Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 630 The interview in Hollywood was completely changed
"Where's your Aunt Karen?"

"She went to Yosemite with her new boyfriend."

At the airport, Ronald received a young man, Douglas Hansen Jr., who made a special trip to join Ronald in investing in the "Family with an Evil Husband" project.

Back then, the two had made a verbal agreement that he had the right to share the same share of the film that Ronald participated in the investment.

The Jerry Zucker trio carefully calculated each scene and came up with a budget of $900 million.

Ronald went to his accountant, Lawrence, to look it over. Apart from some Hollywood's usual inflated costs, Zach's trio didn't cheat Ronald too much.

Ronald spent a whole year shooting commercials, MVs, and dividends, plus selling a little stock, and collected 75 US dollars, plus Douglas Jr.'s 75 US dollars, the two paid 150 million, plus Zha The US$150 million from the production company of the Gram Trio and the US$600 million from the Screen Fund allocated by Touchstone made up the budget.

Douglas Jr. also promised that if the crew exceeds the standard, he can make up for the investment.

"cheers!"

Jerry Zucker looked at Ronald, very satisfied.He didn't compete with himself for the priority investment right, but he also brought in this rich fool, who would rather guarantee all the risks and take the final dividend right.

"cheers!"

Douglas Jr. looked at Ronald Jr. and was very satisfied.He was actually willing to let himself participate in Touchstone, no, it was actually a Disney project.Also invited the well-known comedy director Zach to guide, who can grab this opportunity?Not only did he contribute to the filming of the film, but he could also be named as a co-producer, and he would become a real Hollywood insider in the future.

"Who will we invite to play the leading role in our movie?" Douglas Jr. was extremely happy, and immediately began to devote himself to the role of producer.

"If the budget is sufficient, we plan to try to invite Jack Nicholson for the male lead. The female lead also hopes to find someone who is both topical and popular, and it doesn't matter if you are outside the circle." Jerry Zucker's eyes flashed There was a hint of joy.

Unexpectedly, he was not only a rich fool, but also a movie buff.Anyway, he was able to tell the truth, so he drove to big-name actors.

"Jack Nicholson is good! How much does he want to pay?" Douglas Jr. was very happy. If there are well-known actors, there will be topics, and the media can publicize it for free.

"As long as it's only 400 million US dollars, he can be hired as the protagonist. We can modify the script for him." Jerry Zucker saw that the other party was really interested, and immediately started lobbying.

Ronald stepped on little Doug lightly.

"400 million is too expensive, and it doesn't match the temperament of the male protagonist in the original script. If the female protagonist can use the words of an outsider, why not try Madonna? She is very famous now, especially after the MV that Ronnie filmed for her. For a newcomer in the film industry, the salary should not be high."

"This is a good candidate. Let's look for her agent." Seeing that the other party calmed down quickly after hearing the salary, Jerry Zucker also stopped thinking about cheating.

"How is my performance?" Douglas Jr., a high school classmate and good friend from the wrestling club, still has a tacit understanding with Ronald. He felt that Zac was trying to fool him, so he immediately changed the subject.

A few people will go to the joint interview meeting for the establishment of the film project together.

"Very good. Your suggestion is actually good. Madonna has an annoying temperament. If she can bring out this temperament, I think she can act well." Ronald also thinks this choice is okay, although his acting skills are not good. , but she is very hot now.

"This is the main creator of this film, Ronald Lee, Jerry Zucker... This is Mr. Douglas Hansen Jr., the investor and co-producer of this film." The executive producer sent by Touchstone , and began to introduce the reporters participating in the interview.

"Excuse me, Mr. Hansen, according to my information, this is the first time you have participated in Hollywood investment. Why did you participate in this film?"

"Because of the great script, and I especially love the films directed by Zach. I'm sure they will be successful again."

"Jerry, may I ask if this film will still be a parody-based comedy?"

"This time it will be different. We will not follow the traditional slapstick method. Ronald and I discussed it for a long time, and we decided to make it a different comedy."

"Excuse me, Ronald. What do you think of the coverage of the Hollywood Boys?"

"This does not belong to the scope of this film. Please ask questions related to this film." The executive producer of Touchstone immediately interrupted.

"Excuse me, will Touchstone Pictures be a distribution and production entity independent of Disney?"

……

"Why do you still ask the Boys?" The executive producer of Touchstone was very dissatisfied with the reporter, and drew a thick line on his name.

"Now everyone is in a hurry, try to avoid getting in touch with the kid gang. The reporter must ask the questions that have been communicated in advance. He also saw the hot news there, and no one answered it." Ronald said a good word for the reporter.

"That can't be helped, Emilio's big shit, now Hollywood is messed up by him, and no one is willing to accept in-depth interviews. That shit reporter also completely destroyed the mutual trust between the media and Hollywood.

