"

"It's okay, I'm happy." Ronald hugged Diane tightly again, thinking that he had dreamed about this movie twice, and it seemed that he was not destined to end up with him. He would ask another day if he bought it. copyright possible.

……

"Sarah Jessica Parker stated that her mother is not Jewish, but she grew up in a Jewish environment and is very familiar with Jewish customs and cultural traditions, so she considers herself a Jew.

She also said that in the next step, she will focus on the filming of TV dramas, and will not consider movies for the time being, unless there are good roles. "

"CAA President Michael Ovitz was interviewed by The New York Times in response to the paper's last article.

I'm an agent who started my Hollywood career as a tour guide at MCA Universal Studios, and all I do is find ways for all parties to work together that they can agree on, just like finding attractions they like for tourists back then.

If I do anything differently than others, it's because my projects are generally larger and more complex than others. "

What Ovitz promised was fulfilled one by one, so Ronald also fulfilled his promise and arranged two interviews for him.

"Mr. Li, we can start..."

A Jewish hostess interrupted Ronald, who was watching the TV news.

She looked at Ronald who had been manipulated by the makeup artist, and invited him with a smile, and the two of them were about to start an exclusive interview.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Ronald coughed, and was interviewed at the other end of the camera, still a little unaccustomed to himself.

"Why don't we start with Dirty Dancing, your favorite movie with women and mine, how did you come up with the idea of ​​filming a Jewish girl in the 1960s? Why are you so sure, now audiences would love a retro movie."

"It started when the screenwriter Eleanor came to me. I fell in love with the script as soon as I saw it. I like the heroine Baby very much. She is the first generation of modern women who awaken female consciousness..." Ronald began to brag At that time, how could I have a good eye for the pearls, and then put my personal wealth on it, and supported the filming with my own financial resources when others were not optimistic about it.

"However, the stereotype of Jewish people is that they can perform, play musical instruments, settle accounts, and study well. Few Jewish girls have the reputation of being good at dancing." The hostess led the topic in the agreed direction.

"I think you're right, your question is the answer, it's a stereotype, who says Jewish girls can't dance? I think screenwriter Eleanor was the first to object..."

Following the cooperating host, Ronald explained his creative ideas. Jewish girls are usually regarded as unattractive, restrained, and not sexy enough. Ronald wanted to break this impression.All races, in America, will find their chances...

Jewish girls can be sexy, they can dance well, and they can win the hearts of the most handsome boys in the crowd.

At the end of the interview, even the hostess believed that not only could Ronald not be anti-Semitic, but he was the director who single-handedly created the most typical image of Jewish girls in the 80s. He must have had a Jewish girlfriend, otherwise he would not have made this ethnic group Girls, they are so beautified.

"The manuscripts of several newspapers and magazines will also appear in the newspapers on the weekend..." Richard came to show Ronald the interview arrangement.These interviews are all deliberately making Ronald a friend of America who loves Jews and sympathizes with them.

"Very well, you can arrange it for me, I have to go back to accompany Diane."

In the past two days, Ronald has greatly reduced his working hours, and returned to the hotel early every day to meet Diane.

"Say Diane for me." Richard put away the file with a smile.Ronald can enjoy the world of two, he still has a lot of work to do.

Disney learned of the news of Diane's withdrawal from the project, and has come to urge Luo N to start casting and confirm the director as soon as possible.

The original female director, Penny Marshall, also withdrew from the project because her favorite Diane withdrew.This project has been delayed long enough. Now that the heroine has withdrawn, she doesn't want to do it anymore. Ronald is now sticking to Diane every day, leaving everything behind. Do you still want to pursue artistic pursuits?

Ronald didn't care about Penny Marshall's anger, and he introduced her to the studio's top executives to promote the film projects he really liked to make.

"The case of Texas vs. Johnson has begun a Supreme Court retrial. This case has aroused the joint attention of the commander-in-chief and the two parties."

Ronald, who was about to go home, saw the news on TV again.

"This case is related to the definition of speech in the First Amendment. During the campaign, the commander-in-chief expressed opposing views with his opponent Dukakis. Dukakis said yes, but the commander-in-chief said no."

A video of the Grand Commander participating in an event in New York at the time appeared on the TV. "This is a symbol of our country, and it is a symbol of the people expressing patriotism. I want to say that our middle schools must have the Stars and Stripes."

"You know what they're talking about?" Ronald hadn't cared about the case, and it seemed that the public's attention was high.

"This is Texas vs. Johnson. The guy named Johnson burned the Stars and Stripes in protest. The Texas court imposed a fine of $2000 and a year in prison. The guy's lawyer appealed all the way. After four years, he finally The case went to the Supreme Court."

"Ah? Then what does he have to do with the First Amendment?" Ronald couldn't quite understand this kind of person who burned the Stars and Stripes.

"His lawyer believes that burning the Stars and Stripes is also a kind of speech, which is protected by the First Amendment. And I heard that in the Supreme Court, the conservative justices who were nominated by the previous leader intend to support Johnson this time... "Richard, like most people in Hollywood, is more liberal.

"Uh...", Ronald scratched his head, sounding very complicated.These people are busy with this kind of case every day, no wonder people's support for the Supreme Court has dropped sharply.

"If this case is won, we will be much more relaxed in the future." The hostess was also watching the news and said a word.

"What do you mean? Why does this case let you loose?" Ronald seemed to have caught some inspiration.

"You see, this kind of behavior is all speech and is not restricted. Then, there can be a lot of marginal content in TV programs, and it will not be considered offensive."

"But if you do this, won't the audience be disgusted?" Ronald felt that even if the law allowed, burning the Stars and Stripes on the TV station would definitely cause dissatisfaction among many audiences.

"Maybe, it's actually an act of protest, and I don't think you should be too allergic to it." The hostess shrugged. She was very supportive of actions against the Federation since the Vietnam War.

"Hmm..." Ronald rubbed his chin, maybe the scale of the TV show might be enlarged again.
