Exploiting Hollywood 1980

After staying at the company for a few hours and finishing some daily emails, Ronald asked Bud to take him home.

After finishing the script, he still has to prepare a proposal for Disney later. His "Dirty Dancing", Ronald wants to recommend to Touchstone Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney, as the second film between the two parties.

We use the "evil husband" model to cooperate. Touchstone is responsible for more than half of the investment and the rest is responsible for distribution. Daydream came up with the script, the talent, and was responsible for the production. Ronald will serve as producer.

You have to summarize the selling points of the movie, the market it is targeted at, and the production style. After the project is approved, directors and actors must be selected according to this style.

Prepare the content you want to display, call Richard to pick it up, and find a specialized artist to make it into a display board.

Although he has a good relationship with Eisner, he is now making proposals to his subordinate Katzenberg, and he must do what he should do.

In the busy evening, after dinner, Richard sent several display boards for display. The two looked at it for a long time and found no spelling mistakes.

Ronald also took Richard to sit on top and gave him a simulated market analysis of "Dirty Dancing".

"This is a small-scale film aimed at the teenage female market, with a total production cost of less than 5 million..."

"I feel good. Do you want to say it again in front of Niceta?"

"We'll see what happens tomorrow, right? Isn't he busy now?"

"Okay, Rick and I will make an appointment tomorrow morning and come here together."

After seeing Richard off, Ronald yawned. He was a little tired after a busy day.

I took a hot shower and lay comfortably on the bed. I wonder if I will dream about a movie today?

…

"Dong dong dong dong, dong dong dong dong..."

The strong rhythmic drum beat started again.

"He walked up to me

Ask me if you want to dance together..."

On a completely black screen, the movie had just begun. First, there was a piece of old black music, sung by a black singer.

The songs are very nice.

The camera suddenly lit up, it was a girl's boudoir, with a bed and a dresser, and the camera was facing the door of the bedroom.

boom! A girl with wavy blond hair jumped out from behind the bedroom door.

She started shaking her head to the beat of the drum, dancing to the rhythm and the content of the lyrics.

"Isn't this Elizabeth Sue?"

Ronald thought this old song was very nice, and Su danced very wildly. It expresses the mood of a little girl waiting for her boyfriend to attend the most important date and confirm the relationship very well.

“When he walked me home that day, all the stars were shining brightly.”

Elizabeth Su jumped open the closet door and put on a black sleeveless top and a black and white plaid skirt.

"Every time I want him to know that we are more than just friends.

i don't know what i should do

So whisper: I love you

He also replied softly, I love you too

Then he kissed me"

Elizabeth Su changed her disco dance steps to ballet steps, hugged her boyfriend's photo, kissed her, and jumped on the bed.

"The feeling of him kissing me

I've never felt it

I also want to continue to be kissed by him like this.

Then he proposed to me

Always by his side. "

Elizabeth Su covered her head with the white curtain on the window sill as a bride's veil, and then clasped her hands together.

"I'm so happy,

Then he kissed me..."

"Well, this is a very powerful opening." Ronald thought to himself, grabbing the audience's attention at once, which is a very good director.

"If I play it for Diane, I don't know if she can do it well. Anyway, the dance scene is only the beginning, maybe it can be done with practice." Ronald thought to himself, Diane has not found a suitable role yet.

"No, Ronald. Don't give my role to anyone else..."

Elizabeth Su on the screen suddenly looked at Ronald, "This is my favorite character. If others can do to you, I can do it too. Please..."

Looking at Elizabeth Sue on the screen, who was still echoing the melody and rhythm of the song as she spoke, begging him not to change roles, Ronald felt indescribably weird and instinctively hid aside.

"Ah..." He yelled and rolled out of bed.

"Ronald, are you okay?"

Little Bud heard Ronald's screams and opened the door to take a look.

"I'm fine, I had a nightmare." Ronald whispered and got up.

"Are you really okay? You seem to be scared." Little Bud turned around to get the cup, went to the bathroom to get a glass of water, and put an effervescent vitamin C tablet in it.

Taking the water from Little Bud, Ronald drank it in one gulp. The frightened feeling subsided quite a bit.

"By the way, let me ask you a question, there is an old black song, what are the lyrics?" He walked up to me and asked me if I wanted to dance together... Then he kissed me, what is the name of this song?" Ronald I hummed the song in my dream and still remember the beginning and end.

