Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 755 The Unlucky Actress
The news of watching the copy with Schwarzenegger was known by old friend Jim Cameron.

"Why don't you come to play with me?" Cameron knew that Ronald was on vacation, so he called him to drink beer at home.

"I just finished filming a dance film, and I feel exhausted. I just want to find a place where no one is watching the sunrise and starry night, and let nature heal my trauma."

"Does it work?"

"It was okay at first, but then it was destroyed by a person who sold Transcendental Meditation."

"Ah, I know them. They're very popular in Hollywood now, and they're kind of evil."

The two agreed not to say anything about the movie.Work is all about movies, and talking about movies when friends get together is a bit boring.

They chatted about motorcycles and sports cars, and the two had a good time drinking beer, which was interrupted by Cameron's wife Gail who came back from outside.

"Jim, why are you here again... oh, Ronald. Here you are."

Gail and Jim are working on a new movie.They have been together for a long time, and their hairstyles and expressions have become more and more similar.

The three drank beers and chatted about some industry gossip just like they did in Roger Corman's New World.

"Do you remember my friend Martha Coolidge?" Gail asked.

"Of course", Ronald was quite impressed with this feminist pioneer.Her new film "Some Kind of Wonderful" written by John Hughes, which she was supposed to direct, was rejected before filming began.

"She was so miserable. After she was fired, she met John Hughes when she was flying. She wanted to regain her directing rights, so she chatted with Hughes for a long time on the plane, sharing some of her new ideas with Hughes. S said.

It was an unlucky guy who wanted to go home for a reunion before Thanksgiving, but met an annoying neighbor on the plane. Unexpectedly, the plane was diverted due to the weather, so he could only catch the train with this annoying person. Reversed the car and finally returned to the story of the house.

As a result, two days ago, when Martha went to the Screenwriters Union and the Library of Congress to register the script, she found that Hughes had registered her idea in advance.The title of the script is 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles'. "

"It is indeed possible. John Hughes is a fast player. I heard that he can often write the first draft of the script in one night." Ronald felt that although this is a one-sided statement, the possibility of being true is not low.Hughes also wrote a sentence that he accidentally said back then and made it into a movie.

Who can blame this?John Hughes was, after all, the director with several blockbusters, and Martha Coolidge hadn't proven herself in the Big Seven studios.There were only two people on the plane, and unless Coolidge had audio recordings, he would not have been able to secure even a single signature.

If you have any good ideas, it's better to shut up and write them out first, and don't show off in front of your colleagues.

……

Once Ronald was back in Hollywood and met insiders.The news spread that he had ended his leave of absence.Nisita began to receive more and more calls, most of them were people in the industry who inquired about his location and wanted to chat with him.

There are a few of them that I can't shirk.

So Ronald came to Paramount the next day to meet the de facto producer and speaker, Ned Tanin.

"Ronald, I heard that your new film is another masterpiece. Congratulations in advance."

"What, do you want to publish it for me?" Ronald joked.

"Ha, don't make fun of me. Although this location looks beautiful, in fact, I am carefully pleasing an artistic genius like you. Then I pray that my movie will not be too bad at the box office.

You and I understand the problem with the movie Dirty Dancing, so stop making fun of me. "

"Okay, I gave you a chance, don't regret it if you don't."

Seeing Ronald looking at the new film "Dirty Dancing" so confidently, Ned Tanin felt hesitant for a while.Now there are only two people present, so there is no need to talk about the so-called Jewish reputation.This is the stubbornness of those old men.

After thinking about it for a while, Tanin still poured the good brandy XO for Ronald, and then decided to stick to the original plan, "It's not convenient for me to stand in front of the stage and actively support your new film, but when you release it, I can' Borrow 'some Paramount media assets for you."

"Then I would be very grateful." Ronald took a sip of his wine, "What are you inviting me to talk about this time?"

"Well, do you remember that new John Hughes movie with Paramount?"

"Some Kind of Wonderful?" Ronald was a little surprised, "This is the second time I've heard about this movie since I came back."

"Who did you hear it from?" Tanin replied, "It doesn't matter, everyone has already spread the word anyway. This movie is in trouble now, and I can't even find a heroine. I'm looking for you, yes I want you to step in and save this movie.

After all, the original starting point of the movie is an idea that you casually say after watching Hughes' movie. "

"You even know this?" Ronald was surprised that Tanin knew that he was the creator of the movie story.

