Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Two beauties, Cindy Crawford and Kristy Turlington, were sleeping soundly on a "queen" size bed covered with white high-thread count cotton sheets. The quilt is also made of high-thread-count cotton mixed with some linen fibers. It is not rough when covering the skin, but is also very warm, making people feel so comfortable that they don't want to wake up from a sweet dream.

High heels and skirts were scattered on the high-end carpet under the bed. White and red high heels are like the different temperaments of two beauties, one is fiery and the other is cold. Two people are sleeping on a specially customized extra-large bed. Even two people of standard model height can sleep sideways without feeling too short.

A knock on the door broke the silence.

"Here it comes!" Durrington opened the door.

Crawford opened the curtains in the room. The warm early spring sunshine in Los Angeles shone through the remaining white gauze inner curtains in the room on the penthouse floor of the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel.

"Ladies, I want a breakfast fit for a model." Ronald pushed the trolley with food from the door into the bedroom.

"Well, lemonade, vegetables, nuts, pasta, and two apples." Crawford got up first, walked to the front of the dining car generously, put on his slippers, leaned on the chair and poured a glass of lemon. The water was drunk first.

"Cindy, Kristy, shoes..." Ronald nodded and greeted them, reminding Durrington, who was rushing to open the door, not to forget to put on his slippers. Durrington sat down and put on his slippers with his hands, walked to the dining car, sat on the chair that Ronald pulled out, and started drinking water as well.

Crawford shook his head violently, throwing his wavy hair behind him, then picked up the apple and gnawed it. Durrington took a rubber band from his hand and gently tied his hair into a ponytail. She took some lettuce and broccoli with her fork, tossed them with a little olive oil, and ate them.

"You really know the recipes of our models." Dullington said with a smile. Every day, they as models eat these tasteless healthy foods. What she has learned is to try to prepare these boring foods carefully and make them happy to eat. a little.

"Hey, do you have a hair-style croissant there?" Crawford couldn't bear the smell, so he came over and opened Ronald's dinner plate with one hand.

"Don't move, can't you models not eat it?" Ronald sealed Cindy's little hand, but Crawford changed directions and couldn't grab it.

"We consumed enough calories last night, so we can indulge a little today." Cindy Crawford finally put her other hand on Ronald's arm, grabbed a piece of bread and took a bite. The taste of happiness spread from her tongue, making her moan in comfort.

Then Crawford stuck out his tongue and licked it on his lips. Together with the beauty mark, it had a coquettish beauty.

"I also have Italian sausage, English baked beans, and bacon." Ronald picked up the butter and spread it on the bread, then handed it to Crawford's mouth and ate the one he took a bite of.

Even Durrington couldn't stand it now. She pushed aside the boring olive oil and cabbage, sat down next to Ronald, and asked him to put one into her mouth.

After taking a bite, Dullington pursed her lips. She had always been a little inferior to her little buck teeth, but she didn't know that she was most attractive every time she pursed her lips.

Ronald couldn't help but kiss her, "Didn't your model publish the recipe in a fashion magazine? Why are you eating these high-calorie foods?"

"That's all a lie. We have so much work pressure. If we don't indulge ourselves every week, how can we have the energy to go to catwalks and take photos. Besides, as long as we exercise and consume the corresponding calories, it doesn't matter if we eat more."

"Ring, ring, ring...", the phone rang, and Ronald had to regretfully say goodbye to the two beauties for a while, and walked over to answer the phone. I only told my agent Richard the room number. They wouldn't bother me if it wasn't something important.

"I didn't expect him to be such a gentlemanly man," Durrington asked as he climbed up Crawford's slender waist and rubbed it.

"Yeah, but he's... very strong." Crawford whispered something into Durrington's ear, picked up the nut and put it in his mouth.

"Hahaha..." Dullington's hand pinched his partner's waist.

"He is also very flexible and introduced me to do double yoga." Durrington let out a deep hum.

"What, do you want to be his lover?" Crawford wiped away the sweat-stuck hair on his chest with his palms, and pinched Durrington's cheeks with charming dimples with a smile.

"Why not? Don't you want to? Last night you said that a handsome guy like Ronald is a rare treat."

