Exploiting Hollywood 1980

   Chapter 489 Chinese-speaking exploitative films

  In the afternoon, Ronald finally waited for Diane, who slept very late, at home, and the two drove out for a drive together.

  The car of the Honda Accord, after all, is not an original BMW, nor is it a good-looking Italian roadster, so the silk white hood carefully prepared by Diane is useless.

   Looking at Diane, who was a little disappointed, Ronald turned a corner and went to Fifth Avenue.

   "Ha, are you taking me shopping?" Diane happily got out of the car and looked at the pedestrians at the entrance of the Tiffany store. This is where Audrey Hepburn filmed the opening scene of "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

   "No, let's go over there." Ronald took Diane's hand, crossed the street, and walked along Fifth Avenue. The front is a very old building, the gray stone looks very elegant, and the windows facing the street are equipped with dark red canopies.

   "Cartier!" Diane was even happier, pulling Ronald to enter the door to see his beloved jewelry.

  "Mr. Ronald Lee", the waiter in suit, greeted Ronald and took him and Diane to the side counter, "This is what you ordered yesterday."

   Ronald smiled and nodded, everything that his agent Eddie helped arrange yesterday was really good.

  Diane had never enjoyed this kind of service for a dedicated person, and looked very reserved, "Well, thank you."

   As soon as the royal blue velvet box was opened, an 18K gold bracelet lay quietly inside. On closer inspection, this is actually a bracelet-shaped watch, the Panthère de Cartier cheetah.

  Dian picked it up gently, put it on his hand, and wrapped the slender watchband three times around his wrist, which looked very suitable for an evening dress for a party from a distance.

   "Perfect for you, Miss Lane," the waiter recognized the child star-turned-Hollywood actress.

   "Thank you", Diane put the bracelet watch reluctantly into the box and kissed Ronald on the cheek.

  The two went to the Dongying Restaurant in the East Village of Midtown and had a sushi meal.

   "Uh..." Diane hiccupped, "Hee hee hee."

   "It's okay, are you enough? Eastern Ying people will take this as your compliment to their food."

   "Okay", Diane still covered her mouth, she felt that burping is always not beautiful.

   "Did you sleep so late? Did you stay up late last night?"

   "I slept quite late, so I had a good night's sleep." Diane took a sip of hot barley tea and squeezed it.

   "I'd rather go to bed earlier."

   "Okay, Brother Ronnie!" Diane hit Ronald again. Why does Ronnie sound like his own father when he is long-winded.

   "I was shopping on Fifth Avenue today, and no fans recognized me." Diane was a little unhappy because she was afraid that her popularity was declining.

  The movie released at the end of October, her and Matt Dillon's "Betta Fish", did not make any waves. Now waiting for next year's "Rage Streets", and now Coppola's "Cotton Club".

   "Orion" Films. They continued to invest 15 million US dollars in Coppola. Their founders were the executive team who left from United Arts. United Arts is known for condoning artist directors and not interfering with shooting things. Coppola's successful history makes them willing to bet on him.

   "Maybe your current appearance is a little different from the original, so fans didn't recognize it."

   "Huh! You just dislike me for being fat." Diane turned her head in dissatisfaction.

   "I don't dislike it. I think the Cotton Club should not be blindly retro. Even if it is a period drama, it should also take into account the modern aesthetics."

  Ronald pushed Diane's bangs away with his hand, "Will your eyebrows return to normal in the future?"

   "Yes, it will take a while, don't worry, Brother Ronnie!"

  The two went to see a movie, Deborah Wenger, and Shirley MacLean played "Mother and Daughter Love".

   "Do you think Deborah Wenger played well?" Diane asked Ronald, who was hanging his clothes, when the two entered the room at the Hilton Hotel that Minahan helped book.

   "Ah, well done. I think he and McLean have a chance of being nominated for an Oscar."

   "Why, do you like her temperament?"

  "I like you like that" Ronald picked up Diane and walked to the bedroom.

   "Then you still dislike the look in my movies." Diane clamped Ronald's waist with both legs and slapped his shoulders with both hands.

   "I'm obsessed with your look on the Streets of Rage." Ronald began to kiss Diane slowly.

   "Okay, Brother Ronnie. I know you like to wear coquettish characters. Hmm..."

   Hearing Diane, who was lying on his shoulder, say this to his ear, Ronald suddenly felt flames bursting out of his chest.

   He took off his clothes as he walked in.

   Entered the dark bedroom, Ronald pressed Diane against the wall, and then kept fumbling for the light switch with the other hand.

   "Hold me tight and use your hands!" Diane was so ecstatic with the kiss that she pulled Ronald's hand over and pressed it against her hip.

   "Hmm..." Diane let out a coquettish groan.

   "Um..." Ronald felt his fingers sink in, "It's a little fat."

  The two were passionate for a while, and Ronald finally found the lamp switch out of breath.

   Diane was lying on the bed with a flushed face, so tired that she seemed to fall asleep.

   Ronald helped her pull up the quilt.

  Diane hugged Ronald, "Brother Ronnie, I screamed so loudly, the guests next to you all know that you are brave, eat..."

   Then she put her arms around Ronald's neck and fell asleep sweetly. After a while, there was a gentle breathing sound.

