Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 474 Chapter 1 When is the wedding?

"Wow..." The curtains were gently pulled aside, and Diane was still sleeping on the bed. With a smile on her lips, she dreamed of returning from a Broadway performance when she was a child, sitting in the back seat of a taxi driven by her father Bert, curled up on the seat sleep.

"Diane, Diane..."

In the dream, Bert called her softly, and the car seemed to be parked in front of a low-rent apartment in the lower city.

"Hmm..." Burt's face and voice in Diane's dream gradually changed to Ronald's.

Di'an hasn't slept so soundly for a long time, the pressure is gone, the morning sun seems to find her body, and it's warm.

She opened her eyes. Ronald was wearing pajamas, pushing a breakfast cart full of various foods, calling her name softly.

"I don't know what you want to eat, so I ordered a little."

"Hmm..." Diane finally hugged the warm blanket, which still contained the crazy atmosphere of last night.Next to it is the expensive Armani costume, neatly placed on the sofa.

She sat up, put on Ronald's big shirt casually, put the pillow behind her back, took a sip of a glass of milk, looked into Ronald's eyes, and said innocently:

"When will you tell Bert about our affairs? He is already preparing the expenses for my wedding, but he doesn't have much money. Don't make the wedding too grand."

Ronald was stunned... why is Diane such a girl?
"Are you sure?"

Diane nodded with a smile, "Bert always said that it's okay to experience love as an actor, but if you have a boyfriend in your life, you must take it home. He will screen for me..."

"I'm filming 'Kids of Dragon' right now, and I'm going back to New York for vacation before Christmas. When is your new film starting? Let's find a time."

Ronald thought about his time arrangement, but he didn't expect his marriage to be decided like this.Diane knew it all the time, if she really got married... there's nothing wrong with it... right?

No, Diane is lying to herself.

Ronald saw the uncontrollable smile on Diane's face.

"Hahahaha..." Diane burst out laughing and wrapped the quilt tightly, "Donna is right, as long as I say that, you will definitely propose on the spot."

Ronald realized that Diane was joking with him, laughed too, and stretched out his hand to Diane's armpit to tickle.

"Hahaha..." Diane begged for mercy as her breathing became heavier, "Donna and I just want to try."

"Girls Just Want to Have Fun?" Ronald remembered what Donna said to himself for no reason that day.

"Yeah, I don't want you to be restrained too much. I'm going back to New York to join the set soon. Eat more. Director Coppola just returned to the set, so he told me to eat a little fatter." Diane began to choose breakfast.

"What's the name of your new film?"

"The Cotton Club."

Diane started to grab the bread on the table, mixed it with bacon, and ate it with sausage and baked beans.

"It's good not to be picky about food," Ronald thought Diane was cute.

The two chatted while eating. Coppola had a falling out with producer Robert Evans during the filming of "Cotton Club". Vince had a choice between the two.

In the end, the studio chose to trust Coppola.They persuaded Orion to add an additional $2000 million to this masterpiece, which Coppola had high hopes for.

Ronald couldn't help frowning, the bank loan that Coppola owed hadn't been repaid yet.His house and vineyard are still mortgaged.

Shaking his head, Ronald also started eating.The physical exertion last night was really a bit heavy.

The two fed each other and laughed for a long time.

"Where are you going today?"

"I have nowhere to go, what about you?" Diane wore Ronald's big shirt and went to take a shower with bare legs.

"The crew is temporarily suspended. Producer Weintraub and Columbia's top executives are watching the samples. I will probably go back to work on Monday."

"Then you can stay with me for a day." Diane stuck his head out of the bathroom and said.

"Of course." Ronald gathered together a pair of red diamond high heels that were far away on the floor.

"Dangdang..." Diane quickly finished washing, and came out wrapped in a big bath towel. She hummed the lyrics of "Girls just want to have some fun", pretended to be a fashion model, and walked out on tiptoe and catwalk.

Knowing that Diane was imitating his costume change in "Night of the Comet", Ronald whistled encouragement.

"Girls just want to have fun, just want to have some fun." Diane threw the towel aside like a fashion, approached Ronald, and then straddled Ronald's lap.

Ronald looked at Diane's smiling face, touched the small scar next to her right eye with his hand, and then hugged her tightly.Ronald was fascinated by the smooth back and the scent of shampoo in his hair.

Meanwhile, Weintraub was in the screening room watching Ronald's first week of dailies with Columbia executives.