"A good meal is good, but we can't indulge too much." The two models had just started their careers and got a good opportunity. If you just become Ronald's regular partner, you will miss a lot of opportunities.

"Besides, Ronald is also a famous playboy in Hollywood, although he is also famous for his generous returns. You don't think he will marry you, do you?" Crawford pinched Durrington's buttocks again.

"Don't you want to? He's handsome, and he's a famous director, but he doesn't have as much money as the old money."

"Ah...it turns out you are a money addict."

"Ah...don't you also like his figure?"

The two beauties began to fight with each other.

"Who are you with?" On the other end of the phone that Ronald answered was a young woman, who seemed to have heard the laughter and asked.

"There's no one you don't know. I'm talking about fashion with the designers and models from Armani and Saint Laurent. Nowadays, Hollywood's modern dramas need some fashion-leading clothes."

Ronald looked at the two beauties and made a shushing gesture to tell them not to make too much noise. The two models are indeed top-notch clothes racks, and they look very charming in pajamas, which is very "fashionable".

"Hmph, it's up to you. I'll finish all the credits soon and can graduate. Why don't you help your only cousin find some opportunities?"

"Of course, Donna. Tell me, do you want to work in Hollywood or in the TV industry? I know both of them." Ronald hasn't called Donna for a long time. Today, his cousin has contacted his agent. There must be something big going on.

Sure enough, it was time to choose a career. Donna also began to mobilize all her social connections as much as possible. In fact, the only one who could take care of things was her cousin.

"Well, I can do an internship in Hollywood. My interest is still in mathematics-related fields. It is difficult to find a job in basic physics now, so I plan to look for opportunities on Wall Street."

"Does Wall Street also need physics?" Ronald didn't understand, but it didn't matter. "Then you've found the right person. I also know one or two bankers like this on Wall Street."

Ronald listened to Donna and wanted to join Wall Street. Whether he talked to George Jr. and the founder of the Screen Fund, or directly approached Bannon and asked him to recommend a position, he could do it.

"Thank you, Ronnie. In fact, I am also preparing a resume and letters of recommendation. It does not necessarily have to be through connections. Maybe I will have other interview opportunities."

"Of course, you are the best. But since I know some people in the industry, it would be good for you to chat with them and learn more about the industry insiders." Ronald knew that Donna's GPA was very good, but America was In this way, it is much easier to get along with someone who knows you than relying on skills alone.

"Hmm..." Donna hummed, as if she still had something to say.

"Have you talked to Diane lately?"

"No, she is on the set of filming 'The Big Town' with her old partner Matt Dillon. The producers are Paul Newman, the former popular actor, and action movie star Steve Mai Martin Ransohoff of Quinn.

They were filming in Chicago, and I was busy editing my movie in the previous period and didn't go to visit them. "

"She just returned to Los Angeles, and the filming of her new movie didn't seem to be going very well. She said she couldn't ask you to solve everything..."

"Huh?" Ronald was surprised. When did Diane and him become so different?

"I'll call her." Ronald hung up the phone, a little lost in thought.

The two stunning beauties over there began teasing each other again. Cindy Crawford gently touched Durrington's lips, seeming to feel Ronald's eyes looking over.

"Knight on the white horse, won't you join the two princesses?"

Crawford sent an invitation to Ronald with a wink.

"Ladies," Ronald walked over and the two kissed goodbye.

"I have something to leave first. You can stay here as long as you want. If you want to indulge in a delicious feast, it will be charged to my account. Then use this credit card to pay." Ronald He took out a Wells Fargo credit card and handed it over.

"When the time comes, give your card to the lobby manager and just say my name."

"Okay, I will." Dullington took the card and stared at Ronald, thinking that it was indeed a one-time feast.

Cindy Crawford snatched the card and played with it. It had Ronald's signature on it.

"If you have nothing else, Macy's is not far away. You can go and enjoy shopping and buy whatever you want. I have a contract with Giorgio (Armani), and you can enjoy discounts when you go. In other places, just swipe your card according to the price. ”

"Oh yeah..." The two of them kissed Ronald on both cheeks.

…

"Are you back from filming in Chicago?"

Sitting in the limo, Ronald called Diane in the back seat.

