Exploiting Hollywood 1980

   Chapter 525 The handle of love

   "click, click", the photographer continued to finish the rest of the shots.

   Ronald watched from the side and pouted. The photographer herself is a woman, and her aesthetic angle can't capture Diane's **** side, so she just went to a cute angle.

  The photographer is named Albana Navize, a beautiful woman with hair. She has also worked as an actress and model before, and once played a supporting role in the famous **** movie "O's Story".

   Filming is complete, Diane goes to change, Ronald stands by and waits.

  The photographer Navitzer looks at Ronald. His profile was staring into the distance, a slight smile appeared, and he looked at the locker room at the end.

  This angle perfectly shows Ronald's perspective of a bystander, full of thinking and observation, which is exactly in line with his directorship.

   So she also came to Ronald.

   "Oh, did you photograph me?" Ronald asked, "don't forget to send it to me then."

   "You seem to have a different opinion on my shooting." Navize saw Ronald curled his lips, why don't you take a picture? As she spoke, she handed Ronald the 120 medium format camera. Professionals are always tolerant of others looking down on their professional abilities.

  "Ronnie", Diane changed her clothes, wearing a red vest and black trousers, took a puff of cigarette in one hand, then rubbed her short hair dyed blond, "Let's go."

  Ronald flipped the camera's rewind handle and looked at Diane through the viewfinder. In fact, as long as you start from a male point of view, cuteness can immediately become sexy.

   "click", just click the shutter is Ronald's style.

   "Go, stop smoking." Ronald went up and took the cigarette from her hand and threw it in the ashtray. "It's not good for the actor's teeth and lungs. You will have to say long lines in the future."

   "Got it, bro!" Diane hung on Ronald and kissed him.

   "Brother, Ronnie, Brother... Brother Ronnie!...Ah!"

  Diane hugged Ronald tightly, lying on the bed in Ronald's apartment, blushing.

  Ronald rolled over and lay down, wrapping one arm around Diane's neck and rubbing the other slowly on her stomach.

   "Well..." Diane made a comfortable sound like a kitten, and leaned into Ronald's arms, "Don't you think I'm fat? Hee hee hee."

   "You seem to be recovering well, you're not fat now, at most MuffinTop" Ronald smiled while rubbing Diane's slightly protruding belly. "

   "Your Love Handles are not the same." Diane snorted and pinched the sides of Ronald's waist.

   Unlike Diane's fat on the stomach, Ronald's fat appeared on the sides of the waist, slightly raised.

  Dian can be easily grasped, increasing the speed and frequency, so it is also called the handle of love.

  Ronald touched his fat, and sure enough, he continued to shoot to reduce exercise, but it still showed bad results, and he couldn't even laugh at Diane.

   "When are you going to the premiere of 'Rage Streets' in Los Angeles?" Ronald asked, straightening Diane's tousled hair.

"I'm not going." Diane buried his head in Ronald's chest. "The director and the producer exclaimed each other when they saw the film was finished. Their expressions at the time were almost dead. I don't want to lose face."

"You know what? They say that a movie still has to have a story. It seems that only the picture and atmosphere can't make a blockbuster movie." Diane took out a hand and touched the "handle of love", "I knew this earlier, Why don't you write a good story? I pushed the mermaid and made that one cheaper..."

   "Donna said you didn't want to make my director's movie, why?" Ronald, tickled by Diane, also started sliding his hands up and down her smooth back.

"The road to fame that Burt has prepared for me is now the 'Cotton Club'. The peak of the actress is only a few years. If you don't climb to the top, it will be very difficult. I kind of don't want to be an actor, I I want to meet my mother and learn about her life." Diane stroked Ronald's waist.

   "Don't you blame her for 'kidnapping' you back then?" Ronald was agitated, sat up and hugged Diane, and the two looked at each other.

"Forget it, she also wants to control my acting career. Now I can hardly find any acting. She is my mother after all. I want to get along with her and see if it works out. I used to see Donna with your aunt. Such a mother is enviable."

   "Really?" The hot air from Ronald's breath was sprayed on Diane's nose, and she couldn't help hugging Ronald's head, "Come again."

   After a long time, Diane lay contentedly on the bed and fell asleep.

   Ronald sneaked to the study, turned on the computer, connected the phone line, and after a squeak, the modem was connected to the Internet.

   After a while of downloading, Ronald opened the BBS reader, and in the movie section, he finally found a post commenting on "Break Dance".

   "Last Saturday night, I had the unfortunate experience of seeing 'Break Dance', one of the worst movies ever made.

   This is a so-called dance movie. While there's some good dancing, it doesn't make up for the dull acting, cheap sets, horrible script, decadent director, and poor camera work.

   Even the dance shots are poorly filmed and the entire dance process is often missed.

   The audience (in Chicago) who watched this movie with me kept laughing in disgust. Shockingly, they didn't tear down the theater out of anger, or at least demand a refund (I think this review is helping me vent some of my grievances.

