Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 605 Sending away another general secretary
Locking the negatives shot on the aircraft carrier into a strong metal box, Ronald and Bruckheimer kept an eye on the undeveloped negatives, took a navy helicopter, and then changed to a commercial flight, and returned to Los Angeles together.

After sending the negatives to the lab, Ronald couldn't bear the accumulated exhaustion anymore, bid farewell to everyone, got in the car that picked him up, and went home to rest.

This kind of exhaustion is not only physical. Ronald needs to work more than twelve hours a day during filming to ensure that every job of the crew is in place.

The more important exhaustion is psychological. Everyone in the crew will ask Ronald to make a decision with questions.As small as props and hairstyles, as large as the shooting arrangement and cooperation with the military.You also have to deal with actors who play big names, actor agents who do small tricks in private, and fight wits with nature.

"Call me a pizza, thank you," Ronald told Little Bud to find something to eat.

After all, she is not a careful woman. At this moment, Ronald misses Aunt Karen in New York very much. If Aunt Karen is at home, she must have prepared hot meals for herself, as well as her favorite hot black tea.

After little Bud got the pizza, Ronald had already fallen asleep on the sofa, and the black tea was still on the coffee table next to him.

"Hey", little Bud fetched a blanket to cover Ronald, and then closed the door gently.Ronald worked very hard, and he couldn't bear to bother him with the troubles at home.

"Ronald, you're back, come together. Our new home is beautiful."

Ronald fell into a drowsy sleep, as if dreaming of a beautiful figure, wearing a white sleeveless top, with a big turban on his hair, knocking on the wall of an old house.

"Come on..." Ronald also put on a mask, and started working with a woman who looked like his girlfriend.

Seeing that she is not tall and has an elegant figure, when looking from behind, she couldn't recognize which girlfriend she was.

Ronald hugged her from behind, and a burst of tender music sounded, and it was an affectionate male voice singing.

This dream is so strange, why does it come with background music?Ronald felt that the dream seemed to be a mixture of his subconscious mind and the movies he had seen in his previous life.

"I brought you a clean shirt from the laundry room. We'll go to my aunt's for dinner later, and I'm going to the ballet rehearsal tomorrow."

"It's you, Antonia? Would you like to come back and marry me?" Hearing about the dry cleaning and the ballet, Ronald remembered the time when he was with Antonia Franceschi. Live the life after two people get married.

"Yes, you want to make a movie, and I want to dance ballet. I'm so sad that we can't be together because of our career." Antonia Franceschi turned into an elf in a ballet costume, as if performing on stage, away from him again.

"Antonia, Antonia...", Ronald yelled anxiously, not wanting her to leave.

"Ronnie, Ronnie," little Bud heard the cry, and came to see Ronald.

"It's okay, I had a dream."

After taking a nap, Ronald felt that his energy had recovered a bit. It was not the time to start a family, and he had to continue to work hard for his career.The pizza was already cold, so I went out with little Bud to find something to eat.

"Breaking news, Konstantin, the general secretary of the Soviet Union Union, passed away this morning at the Moscow Central Clinical Hospital. It is reported that Moscow announced three days of national mourning and published his obituary in Pravda, and Biography of successor Mikhail."

"How many times is this in three years?" Ronald was chomping on Italian meatballs in a cafe, and when he heard the ABC TV report, he asked Little Bard in astonishment.

"It's the third one." Little Bard took a sip of coffee, "When I was in the Marine Corps, many comrades-in-arms said that the fate of the commander-in-chief was blessed by God, so the alliance sent away two in a row during his tenure. ... and now the third Secretary-General."

"Our commander-in-chief definitely doesn't think so," Ronald felt amused. Now it seems that many people think that the commander-in-chief is the chosen one, who can escape the curse and survive the assassination, and can even kill several general secretary-generals.

……

Inside the White House, the commander-in-chief is discussing this emergency with the chief of staff of the White House, the assistant for national security affairs, the director of the CIA, and many other staff and government officials.

"Different from the previous two times when the General Secretary-General passed away, this time the obituary and the resume of the General Secretary-General's successor appeared on the front page of Pravda at the same time. So we don't have to observe at the funeral who is in line to carry the coffin In the first position, it was known that Mikhail would be his successor," CIA Director William Casey reported.

"He is the person we elected. Last time when the Deputy Commander attended the funeral of the former General Secretary Yuri, he sent a message to the Central Secretary Ryzhkov that America and its allies would not accept anyone other than Mikhail as his successor. The general secretary's strategy seems to have worked."

