Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 776: 第四百〇六

  Columbus did not embarrass Ronald for too long. After taking a few scenes, he ended the filming of this cameo.

   "Am I ok? It's just that this costume was a little cold here." Ronald took a blanket and wrapped it. He was wearing a vest in winter, and there were deliberately sprinkled water droplets on his body as sweat. It was not a joke.

   "You know? In the original script, the manga character Sarah was obsessed with was Seaman - the giant of the universe, the prince of Etania." Columbus said to Ronald.

"Hahaha, then you have to wear that **** dress, brandish your sword, and shout: Give me strength! I'm Seaman!" Yin Lisabai Su couldn't stop laughing when she heard this, she used to go to high school At the time, I often watched the animations of Seaman and Searie.

   "Uh..." Ronald shook his head, he didn't want to dress like Schwarzenegger did in Conan the Barbarian.

  Ronald had a chat with Yin Lisabai Su. For the first time, she played a heroine with enough roles. She had an eagerness to try, and fully substituted the mentality of a high school nanny, and she was in a good state of creation.

   This "Nanny Adventures" is very interesting, but there is actually no real male protagonist. The whole story revolves around the heroine's nanny Chris Parker.

   "Ronald, am I really going to take a Playboy magazine photo?"

   Yin Lisabai Su, with bright eyes, asked Ronald, who took him to his debut to shoot a chewing gum commercial. She trusted Ronald.

  About half of the American girls had the idea of ​​being a **** girl when they were young. Of course, when they grew up, they knew what their male classmates would do with pictures of **** slits, and they would immediately dismiss this idea.

   "So, do you want to shoot or not?" Ronald replied with a smile.

   "Well, I do want to take some good-looking photos. Is it a Playboy cover photo, or a mid-seam photo?"

  Yin Lisabai Su is wearing a yellow camel hair coat. She has a good temperament and looks like a daughter raised by an upper-middle-class family.

   Ronald is still very satisfied with his casting decision.

   "Cover, center seam, full set," he replied.

Although   Playboy is a men's magazine, it is also sold on newsstands in America, so the cover is often a close-up of the model's upper body, and the mid-seam is the main reason why many men buy magazines, and the scale is larger.

   "Ah... can I not take the middle seam? I don't want to take pictures of that kind of undressing."

  Yin Lisabai Su is a little embarrassed, she managed to get the heroine of this movie, but if she takes off her clothes on the screen, even if it is a photo in a magazine, it will have a great impact on her future.

   "What are you thinking? It's a PG-13 movie. Of course it's in clothes." Ronald couldn't help but pat Sue on the head, and acted as a high school nanny all day long.

   "Oh..." Yin Lisabai Su also smiled, she really thought too much.

   Back at the hotel where the crew stayed, Ronald opened a room and called Nisita, his agent in Los Angeles.

   "I wanted to talk to Hugh Hefner, the owner of Playboy, and the crew said they couldn't find anyone recently."

   "Hefner? You're looking for him?" Nisita was a little surprised, how did her client's taste change, a blonde who wants some food?

"The Nanny Adventures has a small plot, the protagonist nanny Chris and Playboy's cover girl look a bit similar, we plan to let Yin Lisabai Su take some pictures and make a fake Playboy book, this matter requires Hefner Nod, but the Disney guys couldn't find him."

   "Oh, you can't find him." Nisita knew what Ronald was thinking, and then talked about what happened recently in California.

  In the mid-1980s, especially the beginning of the second term of the commander-in-chief, the conservative forces in America gradually occupied some space for activities.

  Playboy, a men's magazine popular in the hippie era, is now the target of conservative forces. Many anti-porn activists are gradually targeting the most prestigious magazine, and some parts of the American government are also showing signs of starting a purge of the medium.

   Some women's power groups centered on some magazines in New York have also begun to expose and criticize this kind of magazines that objectify and exploit women.

   This caused Playboy's stock price to slowly decline, and the magazine's high-end clubs across the country gradually closed.

  Especially a few months ago, "Newsweek" interviewed the magazine tycoon Hugh Hefner for a cover story.

The    report relayed the conclusion of some Wall Street researchers that subscriptions to Playboy magazines are declining rapidly. The capital market's response to this impending storm is a slump in stock prices.

  Hugh Hefner, as a tycoon who first created serious adult magazines in the conservative 1950s and 1960s, has a very keen sense of smell. He senses a force against him that is gradually taking shape. Just a few weeks ago, he was admitted to the hospital with a minor stroke.

   "He's not really having a stroke, is he?" Ronald asked.

   "Who knows? Now he's back at the Playboy mansion with a girl looking after him. I can figure out a way for him to call you back."

  …

   "Is that Mr. Ronald Lee?" A delicate woman's voice called after a while.

