Gilbert Cates, the chairman of the investigative committee, led the investigation process. He found many parties involved to inquire about the situation at that time, hoping to find an excuse acceptable to everyone and successfully end this farce.

But on the one hand, the gay gang believes that they have been discriminated against, and on the other hand, the old stars who insist on Hollywood are angry that they have ruined Hollywood classics. Both sides are already in a difficult position, and it is not easy to find a suitable scapegoat for both parties to accept.

Ronald didn't interfere much with Mr. Chairman's investigative enthusiasm. He also had a selfish desire to take over as the producer of the next Oscar. So Ronald only showed up during meetings and browsed Cates' various inquiry reports, only listening to them.

explain.

In this way, the investigation reached a deadlock. Cates kept talking to people every day, but could not find a reason acceptable to both parties. He was a little exhausted.

Ronald contacted several older Hollywood stars who had issued public letters of opposition to listen to their thoughts and prepared to take action when Cates was out of luck.

If you want to win an Oscar, you have to make a lot of friends. If you want to overthrow Ovitz's hegemony, you have to have enough powerful stars on your side. This matter is a good opportunity to sell favors.

…

Woo...ga...

"Mr. Newman, this is really exciting."

Ronald climbed out of Paul Newman's race car wearing a leather jacket from "Top Gun" and his ancestral pilot's watch.

Newman was a racing fan. He and his first wife's child died suddenly due to drug abuse. After that, Newman's personality changed drastically. He founded a charity foundation and began to hold charity racing competitions to donate money to help young people who had gone astray.

Ronald himself owns a Ferrari, but it was only when he was sitting in Paul Newman's Chevrolet racing car that he felt the true strength of a professional racing driver. When he stood up from the passenger seat, he still felt a little uncomfortable. He had to hold the car window with his left hand to stand steady.

.

"Hahaha, you have some talent. Many people would vomit when they get on my racing car..." Paul Newman was still an old naughty boy and teased Ronald. "Your watch is very good..."

"Ah, it's my grandfather. He was a fighter pilot in World War II. Unfortunately, he crashed in the Atlantic Ocean. I have never seen him. I only have one of his watches as a relic, which my grandmother passed down to my father." Rona.

De took off his pilot's watch and handed it to Newman.

"A very old style, you carefully preserve it, it is very precious..." Newman is not only a racing fan, but also a watch fan.

"Are you also a watch collector?" Ronald saw that he also had an old watch on his hand.

"My wife Joan gave it to me. I only wear the gift from her now..." Paul Newman took off the watch and handed it to Ronald.

A rare piece of Rolex Daytona. Ronald turned around and looked at it. There were words engraved by Newman's wife on it: "Drive slower..."

"I like you...Ronald. In fact, we just don't want anyone to use Hollywood's classic image to promote their views in the future, and they made Snow White too ugly..."

"I understand, Mr. Newman. We might as well be honest. Many female celebrities cannot bear the strike of makeup artists and hairstylists. What kind of investigation conclusion can you accept..."

After reaching Paul Newman's bottom line, Ronald changed his clothes and went with David Simkins to meet with Dane Steele, the president of Columbia.

"Do you like this movie script?" Dane Steele was greatly surprised. She put the script on the table and stared at Ronald, as if trying to figure out whether the other person was testing her.

"Yes, my script supervisor David convinced me that this movie would have great box-office prospects if it got into the hands of a capable director, and that critics would not have a bad word to say about a movie with a baby.

." Ronald said frankly.

"I have studied your path to success, Ronald. The screenwriter of this movie is Amy Heckerling. I don't want to make you unhappy because of her. I also suppressed her production progress and did not give the green light."

Dane Steele clicks on the cover of this play called "Look Who's Talking."

Many stars in Hollywood have irreconcilable grudges. As the president of a studio, the most important thing is to learn about these conflicts from your agent. Otherwise, you are asking for trouble.

It's not uncommon for artists to dislike each other and spoil a good production. Now is no longer the era when studios could suppress and force stars to collaborate with their enemies.

"Haha, you've got it. Ms. Steele. I don't have any big grudges with Amy Heckerling. As a screenwriter and director, I appreciate the ability of this colleague. At that time, we were just two young people who were just entering Hollywood.

People are just competing for resources..."

Ronald's current status is no longer comparable to that of Amy Heckerling. Some of the grievances of the past have been forgotten. The real bad guy Tom Mount has changed from the president of the Seventh Group to an independent person who can only produce small productions.

Producer, no more threats.

Anyway, the script Simkins recognized that this kind of genre film has a wide audience. After the project is approved, it can help his daydream to make money.

"Then I'll call her and ask her to come and thank you in person..." Dann Steele really understands the psychology of powerful men in Hollywood. This kind of competitor who looks past the past and crawls in front of him will have his fate determined.

No one will reject the feeling of making your own decision.

"Amy...Long time no see..."

Ronald waited for Amy Heckerling, who had competed with him for the director's seat. He hadn't seen her for several years. The originally charming and beautiful director was now a little dry, but she was still in good spirits.

"Mr. Li..." Heikelin originally came with the idea of ​​resisting being humiliated and fighting for this opportunity. Unexpectedly, what awaited her was Ronald's warm embrace.

"We have known each other for a long time, just call me Ronald."

After Amy Heckerling passed up the opportunity to be replaced in "Fast-paced Richmond High", Tom Mount gave her other opportunities, allowing her to direct "Johnny Dangerously" and "Johnny Dangerously".

"National Lampoon's European Vacation" two movies.

