Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 298: Box Office Dark Horse

Brooke Shields' financial situation is so bad that she might not even be able to keep her house in New Jersey." Richard found out Brooke's financial situation in just a few clicks.

Her stupid mother spent a lot of money to buy out the distribution rights of Brenda Starr's last movie, thinking that she could use the fame of 007 Timothy Dutton to return to the mainstream. Who knows."

"Hey...", Ronald sighed, Brooke's mother Terry was really a disaster. This comic adaptation of Brenda Starr only ran for a few days before being cut in half by theaters, with a total box office of just over $60,000.

Timothy Dutton's reputation has also been greatly affected. The new 007 movie "License to Kill" released in the summer only had a box office of more than 30 million in America, and the box office in Britain also dropped a lot compared to the previous movie.

Seeing that this old-themed spy film was no longer a hit, MGM further reduced its production, and even the 00 series, there were rumors that this would be the last one.

"If Brooke can get a normal agent and find a way to find some advertising endorsement business for her, let her tide over the difficulties. Otherwise, her mother will lose all her money no matter how much she earns." Ronald was about to reconcile. Diane's voice came over as Chad continued to discuss.

"Honey! Honey!" Ronald heard Diane calling him, winked at Richard, and immediately replied, "Ronnie, they want me to be an advertising spokesperson, but I'm pregnant, so what's next?" Mirror..." It turns out that Lisi asked Lu Lunyuan to come up with the idea. "You want it, it will look bad if you are pregnant..." Lisi covered his face, and his face was slightly less edema. Not to mention that TV ads and print ads are also suitable... Besides, Oh, the housewife is very convenient for making coffee. Are you sure he is cheating on you?

John, he is going to become famous. Last night’s box office statistics were released. It will exceed 10 million in the first weekend. John is going to become a small star again! "

"Thank him, Demi...

"He is saying that you have become a little star again?" Ronald looked at the agent relaxedly, and if he got it again, I walked behind the table and opened the drawer.

The entertainment industry is not a place to chase fame and fortune. Although John Ronald is the heroine of the movie, the ones pursued less by photojournalists are Olivia Diane-John and the Scientology Wey Newtons who have not yet left. That made John Ronald very happy, and his fake smile gradually became lively.

It exceeded 17 million, and the box office of a single theater was less than 10,000. That was his worst first- and last-minute performance in the past ten years! "

John Ronald opened the door and let his manager go. Did he know why he came so early? Do he still want to increase the number of audience meetings? Isn't it necessary for such a big baby movie to do so little?

"Amy, the box office and reviews of that movie were beyond everyone's expectations. Mr. Frank Price from Sony called you and asked if he was interested in continuing to direct the sequel? There will be a small increase in compensation. , and the plot is also dominated by him."

In addition, the TV reporter who was interviewing on the spot only asked two questions to me, but to my former male partner Olivia: Diane John and his wife asked so many questions. As a singer, Received less attention than Lu Lunyuan.

Early on the seventh day, Kelly Preston got out of bed, left a note, and left Ronald's apartment. You still have to go to the Heckling Center to be a censor. The density of beautiful men in the Heckling Center now has slightly increased or decreased before Tom Cruise came here. Everyone wants to be the last Mimi Rogers, but now they have to wait until one Bad Hollywood stars have to fight for it. "They heard it too. Your wife wants to appear like that. Wait until next year for them to come again..." Bruce supports Leith's decision. Anyway, Capcom is here. The income from the movie and the dividends from several movies have been transferred to Leith, and you now have enough private money.

"Can I borrow a fire?" A handsome man appeared behind Qu Fu.

Ronald secretly hopes that he can make a comeback with that movie, but his reason tells me that I hope little Ronald will be surprised. Is there no handsome man willing to talk to me yet? Taking a closer look, it's also a Bad Hollywood actor, Kelly Preston. You, like me, shot several movies that lost money in a row, and your career in Bad Hollywood was basically cut off.

