Exploiting Hollywood 1980

The National Enquirer is a tabloid. Tabloids not only refer to content that is mainly gossip, but also have smaller pages than broadsheets everywhere that report serious news. It is convenient for readers to read on the subway and bus.

Agent Richard handed over this issue of the National Enquirer, and the front page headline showed a photo of Ronald and Brooke Shields. Two men and women over six feet tall were murdered next to the Blair Arch. Photographed walking side by side.

Next to the group photo, on the left and right sides are mugshots of the two people, each with an arrow pointing to the two blurry heads in the group photo.

"Brain beats face and family background?" Ronald Lee, the famous R-rated film director, Brooke Shields' new love? "Ronald continued to look down.

"Does your teeth hurt when you eat hot, cold, sour and sweet foods? A simple way to get rid of your troubles..."

"Oh, this isn't about me and Brooke Shields." Ronald looked away from the subtitle under the photo that had nothing to do with him, and opened the inside page of the newspaper. There was a page dedicated to his love story with Brooke Shields. .

The chapter begins by recounting the famous CK Jeans commercial directed by Ronald, Brooke Shields, and then lists by category the rumored boyfriends of Brooke Shields, who is known as the "new look of the 1980s."

Categorized in the "face" column are John Travolta, Matt Dillon, and teen idol Leif Garrett. Ronald didn't really believe these rumors, especially Dillon. In fact, he knew that he was tricked by Brooke's mother Terry into taking photos for the media.

Next is classified in the "family background" column, there is Prince Albert of the Principality of Monaco. The two participated in the Monaco celebrity tennis match at the same time, and there are photos of riding on the same yacht.

"This man's fortune line is so high, why didn't Grace Kelly inherit some of his looks from him?" Ronald began to complain. . There are very strong competitors in this column.

Then there is the wealthy Egyptian businessman Dodi Fayyad, the grandson of King Ibn Saud’s physician. Owns many properties including Harrods department store in London. He once invested in the British film "Chariots of Fire" and was photographed meeting Brooke in Paris.

"I thought it was a Saudi prince. I heard there are many princes there, but he is just the prince's doctor."

Finally, there is the darling of all American mothers, John F. Kennedy Jr., the son of the former commander-in-chief, the little boy who saluted the coffin at his father's funeral. Now a celebrity in New York and a student at Brown University, he once persuaded Brooke to go to Brown University in Rhode Island.

Ronald's smile gradually solidified. This was different from the previous two. The people of America had transferred their memory of the assassinated commander to their son with the same name as their father. Everyone was waiting for him to grow up. Depends on what his occupation is. Thousands of girls also dreamed of marrying him and becoming his wife.

Maybe Brooke Shields has such thoughts.

Then Ronald looked over to him, and there was only a solitary head.

Actress Michelle Pfeiffer, this newspaper's reliable source said she and Ronald Lee were once lovers, but Pfeiffer is already married to another actor, Horton.

It is believed that this promising actress, in addition to starring in the heroine of "Grease 2", is also the heroine of the upcoming Brian De Palma's new film "Scarface", and Al Pacino partner.

Ronald felt a little uncomfortable. Didn't this form bury himself? On Brooke's side, she was either dating a kid from an aristocratic family or a star in the film and music industry. Pfeiffer was the only one on her side, and then she casually introduced herself as an R-rated film director who had also filmed the "infamous" CK jeans commercial, which plunged Brooke into controversy.

"How do they know that Pfeiffer and I used to be a couple?" Ronald asked. He was not a celebrity like Brooke, so no one would dig up his love history.

"You were involved in a dispute with that vegetarian extremist group in New York, and you helped her apply for a court injunction, remember? That is public information in the court and can be checked," agent Niceta said.

"I've contacted Pfeiffer's agent, Limato, and he said he'll take care of it, but you might want to call Pfeiffer and say hello."

"I know, just wait until I'm done." Ronald sighed, after all, he had disturbed other people's peaceful married life.

