The editing of the two versions of the commercial was completed quickly. For the commercial that imitated the 007 scene starring Pierce Brosnan and Diane, Ronald asked Corey Yuen to be responsible for the editing, and he personally edited the Demi Moore version.

In the screening room, Ronald and two martial arts stuntmen from Xiangjiang watched the sample film.

"Very good. This is an action scene that has never been seen in Hollywood. You guys did a good job and it was very efficient. I was very surprised. There is a great need for stunt directors like you here. Have you ever thought about staying in Hollywood?"

"I'm married, and I came here to make some money for my family. Director Luo, you've been very kind to us, but I still have to go home and take care of my husband." Yuen Qiu said that he should return to his family.

"Why? Women can work even if they are married? If you look at stunt directors in Hollywood, many are husband-and-wife teams."

"My husband is also a director, I have to go back and take care of him." Yuen Qiu replied.

Ronald shrugged. He knew that directors usually stay away from home for several months before filming, so it was really difficult to persuade this rare female stuntwoman to continue working.

"They are a very loving couple." Corey Yuen explained beside him.

"What about you, Corey? Are you interested in staying in Hollywood? My company will soon invest in some small-budget movies, each with a scale of one to two million US dollars. If you are willing, you can submit the script to me." Luo

Nader reached out to Corey Yuen.

This time, I saw that his directing, action design, and post-editing were all very efficient. Ronald became interested in talent.

"Corey is one of the top five or six action directors we have there. He is nominated for Best Action Designer at the Academy Awards every year." This is Yuen Qiu's introduction to Ronald.

Corey Yuen certainly wants to make a career in Hollywood. The small productions here also have budgets of millions of dollars, which is much larger than the big productions over there.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I have to go back and help Brother Long. He will come back to film this year and he will need me in a lot of ways."

"Well, when you are free, you are always welcome to bring a script to try." Ronald knew that he had the ambition to be a director, and his knowledge and experience were sufficient.

"Thank you, Brother Luo, I think so highly of you. When the sequels of Plan A and Police Story are filmed, come and give it a try." Yuen Qiu spoke quickly and saw that Corey Yuen wanted to come over and give it a try, so he took up the conversation.

"If you have any ideas, just call me and I will talk to Brother Long." Ronald smiled at them and gave his promise, "And you, Sister Qiu, want to come back to relieve your boredom, or give some advice in the future.

Remember to come to me if your kids want to earn some pocket money, there is a shortage of good female stunt people in Hollywood."

"Thank you, Director Luo, for your appreciation." The two stuntmen are considered well-educated, and Ronald can win them over.

"I will ask my company's assistant, Ms. Chen, to accompany you to Los Angeles today, take some photos, buy some souvenirs, and put them all on the company's account." Ronald called the translator, Ms. Chen, and gave the explanation.

He took out a credit card and handed it to her.

The two happily went out with the translator. The moment they opened the door of the screening room, a strong man walked in.

"Hi, Ronald, we meet again."

It turned out to be Bruce Willis.

"Bruce, Demi is not here today. Her scenes have been filmed." Ronald wanted to hide when he saw him coming.

This Bruce Willis, during the filming, fully demonstrated the extent to which a male star would go to pursue an actress.

During the filming, hundreds of roses were sent to the filming location every day, and there was a special person to wait on Demi Moore, using the mineral water and food he specially ordered.

And because he is a TV star, he also breaks the rules by going to the filming site himself and giving tips to the staff on site. Especially the dragon and tiger warriors who help protect Demi Moore, Willis is every

People handed out hundreds of dollars in tips.

"You all must work hard to protect Miss Moore and never let her get hurt. I'm here to watch you..."

In the end, Ronald couldn't stand it anymore, so he acted like a director and drove him away.

Today he broke the rules again and came to the screening room where no one other than the director or editor could come, and he didn't know what excessive demands he would make in order to please Demi Moore.

"Tell me, what do you want?" Ronald knew what Bruce Willis wanted to do as soon as he saw his evil smile.

"Hey, I want to see Demi's finished film."

Ronald rubbed his head. He knew Willis well, and he was very thick-skinned. However, the commercial was actually very short, unlike movies that needed to be kept secret, so it didn't matter if he showed it to him.

"Oh, she is really very attractive, what do you think?" Bruce Willis looked at Demi's image on the screen, his eyes lit up.

"Who says it's not?" Ronald curled his lips.

"Brother, I have never been like this before. She is really charming. Can I..."

"Here you make a copy." Ronald quickly called the editing assistant to give Bruce Willis a copy of the videotape.

This man was so obsessed with picking up girls that he felt a little upside down, as if he had really fallen into Demi's trap.

"Thank you, Ronald. I have to go back. The progress at Blue Moonlight is very slow due to Sybil. I have to go to the studio."