The person who came that time was not the distributor of Nescafé in Japan. We wanted to ask Liss to be the spokesperson of Nescafe in the Japanese market. The main purpose was not to make it very convenient for housewives to let their husbands drink coffee that tastes terrible.

"John, John..." At noon on Monday, a woman in a suit and tie came to Ronald's door and knocked on the door.

Hey, what is he looking for? The agent felt relaxed when he saw it was over, "You accepted that drama for him, he would want to replace you, right?" "

"Hmph..." John Lurunyuan ran outside the cinema, and my little Italian-style oilhead who had not ordered out of date was shining brightly in the light. The movie "Look Who's Talking" was screened during the test screening, but the distribution department of Eight Star Company is not as weak as Paramount and Universal. It was recently acquired by Sony together with Columbia...

"Oh, thank you, thank you." Amy: Travolta thanked him repeatedly. That was to give you a chance. "Where did he go? You were looking for the contact information of the handsome man on the day of the premiere. Where did you throw it?" went?".

My star career is smooth, and my plan to hook up with a celebrity girlfriend through Hekelin was also successful. Later, through Hekelin's activities, I hooked up with the beautiful actress George Clooney. Whether his acting career is successful or not, it is entirely possible to get promoted by relying on me. It's funny to say that the most expensive gift George Clooney gave you was a Vietnamese pet pig with a small belly. A few days ago, at the premiere of "Look Who's Talking" in front of the Beverly Hills Cinema in Los Angeles, Bruce thanked Demi Moore who came with Scientology Will Lu Lun.

"He's kidding, right?" John Ronald's sleepiness was swept away, and I stared at the agent with narrowed eyes. For a baby movie like that, how could it not have a box office of 10 million in the first weekend?

Lu Lunyuan was moved and accompanied the two businessmen out, and then introduced Richard to us. Then he whispered a few words in Richard's ear.

"Ah, it's really a pity..." The two Japanese businessmen bowed and apologized. People in the East Market hate American male stars as endorsements, but there are not many Hollywood male stars who are not famous in Japan. That time, we were lucky, and we felt very difficult.

"Hey" John Ronald lit a cigarette and sighed. I dared to go back and watch the screening effect of my own movie.

"Yes, the first part has exhausted all your screenwriting materials. You have to find another professional screenwriter to cooperate with for the seventh part. Travolta returned to the topic.

"Sister Olivia, he is bad, you are his fan." Bruce saw Olivia, an Australian singer who had worked with John Ronald in "Grease" that year, and smiled and greeted you. Your next play, not the heroine, is John Ronald's "expert". The production cost is 18 million, and the national box office is still 700,000. "Is everything okay? "

Sony and Liss were unfamiliar with each other because of the food delivery. After several rounds of communication, some businessmen from Donghao saw the opportunity and asked the people in the CEO's office to introduce us to Liss. At the same time, Bruce found the director, Amy Travolta, to talk about the sequel of the movie. Frank Price later officially became the junior executive of Sony-Columbia before the merger. The CEO candidate Gubel still needed to complete the procedures for his production company to be acquired by Sony and had not yet taken office. "Huh, Demi (Moore) told you how experienced she is. Women are all hypocritical." Liss made up his mind to learn from Demi Moore and practice some soft gymnastics for pregnant women to prepare for prenatal recovery.

Kelly Preston is also a representative actor who has been exposed by force. Four or seven years ago, the few movies you shot were all lost money. It was too bad that you could only play supporting roles. In addition to serving at the Heckling Center, I couldn't take on a single role every year to maintain my acting career because Lis Lane's singing image outside of "Streets of Rage" was very unknown in Japan. In addition, Capcom's arcade games helped promote Lis's image outside of movies. Now there are very few male protagonists in comics in Japan, and they all started to imitate Lis's dressing style.

After that, I worked with Olivia Diane-John again before "Grease", and Fox directly cancelled the contract with me. The previous two movies made Columbia and Paramount willing to invest in any movie I starred in. "Of course..." Ronald handed over his cigarette, and Kelly Preston took it and lit his own.

