Exploiting Hollywood 1980

   Chapter 470 Chapter 101 Rumors

   The National Enquirer is a tabloid. A tabloid not only refers to gossip-based content, but also has a smaller layout than the big newspapers that report serious news everywhere. It is convenient for readers to read on the subway and bus.

Agent Richard handed over this issue of the "National Enquirer", and the front page headlines put a photo of Ronald and Brooke Shields, two men and women over six feet tall, were arrested next to Blair's Arch Photographed side by side.

   Next to the group photo are the head photos of the two of them, with an arrow pointing to the two blurred heads in the group photo.

   "Brain beats face and family?" Below is the headline in yellow font on a red background. Then came the subtitle, "Famous R-rated director Ronald Lee, Brooke Shields' new love?" Ronald continued to read.

   "Does your teeth hurt when you eat cold, hot, sour and sweet foods? Simple ways to get rid of your troubles..."

"Oh, it's not about me and Brooke." Ronald looked away from the subtitle under the photo, which had nothing to do with him at all, and turned to the inside page of the newspaper. There was a page devoted to his love history with Brooke Shields. .

  The opening chapter first digs out the famous CK jeans advertisement by Ronald director Brooke Shields, and then lists the rumored boyfriends of Brooke Shields who are known as "the new look of the 1980s".

   In the "face" category are John Travolta, Matt Dillon, and teen idol Leif Garrett. Ronald didn't quite believe these rumors, especially Dillon, who knew he was tricked by Brooke's mother Terry into taking pictures for the media.

   Next is classified in the "family background" column, there is Prince Albert of the Principality of Monaco, the two once participated in the Monaco celebrity tennis tournament at the same time, and there are photos of riding the same yacht.

   "This guy has such a high hairline, how come Grace Kelly didn't inherit a bit of looks to him?" Ronald began to complain. There are very strong competitors in this column.

   Then there was the wealthy Egyptian businessman Dodi Fayyad, the grandson of King Ibn Saud's imperial physician of Saudi Arabia. Owns many properties such as Harrods in London. He once invested in the British film "Chariots of Fire", and was photographed meeting Brooke in Paris.

   "I thought it was a Saudi prince. I heard that there are many princes there, but they are just the prince's doctor."

   Finally, the darling of all American mothers, John F. Kennedy Jr., son of the former great commander, the little boy who saluted the coffin at his father's funeral. Now a celebrity in New York, a student at Brown University, she had persuaded Brooke to go to Brown University in Rhode Island.

Ronald's smile gradually solidified. This is different from the first two. The people of America have transferred their nostalgia for the assassinated commander to the son with the same name as his father. Everyone is waiting for him to grow up. See what he does. Thousands of young girls also longed to marry him and be his wife.

   Maybe Brooke Shields has such an idea.

   Then Ronald looked at himself, only a solitary head.

  Actress Michelle Pfeiffer, according to reliable sources in this newspaper, was once a couple with Ronald Lee, but Pfeiffer is married to another actor, Horton.

The up-and-coming actress is believed to, in addition to starring in "Grease 2," is the lead actress in the upcoming Brian de Palma's new film "Scarface," along with Al Pacino partner.

  Ronald is a little uncomfortable, isn't this form burying himself? Bo Ji's side is not dating the children of aristocratic families, or the stars of the movie and music circles. I have a Pfeiffer on my side, and then I hastily introduced myself as an R-rated film director, and also filmed the "notorious" CK jeans commercial, which made Brooke into controversy.

   "How did they know that Pfeiffer and I were once a couple?" Ronald asked, he was not a high-profile celebrity like Brooke, and normally no one would dig up his love history.

   "You were involved in a dispute with her in that vegetarian extremist group in New York at the time. You helped her apply for a court injunction, remember? That's the court's public information and can be found." Agent Nisita said.

   "I've contacted Pfeiffer's agent, Limato, and he said he'll fix it, but you may want to call Pfeiffer to say hello."

   "I know, wait until I'm done." Ronald sighed, after all, disturbing other people's peaceful married life.

