Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 525 The Handle of Love
"Crack, click", the photographer continued to shoot the rest of the shots.

Ronald watched from the side, curling his lips. The photographer is a woman, and her aesthetic angle can't capture Diane's sexy side.

The photographer's name is Albana Naveize, a beautiful woman with long hair.She also worked as an actress and model before, and once played a supporting role in the famous erotic film "O's Story".

After the filming was completed, Diane went to change clothes, while Ronald stood by and waited.

Cameraman Navitze looks at Ronald.He stared at the distance from the side, and with a slight smile, he looked at the dressing room at the end.

This angle perfectly shows Ronald's perspective of a bystander, full of thinking and observation, which just matches his identity as a director.

So she showed Ronald one too.

"Oh, did you take a picture of me?" Ronald asked, "Don't forget to send it to me then."

"You seem to have a different view on my shooting." Navitze saw Ronald pouted, why don't you take a picture?As she spoke, she handed the 120 medium format camera to Ronald.Professionals always can't tolerate others looking down on their professional ability.

"Ronnie", Diane changed her clothes, wore a red vest and black trousers, took a puff of a cigarette in one hand, and then rubbed her short blonde hair, "Let's go."

Ronald flicked the camera's advance handle and looked at Diane through the viewfinder.In fact, as long as you start from a male point of view, cuteness can be transformed into sexy immediately.

"Click", just press the shutter is Ronald's style.

"Come on, stop smoking." Ronald went up and took the cigarette from her hand and threw it in the ashtray. "It's not good for the actor's teeth and lungs. You will have to speak long lines in the future."

"Got it, brother!" Diane hung on Ronald and kissed him.

"Brother, Ronnie, brother... Brother Ronnie!...Ah!"

Diane hugged Ronald tightly, lying on the bed in Ronald's apartment, her face flushed.

Ronald turned over and lay down, with one arm around Diane's neck, and the other slowly rubbing her stomach.

"Hmm..." Diane made a comfortable sound like a kitten, and leaned into Ronald's arms, "Don't you think I'm fat? Hehehe."

"You seem to be recovering well, you're not fat anymore, you're Muffin Top at most." Ronald touched Diane's slightly protruding belly and smiled. "

"Your Love Handles are not the same." Diane snorted and pinched both sides of Ronald's waist.

Unlike Diane's fat on the stomach, Ronald's fat appeared on the sides of the waist, slightly bulging.

Diane can be easily grasped to increase speed and frequency, so it is also called the handle of love.

Ronald touched his own fat, and sure enough, continuous shooting and reducing exercise showed bad results, and he couldn't even laugh at Diane.

"When are you going to Los Angeles for the 'Streets of Rage' premiere?" Ronald asked, helping Diane straighten his tousled hair.

"I'm not going," Diane buried her head in Ronald's chest, "The director and producer exclaimed to each other after seeing the finished film. Their expressions at that time almost looked like dead people. I don't want to lose face."

"Did you know? They say that movies still have to have a story. It seems that only the picture and atmosphere can't make a blockbuster movie." Diane pulled out a hand and touched the "handle of love", "I knew this, Why don't you write a good story? It made me push the mermaid, which is cheaper..."

"Donna said you don't want to do a movie I'm directing, why?" Ronald was tickled by Diane, and began to slide his hand up and down her smooth back.

"The road to fame that Burt prepared for me is now only the 'Cotton Club'. The peak of an actress is only a few years. If I don't climb to the top, it will be very difficult. I want to meet my mother and learn about her life." Diane stroked Ronald's waist.

"Don't you blame her for 'kidnapping' you back then?" Ronald was a little annoyed at being teased, sat up and hugged Diane, and the two looked at each other.

"Forget it, she also wants to control my acting career. Now I can hardly find any acting. After all, she is my mother. I want to get along with her and see if we get along. I used to think that Donna has your aunt Such a mother, I'm so envious."

"Really?" Ronald's hot breath sprayed on Diane's nose, and she couldn't help hugging Ronald's head, "Come again."

After a long time, Diane lay on the bed contentedly and fell into a deep sleep.

Ronald sneaked into the study, turned on the computer, connected to the telephone line, and after a while of beeping, the modem connected to the Internet.

After a while of downloading, Ronald opened the BBS reader. In the movie section, he finally found a post evaluating "Breakdancing".

"Last Saturday night, I had the unfortunate experience of seeing 'Breakdance', one of the worst movies ever made.

It's a so-called dance movie.While there are some good dancing, it doesn't make up for the dull acting, cheap sets, terrible script, rotten direction, and poor camera work.

Even the dance shots are poorly shot, often missing the entire dance sequence.

The audience I watched this movie with (in Chicago) laughed incessantly in disgust.Shocking that they didn't tear down the theater out of anger, or at least ask for a refund (I guess this review is helping me vent some of my grievances.

Obviously, I advise everyone not to watch it.But for those of you who are still holding out for the movie, you'll be happy to know that, at the end of the film, a sequel was also announced.

