Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Brooke, welcome to the Today Show."

"Thank you for having me on the show."

In the 8G studio on the eighth floor of the RCA Building at the NBC headquarters in New York, Brooke Shields is being interviewed by NBC's flagship program "Today", which is broadcast on time from 7 to 9am Eastern Time every morning.

"Recently there have been new rumors about your romantic love. The National Enquirer said that you are dating Ronald Lee, the director of two blockbuster R-rated films. Is this report true?"

After chatting about Brooke Shields' college life at Princeton and the plot and release schedule of the new film "Sahara," the host broke down the most eye-catching news about Brooke Shields.

"Well...Ronald and I are good friends. He shot my first CK jeans commercial..."

The host smiled. Everyone knew the slogan about Brooke and Calvin having nothing to do with each other. Although it was banned in New York for a period of time, all teenage fans knew it.

"Later, when I was filming 'Endless Love', he was also director Zeffirelli's assistant and helped me a lot in acting."

"So you're just friends?"

"Yes, we are friends." Brooke Shields showed her charming smile and nodded in affirmation.

"Don't you have a date at Princeton?" The host continued to ask the questions that had been communicated in advance.

"No, his new movie was shot in Princeton, and we happened to meet each other. We had dinner with the crew, and he sent me back to the dormitory." Brooke Shields denied with a smile. A very cute dimple appeared on her right cheek, and the one on the left The dimples are not obvious.

"Anyway, Ronnie and I are dating later, so that's not a lie..." Bo Ji thought.

"What qualities are you attracted to in men?" The host did not follow a list of questions, but improvised a question that high school and college boys across the United States wanted to know the answer to.

Brooke Shields was a little nervous, her throat began to tighten, and she couldn't help but raise her voice, "I think it's that romantic quality, uh... uh..." This is the standard that her mother and the public relations company discussed to deal with this kind of problem. Answer.

Bo Ji used the method she had learned when she was a model. She pressed her abdomen with one hand to minimize the discomfort of lying. Then she opened the other hand from her chest and corrected her answer slightly, "Having romantic qualities... that will attracting me."

"A romantic man..." the host repeated.

"Well..." Bo Ji adjusted her sitting posture, "On the other hand, I think it is also important to feel comfortable with him. I hope he can treat me as an ordinary person...

"Ordinary people...?"

"Yes, many times I have the opportunity to meet many people, but I feel that sometimes it is difficult to communicate with them... There are many barriers to communication. It makes me feel that he is a real person and laugh with him, This is important to me."

Poji seemed to be thinking of someone, her eyes blinked rapidly, and her long eyelashes glowed under the light.

"Pfft... Hahaha..." She couldn't help laughing.

"In other words, do you want that man to really forget that you are 'Brooke Shields'?"

"I think so." Brooke Shields kept smiling and ended the interview.

Three hours later, Ronald turned on the TV in Los Angeles to watch the recording here. The "Today Show" is guaranteed to be broadcast from 7 to 9 every morning in America's time zone.

"We are just friends, not dating..." Ronald looked at Brooke Shields chatting on the TV, feeling a little bitter in his heart. It's one thing for two people to communicate in private together, but it's another thing to deny their relationship with her in front of millions of viewers on a live TV show.

"I hope he has romantic qualities... Hahaha..." Ronald felt even more uncomfortable. Romantic qualities, he just treated Brooke to a salad and a burger, and then asked her to take a shower in the hotel, and Romance seems completely irrelevant.

"Bang bang bang bang..." Suddenly the music of NBC News sounded, and the TV cut to the news host, /\u003e"Dear viewers, we have interrupted the original program schedule and will give you a real-time news break. Korean Air Flight 007, which took off from Alaska to Seoul, crashed into the sea next to Sakhalin Island after flying over the Bering Strait early in the morning local time.

There were 240 passengers and 29 crew members on board, including American Congressman Larry McDonough. He was scheduled to attend the 30th anniversary ceremony of the signing of the U.S.-South Korea Mutual Defense Treaty...

There is news that No. 007 was shot down by a Soviet Union jet fighter with a missile. NBC will continue to report for you. "

"Ah? Is this going to be a world war?" Ronald was shocked.

If there really was a world war, wouldn't a young man of his own age be drafted into the army? Thinking of the nuclear weapon sword hanging over the heads of the people of the world, Ronald couldn't help but have the idea of ​​​​drinking now and getting drunk tomorrow.

"Forget it, let's go see Diane filming 'Streets of Rage'." For some reason, Ronald was thinking of Diane Lane at this time.