Clark, assistant to national security affairs, is a close friend of the commander-in-chief in the California ranch. The successor this time is tantamount to showing the success of the strategy he led.

"We finally have an alliance leader who can communicate." White House chief of staff James Baker let out a sigh of relief. The first three general secretaries were all hospitalized in the hospital for a long time, and many times they were unable to communicate normally with the other side. .

Several people held a meeting together for a long time, until the first lady Nancy came to ask the commander-in-chief to have a meal.

"Honey, it's time for you to eat."

"Gentlemen, come here first, I want to have dinner with Nancy first." The commander announced the suspension of the meeting.

"Clark, let's try the veal from the California ranch." Nancy and the bureaucrats in Washington were at odds with each other. Only National Security Adviser Clark was their neighbor and friend on the California ranch, and the three sometimes dined together.

Several staff members looked jealously at Clark, who had a good relationship with Nancy. He could always influence the Grand Commander through Nancy.

"My dear, finally you have a leader you can communicate with. Your ambition is finally possible to be realized."

The first lady watched lovingly as her husband ate veal from his home ranch.

"Of course, Nancy, it's our dream."

The commander-in-chief seemed to think of something, and said to his wife, "I will have a lot of communication work to do with that Mikhail next time. You can ask our old friends in Hollywood, how have they reacted in recent years?" Movies of ordinary people's lives? I needed to see what their ordinary people thought about life, about the government, and about us."

"Okay, it just so happened that Sinatra called last time and asked you to appeal more. There is too much pornography and violence in Hollywood right now."

"He's in Las Vegas now, is he still living like a king?" The commander thought of his old friend.

"He's not well now, but since you got his casino license back, it's the same as ever."

The commander ate and chatted, and promised to call on Hollywood to reduce violence and pornography at the next press conference.Many of his supporters are conservative whites in the south. Those who originally voted for the Donkey Party, with the help of evangelicals, turned to vote for the conservative leader.This kind of appeal is exactly in line with their demands.

"Frank, Ronald promised that the next time the opportunity is right, he will appeal to reporters to restore Hollywood's conservative and patriotic traditions."

Nancy called the famous singer and movie star, Frank Sinatra.The old friend generously donated $400 million in her husband's campaign, making her the number one donor among Hollywood old friends.After being elected for the second time this year, the general commander has included him in the next batch of "Presidential Medal of Freedom" recipients.

"Frank, I have already done what you asked me to do. When we come to Vegas, we will be happy and happy."

After Sinatra got the news, he called Paramount's old friend and fellow Italian CEO Frank Mancuso.

"That's really good. The commander agreed?"

"Don't worry, he will talk about the violence and pornography in Hollywood when the time is right, and call for a return to the traditions of the golden age."

"Thanks to you, I will let Paramount's movie stars come to your desert hotel to make an appearance."

Mancuso leaned back in his chair with satisfaction. He had read the samples of "Top Gun", and there were many places in it. He could use the speech of the commander-in-chief to push the boat along the way.Tanin, those who only understand film production, do not understand the operation of upper-level politics.

This is also an important reason why he can be highly favored by Gulf West Company, and he has friends in the political circle.

"Okay, Nancy, it's my honor to serve the Commander." Jack Valenti, the president of the American Film Association, also received a call from the first lady.

"The most popular film of the Sowell Alliance in recent years is a good film that reflects the lives of ordinary people. It is called 'Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears'. Yes, ordinary people, unmarried mothers, and middle-aged love are very similar to our America. Isn't it the film of ? A rare Moscow film."

"That's good, Ronald just wants to see this, can America find a copy?" the first lady asked on the phone.

"Of course, Nancy. It won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Yes, I believe it must have been introduced and released in America, otherwise it would not be selected for Best Foreign Language Film. I will find him Publisher, send copies to the White House."

"Please help me find the distributor of 'Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears'," Jack Valenti pressed the bell and ordered to his secretary.

"New world?" Valenti looked at the filing materials handed over by the secretary and smiled.He knew Roger Corman's fame and liked to bring in film showings from abroad.

"The commander-in-chief wants to see it, and ask someone from the New World to send a copy, and I will call the White House."

"Um...", the secretary hesitated, "I heard that Roger Coleman took away the copyrights of old films before New World."

"This Roger, business is shrewd." Jack Valenti picked up the receiver and dialed Coleman's phone.

"Roger, do you have a copy of 'Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears'? Very good, the Grand Commander wants to see it."

　Thank you reader xuweineo, the leader of the reward.Thanks.
