Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 154 Chapter 1
"Mr. Scorsese, can I take a moment of your time?" Ronald walked out of the auditorium door as usual after Martin Scorsese arranged the movie "High Noon" shown in today's appreciation class. Stopped him first.

"Long time no see, Ronald. Just call me Marty." Scorsese and Ronald greeted each other, and the two walked out the door to continue chatting.

"Isabella okay?" First came up with an American-style concern for the other's family. Ronald asked Scorsese for help if he had something to do, and he was polite first.

"Ah, she is very good, she cooks good Italian food for me every day." Scorsese smiled and waited for the next topic.

"Hey, that's right. I have a friend who is an actor, and CAA recently signed him. In order to help him grow, CAA agreed to his own request, hoping to have an hour-long interview with several famous directors."

Ronald was entrusted by someone to test out Paula, Tom Cruise's agent, to see if Scorsese could find time to meet Tom.

After the signing of Tom Cruise was completed, Paula immediately flew back to Los Angeles, joined forces with Rick Nisita, and showed Cruise's photos and audition videos to CAA President Ovitz.Ovitz admired Paula's vision very much, and made a long-distance call to ask Tom Cruise which directors he wanted to work with and what requirements he had.

Tom made a list, including director Coppola, Sydney Pollack, Scorsese, and actor Paul Newman.He hopes to have formal exchanges with the people on the list, interviewing each of them for an hour to get a better understanding of the film industry.

Just as Ronald was about to attend Scorsese's class, Paula called and begged him to connect.

Ronald also asked Paula and Nisita. His agent Richard told him that the script "Intersection" about a cross-cultural romantic love story was well received, but the company's senior management was looking for Vietnam War scripts everywhere, hoping to He first wrote the Vietnam War script.

Nisita and Paula promised that if Ronald's Vietnam War script was written at the same level as the intersection point, they could recommend it to the company's senior management, including Ovitz himself, at the meeting.The price was that he was in charge of setting up Scorsese's interview.

"Of course, there is no problem with an hour. Let his agent call my agent. I sleep during the day and ask him to set a time for the evening."

"Thank you, Mr. Scorsese." Ronald was very happy, "How is the editing of your new film going? Last time I was at Pia's house, I heard that it will be released in 79. There is no news about why it has been delayed until now. .”

"Ugh..." Marty Scorsese sighed. "Now it's just me and the editor, editing at my home every night, without any assistants, and the progress is very slow."

"How could this be?"

Scorsese spoke to Ronald about the plight of his new film "Raging Bull."

The dilemma mainly comes from two aspects.The first is starring Bobby De Niro, who insists on not using makeup, but using natural fattening to play the leading role boxer Jack LaMotta.This led to a 6-month hiatus in filming.In the end, De Niro put on 60 pounds and played a convincing old boxing champion, but it also greatly delayed the progress of filming.

The second reason is that the black hole movie "Heaven's Gate", Fat Boy director Cimino, and the pitted United Artists invested all their working capital in this bottomless pit, which caused "Raging Bull" to be short of funds. The assistant can't afford it either.

Scorsese edited at home on an old Moviola editing machine, in a cramped apartment that made it difficult for students to help.

"This movie may be my swan song in Hollywood." Scorsese was a little disappointed.Since his musical "New York, New York" hit the box office the year before last, his chances in Hollywood are limited. Only United Artists, which has always given preferential treatment to directors, can give him money to make films.

"United Artists may not give us any marketing budget. I plan to finish filming this film, and I will go to Europe with Isabella in the future to find some government funds and make some small-scale literary films."

The Swan Song is an allusion describing the artist's last work.Ronald didn't know what to say, so he came to comfort Scorsese.

After calling to tell Paula and Cruise the good news, Ronald drove to an upscale restaurant on 57th Street.Miss Lawyer said that her best friend and roommate, Helen Gable, the assistant prosecutor of King District Southern Prosecutor's Jurisdiction, asked him to invite him to dinner before she was willing to help Pfeiffer get rid of the two liars.

The King's District is actually equivalent to the Manhattan District. The name is different, and it is still a trace left over from the British colonial period. The legal system and administrative system are different.

Ronald called and made a reservation for one of the most expensive restaurants in Manhattan, just at 7 o'clock tonight.

Michelle Pfeiffer had a talent for taking care of men. She made coffee very well and helped him with his dry cleaning. The two had a great time in the apartment. In this way, the price of this treat was not too high.

The waiter at the door helped him park the car.Ronald walked into this Chinese restaurant that opened last year.The antique wooden chair has a Chinese style, and was taken to a good reserved seat by the waiter, Ronald sat down and waited for Miss Prosecutor.

The waiter brought water in a timely manner, Ronald took a sip and looked around.The lampshade on the wall is made into the shape of a folding fan, the black chairs are decorated with red, and all the tableware, tables and chairs have the restaurant's name LOGO on it. Ronald likes this Chinese style very much.

"Ronald?" The waiter brought a beautiful woman in business attire.

