Exploiting Hollywood 1980

“Huahuahua…”

Helen Slater wore the traditional Chinese dress, cheongsam, and looked very cute and noble. Ronald stood beside her, and the two of them applauded with all the audience.

The state guest on the stage, under the guidance of Mickey and Minnie, left his Chinese name in an autograph book.

Ronald, who fled back to Los Angeles from Camp David in a panic, was still concerned about the appearance of the President and his wife, and whether they hated the movie "Back to the Future".

Fortunately, they only appeared in the news to welcome the state guest, and Nancy also appeared in cheongsam with her old friend Elizabeth Taylor.

Ronald calculated the date, which was exactly the day before they set off for Camp David. It seems that the President and his wife have completely relaxed their minds and bodies on vacation, and they did not tease his divorce scandal with the younger generations in Hollywood.

The current president is the first president in history to divorce and remarry. To the pious and conservative people in the small town, who make up the majority of the population, he is as unorthodox as Kennedy, who was a Catholic. Fortunately, the charm of him and his wife Nancy made people forget his previous experience.

Eisner specially invited Ronald and Helen Slater to attend the public welcome event at Disneyland. Some free publicity for Touchstone's first work "The Evil Husband".

After the reporter took pictures, Ronald and Helen stayed aside. The state guest was treated with great courtesy. Ronald, who had learned his lesson, did not join in the fun.

"Ronald, this is a major event in the relationship between the two countries. Young directors of your generation have the opportunity to go there to shoot movies, or introduce Hollywood movies to be screened there."

Chatting with Ronald next to him was Jack Valenti, the president of the American Film Association, who had met Ronald once in the United States.

He seized the opportunity and tried to get the other party to approve the Hollywood crew to shoot there. If a Westerner shoots a movie with the background there, it will definitely be a sensation.

"Maybe." Ronald smiled, thinking that Jack Valenti was thinking too far ahead.

In the distance were some veteran movie stars, who seized the opportunity to chat quietly with old friends. Ronald recognized that the person wearing the cheongsam was Elizabeth Taylor, who was no longer young and a little fat. Next to her was another veteran movie star, Doris Day.

"What did Nancy say when you went to the White House this time?" Doris Day asked Taylor.

"Nancy is busy reading astrology for her husband every day. She only relies on the will of the President. I'm afraid he won't come out to admit this disease directly."

"Alas, poor Rock Hudson can only go to the country for treatment. He and the President were also good friends when they were young." Doris Day sighed. Their mutual friend, the famous actor Rock Hudson, was tortured miserably by the new disease.

When he was invited to the talk show of Doris Day and friends last week, he was too weak to answer any questions, so he had to follow him to take some pictures of the scenery in the ranch.

The two female stars walked towards Jack Valenti.

"You are Ronald, I know you, I heard Debbie mention you." Taylor, the former beauty, was bold and unrestrained, and she came up and kissed Ronald on the cheek.

"Debbie, I thought you..." Ronald was very surprised, because Taylor had robbed Debbie Reynolds' husband.

"We have reconciled, there is no need to give up a good friend for a scumbag man. Besides, I am the godmother of Kelly Fisher."

"Okay," Ronald thought that maybe sisters in Hollywood are more reliable than couples.

"Are you really not going there with me?" After Jack Valenti greeted the two stars, he came to Ronald again and persuaded him to go to the other side of the ocean to open up virgin land.

"It's hard to get a visa now," Ronald applied once since the travel was liberalized, but only 30% of applicants can be approved each year, unless Jack Valenti counted him as a staff member of the Film Association and got a special work visa.

"That's right." Jack Valenti was impressed by the marketing momentum Ronald created by handing out flyers on the streets in the United States last time. The timing may not be ripe this time.

...

"Aren't you going to the wedding of Madonna and Sean Penn with me? Many Hollywood and rock stars will go. I have an invitation."

Ronald took out two pink invitations at home and waved them in front of Helen.

"Honey, I'm going to Santa Monica to meet up with the crew for a script reading." Helen paid more attention to her career. She kissed Ronald on the mouth, put on her shoes, and hurried out.

"Little Bud, see Helen off."

Ronald turned over and fell asleep.

"Ronald, Ronald, it's time to go to the wedding."

Ronald slept soundly until noon. Little Bud patted his arm to wake him up.

"Ah..."

Ronald stood up, took a slow shower, put on a suit, and was about to go out with a wedding gift.

Today is the big day for Sean Penn and Madonna. All the stars in Los Angeles who were friends with them received invitations. Ronald was both the groom's sponsor and the bride's friend, so he had to attend.

"Where is the address?"

