Exploiting Hollywood 1980

   Chapter 625 Keep away from splashing on your body

"It was a Thursday night, like all Thursday nights in all the bars in the cities where all the young people in the world live, and the Spotlight Club was full of boys and girls. It was New York, so the boys were wearing T-shirts and sunglasses and Shorts, girls in miniskirts, Madonna hairdos..."

   Ronald got the cover story of the latest issue of "New York" magazine. David Bloom's article is so sensational that it can provoke the envy and jealousy of young readers, and the editor-in-chief adjusted it to a cover feature.

The    report is very long. At the beginning, it describes the male stars of the three kid gangs, who use their eyes to select the most beautiful beauties in the club, and then use their eyes to let them join their table.

"A girl straightened her long white T-shirt over her blue skirt, pushed her jet-black bangs away from her eyes, patted her hips with both hands, and walked slowly to the table...even though she already knew that three Every star has a fixed girlfriend."

  Ronald felt that the writing of this article was close to the script of the movie, vividly depicting the mentality of the girls getting close to the stars and the unscrupulous side of the three boys helping the actors.

   The three gang members shouted "Nazdorovye!", the Russian toast for "good health". But in fact here, this is a secret code they have agreed on in private. Each member of the Boys Gang can only select one girl in a club. When everyone shouts this code, other members of the Boys Gang cannot play her mind. .

   There is an unhurried pretty boy who is the unofficial president of the Boys Gang. Maybe it's because he's the son of a famous actor, Martin Sheen. At just 23 years old, Emilio Esteves looks like his famous father. His innocent sweet smile attracts more women and he cannot resist them.

   "She's today's playmate," he whispered, as an exotic young woman in a purple jumpsuit sat next to him, smiling like an old friend.

   It's Hollywood's "BratPack," the new Rat Pack of the 1980s, just like the Rat Pack of the 1960s - a touring band of famous young stars who roam around at parties, women, and good times.

The   Hollywood Boys gang act together as much as possible - the average American moviegoer has seen at least one of their co-stars in the past four years.

   The first Kid Gang movie was "Lights Out," about kids taking over a military school.

   Then there's "The Outer Boy," based on Hinton's novel and directed by Francis Ford Coppola.

   Ronald Lee's "Fast-Paced Richmond High School" takes them one step further and into the teenage audience.

   Next up is John Hughes' The Breakfast Club.

   And now The Kid's latest movie "The Fire of St. Elmore" will be released in New York.

   "How come there is still me?"

  Ronald looked at Nisita and Richard who had come on a special trip. What's your business here?

   "Your name was mentioned here only once. We thought it was a positive report, so we didn't ask to delete it."

  Although "New York Magazine" is a very self-respecting publication, it is impossible to delete relevant content because of the complaints of the interviewees, but the reporter David Bloom is willing to do anything for the money.

   Reporter Bloom then listed Hollywood's "Boy Gang."

  Tom Cruise was named the "hottest" kid. His "Good Boys Are Crazy" earned more than 30 million yuan for the film company.

   And then the most talented acting kid, Sean Penn.

   Minority representative kid, Nicolas Cage.

   Hard-working Kung Fu kid Ralph Mazio.

   "These are all positive images, so Paula kept Tom's name in the report after consulting with the PR firm."

   Ronald expressed his understanding that Ralph Mazio was also the result of Weintraub's overnight PR, and was put into the group of positive boys who were motivated.

   Then there are a few stars that David Bloom deeply hates, maybe members of the "Stinky Boys"

   "Emilio Estevez, president of the Brat Gang."

   "Pretty face Rob Lowe."

   "The most misnamed boy, Judd Nelson."

   "The kid least likely to replace Marlon Brando, Matt Dillon."

   "Least gregarious kid, Andrew McCarthy."

   "Almost a kid from the Boys, Matthew Broddick."

   After this list, David Bloom's machine guns began to fire, and these people did not go to college and entered Hollywood acting after high school. Most of their parents were insiders, and their starting point was much higher than that of ordinary people.

   And they're also reluctant to devote more effort to learning to act, skipping the critical step to success that Marlon Brando, or more recently, the Robert De Niro and Al Pacino generation, required: years of acting study.

   Young actors used to spend years at the lap of respected teachers like Lee Strasberg, and Stella Adler before venturing on stage, let alone in movies. Today, this step is considered less necessary.

   "Tom's PR manuscript ready?" Ronald looked up and asked Nisita.

   "Yes, the day after his interview was published."

   "How is he doing with Marty in Chicago now?"

   "Still familiar with the script, you know he has dyslexia and needs more time to prepare the script than others. When are you going back to Los Angeles?"

"Next week, I have an appointment with Eisner from Disney to talk about Disney's live-action movies. He has got his screen fund, and the director of the fund has urged me again before a film has been cast. "

  Ronald scratched his head. Little George's phone call came.

Ronald then looked down, and the reporter said that Emilio deliberately called the cinema manager in order to get a free ticket to the movie Ladyhawke and put on a stinky air of do you know who I am, Just to show your privilege.

   "Legend of Eagle Wolf" is a special effects blockbuster starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Matthew Brodick. It is said that Emilio wants to see it without calling a manager to ask for a free ticket.