"Not only that, I also know that Hughes didn't write the story according to your idea at the beginning, but reversed the gender of the male and female protagonists, and filmed two men chasing one woman in 'Pretty in Pink'. As a result, the audience responded very well after the test screening Oops, I was forced to make up the ending where the heroine and the rich man get together
He was convinced of your judgment and rewrote the story of two women chasing a man. "

"You've even figured this out," Ronald thought. It seemed that Tanin really wanted him to help solve the problem.

"Of course, I didn't know it was your idea at first, otherwise I would have paid a lot of money to let you be the producer, and there would be no such chaos."

Tanin sighed, drank some wine, and asked the crew of "Wonderful" again.

After Martha Coolidge got the position of director, she thought it was a good opportunity to make a feminist film.So she overstepped her authority seriously, and began to revise the script privately.

"Wonderful" was originally a very good first love story, the story of the ugly duckling becoming a white swan.It is about Keith, a white-collar worker who runs an auto repair shop, and likes Amanda Jones, a girl who lives across the road.

Amanda is the girlfriend of the rich boy Hardy.She was very beautiful, the prettiest girl in school, but she also came from a poor neighborhood.Looking for a boyfriend like Hardy is to change his destiny by getting to know a boyfriend in the upper class.

By chance, Hardy kissed other girls in private and was caught by Amanda on the spot.In retaliation, she agrees to Keith's invitation to go on a date with poor boy Hardy.

In order to make a good impression on Amanda, the lover of his dreams, Keith asked Watts, a girl next door, to help himself, to be a driver, to arrange various shows, and to draw an oil painting portrait of Amanda Jones .

In the end, Amanda's impression of Keith changed, but Amanda, who still had kind thoughts in her heart, finally returned the gemstone earrings that Keith bought with the accumulated college tuition fees.Decided to fight on my own, instead of earning money by being a full-time girlfriend to a man.

Keith also discovers that his real favorite is Watts, the tomboy.In the end the two came together.

This seemingly fairy-tale story, which appeals to teenagers, was changed into a dark story by Martha Coolidge.Keith became a subterranean voyeur, and Amanda and Watts became very vulgar brainless belles and male-hating feminists.

This change was discovered by the producer, who immediately fired Martha Coolidge, retrieved the first director, Howard Deutsch, who had been fired by himself, and changed the script back to the original version.

I have to say that although Martha Coolidge has bad taste, she is very good at pleasing actors.As soon as she was fired, Hughes gave the entire cast the option of resigning together, and the heroine immediately walked away with Martha.

The actor also wanted to leave at first, but he stayed after being persuaded by the actor who played Watts.

It can be said that the entire crew is not of the same mind as director Deutsch and screenwriter and producer Hughes.However, the time limit for the film to start soon left them with no time to recast the cast.

"So what do you want me to do? I can't solve this kind of thing?" Ronald felt rather complicated after hearing the cause and effect.Moreover, between himself and John Hughes, there is still a competitive relationship between him and John Hughes.Although it looks passable on the surface, I don't want to get involved in this mess.

"You go to the crew to show your face and use your reputation to calm down those actors. As long as you nod, they can approve the current script. You know, these actors listen to what Martha says every day. Realism, feminist ideas, are all rejected Poisoned."

"I have to reject you, Ned." The more Ronald heard it, the more he didn't agree. The actor hated the director and the script he took over from the bottom of his heart, and it would be thankless to go by himself.

The director can scold other people in the crew for not working hard and delaying time.Only actors are the targets that the director needs to focus on protecting, and they cannot solve the problem by swearing.If the director and actors have major conflicts and cannot communicate, it is absolutely impossible to cooperate well and make a good movie.

"If you want me to say, it's better for you to recast the cast." The new director, wouldn't it be good to let him recast his own team?
"It's too late. This movie was originally scheduled to be released in February next year. If the casting is re-cast, it will only be postponed, or the shooting will be cancelled. I thought about it, as long as you can do this role. As long as you appear on the shooting scene, they will obey you." Yours. One sentence from you is more useful than ten sentences from director Deutsch."

"I still don't think it can play such a role." Ronald thought for a while, but still refused.There are too many people involved in this kind of thing, why should I go to this troubled water?

"You should go, Ronald. You have a moral responsibility to the leading actor. If you don't go to the crew to suppress their conflicts, you will completely destroy his acting career."

Seeing that things were not going well, Ned Tanin played the moral card again, hoping to impress Ronald.

