Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 571 Chapter 2 You can come to me if you have any questions

James Baker combed his hair back and showed a typical politician's smile.

The first lady Nancy has a lot of influence on the general, and people on the campaign team are trying to make this crappy Hollywood actress go away.But she had her own logic, and she also studied ancient Indian witchcraft, and wanted to cast a spell on her opponent Mundell.

For the loss of the first televised debate, Nancy blamed the campaign team. This time, she targeted Daman, Baker's subordinate, and wanted to fire this employee who had worked hard for her for ten years.In order to settle the matter, Baker originally wanted to sacrifice Daman and maintain his influence in the team.

God bless, sent this lucky little Ronald.

The two walked all the way into the depths of the White House and reached the West Wing.This is where the commander's staff room is located.This year's campaign team is having a meeting with the commander-in-chief here to discuss countermeasures.

"The weekend is the day of the televised debate between the deputy leader and the deputy leader of the Donkey Party, Geraldine Ferraro. If he performs well, he can earn us a point." , campaign adviser Rawlins.

"Geraldine Ferraro is the first female vice-presidential candidate with a real chance of being elected in the history of America. We are not optimistic about the female vote." Lee Evert, a young Election Wizards, the time to join the Grand Commander's re-election campaign team is relatively short.

"Gentlemen, I can only face this issue head-on and defeat Mundell in the second debate. Otherwise, the voters in America will only have more and more doubts." The commander changed his amiable attitude, two The eyebrows are erected, and the words are harsh.

With a "wow", the door of the staff room was pushed open, and James Baker brought Ronald in.

"Your Excellency, this is the Hollywood director invited by Madam, Ronald Lee. He talked about his impressions of Mundell's offense. I think the campaign team needs to listen."

"It's you, what's your name?" The commander had an impression of the young man.

"Ronald, Ronald Lee, Your Excellency the Grand Commander."

"I'm very glad that you can come to the White House again, please tell me your opinion." The commander-in-chief forgot what occasion he met the young director with the same name as himself.

"I've heard Mondale attack you, but I think the American people would rather be led by someone with experience than have someone young and inexperienced as their commander in chief."

"Bingo," said young campaign manager Lee Everett, leaping from his chair, "you're a genius."

He immediately wrote a few lines on the classification card and handed it to the commander.

"I'm not going to make age an issue in this campaign..."

The commander-in-chief read it in his thick voice.Then his eyes shot out, and he immediately raised his hand to signal that everyone must not spread the content of today's meeting.This excellent counterattack will allow him to silence Mondale in the second round.

"Thank you for your feedback on my work, Ronald. I hope that what I said today, you will not spread it."

The Grand Commander sent Ronald to the door, and then said that he "hoped" that he would keep the secret.

"My family and I voted for you in the last round of elections, and I very much hope that Your Excellency the Commander will lead the American people forward in the next four years."

"James will take you out, you can contact him if you have anything to do." The commander formally shook hands with Ronald.

Ronald withdrew, and White House chief of staff James Baker repeatedly asked him not to speak to anyone.

The next day, Ronald and three actors followed First Lady Nancy to a public high school in Washington, D.C. for an interview (show).The TV station sent a camera crew to interview.

Minahan has been languid since he was shut down in the White House. He is an Israeli and has no strong upper-level connections, so he is bullied everywhere here.

The camera of the TV station was aimed at the students, the first lady Nancy and the three actors, and the students broke danced, which aroused the applause of the students and the audience for a while.

With Ronald's status, it is not appropriate to appear on the scene today, "Don't be discouraged, one day they will recognize your efforts."

"Hey, Ronald, you don't understand. We are Russian Jews who immigrated to Israel, not the same group of Eastern European Jews who thrived in America."

Ronald didn't know how to comfort him, so he patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey, I know, you don't discriminate against us." Minahan was rarely full of optimism, walked out of the crowd, and went back to the car to rest.

"Hey... alas..."

Ronald heard sighs and soft sobs in an empty classroom behind the dance studio.

"Who's there?" Ronald pushed the door open.

"No, no one..." An old woman with white hair was sitting on a chair and weeping silently.Seeing someone coming in, he immediately wiped away his tears and put on a strong face.

"Barbara?" Ronald was surprised. Isn't this the wife of the deputy commander?Who can show her face?
Ronald got two cups of hot black tea on the small table with desserts outside the door, and then brought some biscuits to Barbara.

"There's some dim sum here, let's try it."

"Oh, it's you, let me give you a hug." Barbara saw that it was Ronald, and quickly hugged Ronald.

"When little George returned to Texas, it was like a different person. He began to care about his wife Laura and the two children, and he stopped drinking heavily. He went to church every week and began to read the Bible."

"I'm glad he found interest." Ronald picked up the snack and ate it.

Barbara is old enough to be her own grandmother. She dresses very plainly. She neither dyes her hair nor wears a beautiful Hollywood-style dress. She only wears an ordinary outfit with a little wrinkle, which is the typical Hollywood style of First Lady Nancy. Very different.

Looking at her, Ronald could only think of his dear aunt, who was the most authoritative female elder in the family.