   Unless he deliberately did it in front of reporters to save face.

  Ronald then looked down at the report. The reporter David Bloom changed the subject and started a story of adventure from the perspective of Emilio Estevez.

  Emilio had a mentor, Harry Dean Stanton. It is the former Natasha Kinski and Rebecca De Mornay's ex-boyfriend who has a suit that doesn't cost money, doesn't need industry status, isn't handsome, and can often get to the top. Pretty girl's ability.

  Emilio often climbed to Stanton's house at the top of Beverly Hills to learn how to pick up girls. In addition to the well-known Demi Moore, he has more than two dozen temporary girlfriends.

   "This Emilio, what did he do to offend the reporter? Why did he describe him so badly?"

   "Look here, there's still some trouble with your acquaintances." Richard pointed to the following description for him.

   "Hey? Why is he involved again?" Ronald found out that he had another enemy of his own.

  After the Spotlight Club came out, Emilio ran to the Dongying restaurant opposite and asked the bodyguard to clear the best private room for himself and his friends to enjoy sushi. Bodyguards kept all the diners out, and only pretty girls came in to sign.

  His girlfriend Demi didn't follow for the second stall, Emilio was looking forward to another pretty girl fan. But it was not the fans who came in, but the unofficial member of another "stinky gang", the only Oscar winner Timothy Hutton.

   Hutton's hair was greasy, and the two chatted about a mutual acquaintance, Sean Penn, who now dates Madonna all day. After Hutton left, Emilio teased Hutton loudly in front of his friends. He lost three movies in a row, and now no one in Hollywood is looking for him to make movies.

   "Oscar is a piece of shit. If you don't make money, you can't do it. If you want to become popular in this industry, you have to keep making movies that make money. I'm going to write, direct, and star in a movie soon, and Rob Lowe too."

   "Is that Timothy Hutton?" Ronald looked up at his agent.

   "The news now is that he, and possibly Sean Penn and Madonna, Emilio didn't know how to behave and commented on a lot of people casually. These people may cause trouble for him."

   "And you, he also commented on your work, we asked reporter David Bloom to delete it."

   "There must be no good things to say." Ronald saw that Emilio had so many enemies, and he was no longer ready to fall into the trap. Otherwise, the younger ones will be beaten, and the older ones will come out, so it is best to maintain the posture of watching the play.

   "Hahaha... Bloom wrote well, praised us as the most talented young actor in Hollywood."

After the publication of New York Magazine, Emilio Estevez recruited Rob Lowe and Judd Nelson and began to brag. His story is much more than two best friends, and it is also a place where he can gain face.

Lori Rodkin, Judd Nelson's girlfriend and manager, saw what was wrong and pulled her boyfriend aside, "Did Emilio offend someone? Why does this report say you don't hone your acting skills? You are obviously Stella Adler's tall foot, and we were introduced by her daughter."

   "I don't know, there are a lot of people who are jealous of Emilio's achievements and family background. It shouldn't have anything to do with me. I see him in the whole article. I'm just a supporting role."

"Are you stupid?" Rodkin hates iron, "Why Tom Cruise they just mentioned a name, and you and Emilio are tied together, the bad thing is you and Rob Lowe Yes? You have to make a statement to clear the line with him."

   "Isn't that bad? We are friends."

   "Friend? You see he's going to put the blame on you soon." Lotkin was so angry that he threw his bag on the ground.

   "Mr. Estevez, your phone number."

   "Dad? How did you call me?" Emilio was drunk and accidentally received a call from his father Martin Sheen on the bar.

   "Who is counting on you? Why is there this report?"

   "No? The reporter is my friend. I asked him to come to the club for an interview. By the way, I also introduced some of my friends. They also appeared on the cover of the magazine. Thank you for being too late."

  Martin Xin was almost so angry with his eldest son that he had a heart attack, "Friend? My friend is so slandered that you can act because of me? Never hone your acting skills? Have a formal girlfriend and more than 20 temporary girlfriends?

   Immediately call your agent, then do as he says, and I'll go talk to Mr. Eisner about the new release deal. "

   Emilio Estevez reacted and looked at the table where he was.

  Wow…

   Everyone vacated a stool, which is where he sat. A minute ago, everyone was desperately trying to get closer to the president of the Boys Gang, but now they are avoiding him like a patient.

   "Demi, where are you going?"

  Emilio saw that Demi Moore was going to leave, so he kept his word. This was the only girlfriend he could talk to under such circumstances.

   "Go find your more than 20 temporary girlfriends!"

  Demi turned and left the bar.

   She returned to the high-level apartment on the top floor of the brand-new building, smoked a cigarette, and settled down. How should we take advantage of this situation now for our own best interests?

   "Hey, Ronald, I want to ask, what happened to Emilio? Did you do it?"

   "Nothing, he probably offended other actors who competed with him for roles. I am a director, and there is no fundamental contradiction with him." Ronald immediately denied.

   "What should I do? Ronald, now I'm like a laughing stock, everyone laughs at me, not only has bad eyesight, but is also disgusted by my boyfriend."

   "It's up to you to decide what to do. I can only say that in the past week, someone will shoot him. You'd better stay away from him and don't get splashed on him."
