Exploiting Hollywood 1980

The Queen seemed to see something wrong, and immediately told Ronald that if he had any ideas about joining British citizenship, just call a liaison officer at MI6. Regarding the 007 movie, someone will take the initiative to contact him to discuss the copyright issue in Britain. Ronald only needs to get this matter done.

"This is a bit fucking crazy, MI6, 007, is this all true? Are you really a descendant of the British royal family?" After the royal meeting, Whitney Houston felt that her head was about to explode. Today, many people she thought were The urban legends are all true.

"Ian Fleming's novels are based on prototypes, and I think those institutions must exist. However, Ronald, are you a descendant of the British royal family? Really?" Kevin Costner also felt magical, and he I know so many famous people, but I never thought that Ronald would have this status. The only person who has a relationship between Hollywood and the European royal family is Grace Kelly, who married the King of Monaco many years ago.

"Nah, that's not the case. My grandfather, he met my grandmother in London, and after they had my father, my grandfather died fighting the Luftwaffe on the coast of Germany. After that, my father returned to America. , so I have no contact with my relatives on my grandmother’s side.

In fact, my grandmother is not a descendant of the royal family. She is from the Earl Spencer family. That's Princess Diana's maiden name. Of course, Earl Spencer goes all the way back and is also a king, but of course that doesn't count.

I discovered this by accident when I went to London for the first time to attend a film premiere. You know Princess Diana was a person who was very willing to communicate with civilians, so she would just joke with me sometimes..."

Ronald's mind was still spinning at high speed, and he glanced at Richard a few times. At the same time, he also has to deal with two curious babies, Costner and Whitney Houston.

Although Americans have been educated on the concepts of democracy and republic since childhood, European immigrant families also tell some stories about kings, and Hollywood has filmed countless stories about princes and princesses, so children have always thought of the royal family since they were young. Bloodline is a very noble thing.

Everyone has seen Hollywood producers, but the prince has never seen many live ones.

"Please, please don't tell anyone, it's really embarrassing for me. I've been proud to be an American all my life, and this makes me feel really weird. I started my career as a kid who was nothing. Please don't spread the word as if my success has anything to do with that grandmother I've never met..."

Ronald entered the hotel and told Whitney Houston not to tell her secret to her friends.

"OK, your secret is safe with me." Both she and Costner immediately said that they would not spread it randomly.

"Hey, Robin, do you know who I met today? It's the queen, the fucking queen, and the prince and princess. You won't believe it. I found out today that there is another person from the royal family..." As a result, as soon as he entered the door, Whitney started gossiping about her best friend, Robin Crawford, who she grew up with. Anyway, it should be okay to tell Robin.

"Oh, Cindy, you would never have imagined what I discovered today. Can you imagine? Ronald is actually Princess Diana's cousin. He also refused the Queen's invitation to become a British citizen. I have never I am not as proud as I am today to be an American citizenA4..."

…

"You know, telling them two means telling everyone in Hollywood, right?" Richard entered Ronald's room and asked as soon as he closed the door.

"Of course, this is part of the plan. Didn't you say that someone is rumoring that I have Chinese ancestry, and then they also say that I am a spy? If such information is released, it will definitely trump that rumor. When I premiere the royal family tomorrow, Arrange a few familiar reporters to ask questions..."

"OK, I'll do it right away." Richard picked up the phone and called Lindsay Dole, who was staying in the office in New York, and informed him of the news of finding Ronald and releasing his true ancestry.

"Now, you can tell me what's going on..." After Richard finished the call, Ronald handed him a cup of coffee because he couldn't get through the phone on the private plane. Baba’s running has been a hard journey. In the end, he broke into the Queen's "highly guarded" Buckingham Palace. In ancient times, he was also a warrior who broke into the palace, and he took it into consideration. Especially the Queen's comment that she wished she had a subordinate like Richard, which made Ronald very satisfied with his agent's loyalty.

"I received two requests for confirmation that day, from the Dallas Morning News and the Atlanta Journal. They said there was a report about your life experience, saying that you had a Chinese-American background, and asked for confirmation.

They said it came from an anonymous submission, but the editor thought you were a famous Hollywood director and worthy of reporting, so he called to confirm.

I asked them for the proofs of their report about you. The content in it was flimsy, without any witnesses or evidence, but the content was very hot. The writing style looked like that of a Hollywood gossip tabloid. The audience loved to read it..."

Ronald took a fax document that Richard took out from his briefcase, which contained a report about his life experience.

