Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 855 Premiere Invitation

After Elizabeth Sue finished filming, Ronald sent her to the hospital for a physical examination.Su, who was frightened enough, checked it out to give her psychological comfort, otherwise there might be problems in the next filming.

Ronald felt that the crew's security measures had many loopholes that were poorly managed.According to the regulations of the Hollywood stunt union, a safe area will be reserved around the helicopter before shooting starts.Moreover, for some shots involving real flying, if a double can be used, a double must be used.

"Cocktail" has a high budget, but a large part of it is spent on the salaries of the two protagonists.The budget actually spent on filming is much less.The helicopter is only enough to rent for half a day, and the actual shooting time is only 10 minutes.

In order to proceed with the shooting as quickly as possible, many safety measures had to be given up and the actors went directly into battle.

Ronald felt that if he continued to do this, something would happen sooner or later.The budget of the projects I will shoot after my daydream is much lower than this kind of mid-to-high budget movies.You still have to learn the lessons of others to prevent bad luck from falling on you.

"Hey, your 'Hairspray' crew in Baltimore, emphasize the safety and discipline of filming. Elizabeth Sue almost repeated the tragedy of Vic Morrow today." Ronald was in the hospital, found a phone, and called Daydream's script assistant David Simkins, who is now transitioning to a producer, happened to be on a business trip in Baltimore, working as an assistant producer, and learning through experience.

"Elizabeth? She's fine. That's right, you can clarify the details of the safety rules and let the people on the shooting site go through the list item by item.

What?The cost is rising, so what is the cost? The musical is to warm up every day, and carefully check the venue for water stains and small items before rehearsal.

Yes, what else, dozens of dancers, and hundreds of spectators, all young men and women, you remember to provide them with sufficient safety measures..."

David Simkins was a screenwriter and knew nothing about actual filming. Ronald asked one by one...

"Ronnie."

After making the phone call, Ronald turned around and saw Elizabeth Su. After checking that she was fine, she had already stood behind him for a long time.

"Is there anything wrong?" Ronald asked the test result.

"It's okay, I'm fine now..." Elizabeth Su's big eyes were filled with a watery breath, and something shiny was flowing in them.

"It's fine, I was shocked just now." Ronald stepped forward, wanting to comfort him.

"Ronnie, I was scared to death just now." Elizabeth Su hugged him up and leaned on Ronald's chest.

"It's fine, it's fine... In the future, you should pay attention to protecting yourself in such things..."

Elizabeth Su pushed Ronald away abruptly, raised her head and asked, "Do you really not like me? Or am I not beautiful enough?"

"What do you mean?"

"That means." Elizabeth Su jumped up abruptly, kissed Ronald, and leaned forward softly.

"Hi hi", Ronald felt the softness and warmth of the karate girl, "go to my place?"

Being an actor is a profession that relies on emotions. It is very boring to shoot for a long time every day, and sometimes you face difficulties in acting.So being able to have an encounter like dry wood and fire is very good for the actors to stabilize their state.

"Ah..." Elizabeth Su entered the door of the high-rise apartment on Fifth Avenue, jumped on Ronald's body, and began to kiss wildly.

Practicing gymnastics and playing football since childhood, her athletic ability is completely different from that of the girls Ronald had experienced before.She is very competitive in everything she does, and she has a strong desire to win or lose.

Su, who is slightly plump than the average actress, can still be considered slim or well-proportioned in real life.There was no obstacle for Ronald to hold her, and the two walked and kissed as they walked into the bedroom.

"Oh..." Elizabeth's hair was wet with sweat and became strands. She felt a little uncomfortable, and then grabbed it and stroked it back.Then went to pour a glass of water to drink.

Ronald saw that her face was very pretty, with a small European nose.He touched her lips lightly with his hand.

Both Ronald and Elizabeth Sue had the best sleep they've had in recent memory.Until the next morning was woken up by the doorbell.

"It's my manager," Elizabeth hurriedly jumped out of bed, put on her pajamas and said to the door, "Wait for me for a while"

Then she hurriedly took a shower, put on yesterday's clothes, hurriedly kissed Ronald, "You are great, when I come back from Jamaica next year, we will have a rematch!", and hurriedly asked Open the door and set off with the manager to catch the plane.

"There is a women's clothing store downstairs. Go to the Saint Laurent store on the second floor, get a new set and put it on my account." It is always a bit inappropriate for white people to wear yesterday's clothes, and it is impolite not to change clothes , and it is easy to be seen what he did last night.

"Okay, thank you." Elizabeth Su hurriedly opened the door, and left with the manager who came to urge her.

Ronald also got up to take a shower, and then opened the curtains of the attic apartment. Outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the winter sun shone in, making him feel very warm.

This kind of serviced apartment has everything. Ronald called the housekeeper to go to Saint Laurent to say hello, and then ate an English breakfast cooked by the chef. Feeling warm all over his body, he called the manager's phone number.

"Hey, Richard, find Chao Li, I have something to do with him"

"Ring, ring, ring..." After a while, the phone rang.Ronald answered, "I'm Ronald".

"Chaoli's call, I'll take it for you." Richard connected their calls.

"Aha, Ronald, I'm Chaoli. Why do you call me when you have time? I'm busy. Do you need me? I'm in New York now." The actor Chaoli said hello to Ronald on the phone.

"Oh, what a coincidence? I'm also in New York. I bought a new house on Staten Island, and I want to make it into a garden in the south of the Yangtze River. Do you know any domestic garden designers? I can hire them with a high salary."

"It's no problem. Now every unit in the country wants to export to earn foreign exchange. They like the US dollar the most. Now that the country is developing the economy and engaging in contracting, it must be very happy for the garden designer to come to America to build a garden. "

"Then I'll ask you? If you have a candidate, please call me. My whereabouts are uncertain. If I'm not here, please call my agent."

