Exploiting Hollywood 1980

   Chapter 802 French Boar

  Princess Diana wrapped up her royal duties in Cannes - representing Britain at the Sir Alex Guinness award ceremony - and departed home today.

   She attended the premiere of America director Ronald Lee's new film "Dancing Hot", but did not finish the movie because of time constraints.

   The audience's reaction was quite polarized, with some crying on the spot, while others swearing that it was a naive and clichéd movie.

   This concludes our coverage of out-of-competition films. The Cannes focus remains on tonight's "Birthday Party" - a dinner of stars to celebrate the 40-year-old Cannes Film Festival.

   "That's it, Richard." Ronald stopped Richard to read the new news review.

Ronald put on a suit tailored by Armani in front of the mirror, mixed with some American elements, so that the suit did not highlight the waist and hips like an authentic Italian, but was slightly conservative, with high shoulder pads. confidence.

   Ronald put a scarlet blazer in his jacket pocket, "Perfect... Those reports are thanks to Princess Diana, otherwise we wouldn't be in the festival's official publications."

   He turned left and right, the suit had a subtle but not revealing temperament, which made him restrain his edge and strength and become a gentleman, ready to attend the birthday party of the Cannes Film Festival in the evening.

  …

  The avenue in front of the Palace of Cinema in Cannes was covered with red carpets. Well-known movie stars in the hair country stepped onto the carpet one after another, and the cameras of the TV station were filming them at a very close distance.

  Photojournalists also spread out next to the red carpet to capture wonderful shots.

   A little further from the red carpet are the passionate moviegoers. The sunshine today is very good, and almost all active movie fans crowded into the far side of the movie palace, shouting the idol's name.

For safety, in addition to the half-person-high iron railings separating them from the red carpet, the government of the hair country also dispatched a large number of police officers wearing high hats and dresses that they rarely wear. The entrance to the Cinema Palace.

  Ronald paused at the starting point of the red carpet, waiting for the organizing committee to inform him of the time to play.

   "hiss..."

   In order to add to the fun, the government of the hair country also sent a team of cavalry, riding on horses, to maintain order on the periphery. Ronald, attracted by the neigh, looked back.

The people of the hair country like this sense of ceremony very much. The horses are covered with golden accessories. The cavalry wears the retro military uniform of the Napoleonic era. .

   "Ronnie!"

   Ronald, who was admiring the appearance of the cavalry, was called. He looked back and saw Elizabeth Taylor, whom he had seen at the Oscars a few weeks ago.

   "Elizabeth, nice to see you here, finally someone speaks English to me."

  Taylor is a little darker than the last time I saw her, wearing a bright red low-cut skirt with high shoulders, the whole person looks like a big red balloon, Ronald was a little bit hindered when he hugged her.

  "This is George", Elizabeth Taylor moved her skirt slightly to the side to reveal her boyfriend behind.

   "Hello, George, I've admired the name for a long time." George Hamilton, also a sunbather, his skin turned orange black.

   "Oh, your sunbathing is really good." Ronald looked at each other, if he hadn't watched the hit TV series "Root" starring him, and "The Husband and Wife", he would have been a black man.

   "Yeah, Elizabeth and I both love sunbathing, what do you think?"

   "If you go to play "Root" now, you can change the role and play the black protagonist." Ronald was half-joking. This kind of skin tone has become a trend in Hollywood now. Only if you have money and spare time, and play on the beach for a long time, you can get such an even skin tone.

"Hahaha…"

  Hamilton was amused by Ronald's joke, an American joke that was not offensive at all in this hairy country, but so kind.

   But his good mood was soon spoiled by Yves Montan, the chairman of the Cannes jury.

  Yves Montan walked the red carpet with his wife, but he obviously didn't want to follow the rules. When he saw Elizabeth Taylor, when hugging, his mouth was almost arched under Taylor's low-cut neck.

  The two kissed and kissed, and Yves Montan also tried to take Taylor's hand and ask her to walk the red carpet together.

   "Boars in heat!" George Hamilton and Ronald whispered in the back.

   "Indeed..."

  Ronald watched George Hamilton, an unpopular TV star in film circles, trailing aggrievedly behind Elizabeth Taylor. Watching his girlfriend and Yves Montan walk the red carpet side by side with his wife.

   This must be very frustrating!

