Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 484
Not everyone, like Ronald, dislikes packing parties.For the director, the packing party is just a temporary break, and he will soon start the hard work of editing and mixing.

But for actors, packing parties are a rare occasion for wild celebrations.Especially for actors like Elizabeth Sue, she will continue to study at Harvard. "Longwei Kid" was like an amazing experience, and she drank quite a bit of champagne at the party.

"Elizabeth, do you want to continue working in Hollywood? Just follow me, and you will have the leading role." Chad McQueen, the second-generation star, drank too much at the party and began to harass Elizabeth Sue.

This kind of high-achieving Harvard student is a novel challenge for him.Unlike those pretty girls who aspire to a career in Hollywood, this one has real brains.

"Don't move, stay away from her." Pat Johnson came over and separated him and Su.This is a martial artist with a sense of justice, and he doesn't rely on making money in the film and television industry.

"Okay, okay..." Chad McQueen took a step back, "This party is too bad, I'm going to a better one, Stallone's, whoever wants to go, follow me."

"Yeah, Sly." A few second-generation star buddies called Stallone's nickname, and went to the party held by Stallone with him noisily.

"Hi, Sly. I'm Chad and my dad is Steve McQueen." Chad McQueen arrives drunk at the new party location, but he's still a little sane enough to know he's just a dead superstar The son of the party is not the same as Clint Eastwood's son, so first find the party host to say hello.

"Hi, hello, what have you been up to?" Stallone turned around and gave Chad a hug.This kid's father, Steve McQueen, is an action superstar. It can be said that he has opened up a path for an action-oriented actor like himself, so that Stallone still has a little respect.

"I've just finished filming a movie 'The Dragon Boy', which is very similar to your 'Rocky'. It's an inspirational counterattack story." Chad chatted quickly, and he didn't have much experience talking with Stallone.

"Really, hehe." Stallone immediately put Chad aside and went to greet other people, "Hello..."

"Um..." Chad, who was making fun of himself, focused on all kinds of beauties at the party.

"Go and inquire about that little boy Ronald's new movie." Stallone knew that this was Ronald Lee's new movie that he didn't like very much, so he whispered something to the agent beside him.

"The filming just finished. It was invested by an amateur record company owner. I guess he was deceived by the director..." The manager is also from CAA. He knew about Ronald's project and reported it to Stallone in detail.

Stallone has a half-smile on his face (he can't smile because of nerve damage in one side of his cheek), as he enjoys more and more power as the hottest action star in Hollywood for the past two years.

The little boy who heard that the woman his brother liked ran away made a new film, which is probably just another bad exploitation film.Want to copy the story of your own screenwriter's famous "Rocky"?When the time comes, let him see what a leading male star is, hehe...

Stallone found a beautiful woman with a great temperament at the party, "Who is that?"

The agent who was reporting the situation of "Longwei Kid" was stunned by this sudden turn, "Ah...hey, is that woman with short brown hair? It's Rachel Ward. An Australian. The one next to her is her boyfriend Brian Brown, also an actor."

The professionalism of the agent brought him back to his senses, and he reported the names and resumes of the actress and the man next to her.

"Hi, Rachel, welcome to my party." Stallone got the beauty's name, stepped forward and warmly hugged Ward.

"Hi, Sly, this is my boyfriend, Brian. We just got engaged."

"Engaged?" Stallone's interest was greatly reduced. There are many meanings of engagement in Hollywood, some of which mean marriage, but the official wedding has not yet been held. "

However, Stallone took another look at Rachel Ward. This beautiful woman has a very slender appearance, and there is indeed a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, which makes Stallone have a different feeling.

"When you break up, you can come to me." Stallone handed Rachael Ward a business card of his agent, and then left gracefully.

"Hahaha..." Beauty Ward was amused, and put the business card in her small bag.

"Hi," Ward's engaged boyfriend, Brian, is a very strong man. He snatched the business card, tore it up three times, and threw it on the ground. "Do you still want to date him?"

"You?" Rachael Ward was a little annoyed when she saw her boyfriend's gaffe. This level of harassment is very common in Hollywood. "He is a big star in Hollywood, I just got a contact information."

"Do you want to be with him?" Brian was a little drunk, and threw his glass to the ground.The Australian's blunt temper, combined with the angry part of the Irish blood, played a role in throwing Rachael Ward away.

Annoyed, Rachel's eyes were a little red. She looked at the fragments of the business card on the ground, and the look from the side, took out her sunglasses, put them on, and left without looking back.