There are many stories written on it, mainly about Ronald's father's mysterious life experience and the characteristics of Oriental people in the photos. Moreover, Ronald himself was very interested in going to China and had gone there to collaborate very early. His "Break Dance" was also one of the first imported films after the reintroduction of Hollywood films there, and it gained national reputation.

They also interviewed Kerkorian, the Las Vegas casino tycoon and owner of MGM, who said that he did have the idea to ask Ronald to serve in a joint venture he planned to set up in China to issue products there. Hollywood movies, although Ronald was still under thirty years old at the time, he had quite a network there and was very capable of getting things done...

In addition, Director Huang's "Hi, Frank" starring Gregory Peck also received co-production treatment there, a treatment previously only available to Italian left-wing director Bertolucci.

In addition, according to some staff members who participated in the filming of Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun", Ronald was very happy there. There were many places that no one else could go to, but only him. Ronald can also visit the large area next to it without any hindrance.

And that's not all. Ronald also has a business there to jointly produce film lighting products. It is said that it involves certain key technologies that only their factory can provide...

"Does this last sentence imply that there will be more revelations and series of reports?" Ronald asked Richard, pointing to the last unfinished story.

"It's true. On the same day, Ed Bastian, who was busy working at the talk show TV station, received a whistleblower call. The whistleblower wanted to join this TV station. He said he had information about your life experience and your lightning. Some people are making TV reports on some things at the lamp factory. The final conclusion is that you may be a spy, just like the Israeli spy a few years ago. One hand steals American advanced technology and the other hand serves as a propaganda machine for Chinese culture. …

He came to me right away and told me that there were two of us and this was a big conspiracy against you. There is obviously a plan and he will reveal rumors that are not good for you according to a fixed rhythm.

We estimate that the first step regarding your life experience is from the perspective of gossip and curiosity. If we deny it, then the second step will start from your business and some courtesy received on the other side of the Pacific, which will arouse people's greater suspicion..."

"Huh!" Ronald laughed angrily. Isn't this a thief shouting to catch a thief? The captured Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, who was lurking in the CIA, not only stole America's military intelligence, but also passed the blueprints of advanced weapons to fellow Jews.

On the other hand, Enon Milchan, the owner of Hollywood's Ambassador Pictures, later renamed Regent Pictures, was a semi-open Israeli Mossad spy. Here to promote some of the dark side of America and tell some good Jewish stories...

His company leads the production of films including "JFK", "Once Upon a Time in America", etc. Most of its films are distributed by Warner Bros. in America, including the recent one that blatantly smeared the former leader of the Elephant Party, George Sr. The dragon ascends to heaven”…

"Ed and I were very nervous. We finally consulted with your most trusted lawyer, Lindsay Dole, and finally Ed went to ask your aunt. Fortunately, the rumors about your life experience in this first step were not true. This time it means Her Majesty the Queen will endorse you..."

"What do you mean, it's lucky that the rumors are not true..." Ronald muttered. Fortunately, he had a routine visit to Princess Diana on this trip, and met Her Majesty the Queen who wanted to see him, so he had this beautiful counterattack.

But damn, these people are really ruthless. This information cannot be pieced together and fabricated in a moment. It must be information about themselves that has been collected and compiled for a long time, and then mixed with some half-truths and half-false rumors.

In this way, those who are familiar with themselves will recognize the facts, and ordinary people will be curious about the fabricated rumors. Indeed, the identity of a spy is the talk of many people...

"Actually, my grandfather was a fighter pilot. He was escorting the bombers that bombed Germany. He had a dogfight with the German fighter jets and eventually fell into the sea and died. You arrange for some people to quietly break the news to the Fleet Street media tomorrow. Wait for us here in Britain. The media reported it and asked Ed to reprint it immediately, and then found other media that were familiar with it and reprinted it.”

"Oh yeah? Damn it, let me see who the hell dares to spread rumors about your patriotism!" When Richard heard this, he immediately burst into confidence. Such a heroic descendant, who would dare to spread rumors that you are a spy? Is your brain broken?

"Do you have any materials?"

"You ask the Department of Veterans Affairs to check...my grandfather was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross..." Ronald reported the names of his grandfather and father to Richard. There must be records of his grandfather's service back then. Damn it, when the secret is revealed like this, two generations of my family sacrificed their lives for the country, and their blood dyed the Stars and Stripes red...

"What the Fxck..." Richard heard that he actually had a decent service record. There were too many liars in Hollywood. He originally expected to have a service record like Michael Cimino, the director of The Deer Hunter, and then exaggerated. Green Berets will do. Who knew there was such a medal as the Distinguished Flying Cross, which cannot be obtained except for extraordinary heroic acts...

