Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 632 Let me say something, you repeat it

"What did I say to you? Don't mess with others, don't mess with others, do you think your father is an omnipotent person? After making such a big mess, you want to kill your father and ruin you as well." Brother's acting career?"

"I do not have……"

Martin Xin didn't expect that Emilio would dare to lie to him. He was so angry that his heart began to ache, and his hands began to tremble slightly.

"Martin, you sit down first," said the woman, Emilio's mother, Janet, a former actress.

She asked Laurentiis for a glass of water and made her husband take a pill.

Then she stood up and twisted Emilio's ear.

"Emilio, how angry are you with your father? How dare you provoke...? You want to expose him? You don't know, Coppola himself called today to warn, if it wasn't your father's Face, you are ruined now."

"Sorry, Mr. Laurentiis, this is how we Latins teach our children, don't take offense." Janet found that this was the office of the big producer Laurentiis, and Dino was watching the three of them with great interest. Man, hastily apologized for his untimely outburst.

"It's okay, Mrs. Xin. In the eyes of us Neapolitans, this is a good mother who loves her children and a good wife who loves her husband." Laurentiis stood up and hugged Janet, and then gave them the meeting room next to her. home use.

Martin Xin took the medicine and his heart felt much better.He sat in the conference room and taught this incompetent eldest son a word-by-word lesson.

"Who gave you the bad idea to let you reveal Ronald's private life? Do you know his status and connections in the industry?"

"I didn't..." Emilio wanted to be stubborn.

Janet next to her came over to pull her son's ears again.

"Don't talk about it, save me some face, Mom. I haven't put it into action yet, how do you know?"

"You idiot, don't you know that the PR firm you're looking for is the one that Tom Cruise and Ronald Lee often use?"

"They have no work ethic!" Emilio turned his anger on the PR firm.

"How could I have such a stupid son as you. How many times have I told you that Ronald is the director, and he is not in competition with you."

"I feel uncomfortable seeing his arrogant look."

"You have to be patient, my son. If the object of your revelation is Tom Cruise, or Sean Penn, I will give you a high opinion."

"I..." Emilio looked confused.

"You don't understand this yet, Emilio. Listen to me, you go and apologize to Ronald immediately, don't make excuses, put away your stubbornness, and sincerely apologize to him. Chances are no one will ask you to act."

"You are an actor, so you should have some acting skills." Martin Sheen valued this eldest son very much. He can be said to be an important part of his Estevez family and the continuation of a family of Hollywood actors like the Douglas family.

"Oh, of course." It turned out that it was acting. Emilio let go of half of the awkwardness in his heart, thinking that if he apologized, he would be able to continue to get script invitations. It didn't seem so difficult to accept.

"The ups and downs of acting career are common. I remember that when your mother and I first had your brother, we were still moving around in the slums of New York. We were often kicked out because of insufficient rent. Later, we found a room on Staten Island. cheap house.

All of this, after I played 'No.20 Catch-[-]', improved drastically, got a foothold in Hollywood, got us to move to Los Angeles, you and your siblings, got to go to San Mony Card high school.

Temporary honor and disgrace are nothing, you are already on the threshold of success, as long as you take one step forward, you can become a star.Now when people talk about my homelessness in New York, it can only be regarded as an anecdote of my efforts.As long as you become famous, who will know in the future that you once bowed your head to a young director? "

Emilio was moved by his father's description, he looked up at Martin Xin's earnest eyes, and nodded hard.

"You didn't tell anyone about the plan to break the news about Ronald and attract the media, did you?" Martin Xin was still a little worried about this stupid son.

"I only told my agent, they won't talk nonsense. And Carlos...I didn't even tell Demi." Emilio still confessed his brother, Carlos is Charlie Sheen's Real name.

"That's good. In the future, don't mention this matter to anyone again." Martin Xin felt a little better. The eldest son was not stupid to the point of despair.

"Oh, good..." The conversation just now came to Emilio's mind. I didn't say Ronald's name, so it shouldn't be counted... right?

"Well, have you figured out how to apologize to Ronald in person?"

"I..." Emilio was speechless for a moment.

Martin Sheen looked at him, knowing the self-esteem of young people, and couldn't stand this kind of bowing to his peers.

"Hey, I don't have much to teach you in acting. Listen, son, I say something, you repeat it."

"Ronald, I'm sorry... I formally apologize to you for my stupidity"

"Ronald, I'm sorry..."

"Idiot, you have to look into his eyes." Martin Xin looked at Emilio, who was bowing his head, and slapped him on the head lightly.

"One more time, Ronald, I'm sorry..."

"Ronald, I'm sorry..."

……

"Very well, Ronald, you and Pfeiffer go up and demonstrate to everyone again."

Meissner asked all the students to go up and practice. Some students who were models were not very understanding.Through the microphone, he simply called Ronald and Pfeiffer, who did the best and had the most tacit understanding.

"This time, Ronald, you speak first."

Ronald stood two steps away from Michelle Pfeiffer, which was just the right distance for a theater performance.If it's a film performance, you can shoot over-the-shoulder dialogue shots.