"Ah... yes, I just finished shooting the scene. The director and producer said that there are still some scenes that need to be reshot... I may have to go to Columbia's studio in Los Angeles to work for a few days, so I didn't call you."

"Really? I thought you would find me as soon as you came back." Ronald asked.

"I'm not... Hi, you know, filming is very hard, and I fell asleep for a few days after I came back." Diane replied on the phone, "I watched the Oscar broadcast, and several winners were thanking you. "

"Yeah, the one that impressed me the most was the time I went there with you." Ronald put the phone on his shoulder, "When are you free?"

"We have to reshoot tomorrow. Producer Martin Ransohoff is urging us."

"That's just right. Come see me today. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

"That's it. Actually, I'm going into the studio tomorrow morning. If you have anything to do, you can just wait until I get back to catch up and see you again."

"Stop being lazy at home. When you look out the window, what do you see? The scenery in Los Angeles is very beautiful today."

"Ah, really?" Diane moved closer to the window, "It's really good, the sun is very good, and there are two children playing on the mission. It's really a good weather..."

"Hey", Diane suddenly saw a luxury car parked at the corner. The person in the car got out of the back seat, wearing a slightly wrinkled suit, and holding a car phone receiver in his hand. He was not in high spirits. Who is Ronald?

"Brother Ronnie!"

Diane ran out of the room, hugged Ronald, and jumped up.

"Be careful, be careful." Ronald hugged her and spun her around a few times.

"I thought your career was taking off now and you were too busy to care about me."

Diane buried her head in Ronald's arms and refused to leave.

"I will never give up on you," Ronald comforted Diane, holding her head. The two entered her small apartment.

Diane had seen the live broadcast of Ronald and McGillis attending the Oscars party before, and she didn't want to contact Ronald. It happened that Donna called to talk about her career choice. When it came to work and Ronald, she said she could solve any problems by herself.

But today, Ronald suddenly appeared at her door, which still made Diane very happy.

He let Ronald into the apartment and made him a cup of coffee, "I just came back and there's nothing here. Only instant."

"That's good." Ronald took a sip.

"Donna said you had a little trouble? How did you solve it? If you want my help, just ask. We all came here from that little leg warmer store in Manhattan..."

Ronald stared into Diane's eyes and remembered many past events.

"Actually, it's nothing, just...don't be angry..."

Diane carefully said hello first.

"That's right, I might shoot two more nude scenes. For the sake of the movie..."

Ronald frowned, his neck pulled back involuntarily, and his facial features shrank into a ball, as if he had seen something disgusting.

Diane burst into laughter looking at Ronald's appearance.

"Actually, it's okay. It's just a stripper dance scene. There is no full-frontal nudity scene. I will use breast tape. My agent helped me sign the contract." Diane quickly explained the details.

It turns out that in the movie "The Big Town", Matt Dillon plays a gambling master who works as a gang in the casino to make a living by cheating people.

He fell in love with two women, one was a dancer in a Las Vegas club played by Diane, and the other was a single mother with a child. The final ending is that the male protagonist played by Ti Lung gives up his career as a conman and returns to a small town with his single mother to live a simple life.

The movie brings together many big-name figures from the New Hollywood movement, such as Bruce Dern, the father of Diane's best friend Laura Dern. Actor Tommy Lee Jones, who played "Miner's Daughter", also plays a supporting role for Matt Dillon in this movie.

It seems that Martin Ransohoff has a very clear intention to praise Dillon. Casting on his old partner Diane, various acting supporting roles are all designed to set off Ti Lung.

However, the filming of this movie was very unsatisfactory. The director at the beginning of filming was Ben Bolt, who turned out to be a director who made TV series on the TV station.

As a result, the films he shot were full of TV flavor, with either close-ups talking to the camera, or cutting back and forth between close-up half-length shots of several characters.

Producer Martin Ransohoff had no choice but to fire him halfway through filming. He was replaced by Harold Becker, a more experienced film director.

However, the actors' schedules are limited, and it is impossible to reshoot the previous scenes. When Harold Becker saw the sample film, he said that some scenes that the audience would like to see must be added, otherwise the film will not be able to be edited no matter how much the audience likes to see it.

