Exploiting Hollywood 1980
Chapter 174: Meeting with the Commander-in-Chief
The President's office called and said that he would meet Ronald and the two actors of "Break Dance" at the White House to honor the three young people for speaking out for the various races and disadvantaged groups in America, and perfectly embodying the unity of America through film art.
The Olympic Games to be held in Los Angeles and the Paralympic Games to be held in New York were collectively boycotted by the Eastern Bloc headed by the Soviet Union. Most of the Eastern Bloc's Eastern European countries, Cuba in Latin America, and African countries such as Angola boycotted the Olympics.
Only Yugoslavia and China did not participate in the boycott. In particular, mainland China sent a delegation to participate in the Olympics for the first time after a 30-year absence.
The official reason given by the Soviet Union for the boycott was that America ignored the racial and discrimination issues in its own country and stirred up great power chauvinism and hysterical anti-Sovietism.
The actual reason, as everyone knows, was revenge for America and its allies' boycott of the Moscow Olympics four years ago.
Yuri, the former Secretary-General who took a moderate approach, had already prepared to send a delegation to participate in the competition and trained a large team of athletes in the country, but the new Secretary-General returned to the confrontational path of the former Secretary-General and called the brakes on the competition.
Therefore, before the opening of the Los Angeles Olympics, the President met with the three main creators of "Breakdance" at the White House: director Ronald, black star "Boogallo Shrimp" Michael Chambers, and disabled Latino "Hand Man" Eddie Rodriguez who has difficulty in leg.
In order to counter the frequent accusations of the Soviet Union's Ministry of Truth against America, the President is eager to show the unity of all races and vulnerable groups in America.
Another reason for meeting them is that the President urgently needs to promote his bill to limit the minimum drinking age in each state in Congress.
As a re-election year, he urgently needs to make a breakthrough in the field of legislation that the public likes to see. The main voting group, middle-aged people, hate children driving after drinking. So the President hopes that Congress can pass a federal bill to limit the minimum drinking age.
America is a federal country. Whether to set a minimum drinking age is a matter of state law, and the federal government has no right to interfere.
But this did not bother the president's staff team. They proposed a bill that the federal government would gradually reduce or even cancel the education and medical subsidies to states that did not pass the minimum drinking age law of 21 until the state legislation was passed.
This bill was highly supported by the parent voter group, but it was also counterattacked by interest groups, inciting young people who were 18 years old and had the right to vote but could not drink after the bill was passed to oppose it.
The president urgently needed stars who had high support among young people to stand up for him and win the support of those young people. However, it is difficult to gain the favor of a person by depriving him of the right to drink, so the president's campaign team began to promote opposition to drunk driving.
So this time, in addition to expressing their support for them, the president also invited the three of them to participate in the propaganda against drunk driving.
The Israeli Minahan, who was not invited, was very sorry. He wanted to shake hands with the president in the White House, which would be a hard currency that would be very useful in the world film market in the future.
It was Weintraub, who had nothing to do with "breakdancing", who took the initiative to invite the three to take his private plane to Washington, DC.
"Hello, Ms. Morgan," Ronald said while drinking coffee on the business jet, greeting Weintraub's wife, Jane Morgan. This time she will also go to the White House to meet her old friend, the wife of the Deputy Commander, Barbara.
"Is this your first time to the White House?" Jane Morgan asked the three young creators.
"Yeah, I didn't expect to have the opportunity." Buffalo Shrimp Michael Chambers said with emotion, touching the leather chair. The "hand man" on the side also showed an excited look.
"You are being received in the Foreign Affairs Reception Hall, which is the only way to enter the White House from the South Lawn..." Jane Morgan explained to them that it is a great banquet hall, where foreign ambassadors come to America and meet the President to submit their credentials.
...
Ronald and two actors were waiting for the arrival of the President in the Foreign Affairs Reception Hall. Michael Chambers was wearing a suit, while Eddie Rodriguez was still leaning on two crutches.
Sitting opposite them was the star who came to the meeting today, the most popular music master in America, Michael Jackson.
J wore a navy blue dress today, a yellow ribbon with tassels, preppy style white socks and black boat shoes on his feet.
Ronald smiled at him, and J smiled back. Today he had more schedule than Ronald and the other two. After being received by the President and the First Lady, the star had to go out to the South Lawn with the President and his wife to be interviewed by reporters on the scene.
Sitting next to J was a short, fat man who weighed more than 200 pounds. He took out a big cigar to smoke, but was stopped by the staff.
"Who is this?" The fat man was J's new manager, Frank Dilio. He was responsible for arranging all of Jackson's daily affairs.
"Ronald, that's the director I wanted to film my video, but Quincy stopped him."
"Oh," Dilio put the cigar in his pocket, "If you want him to come, then he should come."
"The version of V he shot for Cyndi Lauper was great and I liked his style, but Quincy said he wasn't a big name enough and was looking for John Landis."
"You are already a superstar, J. It is you who will be interviewed by the media together with the commander-in-chief at the gate of the White House later, not him. If you ask me, no matter who the hell you are, who you like to cooperate with, that's the one. the most important."
"The leader of the United States of America."
Following the concierge's announcement, Ronald took his hand and helped the "Hand Man" up. Opposite J and the manager also stood up.