"Terry was in Princeton and was interviewed by the media together with her daughter." Niceta brought a videotape, which was played back to be the interview video of mother and daughter in front of the school gate.

"I hope that my daughter will keep her innocence as long as possible. The longer the better, she is a Catholic. I believe that Brooke will keep her vows and retain her innocence on the eve of the wedding." Terry, wearing a white dress, appeared on the TV Before setting the tone for her daughter’s scandal.

"Ronald is Brooke's friend. They have collaborated in the CK Jeans advertisement. This time he came to Princeton to shoot the new movie 'The Kid'. It's either a date as a couple or a meeting with old friends."

Ronald touched his ears. Terry was a smart woman. She knew that Ronald and Brooke had a crush on each other. If she categorically denied that they were not dating, her daughter might be unhappy. So mentioning Ronald's new movie would be considered. Show kindness in disguise. "

Brooke wore a black and white top and skirt, with a string of pearl necklaces around her neck. She explained to reporters that she asked them not to secretly take photos of herself as it would cause disturbance to her college classmates and her friends.

"Next time you date a star like Brooke, remember to notify us in advance so I can find a good PR for you." Niceta winked at Ronald.

It was already the evening of the next day. The two agents, shocked by the overwhelming gossip, rushed to the filming location to discuss with Ronald. Brooke's mother Terry handled this kind of thing very easily. She contacted the media to clarify the rumors herself.

It was getting dark, and Ronald began to prepare for the night scene. Continuing from yesterday's plot, Ali and Daniel were playing football on the beach and fell to the ground together. The four members of the Cobra Gym who happened to pass by on motorcycles saw it. The ex-boyfriend Johnny was so angry that he rushed down to argue with Ali.

Ronald first shot a few shots of motorcycle boys whizzing over. In the dark night, several motorcycle headlights were reflected in the camera from a distance, followed by the roaring engine sound, and finally the leather boy riding a motorcycle.

William Zebka's red leather jacket was particularly eye-catching. His companion saw it.

"Hey, you are already in the past tense." The companion's kind persuasion was actually adding fuel to the fire in Johnny's eyes. He rushed down to talk to Ali about reconciliation.

"Cut!" Ronald was very satisfied with the performance of these leading actors. Two weeks of rehearsal made everyone know how far the plot has developed and how much effort is needed to perform the emotions that should be there.

In addition, Ronald used sequential shooting, and the actors' mentality changed according to the plot, and the transition was very good.

Associate producer Charles Okun came forward, "Ronald, I want to ask, why do you want to turn on the headlights of the motorcycle and turn off the front lights?"

Ronald looked around and remembered that Susan Aikins did not come to the beach today. This associate producer Charles Okun began to take the opportunity to challenge his decision in front of everyone.

"I am not obliged to explain it to you." Ronald did not speak, but asked the crew to further prepare for the next fight scene.

"Ronald, Susan is not here, I have the right and obligation to raise my own questions during the filming process." Charles Okun looks good, and he is still very graceful at the age of nearly sixty. After he said that, the crew members who didn't know the inside story were a little shaken by what he said.

"Then wait for the sample to be printed out, and we will watch it with Mr. Weintraub. Now continue working."

"Okay, I just want to make the best movie. Your script is well written, but the movie is..."

"Continue to arrange the next scene." Ronald waved his hand to let all the staff continue to work, interrupting Charles Okun's plan to continue questioning himself.

Ali brought a tape recorder with two large speakers, playing pop music.

"Ali, I want to talk to you." Johnny pressed the stop button and said to Ali.

Elizabeth Sue was still wearing the same sweater and blue hairpin as yesterday. These were all the parts that the script supervisor was responsible for, so that the scenes shot at different times had the same costumes and scenery.

"I don't want to tell you, we're done." Ali pressed the play button again.

"But I want to say!" Johnny couldn't control his anger and pressed the stop button again. The two had a verbal confrontation, and Johnny threw the tape recorder to the beach.

"You broke my recorder!" Ali's voice became louder, and she pushed Johnny away.

Daniel went over to pick up the recorder.

