Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 456 You are late
"Hi, Brooke, I'm Ronald." Ronald counted the time and called Brooke Shields' home in New Jersey.After the kissing incident, he never talked about it with Brooke.

"Hi, Ronnie." Brooke's voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little shy.

"Honey, come and see Brooke's hairdresser. What kind of hairstyle should I have today? Who are you calling?" Brooke's mother, Terry, brought out a plastic model, which was strictly in accordance with Brooke's hairdresser. The head shape is customized.

Terry always wears various wigs on this model, and comes to confirm today's hairstyle with Brooke, so he named it Brooke Hairdresser.

"It's Ronald," Brooke said to her mother, covering the microphone.

"Is it Terry? I'm calling to ask if you have received the invitation of 'Longwei Boy'. I am directing this movie now." Ronald heard Terry talking on the phone.

When Terry heard that it was Ronald, he had to admit that he rushed to rescue his daughter from the car accident, so he just pouted and mouthed "No" to his daughter.

"Well, Ronnie. I got an offer, but you know, I got accepted to Princeton, which is my dream, so I won't be in this kind of long-term film project for the time being. If your film can be postponed until the holidays During... oh, okay." Brooke also made a "I rejected him" mouth shape to Terry.

"Well, I know you're going to college, I'm just calling to try my luck."

"I'm going to Princeton soon, and I'm packing my luggage now. Princeton promised to give me an ordinary dormitory. I'm very excited to think that I can live in a dormitory with a history of hundreds of years."

"Will you come when I start school? There was a party at my old house in New York... Oh, I see, you have to work on movies, so... that's it?"

Brooke hung up the phone, touched her lips, lost in memory for a moment.

Ronald also hung up the phone, relieved.Weintraub suddenly wanted to find Brooke to play the role. If Brooke agreed, he would be killed if he trained her acting skills.But on the other hand...he also thought of the kiss that Brooke fled.

"Honey, who are you calling?" Helen recovered from the blow and went out to relax with her friends in the morning. When she came back, she saw Ronald holding the phone in a daze.

"Oh, it's Brooke. Brooke Shields, she turned me down."

"She rejected you?" Helen was startled when she heard Ronald say that.

"She's going to Princeton to study. She can't play the heroine of Longwei Boy. Another heroine candidate I'm optimistic about is also going to Harvard. I hate Ivy."

"Well, you have to choose someone else, Ronnie." Helen said to Ronald, "Your cousin Donna's flight is coming soon. I have to attend the reporter interview of Supergirl in the afternoon. When I come back, we will Let's meet and talk again."

Then Helen looked into the full-length mirror and gestured at her booty, "What do you think of me wearing this? My friends and I visited many second-hand dress shops." Helen took out the second-hand dresses she bought in the morning.

The slightly pink dress perfectly complemented Helen's complexion, Ronald nodded, "It's very good, but why do you wear second-hand clothes every time? I also made an appointment with the fashion designer Mr. Giorgio Armani. Provide a dress..."

"Why? I don't look good in this dress? It's too wasteful for American people now. If we can save some, the children in those third world countries can get food and medical care."

"Ah..." Ronald remembered that Helen's mother was an environmentalist and an anti-nuclearist.She also volunteers to provide legal defense to many environmental groups.

"But I have already promised Mr. Armani, I thought you would like a custom dress."

"Honey, I think these are over-consumption. I can buy clothes that I like at a very cheap price, can't I?" Helen picked up the clothes and compared them again.

"Okay," thought Ronald, and then he could only explain it to Mr. Armani.

"Ding dong", the door opened, and it was Ronald's cousin, Donna, standing in front of the door.

"Hello, Ronnie, your place is very spacious." Donna pulled a suitcase with two wheels underneath, which was specially designed for little girls.

"Donna, why are you here by yourself? Didn't I tell you to call me, and I asked Richard to pick you up?"

"No, I visited several colleges in New England, all by myself."

"Hello, Helen." Donna greeted Helen who was dressed.

"You can accompany Donna, my friend will pick me up in a car." Helen and Donna hugged each other, put on pale pink clothes, opened the door and went out.

"Which schools are you going to visit? I'll ask Richard to drive you there. I've been busy with movies recently and can't get away."

"No, I've already passed the driver's license test, you can just lend me the car." Donna reached out to ask for the car keys.

"Can you do it? Does Aunt Karen agree?"

"Of course, she also said I drove well."

"Okay," Ronald reached out and handed the key of the Saab 900 to Donna.

"Where are you going in the afternoon?" Donna got the keys, tried the car, and then came home to pack her bags.

"I'm going to visit Diane's class. The producer, Mr. Weintraub, wants to find out if she is interested in participating in my new movie. I contacted her agent yesterday and went directly to the studio this afternoon."

"Oh, okay, I'll go too, I haven't seen her for a long time." Donna flicked the car keys, just in time to drive Ronald off.

Donna drove carefully, and slowly came to the largest studio in Universal Studios.

The two checked in from the set assistant and got tour passes for an appointment.

As soon as Ronald entered the door, he saw the music director Jim Steinman, the long-haired songwriter, directing his band to set up positions on the stage, and the harmony team composed of four female singers also stood in the back row.

Today is the filming of the concert scene again.Alan Ann, the female rock singer starring Diane Lane, was rescued by Cody from the villains, and then held a concert in her hometown again to make up for the audience's regret.

This time she sang Bruce Springsteen's single, "Streets of Rage" of the same name as the movie.Diane, wearing a backless red costume, began to move on stage.

"Water?", Marlene Jahan, a stuntman dancer, has turned into Diane's attendant, holding a bottle of water, revealing a straw, for Diane to drink.

"Energy bar?" Marlene broke off a small chocolate energy bar and handed it to Diane to replenish her energy.

