Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Capcom's production team visited many filming locations of Ronald's classic movies in Los Angeles, and after accumulating enough photos and video materials, they came to bid farewell to Ronald, and they were going back to Japan.

"Why did you choose these two places?" Ronald asked several designers.In the photos shown to him, Ronald spotted the beach where Sean Penn surfed in "fast-paced Richmond High" and the top gun school McGillis in "Top Gun" had blonde hair, red lips, and black stockings for the pilot The airport where we go to class.

"This is the scene of the two American protagonists in our next game. One is Gulie, a naval aviation major, and the other is Ken, an American boy who learns karate. We used the setting of the dragon boy." Design Shi Guliang, with a heavy English accent, explained their thoughts.

"Are there still two protagonists?" Ronald still appreciates the brains of Capcom and his gang. By combining the elements of several of his own movies, he has a new game idea.

"Hi Yi, this is a new type of fighting game, it adopts the form of fighting in the ring, one-on-one. Characters can also use special moves, such as Ken, he can use Adogen, fuel-efficient heels, and XX not Logan"

Ronald was already dizzy listening to his English, what the hell is this?
"It's Hadoken, Shoryuken, and Tatsumaki Senpukyaku", the music developer of the game, Shimomura Yoko, smiled and wrote down the Chinese character name of the trick on the paper, explaining to Ronald , the English accent of Dongying people is really terrible.

Ronald felt a sense of familiarity, and he patted his head, "It sounds like fun. After you develop it, send me one to play with."

After seeing off his Japanese friends, Ronald called his assistant Fat Girl Lake and the private detective Mike Pike who had been waiting for a while.

"Is there any result of the investigation? Why would someone take the initiative to provide my gossip to the media?" Waiting for Lake to deliver coffee and close the door, Ronald couldn't wait to ask the detective whose hair was getting thinner.

"There are many possibilities. It may be the initiative of Miss Slater's fans, or it may be a fan who likes your work. The possibility of insiders paying for breaking news has been ruled out, because there is no way to receive checks for anonymous submissions... The most threatening, Someone is deliberately laying it out, and that is the most threatening..."

"Are you sure who it is?"

"I didn't find out who the informant was who took the initiative to give the news to The Hollywood Reporter, but the news I got from the reporter there, the news of the photo and the project of the movie, and the photo of Miss Helen Slater and you, were all through anonymous emails Sent."

"Is that so? There's no way to track it down?" Ronald frowned, as if someone was staring at him and broke the news. Who is this idle?

"It's not that there are no clues at all. Although it's an anonymous email, there are some traces. I'm looking for a friend from the NYPD laboratory..."

"Ring ring ring ring..."

In the middle of speaking, Ronald was interrupted by the phone call. He raised his hand to apologize to Mike Parker, picked up the receiver, and it was Richard.

"Ronald, Spielberg has something to do with you first..." Richard said on the phone.

"What is he looking for from me? Is there any new film he wants to cooperate with me?"

"If you are free at night, he said he wants to talk to you face to face."

"Well, well..." Ronald took note of the time.Then he gestured to Mr. Detective to continue.

"Sorry, I'm too busy, let's move on. What does lab mean?"

"NYPD has a department that is responsible for crime scene technical investigations. One unit is trace inspection. I happen to have a friend in it."

"Don't worry about the money, do you still need to say hello? I know Rudy from the Southern District Prosecutor's Office very well..." Ronald took out his checkbook, asked Mike Pike how much he needed, and then signed a cash check and handed it to he.

"At this stage, it's best to keep it secret. One more person who knows will cause more trouble. We can also start from another direction, such as have you offended anyone recently?" The detective said after collecting the check.

"Ring ring ring ring..."

"Sorry..." Ronald picked up the phone again, "I'm Ronald."

"I'm Dahe..."

"I'll change the line..." Ronald stood up and motioned to the detective, then went inside, changed to an orange phone that was modified by the bodyguard Dan and was difficult to tap, and reconnected to Norio Ohga.

"Ronald-san, we have reached a consensus with CFIUS. Next, I will adopt the method of open market acquisition. If someone acquires Columbia's stock now, it will make some quick money." Norio Ohga pointed out on the phone Sony's strategy.

"My securities investment is not in the entertainment industry, Da Hesang. There will be suspicion of insider trading. The Securities Regulatory Commission of America is a very troublesome institution. If I want to buy it, I have to prove that I have no news, so I generally don't buy it." How do you touch it? If you succeed in the acquisition, I will buy some Sony shares. The last investment has helped me earn a lot of money..." Ronald seemed to have a subtext in his words, so he called the accountant Ed Bass Dee spoke to him about some of the content of the discussion.