   "It's me, you are?" Ronald answered the phone and asked.

   "Mr. Hugh Hefner wants to speak to you."

   "Ronald, can I call you Ronald? Have you ever been to my **** mansion? Although there are not as many beautiful girls as before, I still recommend you to come and play, there is everything here."

   "Hello, Mr. Hefner, I've been there once, but I didn't stay too long. Thank you for your invitation."

  Ronald went there a long time ago, and he left halfway without being impressed.

   "I think my agent told you too, I hope you can support Hollywood like you did before, there's a plot in a movie I made..."

"No problem, I only have one request." Hefner was very interested in this Hollywood director. Although the magazines have to stay out of the limelight for the time being, there will always be a day when they will recover, the men said. To respect women, do you still secretly look at slit girls?

If a director like    can often appear at the party of his **** mansion, it will be very attractive to those beauties who want to enter the film industry.

   "Please say..." Ronald didn't expect Hefner to give such approval, and politely asked him to make his request.

   "What's your actress' name... Yin Lisa Bai Su?... She's going to the Playboy Mansion to shoot."

   "Isn't that necessary? We can guarantee that the shooting process is in line with Playboy's photography style, and the fake magazines made will look the same as your magazines."

"My dear Ronald, this is a little bit of my willfulness, you won't let me down, will you? Besides, why would you want to take a fake photo when there is a real one? I can provide real **** photographers, just At the location of the monthly magazine's mid-slit girl shoot, the Playboy mansion shoot, we can put out a special issue..."

  Hugh Hefner is now being chased and scolded by conservatives and feminist organizations. If a Hollywood director can come out to rectify the name of his magazine... So he insists that it must be filmed on the spot.

  Ronald scratched his head, the movie was still in the process of filming, the heroine flew to Los Angeles to take pictures, there would be some delay in time, plus…

   "I'm afraid I can't, Mr. Hefner, my heroine Yin Lisa Bai Su, signed a contract with Disney, there is no strip clause in it, and I can't force or coax her..."

   "You're a gentleman, hahaha, Ronald." Hugh Hefner smiled on the other end of the phone.

"Actually I don't have any prejudice against Playboy, but I think the models who go to Playboy's Girl of the Month know what they have to pay. And our movie is going to be graded PG-13. taking pictures."

"Whoever said you want to take off your clothes, of course you have to wear clothes. It's a special edition." Hugh Hefner laughed, "Actually Playboy, every issue has pictures of women wearing tasteful clothes, but I The mid-seam girl is the most famous. It just so happens that I'm going to start transforming the magazine."

"That's it, then, we're done?" Since Hefner can make a girl in clothes appear on the playboy, it is better to let the original photographer and staff make a special edition of props, which is the most like Well.

   "It's settled, you can come with your actress on the weekend. After we arrive, we will have a good chat. My daughter Christie will be in charge of the filming."

  It was a vacation anyway, Ronald flew back to Los Angeles by himself. He was still a little worried, and he had to go to the Playboy mansion first to finalize the matter.

   Playboy Mansion, near Holmby Hills near the coast in the Greater Los Angeles area.

It was originally built by a Broadway department store tycoon. After several owners, it was bought by Hugh Hefner, a successful magazine owner, in 1971. He converted it into a limestone and brick building. Mansion group.

   There are 29 rooms in total, as well as outdoor swimming pool, waterfall, organ room, cinema, and outdoor BBQ and sauna. Outside there are also large koi ponds with artificial streams, a small citrus grove and two forests of mature tree ferns and redwoods.

   Ronald is very interested in this koi pond, which has a strong oriental meaning.

   "The various landscapes here are built for the photos of each issue of Playboy. Over the past ten years, they have been gradually added and remodeled. I will show you around."

   is talking about Christie Hefner, Hugh Hefner's eldest daughter. Her parents divorced when she was very young. Christie went to college on her own and worked as a film critic for a while after graduation, before reconciling with her father and working for Playboy magazine.

   So Christie has a natural affinity for Ronald, the director.

   "Thank you, I feel that coming here during the day is very different from the last time I came at night." Ronald took off his sunglasses. It is still a very interesting tourist attraction during the day.

   "Haha, do you feel the same way? I've been persuading my father recently to open this place to travelers who travel with the whole family, and to transform this place into a must-see attraction when visiting Holmby Mountain."

   "So, do you agree to adjourn?"

   Ronald was stunned, this is Hugh Hefner's empire, his domain. He lives here, the original servant West Wing, is the editorial office of the magazine.

  At the same time, Hugh Hefner invited those women he liked to live in the mansion. At most, he had dated seven women at the same time.

   Such a happy cave, turned into a family vacation destination?