   "Terry was interviewed by the media with her daughter in Princeton."

"I want my daughter to stay as innocent as possible. The longer she is, the better. She is Catholic. I believe Brooke will keep her vows and keep her innocence on the eve of the wedding." Terry, dressed in white, appeared on the TV The former set the tone for her daughter's scandal.

   "Ronald is a friend of Brooke. They have worked together in an advertisement for CK jeans. This time, they came to Princeton for the filming of the new movie 'Long Wei Kid'. It's not a couple date, or an old friend meeting."

Ronald touched his ears. Terry is a smart woman. She knows that Ronald and Brooke have a good impression of each other. If they categorically deny that they are not dating, her daughter may be unhappy, so mentioning Ronald's new film is also counted. Be good in disguise. "

   Brooke was wearing a black and white top and skirt, with a string of pearl necklaces around her neck. She explained to reporters that she asked them not to secretly take pictures of themselves, which would interfere with college classmates and their friends.

   "The next time you go out with a celebrity like Brooke, remember to let us know in advance so I can find a good PR for you." Nisita winked at Ronald.

  The time has come to the evening of the second day. The two agents, shocked by the overwhelming gossip news, came to the filming location to discuss with Ronald. Brooke's mother, Terry, handled this kind of thing very comfortably, and she contacted the media to clarify the rumors.

   It was getting dark and Ronald began to prepare for the night scene. Following yesterday's episode, Ali and Daniel were playing football on the beach and fell to the ground together. The group of four at the Cobra Gym, who was riding a motorcycle just above, saw that their ex-boyfriend Johnny was angry and rushed down to talk to Ali. .

  Ronald first took a few shots of motorcycle teenagers roaring. In the dark night, several motorcycle headlights were reflected in the camera from a distance, then the roaring engine sound, and finally the leather-clad boy riding a motorcycle.

  A red leather jacket worn by William Zebka is particularly conspicuous. His companion saw Ali on the beach below and motioned him to look over.

   "Hey, you guys are already in the past." The good-natured persuasion of his partner was actually fueling the fire in Johnny's eyes. He rushed down to talk to Ali about reconciliation.

   "Cut!" Ronald was very satisfied with the performance of these leading actors. The two-week rehearsal made everyone know how far the current plot has developed, and it takes a bit of effort to show the emotions they should have.

   Coupled with Ronald's sequential shooting, the actor's mentality changes according to the plot, and the transition is very good.

  Associate Producer Charles Okun stepped forward, "Ronald, I want to ask, why do you keep the motorcycle headlights on and the front lights off?"

   Ronald looked around and remembered that Susan Akins didn't come to the beach today. The associate producer, Charles Okun, took the opportunity to challenge his decision in front of the crowd.

   "I have no obligation to explain it to you." Ronald did not speak, but let the crew further prepare for the next fight scene.

   "Ronald, Susan is not here, I have the right and obligation to ask my own questions during the filming process." Charles Okun sells well, and he is still very personable in his nearly 60s. Speaking out, those crew members who didn't know the inside story were a little swayed by him.

   "Then let's watch the dailies with Mr. Weintraub. Now get on with the work."

   "Well, I just want to make the best movie, your script is good, but the movie is..."

   "Continue to arrange the next game" Ronald waved to let all the staff continue to work, interrupting Charles Okun's plan to continue questioning himself.

  Ali brought a tape recorder with two loudspeakers playing pop music.

   "Ali, I want to chat with you." Johnny pressed the stop button and said to Ali.

   Elizabeth Shue was still wearing the same sweater and blue hairpin as yesterday. This is the part of the editor who is in charge of the scenes, and the costumes and sets are the same for the scenes shot at different times.

   "I don't want to tell you, we're over." Ali pressed the play button again.

   "But I want to say it!" Johnny couldn't control his anger, and pressed the stop button again. The two exchanged words, and Johnny threw the tape recorder to the beach.

   "You broke my recorder!" Ali's voice became louder, and she pushed Johnny away.

  Daniel went to pick up the tape recorder.