"Believe my vision, Ronald definitely has the efficiency of shooting successful exploitation films, and where he needs to, he can also shoot very artistic clips."

Weintraub was speaking well of Ronald.

"Let's take a look first." The high-level executive in Columbia was not originally from the film and television industry. He was parachuted from Coca-Cola, and he is a direct descendant of the current president, David Putnant.

The auditorium began to play the dailies without sync recording.

First, there were two encounters between Daniel and Ali. Daniel fell in love at first sight, and was fascinated by Ali as if struck by lightning.Ali, on the other hand, gradually learned more about Daniel's personality. The two met for the second time in the cafeteria. The poor Daniel took out a few one-dollar bills and paid for Ali's lunch together.

The high-level executives in Columbia were very satisfied with this shot. He couldn't help thinking of the past when he got his first job at Coca-Cola and met the wife of a city girl. The money was not much, but every encounter was always very warm.

Then there are two encounters between Daniel and Master Miyagi.The first time Daniel went to the repair room to ask Miyagi to fix the faucet, Miyagi was obsessed with catching flies with chopsticks, and ignored Daniel's report for repair.

The second time he came to the apartment for repairs, he happened to see Daniel being punched with a panda eye, and he kept practicing karate against the book, wanting revenge.

Columbia executives turned to Weintraub and said, "Who is this? He seems to be an ordinary repairman. The director Ronald gave him a lot of shots."

"This is Master Miyagi who later taught Daniel karate. His apparent occupation is an apartment repairman, but he is actually a karate master."

"Hmm..." The executive nodded, this kind of setting is quite interesting.

Daniel later went to the place where his mother worked and found a karate club across the road.He went in and saw a life-size playing card of Chris, and he couldn't help but want to go in and see if he could sign up.

Unexpectedly, when he got inside, what he saw was Johnny and his partner who beat him up, and he fled quickly from the gymnasium in fright.

"How? Am I right?" Weintraub was actually seeing these samples for the first time, and he was very satisfied with Ronald's handling.

"The filming is good, but Mr. Putnant, the president, doesn't like his reckless personality. The director is not qualified to fire the producer. This is the same everywhere."

"This is my problem. During the few days when I was not on the crew, Charles Okun has been challenging the authority of the director face to face." Weintraub did not hesitate to excuse Ronald, "I promise, as long as my The influence goes back to the crew, and this kind of thing won't happen again."

"Are you willing to guarantee it?" The executive wiped his glasses and asked.

"I would like to endorse him," Weintraub said to Ronald, who had helped him a lot, "and he has recently been rumored to be having an affair with Brooke Shields, and he can get a wave of free media when the movie is released." focus on."

"Okay, I'll report to Mr. Putnant. I'll come back and watch the finished film together after the filming is finished."

Ronald, who stayed in the hotel with Diane for a day, returned home.

The red light on the answering machine kept blinking, and Ronald pressed the play button.

"Ronald, this is Weintraub. Please come to the set on Monday, the matter has been resolved. We can continue filming."

On Monday morning, Ronald came to the filming location of the crew wearing sunglasses.

Diane had already taken the flight back to New York last night. The Cotton Club is the Bronx district of New York. It used to be a black jazz dance hall. Coppola restored the appearance of the entire 20s, waiting for her to go to the real scene to shoot.

Here Ronald is also involved in setting up the scenery, the props group and the scenery group, and arranged the apartment downstairs of the original apartment into the office of Master Miyagi.

Morita Noriyuki is wearing glasses and holding a pair of large scissors, ready to trim the pine trees in the bonsai.

With his mental and physical strength back to peak, Ronald looked at Morita and began Monday's shoot.

"Cut!" Ronald saw that Morita himself couldn't cut the bonsai when he was trimming it, so he quickly stopped.

"Miyagi-sensei is a horticulturist and an artist, so it is impossible for him not to cut it all at once."

"Cut!" After Morita finished cutting the pine branches, he cut it twice again.

"The artist will keep his movements to a minimum. If he doesn't think about it, he won't cut it."

"Cut!" Ronald also laughed, and Morita Noryuki had already cut the bonsai to the very last.

"That way, you put on a look where you're thinking about trimming, and then you look back and see Daniel walking in."

"Diane is like a fire, and I seem to be a little too excited." Ronald poured a cup of black tea from the thermos and stabilized his rhythm.

"Very well, this shot is over."