A black blouse and skirt, revealing a light green shirt, hair tied behind his head in a ponytail, Ronald felt his eyes brightened, this Miss Prosecutor is very beautiful, very temperamental, it is just right to invite her to eat the expensive Chinese food here worthy.

Ronald quickly stood up to greet her, and the waiter took the beauty into the seat, pushed her up a chair and asked her to sit down.Ronald felt that the beauty looked him up and down carefully, and couldn't help but think: "As expected of a prosecutor, this kind of scrutiny in his eyes makes people nervous. If this happens in court, the witnesses must obediently tell the truth."

"Miss Gable, Mr. Ronald" After the waiter finished the introduction, he delivered the menu.

Ronald grabbed the menu, on the cover was the restaurant's name, Mr. Chow.Opening the inside pages, they are all traditional Chinese government dishes.

"Then I ordered some dishes on my own?" Ronald asked the beautiful prosecutor opposite.

"Oh, do you know Chinese food? I'll just listen to you." Helen Gable's voice was slightly hoarse and very sexy.

"Satay chicken and steamed dumplings for starters, half a serving of Peking duck, crispy beef, Qingjiang vegetables, fried rice with shrimps, and a bottle of red wine for the main course."

Ronald saw that the dishes on other tables were too small, so he simply ordered more varieties.

When the pre-order and the first hot dish came, Ronald felt that the color and aroma of the color and aroma were very good. He didn't know if the taste of the dish would suit the appetite of the beautiful prosecutor.

The prosecutor was very satisfied with the taste of the dishes, and even said that Ronald knew good food and was a qualified New York bachelor.

The two chatted happily, and the waiter brought the main course, Peking duck, and noodle sauce in good time.

"Can you wrap roast duck?" Ronald asked the beautiful prosecutor.

The beauty shook her head slightly, signaling no with her eyes.

"Then let me help you. First take the bread, then put a slice of duck on it, scoop a little sauce, add cucumber, so that you can wrap it up and eat it." Ronald said, and handed the wrapped roast duck to Helen Gable.

Helen stared straight at Ronald, grabbed Ronald's hand with her hand, then directly took the wrapped roast duck with her lips, and bit it lightly.

Ronald only felt itchy as the beautiful prosecutor's tongue brushed over his fingers.

"This sauce is delicious," the beautiful prosecutor added another sauce that was squeezed out of Ronald's hand.

"I thought the price Miss Lawyer mentioned meant an expensive dinner." Ronald thought to himself.

"Tap and pull", as if there was a sound of shoes falling under the table, Ronald just wanted to lower his head when he felt a long leg in silk stockings close to his calf, slowly rubbing it, and then all the way up, until he reached the above the knee.

"Hiss..." Ronald felt a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly took a sip of the ice water, "I'll wrap another roast duck for you."

The beautiful prosecutor gave him a coquettish look, "You are really interesting, I just like you to feed me."

"Will I go to your place or mine?" The prosecutor's hoarse voice, full of seductive words came out of her mouth, which was extremely uncontrollable.

Prosecutors in America, in essence, can be regarded as public prosecutors representing the people. The Miss Prosecutor is dressed similarly to a lawyer, with a suit and uniform, neatly combed black hair, and a faint blush caused by red wine on her cheeks, making Ronald a little Mind swaying.

"Michelle is still at my house...I have to..."

Before Ronald could finish speaking, the beautiful prosecutor said, "Then you are going to my house? I haven't brought the man I met for the first time home for a long time."

"Hehehe..." The prosecutor smiled happily. The best friend and roommate Lindsay Dole was rightly introduced, tall and strong, except for the dirty golden hair and amber eyes, he is simply a replica of Superman, especially when he stood up to greet him just now When I was young, I could see that my waist and legs were strong and strong.

"Ahem..." Ronald choked on the water, poured half a glass on the table and on his body, and quickly picked up the napkin to wipe it.

"Sorry, Miss Gable," Ronald stood up, and I went to the bathroom.

Facing the mirror, he wiped his water-soaked trousers with a towel. Ronald scooped up some cold water and splashed it on his face. Finally, he suppressed his impulse and walked back to the table.

Belle Attorney Helen Gable is no longer at the table.Could it be that he went out to pick up the car?Is this too impatient?Ronald had a struggle in his heart. For one woman's affairs, going to another woman's house, is this a scumbag?
But on the other hand, a man's instinct is ready to move.

Ronald was thinking, Miss Prosecutor came over:

"I'm sorry, Ronald, I received a page. I have a big case and I have to rush to the scene. Our appointment will be saved until next time? Rain Check?"

"Okay." Ronald said two words with difficulty and luck.

"Don't worry, Lindsay will teach you how to apply for a court injunction. The prosecution will make a legal action based on the report of the Southern District Police Department in Manhattan, subpoenaing the two people. In this way, the court can approve Lindsay's case based on this evidence. Apply."

"Thank you, Miss Gable."

"Don't forget our agreement." The beautiful prosecutor hurried out of Mr. Zhou's restaurant.

Ronald sat down and drank another big sip of ice water, then raised his glass, "Waiter, give me some more ice water!"