He put on his leather jacket, helmet and sunglasses and rode his high-powered Honda motorcycle to the "Streets of Rage" studio. After searching twice, I found the shooting place.

"Hasn't this been demolished?" Ronald asked curiously as he watched the staff lead him into the studio. This is a small studio where the rock star Allen Ann played by Diane was filmed to hold a concert.

"Ronald, you're here. This place was demolished, but it was rebuilt a week ago."

The speaker was Jim Steinman, the film's music director. "Bruce Springsteen, who was originally used as the theme song, cancelled the authorization of the theme song of the same name, so there was no choice but to write a new song and reshoot it."

"Oh... why?"

"He doesn't want women to sing his songs." Steinman smiled bitterly. Springsteen is known as the blue-collar singer, and he doesn't want Steinman's female band to cover his songs.

Ronald looked around and found that the crew really rebuilt the concert set.

"I remember this set, it cost a million dollars at the time..."

"This song deserves this million dollars," said a backing singer brought by Steinman, holding a sheet of lyrics and music.

"Who are you?" Ronald remembered that the original theme song was sung by another female singer named Laurie Sargent.

"Holly Sherwood," the female singer introduced herself, "Steinman knew there was a problem with the authorization, so he wrote this song overnight." She looked at Steinman with admiration in her eyes.

"Today, Holly will sing for Diane. Last time it was Sargent, this time it's her turn."

Ronald looked over and saw the name of the song written on the score, "Tonight is what it is to be young."

"Ronald, welcome." The producer Joel Silver next to him saw Ronald coming in and hugged him happily. Ronald was his favorite type of director, who shot exploitation films with quality and quantity.

"I thought you had finished shooting."

"There was a small problem. We have to reshoot the last concert. Wait... I see director Walter Hill is about to start shooting."

Ronald stopped talking and looked at the top of the stage.

In a corner, Diane Lane and the male lead Pare were looking at each other, and there was a camera next to them shooting them at close range.

"A! "At Walter Hill's command, the buzzing camera began to shoot.

Next to them was a band of four black people, performing a song. Diane, who played Allen Ann, touched the cheek of Cody, the male protagonist played by Pal.

"That's it? It's over?" She said affectionately, and the lines were recorded by the microphone held up by the sound engineer above.

Ronald looked over from a distance. Diane was wearing a red performance costume designed by Armani himself, with a deep V opening on the back all the way to the waist, red high heels, and broken diamonds on the clothes and shoes, shining under the red ambiguous light.

"Diane is really very sexy..." Ronald didn't see Diane wearing this performance costume from behind last time. White skin, mixed with red light, gives people a very tempting feeling.

"Listen, I'm not the kind of person who will run concerts with you." Pal took out 100% of his acting skills and pretended to be cynical, "But if you need me in the future, I will definitely show up. "

Then Pal held Diane's face and kissed her.

Their lips just touched lightly.

"Uh..." Ronald swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, cursed in his heart, and wanted to go up and take her place.

Diane closed her eyes, and she kept her lips tightly closed, not letting Pal kiss her deeply. After waiting for three seconds, Diane opened her eyes, and Pal had to separate her lips... otherwise the shot would be wasted.

"Cut!" Director Walter Hill called a halt to the filming. The kissing scene was finished. The two leading actors had no chemistry on the set, so they could only use close-ups to shoot this scene to avoid Diane's disgusted look at Pal before and after.

"Turn to the next scene." At the director's command, the crew began to move the camera and rearrange the lights. The next scene will be Diane playing a rock singer on the stage, singing the song written by Steinman.

"Ronnie, you're here? "Diane touched up her makeup and saw Ronald standing in the audience, wearing a leather jacket and standing out from the crowd. She thought of the past when they rode a motorcycle together.

"Yeah, I'll definitely show up if you need me." Ronald looked at Diane, who was walking over. Her stage makeup used very dark eyeshadow, and her eyebrows and eyelashes were also deliberately painted with heavy makeup. She looked very charming under the lights."

"I knew you would come..." Diane punched Ronald in the chest.

"I will shoot for a long time today and go to the packing party in the evening."

"I'll wait for you..."

The shooting continued, and the million-dollar lighting engineer was invited back. The light he set on the ceiling shone through the layers of smoke, and there was an obvious light path, which looked very much like the light leading to heaven.

"Ready...a!" The shooting began.

"Dangdangdang..." The music at the beginning was obviously designed by Stanman. The piano keys were pressed heavily, bringing a sense of holiness of religious music, with the drums of rock music, strangely appearing very harmonious.

A camera was shooting a close-up of Diane's hand.

She slowly lifted the vintage microphone to her lips.