"What does this have to do with me?" Ronald was surprised.

"The lead actor's name is Eric Stoltz."

"Oh……"

Ronald was speechless, and began to seriously consider whether to help this favor, and then exchange the announcement resources in Tanin's hands.

Eric Stoltz first played a part in a movie when he was filming "Fast Pace".He was later chosen to play the leading role in last year's sci-fi masterpiece "Back to the Future".

If it weren't for my insistence that there was a problem with his acting style and Michael J. Fox was replaced, then Stoltz might be the leading actor in a box office champion.

Although he continues to act, "Back to the Future" probably won't win the box office championship.But after all, he is the protagonist of a big first-line production, and his behavior has indeed changed the fate of the other party.

"You know, Ronald. When a movie comes out, especially when you're doing a little production like this, early critics are important to opening weekend box office.

If you agree to do me this favor, then Paramount's film critic resources can also be "borrowed" to you for free when "Dirty Dancing" is released.Of course, those RBIs are your own responsibility.I'm just in charge of pulling the strings. "

Seeing the time was right, Ned Tannin made an even better offer.

"I can try, but there is no guarantee." Ronald thought for a long time, but he still couldn't bear the relationship network of Paramount's marketing department.If "Dirty Dancing" can get such good conditions before its release, maybe the box office can rise by more than 20%.

For the sake of the box office, it doesn't matter if you go to the scene and make a mascot yourself.

"By the way, help the crew solve the heroine problem?" Tanin and Ronald clapped their hands to signify a gentleman's agreement, and then put forward an additional condition with a smile.

"What do you think of Diane Lane?" Ronald thought of the unlucky Diane, and quickly put forward his thoughts.

"Diane Lane? The little heroine of 'Love on the Sunset Bridge'?"

"That's her, and she's been the lead actress in three of Coppola's films."

"Honestly, I shouldn't refute your recommendation now. But the investment for this film is mostly bank loans. There is the reputation of the original heroine candidate Kim Delaney, do mortgage."

Ned Tanin explained to Ronald the operation of bank financing.Generally speaking, for bridge loans like this from banks, there must be a distribution contract, and then there must be one or two stars who can guarantee box office performance as a guarantee.

Kim Delaney was the heroine of the well-known ABC soap opera "My Children" in the early 80s and was nominated for an Evening Emmy Award.She has just switched from TV series to movies, and the reputation accumulated in TV series is regarded by the bank as a box office guarantee.At least in marketing and publicity, a lot of costs can be saved
"So, the heroine of this movie also needs to be a household name?" Ronald asked.

"Yes, and it's a face the audience remembers." Delaney's fans are so loyal that many stopped watching the show after she left "My Children" last year.

"This……"

Ronald Se.

Ned Tanin is cheap, and it's really not easy to make money.

The requirements for this kind of heroine are actually very high, and everyone must know her, and she must be beautiful in the script so that people can tell that she is more beautiful than other actresses at a glance.There are not many in the history of Hollywood who can overwhelm the crowd.

Moreover, the bank needs a female celebrity who has a fan base and is known to ordinary audiences. This is tantamount to immediately excluding several actresses around Ronald.

Diane Lane is not gorgeous enough. Her well-known character was filmed when she was a 14-year-old girl. It is completely inconsistent with the current image of a beautiful woman. If you don’t remind me, you won’t be able to recognize the little girl who is "Love in the Sunset Bridge".

Helen Slater was gorgeous enough.But there are very few memorable characters. In "A Family with an Evil Husband", the audience remembers more the performances of the short male lead and the obese female lead.

……

"What do you think of Diane Lane as Amanda Jones? What about Helen Slater?"

Ronald soon met director Howard Deutsch.Still want to ask the other party's thoughts, what if the recommendation is successful?

Director Deutsch looked embarrassed, and now the filming is about to start, and the heroine has not yet been found.

He turned out to be the assistant director of John Hughes. The box office of the first independently directed "Pretty in Pink" was not good. It also caused the heroine Molly Ringwald and Hughes to break up after filming because of their different views on the ending. up.

The second film he directed was this movie. After being fired, he came back to serve as the director again. He basically has no prestige among the old actors in the crew.

Now Hughes is busy preparing his new work "Airplanes, Trains, and Automobiles", and secretly competes with Paramount for the treatment of the next film contract, and will not give in to Paramount for his own sake.Most of the difficulties encountered in this "wonderful" need to be solved by yourself.