"Why do you need to reshoot?" Ronald felt even worse. "Isn't there another heroine? What's the name of the one who plays the single mother..."

"Suzy Amis, she can't do it. She's not as famous as me." Diane puffed out her chest.

…

"Why don't you ask Suzy Amis to shoot a nude scene? eon, Ronald, you are also an expert, why would you ask such a question.

I want the audience to see the ice cream they love to see, and Diane is the star, Matt Dillon's old partner, and the audience will say there's a striptease scene with Diane in this movie.

Suzy? Which one is Suzy? I asked her to take the photo, and no one would tell their friends that they saw Suzy taking off her clothes. "

Ronald found Martin Ransohoff, the producer of "The Hustler," and discussed Diane's role with him, hoping that he would not allow Diane to reshoot such a vulgar nude scene.

Although I want to rely on Diane's fame and increase the reputation of the movie, it is the right idea. But judging from some of the samples Ronald saw, the film was irredeemably bad.

It's boring to waste Diane's little fame and stand up for such a bad movie.

Moreover, Diane's image will also be damaged. After performing a nude scene, the audience will expect her to be naked in the future. Good scripts fade away.

"What's wrong? It's a bad movie anyway. It doesn't matter who takes off the movie." Ronald was dissatisfied with the producer's attempt to trick Diane into reshooting, and expressed his feelings straightforwardly.

"How can it be a bad movie? This is a remake of Paul Newman in the 1980s. Newman's movie star, The True Money, is the sequel to his debut in the early 1960s, The Hustle. I produced that movie.

I know what the audience likes to see. Handsome guy, challenging gambling skills, sexy beauties..."

"You're out of date. No one watches this boring gambling game anymore. Young people are playing video games, please! Grandpa!"

Ronald criticized mercilessly. No matter what age it is, filming this kind of slow gambling scene is still a very boring game of crab and dice. Only young people in small towns 20 years ago would play this kind of dice rolling game if they really had no games to play.

"You... this is a drama, not a popcorn movie for you. Diane's character is a stripper, so it makes sense for her to strip. How can you let Susie, a single mother and a decent woman, act in a strip scene?"

Martin Ransohoff has been away from Hollywood for a long time, and now he is back and wants to make a comeback by doing things the same way. In fact, I didn’t dare to offend Ronald too much.

This guy is so protective of Diane, why didn't he say it earlier and get involved earlier, wouldn't it be more of a gimmick?

"Why can't it be filmed? She also wants to go to bed with Ti Lung's character. Just add one more scene and it's over. Anyway, Diane's contract does not include a nude scene, so I won't agree to it. Especially if you film a nude scene. So vulgar."

Ronald didn't want to say more, stood up and left.

"Hey, who are you? Can you decide on her behalf?" Martin Ransohoff shouted from behind. If Diane refuses to take it off, the movie will be even worse.

"Her father asked me to be her guardian..." Ronald shook off Bert's request. "I advise you not to waste your time and think about how to make up for the sex scene between Suzy and Matt. It was filmed If it’s more exciting, maybe the box office can be saved.”

"Damn it, it looks like we are really going to film Suzy's sex scene." Martin Ransohoff cursed behind Ronald.

"You asked the producer not to reshoot my scene?" Diane received the director's notice and immediately called Ronald. She had mixed feelings in her heart. After all, Ronnie was still a little jealous of herself. But if I don’t reshoot, I won’t be able to be the heroine of a blockbuster movie.

"I don't object to your nude scene, but it can't be so vulgar. It needs to be more advanced. If you do this kind of scene, it will hurt your career as an actor." Ronald began to teach him earnestly.

"Hi, I don't know how many more acting careers I have left." Diane chuckled on the other end of the phone.

"I will help you when I finish this release." Ronald is currently busy with his company's "Dirty Dancing" work, and he is also unable to do anything else. "How about you change the agent contract to CAA? My agent People are quite strong in this regard.”

"Not yet, my agent treats me well, let's wait until the contract expires." Diane thought for a while, her agent has been following her since Off-Broadway, which is very helpful to her acting skills.

"Okay, I have to go and get busy. If you need anything, remember to call me. Stop making your own decisions."

"Okay, I got it, Ronnie."
