Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 511

"Boji Shields and Lucas are expected to cooperate, and the young director Ronald Lee may become a screenwriter candidate."

At a New York airport, three Hollywood celebrities are cornered by the media.As CAA has run, the main focus has been on Brooke Shields and Lucas, with Ronald only rumored to land a hard-working role.

Brooke went directly back to Princeton, and Ronald bought a plane ticket back to Los Angeles on the spot, preparing to attend this year's Hollywood awards show.

All Hollywood people hope to attend this event.In order to build momentum for the two new films, Ronald also had to squeeze his head to get an admission ticket.This is not only a Vanity Fair, but also a good place to accept interviews and promote movies for free.

Brooke is determined to quit the entertainment industry and become a good student at Princeton, so she has no choice but to find another female partner.

Ronald called Diane in New York.

"Who is it!" Diane yelled on the phone, seemingly angrily.

"It's me, Ronald. I want you to be my girlfriend at the Oscars."

"No time!" Diane turned over in the bed. She didn't sleep until midnight last night, and she just let out the breath when she was woken up.

"What's the matter, Diane, have you forgotten the last time we attended the Oscars together?"

"Why don't you go to Brooke Shields!"

"No," Ronald said anxiously, "Didn't you just want to be happy now?"

"What did I say? Why don't you go find Brooke to accompany you?" Diane was so angry that he just ran into Ronald.

"Me?" Ronald was speechless for a moment.

"You want me to go with you? Why didn't you look for me during the Golden Globe Awards? I happened to be free at that time." Di Anjue was speechless when Ronald said, hehe laughed, and then began to act like a baby.

"I was doing 'breakdancing' at that time, and now I just finished my work. My agent helped me find two invitations. How can the Golden Globe Awards be as good as the Oscars?" Ronald hurriedly fawned over him.

"I'm busy."

"you……"

"I'm really not free," Diane softened her tone, "There are still some scenes in the Cotton Club that I haven't finished filming, and I have to work on it slowly." Yesterday, the filming lasted until midnight, and Diane hasn't gotten up yet.

"Can't you take a vacation with Coppola?" Ronald asked.

"Hey, I think so too, Oscar. Richard Gere wanted to ask for leave and got scolded by him. I think Coppola is under a lot of pressure now, you know? Directors of many other Orion projects are talking bad about him , just like Michael Cimino, who brought down United Artists two years ago..."

"Hey……"

Ronald hung up the phone, unbelieving, can't even find a girlfriend?

He took out the phone book and looked at them one by one.

He called Helen Slater again. Anyway, what he said was to suspend it. It doesn't matter if he is the female partner of an important party, right?
"Helen, I'm Ronald. I want to invite you to Los Angeles to attend the Oscars and be my girlfriend."

"Sorry, Ronnie. I've already figured it out. The first movie won't be released. I'm not cut out to be a movie actor. Now I'm studying in an off-Broadway theater in New York, and I'm going to focus on acting from now on. Last time you saw Helen Hunt is with me." Helen seemed to recover a lot, and she laughed a lot when she spoke.

"I also started to practice jazz piano again, and Gerald said that he could help me contact the record company. Now my schedule is very full." Helen's life is very fulfilling now.

"But I'm glad you remembered me. You can ask your agent to help you find a female partner. I'm currently working on a modern drama, and I'm an understudy for the heroine. I really can't leave."

"All right……"

"Natasha Kinski?" Ronald turned to another name. "Hello, Natasha..."

"Miss Kinski no longer lives here."

"Demi Moore?" "Beep beep...the apartment phone number is empty."

Ronald could not find a suitable female companion either.It is inappropriate for the two ex-girlfriends to be married, and the others are related to work, or they have lost contact for a long time and have no news.

I am really self-inflicted.A side effect of focusing on short-term happiness is that the girl you date doesn't take her own affairs as seriously.

How good is this, do you really want CAA to help you find a girlfriend?It also seemed too incompetent.

"Hello? Nisita, why don't you help me find a female companion." If you lose face, you need to find a female companion. It will be even worse if you go to the Oscar scene alone.

"Um... now?" Nisita was also caught off guard, the awards were about to be presented soon, and it was not easy to find a temporary female companion who needed to be in the same position.

"Let me see, Cher, um, she has a boyfriend, Val Kilmer. Debra Winger, um, her boyfriend is Governor Bob Kerry of Nebraska. ..."

Nisita found a secretary, searched for a long time, and finally found a suitable female companion, "How about Shirley Maclaine?"

"Don't be kidding, is she fifty? I watched her black-and-white movie 'Peach Apartment' in college to learn screenwriting."

"Hey, I'm not kidding. Where can I find a suitable female companion now, if it's not Shirley... well, anyway, would you like it? She was a great beauty when she was young."

"Is there no other choice?"

"No," Nisita said angrily.

"Hi Ronnie, nice to meet you. Let me see, you beautiful boy," Shirley Maclean appeared with Ronald at a party two days before the Oscars, sponsored by CAA.

"Did you know? My favorite movie is 'The Apartment,' which got me a top grade in my screenwriting class."

"Oh, hahahaha..." Shirley Maclean narrowed her eyes with a smile, "Let me tell you a secret. When you came in just now, I showed you a physiognomy. Your previous life was from Huaguo."

"Huh?" Ronald was startled, this Shirley Maclean is a bit level.