Fortunately, now comes Ronald.Originally, in the last movie "Pretty in Pink", I agreed with Ronald's opinion, let the heroine fall in love with the rich man instead of the poor boy.If it weren't for Hughes' stubbornness, maybe the box office wouldn't be only $4000 million.

"I think both of them are fine, but if they're substitutes..." Howard Deutsch knew that the crew needed a star.

"Any one of them is fine, as long as you, Ronald, are willing to take over the missing part of the investment." Tanin, who was next to him, continued.

"Ah..., I just asked casually." When Ronald heard that he was asked to invest, he immediately declined.

What a joke, my own money is stuck in "Dirty Dancing", if I have the money to invest in new scripts, I can start a new show myself.It's not that there is no money, and they still have to use Paramount's resources.

"Let's meet the actors first." Seeing that Ronald's expression was not good, Deutsch carefully changed the subject.

"Okay, see you."

A group of people came to the big office, where a group of actors were sitting on the sofa chatting.

"Everyone knows this, Ronald. He will be the co-producer of our crew." Deutsch walked into the office and introduced Ronald to everyone.He then in turn introduced the cast to Ronald.

"This is……"

"Eric, long time no see." Ronald stepped forward and hugged Eric Stoltz.

"Hello, Ronald." Stoltz obviously had some ties with Ronald, but most of the eyes he looked at Ronald were positive.With Ronald's box office guarantee to join the crew, he must have hope for a turnaround in his acting career.

"This is the female lead, Mary Stuart Masterson who plays Watts."

"Your hair?" What Ronald saw was a short-haired beauty, who had the temperament of Watts' tomboy in the script. The base color of the other's hair was originally dark brown, and the top was golden. Now the hair color is very messy.

"I wanted to dye my hair blonde in the previous scene, but my original hair color grew out and I haven't dyed it yet." Seeing Ronald, Masterson was very happy that his new scene seemed to be upgraded.Generous introduction.

"Stop dyeing it? It's a release that suits Watts' tomboy personality. What do you think?"

Ronald turned around and asked director Deutsch.

"Ah... ah, I thought so too."

After meeting everyone and introducing the new arrangement, Ronald made it clear that Howard Deutsch had the greatest creative authority on set and that all the actors were under his command.

"But Ronald, from my understanding, Keith in this script actually has some elements of a loser (Loser) in his character. I think he is completely filmed as a fairy tale..."

Eric Stoltz raised his hand to speak, and he also wanted to talk about his understanding of the role.

"Eric will stay here, and everyone else will leave the meeting. Come here on time tomorrow to try on costumes and do script readings. Director Deutsch will take full responsibility. I won't come."

Ronald quickly interrupted Eric Stoltz's chatter and dismissed the meeting.

"Crack", Ronald sent everyone including director Deutsch away, and closed the door.Only Eric Stoltz, and big brother Ned Tannen are left. "

"Eric, do you still have resentment towards me when I proposed to Mr. Spielberg to replace you in Back to the Future?"

"I understand it was an artistic decision, but I did have a different view on how to play Marty."

"Very good, so you are a professional actor." Ronald signaled Stoltz to sit down, and then asked Tanin to sit opposite him, staring at Stoltz to exert pressure.

"But my understanding of the role is from my heart. I really think so..." Stoltz couldn't bear the pressure of two powerful people staring at him in front of him without saying a word, and took the initiative to explain My own opinion.

"Are you out of your mind?" Ronald suddenly raised his hand to stop the chattering Stoltz.

"I...", Stoltz was very uncomfortable with Ronald's sudden change of expression.

"I invited Mr. Ned Tanin here today for you. He is very dissatisfied with your disobedience to the artistic principles of Director Deutsch. He will fire you."

Tanin made a serious expression in cooperation, and raised his chin slowly, "Are you still sticking to your creative ideas? Son."

Ronald didn't wait for Stoltz to answer, and immediately took up the conversation, "I told Mr. Tanin that I know you. It was the first time I used you to play a small role in 'Fast Tempo', although the role Small, but you did a great job. I totally agree with Mr. Deutsch about the script, we're going to do a fairy tale. Would you like to join us and make a good story?"

"I……"

Without waiting for Stoltz to answer, Ronald took another step closer and lowered his voice, "You were changed in Back to the Future, and it has had a lot of impact on your acting career? Do you want to do it again, because Creative disagreement, then get fired from Paramount?"