Seeing Ronald's disbelief, Christie hurriedly said the answer she's been polishing recently, "Our Playboy magazine has always been a feminist magazine, with a serious magazine covering politics, economics, fashion and other fields. A lot of kids think of the Playboy Mansion as a place like Disneyland."

   "Pfft...cough..." Ronald couldn't hold back, he thought the Playboy mansion was a Disneyland, you really dare to think about it.

   "Father?" Christie was about to retort when she saw her father, Hugh Hefner, approaching the bridge.

   "Nice to meet you here, Ronald." Hugh Hefner in his signature silk pajamas, smoking a pipe in one hand and Pepsi in the other.

   "Hi Mr. Hefner, I was talking to Christy about the feminist nature of your magazine."

   "That's no problem, we just have different views on feminism." Hefner was still walking a little slowly, and it seemed that the previous stroke still had some influence on him.

"Newsweek said our numbers were down, didn't they go to New York's newsstands? We're still the best-selling magazines at retailers. It's just that they've bought two more magazines in the last few years, wrapped in Playboy , not to be seen."

   "Oops..." Hugh Hefner slipped on the wooden bridge of the artificial creek, and a blond **** bomb beside him immediately supported him.

   The woman around him is Kelly Leigh, a rare date in Hugh Hefner's life.

   "Ronald, I like your Top Gun."

   Kelly Leigh, proud of capturing America's most famous playboy, came up and took Ronald to the big house. Walking across the wooden bridge, the koi fish that had gathered at Ronald's feet under the bridge scattered in a hurry.

   "Mr. Hefner, I'm here this time, I want to confirm the details of the shooting with you..." Ronald said after visiting Hefner's wine cellar.

   "You talk to Christy about these details. I just want to make sure you're having a good time here, no?"

  Hugh Hefner and Ronald taste a bottle of wine from the cellar.

   It may be that feminists and religious conservatives have recently pursued Hefner more ruthlessly, and he is no longer talking about the First Amendment, which he always talked about and resisted the government's investigation.

   Ronald didn't find any other **** girls in the mansion except Kelly Leigh.

   It seems that the symbol of this adult magazine really wants to change the evil.

After   , Ronald and Christie worked out the details of the shoot. "Nanny's Adventures" guarantees photo-time for Playboy magazine, and the magazine typefaces the special edition on the cover to distinguish it from the original stripped mid-seam girl.

  Before the release of the movie, Playboy will also invest some marketing resources, placing advertisements in the advertising light boxes of some department stores in Los Angeles and New York to promote this special edition of Playboy, to warm up the movie, in order to achieve a win-win effect.

   After signing the memorandum of cooperation, Ronald found that Christie then began to discuss the family travel itinerary with several people who looked like a travel company, facing the model of the mansion.

   "Even Playboy advertises himself as a feminist magazine?"

   Leaving the mansion, Ronald has been thinking about this.

  What is the attitude of the current public towards women working independently and controlling their own destiny? It seems that more and more people are starting to think that working girls are a better choice than housewives?

  The change of social thought will also have a reaction in Hollywood movies. Some new things become the trend of the whole society only after being enlarged by the movie.

  Being able to predict the next trend of thought in advance will be of great benefit to Hollywood practitioners…

  …

"I feel like this makeup doesn't look like me anymore." Yin Lisabai Su, taking advantage of the weekend break, flew back to Los Angeles, and was taken to the Playboy mansion by Ronald's special car. The makeup artist of the magazine, and the photographer, Shooting started.

   "That's the way it is. In the plot, the cover girl just looks like you. Such a slightly different photo makes it easier for the audience to understand the humor in the plot."

  Ronald looked at Su's makeup, which was indeed a playboy.

  Slightly exaggerated eye shadow and hairstyle, plus big wavy curly hair, Su is no longer a karate general or a babysitter, but a mature woman exuding a strong **** charm.

   Wearing a red top, after taking the cover photo, the photographer is ready to move to the bedroom to take a mid-seam photo.

   "Uh, I don't have to take off my clothes, right?" Sue followed behind Ronald and asked quietly.

   "No, just wear **** pajamas, I will help you grasp it."

   Yin Lisabai Su came out of the dressing room wearing a set of blue and white pajamas with vertical stripes.

"Okay, very good, give me a classic Monroe pose." The photographer team surrounded her with a lot of lights and reflectors. Lots of **** photos.

   "Look, they're all very tasteful photos. If you think any of them are bad, I'll inform them that they won't be in the special edition magazine."

   A day later, the photos were sent to Ronald, and Ronald spread them out one by one for Yin Lisabai Su.

   Photos of this scale are actually often seen in conservative home furnishing magazines.

   "Actually, I like them very much, but my dad would say me, um... no matter, it's really nice to take." Most of Su's photos are of the girl next door, and she likes this kind of charming photos.