"I had a dream about angels on the beach, perfect waves starting to roll in

Golden ribbons flew out of his hair, and his touch had the power to stun people.”

The high-pitched, ethereal voice was sung live by Holly Sherwood. Diane performed very well on stage. She followed the sound with movements and showed what a rock star should look like.

Ronald didn't have time to appreciate Diane's acting skills. He was completely attracted by Diane's appearance. If he hadn't known in advance that someone was singing on his behalf, he would have been really immersed in Diane's performance.

"But I saw no angels in the city,

I didn't hear any holy choir singing.

If I can't get an angel,

I can still get a boy!

The boy will be the best thing under the angel,

It's the best thing under the angels! "

Diane held the microphone in one hand and stretched out the other hand backwards. Under the light, he looked like a mortal shouting to heaven. If no angel comes, why not give me a boy?

The lighting engineer specially created a silhouette effect. Looking from the direction of Ronald, the girl's face was shrouded in darkness, with only her hands and body, like a goddess exuding infinite attraction.

"Ting ting ting ting..." The drummer began to hit the cymbals rhythmically, and then the bass continued the rhythm of the drums, launching the climax of the melody, and then the lead guitar relay played the first part of the song. Cadenza.

Diane's hips began to twist and the light illuminated her beautiful face.

Gulao

"Woo..." The synthesizer made a roar from low to high. Ronald's adrenaline was suddenly stimulated by the sound, and he was shaking with excitement.

"I had a dream about a boy in a castle,

He dances like a cat on the stairs,

There is a prince's fire in his eyes,

There was a thunderous drumbeat in his ears. "

Diane continued to sing, and the colorful neon lights in the background of the stage lit up, forming strange symbols.

She also felt it, twisting around on the stage, raising her hands to her head and applauding.

"I'm not an angel, but at least I'm a girl!

I have a dream that when the darkness ends, we will lie under the halo of the sun! "

The more Diane sang, the more excited she became. Her facial features seemed to twist together and she let out the strongest roar!

"It will all end tonight,

Before you know it she starts.

That's all we really got tonight

Stop crying and hold on tight,

Before tonight is over...

Tonight is what being young is all about! "

Four black singers stood in a row and danced. They surrounded Diane, and the stars were in the moonlight.

Diane kept repeating, "Tonight is what being young is all about!"

She clenched her fists and began to punch the air again and again.

The lights on the stage began to flicker in time with Diane's swings.

Suddenly, almost all the lights went out, leaving only a few lights from behind that shone from Diane's back, revealing her beautiful figure to Ronald's eyes like a paper cut.

Ronald couldn't help himself and waved his arms together with the extras.

"You never know what it means

But you will know how I feel about you!

It will end!

Before you know it it's started! "

The strong light flashed a few times, darkening the audience's eyes, and then returned to normal.

Ronald's eyes also went dark for half a second, and then he saw only the black people and the band on the stage, surrounding Diane again. A beam of overhead light covered her, focused on her, and brought her beauty to all the audience.

Ronald felt that all the music, the audience's shouts, and the sound of the big crane camera had all disappeared, leaving only Diane's almost violent shouting voice.

“Tonight is what being young is all about!

Tonight is what being young is all about! "

"Cut!" Director Walter Hill stopped the shooting, "Great! Perfect!"

Diane Lane's performance exceeded his expectations and was very immersive. Not only was she extremely powerful in the camera, but the audience was also moved by this scene. After dozens of seconds, they began to applaud in unison.

The shooting was intermittent and continued into the evening. Diane, who had sung on stage more than a dozen times, was already very tired. Entering the state wholeheartedly, she was even more exhausted than the singer Holly Sherwood.

But today's state is very good, and all the understanding of the character of Alan An burst out today.

"Water", she reached out to her attendant Ma Lin.

"Slow down." When Diane looked up, it was Ronald who took over Marlene's responsibilities and handed over a large plastic water cup with a straw inserted.

"Thank you!" Diane and Ronald looked at each other and smiled.

“The filming of ‘Streets of Rage’ is all packed;

Ronald slowly lifted up Diane, who was a little exhausted. After exerting all his strength for a long time, the adrenaline wore off and Diane felt a little cold all over and started to tremble.

"You put this on." Ronald took off his leather jacket and put it on Diane, covering her naked back.

Diane felt a warmth, and the manly scent of Ronald came through the leather jacket and involuntarily penetrated into Diane's nose.

"Okay, let's go to the party." Diane smiled and took Ronald's arm, and the two of them walked to the party venue next door.