Ronald listened to Chaoli's explanation, and now domestic garden designers can only do some work for public garden maintenance and restoration. There has been no list for a long time for new businesses.In this way, it is possible to go abroad and earn foreign exchange for the unit, which unit is not willing.

Maybe in order to compete for this opportunity, several garden masters have to discuss whose seniority is higher.

Chaoli's family has high-ranking officials in the country. Basically, it is not a big problem to entrust him with this matter.

"Will you stay in New York until the weekend?" Zhao Li finished talking and asked about Ronald's itinerary by the way. "If you stay until the weekend, I represent the country here and invite you to attend the movie premiere."

"Ah, are there any domestic movies premiered in America? Chinese or English?" Ronald became interested when he heard that, not many movies from Huaguo can be shown here.Actors of Chinese origin like Chaoli also actively participated in it, and it must be a major domestic production there.

"It was co-produced with Italy. The 'Last Emperor' directed by Bertolucci, we... aren't... one of the producers in China. They also asked me to invite some important people to support me, I was worried Please less than a real heavyweight."

"Oh, it's that movie. Has it been filmed?" Ronald remembered that when he was in London, he had a relationship with the producer Jeremy Thomas.Later, when I went to visit the Forbidden City, I also met Peter O'Toole, who played the role of the last emperor's teacher, riding a bicycle.

"It premiered in Italy last month, and the response was very good. It premiered in New York on the weekend in the United States, and it was in English. The Chinese version in China will take a while."

"That's fine, I'll go when the time comes, you get someone to give me the invitation, I'm at the... building on Fifth Avenue"

"Okay, I'll send it to you right now. Here, the deputy minister will also come to the premiere, and I want to chat with you then."

"Is that so? I'm just a director, and I don't know anything about those two countries." Of course, Ronald knew what kind of domestic cadres were.I can't understand the high-level things I said.

"You misunderstood. He is a professional. He was a famous actor before he became the deputy minister. He also performed in the last emperor this time."

"Ah? You guys are really amazing. Ministers in active service can also make movies."

"Hahaha, now the country pays attention to the promotion of people who understand, professional people to do professional things."

……

Ronald hadn't met the Deputy Minister of Actors yet. Hearing the news that he was going to decorate the garden, a domestic delegation came over.

"Mr. Li, we are in New York to participate in a cultural and trade delegation's visit to the United States. This time, we heard the news from the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so we took the liberty to pay a visit."

A young bureaucrat, with an interpreter and another older person, took the initiative to visit Ronald.

"Hello, hello, what a coincidence? I thought it would take a week or two for you to talk about the garden."

"Nowadays, speed is money, and efficiency is life. We also got the news by accident. Huqiu and Jiading have suitable design agencies. We also want to visit you early."

The young bureaucrat named Xiao Li has good English and can speak without an interpreter.

"Then do you want to visit my place?" Ronald looked at the two men.

"Of course, Lao Wang is an expert in garden design. If it's convenient for Mr. Luo, we can go there now."

"Okay, Xiao Li, you guys really got there first... shall we go there now?" Ronald heard Xiao Li call himself Mr. Luo, which was a bit kind, so he switched to Chinese and said an idiom.

"Director Luo's Chinese literacy is really high." A gleam flashed in Xiao Li's eyes.

"I suffered from aphasia when I was young, and the doctor said that learning Chinese would help me recover. Later, I also took classical Chinese poetry appreciation in college, and I still remember some. For example, if you come here today, you have friends from afar... "

"Extremely enjoyable..." Seeing that the potential employer can speak Chinese, Lao Wang feels less pressure.The Metropolitan Museum of New York already has Jiangnan gardens, and now the Huaguo style is popular in America.If there is a rich man like this director Luo who can set off a trend, then my company can also export for foreign exchange in the future, and my status in the company will also increase. After all, I have the opportunity to go abroad.

"Hahaha, yes, yes, I have memorized this Analects of Confucius." Ronald laughed, and took them to Staten Island for on-site inspection.

"The land is very good. The house is in a typical Italian style. There are mountains over there, a railway next to it, and there is an open space where you can see the sky. Gardens are like this. You can't rely entirely on artificial scenery. Natural scenery.

We build a moon gate here, which is the view of sunrise.Make a corner wall over there, and walk over to the other side of the world.

A lake can be dug here with Taihu stones.You can make a bamboo forest here..."

As expected of a professional, Lao Wang made a rough plan of the place with a few clicks.

"Very good, look at this garden, how much does it cost?"

"The cost of the design is not expensive. Our charging standard is 10, and then we need some building materials with Huaguo characteristics, which can be found in Chinatown in America. There are only some unique crafts, such as special tiles, special Bamboo, as well as the unique blue bricks and bluestone floors in the south of the Yangtze River, have to be shipped from China.

I don't think it will exceed 20, and the total price is about 30. "

"30 dollars? That's not expensive, I'll make it now." Ronald looked at this miniature exotic garden, and it only cost 30 dollars, which was cheaper than his estimate.At that time, it will be a great honor to invite friends to see the popular Huaguofeng gardens.

"30 are the people..."

"Old Wang, please show Mr. Luo first, if there are any small places that can reflect the style of Huaguo, you can add them. For example, palace lanterns and screens. I think Mr. Luo wants to create a display window that is small but complete. "

Xiao Li quietly came over and stepped on Lao Wang's foot.

"Ah... yes... I'll go and have a look."

"Ronald Lee is proficient in Chinese, has a deep understanding of Chinese culture, and has a friendly attitude towards China..."

After winning the intention of the garden, Xiao Li returned to the small hotel where he was staying, took out a notebook with a lock, and began to write about Ronald.
