Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Time came to January 1989. Ronald had been in Los Angeles and continued editing.

"When Harry Met Sally". Although Daydream Pictures is not large in scale, the directors are all smart people with drive and industry experience.

This allowed Ronald to let go and do his job as a film director.

The casting process for the third part of "The Kid" has also been completed. The heroine of the first part, Lisabeth Su, will return to make a guest appearance. Ali has already gone to college and is two places away from Daniel.

The heroine of the second part, Japanese actor Tam Ling Tomita, will play a guest role as the ancestor of Kumiko in the past. The most important thing is that Daniel and Miyagi, the master and apprentice, had a story with the female characters when they dreamed back to the Ming Dynasty.

Tsuihark originally meant to belong to a Malaysian actress, icheleyeoh.

But she unfortunately married Mr. Pan, a film tycoon in Xiangjiang. After her marriage, she followed tradition and retired from the film industry.

Ronald had seen the audition photos and a video clip that tsuihark had brought. It really fits Hollywood’s imagination of Oriental women.

In particular, her English is at the level of a professional actor, fluent and with some Asian accent, which is very suitable for this movie.

But according to the tradition in Hong Kong, female celebrities have to stop acting after getting married. Ronald also called ja and asked him to transfer the money.

In the end, the invitation was not successful, and she only agreed to play the role of a Chinese fairy who rescued Daniel's master and apprentice.

tsuihark’s final choice was rosaundkwan, another Hong Kong actor who is fluent in English.

However, her skills are inferior, and she needs to reduce some of her action design, and use Ronald's acquaintance, the female martial artist Yuenqiu, as a stand-in.

"Harrison is not going, Sigourney, Melanie, and Joan are going back..." Ronald was confirming the candidates for the Golden Globe Awards with public relations consultant Michael Gray.

The Golden Globe Awards are approaching, Ronald's

"Working Girl" has been nominated for several awards. There were six nominations in total for Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Song.

Ronald was very generous to the Golden Globe Awards and agreed to attend in person for the sake of box office. Except for Harrison Ford, who was absent from the cast, all three actresses agreed to attend the scene.

The Golden Globe Awards is originally a grassroots team. As long as they agree to come to the scene and contribute to increasing the ratings, they will basically give a nomination. The award depends on the popularity of the nominated star.

So for Best Actor and Actor, the Golden Globe Awards have two categories, feature film and comedy or musical, for a total of four awards.

This is also the reason why celebrities are given more opportunities to win awards on the spot. The supporting actor awards were combined into one because there were so few stars. There was only one award.

"Okay, I'm going to communicate with the organizing committee right now. It's estimated that we have a high chance of winning the Golden Globe this year. The other shortlisted movies don't have too many stars. 'Rain Man' happens to be the same as our main cast of actresses. The lineup is staggered by Martin Scorsese.

"The Last Temptation of Christ," with Alan Parker

"Mississippi Burning" also has no stars. "

"Okay, okay, is this public relations too obvious?" Ronald was a little worried. The Golden Globe Award has now been reduced to a clear price tag.

If you bring in a few celebrities and give some benefits to the judges, you can basically get some kind of award. If he wins too many Golden Globe Awards, his reputation will not be good.

"Whose award do you want to focus on keeping?" Michael Gray knows exactly what people like Ronald think.

I also want to use the influence of the Golden Globe Awards’ national television broadcast to advertise, but I don’t want people in the industry to laugh at me behind my back for using money to buy awards.

So he came up with an idea to focus on ensuring a few topical awards.

"Melanie Griffith's Best Actress, Sigourney Weaver's Best Supporting Actress... Well, if I may, Joan Cusack's..." Ronald thought Think about it, my own

"Working Girl" is about independent female characters, so the marketing should highlight female actors.

"Supporting actresses may not be able to do what they want, and the number of places given by the Golden Globe Awards is too small. But I will try my best. Generally speaking, the Golden Globe Awards are more popular for male acting awards, and media reports will focus on them..."

"But Harrison Ford went to film Indiana Jones. George and Steven are not so easy to talk to..." Ronald replied angrily. He also knew that the publicity effect would be better if Harrison Ford came, but this A male star seems to have seen through that his acting style will not win any serious awards, so he doesn't even care about the second-tier Golden Globe Award.