……

Early the next morning, Ronald arrived at the airport with his luggage.He was wearing a handmade suit, a pair of boat shoes on his feet, clean-shaven, neatly combed hair, and dressed like a top student from an Ivy League school.

"Sir, by the window or by the aisle."

"aisle"

Weintraub sent a first-class ticket, and Ronald was able to enjoy better service.He got into the plane early, sat down and took out a book to read.

"Sorry, can I go in?" Rachael Ward appeared on the same flight, wearing big sunglasses to cover her face, and asked Ronald politely.

"Ah, of course", Ronald stood up, helped Ward put the luggage on it, and then stepped aside to let Rachel Ward go in and sit by the window.

Didn't see the face under the big sunglasses, Ronald only felt that her figure seemed a little familiar, and she walked with a good temperament.He turned to look at his book again.

As the plane flew into the sky, Rachel Ward rarely saw a man who was as indifferent to his appearance as Ronald. She turned her head to see what books Ronald was reading, and she was more attractive than herself. .

"A Journey to the Sunset Strip - An Analysis of Billy Wilder's Movies"

"Are you a film school student? Is this your homework?" Rachel Ward asked Ronald, taking off her sunglasses.

"Ah, no. I've already dropped out of school. But it doesn't stop me from watching movies. This book is very interesting. It uses Billy Wilder's movies to analyze his scheduling." Ronald was reading it enthusiastically, When asked, he looked to the side.

"I've never read a book on analyzing directors." Ward looked at Ronald with a smile on her face. She had a nice smile, and her eyes were curiously searching, with a sense of innocence.

"You're not that..." Ronald remembered where he had seen this face, no wonder he was wearing sunglasses.

"You were Maggie in 'The Thorn Birds'" Ronald thought of her, the beauty who had played that miniseries with Barbara Stanwyck and had long hair in "The Thorn Birds".

"Rachel Ward," Ward and Ronald shake hands.

"Oh, I'm Ronald Lee. I'm a film director."

"Yeah, of course." Rachel Ward suddenly lost interest in this Ronald, and lied about being a movie director at such a young age, or recognized that he was a movie actor.

Ronald made fun of himself and started reading Billy Wilder again.

"Ronnie!" Arriving at JFK Airport in New York, Ronald saw that it was his high school boy, Douglas Hansen Jr., who came to pick him up.

"Doug," the two friends embraced warmly.

"Crack, click!" Many reporters rushed to take photos.

Ronald looked in the direction where they were taking pictures, and it turned out that it was Rachel Ward sitting next to him, leaving with a blond man.

"David! Rachel! Are you rekindled?"

"Are you guys going to collaborate on a movie?"

"No, I'm just here to pick up a good friend. Please leave some space," the man greeted the gossip reporters.Those gossip reporters even put away their cameras.

"Who is he?" Ronald became curious. The reporter seemed to respect him a lot. The blond man's young face was full of pride.

Douglas Jr. pointed to the sign at the exit.

"Kennedy?" Ronald saw the sign for JFK International Airport.

"Yes, David, the former Attorney General, the son of the assassinated Robert Kennedy. Like his cousin John Jr., he is a frequent visitor to the disco in Manhattan."

Douglas Jr. drove Ronald back to his apartment in lower Manhattan.

"Donna, have you decided which university to go to?" Little Douglas looked at Donna with a smile, "Why don't you come to my Columbia, and don't go to New York University that doesn't have a campus like your brother."

"Ronnie," Donna came up first and hugged Ronald, "I prefer Harvard and MIT."

"MIT, Harvard, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Douglas Jr.'s family did not send him to a prestigious school in New England, but only let him accumulate contacts in New York City.

Ronald is happy, Donna is a top female student, and ordinary people can't compare to her.

"How about it, do you think it's better for us to accept this condition, or find a lawyer and an accountant to negotiate with them?" Ronald told Doug about the "Night of the Comet" and asked for his opinion as an investor. .

"I don't know. If I had to choose, I would choose to take the money and leave."

"why?"

"Don't worry, anyway, I don't invest in your movie to make money. My grandfather is very happy to be able to make a profit. He said that I am the person in the third generation of the family who can find business opportunities in play."

"Um, this is saying good things about you... right?" Ronald was completely speechless.

"I'm a member of the family. For us, it's not necessary for us to understand everything, as long as we have professional knowledge and be friends with capable people." Little Doug smiled happily, "My grandpa said it."

"Actually, I'm even happier that your movie has made me famous, and I can meet more female stars in the future. They won't turn a blind eye to me at parties, hehehe."
