Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"That's no problem. We are looking forward to working together on this matter. We all hope that Miss Sigourney Weaver will win as many Golden Globe Awards as possible."

"That's good. We have a basis for cooperation." Sitting opposite Ronald was

PR manager for the crew of "Gorillas in the Mist," whose movie also suffered from poor box office success.

If it can gain something during the awards season, it may gain more in the international market and the video tape market, and it may even be re-released domestically.

Their marketing plan is just like

The "Working Girl" crashed. Fortunately, Sigourney Weaver played the leading role in Gorilla.

In this way, in terms of awards, it is the same as

The supporting female roles in "Working Girl" are staggered. Not only do the two sides have no conflict, they can also unite to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

Sigourney Weaver's agent also found Ronald through CAA. Both parties coordinate, maintain cooperation, and hype together.

"Sigourney Weaver, from the female doctor jungle gorilla researcher to the mean Wall Street bitch. From the best actress in a drama to the best supporting actress in a comedy. Her acting skills are flawless and her transformation is dizzying. Sigourney Weaver, the Golden Globe winner, is expected to win the double yolk award for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress." Ronald looked at the joint hype between the two parties, and then signed the document, which was beneficial to both parties. matter.

As for the Oscars in the future, we will talk about it then. After sending away his partners, Ronald complained to his public relations consultant, Michael Gray,

"Why is there another problem with Melanie? I am beginning to wonder whether our public relations strategy focusing on her is really effective."

"Many of Melanie's behavioral problems are also due to her mother..." Michael Gray was also very helpless.

With such a mother on the stall, there is really nothing we can do. Melanie Griffith's mother, Tibby Hedlund, saw her daughter's interview, which made headlines in newspapers and magazines. Unwilling to be lonely, she came out to act like a monster again.

"I haven't given interviews to the media since 1982. That's because I focused all my energy on animal protection. I raised my daughter to develop her nature. The animals learned a lot. "Tibby Hedlund is really very lonely. There are still some shadows of her appearance back then, but sometimes she needs to remind reporters to remind them of what she has played.

"birds" and

"Beautiful thief". But in fact, this should not be blamed on Tibby, but because Hitchcock had no talent in his daughter Patricia, so he transferred the copyrights of some of his films to his daughter.

And they were banned from being shown on any occasion. This resulted in the absence of Hitchcock's films for twenty years on TV stations, videotapes and other channels through which a new generation of audiences could access Hitchcock's works.

Finally got a chance and was remembered by reporters again. Tippi Hedlund said a lot about Melanie Griffiths' childhood.

In his words, he said that his daughter was not very good. It seems that compared to Tibby herself, her daughter is just a fat, backward, and not very smart little chubby girl.

Only when she married Don Johnson did she surprise herself. And said a lot of things about how Don Johnson was rude.

Melanie Griffiths was already mentally fragile, and under the supervision of Ronald and accompanied by her boyfriend Don Johnson, she was slowly recovering.

Irritated by her mother's harsh words, she locked herself in her room for a day without eating or drinking. Finally, her boyfriend, Don Johnson, found someone to break the lock and send her to the hospital for treatment.

Hey, sometimes, an excellent mother will often ignore her daughter's wishes, causing her daughter's self-esteem to be frustrated.

Melanie Griffiths is still much worse than her mother in terms of appearance. However, her acting talent and dedication to study make her acting ability much better than that of Nai Mu.

But Tibby's nonsense still made Ronald very angry. The media has completely forgotten about the topic of Miss Golden Globe Award and Best Actress Award at Golden Globe Award. They are all filled with content about the Hitchcock girl saying that her daughter is a fat girl.

real money

The media space that came from "public relations" was ruined by this old witch.

"Find someone to tell Ms. Tippi Hedlund that if she continues to talk about her daughter in such a frank manner, I will make her irresponsible and allow her daughter to live unprotected with beasts like lions, and she will be raped in the end. Tell me about the beast attack..." For a female star who has been helped by men every time she suffered setbacks because of her beauty, only by threatening her to expose her unbeautiful side can she understand.

"Pfft, okay, I'll make arrangements. She shouldn't talk about Melanie's scandal again in the future." Michael Gray accepted the order with a smile.

Really, Ronald took care of the unnecessary trouble. He couldn't help but think that Diane's mother was also prettier than her, and she had some problems with her daughter.

It seems that this is a common problem among second-generation children in the entertainment industry. However, Diane does not seem to have serious psychological problems like Griffiths. I wonder if her father's love made her childhood life happier.