  Obviously, I advise everyone not to watch it. But for those of you still sticking with the movie, you'll be happy to know that at the end of the movie, a sequel was also announced.

  Professor, University of Chicago. "

   "What, it's obviously a good-looking movie that you, a professor, can't empathize with the common people. Didn't the audience laugh happily?" Ronald angrily closed the post.

   It seems that those who use BBS now are all high-level intellectuals, those real audiences, who have no chance to speak up.

   "Once Upon a Time in America, the masterpiece is about to be released."

   Ronald scrolled down and saw the professor's post again. He praised the Cannes premiere of "Once Upon a Time in America," which was very beautiful and literary, and was rejected entirely because Europeans suppressed pure American stories.

   On the weekend of June 1st, he will go to the cinema on time to see this masterpiece.

   It seems that cultural people still like this kind of movie with "deep meaning", and don't like this kind of exploitative film made by Ronald.

  Although Diane did not want to attend the premiere, Ronald received an invitation from "Rage Streets" producer Joe Silver to attend the premiere at the Academy Theater in Beverly Hills.

   This is the headquarters of the Hollywood Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and where Oscar nominations are announced each year. Some celebrities live nearby, so the opening ceremony still invited several famous celebrities to join in.

   A few days later, Ronald flew to Los Angeles with his good friend Douglas Jr. to attend.

   "Why doesn't it seem like there are any stars?" Little Douglas was a little disappointed, "You haven't made up for my broken heart. In any case today, you have to introduce me to a few female stars."

   Ronald couldn't help laughing, and Natasha Kinski was introduced to little Douglas by Ronald. Excited little Douglas invites Kinski to dinner, only to find out that she is pregnant.

  Kinski also told him that the child belonged to his ex-boyfriend Vincent Spano, but that she was going to marry the wealthy Egyptian businessman Ibrahim Musa. Musa also accepts her and the children. But she also wants to keep making films if other producers are willing to ask her to keep making films.

   Little Douglas, who was deeply shocked by the Hollywood style, stared at the belly of female stars today, and would not approach anyone with loose clothes.

He was still caught by a slender female star. With the help of Joel Silver, Ronald met the "Moonlight, Panic" actress, a new generation of screaming queen, Jamie. JamieLeeCurtis.

  Little Douglas approached him and made full use of the charm of the New York country rich.

   Ronald was attracted to an older beauty next to Curtis. She has silver hair and an extraordinary temperament, and her face is seven-pointed like Curtis. Ronald asked tentatively, "Are you Ms. Janet Leigh?"

   "Young man, have you seen my movie too?"

   It turned out to be Curtis's mother, the heroine of Hitchcock's "mental patient", and the scream queen of the previous generation in Hollywood.

  "I'm a film director, my name is Ronald. I appreciate your performance very much", Ronald was very happy to chat with the legendary actress.

   "Aha, this makes me feel like I'm back when I was young, and reporters rushed to ask me questions." Janet Leigh laughed at herself, "When I was making Hitch movies..."

"No, I appreciate your Orson Welles' 'Gone with the Wind' more, but unfortunately his original intention was tampered with by the producers, and I deeply regret not having seen the original appearance of that film. "

"Oh, you're the first person to talk to me about that movie in a long time, and when I was filming that movie, I happened to have a broken arm, so for a lot of shots my arm was hidden behind and in a cast. "Janet Leigh also prefers Wells' films.

   The two chatted quite speculatively, just as Douglas Jr. and Curtis had a good chat. until the opening of the premiere.

   "Well, no wonder this movie can't work." Ronald watched the finished film, except for the amazing concert played by Diane at the beginning and the end, the whole movie was relatively lackluster.

   All the plots are predictable, and there are no surprises. There is also the last male lead, Cody, and Willem Dafoe, who plays the villain.

   Maybe to get a PG rating? Ronald guessed. The quality of this film is indeed a big problem, and there are too many compromises for various requirements.

how to say? The whole movie seems to have made too many compromises when editing. Maybe it's to meet the requirements of the high-level executives, or maybe the director doesn't know how to cut it into a story. The whole movie is a bit behind the times, and maybe in other markets around the world, it still sells a few copies.

   The first weekend of June has passed.

When the box office of    "Break Dance" was reduced to 800 theaters released by MGM, it continued to make great progress and won 3.3 million box office. Second only to the sequels to the two blockbuster films released, "Star Trek - Finding Spock", and "Indiana Jones: The Raiders" each scored 16 million and came in third.

   "Street of Rage", which was released in the early 1,000 theaters, only received a box office of over 2.4 million. Seeing that it is hopeless to tie the production cost at the box office.

  The masterpiece "Once Upon a Time in America", which took two years and cost 30 million yuan, was ordered by the publisher Warner Bros. to cut it to 90 minutes. It was a fiasco at the box office and only got 2.4 million.

After five weeks of release, "Break Dance", which won 34 million yuan, really attracted the attention of many big people. Ronald's manager Nisita, the big person on the other end of the phone, also began to get higher grades. .
