Chapter 636 The Silent Moment of Camp David
"I feel fine, my dear." The Grand Commander took a nap, taking advantage of the mixture of admiration and concern on Mrs. Nancy's face.

"Well," Nancy still frowned worriedly. She knew that her husband had a very busy week, had surgery, accompanied state visits, meetings to discuss the deficit and budget, the latest sanctions on South Africa, and the US Navy officer Jr. The Union Espionage Case by John Anthony Walker.

"When we get to Camp David, it's going to be all right." The Grand Commander misses the annual sabbatical at Camp David, Maryland's Catoctin Mountain Park, where all published maps of America are absent for privacy and safety Mark the location of Camp David.

It's really a good place for a vacation, even a boring person like the former Grand Commander fell in love with it after going there.

"Honey, I consulted Joan, and she said that there will be a young man who will approach you to help you change your fortune. He has a certain resemblance to you. His name is either Ronald, or Donald, and Rich industry experience."

Nancy told her husband about the astrologer's reading.

"Hmm..." The commander-in-chief was only dubious about these astrology, but when he heard the name Donald, his brows stretched.Isn't Donald Reagan, the Secretary of the Treasury, a young man with rich Wall Street experience?

My White House chief of staff, James Baker, didn't get along well with many people. He had served him loyally for several years, and it was time to let him out.

"The director who sent 'Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears' last time, Ronald Lee, sent another movie this time. I heard it was produced by his friend Spielberg. If you want to watch it, we Watch this movie to relax when you arrive at Camp David, and you can take him with you, I think you can talk to this young man with the same name as you, maybe it can help you."

"I know that movie, and the leading role is the young man who played Alex Keaton. I heard that many young donkeys are imitating Keaton and calling themselves Ronald Donkeys." The commander heard The meaning behind what his wife Nancy said, but obviously Nancy's interpretation was wrong, obviously the astrologer was referring to Donald Reagan.

Compared with myself, this young director can only be regarded as a grandson, what kind of young man is he?

"I'll notify the Secret Service and bring him up." Nancy stubbornly believed that the astrologer was talking about Ronald.

Soon the Secret Service found Ronald and took him to the White House.Ronald was still thinking about how he would turn around. Nancy came over to greet him personally, "Are you a Capricorn, Ronald?"

"Um, I am."

"Well, you go to Camp David with us, the scenery there is very good." Nancy smiled and asked the Secret Service to take him to the convoy.

After the farewell speech before the holiday at the White House, the commander-in-chief, his wife, and several special agents boarded the Marine One helicopter and flew directly to Camp David.Ronald took the car behind and went with many White House staff.

At [-]:[-] p.m., the commander and his wife showed up at the movie screening hall in Camp David on time.

"Young man, we meet again. I hope you bring a good movie."

Before Ronald could answer, the commander, his wife, and all the staff members filed in.The commander-in-chief is already in his 70s. Everyone is very pleased that he is still in such good spirits after undergoing surgery and after a long flight.

Back to the Future starring Michael J. Fox is very popular with the Grand Commander. His role in "Family Ties" is actually promoting the conservative values ​​​​of the Grand Commander. Many young people can't understand the hippie generation of their parents. Liberal style, all because of this character fell in love with the Grand Commander.

"Ahahahaha..."

The Grand Commander and his wife laughed, and the movie put the protagonist Marty McFly back in 30, when he drove a time machine modified by a DeLorean sports car and first appeared in his hometown [-] years ago. On the poster, a poster of a movie from that year is being drawn.

The poster shows the [-] film "Montana's Cow Queen" starring Barbara Stanwyck and the Grand Commander.

"Honey, you're so handsome."

"Yes, this is the first time I've acted opposite a big star like Barbara Stanwyck."

Two ex-Hollywood movie star couples begin to miss their old days.

Marty McFly found a young professor in five or five years and told him the principle of the time machine, hoping that he could create another time machine so that he could go back to the future.

