Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 563 Hollywood reshuffle
As the music gradually came to an end, Madonna stared at Ronald in the back row and made various provocative movements.She stretched out her finger and checked Ronald's direction a few times.

"Bitch, this bitch..." Cindy Lauper next to her thought it was Madonna who was provoking her openly, and cursed angrily.

"This Bitch is very scheming, she knows that the TV camera lens will not capture her provocative panorama, so she deliberately made this pose for the camera behind us... In fact, she came to me"

Cindy Lauper saw Madonna's scheming. Both of them were girl singers, and they happened to be in the same competition category. Although she won the award today, but Madonna was performing as a guest, it was uncertain who would be more popular.

"Hi, hi..." Ronald coughed.Madonna on the stage happened to be lying on the ground, winking at herself.

Maybe seeing Ronald reminded me of the spring breeze of the year, maybe it was the atmosphere of the performance that made Madonna excited, she suddenly lifted her skirt and turned over on the ground.

White garter belts and lace stockings were exposed to the scene and the eyes of all the teenagers watching the televised broadcast.

"Huh..."

Ronald thought back to the days when she sent her, who was not cast for the role of "Famous", back to the apartment, and the years of bang bang on the wooden walls.

"This bitch", Cindy Lauper began to scold again, such an outrageous shot, tomorrow's newspapers, TV, and all media will be full of Madonna's news. When she received the award just now, she intentionally patted the table. When it rang, she was about to snatch the limelight from the bad girl's proclamation.

Ronald raised his hands and applauded like everyone else, taking the opportunity to cover Cindy's attention, and crossed his legs.

"Ronald?" After the show, one of Madonna's assistants ran over and handed Ronald a note.He was stopped by the agent Richard and handed over to Ronald after checking.

"Miss Madonna asked Ronald to go to her dressing room for a chat." The assistant added.

Richard looked over, and Ronald nodded. It's been a long time since Madonna was able to be a guest at the MTV awards show, and he wanted to chat with her.

"Ronald", Madonna came out to greet him, warmly hugged Ronald who hadn't seen him for several years, and pinched Ronald's waist with her hands while hugging, "Hehehe, you are still so energetic. "

Entering the dressing room, to Ronald's surprise, there was already a lady waiting for Madonna.

"Maripole, my hair stylist, I'm going to get up for a party soon, and come here to do my hair again." Madonna pointed to the lady, "We met at Club 54 back then."

Ronald suddenly remembered that Madonna left herself at the door of the club in order to enter the 54 Club to climb up the big shots in the industry. It was only after that that he met Helen Slater.

"Hello," Ronald smiled at Maripole.

Maripole untangled and restyled Madonna's deliberately messy hair on stage.

"I want you to direct my MV. My new album 'Like A Virgin' will be released at the end of the year. There is a single 'Material Girl'. I need to shoot a MV. I need you."

"You should talk to my agent about this kind of thing." Ronald said to Madonna's assistant who came up behind him, and his agent Richard.

"You won't disagree, right? Cindy Lauper won the award this year because of your MV. Her acceptance speech is so long. If it weren't for you, she wouldn't have the chance to say it."

"I still say the same thing, talk to my agent. I will be busy with a new movie recently."

"Well, it seems that we haven't seen each other for a long time. You have forgotten yourself. Let me review for you."

Madonna has a bold and unrestrained style. When she came up, she hugged Ronald and wanted to kiss him passionately.A hand also went straight down and touched it.

"Okay, okay," Ronald hurriedly begged for mercy, "I'm serious, ask your agent to contact my agent, I'll see the time is convenient..."

"Ronald, won't you come to the party with us? There are a lot of girls waiting to meet you, a big director in Hollywood."

"Let the manager make an appointment," Ronald made a gesture and escaped from Madonna's clutches.

Little Bud was already waiting outside the door, driving Ronald home to rest.

"You are still so majestic. I still have the deepest impression on you when you went to my house all these years."

"You once smashed the walls of my house, why, don't you like my dress?"

"Bang bang bang bang..." The walls of Ronald's house also began to vibrate.

"Ring, ring, ring..." It turned out to be a dream, and Ronald was awakened by the ringing of the phone.

In his sleep, Ronald was stuck at home by Madonna for some reason, and she must relive the old dream with him.Fortunately, I received a call from Nisita. They just arrived in Los Angeles and called from the office.