"However, your grandfather is such a medal winner, why didn't your father..." Richard felt a little incredible. Generally, the military will give some preferential treatment to the descendants of such heroic soldiers and recruit them for training.

"Hey, this is why I don't want to talk about this. My grandparents didn't have a formal wedding, which means my father is... You understand? He was later sent back to America, and there was no family to help him. He had to rely on his own struggle..."

"I understand. The fucking British aristocrats are hypocritical..." Richard was also surprised many times today. He discussed with Ronald what he could reveal, and then went to find reporters to attend the premiere tomorrow.

...

"Yes, AngLee, I won't go to Berlin. There are urgent things to deal with. I wish you success in Berlin." Ronald began to make arrangements. This matter was more important than anything else. He turned down the trip to the Berlin Film Festival and decided to finish his business in London and return to America immediately.

"Doug, I've been framed. Please help me contact George Jr. I'll meet him when I get back..." Ronald then called Douglas Jr. It was most likely the Jews who were behind this, and he didn't know who it was. Anyway, Enon Milchan of Regent Pictures was the most suspicious because he helped sue him for abusing George Sr.'s image in his movie. He happened to be in the crosshairs of the outgoing president, so he'll start with you...

"I'll contact these bastards right away, and at least ask them to show some respect to the old nobles on the East Coast."

"Is Donna with you? I'll talk to her. My aunt will be worried." Ronald continued.

"She's here, Donna. Your cousin called. He was framed. Don't worry, everything has been handled. He wants you to talk to your aunt and tell her not to worry about any reports she sees..."

Little Doug went to contact Little George to arrange a meeting, and Donna took the microphone, "What can I do for you?"

"Wait until I come back. There may be many government departments involved. If necessary, you can meet the lady who accepted our donation. It should be rewarded..."

The next day, the royal premiere ended, Ronald sent the Queen and her family away, and then started the press conference as planned.

"Whitney, how do you feel about the movie? Will you hold a concert in London?"

"Ah, yes, I am planning to do a global tour with the theme of Bodyguard, and London is of course a very important place..."

"Kevin, some people say that you are the director of this Bodyguard, what do you think about this?"

"This is nonsense, I just made some suggestions..."

"Ronald, there is a report that you are a descendant of the Spencer family and the cousin of Princess Diana, what do you think about this?"

"This is a press conference for the movie Bodyguard, please don't ask me such personal privacy questions, it is disrespectful to the movie." Ronald pretended to be unhappy, and then raised his hand to signal the next reporter to ask.

"Some people say that your grandfather was a fighter pilot and was in love with a British noble lady. What do you think?"

"No comment..."

"If your grandmother is British, would you join British nationality or obtain Commonwealth status? Every time you bring a new movie, you will hold a royal premiere. Is it related to this? Will you be knighted by the Queen?"

"No... No, I can answer this question. I am an American citizen and have no intention of joining other nationalities. Thank you. Then other journalist friends, please ask questions related to the movie, otherwise I will not answer anymore..."

Amid the sound of camera clicking, Whitney Houston came over and said to Ronald, "Ronald, I didn't leak it..."

"I know, it has nothing to do with you. The reporter of the London tabloid has an insider in the royal family..."

The next day, everyone flew back to New York. The newspapers on the plane were all about Ronald's grandmother, the British noble Spencer family.

"The American director has a British grandmother!"

"What happened to the war hero and the noble lady later?"

...

Especially this "Daily Mail", which is a gossip newspaper with a relatively high concentration of facts. It is unknown where they found the photo of Ronald's grandmother. There is no photo of his grandfather, so they used a portrait that looks like Jimmy Stewart (he is a typical American image and also served as a pilot in World War II) instead, and then

"Hey, when I go back, I will find a photo of my grandfather and expose it to the media. This portrait looks like Stewart. It seems wrong that I am his grandson..."

"Ronald..."

After getting off the plane, Ed Bastian and Lindsay Doll were waiting for him at the airport. Ronald said goodbye to the stars and got on a van. There were many newspapers published in the morning on it, and there were also many articles and pages about Ronald's life.

"Great, no one will discuss the rumor this way..." Ronald flipped through it, and the rumor was not reported in any newspaper.

"Facts are the best rumor refutation..." Ed Bastian admired Ronald's decisiveness. It only took him two minutes to listen to what Richard said, and Ronald made the decision immediately. His business acumen and courage were first-class.
