Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 470 Chapter 1 Refuting the Rumors
The National Enquirer is a tabloid.Tabloids not only refer to gossip-based content, but also have a smaller layout than big newspapers that report serious news in various places.It is convenient for readers to read on the subway and bus.

Agent Richard handed over this issue of the "National Enquirer", and the headline on the front page showed a photo of Ronald and Brooke Shields. Two men and women over six feet tall were killed by Blair Arch. Photographed walking side by side.

On the left and right sides of the group photo are the headshots of the two, each with an arrow pointing to the two blurred heads in the group photo.

"BRAIN BETTER FACE AND BIRTHDAY?" Below is the headline in yellow capitals on a red background.Then came the subtitle, "Famous R-rated film director Ronald Lee, Brooke Shields' new love?" Ronald continued to look down.

"Does your teeth hurt when you eat hot, cold, sour and sweet food? Simple ways to get rid of your troubles..."

"Oh, it's not about me and Brooke." Ronald looked away from the subtitle under the photo that had nothing to do with him, and opened the inside page of the newspaper. There was a page dedicated to his love history with Brooke Shields .

At the beginning of the article, I first dug up the famous CK jeans advertisement of director Ronald Shields, and then listed Brooke Shields' rumored boyfriends who were known as "the new looks of the 80s" by category.

Categorized under "faces" are John Travolta, Matt Dillon, and teen icon Leif Garrett.Ronald didn't really believe these rumors, especially Dillon. In fact, he knew that he was tricked by Brooke's mother Terry to take pictures for the media.

Next is classified in the column of "family background", Prince Albert of the Principality of Monaco. The two once participated in the Monaco Celebrity Tennis Tournament at the same time, and there are photos of riding the same yacht.

"This man has such a high hairline, why didn't Grace Kelly inherit any looks from him?" Ronald began to complain.This column is full of very powerful competitors.

Then there was Dodi Fayyad, a wealthy Egyptian businessman, grandson of the royal physician to King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia.Owns many properties including Harrods department store in London.Once invested in the British film "Chariots of Fire", and was photographed meeting Brooke in Paris.

"I thought it was the prince of Saudi Arabia. I heard that there are many princes there, but they are just the prince's doctor."

And finally there was the darling of mothers all over America, John Kennedy Jr., the son of a former Grand Commander, the little boy who saluted his father's coffin at his funeral.Now a celebrity in New York, a student at Brown University, who once persuaded Brooke to go to Brown University in Rhode Island.

Ronald's smile gradually solidified. This is different from the previous two. The people of America have transferred their memory of the assassinated commander to their son with the same name as their father. Everyone is waiting for him to grow up. See what he does.Thousands of girls also longed to marry him and be his wife.

Maybe Brooke Shields has such an idea.

Then Ronald looked to his side, only a solitary head.

Actress Michelle Pfeiffer, according to reliable sources from this newspaper, she and Ronald Lee used to be lovers, but Pfeiffer has married another actor, Holden.

The up-and-coming actress is believed to be in the lead role in the upcoming Brian De Palma film "Scarface," alongside Al Pacino partner.

Ronald felt a little uncomfortable, didn't this form bury himself.Brooke's side is either dating a family member, or a star in the film and music circles.There is only Pfeiffer on my side, and then hastily introduced that he is an R-rated film director and has also filmed the "notorious" CK jeans commercial, which caused Brooke to fall into controversy.

"How do they know that Pfeiffer and I used to be lovers?" Ronald asked. He was not a celebrity like Brooke, so no one would dig out his love history.

"You were involved in a dispute with the vegetarian extremist group in New York at the time. You helped her apply for a court injunction, remember? That is public information of the court and can be found." Agent Nisita said.

"I've already contacted Limato, Pfeiffer's agent, and he said he'll get this sorted out, but you might want to call Pfeiffer to say hello."

"I know, let's wait until I'm done." Ronald sighed, after all, he disturbed other people's peaceful married life.

