Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Isn't that Sean Young?"

Carrie Fisher has been in Hollywood for a long time. Although the woman wore a leather muff on her head, tight black leather jumpsuit, and a black leather cape, she was still exposed from her low-cut dress. The partial and exposed chin identified the real owner.

Ronald also looked at the woman. The headgear was obviously modified by himself using some kind of special eyepatch. The cape seemed to be a peripheral product of Batman's movie. There was also a zipper that went straight to the bottom of the jumpsuit in the front. It was obvious that The source is also very questionable.

"How did you recognize it?"

"Don't ask, Ronald." Carrie Fisher ignored him.

"Who else has to show off even though she's wearing a leather suit that covers her face..." Whoopi Goldberg commented next to her. Actresses like Sean Young are indeed the public enemy of other actresses in Hollywood.

"Look, she's coming in," Carrie Fisher yelled.

After all, he was a Hollywood star, so the security guard didn't dare to go too far. Sean Young strode into the CAA office building and ran rampant in the building designed by I.M. Pei, cursing as he walked:

"Tim Burton, come out! Don't you dare to face the most suitable person in Hollywood to play Catwoman? How did you promise me in the first film?"

Ronald remembered that during the casting process for the first Batman, the "Blade Runner" actress was officially selected to play the role of female reporter Vicki Vale. Later, she fell off and was injured while training to ride a horse, so she had to withdraw and gave it to Kim Basinger, who was recommended by Ronald.

At that time, in order to persuade her to exit gracefully and not make a big fuss, Warner Bros. asked the crew to suspend production until she recovered. Director Tim Burton also promised to let her come back to play the heroine in the second film.

"Burton, where are you? You can't hide. I'm chasing you from Warner Bros. Do you think you can hide from me today?" As he was talking, Sean Young walked over to Niceta's office.

"Oh, Shxt." Carrie Fisher seemed to have a grudge against her and hurriedly hid under the table.

"Does Burton work here?" Crazy woman Sean knocked on the office door.

"This is not Burton's agent's office," Ronald opened the door, and Whoopi Goldberg came out and pointed to the aisle in the other direction.

Seeing her walking away, curiosity in human nature aroused. Ronald and Whoopi Goldberg looked at each other and followed from a distance to watch the excitement.

"Burton, come out here, don't you dare to face the most suitable person in Hollywood to play Catwoman?" Finally, Sean Young found Burton's agent's office, opened the door, and shouted loudly inside. Call.

"Burton, have you forgotten how you promised me in the first film? Why did you choose Annette Bening, a bitch, just because she was on the list of Warren Beatty? How do I compare? Not having sex with her?"

"Ms. Yang, Tim Burton is not here. I have to ask you to keep your voice down. If you continue to interfere with us, I have the right to let you go." Ron Meyer couldn't stand it and came over to ask her to leave. But after all, Sean Young's request was very legitimate, and he didn't dare to be too forceful, so he could only persuade him with kind words.

"This is not over yet..." After saying this, Sean Yang left like a gust of wind.

"Is she also your client?" Ronald stepped forward to greet Ron Meyer.

"I hope she's not..."

The two chatted at the door of the office. Because of Ovitz, the relationship between Ronald and Meyer was in a subtle state of cooperation.

"Oh my god, is that crazy woman gone? Is she not coming back?" At this moment, a voice came from under the desk in the office, and Tim Burton crawled out.

"Pfft..." Ronald almost couldn't help laughing.

Fortunately, Tim Burton is not ashamed of this, "You have never met such an actress, less trouble... this matter is finally over..."

Annette Bening hooked up with the famous Hollywood actor Warren Beatty, and now with his support, just like Kim Basinger in the first film, she came from behind and got the role of Catwoman.

"She finally said, this is not over yet..." Ronald repeated Sean Young's words.

"What else can she do? I have already given in. Besides, returning the role to her in the second film is purely her own conjecture. Can she still go on a TV show and promote it all over the world?" Tim Horton was a little disdainful.

"On TV?" Ronald frowned.

