Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 656 Cruise Feasts Ronald
"Thank you, Ronald."

In a luxurious Chinese restaurant, Tom Cruise, Paula Wagner, Rick Nisita, and Ronald sat together.

The dishes in high-end restaurants are not large, but they are very rich.Baked escargot, foie gras, steak, prawns, and other delicacies, paired with Alsace-produced rosé wine, several people had a great time eating.

Tom Cruise raised his glass to Ronald.Nisita and his wife Paula also raised their wine glasses.

"Thank you very much. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today." Tom Cruise was full of energy, from his debut, to sending him to the dentist, and the well-received "Top Gun", fancy Thanks Ronald for your help.

Thanks are most sincere from Paula Wagner.She stopped being Ronald's agent, and instead straightened out the relationship in terms of interests.Paula, who is dedicated to Tom Cruise, is grateful to Ronald, who made Cruise the most important step to stardom.

The news in the industry is very well-informed, and the finished film of "Top Gun" is exceptionally good. Everyone knows that Tom Cruise will skyrocket when the movie is released next year.

The other Ronald helped a little less, but it was still important.

After the report of the Hollywood "boy gang" came out, although Paula helped Tom Cruise get rid of the relationship at the first time, but put together the names of those bad boys who only cared about picking up girls, taking advantage of them, and singing every night. There is always damage to Cruise's reputation.

This time, because of the first lady's commendation to him, this trouble was completely solved by accident.The "Outstanding Person with Dyslexia Award" presented by Nancy gave Tom Cruise a hard-working personality for no reason, completely distanced himself from the bad boy gang headed by Emilio.

"Mr. Cruise, your call. It's Minnie."

High-end restaurants often have celebrities come to eat, and what they need is the tranquility of ordinary people.Therefore, the waiters here have all been trained, and they will never come up to ask for autographs.

Tom smiled shyly, stood up and went to the corridor to answer the phone.

"Oh my god."

Paula Wagner slammed her head on the table.

"What's wrong?" Ronald looked strange, "Whose phone is it? Whose code name is Minnie Mouse?"

Paula looked up and drank the rosé from her glass.

"It's Cher."

"Ah? They?" Ronald suddenly figured it out. These two seemed to have a bit of an eye for each other at Madonna's wedding.

"I'm very distressed, and I can't let it go, and I can't take it too far." Paula Wagner said with a distressed look, "His ex-girlfriend, Rebecca De Mornay, is a good match. It's a pity that they don't have much feeling. "

As Tom Cruise's head manager, Paula began to manage influence.

She must not let this relationship come to light.Paula strictly ordered the two to date only in private and must not be photographed by reporters.So when making calls, they always use cartoon characters as code names.

Paula also has an extra task for no reason, which is to help Tom Cruise and Cher match up and find a chance to fly together for a date.

"Will this relationship cause such a big problem if it is made public?" Ronald didn't quite understand.

"This is a joint decision between us and Xue'er's manager after we had a meeting and quarreled."

"Xue'er looks well maintained, very fashionable and has a temperament, fans can't accept it?"

"No, the difference between the two of them is too old. Cher is 16 years older than Tom. She is 39 this year, and she debuted as a singer. Her age has long been no secret."

Tom Cruise began to amass a huge female following, which was both his asset and his curse.

Ronald had a little understanding of the power of some stars.When a film project is established, no one, whether it is a major studio or an independent producer, can guarantee that any film will be a blockbuster.

But for a script written by an unknown newcomer screenwriter, if there is a star who is willing to act, then the star will naturally attract many audiences to watch the genre film he plays.In this way, there is naturally a foundation for the market, and producers often change from being uninterested to promoting the project.

But these blessings are by no means free.A star must conform to the imagination in the minds of the audience.Like the late action star, Steve McQueen.As long as he is willing to drive a car for a while, and then hit a few villains, and get together with the heroine, the audience will like to watch it.

Those other types of roles he played himself were not sold at the box office.

So, Steve McQueen had to stick to his bad-boy macho setup.In life, he also races cars, picks up girls, and smokes. Other people may be bad habits, but they have become advantages for him.It's a pity that he smoked too much and died of lung cancer at a very young age.

Tom Cruise is head-on, up and alive.Fans expect him to fall in love with and marry a gentle woman of his own age.Cher is 16 years older than Tenkruse, and once it is made public, it is easy to lose the support of fans.And without the support of fans, Tom is no longer a rising star in Hollywood.