Barbara was very sad. She had agreed with Nancy to come to public high school together.But when it came to school, for some unknown reason, Nancy forbade her to participate in activities together.

I don't know what I did wrong to make Nancy unhappy, and Barbara felt very wronged.I have been careful not to conflict with the hostess of the White House.Why was she temporarily disqualified from appearing in this kind of thing that the two of them participated in together?
She dresses up like an old lady in a normal family, and she won't steal the limelight like a Hollywood movie star from Nancy.

"...Always feel that others will treat them maliciously. Their unwarranted doubts and speculations hide their unwarranted malice." Ronald remembered a sermon that Aunt Karen often said, which happened to be used to comfort Baba pull.

"... Public words and deeds can evaluate his right and wrong, but don't guess his motives maliciously for no reason..."

Barbara knew that this was to persuade him to relax, so she also replied.

"It's time for me to go back. I'm going to have a banquet for Jane Morgan's family in the evening. You must come then." Barbara took Ronald's hand and said kindly, "Do you know where the deputy commander's family lives? ?”

"Isn't it in the White House?" Ronald really didn't know.

"Haha, we are at No. [-] Observatory Ring Road, which is the vice commander's residence."

"Jane Morgan's husband's partner is not an ordinary person. Your eldest son in Texas has changed so much that I can't recognize him now."

"My dear, then I must see him."

The Vice-Commander was in his study at home preparing for a televised debate with Geraldine Ferraro in a few days.It is conceivable that this is the first female candidate for deputy leadership who is likely to win the general election in history, and will naturally have the support of many female voters, so I have to prepare well.

The evening's dinner was modest, but Jane Morgan, Weintraub, and Ronald all had a good time.Barbara is a very competent housewife who handles the family affairs in an orderly manner, and the grandchildren who come here to play are also very obedient.

"Let's raise a glass to Ronald. My elder son's change is due to the good influence your integrity exerted on him." Barbara raised her glass to urge him to drink.

"It's all God's revelation to him," Ronald dared not take the credit, and quickly told Barbara and his wife about the small miracle that he and Barbara's eldest son found glass windows donated by their ancestors in the church.

"Really? You are a descendant of the Jerome family. They and I immigrated to America." The deputy commander was very interested in this gossip.

"Yes, but my grandfather did not return to Jerome's family, but took my great-grandfather's surname Li." Ronald became curious about the deputy commander, "Don't talk about me, Mr. , How did you choose to go into politics?"

"Ah, that's a long story." The tall deputy commander took off his glasses and wiped them, and began to tell his history.

It turned out that the deputy commander was a naval torpedo bomber pilot during World War II.During a bombing mission, his plane was hit by Japanese artillery fire.Among the pilots who fell into the sea, only the deputy commander himself was rescued by the American submarine.The rest of the crew became Japanese prisoners and were all killed.

After retiring from the Navy, he married Barbara.Because I firmly believe that God saved me from bad luck.So I started thinking about doing something for the people of America.He started his career in politics as a congressman.

However, he didn't particularly resent Japanese-Americans, and he became friends with Senator Daniel Inouye, a Japanese-born Hawaiian.

"Mr. Inoue helped a lot with the filming of 'Longwei Kid'."

"I know, he's a good guy, and I enjoy working with politicians who have served."

"It turns out that you were once a Navy pilot, and I'm thinking about making a movie about Navy pilots."

"Really? If you have any questions, you can come to me directly." What did the deputy commander think of Ronald?

Barbara was born in a famous family. After marrying herself, she gave birth to many children and several grandchildren.Everything she has is something First Lady Nancy doesn't have.In order to live in harmony with the commander in chief, he didn't bother about the minor conflicts between the two wives.

But this time, Barbara was not allowed to be on TV temporarily, and she was left alone, which made the deputy commander feel that his dignity was being challenged.His wife, Barbara, was very sad.

Fortunately, there is this kid to comfort his wife, and besides, the eldest son gets along well with him. Being a director of the Screen Fund, he gets a free salary every year, which should be enough for him to squander.

"I'm going to prepare for the TV debate, and you are here to accompany Barbara." The vice president took the lead to leave.This televised debate is a very important debate. If the public can deepen their impression, it will be very beneficial to the election four years later.

After leaving the vice-commander's mansion, Ronald did not return to Los Angeles with the large army.He went home to New York and had something to ask his aunt for advice.

"I want to take this movie, but it's a movie that speaks well for the army. I'm afraid you will object."

"What's the plot of this movie? Is it about the war in Vietnam?"

"No, this is a movie about modern naval pilots. It's just some handsome men and women, and aircraft carriers, the kind that teenagers look at excitingly. There is no actual war background." Ronald explained the plot.The script is not finished, only some concepts.

"I'm not against it, Ronald. What I'm against is sending innocent young people to a country thousands of miles away to slaughter unarmed people there.

It is not against my values ​​that the military should protect their own people.On the contrary, I actually have a crush on the military, otherwise I wouldn't have married Steve. "The aunt laughed.

"That's right, you can rest assured if you promise." Ronald was already inclined to agree to direct the movie.