He looked at Pfeiffer, who smiled back at him.

"You have a beautiful smile."

Messner asked not to think too much about the lines and to focus on the opponent's reaction.So Ronald just said what was in his head.

"I have a beautiful smile."

Michelle Pfeiffer repeated it, almost laughing.

"You have a beautiful smile," Ronald repeated.He likes Messner's acting class very much. This kind of practice is like a game, focusing on the tone of the other party's speech, and then reproducing it as it is.

It's much more interesting than Lee Strasberg's emotional memory method, where all the students in a class cry.

"I have a beautiful smile, ha." Pfeiffer was also amused by Ronald's intentional imitation of the smile.

"You have a beautiful smile, haha."

"That's it, very good. You have to pick up the slight changes in the other party's lines and the subtle changes in emotions at any time. Then repeat it." Messner performed this pair of students below, and there is such a pair of students who have a tacit understanding , I saved a lot of things.

"I have a beautiful smile," Pfeiffer saw all the students looking at herself and Ronald, and her embarrassment happened again.Pairing up with her ex-boyfriend like this, saying these ambiguous lines, she is already a married woman.

"You have a beautiful smile," Ronald heard Pfeiffer's embarrassment.Actors have to be emotionally involved in acting, which is more embarrassing, and Pfeiffer's nature is also prone to embarrassment.He didn't put embarrassment into his repetition this time.

"I have a beautiful smile." Pfeiffer sensed Ronald's kindness, otherwise the two would continue talking, and the conversation would become more embarrassing.

"Stop..." Messner interrupted the repetition of the two, "Ronald, you have lost a little Pfeiffer's emotion here, do you feel it?"

"Ah, yes," Ronald was caught sympathetically, "Michelle's last repetition, there was a little bit of..."

"What's it like?" Messner was old, but when it came time to teach the staff, he was full of energy and passion.He looked at Ronald, putting on a look of anticipation in his clothes persuasively.

"A little embarrassing."

"That's right. Great, you're all doing great, keep going..."

With a wave of his hand, Messner took a throat lozenge and put it in his mouth.It is really a pleasure to teach such students.

"That's all for today, see you next time." Messner summed up everyone's performance, and then announced the dismissal of get out of class.

"Michelle, it's really nice to see you today." Ronald said goodbye to Pfeiffer.

"Me too, will you come here often in the future?"

"I'm a bit busy, so I might miss class. Is someone coming to pick you up?"

"Horton will come get me."

"Okay, that's it, goodbye."

"Oh... so you know Ronald, and I've never heard you mention it." A classmate named Jennifer next to him held Pfeiffer's arm and expressed admiration.

"I met him when I was in New York before, and he was just a screenwriter and crew assistant at that time."

"Oh..." Jennifer looked at Ronald, a little contemptuous of Pfeiffer, why didn't you catch such a director?In my words...

……

"Ronald, Martin Sheen is calling, and he will personally bring Emilio to apologize to you, and I hope you will hold your hand high."

It was Nisita, the agent, who came to pick up Ronald outside the door.

"How did you startle him?" Ronald asked.

"I asked Coppola to bring him a message that Francis might have taken things a bit more seriously."

"Ronald, I'm sorry... I formally apologize to you for my stupidity"

In the CAA office, Emilio was escorted by his parents and apologized to Ronald in person.

Except for Ronald and Nisita, the agent with the closest relationship and the communication channel between the two sides, no outsiders were present.

Ronald looked at Emilio, who was hunched over and shrinking into fear, and felt a little touched in his heart.Is my status already enough to make the other party so afraid?
No, Ronald has just received training from Messner, and his ability to pick up the opponent's emotions has improved a little bit. Emilio's frightened look just now seems to be inconsistent with his heart.

"Ronald, I also apologize to you. You know, when I had Emilio and his brother, I moved around in poor apartments in various districts of New York. Emilio often changed schools and never spent half a year in a school. I went to school and found a house on Staten Island to settle down."

Janet, Emilio's mother next to him, saw that the eldest son was so submissive, and Ronald still kept silent, feeling anxious and ignoring him for the sake of her son. She also apologized to Ronald.

"You don't need to do this, Mrs. Xin." Ronald couldn't see a mother who groveled for her children. When she mentioned Staten Island, he couldn't help but think of his Aunt Karen.

"I can forgive your recklessness, but I have conditions." Ronald said what he had discussed with his agent.

"First, stop the revelations you planned immediately." Nisita helped the client to clarify the conditions, "Second, all personal matters about Ronald, no matter how much you know, can no longer spread to any third party, friend Not even small talk."

"Third, if someone else breaks the news and attacks Ronald, we will all regard you as not keeping your promise."

"I can do it, Ronald. No, I mean Mr. Li, I promise to do these few things." Emilio promised immediately.

Ronald looked at Martin Sheen.

"I promise, I will watch him." Martin Xin also nodded his promise.

"Well, I won't pursue this matter. Say hello to Francis for me, what is he doing now?"

"He's preparing for his new film, and he's still looking for a leading actor."

Ronald and Martin Sheen chatted for a while, and this paragraph was revealed.He ignored Emilio.