The two of them puffed in a corner of the theater. "You never thought that a movie you spent a weekend dubbing could bring you such a good profit, Bruce. "Scientologist Will Newton is still in the process of filming "Die Hard 2". I now position myself as Bruce's bad buddy. The tone of my speech is something that Johnny Lucy can't even reach. When John Lucy was a popular Hollywood star, Scientologist Will Newton was still hanging around in the TV station. He also dreamed of replacing Ronald's position. Now his dream has come true, and Ronald's star coolness has been reduced to above his own rank. The pride in his heart is beyond words.

So Frank Price wisely avoided the Columbia Pictures project, but I have nothing to say about the eight-star public. The company was glad that a group of box office white horses suddenly appeared. It was reported that the work on the sequel had been completed. Sure enough, John Ronald came to chat with Lu Lunyuan, and his tone of voice was less flattering than that of Scientology's Will Newton. There was no feeling of awe for Bruce. That made Will Newton very satisfied. You are the same as them now. With a slight smile, you are competing with those seventh-rate stars, dragging Demi Moore to withdraw from the cinema. In short, if you lose money like the next eight consecutive movies, it will be bad. If there is another loss-making work, Ronald will be abandoned by Hollywood.

"He said, are you going to stop practicing yoga? "Returning to the living room, Lu Lunyuan saw Lis touching her face and ending her distress.

"Oh, Bruce, it's really great, like a dream come true..." Amy Travolta was very happy and hugged Bruce. The director who competed with me for the movie was really short-sighted. If I was content with a supporting role, I would definitely not be the right-hand man of my company now?

Two frustrated women and men were smoking outside the aisle of the cinema. They were both handsome and fell in love with each other. Yes, how to say it? The two of them also wanted to develop some kind of relationship. Their careers were not so bleak, and they had to find a way to turn things around.

"If he is willing, he should practice carefully and don't tire himself out." Bruce said that he loved Liz no matter what her figure became. "Bruce, introduce her to him. That's your best partner, Olivia Diane-John."

"Did he agree? Let his agent talk to Mr. Price. Do you remember that his husband is also a screenwriter?"

After that, Bruce went home to have dinner with Liz. A few years ago, I took the suitcases that Liz had packed, got on the business jet, and flew to London to attend the royal premiere of "When Harry Met Sally".

Olivia Diane-John hasn't left Hollywood for a long time and is not married yet. She came to the premiere with her husband to promote the new song. You looked at Bruce with emotion. If Ronald was willing to appear in "Grease 2" that year, it might not be directed by Bruce. You said that there would be no chance for him to become popular in Hollywood...

Demi often came to my house during that period and became best friends with Lulu. It's just that Lis doesn't have any relatives or friends in Los Angeles, and it's not good for your depressed mood to have no actors of the same age to chat with.

A beauty saw that Han bought a bottle of wine every day after drinking for a few days. It was a bottle of "Rodriguez, thank him." The one who thanked Rodriguez was Scientologist Will Newton. Today, I appeared at the premiere with Demi Moore, and I was in a bad mood.

Don't be like that, the movie makes money, and you don't make money... Wait until you go to London first, and if the box office continues, you can try to distribute the movie to Britain and Europe, and he will go to London to hold a premiere next year."

I didn't appear in the movie directed by Amy Travolta, but just dubbed the baby outside the male protagonist's belly, but no matter the income or the degree of being sought after by reporters today, it is a level lower than the female lead John Ronald.

That's Ronald's agent. I got the box office statistics early and called Ronald several times immediately, but no one answered, so I went directly to my door and started knocking on the door.

"Whatever you want, it's fine. "Bruce accompanied Lu Lun to see a doctor. Anyway, the doctor did not approve of back exercises. As long as Lu Lun was in a bad mood, what could he do? "You see, it's wrong. He is also very photogenic when he is pregnant." Bruce felt that it was very wrong. It was very good to maintain Liz's image in Japan. Besides, she was pregnant without showing her belly, and the tight and loose clothes could cover it. It was just right to announce to the Japanese audience that Liz was my, Bruce's, wife. When necessary, I would also appear on camera.
