Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Sir, is this your first time on the Concorde?" At the Concorde boarding gate, the stewardess looked at the sweaty guest and thought he was nervous and scared, so she tried to comfort him.

Richard was panting with a briefcase, sweating profusely. He was running to catch the flight and find Ronald before the accident. He was a little exhausted.

"I... let me in..." Richard was a little out of breath and couldn't say anything.

"Oh, sir, please come in, the boarding time is about to end." The staff was no longer polite and let Richard into the boarding gate.

"Woo..."

The huge noise and crowded seats prevented Richard from taking a rest. He could only lean against the seat and slowly drink bottled water to restore his strength.

"Sir, sir..."

"Ah, don't touch my bag..."

After enduring more than an hour of noise, Richard couldn't help falling asleep in the latter part of the journey, and was woken up by the urging stewardess after the plane landed.

"No one touched your bag, sir. I'm just reminding you that we've arrived in London..."

"Oh, okay..." Richard got off the plane in a panic. A staff member from Daydream Pictures was waiting for him outside.

"Has Ronald arrived?"

"His plane has arrived. Someone from the royal family came to pick him up. He has already gone to Kensington Palace. Princess Diana is going to host a banquet for the crew."

"Let's go quickly..."

Richard held the briefcase tightly in his arms and held the staff member's hands tightly with both hands. The two ran to the parking lot. After finding the driver, Richard kept urging him to hurry up, hurry up...

...

"Your Highness the Prince and Princess..."

Ronald, Costner, and Whitney changed their clothes and were taken to their residence, Kensington Palace, by the princess' secretary. This is where they and their two sons, William and Harry, live.

"Ronald, my mother also wants to watch this movie this time. She has been interested in your movies recently, especially after watching the spoof of Top Gun last time..." Charles still had that musty aristocratic flavor, speaking in a roundabout way, and it was unclear whether he was mocking you or full of humor.

"It is our honor to have Her Majesty attend the premiere." Ronald introduced the two leading actors to the two of them.

"Oh, Whitney, did you sing that song yourself? Elton (John) called me and asked me to listen to it. It was really very powerful..."

On the contrary, Princess Diana's attitude was much more friendly. She talked to Whitney Houston about the divine song "I Will Always Love You", which also topped the pop charts in Britain, and then talked to Kevin Costner about her feelings when she watched Dances with Wolves...

Some people are born with charm, which immediately made Costner and Whitney Houston feel sincere. After chatting for a few minutes, the two felt like they were old friends of Princess Diana.

"I, I am so touched. I have dreamed of meeting a real princess since I was a child. I didn't expect it to be like this today. I thought I had to kneel to meet the princess." Whitney Houston was more exposed. She held Princess Diana's hand and was so excited that she was uncomfortable talking.

Charles couldn't help but smile impatiently. These black people were really rude...

"Any friend of Ronald is my friend. We have known each other for a long time. I know his taste. The protagonist he recognizes must be very good. I have seen your songs, right? Wait until tomorrow to watch your new movie together. I think it will be a masterpiece..."

Princess Diana spoke very beautifully. Her words praised the three guests present. Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner looked back at Ronald in surprise. I didn't expect that you have such a good relationship with the princess? What is your relationship?

"Her Royal Highness is one of the few enthusiastic philanthropists and patrons of the arts in the world. Unlike the great people who are generally enthusiastic about charity and art, the princess also has a superb appreciation of art." Ronald looked at Diana, who was a little shy and waved her hand, and simply exaggerated a little, "I am not flattering. She is the sponsor of the London National Ballet and the organizer of many charity activities. Most importantly, she is the champion of the charity run for mothers of William and Harry's school for three consecutive years..."

"Ah, hahaha..." Diana laughed at Ronald's last title. Costner and Houston were also infected by this humorous introduction. When talking about children, whether they are movie stars, singers, or princesses, they have become ordinary people and have common topics.

"Ah, of course, His Royal Highness is also the most famous philanthropist and environmental advocate in London and even the world. He has always emphasized the importance of environmental protection and preventing global warming. If it continues, coastal countries and cities will be flooded in the future."

Ronald saw that Charles on the side was impatient, so he immediately introduced him again.

"Ah, haha, haha..." This prediction was too... alarmist, and the two movie stars had to use awkward acting skills and fake laugh a few times.

"This is all for the great old Britain..." Prince Charles seemed to really believe that he was also a respected person, and he proudly said that he was so enthusiastic about environmental protection for the sake of the country.

"Hehe..." This made everyone even more embarrassed.