  Ronald rubbed Diane's ivory-like skin with his hands and felt a little sleepy, so he simply pulled the quilt over himself, and the two of them slept together.

   A burst of drowsiness struck. The amount of exercise today was obviously a bit heavy, and I worked hard for a long time with Diane in his arms.

   hugged each other, Diane's body temperature soon made Ronald fall asleep comfortably. He hasn't slept so sweetly in a long time.

   "Kelly, it's here, come quickly, it's a pity to miss it." A man's voice sounded.

   Ronald heard a faint sound.

  Is this a dream again?

   "Hmm", Ronald wanted to open his sleepy eyes, what he just heard was not English, but a long-lost Chinese.

   "Is that so? Do I have to wear a coat?" A female voice came out.

   A burst of rhythmic music sounded, and Ronald felt a bit like breakdance music that blacks and Latinos like.

   "Hi, Brother Whirlwind!" The first male voice greeted loudly.

   Ronald finally opened his eyes when he heard the words "Brother", and what he saw was a very large screen with a movie playing.

The    projection hall is very old-fashioned, the seats are divided into front and rear, and there is a wide rostrum in front of the screen on the stage.

   "How about it, are you strong enough? I finally asked the old man for the inside ticket." Ronald turned his head and saw that it was a teenager sitting next to him talking to him.

   "Ah... yeah." Ronald said perfunctorily.

   "I heard that this movie is also very popular in America. Let's also look at the flowery world of capitalism and how capitalists exploit workers." The young man next to him was still talking.

   "Shh..." The older brother in front turned his head and made a gesture, "Don't be noisy, internal screenings, stop for a while."

   Ronald turns his attention back to the big screen, where two men are breakdancing.

   "Ayton, what are you doing here?" The man called "Whirlwind" was talking to the man at the beginning.

   "I'll introduce you, this is Kylie" Ayton introduced Kylie who was in the same car to "Whirlwind" and "Motor", and then danced by himself.

   Ronald looked a little familiar at the dance venue, isn't this Venice Beach in Los Angeles?

   The character named "Kelly" is also very familiar. Didn't I just see it yesterday, the heroine of Minahan's ninja movie Lucinda Dickey?

   "No, why are these Americans speaking Chinese!" Ronald exclaimed, he suddenly found that Lucinda was speaking fluent Chinese on the screen.

   "It was dubbed by the translation studio, that Kelly was dubbed by Ding Jianhua, and there was Tong Zirong behind him," said the young man who came next to him.

   Ronald was a little afraid to speak, he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.

   Soon blurred, and the camera cut to a buffet scene. The black guy nicknamed "Motor" picked up a piece of food and asked the waiter, "What is this?"

   "Pig's Head Cheese"

  "Huh...that's disgusting", "Motor" put down the cheese with an expression of disgust.

   "Come on, play as much as you like, don't be restrained." A guy with curly blond hair came over to say hello to the two break dancers.

   "You guys have fun here, don't be restrained."

   "What's up, Tong Zirong has such a squeaking voice? Let me tell you, he has rhinitis all the year round, so he can speak so distinctively."

   "Ah..." Ronald turned his head to look at the person who was speaking, and got some "internal tickets" to share with him, could it be a friend from a previous life? Ronald discerned carefully in the dark, the outline of this man seemed a little familiar.

   There was another blur, and the camera on the screen came to a large room with poor decoration. A man in the back is turning the record from side to side, making a creaking sound, and then begins to speak with his own live narration.

   is "Motor" and "Whirlwind," the two actors Ronald recognized who were fighting two other Latino and black dancers. The two sides began to dance, and under the rhythm of the "squeak" sound of the spinning record, the two sides began to dance and challenge each other.

   However, with the help of a female dancer, the three of them were able to jump out of some special rhythms and movements. The motor and the whirlwind are suffering from no female partner.

   "Let go, they're my friends, and I'm going to dance with them." It was Kelly, played by Lucinda Deitch, who pushed aside the blond curly-haired man and danced with them.

   "Don't forget that I am your agent, I will support you." The blond curly-haired man in a suit said to Kelly. Or it was said by Tong Zirong, who dubbed it.

   After Kelly came off the stage, she suddenly changed her dance style. It can be seen that Kelly dances in a jazz dance style, but after adding some breakdance movements, it makes the other girl unable to imitate this kind of dance.

   "Oh yeah..." Motor, Cyclone, and Kelly finally won.

   Another fast forward, Ronald dreamed that he and the friend walked out of the movie theater. When I looked back, I saw the words "Da Guangming Cinema" in large characters.

   "Let's go, let's play the latest game console..."

   "It's you!" Ronald exclaimed, he finally remembered, isn't this the kid who was with him when he had a dream last time, when he was playing the arcade "Fast Whirlwind"? So big in a flash?

   "Why did you change this look?" In the sunlight outside the cinema, Ronald found that the other party was wearing a cultural shirt with the words "Sino-US Cultural Exchange Year, America Film Exhibition" written on it.

   "You just dislike my style." Diane was awakened by Ronald's exclamation, and heard Ronald complain about his dream about changing his style, "The dream is all said, hum!"

   Diane kicked Ronald hard.

   "Ah!" Ronald was kicked. In his dream, he felt that he lost his balance and was about to fall to the ground, so he hurriedly rolled on the ground.

   "Hey, am I dreaming? How did I get under the bed?"