"Of course not." Stoltz's voice raised a tone, and he was still a little trembling.

"You are a good actor, try to keep an open mind, and then understand the concept of director Deutsch. If there is any problem that cannot be solved, you can call me. OK? I am on your side this time, I I'm sure you're a good fit for the role of Keith."

"thanks, I will……"

Eric Stoltz is not a star after all, and he was subdued by Ronald, who played both soft and hard ways.He even assured Ned Tanin that he would fully cooperate in the crew.

"Good boy, I trust Ronald and his vision. You will be fine."

Ronald sat back on the sofa, "Very good, Eric is very cooperative. Now we need to choose the heroine."

"You guys, haven't you decided on a heroine yet? I have someone..."

Eric Stoltz, who was about to go out, said to Ronald.

"Who?" Ronald asked with Ned Tannin.

……

"Do you really think Leigh Thompson is suitable?" Ronald was driving a Ferrari, with director Deutsch on the co-pilot, and the two were driving to the home of Leigh Thompson, a mansion in Beverly Hills.

"Which audience in America doesn't know Marty's mother in Back to the Future, the hot and sexy Lorraine."

"But don't you think, she is more suitable for the role of the girl next door, and even Watts is more convincing than Amanda Jones. She doesn't seem sexy enough." Ronald raised his own doubts.

From a bank financing point of view, maybe Lee Thompson is the best candidate.Because of Back to the Future, almost all viewers know her.Moreover, "Howard Duck" starring her was released more than two months ago, and it was a failure at the box office.

Some people said that the sex scene between her and that duck was the biggest disaster sex scene in history.

Li Thompson's acting skills are also very good, but the actors themselves have a kind of temperament.She can be regarded as a beauty by the characters in the play, and she can also grab other people's boyfriends, but you said that she fascinated all the men in school, Ronald didn't think it was convincing, and the audience could agree.

"What are you talking about? Of course she is the most beautiful. Li is not the girl next door. She is very attractive. It can be said that there are not many actresses in Hollywood who are more beautiful than her."

"Oh," Ronald glanced at Deutsch. Does this person have any special aesthetic hobbies, and he just likes this one from Lee Thompson?
"Ding dong", Ronald rang the doorbell.

"Ding dong... ding dong, ding dong"

"Hey, I agreed with her agent, why isn't she here?" Ronald asked strangely.Ordinarily, I was the director who made Thompson debut, so I shouldn't let myself go.Although the house that Lee Thompson lives in is much better than her own.

After a long time, Lee Thompson opened the door. Wearing a pair of large sunglasses, she let Ronald and Deutsch into the room.

"This is director Howard Deutsch, and he'd love to have you in the lead role of Amanda Jones in his new film, 'The Fabulous.'"

"Yes, Miss Thompson. I'm Howard. I've been in touch with your agent before, and I like the way you're acting. This Amanda Jones is a beautiful public high school girl, and you see we got her a name , which is the song of the same name by the Rolling Stones.

Amanda Jones, she's so pretty at home by herself, until someone asks her out..."

Deutsch was very excited to see Lea Thompson, and explained the origin of the role, and even sang a few lines of the Rolling Stones song of the same name.

"Ah... alas..."

Li Thompson heard these two lines of lyrics, what is at home alone, no one asks her out, can't take it anymore, and burst into tears.

"Hi, what's the matter with you?" Ronald hurried up to comfort and hugged Lee Thompson.

Thompson's body was shaking violently, obviously emotional.

Ronald looked at Deutsch, meaning you did a good job.He searched around, took a bottle of water from the refrigerator, and handed it to Lee Thompson.Let her calm down slowly.

"I'm sorry, I was just emotional..." Thompson slowly calmed down, and she and Ronald whispered about their predicament.

It turned out that Thompson defeated a group of actresses including Diane, and worked hard to win George Lucas's new film "Howard Duck". The box office was a disastrous failure.

The same box office failure, in fact, the extent to which investors lose money is also very different.

George Lucas, like Ronald, made all his movies with his own investment and money.With this huge production and distribution budget, even if there are three Star Wars, Lucas, who has made him crazy dollars, has suffered heavy losses.

Many criticisms in the industry are aimed at Leigh Thompson's heroine, who has no chemical reaction with the duck made by the special effects model.

Some knowledgeable people know that it is a problem with this special effect model.Different buttons control different machines to make facial expressions, which is very dull.

But many people think it's Thompson's acting skills.