"Shxt, she can really do such a thing." Ron Meyer woke up in shock and hurriedly called the talk shows on major TV stations.

…

"Viewers, our next guest is a real Hollywood actress, big name you know? Now Tim Burton and Warner, have confirmed Annette Bening to play Catwoman... Ha, now you Got some inside information?

No, the guest is not Bening. I am inviting another actress here. She said she wanted to question Tim Burton why he didn’t let her play Catwoman as promised..."

After a public relations emergency, The Late Show with David Letterman didn't give Sean Young that chance. But another Johnny Carson screenwriter-turned-talk show host, Joan Rivers, doesn't care about this. Her program challenging Johnny Carson's Late Show has poor ratings and is urgently needed. gimmick to prove your ability.

Then Sean Young came out in that Catwoman costume, "Tim Burton, why didn't you return my call? I was the original heroine of Batman, remember? You always say that business is business, and the basic business is to return the call, which is not difficult to understand.

Have I ever done anything to let you down? Have I ever done anything unprofessional? Have I ever been late? Have I ever said anything bad about you? I even jumped on a horse that scared me to death, because you... told me to go.

When I fell off that bad-tempered horse and broke my shoulder, you didn't even send me a "get well soon" card..."

"Uh, did she really get the heroine of Batman I? Then she broke her shoulder, and the film company agreed to let her return in the second one?" Diane and Ronald watched this farce together. The two women directly uncovered many dirty things about Hollywood casting and put them under the eyes of the audience. After all, it seems that Sean Young didn't need to tell such easily exposed lies to make trouble for herself. That must be the problem of director Tim Burton.

"Well, it happened, but by doing this, she has ruined her last chance of playing Catwoman."

Ronald still has some sympathy for this crazy woman. Industry rumors say that the horse was deliberately selected by director Burton, and she did not have any training before she practiced on the horse.

In addition, during the days when Burton and the film company tried their best to prevent her from appearing on any TV shows, Annette Bening had actually withdrawn from the crew of the Batman sequel.

She was pregnant with Warren Beatty's child. This unexpected situation made Beatty, a playboy for many years, suddenly long for family happiness. He asked Bening to give birth to the child and he would be responsible for raising it.

If Sean Young hadn't done this, the film company might have gone back to her.

...

"What do you think of Sean Young's behavior?" Mario Casal of Carloco Pictures asked Ronald at the project establishment meeting for the new film a few days later.

"If I were a senior executive at Warner, I would give the role back to Sean Young..."

"Why?" Mario Casal asked Ronald while shaking hands with Jean-Claude Van Damme and Lundgren. The two male protagonists were also attracted by this topic. Recently, Hollywood and all American audiences have endless curiosity about this big gossip.

"Look at the media's coverage of this matter. If Sean Young is used again, how much free space will it get? I heard that the villain casting for the sequel is not smooth, so why not hype it up. Anyway, the first one lost money..."

"Ah, hahahaha..." Everyone laughed. Warner Bros.'s operation of making Batman a loss-making operation has gone beyond the Hollywood circle and has become a joke across the country. Now, if anyone ridicules this creative accounting method, they will use Warner's Batman as a metaphor.

"This is Mr. Roland Emmerich, and this is Ronald Lee..." Mario Casal introduced Ronald to the director of the new film "Ultimate Soldier (tentative title)" shot by the two action movie stars.

"It's my honor... to meet Ronald, who is well-known in Germany..." Roland Emmerich is a German. His science fiction film "Artificial Moon 44" was released on videotape in America and performed very well.

Ronald's new science fiction action film, which he was working on with Roger Corman, was short of a director, so Mario Casar of Carloco introduced him. After the three of them evaluated the film, they all felt that it was very suitable for the style of the new film, so the three-party cooperation gave the film the green light.

Originally, Ronald was going to invest in a new film, and several major studios were willing to cooperate. But when they saw that Roger Corman was one of the partners, they were all cautious. After reading the script, they all backed out.