"Then he kissed me (then

he

kissed

), sung by the Crystals. It's a very old song. "

"I'm fine, you go to sleep."

Ronald wrote down the title of the song and sent little Bud to bed.

Then he washed his face with a towel.

This is probably due to my subconscious mind. Indeed, at the beginning of the movie, Elizabeth Sue's performance fit the plot very well. Perhaps subconsciously, she didn't want to replace the leading actor with such an outstanding performance?

Ronald lay on the bed again.

"Don't think too much, just see if you can dream more about the plot."

Slowing his breathing, Ronald fell asleep again.

Sure enough, a familiar feeling returned to Ronald's body.

The movie seems to be coming to an end. Under the long shot, a handsome man and a girl with blond wavy hair are standing together. The two seem to be having a wedding.

Ronald recalled the content in the script. The nanny played by Elizabeth Shue finally kicked her boyfriend who let him go and dated other women. I found a handsome and kind-hearted college boyfriend.

The camera slowly zoomed in from a distance, and another nice song played.

"look into your eyes

i see a paradise

The world I found seemed too good to be true

Standing next to you..."

"Huh? This is a very obvious current pop rock style, not the black music of the 1950s and 1960s."

The camera zoomed into a close-up view, and the newlyweds turned their heads.

"Huh? Changed the heroine?"

Not Elizabeth Sue.

"Oh, no"

Ronald remembered that this plot seemed not to be the "Adventures of the Babysitter", but another script he had read today that was "excellent". A story about a puppet who transforms into an ancient princess and a modern "good-for-nothing" young man.

If you take a closer look, you can see that the male and female protagonists are all acquaintances. One is Kim Cattrall, the heroine of the just-released "Monsters in Chinatown."

The leading actor is Andrew McCarthy, the leading actor in Hughes' new film "Pretty in Pink."

At the wedding at the end, Andrew McCarthy stared with big eyes, not knowing what he wanted to express, or maybe he was just trying hard to show that he was handsome.

"This is a bit like Helen's previous acting style, where she only thinks about how handsome she is, how cool she is when speaking her lines, and how she poses for close-ups.

It's a pity that even the close-up is not done well. His eyes are wide open, and I don't know how handsome he is. "

Next to her, Kim Cattrall tried her best to pretend to be in love with Andrew McCarthy. The moment the camera moved away from her face, she quickly showed a disgusted expression.

"Pfft," Ronald laughed.

It seems that this movie was really badly shot, and the actors couldn't even do basic acting well.

The plot is childish and incoherent, and the plot of conspiracy and defeating the conspiracy has a childish flavor. Ronald also shook his head and sighed when he saw the male and female protagonists who seemed to dislike each other on the screen.

"It must be a bad movie."

"Eh...that's not right. If it's a bad movie, why can I still dream about it?"

"Can this crappy movie be a hit?"

"What is a bad movie? What is a bad movie? I have struggled for so long before I got a big role as a heroine. I am already twenty-eight years old this year, and the movie I just filmed, "Monsters in Chinatown," was also terrible. If I can’t star in another blockbuster movie, so I have to say goodbye to Hollywood.”

"What, you are twenty-eight?"

Ronald looked at Kim Carrotel. She had delicate skin, charming blond hair, no wrinkles on her face, and a very tall figure. It was impossible to tell that she was so old.

"Why do you want to ask about the age of the actress? Well, I am twenty-nine, how can I not compare with those little girls in their early twenties?"

Kim Carrotel deliberately puffed up her chest, then walked towards Ronald with cat steps, "Only an experienced and mature woman will know what you want, Director Ronald."

A heart-itching sound penetrated into Ronald's ears.

Looking at Kim Carrotel leaning against him, Ronald felt dizzy. This woman was indeed intoxicating.

"Are you really twenty-nine?"

Ronald couldn't believe it. He was still standing tall like this at the age of twenty-nine. "Okay, I'm thirty, are you satisfied?"

Kim Carrotel was furious and kicked Ronald in the body.

"Ah..." Ronald hid and rolled under the bed again.

"Ronnie, Ronnie, are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Little Bud was very worried when he heard that he fell under the bed for the second time tonight.

"It's okay, I'm okay, I had another dream, it was too realistic."

Ronald wiped his sweat.

"Shall we go to the hospital?"

"No, I'm fine. Don't tell others, I'm just a little tired. It's fine." Ronald pushed little Bud out. I have to install railings on the bed in the future. The frequency of dreaming about movies seems to be a bit high lately.
