Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 646 The Horrible Mosquito
Ronald's equipment boxes, because of their height and weight, struggled for a long time on the luggage carousel at the airport, and the last few were sent out.

"Get up!" Ronald yelled, lifted up the box containing a full set of baby lightning lights, placed it firmly on the ground at the Los Angeles Airport, and then pushed it forward. Under the box, there was a set of lights specially installed for him by the prop workers of the movie studio. Small wheels, the box moved briskly.

Manager Richard and his driver, Bud Jr., saw Ronald and hurried up to help him get the suitcase, and the three walked towards the exit.

"What happened in Hollywood while I was gone?" Ronald put on his sunglasses and asked Richard.

"Director Zach, who has a wicked husband, is still polishing the script. Their habit is that they won't start filming until the script is finally mature enough to be screened in their minds first."

"Mr. Weintraub has already prepared the schedule. If you think it's time to start, start the casting and filming preparations for the sequel of Dragon's Way Kid."

"Michael Jackson and Director Coppola have called you, call them back when you are free."

Richard picked up important things and went over with Ronald.

"The heat of my scandals is almost over, right?" Ronald stopped suddenly and looked ahead. It seemed that there were densely packed exits, and it seemed that a large number of reporters were waiting for him.

"We continue to receive interview invitations from the media every day, but today they are not here to chase you." Richard made a reassuring gesture.

"Oh? Which celebrity is in Los Angeles today?"

"I'm coming"

A few white lights suddenly lit up at the exit, illuminating the background and ground of the exit very brightly.

A large number of TV reporters, with microphones in hand, rushed towards the exit next door.Followed by another group of newspaper reporters, they took out portable tape recorders, or took out notebooks and ballpoint pens, and they also rushed towards another exit.

The crowd, which was still densely packed, suddenly became empty, leaving only two drivers who came to pick up the guests, holding the names of the guests and staying where they were.

"Hi, I'm a reporter from the cable TV network. May I ask whether Mr. Rock Hudson's trip to China has improved his physical condition? Can he speak to the media today?"

Ronald and his party, who were pushing the equipment out, were also attracted.They turned their heads to look at the exit next door. The reporter from the cable TV network asked questions, and all the cameras and lights behind were turned on. It seemed that there was a big battle.

"Mr. Hudson is not available for interviews, please allow some privacy for a patient."

Ronald took two quick steps to prevent the reporter from recognizing him, and quickly got into Bud's car. Richard accompanied him in, and Bud put the equipment into the back seat.

"Boom boom boom...", a helicopter suddenly appeared in the sky above the exit of the airport, and a white light shot out from the spotlight on the nose, illuminating the ground brightly.

Following the light, Ronald opened the car window and stretched out his head. An emergency stretcher was pushed out from the emergency exit and onto a parked ambulance.

"Is that Rock Hudson? What happened to him?" Ronald asked Richard.

Rock Hudson was one of the leading actors in the TV series "Big Family" that set the ratings record a few years ago, and also starred in a movie with Elizabeth Taylor before, which was nominated for an Oscar.

"He went to the country of hair to see his strange disease, and I heard that he received an experimental treatment there, but today's situation..." Richard shook his head, and told Little Bard to drive.

"I brought a good thing from there. Please help me to find out if there are any engineers engaged in film lamps and lighting power supplies. I want to improve it and start a small business." Ronald, who returned home, told the manager Chad helped him recruit some people.

"Okay," Richard wrote down one by one, "You asked me to find someone to help you read the script last time, and I found one. His name is David Simkins. He has been giving TV stations since [-]. As a script reader, he wants to get married recently and wants to change to a higher-paying job.

By the way, he was recommended by Mr. Roger Coleman.I let him read a few scripts and write the outline, and the level is still good.You are free to meet and interview. "

"How did you get in touch with Coleman?"

"David originally applied for Coleman's screenwriting assistant, but Coleman's salary was too low. He was eager for talent, so he called me to see if you could find him a job."

"I'll call Coleman tomorrow. What are Coppola and MJ looking for?"

"It's a long story. Eisner plans to take advantage of MJ's popularity to add an amusement facility to Disneyland, let MJ star in a ten-minute short film, and find Coppola to be the director. I'm busy with his new film, and Disneyland also has some special requirements, I would like to invite you over to have a chat, can you co-director develop this project?"

"Short film? Ten minutes? How could Coppola be interested in this kind of project?"

"Of course, Disney generously provided a super high budget. The production cost of more than 2000 million can be added."

"What kind of short film is this?" Ronald was speechless. With this production cost, he could make a regular two-hour feature film.

"You can ask him when the time comes, I heard it is the latest technology."