Ronald thought that when he arrived in New York, he could talk to Diane about this kind of thing. In the past few weeks, he has been busy editing films in Los Angeles.

The impact of "When Harry Met Sally" has been put together for the first time, and it can come to an end.

Coincidentally, the inauguration ceremony of the commander-in-chief will be held soon in Washington, D.C. on the 20th.

Ronald, who was invited, could take his family to attend the ceremony, and he could also sit in the infield and watch the old George up close as he laid his hand on the Bible and declared.

…

"Aren't you going too?" Ronald arrived in New York and talked about going to the inauguration ceremony together, but Diane expressed her unwillingness to go.

"Why, isn't Donna going too?" Diane was surprised. Donna was still buying new clothes two days ago.

"Uh... forget it, I'll go with Aunt Karen..." Ronald thought and almost let it slip. When he was in Los Angeles, Helen Slater made it clear that she was unwilling to attend Old George, a man who advocated nuclear weapons. Like the inauguration ceremony of the party leader.

"Many actors in Hollywood don't like this commander-in-chief. Why don't you go? It's not necessarily good to be seen..." Diane touched Ronald's lips with her hand.

When I was only a few weeks old, my parents divorced. Her mother has always been disapproving of her. Although her father loved her very much and paved the way for her in Hollywood... But for her current status, the person she should be most grateful for is the man in front of her... Ronald meets Diane He smiled warmly and stroked her arm.

"I'm the director, it doesn't matter..." Ronald didn't say anything else. He contributed his own money and efforts because George Lao's future policies would not be good for a big Hollywood artist like him, and he relied on the capital market. Are there more preferential policies for wealthy people who have made a fortune?

If I don't show up on Old George's proudest day, how can I remind him just right?

…

"Everyone calls these eight years old Ronald Economics, but for me, these eight years are a journey full of common sense. We only need to rely on common sense to know that if you tax a person's income heavily, then The output of his talent would be much less..." In the evening, Ronald dined with Aunt Karen, Donna, and Diane.

What was shown on the TV was the public farewell speech of the current commander-in-chief. For a commander-in-chief who is about to leave office, having such a high ratings for his farewell speech is the best compliment for his governance over the past eight years.

"So, if we cut taxes for the people, the people will be able to create more than ever before..."

"That's so right..." Little Douglas, who came over to eat, heard this and cheered loudly. Anyway, old George vowed to continue the economic policies of the current commander-in-chief. This is the most critical policy!

"You are too noisy, affecting my aunt's watching TV..." Ronald motioned to little Douglas to be gentle.

Ronald Sr.'s farewell speech was sincere and heartfelt, and everyone could not bear to part with the leader who led America out of its economic trough.

Of course, there are many people who don't like him, but these people don't dare to criticize Ronald Sr.'s policies directly and can only make insinuating remarks.

"Hey, aunt, don't be angry, I just speak bluntly..." Little Douglas seemed very nervous, and even went to help bring the coffee.

"It's okay, you are a good boy too..." Aunt smiled and patted little Doug's hand. …

"Hey, let's go to bed early tonight. We're going to the White House early tomorrow morning. The Marines will be guarding the place very early. I'm afraid we won't be able to get in if we get there late.

"I'm a little excited. I didn't expect to witness this kind of celebration live..." By the night before the inauguration, Ronald and his aunt had arrived in Washington, DC.

An estimated 600,000 people will attend Friday's inauguration ceremony. This number of people is probably larger than the number of people at the Jes’88 large-scale prayer meeting organized by the church last spring.

Most of these people can only watch the TV broadcast to celebrate from the outside, or participate in the parade of the new commander-in-chief after the inauguration ceremony.

Old George has more classical tastes and likes the scene of many people lined up neatly and greeting people on both sides of the road, so he resumed this kind of parade that had not been held for a long time.

In short, sitting in a convertible car and waving to the people on both sides of the road is something that few leaders like to do since Kennedy was assassinated.

But maybe this feeling of being close to the people is good, and old George feels that he needs this kind of occasion to increase his charm.

On Friday morning, George Herbert Walker's official swearing-in ceremony will take place. Ronald, wearing a coat, walked slowly toward the west side of Capitol Hill with his aunt who was dressed up for the occasion.

The invitation he held in his hand was an invitation with black characters on a gold background, a style that had lasted for more than a hundred years. At that time, old George and Barbara will come out together with retired old Ronald and Nancy, and then the deputy commander Dan Quayle and his wife.