Luckily, Diana was the natural center of the topic. She interrupted and asked, "Does Her Majesty have any plans tonight? Can we introduce two new artist friends to her? Last time, she said she wanted to meet some American artists. Besides, doesn't Her Majesty want to see Cousin Ronald again?"

"Are you sure? Your mother was supposed to attend the royal premiere tomorrow?" Charles asked. He really didn't want to face his mother. He wanted to finish things here as soon as possible and avoid Diana to breathe the free air.

"Doesn't Your Majesty still want to discuss that matter with Cousin Ronald?"

"Well, for the great old Britain..." Charles got up and called Her Majesty the Queen.

"Did I hear it wrong, or I can't understand the pronunciation of British English. Did you hear the princess call Cousin Ronald?" Whitney Houston's brain was not enough, so she quickly whispered to Costner.

"I seem to have heard it, why don't you ask Ronald himself?"

"Hey, Ronald, why did the princess call you cousin?" Whitney Houston stared at Ronald. In fact, she was not very used to the British accent and was not sure, but maybe it would be useful to trick Ronald.

"What cousin? Did you hear it wrong? She called me Ronald, the pleasant one. This is their, um, an old aristocratic English usage. It's normal for us American country bumpkins to not understand it."

"Really?" Houston was skeptical. Co and Pleasant, although pronounced similarly, but... seems to be true?

At this time, Prince Charles and his wife had finished the call, "Mother said she also wanted to meet you and the two artists earlier. Let's go to Buckingham Palace with you to meet her..."

"Oh, really? I'm so happy, oh yeah..." The two movie stars quickly put on their clothes. They were able to be received by the Queen alone. Wouldn't they brag about it when they go back to America? Ronald, you still say you are not the princess's cousin?

"You scared them a little. Don't call me cousin. We are actually collateral relatives twice." Ronald hurriedly told Diana.

"Interesting Americans..."

The group got in the car and went to Buckingham Palace, two miles away. It took about ten minutes to drive.

After waiting for half an hour, a black taxi stopped at the door of Kensington Palace. Richard jumped out, holding his briefcase tightly in his arms.

"What, Ronald has left? When, half an hour? Do you know where they went? I am his subordinate. I meet Her Majesty the Queen. Oh, hurry up, let's go to Buckingham Palace..."

"Poor Americans..." The staff here at Kensington Palace looked at the backs that were going away and laughed. Do you still think Buckingham Palace is the White House of America? Tourists can enter at will?

…

“Oh, no need to be polite, no need to be polite, you don’t have to follow the etiquette of our country. I have a deep understanding of the informality of Americans, even English grammar is not necessary…”

Her Majesty is in good spirits, and she also wants to establish connections with some people in Hollywood. Britain’s cultural influence is declining, and there is no reaction to the traditional British culture movies being released in America. This is also the main reason why she wants to meet Ronald.

“OhyGod, I didn’t expect the Queen to be so approachable and humorous…” Whitney Houston can’t remember how many surprises she encountered today. There are so many unexpected benefits to starring in this movie.

If the news of being received by the Queen spreads, how many fans will she have in Britain? How many concerts can the “Bodyguard” tour be held here? London, Liverpool, Manchester, all have one!

"Ah, ancient and great Britain..." Prince Charles curled his lips when he heard the Queen being described as approachable. These country people...

"Ronald, I want to ask you the question I asked you last time again. Can you continue to shoot 007?" The Queen chatted with the two artists for a few words and then turned to Ronald. She still wanted to find Ronald to revitalize British literature and art. Besides, they are all family members. Giving him a title to let the world know that he is a British aristocrat is also an honor...

"Ah? I still answer as last time. 007 should still be directed by a British director..." Ronald still wanted to decline. The British film industry is actually very exclusive, and there is a tendency to look down on Hollywood. If their only popular film series is taken over by himself, wouldn't it offend a large number of British Hollywood Oscar judges with voting rights?

"Don't run, stop..." At this moment, a voice came. A man wearing a handmade suit and looking like an MI6 bodyguard was chasing a man holding a briefcase from behind.

"Ronald, Ronald...ah..." The man in front, holding a briefcase in both hands, ran very fast and rushed directly to the Queen. Then he was held down by the two bodyguards chasing behind him, with his hands clasped behind his back, and was about to be dragged away... "It hurts, it hurts..."

"Richard?" Ronald finally recognized that the man who was pressed to the ground and screamed in pain was his agent Richard.

"Do you know him?" The panting bodyguard next to him looked up and asked.

"Your Majesty, this is my agent. Is there any misunderstanding?" Ronald stood up and asked Her Majesty the Queen.

"I'm Ronald's agent. I have something to do with him. I came here from Kensington. I don't know what procedures you have here. I saw no one answered me, so I had no choice but to come in and find him myself..."