Many of the scripts that invited her to star in had secretly withdrawn their invitations, or there were no invitations for the second and third rounds of auditions.

"I... my newly bought house, now I can't pay the mortgage loan."

Lee Thompson's acting career, which had a very good upward momentum, was hit by unexpected disasters.Originally based on the estimated income of Back to the Future, the house she bought immediately exceeded her affordability.

"Where's your boyfriend? Shouldn't he be here with you?"

"Dennis, Dennis went abroad to film. He also has no income to help me."

"Okay, Director Deutsch urged you to play the leading role, what do you think? This is an opportunity." Ronald handed over the script.

Howard Deutsch looked expectant.

"I agree in principle." Lee Thompson agreed without looking at it for long. "For other matters, please discuss with my agent. If she has no problem, I will act."

Amanda Jones, the heroine, has a lot of roles in it, and Thompson lacks a role that can make the audience remember her positive image again.

"Okay, mission accomplished." Ronald muttered, finally fulfilling Ned Tanin's request.Switched to a resource to promote his "Dirty Dancing" movie.

"Ronald, can you stay for a while? I have something to ask you, and I'm still a little unsure about this role." Lee Thompson stopped Ronald and left him in the mansion. Deutsch had to find Call a taxi by yourself.

"Why, do you have any questions? The male lead is Eric Stoltz. You have filmed together." Ronald asked. Great cooperation."

"No, Ronald. Do you think I'm really suitable for Amanda Jones? I'm afraid I'm not pretty enough."

Lee Thompson is very clear about her own conditions and acting skills, and has a good plan for her acting career.She agreed to act for her own income and to appear in front of the audience.

But I knew in my heart that she might not be the best candidate for the role of Amanda.So she hurriedly left Ronald for advice.

"Humph……"

Ronald thought to himself that Thompson also had concerns about his inappropriate appearance.But Deutsch seemed to really think she could.

He thought for a long time, and said to Thompson, "The director is very satisfied with your appearance, so I think he has his own considerations."

Thompson nodded.

"However, if you want the audience to be convinced by your character, remember this character. You may have to think more about the character."

Thompson's eyes were still red and swollen, but she immediately took out a pen and paper, ready to write down Ronald's opinion.

"What the audience remembers is the character in the story. Maybe your appearance is not convincing enough, but the audience will also fall in love with Amanda Jones because of the character's personality in addition to the appearance.

She didn't accept Keith's courtship in the end, because she saw that Keith didn't understand that Watts was his true love, and Watts would rather be a driver to pick him up to date Amanda in order to fulfill Keith's wish.

So these three characters have a basic tone, that is, they are all kind people.When her ex-boyfriend, rich boy Hardy, bullied Keith, Amanda held a negative attitude.

So you have to put more effort here, think about what kind of inner person Amanda is, and you will finally see Keith spending a few months painting an oil portrait of herself, and you obviously have a good impression of Keith. , Or returned the expensive earrings, the beauty of adults. "

"I remembered..." Li Thompson regained her composure and wrote down the points that Ronald reminded her.

What Ronald meant was actually to use his kindness to impress the audience when his appearance was not beautiful enough to be shocking.This kind of point is raised from the perspective of the director mastering the overall situation and balancing each role, which is very important for the actors themselves.

"Thank you!" Thompson hugged Ronald tightly. It is really rare for her to get a role now.

"Don't worry, your performance in Back to the Future, the audience in America won't forget you. Just make a Back to the Future sequel and you'll be able to turn around in no time, no matter how many bad movies you make. Think Princess Leia."

"Hey..." Lee Thompson was amused by Ronald, "But Director Zemeckis said many times that he would not make a sequel."

Ronald shrugged and walked from the long corridor to the entrance. It was a beautiful Mediterranean-style house, the floor was paved with imported Italian marble, and the door was also very expensive wood with textured metal handles.

He turned around and said to Thompson who sent it out, "If your cash flow is tight, you might as well return the house. I can't afford to live in such a luxury house now."

"I will, I figured it out, living here is a pain." Thompson stepped forward and kissed Ronald lightly on the lips.The two said goodbye and left.

"How about it, she agreed?" Ronald, who had just walked out to the parking lot, was jumped by Deutsch next to the Ferrari.

"I'm worried that she's going to repeat herself again, so I just wait here for you." Deutsch explained why he was here.

"I agree, go and prepare for the script reading." Ronald opened the car door, "I'll take you to the foot of the mountain."