"Anyway, we have to find a way, otherwise the Golden Globe Awards for Leading Actress and Supporting Actress may not even make it to the second edition..." Michael Gray also spread his hands. You want this and that, and I'm very happy too. It’s difficult.

"We need to find some selling points..." Ronald began to rack his brains...

"I heard from Aunt Karen that you bought a new house in Los Angeles?" At night, Ronald spent the night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Helen Slater has gone back to spend the Christmas and New Year holidays with her family. Diane left her father behind and came to Los Angeles to be with Ronald.

The two of them seemed to have some kind of agreement and would appropriately arrange their time with Ronald.

"Yeah, it seems you can see it from here..." Ronald walked to the balcony of the loft suite and pointed to a park environment with light shining through the darkness at night.

"There's a patch of land right there, and it's blocked by trees."

"Is the house big?" Diane asked looking across.

"It's not very big. It turned out to be Stallone's house. I'm going to demolish the house next door and build a new one so that we can live more comfortably..." Ronald briefly explained the origin of the house.

"I met with the great architect Ieoh Ming Pei, and he said that the luxury house does not need to be too big. If the house is too big and does not match the number of people, it will lead to bad feng shui. In fact, it is enough, and you can find ways to create more gardens in more places. And exercise facilities, this is in line with human nature. I plan to listen to him..." There was some wind tonight, which made me feel a little cold.

Ronald held Diane from behind and smelled the familiar smell from her hair. For a while, Ronald also looked forward to the life after the house was built.

"Then before you tear it down, can you throw a party for me?" Diane turned around and kissed Ronald on the face, testing it with a smile.

"Of course, but it's not really suitable for a party there. If you want to have one, I can ask Richard and Paula to find a better place for you."

"That's different..." Diane acted coquettishly,

"I invited some friends from before when they were not famous. I wanted to find a place to have fun."

"Of course, as long as you are willing...I will let them get ready...Who did you invite?"

"We are all friends we met when we were making movies together. At that time, I was still having bad luck, so my friends at that time were more sincere."...

"Wow, it's great here, Diane." Diane found friends who came to Ronald's new house to hold a party. They all met when they made movies together.

for example

The two Chinese actors in "Monsters in Chinatown" are Wu Hanzhang and Deng Gang. besides

Robert Duvall in "Lone Dove."

Suzy Amis and Bruce Dern in "Casino Hustler". And Bruce Dern’s daughter, who acted in a rock movie with Diane

Laura Dern of "The Amazing Stains." Laura Dern and Diane were only fifteen or sixteen years old when they made a movie together, and the two were considered best friends.

As soon as he entered the house, he started yelling and dragging Diane to play the arcade game that Ronald had placed here.

"Is this a housewarming party? Are you just moving into Ronald's house?" Laura Dern saw no one around, so she pulled Diane and started talking about best friends.

"Actually, it doesn't count, because Ronald said he would bulldoze the house and build a new one..." Diane smiled reservedly.

"That means that after the new house is built, you will..." Laura Dern had long arms and legs, hugged Diane and smiled.

"Don't let it slip..." Diane saw Suzy Amis also walking over, and quickly asked Laura to whisper.

"Is this a greenhouse party? I didn't even bring a gift." This was the first question Suzy Amis asked when she came over to meet Diane.

"Hahaha, you see she asked that too..." Laura Dern fell to the ground laughing happily.

…

"Your house looks really nice, it's quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle." Robert Duvall congratulated Ronald outside.

"I also picked up on the stock crisis..." Ronald accepted the compliment with a smile.

"How do you think you have such a big brain at such a young age? I didn't understand this at all when I was your age. I was still filming for Roger Corman. He only paid me the minimum wage. I I didn’t know how to find a reliable agent. Easy Rider was originally my role as Jack Nicholson.” Bruce Dern also used a unique way to compliment Ronald.

He can be regarded as a graduate of Coleman University, but he is just average.

"So it's all luck. In this industry, whether you are popular or not depends on luck." Robert Duvall drank a bottle of beer. He always believed in luck and did his own thing well. Others Leave it to God and the audience to decide.