"Bye..." Ronald quickly sent this simple-minded TV star away.

…

The finished films of the two advertisements were screened in front of Coca-Cola's marketing director Mellett.

"Put aside the one that looks like 007." Mellett liked Brosnan's advertisement more and looked at it again and again.

This is a bit beyond Ronald's expectation. Judging from the storyline, action scenes, and protagonist's performance, Demi Moore's version is more complete and smooth, and more in line with Diet Coca-Cola's products, but Mellett seems

Save the male version of the commercial for the Super Bowl.

"I like this version of the ad very much. James Bond fights the Japanese ninja. 007 should actually be played by this actor. Let's use this version of the ad as the Super Bowl halftime ad version. The version with the actress, we will next

It will start playing in the month.”

"You are the boss." Ronald was very happy to know that the other party had approved both advertisements.

"If I may, I would like to ask, why did you choose the version with the male protagonist to save for the Super Bowl?"

"The main customers of Coke are men. Although the heroine in that version is very good, I'm afraid it won't arouse the reaction of many customers." Melette was in a good mood and explained a few words to Ronald.

"Thank you," Ronald thanked Coca-Cola's marketing director and sent him out.

"Is his idea true?" After returning to the screening room, Ronald found Darcy Maguire, the creative director of the advertising company, for advice.

“That’s actually not true,” Darcy Maguire curled her lips. “Many six-packs of Coke are purchased by housewives. They are the decision makers for household purchases.

This kind of fast-moving consumer goods with large shipments actually has the most important impact on mothers and wives. So I think the Demi Moore version should be used."

"Gender issue?" Ronald asked Darcy Maguire.

"Pretty much, this industry has been male-dominated in America for 80 years, and there are many rules in the industry that have been passed down from that time. Now that professional women and housewives in America have become more and more powerful, some old rules have also come to an end.

It’s time to make amends.”

"Maybe next time, but this time the male version has the upper hand."

…

A meeting was quickly held at Coca-Cola, and Ronald's commercial film passed the review. Coca-Cola was very happy to pay, and Ronald took the check and was watching it under the desk lamp.

As long as I go to the bank to cash the check tomorrow, the dilemma of having no money this year can be greatly alleviated. In the first half of 1987, I only had normal expenses and did not buy myself any expensive toys.

While admiring the presentation of his creativity, Ronald heard the phone ring.

"Hey, Ronald."

"Ronald, I'm Demi."

On the other end of the phone was Demi Moore's husky and sexy voice.

"Demi, I was about to call you. Coca-Cola has approved the commercial. Contact your agent and he should get the check soon."

"Thank you, Ronald, thank you." Demi was excited on the other end of the phone. She hadn't received a new film for a long time, and she had to borrow money to buy new clothes. With this advertising income, which is equivalent to half of the salary, her

The economic situation will be greatly alleviated.

"I didn't call to say this." After thanking Demi, she resumed her lazy voice, "I can't thank you in the old way this time."

"Don't worry too much, we are friends." Ronald thought to himself, had he made any inappropriate hints? Originally, the matter had been cleared up, and there was no need to hold on to Demi Moore. He was not that kind of person.

The kind of producer who can control an actress just by showing him a favor once.

"Yeah, I know, I know, you are very good to me..." Demi still said what she wanted to say.

"Bruce showed me the video he got from you today, and he took the opportunity to ask me to live in his home."

"Are you sure?" Ronald thought, why is it that in just a few days, the woman will move into the man's house and live together?

"I'm sure. On the one hand, I like Bruce, and on the other hand, he is the kind of man I dream of. I have no one to protect me in this industry, and I dream of such a man every day."

"Um, then, congratulations?" Ronald didn't know what to say.

"Thank you, you are the only close friend I have in Hollywood with whom I can talk about these things." Demi Moore is working in various camps in Hollywood, and she really doesn't have any real friends.

"Don't say that, I'm happy for you.

"Thank you...well, I have one more thing...our previous ones..."

"Your secret ends with me, it's safe with me." Ronald heard the implication of Demi Moore. She used to abuse drugs, kept changing boyfriends, and secretly acted as her own traitor, defrauding others.

Ex-boyfriend Emilio Estevez’s secrets to himself.

These things are all huge detractors for a simple-minded chauvinist like Bruce Willis.

Ronald was very cautious about this kind of thing. Apart from his manager, he never told anyone else, not even his family. So in order to reassure the other person and keep their secrets safe, the two of them made a tacit agreement to keep each other's secrets secret.

…

At six o'clock on Monday morning, Ronald was making breakfast at home and talking to Michelle Cannold on the phone.

The box office results of the second week were also summarized by Daydream Pictures. The screening scale was expanded to 1,400 theaters, the box office of a single theater only dropped 5%, and the total box office performance has exceeded 15 million. "Dirty Dancing" continues to