"Ah, ancient and great Britain..." Prince Charles covered his face. He had just praised the security of the British royal family, but now a tourist dressed as a tourist rushed in and was not held down until he approached the Queen.

"Oh, hahaha, you have a good agent. Any monarch would hope that his subordinates are as responsible as your agent..."

The Queen cleverly used humor to resolve the embarrassment. Ronald was very grateful. If this caused a diplomatic incident, it would be troublesome, so he apologized to the Queen and wanted to talk to Richard and ask what was the big deal that led him to break into Buckingham Palace at night.

"For God's sake, what is it?" Ronald pulled Richard aside and patted his wrinkled suit. "Try to be brief. I still have something to discuss with the Queen."

"I'll try to be quick. Someone broke the news that you are Chinese, or at least have Chinese ancestry. The report was leaked to Ed Bastian, who got a 48-hour delay in reporting. We couldn't contact you, so I had to fly to you to report. The briefcase contains the manuscript to be published in the newspaper, and we still have, um, more than ten hours...

Also, there are other rumors and clues in the report. Ed Bastian thinks this is a series of reports. He asked around for information, and a reporter from a newspaper revealed that the new report would say that you are a spy sent by that country to Hollywood, and you are trying to win advanced technology and talents for that country..."

"Nonsense, when did I become..." Ronald's heart skipped a beat. This was probably the biggest secret in his life, how could it be suddenly revealed? The blood in his body surged, and his ears suddenly turned red...

"Yes, Ed even went to your aunt Karen to verify it, and she also said nonsense that you are the authentic descendant of immigrants from the old thirteen states of New England."

"Fuxck, I'm not talking about that. Forget it. You said someone accused me of being a spy from which country, and what's the matter?" Ronald thought to himself, as expected, women are born actors. It's best to end this matter like this, but it's certain that someone wants to mess with me, but how did this spy hat come to be put on?

"After I arrived in London, Ed called me. Roger Ailes's opinion was nodded by the new president, and there may be an investigation into you..."

"What? Why?" Ronald was furious when he heard about the investigation. What, is this to frame you and put yourself to death?

Americans are an immigrant country. They may not value your origin so much, but espionage is undoubtedly a very serious stain. Just like Israel, the closest ally, the CIA Israel spy case that broke out two years ago also refused to release people.

"Ronald?" Maybe they had been talking for too long, the Queen turned her head...

"What should I do?"

Ronald suddenly calmed down. This might be a major turning point in his life, but he had no time to get enough information, nor did he have the ability to make this matter disappear through connections, especially since Roger Ailes said that the new president had nodded...

All he could rely on was his wisdom and a little courage at the critical moment.

America is a very anti-Chinese country. His ancestors ran around because of the Chinese Exclusion Act and divorced his great-grandmother. Chinese people were also banned from marrying white people for decades. It was not until the 1960s that this law was relaxed in some states and abolished.

And Chinese people are yellow people, just like Japanese people, these immigrants are not very popular. It is completely different from immigrants from Europe. If you are a descendant of Chinese and there are rumors from nowhere that you are a spy, the public will have a bad impression, and it will also trigger some political forces to add insult to injury, or make you a target.

The alliance has disappeared, and many people want a new enemy...

Being a descendant of nobility is a plus point in America...

Thinking of this, Ronald made a clear judgment, so let it be.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to take over the production of 007, but I need some help with copyright, especially the author Ian Fleming Foundation..."

"Hahaha, I will ask someone to pass the message. What reward do you need? Your bloodline is not suitable for a high title at once. Starting from the Lord is a good ladder..."

When the Queen said this, Kevin Costner, Whitney Houston, and Richard were all stunned.

"Your Majesty, sometimes as an American, it will be better to help make British movies..."

"Okay, then grant the OBE medal first. If you want to be called Sir, you have to be a citizen of the British Empire..." The Queen was in a good mood. Finally, she didn't have to watch those 007s who were not handsome and had two caterpillar-like eyebrows. She didn't care about Ronald's refusal to naturalize.

"Dan, you are really the princess's cousin?" Houston looked at Ronald with an expression that said, "I knew it..."

"Ah, you are the princess's cousin?" Richard was stunned. How come you are not of Chinese descent, but of British royal aristocratic descent?

"I'll tell you later..." Ronald thought to himself, there is also the queen here.

"Haha, we are distant cousins, his grandmother is a noble lady from Britain..." Princess Diana explained with a smile, she was only half joking when she called Ronald cousin.

"HolyShxit! I knew it, I knew it..." Whitney Houston's eyes were already shining, and the fire of gossip was burning.