"Our station reported that the famous Hollywood actor Rock Hudson's journey to seek medical treatment ended today. He underwent two weeks of experimental therapy at the Pasteur Institute in China. His spokesman told reporters today, Hudson misses his family, family and friends in Los Angeles and has decided to return to America..."

The report of the cable network interrupted the discussion between Ronald and Richard, and the two looked at each other.

"Two independent research groups, the Pasteur Institute in China and the University of Maryland in America, both claim to have been the first to isolate the virus that causes this strange disease, but it is up to which of them to make the breakthrough first, and which dispute.

According to the estimates of Dr. Foo, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and...

We don't know much about the research on this... Cable Network will follow up with you. "

"Twelve thousand people? Couldn't they all be from Hollywood?" Ronald looked at the scene of Hudson being carried into the ambulance on the screen, a little scared. Could this be some kind of spreading disease? "

"I heard that the recruited people are mainly men with special orientation. Many people are going to the University of Maryland for a blood test. I heard that they can also pass the blood. Many celebrities are killing mosquitoes at home."

"Buzzing..." A mosquito broke through the tight security of the apartment and the screened doors and windows, and broke into Ronald's living room.

"Shxt!" Ronald jumped up, picked up the magazine on the table, and started to beat mosquitoes.

"Crack", the mosquito was slapped to death on the cover of the magazine. Ronald grabbed the magazine with two fingers and quickly threw it into the trash can.

"Little Bud, little Bud, hurry up and buy something to repel mosquitoes..."

……

David Simkins came to Ronald's house anxiously. He just proposed to his girlfriend and just needed to change a job with a higher salary. While writing his own script, he could have enough money to support his family.

I worked hard in the TV station, and with the recommendation letter from my superior, I still found many employers who were willing to hire him. However, he learned that Ronald Lee was here to recruit script evaluation assistants, so he decided to come here first to try his luck. Well, with such a big director as the boss, if he likes the script he wrote and pays for it, then he won't have to worry about the house loan.

"Ding dong", he rang the doorbell.

"Hurry up, come in quickly, don't stand at the door, in case there are mosquitoes."

A tall young man with a bandanna over his mouth like a cowboy opened the door and pulled him in.

"Chi Chi..." A black man picked up mosquito repellant and sprayed it on the door a few times.

"You are David, right? I called Roger and talked about you. He said that you are very serious and responsible, and you can write scripts yourself. I don't ask you to read the script quickly, as long as you start from the perspective of the script itself. , you think you are interested, then write a summary, and then attach your revisions."

"Okay, Mr. Li." David watched the young man take off a large handkerchief that was buttoned on his face to cover his nose and mouth. It turned out to be his potential employer, Ronald Lee. "

"Here is a script. You can read it in the study over there, and then write out the outline and revisions on the spot. If I am satisfied, this job will be yours."

Ronald pointed to the study and asked David to complete the written test.

"No problem." David took the pen and paper and went to the study with the script in his arms. He also smelled that Ronald seemed to use a plant-scented fragrance here, which smelled faintly herbal.

He stared at the TV again.The Grand Commander is speaking to reporters.

"I have already entrusted Director Fu of the Allergy... Institute, my...consultant, to take full responsibility for this matter..."

The commander-in-chief has never commented on this matter, but last night the tragic situation of that Rock Hudson spread throughout the country through the cable TV network. The commander-in-chief was forced to admit that there was such a... …There are an estimated 1 people nationwide.

"Finally, I would like to say that the future of our people and our country is determined by whether we behave ethically. Although the latest research, there is no evidence that this ... and the unhealthy lifestyle we have had for the past 20 years Related, but there is no [-]% evidence that this... has nothing to do with the immoral behavior of some men.

I hope Rock Hudson is well, God bless him and God bless America. "

"It seems that people with special orientation don't necessarily get it?" Richard said to Ronald and Little Bard in the room after watching the news.

"I think that's what the Grand Commander meant. It must be like this. Didn't you see what broke out in San Francisco at the beginning? And he is the Grand Commander. If he hadn't had any news, he definitely wouldn't have said that."

"Well, what you said makes sense. Maybe we don't need to be overly nervous if we like girls." Ronald believed in Little Bard's statement more, and it was more in line with common sense.

"However, long sleeves should be worn well. The mosquito coils sent by Chinatown are very effective. You can call Lawrence and ask them to send a few hundred more packs. Send some to your good friends. Richard, you can ask CAA Whether Mr. Ovitz wants it, there are many in Chinatown.

Mosquito repellent products are in short supply now.Then send a large package to Helen, Diane, and my aunt, Donna, and send the amount for this summer first. "