But on the other hand, as an agent, you can't interfere too much with the star's private life.

After all, you are just his manager. Even if you are a family member, it is difficult for you to interfere in your personal emotional life in America, which advocates freedom.

Moreover, managers are also vulnerable when facing famous stars. It is common sense to be fired if one is not good.

So Paula Wagner oscillates between the two directions, struggling to keep her balance.The economic teams of the two stars were both miserable by the sudden love.

"Ronald," Tom Cruise returned with a smile and sat down.

"How long will you be in Los Angeles?"

"I will go to Chicago soon. Director Scorsese has confirmed the shooting date, and Mr. Paul Newman also called me, and I will meet them. This is the first time I have been with the actor acting."

The four chatted for a while, and Paula settled the bill.She sent Cruise to the Hilton Hotel first, and Cher wanted to see him today.

Ronald and Nisita, who stayed behind, continued to drink rosé wine and enjoy dessert.

"Thank you very much, Paula. Nancy's commendation has solved Tom's biggest hidden danger, which is getting involved with the bad boy gang."

"Being a kid gang is not without its benefits." Ronald sipped the pudding, "At least teenagers adore them."

The name of the current Boy Gang has gradually expanded its scope. It is not limited to the few male actors in that report, but also includes the few female actors who played together.

The kid gang recognized by the media is now the actors who acted in the two movies "The Breakfast Club" and "St. Elmo's Fire".Demi Moore and Ali Sheedy are also now official members of the Kid Gang.

"I can't figure it out a little bit," Ronald held it up and was gently shaken, "Why does the first lady, Nancy, always come to me? Actually, I don't have a particularly deep relationship with her. How about doing his son a favor like me and Barbara, the deputy commander's wife."

"I've already inquired about this matter in many ways." Nisita obviously attached great importance to the relationship between Ronald and the White House.

He leaned closer and lowered his voice, "There are rumors in Hollywood that Nancy is a serious astrology enthusiast. Since the commander was shot in [-], any schedule and personnel changes must be discussed with the newcomer's astrologer .Maybe you are compatible with his zodiac sign."

Ronald was dumbfounded, but it was very possible after careful consideration.

"Could it be that the zodiac signs of Barbara and Nancy are particularly incompatible?" Ronald recalled the conflict between the two ladies.

"Then who knows? Anyway, you should be careful when you date Nancy, and don't do things that are not in line with your status. Ronald, you have a bright future. Every time you shoot a movie that exceeds everyone's expectations, Hollywood will be your future." Get what you want, don't get caught up in the Washington complication."

"I understand."

Ronald thought to himself, Douglas Jr. had already reminded himself of this point, "But the first lady, Nancy, sees the trick, so I'll just obediently follow her orders. Just don't deliberately cling to it."

"You've always been sensible." Nisita clinked glasses with him. "I never had to worry about you like I worried about other CAA clients."

"What happened again?" Ronald seemed to be referring to what he said.

"It's not Stallone yet, Mr. Ovitz is worried about him every day."

"Puchi", Ronald was in a good mood, "Have another drink."

"Tell me, what happened to him? Our baby Rocky."

"Do you remember Schwarzenegger's girlfriend? The one who played 'Excalibur' with him is called Brigitte Nelson."

"Remember, what happened to her?" Ronald had seen her at Cameron's.

"She's Stallone's girlfriend now."

"Huh?" Ronald asked in amazement, and began to imagine the scene of two action male stars fighting for an actress.

"Schwarzenegger is pursuing the girls of the Kennedy family. But Bridget is hard to get rid of. I heard that Schwarzenegger secretly sent the nude photos of Brigitte Nielsen to Stallone through his agent. broker."

"Isn't it?" Ronald suddenly couldn't digest such explosive gossip.

"If we don't even know this, we don't need to be CAA's agents." Nisita replied with a smile.

"You also know our Sylvester (Sly). Although he is as strong as a bull, he is not good at picking up girls. With such a ready-made beauty, of course it will be glued very quickly. In Rocky 4, it is also given to the cloth A small role for Brigitte as the villain's wife. Stallone is now trying to find a script where he and Bridget can play the leading roles together."

"Hahahaha..." Ronald couldn't help laughing after hearing Nisita's low voice.

"This Italian stallion is really infatuated."
