Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 612 Two Missiles
"Attention all departments, this is a million-dollar shot, the two most expensive shots in this film. Please check the equipment again, all teams."

From the back seat of the F-5S driven by Bozo Bozo, Ronald gave the order for the final inspection of the two fighter jets equipped with cameras.

One left, one right, one front and one rear, two planes surrounded the F-14A that launched the Sidewinder air-to-air missile, and not far ahead was a naval target plane.

After layers of approval by the navy, today's shooting was finally released.

With two missiles, two target drones, and the fuel consumption and depreciation of several aircraft, as well as the support of several top navy pilots, Ronald will "waste" more than 100 million dollars in the sky today.

"Charlie Five confirmed."

"Charlie VI confirms."

Confirmation from the pilot and cameraman was heard from the two filmed planes.

"Action!"

After giving the order, Ronald stared at the missile under the wing of the Tomcat fighter.Suddenly, there was a burst of white smoke.

A Sidewinder missile detached from the launch pad and flew forward.

In the cockpit of the plane, Ronald could not hear any sound, only saw the tail of the missile surrounded by white smoke, drawing a trail in the sky.

"boom……"

Ten seconds later, a ball of flame burst out from the target drone, and it was blown to pieces.

"Charlie five, report from Charlie six." Ronald started calling again.

"Normal, Charlie Five."

"Normal, Charlie Six."

At last the Navy's generosity was not in vain.After half an hour, the fighter took off again, and this time it was the F28S' turn to play the role of MiG-5, launching the mounted air-to-air missiles.

The Navy only filmed the video and authorized two missile launches.So the "good guy" Tomcat and the "bad guy" MiG, each with one shot.

Half a day later, the urgently developed film arrived, and Ronald watched the footage on the screen for more than a minute. He spent a lot of money for these two real shots.

In the last fighting scene in the movie, several missiles were launched, some of which hit the enemy plane, and some of them missed the target.With such a small picture, it seems that we must carefully plan how to connect it with the special effects of the model produced by Industrial Light and Magic in order to produce a good editing effect.

"You have to find another way to shoot the horizontal spiral. The Navy thinks this maneuver is too dangerous. The price of an F-14A is too expensive, and the training cost of the pilot is even more expensive."

Pettigrew told Ronald that the basic shots here have been almost shot, and after the navy gave the missile launch permission, they killed the actual shots of the horizontal spiral.

"I understand, it's really too dangerous. Even if the navy agrees, I don't want you to take risks." Ronald shook hands with the pilots who took part in the live shooting in the air. After a long time of cooperation, everyone has become friends. He doesn't want anyone An accident occurred while shooting a spiral shot of a few seconds.

"Ronnie, who are you taking to the Oscars this year?"

Ronald, who returned home, received a call from Demi Moore.

"Didn't you and Emilio..." Ronald thought that Demi wanted to grab his spot again. Isn't there Emilio Estevez who has been taken advantage of now?Ronald saw a photo of them at the "Breakfast Club" premiere together in an entertainment newspaper.

"Don't mention it, I regret it. Emilio's words are nice, but in fact, he can't even get two tickets to the Oscars. Finally, he has to ask his father, Martin Sim." Demi's magnetic voice made Luo Nader thought of her charming smile and figure.

"Sorry, Demi, I already promised someone else."

"Well, I just came to ask. Who is that lucky woman? Brooke Shields? Or Helen Slater."

"Neither, I found Diane from the Cotton Club. You know, I have a lot of director skills, which I learned from Coppola. This time his film was only nominated for two small awards, and there were not enough tickets. , I helped lead an actor."

"Okay, it's really a pity that you didn't come to the premiere of The Breakfast Club. Director John Hughes also thanked the reporter for your help."

"I saw the interview", Ronald remembered the entertainment channel he saw two weeks ago.John Hughes specifically mentioned Ronald and helped him find the old lady Diddy Allen, a legendary Hollywood editor.

Diddy's early intervention edited "The Breakfast Club" so beautifully that it flows like a poem.

"Don't worry, this movie has been a big hit at the box office and critics, and you will soon become a new female star, when the time comes, you will have film appointments and beautiful clothes." Ronald comforted her.

"Hahaha... I think so too. You must come to the premiere of St. Elmo's Fire next time."

Demi would call Ronald regularly to chat. On the one hand, she would talk about the current situation of Emilio and his group of friends, and whether she had a fever against Ronald.On the other hand, it is also a half-show off of his gradually rising stardom.