"You said you came back from [-], then who did you say was the leader at that time?"

"Hehehe..." There was a burst of laughter from the screening room, of course it was the current Grand Commander, Old Ronald.

"It's the Hollywood movie star Ronald." Marty replied to the doctor?

"Ronald? That Ronald who starred in the movie with Barbara Stanwyck? Hahaha, your imagination is really rich. Who is the deputy commander, Jerry Lewis? What about the first lady? Then Isn't Jane Wyman the First Lady?"

"Who is Jane Wyman?" Ronald muttered, isn't the wife of the Grand Commander Nancy?
The movie lasted for more than a minute. During this minute, something terrible happened in the auditorium. Everyone turned their eyes to the side and stopped looking at the screen, as if they were afraid that some monster would appear on the screen. , or the embarrassing situation of not being able to watch.

"Huh, huh, huh..."

The film ran out on the screen, and the next reel was not picked up by the projectionist.

The audience fell into a deathly silence, and no one dared to make a sound.

The commander-in-chief's face was livid, and his eagle-like eyes suddenly shone sharply, looking at the chief of staff of the White House, James Baker.

Ronald was sitting on the farthest seat. He saw Baker, the chief of staff, and was stared at by the commander. His whole body seemed to be stared at by a beast. He seemed to be frozen there, not knowing what to do.

After a few seconds, his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

"Mr. Datong, this is a misunderstanding. The current audience is watching the TV series 'Eagle Crown Manor', so they added this dialogue..." The staff in charge of the movie came out and stammered to explain After a while, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped there.

"Why are you bringing this up?"

Including Ronald, all the staff present had never seen such a cold expression on the commander's face, and such a frozen question.

Ronald didn't understand what was going on, but he was also captured by this weird atmosphere, and he didn't dare to make even a little movement, for fear of the anger of the most powerful couple in America. He didn't know where the anger came from , passed on to his head.

"Keep going with the movie, I think Marty McFly's performance is pretty good."

At the critical moment, the first lady Nancy spoke up and saved everyone.

The movie continued to be shown, and everyone carefully hid what happened just now, and no longer discussed it.It's as if he never happened.

"Woo..." The doctor's new space-time vehicle, with Marty McFly and girlfriend Jennifer Parker, flew into the sky at the end of the film.

The staff began to applaud with feigned enthusiasm.

The discussion after the film was quite enjoyable.The Grand Masters seemed particularly impressed with Michael J. Fox's performance.

The Grand Commander commented on how clever the film was and that this is the type of film Hollywood should be making, rather than some of the more controversial, violent or adult-themed films that seemed to be common at the time.

Nancy began to chat about the heroic appearance of the Grand Commander on the poster in the movie. He and Barbara Stanwyck played very well.

"Boys, that's it for today."

The commander-in-chief felt a little tired. Only he and his wife were talking about the comments after watching the movie today. He stood up and walked out of the screening room with his wife hand in hand.

"I hope you will listen to the commander's advice in the future and make more films that convey traditional values." Nancy chatted with Ronald Jr. when she walked out.Although there was some unpleasantness today, after Ronald Jr. came, her husband obviously recovered well in terms of energy and spirit. It seems that the astrologer's prediction was very accurate.

Ronald returned to the hut where the Secret Service arranged for him and where the staff lived.

He made a long-distance call to Douglas Jr., "It almost scared me to death. I never thought that the kind-hearted and charismatic commander-in-chief would talk to people like this. I almost wanted to escape from the theater."

"You will gradually realize in the future that the style of politicians is still what I said, and it is better to keep a safe distance from them."

Ronald made a second phone call to his agent Nisita, "Who is Jane Wyman?"

"Ronald?" Nisita answered under the covers after being woken up, "She is the heroine of the TV series 'Eagle Crest Manor' that is currently airing, the hostess of the winery, where did you call me from? "

"I'm in Camp David, why did the Grand Commander hear his name..."