"Ronald Sang's character is admirable. Speaking of it, we are still thanks to Ronald Sang's guidance. The acquisition of Dongying Enterprises in America is difficult and not easy. It doesn't matter if we spend more money. If money can solve it, it is not a problem.

Now someone is negotiating with the small shareholders we contacted before, waiting for our public acquisition, and earning quick profits is also the price we have to pay.Fortunately, Coca-Cola owns more than half of the shares, which is not a problem for us. "

After chatting with Dahe for a few more times, Ronald felt that something was wrong, and it seemed that something happened again, so Dahe even called to remind himself.He thought for a while, then called Bastian and Steve Bannon to find out.

"Sorry, Mr. Mike Parker, where are we talking?" Ronald came out and continued to discuss with the detective.

"Your enemy in Hollywood..."

"Oh, yes. I have always been kind to people. I don't have any enemies. If there are any, there are a few people who have had problems with me. For example, Stallone, the former president of Universal, Tom Mount, um, and the Naples producer Merchant, De Laurentiis."

Mike Parker repeated the name several times, and then said that he would conduct in-depth investigations in these directions.

Temporarily letting go of his worries, Ronald met Minahan Golan, who had come to visit him in a daydream.

"Sorry, I'm very busy these days..." Ronald said to Golan.

"Quack quack, we're old friends, you're welcome. I'm here because of that Lombarda song. I've already negotiated with the record company and got the copyright of that song."

"Very good, give Simkins your script, no, he went to South Dakota to supervise the film, give it to me..."

Ronald took the script that Minahan brought, and read it at a glance.The whole movie is much lower than the level of Dirty Dancing. It is basically a breakdancing level. Many plots are forcibly integrated, and a few scenes are deliberately set aside for the singing and dancing scenes of the actors.

But singing and dancing exploitation films, as long as the popular songs are playing non-stop in the ears of the public, seize the time to make a movie, and release it while the heat is still there.

The hero and heroine should be beautiful and sexy, and the singing and dancing should make people want to learn how to dance by themselves.After all, movies like Dirty Dancing that combine performance, singing and dancing are rare.

"How much?" Ronald asked after reading.

"I plan to have a total budget of 800 million." Minahan gestured with eight fat fingers.Anyway, it's a collaboration with Ronald. In fact, if you save money for the whole movie, 400 million yuan will be more than enough. If you make a name for yourself...

"A little more budget, better shooting, and find a better director. I will offer 400 million here, and then we will each send an executive producer to supervise the execution of the budget." Ronald felt that the price was not outrageous, and the box office returned It's not difficult at all, there is still a market for music and video tapes.

"However, your script needs to be revised. I'll ask the script doctor to delete all the plots of protecting the Amazon rainforest. We only need handsome men and beautiful women. Break through the taboo of dancing in high school, and then have a hot close-fitting dance... "

In fact, this script, Ronald also saw that the core plagiarized is "Full of Strength" in [-], but ordinary high schools don't have so much content that reflects social reality. Minahan added a heroine to fill the void in the plot. It's the Amazon princess, a vulgar plot to protect the tropical rainforest from being destroyed.

"But, without this, it's a pure dance movie..."

"Otherwise? Do you still want to be nominated for an Oscar?" Ronald looked at Minahan's distressed look, "Do you really want to use this movie to hit the Oscars? The first movie should make money first, and there will be suitable ones in the future." Let's talk about the script."

"Listen to you..." Minahan rubbed his hands and gave up his own thoughts. Ronald should listen to the script.

"Don't protect the rainforest. The Amazon tribal princess can be kept. Find a Latina sexy beauty, come to Los Angeles to study in an international high school, and then dance with the male protagonist and fall in love with each other. Finally, the exchange is over and return to Brazil. The male protagonist doesn't know where she is. Which high school went to school, I still chased after it, and finally found the heroine through the rumbada dance at the carnival..."

"Through the carnival..." Minahan quickly recorded, "Are we going to Brazil to actually film the carnival?"

"Forget it, let's put the location in Mexico and change it to a dance competition..." If Ronald wanted to go to Brazil, he might not be able to afford the 1500 million budget.

"Quack quack, listen to you..." Minahan left satisfied.