"Hi...I'm Ronald, ah...hey", Ronald yawned big.

"Are you awake? Did you sleep late last night?" Nisita asked Ronald.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Ronald looked at the clock, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning New York time.

"I've already asked Richard to go to your place. You'll know later when you read the New York Times. Two of the seven major Hollywood companies have suffered major personnel shocks."

"Ding dong..."

Richard on one side happened to come in with the New York Times.

Ronald took a look, and it was still the headline on the front page of the business news edition.

"Frank Mancuso Named Paramount Chairman, Michael Eisner Resigns."

Ronald suddenly came to his senses and continued to read.

“Frank Mancuso has been named Chairman, and CEO of Paramount, succeeding Barry Diller, who resigned last week. He will report directly to Gulf West.

In a game of seats to music, Paramount stunned Hollywood.Originally the most popular successor, Michael Eisner, was out, and he submitted his resignation to the board of directors today. "

Over the past decade, Eisner has been responsible for producing and releasing more than half of Hollywood's highest-grossing films.After being unexpectedly knocked out of the race for the top job at Paramount, Gulf West had planned to offer Eisner a lucrative offer to start his own independent production company and continue working with Paramount.

But in Game of Thrones Hollywood, Eisner rejected the symbolic offer and resigned from the board.After being approved, he said that he will continue to explore the possibility of cooperation with other companies in the industry. "

"Where is he going?" Ronald asked Nisita who was waiting on the phone.

"Eighty percent is Disney."

"Oh?" Ronald continued to read the Times report.

"This is a series of major changes in the industry. Hollywood has ushered in the biggest reshuffle in a decade. Disney's president and CEO, son-in-law of founder Walt Disney, Ron Miller, was also asked by the board of directors yesterday Resign."

"It's not such a coincidence, is it?" Ronald said.

"That's right, Eisner must have held back." Richard said beside him.

New York-based entertainment industry analyst Lee Isger said Paramount's new management team faced a "no one wins" situation. Under his leadership, Paramount has a long history of success. As long as success continues, people believe in his legacy. When it fails, newcomers are blamed."

"You found Eisner?"

"He is not answering the phone now. It is estimated that he is negotiating with Roy Disney Jr. who successfully drove Ron Miller away in Disney."

"What happened to that Ron Miller? How did he get kicked out?"

"His live-action project was a pretty flop, and the few movies he directed aimed at the teenage market didn't do well at the box office or received critical acclaim. Plus Roy Jr. was Walt Disney's nephew, and he got Walt Disney His old subordinates, together with the director, forced him to resign.

Now Ron Miller and his wife Diane Disney have gone to Napa Valley to be neighbors with Coppola and run his winery. "

"Will Eisner get the CEO of Disney?"

"The hope is great. He and Katzenberg are working together. Disney's poor performance should be very necessary for their vision in choosing movies."

"I guess he will call me, and you have guaranteed that the phone line is unblocked." Ronald had a premonition that Eisner still needed the "Screen Fund" card very much.

"I think so, so that's it, you and Richard are at home waiting for the call."

On the phone, Nisita, together with Ronald and others, discussed the strategy to deal with Eisner, and then hung up the phone.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Eisner's phone call reached Ronald's home.

"Ronald, I think I can still get that guarantee." Eisner cut to the chase. His time is precious now.

"I'm not a board member of Screen Fund, why don't you directly ask the fund manager, Mr. Roland Bates, for his opinion?"

"Shxt! I need a commitment now. Roy Disney Jr. needs not only the vision of choosing movies, but also money."

"Then I can't help you, Mr. Eisner."

"No, you can, as long as you get your friends from Texas to declare their support for me to run that fund."

"I don't have that much energy."

"You don't need to persuade alone, as long as we can arrange a meeting."

"What good does it do me, Mr. Eisner."

"The conditions I promised you last time remain the same."

"Mr. Eisner, Paramount, the most successful company in the seven major cities, is not the same company as Disney, which is only a little higher than MGM, which has turned into a casino."

"I can slowly figure it out, but it takes time. Disney is a mess here, everyone has their own plans, and I need at least half a year to figure it out. Paramount, Frank Mancuso is a fool, Gulf West The current Martin Davis just fancy that he is obedient and will not threaten his status.

I can use some leverage to help you one last time until they get some real expert management. "

"I'll see what I can do." Ronald hung up the phone.