At the party next door, many large bottles of champagne had been opened, and everyone was toasting in celebration. The filming of the last scene was obviously like a miracle, and all the creators were very happy. It was an epic ending to the movie.

Ronald accompanied Diane and watched her chat with everyone. The protagonist tonight was undoubtedly this beautiful goddess who had successfully transformed from a child star.

Only the male lead Parr was a little dissatisfied, as he didn't have much of a role tonight. Apart from kissing scenes, he doesn't have many scenes.

Moreover, after filming for such a long time, Diane always treated him with sincerity and aloofness, which made Parr, who regarded himself as a romantic and talented person, a little unhappy. Seeing that Diane had become the focus of the party and the most beautiful woman in the room, he started to get ready to move forward again and went to congratulate her.

"Diane, you are so beautiful tonight. Our kiss scene will leave something in the history of movies."

"Pfft..." It was Ronald who couldn't help but laugh next to him. Diane was obviously perfunctory in the kiss scene. Ronald, who looked a little annoyed at first, saw Diane's refusal to be thousands of miles away, and he couldn't help but feel angry. Understand that there is no spark between them at all.

"What, you're not satisfied with what I said?" Parr heard Ronald's laughter, and he came up and pushed Ronald.

"Hey, don't be impulsive." Ronald took a half step back, not sharing his common understanding.

"What's wrong with you!" Diane was dissatisfied and pushed back hard.

"Hi, Diane. I send you flowers every day, but you don't accept my invitation. As soon as this director comes over, you take the initiative to post him. Do you think I don't have the power as him, or do you think I don't have the grace?"

Parr drank a few too many drinks, and may have smoked something he shouldn't have done before, and his words became impulsive.

"You said it yourself..." Ronald took half a step forward and stood between him and Diane.

"Yeah, aren't you just a freeloader?" Diane felt relieved when she saw Ronald protecting her. In addition, the filming was over, so she accidentally spoke out what was on her mind.

Pal looked around and saw the people next to him, all looking at him with contempt, as if they all agreed with Diane's assertion.

He became furious all of a sudden, took out the butterfly knife in his pocket, flicked the knife for a while, then took the handle of the knife and leaned towards Diane, "You Bichi , I rely on my acting skills... ahem..."

When Ronald saw that the other party had used a knife, he was afraid that he would make some dangerous move while drunk, so he grabbed the wrist of Parr holding the knife and twisted it back.

Palm immediately made a very awkward posture, his arm was twisted behind his back by Ronald, and with a clang, the butterfly knife fell to the ground.

Ronald snapped and kicked it sideways. Then send Pal forward.

Parr pushed back a few steps and sat down on the ground.

"Let's go first..." Ronald and Diane whispered. They greeted the producer and director and left the party first.

"You really came here on a motorcycle?" Diane smiled like a flower.

"Yours", Ronald took out a certain red helmet from the trunk and handed it to Diane, and then got on the Honda motorcycle first.

Diane stepped up from behind and put her arms around Ronald's waist. The leather jacket on her upper body made her feel warm, and she couldn't help but press it against Ronald's back.

"Where to go?"

"Go to my hotel, Beverly Hilton." Diane buried her head on Ronald's shoulder and hugged him tightly.

Ronald started the motorcycle and drove slowly. A gust of autumn wind blew up, causing Diane's skirt to fly.

The two came to the room at the Hilton Hotel that the crew had booked for Diane.

Ronald put down his helmet, turned around and closed the door.

Diane swooped up, hugged Ronald's head, and kissed him fiercely.

"Ugh..." Ronald was stunned for half a second by the attack, and then struck back violently.

He removed his hand from the leather jacket Diane was wearing.

"Well..." A cry came from Diane's nose.

The lyrics she lip-synced on set appeared in Ronald's mind.

“Tonight is what being young is all about!

Tonight is what being young is all about! "

His mind was filled with the rhythm of this song, asking Diane for more time and time again.

"Wait a minute, this skirt is very expensive,...um"

Ronald didn't want to let go of Diane, so he personally helped her get rid of the expensive evening dress. Then with a deep squat, he picked up Diane and walked to the bedroom.

The two of them kissed and released the rest, and Ronald closed the bedroom door. Under the dim light at night, Diane's white skin glowed with a mysterious shimmer like an ivory sculpture.

Ronald kissed him deeply, and the two hugged each other tightly.

The record "Tonight Is What It Means to Be Young" seemed to be playing in the room, and Diane roared like a rock star in time to the rhythm of the song.

"Let the carnival begin,

Let the fire burn,

Tonight is what being young is all about!

Tonight is what being young is all about! "