   "Catherine, Catherine, give me a smile."

  The photojournalist was in another commotion. Next on the red carpet is Catherine Deneuve, a national treasure of the hair country.

   She is also wearing a red dress today. Unlike Taylor, Deneuve's dress has no exaggerated shoulder pads, but a shawl design. The front neckline is also a big bevel, not as direct as Taylor, but more charming.

   She is over 40 years old, and she still looks very temperamental, and she did not deliberately tan, maintaining the original skin color of white people.

   Ronald stood behind, nodding and smiling at her. The French star has far better taste than Elizabeth Taylor's straight-up American. When a beauty is getting old, it will be very unpleasant if she doesn't understand the directness of moderation like when she was young.

  Yves Montan reappeared as a boar, left Taylor at the end of the red carpet, turned his head and walked back for a while, waiting for Catherine Deneuve. Under his wife's gaze, his eyes stared straight at Deneuve's neckline.

   "Kacha, Kacha" photojournalists raised their cameras one after another, and the flash kept firing.

  Yves Montan, like a boar sniffing mushrooms everywhere in the woods, scrambling for a while.

   "Uh..." Ronald was in line behind Deneuve and also went on the red carpet, seeing this spectacle the whole way. I also saw Elizabeth Taylor, who was full of anger and forcibly calm, and was being photographed by a photojournalist.

   George Hamilton, who was behind her, gave Ronald a "boar" mouth and took his girlfriend up the steps of the Palace of Cinema.

   And Catherine Deneuve, who was behind, also looked embarrassed. On the red carpet, in front of his wife, he openly molested other women. If Yves Montan was not the chairman of the jury, maybe one of the three women in evening gowns couldn't help it.

   Ronald shook his head with a wry smile. He did not dare to walk in front, lest the photographers would capture the same scene and make the headlines of tomorrow's newspaper.

   Hide from the photojournalist in front, not enough to hide behind.

  Because of avoiding Yves Montan's farce to slap Catherine Deneuve, Ronald walked very slowly and was caught up by another female star who was catching up from behind.

   "Ronald, nice to see you here. Last time I saw your 'Break Dance' in Cannes."

   "Ha, Sophie."

   Ronald simply stopped and waited for the young French rose to come up.

  The visitor also wore a red shawl, and his hair was a bit messy when the wind blew up.

  It was the last time Ronald came to Cannes, and he had just entered the hair country movie scene, with two teen films "First Kiss" and "First Kiss 2" The famous Sophie Marceau in the movie circle.

   Just last time, Sophie Marceau was still a chubby little girl, but today she has become a mature woman with a lot of style.

This former French girl idol, after the last Cannes, suddenly became nervous, and no longer continued to play French girls under the command of Gaumont, but found a Polish director to play the very controversial "Wild Girl". Love".

   After the release of the film that gave Sophie Marceau a lot of outrageous scenes, her image in the hair country changed greatly, and there were not too many movie invitations for a while.

   "I'm glad you like my movie, and I'm also a fan of your first kiss." Ronald walked parallel to her and chatted briefly.

   Hearing that Ronald's new work "Dancing Hot", Sophie Marceau also read the report in the newspaper, hoping to have the opportunity to watch it live.

   "This movie is a movie with a female protagonist, I hope you like it... Sophie?"

   Ronald said as he walked, and halfway there, he suddenly found that Sophie Marceau had stopped.

   "Kacha, Kacha" photojournalist finally framed Ronald this time.

   It turns out that Sophie Marceau came to Cannes this time to walk the red carpet with her boyfriend, director Andrei Zulaski of "Wild Love".

  Because Sophie Marceau and Ronald had a speculative chat, the Polish director lost his temper halfway and stopped.

  Sophie Marceau noticed her boyfriend's childish behavior and had to stop and wait for him to come up and walk with her.

   "That Hollywood commercial animal, what's there to talk about? His movies are full of Hollywood copper stench."

  Andrei Zulaski almost taught Sophie Marceau a lesson on the spot, and he ignored the hand extended by the other party, and instead ducked back.

  The couple quarreling on the red carpet, followed by the handsome Hollywood director Ronald, the Polish director with strong literary and artistic flavor, confronted the Hollywood commercial director, who can win the heart of the French Rose.

  Photojournalists were overjoyed when they saw this composition. A red carpet, out of two stars "threesome" story.