   "Don't move, you idiot." Johnny took anger at Daniel, and when Daniel wanted to return the tape recorder to Ali, he pushed him to the ground.

  Daniel stood up and rushed over to express his dissatisfaction with him. He tripped over his leg with a sweep, and then when he stood up, he rolled over and kicked again, giving Daniel a powerful blow.

   This action is actually a Korean taekwondo technique, which has been integrated into K-pop karate - Tang Sate Do. Pat Johnson trained William Zebka for four weeks, and he's already done a pretty good job.

  Daniel got up from the beach again, sneaked up to Johnny, and slapped his nose. When Daniel was in New Jersey, he practiced himself for a while with karate books. Johnny was unprepared, and was embarrassed by him.

   "Cut!" Ronald was glad he stayed for two weeks to film all the action scenes of the two with a Sony camera and study it. This kind of sparring action, the two have cooperated countless times. When Ralph Mazio fought over, William Zebka had a dodge, otherwise his nose would really bloom.

   "Will this action be too intense, when it's time to rate..." Associate producer Charles Okun came up again to "give opinions", and said it loudly.

  Many staff members watched over, and they were a little hesitant about the owner of the title of producer with the highest status on the scene, blatantly challenging the authority of the director.

   Ronald looked around and understood a little. Yesterday Weintraub's tragicomedy was known only to a few people who went to the demo, but not to the general public. They saw that fellow associate producer Susan Atkins wasn't there today, and Charles Okun started to challenge it publicly.

   "But who gave him the courage?" Ronald wondered, wondering if Weintraub and Susan Atkins were all my strong backers?

   "Continue shooting first, if there is a problem, I will be responsible." Ronald chose to take full responsibility and instructed the crew to continue shooting.

  Charles Okun also seemed to have achieved his goal and stopped talking.

   Weintraub wasn’t there, and he didn’t watch the dailies after the shoot. Ronald and his agent, who had been waiting on set, went to Michelle Pfeiffer's agent, Ed Limato.

   "Ronnie, Ronnie, do you want to give an interview to confirm your history with Pfeiffer? Then by the way, you and Pfeiffer's new movie." Limato hugged Ronald with a smile.

"No, I still don't want to disturb Pfeiffer's married life. It's up to you to deny it." Ronald read the report today, and he was unnamedly angry with John F. Kennedy Jr., as well as the handling of Brooke's side. A little uncomfortable.

   If you take the opportunity to clarify the past with Pfeiffer, you can give a little publicity to the new film of the two. But Pfeiffer's husband was going to be as uncomfortable as he was.

   "What Confucius said, do not do to others what you do not want to do to yourself," Ronald said.

   "What?" Limato didn't understand.

   "I said what Confucius said, don't talk about other people's gossip."

   "Hahaha, well, you can call her and say it yourself." Limato didn't insist, and called Pfeiffer.

   "Hey, Michelle, it's me, Ronald. I'm sorry this got you involved." Ronald picked up the phone and said.

"Oh, Ronnie. It's okay, I've got a chance to appear." Michelle Pfeiffer's tender voice sounded in Ronald's ear, and she continued, "You really and Brooke...? "

   "No, we were just photographed walking together, and what her mother clarified was the truth." Ronald felt a little innocent and not really together.

   "Well, I thought you proposed to her, hahaha."

   "Is it so obvious?" Ronald thought to himself, did he really have this problem before? When I see a girl, I want to tie it up. It seems that among all the previous girlfriends, only ballet girlfriend Antonia also looks forward to marriage, maybe because she is also a Catholic?

   "When is your new movie coming out? I heard it's co-starring with Al Pacino."

   "I'm the heroine, but it's mostly a gangster movie, and I'll be a vase at most. The premiere is on December 1st, are you coming? I'll ask Limato to give you an invitation."

   "Uh... I'm still filming, next time I have a chance..."

   "So...that's it?" said Michelle Pfeiffer.

   "That's it, bye." Ronald hung up the phone.

Michelle Pfeiffer on the other end was nibbling on an apple in her own home. She sighed and hung up the phone.