Professor, University of Chicago. "

"What? It's obvious that you, a professor, can't empathize with such a good-looking movie like ordinary people. Didn't the audience laugh happily?" Ronald angrily closed the post.

It seems that those who use BBS now are some high-level intellectuals, and those real audiences have no chance to speak up.

"Once upon a time in America, the masterpiece is about to be released."

Ronald scrolled down and saw the professor's post again.He praised the premiere film "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​in Cannes as very beautiful and literary, and the fact that it failed to win the award was entirely because Europeans suppressed purely American stories.

On the weekend of June [-]st, he will go to the cinema on time to watch this masterpiece.

It seems that cultural people still like this kind of "deep meaning" movie, and don't like this kind of exploitation movie made by Ronald.

Although Diane didn't want to attend the premiere, Ronald was invited by "Streets of Rage" producer Joe Silver to attend the premiere at the Beverly Hills College Theater.

This is the headquarters of the Hollywood Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and is where the Oscar nominations are announced each year.Some celebrities live nearby, so a few famous celebrities were invited to join in the opening ceremony.

A few days later, Ronald flew to Los Angeles with his good friend Douglas Jr. to attend together.

"Why doesn't it seem like there are any celebrities?" Douglas Jr. was a little disappointed, "You haven't made up for my wounded heart yet. You have to introduce me to some female celebrities today anyway."

Ronald couldn't help laughing, and Natasha Kinski was introduced to Douglas Jr. by Ronald.Excited, Douglas Jr. invited Kinski to dinner, only to find out that she was pregnant.

Kinski also told him that the child belonged to ex-boyfriend Vincent Spano, but that she was planning to marry wealthy Egyptian businessman Ibrahim Moussa.Musa also accepts her and the child.But if there are other producers who are willing to ask her to continue to make movies, she also wants to continue to make movies.

Little Douglas, who was deeply shocked by the Hollywood style in his heart, focused on staring at the abdomen of female stars today, and would not strike up a conversation with anyone who was wearing loose clothes.

He still caught a slender female star. With the help of Joel Silver, Ronald met the "Moonlight, Panicked" actress, a new generation of scream queen, Jamie Jamie Lee Curtis.

Douglas Jr. strikes up a conversation, playing off the charm of a New York country plutocrat.

Ronald is attracted to an older beauty next to Curtis.She has silver hair and extraordinary temperament, and her face is [-]% similar to Curtis. Ronald asked tentatively, "Are you Ms. Janet Leigh?"

"Young man, have you seen my movie too?"

It turned out that it was really Curtis's mother, the heroine of Hitchcock's "Psychopath", the scream queen of the previous generation of Hollywood.

"I'm a film director and my name is Ronald. I appreciate your performance very much," Ronald was happy to chat with the legendary actress.

"Aha, this brings me back to when I was young, reporters rushed to ask me questions." Janet Leigh laughed at herself, "When I made Hitch's movies..."

"No, I appreciate you more in Orson Welles' 'Beautiful Woman', but unfortunately his original intention was tampered with by the producer, and I deeply regret that I haven't seen the original appearance of that movie. "

"Oh, you're the first person in a long time to talk to me about that movie, and I happened to have a broken arm when I was filming that movie, so a lot of the shots had my arm tucked in the back and in a cast. Janet Leigh also prefers Welles' films.

The two chatted very speculatively, just as Douglas Jr. and Curtis also chatted well.until the premiere.

"Well, it's no wonder this movie doesn't work." Ronald finished watching the finished film. Except for the two amazing concerts played by Diane at the beginning and the end, the whole movie is relatively lackluster.

All the plot is predictable, and there are no unexpected surprises.There is also the last actor, Cody, and Willem Dafoe, who played the villainous boss. The two hit each other with two sledgehammers to finish the final battle.

Maybe to get a PG rating?Ronald guessed.There is indeed a big problem with the quality of this movie. There are too many compromises for various requirements.

how to say?The whole movie seems to have made too many compromises when editing.Maybe it is to meet the requirements of the high-level executives, maybe the director doesn't know how to cut it into a story.The whole movie is a bit behind the times, maybe in other markets around the world, it can still sell some copies.

The first weekend of June passed.

When the box office of "Breakdancing" was reduced to 330 theaters issued by MGM, it continued to make great strides and won a box office of 600 million.It came in third after two blockbuster sequels, "Star Trek: Finding Spock" and "Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Palace", each with [-] million.

"Streets of Rage" was shown in over a thousand theaters, but only got a box office of over 240 million. It is hopeless that the box office will equal the production cost.

The masterpiece "Once Upon a Time in America", which lasted two years and cost 3000 million yuan, was ordered by the distributor Warner Bros. to cut it to 10 minutes.It failed miserably at the box office and only got 240 million.

"Breakdancing", which was released for five weeks and earned 400 million, really attracted the attention of many big shots. Ronald's manager, Nisita, also started to raise the level of big shots on the other end of the call.