Then Justice O'Connor presided over the oath-taking ceremony of Vice Commander Quayle, and then the Marine Corps soldiers sang a hymn.

Finally, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Rehnquist, personally administered the oath to the successor commander. After that, the 51st General Commander-in-Chief officially took office.

George Sr. came from an orthodox New England political family, and he restored many old practices. For example, he decided to personally recite the oath of founding father George Washington, just like his idol, World War II veteran General Eisenhower.

Ronald held Aunt Karen on his arm, and the two slowly followed the crowd to the entrance of the infield. To enter the infield, you must have an invitation with black letters on a gold background.

There was a line of people queuing up, holding invitations in their hands for the Marines on guard to inspect, and slowly entered.

"Donna..." Ronald saw Donna wearing a new coat waiting at the entrance, with a man in her hand.

"Hi, Ronald, Aunt Karen..." Little Douglas greeted them with a smile,

"Good morning..."

"Good... morning..." Ronald clasped his hands together, his knuckles cracking. How could this guy be with Donna... and keep it a secret from me... Little Douglas came to chat with his aunt. He listened to his grandfather's analysis and focused on pursuing Donna, a highly intelligent woman who graduated from IT and worked on Wall Street. He had been in constant contact with her for the past two years and finally made a breakthrough.

"Don't do that..." Donna, who took Ronald's arm, hit him. Such a rough move was very rude at the inauguration ceremony of the president.

Ronald was so angry that he had to look around. The scene was very orderly and he couldn't see where the baseball bat was...

"Who is that?" Barbara's youngest son Jeb happened to walk through the inner circle. His wife, a petite Hispanic immigrant, asked the tall and handsome man who was looking around outside in Spanish.

"Huh..." Jeb was unhappy. If it weren't for Ronald's help, his brother George Jr. would not have been recognized by Barbara.

Then, Jeb called a staff member wearing glasses and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Sir, your invitation..." Aunt Karen and little Douglas had already entered the inner circle. Just when it was Ronald's turn, the Marine who checked the invitation was called over and left for something.

After waiting for a minute, another staff member in a suit and glasses finally came and continued to let him in.

Ronald quickly took out his invitation and handed it to the other party. After receiving Ronald's invitation, the other party apologized to him embarrassedly,

"I'm sorry, I'm here to take over this position temporarily. The young men of the Marine Corps go in. The new commander-in-chief wants to say a few words to them. I don't know where the list is. Wait for me to go and get it." With that, the polite young man walked in with Ronald's invitation and disappeared at a corner.

...

"Sir, your invitation" After a few minutes, the Marines who had just left came back and asked Ronald for the invitation.

"No, your companion, a young man in a suit and glasses, has already taken it to check the list..." Ronald pointed to the back and answered.

"I'm sorry, today's ceremony is all in the hands of the Marine Corps. I can only ask you to leave, sir." The Marines took a half step forward and blocked Ronald's sight.

"I...you ask them, my invitation has been taken away by a civilian..." Ronald asked the people in the team behind him, wanting them to testify,

"Why don't you check the list, my name is Ronald...Ronald Lee." The friend behind him shrugged, indicating that he didn't see it.

Before Ronald could figure it out, the Marines had already isolated him to one side,

"Sir, I'm sorry, according to the rules, you must leave first...If you have anything, wait for my supervisor to come and deal with it, is that okay?" Although he was polite, Ronald didn't know that his ticket was cheated.

Donna pulled him,

"It's okay, we didn't really want to see it, it's okay as long as my mother goes in."

"Hmph..." Ronald knew that it was useless to say more, so he turned around and left. ……

"Doug..." The other son of the commander-in-chief, George Jr., came over to say hello. Little Douglas, who was already sitting in the inner circle with Aunt Karen, stood up and hugged him.

"Where's Ronald?" Little George looked around. Why hasn't this great campaign hero arrived yet? The ceremony was about to start in half an hour.

"He was just outside the door..." Aunt Karen also became anxious.

"Sir, is your ticket here?" Little Douglas was sharp-eyed. Seeing that a young man wanted to sit in the seat that should have belonged to Ronald, he immediately asked him politely.

"Oh, it was Oken who gave me the ticket. He said that the guests here will not come today."

"Oken gave you the ticket?" Little George got the other party's confirmation and immediately knew what was going on.

Oken was the manager of the campaign team led by his younger brother Jeb.