"Gentlemen, I have just finished some business with my staff. Nancy and I welcome you to the White House."
Everyone applauded in unison.
This actor started out as a leader. His rich expressions and humorous language, especially his deep and powerful voice, make people feel close to him at first sight.
"You are all a symbol of America's success. In this... land, everyone can succeed regardless of their ethnicity, skin color, or education level..." The commander shook hands with Ronald and others one by one. The photographer next to me kept pressing the shutter.
When shaking hands with "Hand Man" Eddie, he deliberately used his other hand to support the other person.
Then came J. He chatted with Jackson for a while and seemed to be very familiar with him.
"It reminds me of a joke about the alliance, where a Polish dog and a Russian dog come together to see their American cousin.
America Gouzi told them that here, everyone will have meat to eat. As long as you keep shouting, someone will throw a piece of meat to you.
After hearing this, the Polish dog asked his American cousin, what is meat?
The Russian dog also asked, what is barking? "
Everyone laughed, this was the commander-in-chief mocking the alliance.
Ronald found it very interesting. The commander's acting skills were obviously very good. When he played the realistic role of the commander, he very much met the expectations of the American people.
The three Ronalds each held a metal certificate inlaid with a wooden frame issued by the commander-in-chief and took a group photo with the commander-in-chief and his wife. This is in recognition of their outstanding contributions in promoting the great unity of the people of all races in America and in the campaign against drunken driving among teenagers.
The commander-in-chief wore a dark suit and brown leather shoes, and the first lady Nancy wore a white suit with gold single-breasted buttons.
Ronald, who was also dressed in formal attire, took another group photo with Da Xia and Hand Man between the first couple.
Then the commander shook hands with them and said goodbye. Nancy accompanied him and walked out of the South Lawn with J, where they were interviewed by the media.
"Oh, an, I actually shook hands and took a photo with the commander-in-chief of America." After Prawn Chambers was patted on the shoulder by the commander-in-chief, all the bones in his body became tense.
On the other hand, the "Hand Man" has remained calm and not particularly excited.
The three of them were waiting in the foreign affairs reception hall for the staff to lead them out.
"Ronald."
Weintraub's voice came, "Come here, the deputy commander's wife wants to see you."
Ronald walked to the side hall, where Weintraub's wife Jane Morgan was chatting with a silver-haired woman.
"Is this what you and Jerry are like? That... sharing your husband with you so openly?" The person talking to Jane Morgan was Barbara, the wife of Deputy Commander George.
"I don't want to give up my husband to that bitch, Barbara. Why didn't you go with George?"
"Nancy doesn't want me to attend such an occasion and compete with her for attention..." Barbara said openly.
"Ah, this is the Ronald you were talking about." Barbara saw Ronald and Weintraub coming in together.
"Hello, Ms. Barbara." When Ronald saw this person, he felt that she was very approachable. She was different from the Hollywood style of First Lady Nancy. She had undyed silver hair and a wrinkled coat. Just like the grandma next door.
"I want to ask you to ask. I heard from Jane that you are a wizard in the film industry." Barbara stepped forward and held Ronald's hand. "I have a son who wants to invest in movies. I don't Do you know if there is any chance of success in this business? I don’t want him to do it just to hang out with those female celebrities.”
Ronald was surprised by Barbara's frankness, thought for a while and said, "If you choose the right project, it is still a good investment career. However, in this industry, the risk of box office is indeed relatively high. If your family is interested in investing If so, I suggest talking to the seven major studios in Hollywood. The movies they produce are generally guaranteed."
Barbara's eyes sparkled, and she appreciated that Ronald answered her questions directly without seeking investment in his own movie.
"Thank you, Ronald, I appreciate your honesty. As people get older, it is easy to plan everything for their children."
"In my opinion, you are not old yet. I am also planning to ask you to be the heroine of the movie." Ronald smiled.
"Hahahaha, you are such a good young man. If there are any questions, I want my son to come to you and ask for advice about the film industry."
"Of course, you can find me through Jerry." Ronald responded with a hat, and then said goodbye to them.
"How is it? A very mature young man," Jane Morgan said to Barbara. "In fact, the reason why I tolerate Susan is because what he said to me made me think about it. I just She is Jerry’s legal wife, why should a woman of unknown origin take away my things?”
"Legal wife," Barbara repeated.
Jane Morgan knew that George Sr. had the same problem as Jerry, so she immediately changed the subject, "Do you still support George Jr.'s idea?"
"George Jr. always makes me worry. He wants to enter Hollywood again recently. It seems that the next generation of our family will have to rely on Jeb. George Jr. lacks wisdom and hard work. I hope he can stay away from politics in the future and live a happy life."
Barbara was born into a prominent family. What she cared about most in her life was the inheritance of the family. Although George Jr. did a bad job in the oil company, she still tried her best to pave the way for what he wanted to do. "
"Aunt, did you see the news that I went to the White House?" Ronald, who returned to the hotel, excitedly called Aunt Karen to report his good news.
"Yes, I saw it. I'm proud of you, Ronnie." After the President and J were interviewed by reporters on the South Lawn and jointly promoted the bill to lower the federal minimum drinking age, there was also a short news report that Ronald, as the director of "Breakdance", was commended by the President.