"What? Has no one told you? Jane Wyman is the ex-wife of the Grand Commander, and it's his taboo. You didn't say something there, did you?" Nisita woke up suddenly and sat down from the bed. stand up.

"I'm fine, just watching Spielberg's 'Back to the Future' together at Camp David, and there's a line in it about Jane Wyman."

"Come back quickly, and don't do this kind of thing in the future." Nisita was in a cold sweat, and hurriedly sent the most important client back to Los Angeles.

"Huh..." Ronald felt sticky all over his body, and his back felt cold.Although it is summer, the nights at Camp David are cool.

After learning the identity of Jane Wyman, Ronald was sweating again, and he went to the bathroom to rinse again.

Companion king is like companion tiger, collude with these big figures at the top, sometimes you can use their fame and position to take advantage of them, but if one is not careful, the big man is in a bad mood, or the battle with other people is not careful. To myself, it will be miserable too.

Under the shower, Ronald wiped the water from his face and let his body be poured with hot water again.

Putting on his pajamas, Ronald dried his hair. He made up his mind that he would mainly rely on his own abilities in the future and not get too close to these politicians.

Sitting on the staff bus, Ronald left Camp David and returned to Washington.

"You almost killed me." Ronald was rarely angry at the director Robert Zemeckis who came up to inquire about the news.

"When you asked me to send the copy, didn't you think about the line that old Ronald was the commander-in-chief and Jane Wyman was the first lady? Don't you know that Wyman's name is taboo in the White House? I Almost made the first idiot to mention that name!"

"It's nothing, right? Who in Hollywood hasn't been divorced once or twice?" Zemeckis looked blank. This level of ridicule is nothing, right?

"You know what a fart, this is Washington, put away your Hollywood routine, here you even have to wait for a seat to brush your teeth in the morning, aren't you embarrassing Nancy?"

"I..." Zemeckis stayed on the spot, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't expect this layer..."

"Let's run away while no one is making use of it. Being innocently involved in the White House battle, do you want this line of your movie to be publicized after being caught by the media?" Ronald shook Zemeckis's back.

"Okay, I'll call Steven right away and say hello to Universal, and all the media should not mention this episode."

It was screened in [-] theaters, and it was too late to change the copy. We could only remove any part reminiscent of Nancy in marketing, and then say hello to the well-connected cooperative media. A couple of awkward lines.

At night, Spielberg himself called to apologize.

"Sorry, I didn't think carefully. Compared with such a big thing, the box office of the movie is a trivial matter. Our ridicule is nothing more than it is. It is really a big failure to send it to the White House for screening."

"I said Steven, there are many old Hollywood people in Universal, didn't anyone remind you during the shooting and editing?" Ronald began to complain.

"America's First Amendment guarantees the freedom of film creation, and the marriage of Jane Wyman and the Grand Commander happened a long time ago, and we all forget it."

"Well, it's a good thing that I didn't say a word at Camp David this time. You didn't see the power of the commander's anger. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat."

"Sorry, Ronald, I will make it up to you, it was our mistake this time."

Ronald greeted Weintraub, and returned to Los Angeles by himself.If Barbara knows about this, it may cause conflicts between her and Nancy again, so it's better to let it rot in the stomach.

The next afternoon, Ronald, who had already arrived at Los Angeles Airport, saw the latest news being broadcast on the TV station.

"The reshuffle of the White House has begun. The White House press secretary said that the commander-in-chief has signed an order to swap positions between White House chief of staff James Baker and Treasury Secretary Donald Reagan.

Reagan, who has worked at Merrill Lynch for many years and has rich experience in the financial field, served as the chief of staff of the White House.The senior politician James Baker, who has been leading the leadership of the general election team, will serve as the new treasurer.

In an interview, Baker said that his top priority is to work with the finance ministers of the West and Japan to resolve the trade imbalance in America.