These two movies were neither moderately popular nor successful at the box office, nor did they lose money. The reviews from critics were average. There are too many old movies in Baby Lucky Star, and probably only their own fans can understand them. Crazy Vacation Adventures is a sequel movie,

The series was also discontinued after exhausting its box office potential.

After Tom Mount was kicked out of Universal, Heckerling had no one to take care of him, so he married director Neil Israel after careful consideration. She soon became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter seven months after the marriage.

The script "Look Who's Talking" is a semi-autobiographical work written by Heikelin based on her anxiety when she was pregnant, fearing that the child would not have a father.

"So, this script is a collection of problems faced by many mothers in America today..." Amy Heckerling talked about her creative ideas for a long time, and the more she talked about it, the smoother it became. Anyway, it was all about asking the sponsor.

When investors explain creative content, if they meet an acquaintance and capable director, at least the other party can understand...

"Yes, it's really good...Which star have you decided to invite to play the leading role?" Ronald flipped the script. Listening to Heikelin's explanation, she really didn't put down her skills during her time as a housewife.

It is also a story adapted from my own experience, and many aspects can resonate with female audiences.

"I wanted to hire John Travolta...but the price he asked was too high..." As soon as Heckerling heard Ronald's question, she knew that the other person had the idea of ​​letting her direct. Suppressing her excitement, she

He named the star he was most optimistic about, and then glanced at Dane Steele. Last year, she refused to give him the green light on the excuse that it was too expensive.

"Well..." Ronald shook his head inwardly. Heckerling had been away from Hollywood for too long. John Travolta was a popular star when she was active in Hollywood. But since she played Stallone in ""

After the sequel to "Saturday Night Fever", it received numerous bad reviews and the audience didn't buy it anymore. It has disappeared from Hollywood for a long time.

If he plays the leading role, it is impossible for the audience to enter the cinema because of this name.

"Are there any other candidates? For example, the heroine?" Ronald asked.

"Kirstie Alley, I have always been very optimistic about her acting skills...it also fits the character of the protagonist..." Amy Heckerling thought Ronald was optimistic about his casting, and immediately began to work hard to promote herself.

The heroine, she really looks like me when she was young.

Ronald raised his hand to stop Heckerling from continuing. His fingers tapped rhythmically on Dan Steele's desk, and then he said, "Travolta doesn't have enough star status.

You have to find a bigger name. Ask Bruce Willis if he is interested. If not, then choose another male star, or replace the heroine with a star... If there is a suitable candidate, I will invest in your project.

…”

"Huh?" Amy Heckerling was stunned. Does this mean she dislikes her small appetite? Why is pie falling from the sky?

"Columbia will also inject an equal amount of capital and then be responsible for distribution..." Dane Steele immediately took over. As long as Ronald is interested in a movie, she will make additional investment, which is absolutely safe.

Amy Heckerling, who was so happy that she almost cried, quickly contacted Bruce Willis' agent. Ronald went to watch the horse race with Gregory Peck again.

"Actually, I have always wanted to act in a western movie, but they all thought that I was more suitable to act as an intellectual..." Parker once owned two racehorses and participated in races across California, but unfortunately he failed to win the championship. However, horse racing has become his life

hobbies.

"It's a pity that no one is willing to invest in western movies now..." Ronald also expressed regret.

"I have lived my whole life in accordance with the requirements of public intellectuals, but I am not extreme. I opposed the Vietnam War, but when my son went to fight in Vietnam, I supported his decision. I opposed discrimination against Jews, Chinese, and blacks.

But you cannot destroy the foundation of Hollywood just because of your own group...

I have been a liberal all my life and support the Donkey Party, but I also have good conservative friends like the Mayor of Paris, Jacques.

My bottom line is that Alan Carr must be removed from the Oscars. He can no longer be associated with this award, and gay gangs cannot use this method of kidnapping to gain support. They don't even dare to speak openly about their demands.

, what a bunch of rats..."

"This can be done..."

Ronald found out the bottom line of another key figure in the opposition and knew it well. In addition to his personal style of doing things, Gregory Peck also served as the president and chairman of the Academy of Motion Picture Technology and Arts.

This kind of wanton destruction of the reputation of the Academy Awards is, in his view, a huge offense to the reputation of the academy where he once worked.

The two stopped talking about this disappointing thing, and instead talked about the past when they went to the other side of the Pacific together. They couldn't help but feel very happy when they learned that Yimou, the best actor at the Tokyo Film Festival who he personally awarded the award, later also won the West Berlin Golden Bear Award as a director.

Cheer up.

"Let me tell you, Ronald. The people there have the temperament of painters and the ability to tell stories. They are a group of people who are most suitable for movies..."

"I know you are very popular there. They all love the image you have created with a sense of justice. If there is a chance, they will definitely invite you to be the leading actor in their movie..."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! A burst of flattery made Gregory Peck very comfortable. His health was not as good as Paul Newman's. Being able to have an acquaintance come over to talk about the glorious past would be a good idea.

His mental condition was a huge boost.

…

"Now it is clear that the stars who signed the open letter have drawn a bottom line. You must disappear from the Oscars, Ellen..."

A few days later, when the Investigative Committee summoned Alan Carr, Ronald bypassed Chairman Cates and made a direct offer to the withered perpetrator.

"I...I know..." Alan Carr frowned, having long accepted this cruel fact.

"The question is, what method of condemnation should we take against you..." Cates glanced at Ronald and asked the biggest question. What crime should be assigned to him to satisfy everyone, and then he could not mention it publicly.
To be continued...