"Don't move, you idiot." Johnny took his anger out on Daniel, and when he saw that Daniel was going to return the recorder to Ali, he pushed him to the ground.

Daniel stood up and rushed over to express his dissatisfaction with him, but was tripped by a sweeping kick, and then when he stood up, he turned over and kicked Daniel, giving him a powerful blow.

This move is actually a Korean Taekwondo technique, which has been integrated into the Korean karate - Tang Soo Do. Pat Johnson trained William Zebka for four weeks, and he has done it very well.

Daniel stood up from the beach again, sneaked up to Johnny, and hit him in the nose. When Daniel was in New Jersey, he practiced by himself for a while with a karate book. Johnny was caught off guard and was embarrassed by him.

"Cut!" Ronald was very happy that he had two weeks to record all the action scenes of the two with a Sony camera and then study them. The two had cooperated in this kind of fighting action countless times. When Ralph Mazzio hit him, William Zebka had to dodge, otherwise his nose would have really bloomed.

"Will this action be too intense? When it comes to rating..." Associate producer Charles Okun came up again to "give advice", and deliberately spoke loudly.

Many staff members looked over. They were a little hesitant about the behavior of the highest-ranking producer title holder on the scene openly challenging the director's authority.

Ronald looked around and understood a little. Yesterday, only a few people who went to see the sample knew about Weintraub's tragicomedy, and the general public did not know. They saw that Susan Aikins, who was also an associate producer, did not appear on the scene today, and Charles Okun began to challenge publicly because he saw this.

"But who gave him the courage?" Ronald wondered, didn't he know that Weintraub and Susan Aikins were my strong backers?

"Continue shooting first, if there is any problem, I will be responsible." Ronald chose to take full responsibility and ordered the crew to continue shooting.

Charles Okun seemed to have achieved his goal and stopped talking.

Weintraub was not there, and he did not watch the sample after the shooting was completed. Ronald and his agent who had been waiting for him on the set went to Michelle Pfeiffer's agent Ed Limato.

"Ronnie, Ronnie, do you want to be interviewed to confirm your history with Pfeiffer? And then mention your new film with Pfeiffer." Limato smiled and hugged Ronald.

"No, I'd better not disturb Pfeiffer's marriage life. Just deny it from you." Ronald had an inexplicable anger towards John F. Kennedy after reading the report today, and was a little uncomfortable with Brooke's handling of the matter.

If he took the opportunity to clarify his past with Pfeiffer, he could promote their new film. But Pfeiffer's husband would be as uncomfortable as he was.

"Confucius said, do not impose on others what you do not want others to do to you." Ronald said.

"What?" Limato did not understand.

"I said Confucius said, don't gossip about others."

"Hahaha, okay, call her and tell her yourself." Limato didn't force it and called Pfeiffer.

"Hello, Michelle, it's me, Ronald. Sorry to involve you in this matter." Ronald picked up the phone and said.

"Oh, Ronnie. It's okay. I got a chance to appear on camera." Michelle Pfeiffer's gentle voice sounded in Ronald's ears, and she continued to ask, "Are you really with Brooke...?"

"No, we were just photographed walking together, and her mother clarified the truth." Ronald felt a little innocent, and they were not really together.

"Well, I thought you proposed to her, hahaha."

"Is it so obvious?" Ronald thought to himself, did he really have this problem before? He wanted to be tied together when he saw a girl. It seems that among all his ex-girlfriends, only his ballet girlfriend Antonia also yearned for marriage, maybe because she is also a Catholic?

"When will your new film be released? I heard it's with Al Pacino."

"I'm the heroine, but it's mainly a gangster film, I can only be a vase at best. The premiere is on December 1st, are you coming? I'll ask Limato to give you an invitation."

"Um... I'm still filming, maybe next time there's a chance..."

"Then... that's it?" Michelle Pfeiffer said.

"That's it, bye." Ronald hung up the phone.

Michelle Pfeiffer, who was eating an apple at home, sighed and hung up the phone.