   Tomorrow, the bosses of Le Figaro, Le Monde, and Le Parisien will be very happy.

  Sophie Marceau is used to her boyfriend Andrei Zulaski's childlike temper and jealousy.

   She is very experienced, she stepped forward and pulled Zulaski with force, and the two continued to move forward hand in hand.

   Facing the photojournalist and the TV cameras, Sophie Marceau did not change her face and continued to smile.

   Ronald saw this, and he didn't know that he had a human background again. It feels like taking two quick steps forward, stop letting reporters find angles, take more pictures of him and Sophie Marceau, and Zulaski in the same frame, and continue to make up stories tomorrow.

   Arrived at the entrance of the Movie Palace, the three-stage grand staircase made many older stars feel a little overwhelmed. Those female stars also need to pay attention to the skirts and slow down one by one.

   Ronald didn't want to be in the same frame with them anymore, so he took the two to the front.

   "Sophie", the chairman of the jury, Yves Montan, relied on her own identity, and used her mouth to cover female stars in front of the stairs.

   "Oh, ComeOn, are all the male stars in the hair country boars?" Ronald saw him arrogantly for the third time, and felt that it was really unbearable for these Europeans' style, and he was about to go up.

  "It's impolite to say that." Ronald's words were heard by Catherine Deneuve and said to Ronald with a smile.

"Miss Deneuve, I don't have a movie to participate in, so I don't have to try to please him." Ronald saw that the previous generation of French Rose was talking to him, and he didn't dare to neglect. The long skirt at the foot.

   "Artists shouldn't be blamed for these things. Last time you came to Cannes, Sophie told me about your movie."

   "My pleasure." Ronald couldn't argue with the beauty of Yves Montan's right or wrong. Take Catherine Deneuve into the hall.

   "Catherine"

   "Fanny"

  In the hall, there is another French female star who greets the stars at the door.

  François Truffaut's widow, Fanny Ardant, is half the hostess of this year's Cannes. In addition to Sir Guinness this year, there is another person who won the Lifetime Achievement Award. The one who is missed by everyone is Director Truffaut.

  Ronald waited patiently for the two to finish their chat. The beauty competition between beauties was always ubiquitous. The two female stars must be perfect in manners, dresses, makeup and hairstyles.

   Ronald led Deneuve to her place and was about to go away. "Boom, boom, boom" sounded from the door.

   Ronald saw that Yves Montan came in again and kissed Fanny Ardant again.

   "Oh..." Catherine Deneuve couldn't argue with Ronald anymore, so she raised her hand and covered her face.

   "Miss Deneuve", Ronald resigned politely and found the round table where he was. There are some practitioners making commercial exploitation films.

   Ronald was delighted to see the Cannonball actress Cassandra Peterson. Today, she is not dressed as a dancer. With normal makeup, she is a very beautiful actress.

  The two chatted about the "Ecstasy" that Cassandra wanted to make. Ronald and her agreed to return to Los Angeles to continue talking about the possibility of this film being made by Daydream.

   "I said, Ronald, why are all the beauties in the hair country being arched by this kind of pig?"

On the other side of    Ronald is Australian star Mel Gibson running from another table.

   Like Ronald, he couldn't stand the appearance of the pig in the hair country, when he saw an acquaintance running over.

   "What, are you interested? Want to meet her?" Ronald looked at the long-haired Gibson and stared at the young Sophie Marceau.

   "Don't you think that she is very suitable for playing classical roles?"

  Ronald tilted his head and looked at it for a while. Sophie Marceau, who had receded from baby fat, had a pointed chin and features like a classical lady.

   "Indeed, I didn't expect you to have a set of casting roles."

   Ronald couldn't help but agree with the hero of this year's "Lethal Weapon" who shined brightly and got rid of the wasteland-themed B-level exploitative film hero of "Mad Max".

   "Of course, I've always wanted to direct my own films." Gibson expressed his ambitions to Ronald without hesitation, "Of course I'm not sure right now, after all, director and actor are two completely different professions."

   "I think you have great potential." Ronald felt that Gibson's mentality was not bad.

   "Really?" Gibson looked away and asked Ronald.

   "Really, at least you know that a director and an actor are not the same thing. Also, your eye for casting is very good."

   "Hahaha, it seems that I am a bit talented".