Ronald took the address from Bud, which was a mansion on a cliff on the beach in Malibu.

"Whose house is this?"

Little Bud shrugged, he was even less sure. The invitation originally stated a gathering place, and when guests arrived there, they would be transferred by bus to prevent paparazzi from taking secret photos. However, more and more people are coming to congratulate me. It is impossible for many big-name celebrities to be treated like this, so the address was just sent yesterday.

"Tom." At the door of the mansion, Ronald saw Tom Cruise, who had also come to attend the wedding of his friend Sean Penn. He deliberately came back to attend the wedding of his friend Sean Penn while Martin Scorsese's crew paused rehearsals. Wedding.

The two of them showed their invitation letters at the security desk before being let in.

"Whose house is this?" Ronald asked Tom.

"Kurt Unger is a relative of Sean's family and a British producer. Tom Cruise wore a Hawaiian floral shirt and a blue suit today.

"Hi, David." Ronald walked in and found another acquaintance, talk show host David Letterman. He is a guest on the bride's side.

"Xue'er?" The three of them chatted at the door for a while, and then found a beautiful woman with long purple hair coming in.

Ronald blurted out in disbelief, isn't this singer and movie star Val Kilmer's ex-girlfriend Cher? Why did you dye your hair purple?

"It seems that my hair has achieved the effect." Cher and Ronald hugged, "This handsome guy is..."

"Isn't it Tom Cruise?" Ronald hugged his good brother's shoulder.

"Of course I know, hello, Tom." Cher smiled, came up to hug Cruise, and then chatted with Letterman.

"What's wrong with you? Did you see your idol?" Ronald found that Cruise was a little abnormal, looking at Cher like a fan looking at an idol. That's right, when Cher debuted singing the famous song "I Got You Babe", Cruise was just a star-struck kid.

"Oh, bad luck." Xue'er saw another guest coming in at the door, and immediately turned around and walked to the other side of the grass.

It turned out to be David Geffen, the female guest from Madonna’s side of the music industry, the producer and owner of the record company.

Maybe they had some old grudges, Ronald didn't know. But this was a good opportunity for good brother Tom Cruise. Ronald quickly poked Tom twice and nuzzled in Cher's direction.

Tom Cruise was rarely shy, but still caught up.

"Don't you want an autograph? What's more?" Ronald was disapproving of the way he saw his childhood idol.

There was another commotion at the door, and many gossip reporters rushed up to surround the several young guests who came.

"Emilio, what do you want to say to the media now?"

"I'm here to attend my friend's wedding, so don't pester me."

It turned out to be the "Kid Gang" who were being chased and beaten by the media. Behind Emilio were Rob Lowe and Judd Nelson.

These people's eyes were dull and their hair was messy. It was obvious that they had been verbally criticized by the media for many days and had lost the energy to fight with reporters anymore.

Ronald sneered. He had no interest in beating up drowned dogs and entered the flower gate on the lawn where the wedding was held.

As the sun set, Sean Penn walked out of the mansion with his bride Madonna on his arm. Madonna wore an ivory wedding dress, and her white veil fluttered in the sea breeze. It's not as bold as when I sang "Like A Virg" at all, but a bit shy of a bride.

The music played at the scene was Madonna's first number one single "Crazy About You". The lyrics and style of the song also had the flavor of a little woman in love, which was completely different from her other songs.

"off!"

However, she quickly returned to "normal", raised her middle finger, cursed loudly at the seven or eight helicopters floating in the sky, and raised her middle finger.

The helicopters hired by the gossip media formed a neat attack formation like those in "Apocalypse Now" and began to swoop towards the mansion where the wedding was held, making it easier for photographers to take pictures. The huge propeller noise made the priest's oath inaudible.

"Fbsp;off!" Madonna was full of heroism, shouting at the helicopter and gesturing for them to go to the beach.

The helicopter captured the scene it wanted to take, turned around and flew away. The photographer above was very excited. He found that the beach next to the mansion had also been written with the words "off!" written on it by the newlyweds.

"The groom can kiss the bride." The pastor finally finished the ceremony, and the newlyweds couldn't wait to kiss each other.

They didn't go out and ran directly to the mansion. This was where they spent their honeymoon.

"Don't forget to throw the bouquet!" the woman's guests reminded the bride. The newlyweds who had already arrived on the second floor were facing

Madonna looked around and threw a big flower ball into Cher's arms.

"Forehead……"

Ronald also shook his head. It turns out that there are many kinds of bad things in the rock circle. Xueer is a divorced woman who has dated several young male celebrities in succession and has no plans to get married.

"What a lucky day." Xue'er was not young, but she handled it well. She put the bouquet on the table with a smile.