"Don't believe it, I have been able to see the past lives of many people since I opened my eyes. I am familiar with the country of Hua, and the women there can hold up half the sky. She met me, and she also understands movies."

After listening to her talk, Ronald finally understood why no one wanted to attend the Oscars with Maclean.

This celebrity has been obsessed with aliens and the theory of reincarnation in the past two years. She talks about looking at people every day, and what she says is sensible and absurd. Hollywood regards her as a joke.

She claims to have seen her past life as a resident of Atlantis.He also claimed to have seen UFOs many times.

However, Ronald was a little skeptical of what she said, because the other party called out his past life as soon as he opened his mouth.

But when she wasn't freaking out, Shirley Maclean was a very pleasant lady to be around.She is well-informed and has worked with many big directors and stars in the past.Her younger brother is the Hollywood Golden Bachelor with a different surname, Warren Beatty.

This time at the Oscars, her role in "Terms of Endearment" is a big nomination winner.Director James Brooks was nominated for Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay, and Best Director.

There are also two actors each, nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor.Especially after the actress, both Shirley McLean and Debra Winger, who played her daughter in the movie, were nominated, which is also rare in history.

This movie made Ronald feel that the filming was very real, and the performances of the actors were top-notch.In the end, eleven nominations were received.

On April [-], Ronald returned to Dorothy Chandler Hall.After he got out of the car, he waited for the arrival of Shirley Maclean.

A flash of light flashed, and Shirley McLean was wearing a pink dress and pink high heels.Ronald held out his arm for Maclean to hold.Today, her blouse is a big V-neck and she wears a diamond necklace. She has an extraordinary temperament. It is impossible to tell that she is still full of vitality at the age of 50.

"You are very beautiful today" Ronald praised.

"Oh, Ronald, you're so sweet," Shirley Maclean kissed him.

Walking forward in the crowded crowd, Ronald and Shirley walked across the aisle, and the two entered the hall.

The seats of the "Mother and Daughter Love" crew are concentrated in the first three rows behind the middle aisle.Ronald saw that sitting in the first row was Debra Winger who played the daughter.

"Humph!"

The eyes of the two actress nominees split instantly.

Ronald felt that the rumors might be true. The two leading actresses were hostile to each other on the set.

"Jack," McLean saw Jack Nicholson sitting on the other side.

"Shirley," another golden bachelor, Jack Nicholson tongue-kissed Maclean, who played lovers in the movie.Jack played a retired astronaut, and the flirting scene between the two on the beach made Ronald feel that the filming was very well done.

The two found the third row at the end of the crew and sat down. Ronald noticed that the rest of the crew didn't talk to McLean very much, maybe they were annoyed by her talking about past lives and aliens every day.

"I think you will definitely win the Best Actress crown tonight," Ronald said quietly to Maclean after sitting down.He really thinks that Shirley Maclean's acting rank is much higher than that of Debra Winger, and also better than that of Merrill, who was also nominated for best actress in another nominated harvest film "Silkwood Incident (Silkwood)". Streep, and Cherqiang, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress.

Shirley is not as confident as he is. She has been nominated four times before, and she was disappointed every time.

"Next month will be my 50th birthday. I don't think I will be able to realize my dream. You must know that if you don't get the actress before [-], the role of mother will leave you. If you get a good role, you will have to Wait until after sixty to play grandma."

Maclean is very self-aware, a Hollywood actress, she has already acted as a virgin and a slut, and then only mother and grandma can act.

"I'm serious, it's not a compliment." Ronald saw her a little lost, so he counted her wonderful performances in the mother-daughter relationship, "My favorite part is you and Jack Nicholson on the beach. In a flirtatious act, he puts his hand under your blouse all of a sudden, and your reaction is absolutely incredible."

"Ah...hahahaha..." Maclean was amused by Ronald and patted his arm.

"Jack Nicholson just likes to come up with strange moves. He has thought of many kinds of acting methods in advance, and each method is performed in a different way, which can stimulate the real reaction of the opponent." Shirley knew that Ronald was a young director. It's the right way to chat with him about acting.

"I don't understand, why you and Deborah?" Ronald motioned to Debra Wenger in front.

"This is all the director's problem. In fact, there is nothing wrong with us, but the director Brooks always likes to create conflicts and competition between us, because in the movie..."

"In the movie, is the mother-daughter relationship like that of love and hatred?" Ronald understood. It turned out that Director Brooks, like Coppola, deliberately let the actors enter into a similar relationship with the characters, so that their reactions would be It's all natural.

It's just that the side effects are too great, making the two actors look like enemies.

Shirley and Ronald were chatting and laughing, and found that they were more speculative, Shirley sent him an invitation, "Whether I can win an Oscar or not, you must come to my birthday party next month, I think you are too Interesting."

"Okay, I will definitely go, but I have great confidence in you, and I will definitely get it tonight."

"Don't set my expectations too high. The Best Actress award is awarded very late. Don't make me wait for three hours too excitedly, and then return disappointed."

"Won't……"

While talking, the lights dimmed, and the live symphony orchestra was conducted by a black conductor, Quincy Jones, the producer of Michael Jackson's album.

He directed the band, starting with "Return of the Jedi", and played all the theme songs of last year's high-grossing films.

The moderator was Johnny Carson again, and he stepped up to the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the six Academy Awards..."