"Your place is really nice. It's more than enough to hold a big party for hundreds of people." Ronald didn't know how good Bruce Dern's acting was, but his performance of the emotion of envy was definitely excellent, and it not only made Ronald feel Comfortable, and not too exaggerated to cause falsehood.

"It was all done by Diane and her agent..." Ronald turned his head and looked at Diane and the two female guests.

Diane is actually quite scheming, or was it taught by her agent Paula? In these movies, two leading actors were absent and uninvited.

One is Kim Cattrall, who had a substantial exchange with Ronald. The other is Matt Dillon, who played Diane as an on-screen couple three times.

In any case, they are not suitable to be at this party.

"By the way, are there any publicity stunts for the Golden Globe Awards?" Ronald thought of business and asked these two veterans who have been in Hollywood for decades.

"What other gimmicks does the Golden Globe have? Unless you expose the scandal of buying the award yourself... Hahaha" Bruce Dern burst out laughing when he heard Ronald's question.

In fact, not only the industry, but also the audience watch the Golden Globe Awards to see the stars. What other gimmicks can you expect?

Everyone is just watching the fun.

"I didn't say it..." Ronald also took a sip of beer and shook his head. Forget it.

"I remember your daughter was Miss Golden Globe?" Robert Duvall looked at Laura Dern inside and asked his father.

"Yes, in 1982, I gave her a chance to enter the entertainment industry. Her mother and I spent a lot of effort..." Miss Golden Globe, the young woman who served as the emcee at the Golden Globe Awards, presented the award The hostess handing over the trophy.

For this role, the Golden Globe Award was also used in exchange for the presence of stars. Most of the Miss Golden Globe Awards are the children of Hollywood stars.

In this way, their parents and friends will also come to support the show, and the ratings will increase by another percentage point.

"Oh, I remember, it seems that Melanie Griffith also served as Miss Golden Globe?"

"Really? I don't remember." Bruce Dern said.

"1975, I remember." Robert Duvall smiled at Ronald. This was his purpose in bringing up this topic.

"Thank you..." Ronald picked up the beer and gestured to Duval. He remembered this favor.

"Melanie Griffiths was the Miss Golden Globe in 1975. If she wins the Golden Globe for Best Actress this year, she will be the first actor in history to achieve this achievement. I wonder... ” Ronald then called public relations consultant Michael Gray. Was this a good stunt?

"Then the media can publish special topics, from Miss Golden Globe... to Golden Globe Best Actress, Melanie Griffith's Hollywood trip..." Michael Gray was very excited. Such a topic is very popular. There it is!

"And her Hitchcock girl mother..." Ronald laughed, adding an eye-catching gimmick.

Back then, Melanie’s mother, Tippi Hedlund, was also a very good person.

"Talent". The two films she shot for Hitchcock,

"birds" and

"Beautiful Thief" is a representative of the classic sexy blonde that many viewers can't forget. But then she seemed to have a falling out with Hitchcock, and she never made any movies again.

Tibby seems to be obsessed with animals and even opens a wildlife park where he lives with wild animals every day.

Melanie Griffiths was bitten by a lion when she was a child, causing her fractures to be shattered and almost disfigured. Melanie's current mental state of dependence and addiction has a lot to do with her mother's unreliability.

"From Hitchcock girls to zoo girls..." Michael Gray echoed with a smile. These messy histories are so loved by gossip newspapers.

"The zoo is not very good, let's go from Hitchcock girl to nail salon proprietress." Gray changed the title.

"The lady who owns the nail salon?" Ronald was surprised.

"You don't know? Vietnamese immigrants get manicures, which was invented by Tippi Hedlund. After the Vietnam War, many South Vietnamese immigrants and women worked in nail salons. It didn't matter if they didn't speak good English. They could save a fortune. Keep the money..."

"Well, she is really a nail salon proprietress." Soon, with Ronald's support and financial subsidies, various media began to hype this rare event in Hollywood history.

"Inspirational story. This story of going from being a hostess at an awards show to accepting a trophy is particularly in line with the tastes of the American people.