Because the plot is completely Roger Corman-style:

Two soldiers in the Vietnam War, because Sergeant Andrew massacred civilians, they had a conflict with another soldier Devereux, and the two shot each other and died.

Thirty years later, their frozen bodies were implanted with computer chips and input war programs to transform them into a new generation of war robots-"Re-engineered Soldiers".

But the chip suddenly overheated, causing the two to recover their memories...

If the script changes the gun of the reborn soldier to a gun that fires biubiu green lasers, it will be full of the authentic taste of Roger Corman.

It just so happens that Roger Emmerich's "Man-Made Moon 44" is also full of this cheap science fiction taste. This man is a rare talent among German directors. He used German actors and staff to shoot an English film with the goal of entering the American market to make money.

This is very different from the performances of several other German directors, such as Wim Wenders. It just fits the tastes of Ronald and Casar.

"This is a good idea. Is it possible for us to..." Mario Casar praised it. This trick of getting free space without spending money is very inspiring.

For Ronald, investing in this "Reborn Soldier" is to fill the free time of the staff. It is okay to make no profit or loss, or even lose less. For Roger Corman, it is a kind of playing mentality. He misses his days as a film producer and wants to get back on the front line anytime.

But for Mario Casal, it's another story. "Terminator 2" has used up the last penny of his company, so he has to start shooting some B-level movies to get some money back.

After all, the boss of a medium-sized Hollywood production company doesn't even have a private jet. How can this be?

"What's possible?" Ronald didn't react yet.

"I say, is it possible for us to create such a news event? Let the media automatically give us free space?" Mario Casar lowered his voice.

"This..." Ronald thought to himself that you are learning and applying it. However, "Batman Returns" has the foundation of the first film, and Sean Young is the kind of person who is not afraid of trouble and must make trouble. How can you let us learn from such a science fiction action movie?

"How about them?" Mario Casar used his eyes to signal Jean-Claude Van Damme and Lundgren, who were standing on the side like two bodyguards.

"What else can you think of? Otherwise, go and discuss it with them yourself." Ronald felt that this was really a big problem. Sean Young had made many well-received movies before, and he was also beautiful. These two were second-tier action stars. Their popularity is still limited to the video tape market and some audiences with special tastes who like Hong Kong-style martial arts action movies.

Soon, Mario Casal, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Lundgren discussed for a while, and came back to tell Ronald their ideas.

"Dissatisfied with each other in public?"

Ronald shook his head, this is not good.

"Why not? You see, before the boxing match, there is a weigh-in ceremony, at that time both sides can brag to each other, and then the media will report it crazily..." Lundgren had a boxing match with Stallone in Rocky, and he is very familiar with the boxing publicity method.

"In short, it's not good. You two are action stars (although not as famous as Schwarzenegger), not boxers. This kind of scolding will make fans have opinions about you."

"That's right, fighters don't win by talking..." Jean-Claude Van Damme is actually smarter than Lundgren. He has a better plan for how to build his own personal brand earlier.

"We won't fight each other, we'll speak with our actions..."

"You mean, let's have a fight?"

"No, have you seen the news about the fight between Mike Tyson and Mitchell Green? Tyson won the previous match by points, and then they had a street fight and almost had a rematch."

"How about you guys have a fight?" Casal was overjoyed.

"No, no, no, don't fight, it will damage your image too much, just push each other and make some disdainful movements and expressions..." Ronald hurriedly stopped him. Fans of Jean-Claude Van Damme and Lundgren all think that they can really fight one against eight in a fight.

If they really fight and decide the winner, it will be a huge loss.

As long as there are some suggestive movements in public, the media will definitely come to report it.

...

Carroco and Daydream Pictures announced a new film, and the two main actors Jean-Claude Van Damme and Lundgren almost clashed at the press conference...

Who is the karate king of Hollywood?

Sure enough, at the project launch conference, the two had an argument, and then pushed each other. Just when they were about to fight, they were pulled apart by their entourage. It immediately became a hot topic in Hollywood gossip newspapers and began to hype it up.

"Well, the effect is okay. This experiment is good. I will try it again in a bigger scene later..."