"Terry was in Princeton and was interviewed by the media with his daughter." Nisita brought a video tape, which was played in front of the school gate.

"I want my daughter to be as innocent as possible. The longer the better, she is a Catholic. I believe that Brooke will keep her vow and keep her innocence on the eve of the wedding." The former set the tone for her daughter's scandal.

"Ronald is Brooke's friend. They have collaborated in CK jeans commercials. This time, they came to Princeton to film the new movie 'The Dragon Boy'. It's not a couple's date, or an old friend meeting."

Ronald rubbed his ears. Terry is a smart woman. She knows that Ronald and Brooke have a crush on each other. If she categorically denies that they are not dating, her daughter may be upset. It is okay to mention Ronald's new movie. Show favor in disguise. "

Brooke wore a black and white top and skirt, with a string of pearl necklaces around her neck. She explained to reporters that she asked them not to take photos of themselves casually, as it would disturb college classmates and their friends.

"The next time you're dating a star of Brooke's level, remember to let us know in advance so I can find you a good PR." Nisita winked at Ronald.

It was already the evening of the second day, and the two agents, shocked by the overwhelming gossip news, rushed to the filming location to discuss with Ronald.Brooke's mother Terry handles this kind of thing very freely, and she contacted the media to clarify the rumors.

It was getting dark, and Ronald began to prepare for the night scene.Following yesterday's plot, Ali and Daniel were playing football on the beach and fell to the ground together. Just above the Cobra Gym foursome riding a motorcycle saw that ex-boyfriend Johnny was so angry that he rushed down to argue with Ali. .

Ronald first shot a few shots of motorcycle boys roaring towards them. In the dark night, several motorcycle headlights first came into the camera from a distance, followed by the sound of roaring engines, and finally the leather-clothed boy on a motorcycle.

A red leather jacket worn by William Zebka is particularly conspicuous.His companion spotted Ali on the beach below and motioned for him to look over.

"Hey, you are already in the past tense." The friend's kind persuasion, in Johnny's eyes, added fuel to the fire. He rushed down to talk to Ali about getting back together.

"Cut!" Ronald was very satisfied with the performances of these leading actors. After two weeks of rehearsals, everyone knew how far the plot had progressed, and how much effort was needed to express the emotions they should have.

Coupled with Ronald's sequential shooting, the actor's mentality changes according to the plot, and the succession and transition are very good.

Associate producer Charles Okun stepped forward, "Ronald, I want to ask, why did you turn on the headlights of the motorcycle and turn off the front lights?"

Ronald looked around and remembered that Susan Akins hadn't come to the beach today either.The associate producer, Charles Okun, took the opportunity to challenge his decision in front of the crowd.

"I'm not obliged to explain it to you." Ronald didn't speak, but asked the crew to further prepare for the next fight scene.

"Ronald, Susan is not here. I have the right and the obligation to ask my own questions during the filming process." Charles Okun looks good, and he is still very personable in his sixties.Speaking of which, those crew members who didn't know the inside story were a little swayed by what he said.

"Then wait for the print to come out, and we'll see it with Mr. Weintraub. Now get on with the work."

"Well, I was just trying to make the best movie possible, your script is great, but the movie is..."

"Continue to arrange the next game." Ronald waved all the staff to continue working, interrupting Charles Okun's plan to continue questioning himself.

Ali brought a radio with two big speakers, playing popular music.

"Ali, I want to talk to you." Johnny pressed the stop button and said to Ali.

Elizabeth Su is still wearing the same sweater and blue hairpin as yesterday. This is the part that the scene director is responsible for. The scenes shot at different times have the same costumes and sets.

"I don't want to tell you that we are over." Ali pressed the play button again.

"But I want to say it!" Johnny couldn't control his anger, and pressed the stop button again. The two exchanged words, and Johnny threw the tape recorder to the beach.

"You broke my tape recorder!" Ali's voice became louder, and she pushed Johnny away.

Daniel went to pick up the tape recorder.