"It's okay. I'll call Ronald's hotel. It'll be fine. After the inauguration ceremony, my father will go to the National Air and Space Museum to attend the election ball. My mother will dance with him at that time." Little George hurried to make a phone call. Aunt Karen saw something was wrong and asked Little Doug about the whole story.

As an ordinary person, she felt that it was unfair to treat Ronald like this, and she couldn't like the new president.

…

"Although my dancing is not good, I have to take the risk and invite a beauty, Barbara, to dance with her for the first time after becoming the first lady..." After finishing the inauguration ceremony, George finally arrived at the Air and Space Museum, waving to the people along the street. The price of having face was that he didn't eat a bite along the way.

In order to have a friendly image, he couldn't be perfunctory. George was a little tired and sweaty when he arrived at the museum.

"Ahaha..." Barbara, wearing a blue suit, happily accepted her husband's invitation.

"Ronald, you look very energetic. I'm sorry for what happened just now..." After a while, Barbara and George separated, and the first one was brought here by her son George Jr. to dance with Ronald.

"This kind of thing happens often. I watched the live broadcast on TV outside, and it was a close-up shot. The demeanor of the president was clearer." Ronald had already listened to George Jr.'s explanation and could only express his dissatisfaction implicitly.

"Good boy, we have a long way to go..." Barbara still thinks highly of Ronald. But the one teasing him is her beloved youngest son, so dancing the first dance with him should be enough to make Ronald feel relieved... right?

Ronald certainly didn't feel relieved. It was not a big deal whether he saw the inauguration ceremony live, but he felt uncomfortable being humiliated like this and not expressing anything.

Only George was kind enough to him.

"I'm going back to New York first, you guys stay here for the dinner..." Donna wanted to accompany Doug, so Ronald left on the pretext that he was busy with film editing.

"Ronnie..." Aunt Karen tried to keep him, but to no avail,

"Hey, this matter has caused so much trouble... I'll go back too."

"It's okay, aunt, you should spend more time with Donna and Doug, it's a rare time to get together..." Ronald signaled his aunt not to get excited, this matter had nothing to do with them.

Doug and Donna attended such a formal event for the first time, and Aunt Karen should be happy. Ronald didn't attend any celebrations and rushed back to New York overnight.

The inauguration of the biggest leader of the largest country in the Western world, I am afraid no one will come to comfort the injured heart of a young man.

Ronald did not want to beg for mercy here, just said hello to George Jr. and got in the car and left.

"In fact, the president is still a good person, but his son is really..." The driver, Bud, came to pick up Ronald. He saw Ronald was silent in the driver's seat, so he started talking about this matter.

"How do you know he is a good person?" Ronald asked stiffly, he was still unhappy.

"Hey, the forgotten inauguration ceremony always invites singers to sing. Today's is our Marine Corps soldiers. I know the black soldier who sang. He also served in Okinawa." Bud Jr. did not have any bad feelings towards George Sr.

Ronald stopped talking. What Bud Jr. said was not wrong. This was mainly a personal grudge between Jeb and his campaign consultant.

In fact, apart from the tax reduction policy, no one had anything to ask of George Sr. Do these people think that he can only make money by relying on the White House?

There was no conversation along the way. Ronald still went to Diane to join him. The two of them went shopping in Manhattan and had a happy weekend.

…

"Have you got the high-definition master tape I wanted?" Michael Ovitz was sitting in his office. When he saw the video tape of the inauguration ceremony brought by his secretary, he immediately asked her to play it with professional Sony equipment.

"Yes, that's it. Pause." Ovitz saw the footage of the audience behind him during the inauguration ceremony and immediately ordered a pause.

The CBS master tape is much clearer than ordinary videotapes, and the pause does not cause the picture to shake or blur.

He faced the faces of the audience on the stage one by one.

"And the footage behind, also from the audience..." After ten minutes, Ovitz asked his secretary to switch to the footage after the inauguration ceremony.

He took off his glasses and wiped them. Ovitz felt that he was about to cry. He had already prepared an offensive against Ronald. There were rumors in CAA that Ronald had a good relationship with the President and would attend the inauguration ceremony.

He did not dare to act rashly and had to confirm it in person before he could feel at ease.

"Do you have eye drops? Give them to me..." Ovitz, who had been lying on the monitor for a long time, rubbed his eyes. Not only were they red, but they were also very sensitive.

In this kind of thing, it is never too careful. After watching for a long time, he did not find anyone who looked like Ronald in the stands.

Could it be that this was really a rumor? Made up by someone to mislead me?