……

"Spielberg's wife, Amy Irwin, has announced that the two will end their marriage amicably. Irwin's application to the court indicates that the couple have reached a written agreement on property matters. Amy Irwin will seek child support and Joint custody of their 4-year-old son Max. There is no dispute over the division of property between the parties.

The couple married in Santa Fe, New Mexico in November 1985...”

Before going to see Spielberg, Ronald saw a news item on TV.

"This..." I didn't expect Steven to get divorced, which is big news.

Ronald thought to himself that it was rumored in the circle that Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, the heroine of the second part of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", had a hot fight, and they had already been in a pair at the beginning of the year.Is this for real?I really divorced my wife.

"Ronald, thank you...you have also seen my news." Spielberg was embarrassed.

"I saw it, very suddenly. Is it because of Kate?" Ronald looked at the beautiful Kate Capshaw who was waiting outside.

"It's really embarrassing,..." Spielberg's expression became very strange. His wedding was witnessed by Ronald.

"Yes, it was sudden. However, true love should not be condemned. I am sorry that you and Amy are separated, and I also wish you and Kate." Ronald didn't know what to say, so he had to come up with an American values, true love comes first.

"I said embarrassment, that's not what I meant..." Spielberg interrupted Ronald, "I mean I have something to ask for your help... I shouldn't have troubled you with this kind of personal matter."

"Me?" Ronald was surprised, "I have nothing to do with your divorce? Do you have to witness your divorce after witnessing your marriage? Do Jews have this custom?"

"Your testimony is really needed, but not a divorce..." Spielberg was amused, and he regained some sense of humor.

It turned out that he really needed Ronald to witness.

The divorce application submitted by Amy Irwin belongs to the category of uncontested divorce.That is to say, the husband and wife have reached a consensus on the reasons for divorce and the responsibility for the breakdown of the marriage, as well as the division of property.

They were married in New Mexico, and Spielberg went there because the equal share principle was not recognized there.During the three and a half years of marriage, the wealth earned by the two will not be unprincipled and divided in half, but will be considered comprehensively based on their prenuptial agreement and their contribution to the wealth.

But the permanent residence of the two is in California, so their divorce case is still submitted to the California court.Of course, the California courts must also respect the laws of the place where the marriage took place, and will not divide the money according to the California principle of equal sharing.

Generally speaking, after obtaining the uncontroversial application and the prenuptial agreement that Spielberg wrote on the napkin at the time, the judge basically just ordered the division of property.

But this judge, however, had an unexpected problem.Whether it's because he's a fan of Amy Irving, or because he was unhappy with Spielberg letting ET go home, he initiated a judicial review of the terms of Spielberg's divorce agreement.

The focus of the dispute is the legality of the terms of the prenuptial agreement written on the napkin.Was Amy Irving fully informed at that time, the specific content of the agreement, whether she had a lawyer explaining it to her, whether she was coerced or deceived, and so on.

As the impromptu best man and witness of Spielberg's wedding, Ronald was also included in the witness list.

"What? I want to testify in court? To prove that you didn't cheat on Amy before you got married?" Ronald felt absurd.Why do you want me to be a witness when you get divorced?I don't know your wife that well...

"This is really embarrassing. There is no need to go to court, but to collect evidence (Deposition) in the presence of lawyers from both parties. I will let my lawyer talk to you." Spielberg also felt that this kind of privacy was spread out The inspection was embarrassing, but I had to ask Ronald for help.

His property is close to one billion dollars, and the money he earned during his marriage with Amy is also two to three hundred million.If this is judged to be divided equally, it will far exceed the price of the divorce of old friend George Lucas.

"Witnesses will testify under the questioning of the other party's lawyer and in the presence of the court recorder. All of this is strictly confidential. In addition to me, you'd better have your own lawyer present, so that privacy and you can be guaranteed to the greatest extent. Interests.

If the other party's lawyer's question is beyond the scope, we can lodge a protest. All of this is done in a fair and confidential environment, and there is absolutely no possibility of any leaks. I can guarantee this, and my client, Mr. Spielberg, also Don't let your friends get caught up in gossip reports.

At that time we will use special arrangements to enter another law firm, and those reporters will not find it. "

This professional arrangement dispelled Ronald's worries. He called Lindsay Dole and got the same answer.The two arranged a good time, and Ronald agreed to collect evidence.

"Thank you, Ronald, I will never forget your help." Spielberg came over and hugged Ronald specifically, thanking his friends who were still on his side at this time.

"Take care, the gossip media will be guarding your door these two days." Ronald patted Spielberg.

Divorce is scary.