Not only will he no longer be able to be interviewed by anyone, but now all the entertainment reporters, including people from studios like me, feel that interviews in Hollywood in the future can only ask innocuous questions. "

……

"You idiot. Now everyone is eager to break up with you, but you still want to find Tom Cruise, Sean Penn and others to clean up your relationship?"

When Martin Sheen saw his eldest son, he actually found a public relations company, hoping to find a few good people named in the "boy gang" to rectify his name, and attack the reporter David Bloom who wrote the report.

"Don't you know that reporters like you to quarrel with them the most? Didn't your PR manager remind you?"

"Tom and Sean, they are on my side on the phone. That reporter David Bloom is talking nonsense and distorting our image, why can't I fight back?" Emilio was still stubborn.

As a veteran of Jianghu, Martin Sheen is of course well aware of the sinister consequences of doing so.The eldest son, Emilio, was so stupid that he made two blockbuster films and thought he was a star.

Those actors who are more popular than him are all his competitors. He hasn't seen clearly who is the real friend and who is the real enemy in this game.

"If you want to do it, use your own money. I won't write a check for your special public relations operation." Emilio earns a lot, but his expenses are also high, if Martin Sheen doesn't pay , he can't afford the PR fee.

"Emilio, if you want to show your strength, you have to rely on yourself." The younger brother Charlie Sheen made up the knife next to him.

"Humph!"

Emilio's heart was in turmoil. He had a bright future, but now many of the movie invitations he sent have been withdrawn.If you can't get new roles, your expenses will far exceed your income.

Restaurants and hotels that used to rely on celebrity names for free bills now have to pay cash.In order to maintain a decent life as a star, my savings are rapidly depleting, and there is still a fixed expenditure of two thousand dollars a month for that woman... If it is cut off, that woman will come out to make trouble again.

"You can do it yourself." Martin Xin left with regret. The eldest son was the best developed among several children, and he had to show his old face and ask Emilio for a role in the old friend.

"If you want me to tell you, you have to come out and admit your mistakes now..." Charlie Xin was at the side giving his brother a bad idea.

"Hmm..." Emilio was angry, why did he become the biggest target and was sprayed wildly.The other people in the boy gang may not be more discreet in their private lives than themselves, and it is normal to take advantage of celebrities, everyone in Hollywood does this.As for acting skills, you don’t need to delve into acting skills so much when making movies, and it’s not like live performances in theaters before.

It is impossible to admit mistakes. Once you admit mistakes, it is impossible to become the leader of the new generation of stars.

"Either?" Emilio heard that there was something in his brother Charlie's words.

"Or, you can find a bigger target for the media."

"A bigger target..."

"Demi, you did a good job of telling me about Emilio's movements this time. When he becomes confused again in the future, you must notify me as soon as possible." Martin Xin found Emilio's phone outside the door. girlfriend.If Demi hadn't tipped off the news secretly, and Emilio had secretly recruited a public relations operation, it would have been a big joke again.

"I love him, I just hope he doesn't do stupid things," Demi said with grace in front of her future father-in-law.

After sending Martin Sheen out, Demi sneaked back and eavesdropped on the two brothers' chat through the door.

"Who do I need to turn to divert the media's attention?" Emilio knew about this younger brother. Although he was not as good as himself in acting, he was a little tricky.

"Among people of your age, who do you think is the most popular now and who can help you share the firepower of the media?"

Charlie Sheen gave a little cue and headed out.

"Demi," Charlie Sheen nodded to Demi.

"Charlie", Demi just heard the movement, and jumped several meters away from the door, pretending to have just come back.

"Damn it," Emilio cursed, tore off a piece of note paper, picked up his wallet and was about to go out, "I'm going to discuss what to do with Rob Lowe."

"Come back soon."

Demi cursed in her heart, saying that she was discussing with Rob Lowe, and she didn't know that she was dating that female fan again.

Seeing Emilio walking away, she checked repeatedly on the desk, trying to find out who was the target that attracted firepower that she had discussed just now.

"Huh?" Demi noticed that on the top of the note, there was a little trace left by the piece of paper that was torn off just now.

She quickly picked up the notepad, and carefully changed the angle of the light, trying to find traces.

"R...O...N...LEE"

"It's Ronald?" Demi thought it was funny, this Emilio's mind is not very clear, Ronald is the director, what competition does he have?He was chosen to attract firepower, but out of jealousy.

"But his stupidity, isn't it just my chance?" She rolled her eyes, picked up her bag, hurried to the phone booth two streets away, and made a call.

"Hey... Ronnie. I'm Demi, Emilio seems to be trying to drag you into the water..."