"Don't move, you idiot." Johnny turned his anger on Daniel, seeing that Daniel wanted to return the tape recorder to Ali, he pushed him to the ground.

Daniel stood up and rushed over to express his dissatisfaction. He tripped over him with a leg sweep, and when he stood up, he rolled over and kicked again, giving Daniel a powerful blow.

This action is actually a Korean Taekwondo technique, which has been integrated into the Korean style karate-Tang Soo Do.Pat Johnson trained William Zebka for four weeks, and he's done beautifully.

Daniel got up from the sand again, stalked Johnny, and punched him on the nose.When Daniel was in New Jersey, he used to practice karate books by himself for a while.Johnny was unprepared and was embarrassed by him.

"Cut!" Ronald was very happy that he had stayed for two weeks to film all the action scenes between the two of them with a Sony camera and then study them.Both of them cooperated countless times in this sparring action. When Ralph Mazio hit the past, William Zebuka had to dodge, otherwise his nose would really bloom.

"Is this action going to be too intense? When it comes time to rate..." Deputy producer Charles Okun came up again to "comment" and said it loudly on purpose.

Many staff members looked over, and they were a little hesitant to openly challenge the authority of the director, the holder of the title of producer with the highest status on the scene.

Ronald looked around and understood a little bit.Weintraub's tragicomedy yesterday was known only to a few people who went to watch the sample, but not to the general public.They saw that Susan Ekins, who is also an associate producer, did not appear on the scene today, and Charles Okun began to challenge publicly, because they saw this.

"However, who gave him the courage?" Ronald wondered, wondering if Weintraub and Susan Akins are my strong backing?
"Continue shooting first. If there is a problem, I will be responsible." Ronald chose to take full responsibility and ordered the crew to continue shooting.

Charles Okun also seemed to have achieved his goal, and stopped talking.

Weintraub was away and did not see the dailies after filming was complete.Ronald and his agent, who had been waiting for him on set, went to Michelle Pfeiffer's agent, Ed Limato.

"Ronnie, Ronnie, do you want to accept an interview to confirm the history between you and Pfeiffer? And by the way, let me mention your new movie with Pfeiffer." Limato hugged Ronald with a smile.

"No, I still don't want to disturb Pfeiffer's married life. It's up to you to come forward and deny it." Ronald read the report today, and he felt unnamed anger at John F. Kennedy Jr., and also at Brooke's handling. A little uncomfortable.

If I take the opportunity to clarify the past with Pfeiffer, I can give some publicity to the new film of the two.But Pfeiffer's husband was going to be as uncomfortable as himself.

"Confucius said, don't do to others what you don't want done to you," Ronald said.

"What?" Limato didn't understand.

"I said what Confucius said, don't gossip about other people."

"Hahaha, well, you can call her and talk about it yourself." Limato called Pfeiffer without forcing her.

"Hey, Michelle, it's me, Ronald. I'm sorry to involve you in this matter." Ronald picked up the phone and said.

"Oh, Ronnie. It's okay, I have a chance to appear on the screen." Michelle Pfeiffer's soft voice sounded in Ronald's ear, and she asked, "Are you really with Brooke...? "

"No, we were just photographed walking together, and what her mother clarified is the truth." Ronald felt a little innocent, but not really together.

"Well, I thought you proposed to her, hahaha."

"Is it so obvious?" Ronald wondered if he really had this problem before?When I see a girl, I want to be tied up.It seems that among the previous girlfriends, only ballet girlfriend Antonia also looks forward to marriage, maybe because she is also a Catholic?

"When will your new movie be released? I heard it's co-starring with Al Pacino."

"I'm the heroine, but it's mainly a gangster movie. I'll be a vase at most. The premiere is on December [-]st. Are you coming? I'll ask Limato to give you an invitation."

"Eh... I'm still filming, next time I have a chance..."

"So...that's it?" Michelle Pfeiffer said.

"That's it, bye." Ronald hung up the phone.

Michelle Pfeiffer on the other end was nibbling an apple at her own home. She sighed and hung up the phone.