Recently, she has been praised by several film critics, especially Albert of the Chicago Sun-Times, for her natural and smooth acting skills, and she has begun to show off more than tell.

Ronald has been busy lately, so he didn't go to the premiere of "The Breakfast Club."

The movie was an unexpected hit, grossing close to 2000 million in less than four weeks.

Director John Hughes has the potential to surpass Ronald in the media and become the most capable director of teenage movies in Hollywood.

With a total production cost of less than 100 million yuan and an estimated box office of more than 4000 million yuan, Universal began to really pay attention to John Hughes.

However, things in Hollywood are always very mysterious. When Ned Tanin was at Universal, the two films that he advocated for, "The Breakfast Club" and "St. Elmo's Fire", have now become the new CEO, Rona De's old acquaintance, Frank Price.

If he didn't jump ship to Paramount, Tanin might also get a lot of independent production rights.The Breakfast Club has been applauded again and again.If St. Elmo's Fire, written by Ronald's friend Cameron Crowe, is also popular, it's really hard to say whether Tanin has more power or less power if he changes jobs this time.

"That's it. I'm going to hang up. I'll see you at the Oscar ceremony then."

Ronald hung up the phone.Demi Moore is very good at drilling, and she is very familiar with the gossip in the industry.On the phone today, the names of Bo Ji and Helen were actually called. It seems that some of my actions still fell into the eyes of caring people.

Participated in the Golden Globe Awards with Brooke, helped Helen audition several times, and after she won "Legend of Billy King", she even scared away the leading actor who wanted to date her.

Especially Bo Ji, her influence is still very strong, if I hadn't been careful with her, maybe there would be photos of me and her appearing in the entertainment media.

Thinking of Brooke, Ronald sighed.This girl, who was so focused on getting a Princeton diploma, is now getting farther and farther away from her center of gravity.

Except for her holidays and participation in some public events in New York, Brooke stayed on campus, studying boring French courses.This will not help her acting career at all.

But this is Brooke's greatest wish, and it's hard for Ronald to say anything, and now the phone calls with her are gradually decreasing.This time I wanted to invite Brooke to participate in the Oscars, but she refused because she was busy with her studies and she was going to study abroad in the country of hair.Her interest in Hollywood dwindled.

"How about I go to the Oscars dressed like this?" After a few hours, Ronald arrived at Diane's hotel.When she was trying to shoot the Cotton Club, the crew gave her some costumes, paired with two mink shawls, also from the costumes, ask Ronald.

"Want to hear the truth?"

Ronald looked at Diane, "You are a young girl of the new age, you are not suitable for such an ancient dress, you should put away these old antiques from the 30s and [-]s."

"I know you don't like it, but I can't afford better clothes with the advertising money I got from Dongying. You know, if an actress wears the same dress twice, she will be gossiped by the newspapers. Fortunately, I still A 'Cotton Club' costume might be used as a pretext." Diane carefully put away the mink shawl.

Ronald smiled. The little girl who could rush to the Oscars in a dress and white sandals was now picky about dresses.The girl who was fearless back then is now becoming more cautious.

"Don't worry, I made an agreement with Mr. Armani, you go to his handmade custom clothing store, there are clothes prepared for you, and he keeps your size."

Speaking of which, Ronald looked at the girl. She had gained weight for the "Cotton Club", and now she has basically returned to the "Street of Rage" period.

"Thank you, Ronnie." Diane came up and hugged Ronald's neck. She saw hope again from the three-game losing streak movie dilemma, relying on this old man.

Could it be that Lucas's movie is his lucky chance?

……

"What? Ronald went to the White House as a projectionist to send copies?" Mancuso, the CEO of Paramount, got the news after going around.

It turned out that Ronald was mentioned by the Grand Commander at the Conservative Conference because he sent a copy of the movie of the Sowell Alliance, not because he had any deep personal relationship with the Grand Commander.

That's it, why is he so unlucky?During the live broadcast, I was frightened for no reason. In fact, there are usually quite a few Hollywood people whose names are mentioned by the commander-in-chief. He even commended his old friend Cary Grant.

"Mr. Mancuso, here is the ticket for Oscar." The secretary came in to deliver the invitation letter.

"Put it on the table."

Mancuso sighed, now is not the time to be entangled in these things, it would have been nice if he hadn't been frightened by him at that time.The future is long, and I have to clear the influence of my predecessor, gather the power in the hands of Tanin and other vice presidents, and wait for a suitable opportunity.