"Diane!" Donna yelled at her good friend Diane from the railing below the stage.

"Hmm..." Diane took a few bites of the chocolate and waved to the people beside her, asking them to let Donna and Ronald in.

Ronald walked into the stage, and Diane's new costume was also carefully ordered by Giorgio Armani.There is a red dress all over the body, with these diamonds inlaid dots on it, and a big V opening directly to the waist and hips at the back.

Diane wore heavy show makeup, and her face was very suitable for this kind of heavy makeup. Under the light, her high nose cast a shadow on her face.With high combed hair, long eyelashes, and dark eye shadow, she looks very much like a real rock star.

Ronald didn't know Diane a little bit, not only because of her makeup and dress, but also because of the changes in Diane's temperament during the few weeks of filming. All of a sudden, he already had the aura of a star.

Donna climbed onto the stage on hands and feet and hugged her friend.

"Oh... Be careful, don't spoil your makeup." Donna was also very surprised by Diane's changes, and she was a little afraid to recognize her.

"It's okay, I'll ask them to paint again if it takes time." Diane took his good friend to sit on a chair with his name on it, leaving Ronald aside, and the two girlfriends started talking.

Seeing that they were chatting vigorously, Ronald walked aside and greeted the producer Joel Silver.

"So this is nearing completion?" Ronald asked Joel about the filming progress.

"There are still not many shots to be finished. Today is our last scene in this studio. When we finish filming the scene of Diane's concert, the stage and concert scenery here will be demolished."

"When is it going to be released?"

"Around next summer, why do you have time to visit the class today?" Joel asked Ronald's reason for coming.

"My sister," Ronald pointed at Donna, "is Diane's good friend, bring her here today, and ask Diane if she has any work arrangements for the future. I want to ask her to appear in my movie."

"Oh, she's a popular teen star right now, and her agent has been here several times in the last week."

On the other side, Diane and Donna also began to chat quietly.

"You've changed a lot, Diane. I think you're so beautiful now that you look like a movie star. When I was with you before, I didn't feel that you were a female star."

"How is it? Not bad," Diane proudly showed off to her best friend, "My two sets of costumes are both custom-made by Giorgio Armani."

"I think you are like a queen in the crew. Many people are very polite to you. Some people even send you flowers." Donna pointed to the rose next to it, and there was a card on it.

"It was from Michael Pare, the lead actor. I don't like the gringo, but he sends flowers a lot, so I'll leave it alone."

"You're in the crew now, aren't you the boss?" Donna quietly observed the eyes of the people around Diane. Many people were envious, and some women looked at Diane with envy.

"Of course, you don't know. The interpersonal relationship in the crew is too complicated. Look at the woman in the supporting role. She tried to secretly wear my costume last time. And that Rick Moranis, the one with glasses, His boyfriend, who played my role, was always chatting with me, telling his silly jokes."

"Which one? That little guy? He looks a little wretched."

"Yeah, he still thinks his jokes are funny, and he quarreled with Michael Pare a few days ago and almost got into a fight."

"Did you provoke them?" Donna giggled.

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Diane also giggled, and at this moment she showed the appearance of some high school girl.

Donna nudged Diane with her elbow, "Hey, Diane. Do you still like my brother? He seems to have a problem with that Helen. I came here this morning to see that she and Ronnie didn't talk much and went shopping by themselves. .”

"Huh!" Diane sniffled, "My brother who has a crush on a good friend, every girl has this kind of dream, it will be fine when they grow up. I used to have a crush on him, but now..."

"Diane, do you have time to talk?" Ronald couldn't sit still when Joel Silver said that Diane's agent had arranged several auditions for her, so he hurried over to ask.If Diane also has other film contracts, Ronald can only count on "Red Dawn" and Harvard University to let him go, which is a bit of a handover to others.

"Hey, I knew I should have asked Diane earlier." Ronald saw Diane today and found that she was more than enough to play a high school beauty. A dream lover like Ali is not a big problem.

"What's the matter?" Diane turned her head and looked at Ronald, with bright red lips and wavy hairstyle, Ronald was obviously taken aback.During the several months of filming, Diane seems to have cultivated a kind of coquettish star temperament.Behavior is no longer a youthful look.

"How can there be such a big change in a few months?" Ronald put away his thoughts, "Let me ask, do you have any film appointments in the future? My new film 'Longwei Boy' just needs a female lead. "

Diane raised her head slightly, looked at Ronald with charming eyes, and slowly stroked the ends of her hair, "You are late, Ronald. I have promised Director Coppola to star in his new work, Playing a showgirl in the 30s and [-]s, I thought it was somewhat similar to this role, so I agreed."

"Diane? Can we start moving?" the director asked with a microphone next to him.

"Come on," Diane brushed her hair, stood up and walked towards the middle of the stage, posing in a ready pose.

"Turn on the lights and let's see the effect."

With a few clicks of the switch, the million-dollar lighting engineer turned on the overhead lights.Several beams of sunlight came in from the small window on the ceiling, and under the diffuse reflection of the smoke, several light paths appeared, shining on Diane's body, illuminating the broken diamonds as beautifully as a starry sky.

Sargent, the singer under Jim Steinman, came from the stereo, singing on behalf of him, with a metallic voice.

"When the night is dead, you don't care about me anymore,

Your eyes are tired, someone is at your door,
you realize you want to let go
The loser lies in the cold wall, you hug you

In your heart, baby, I ain't a liar, I gotta go"

The lyrics seem to hint at his and Diane's situation. "Hey, it's late." Ronald was so angry that he hammered on the railing with one hand.

In this way, I can only hope that Lee Thompson will not be selected by "Red Dawn", or that Elizabeth Sue's Harvard teacher will be reasonable and let her shoot the movie.
