Things that no one wanted to see happened.

Those middle- and lower-class members of the Writers Guild who were incited by negotiator Walton could not accept that their dreams of commanding producers, determining directors, and flirting with heroines were shattered. The voting results defeated those who had real experience in working with Hollywood by a large percentage.

of middle-to-upper-class screenwriters.

For a time, the medium-sized Hollywood producers and the commentators of the three major wireless TV stations seemed to be crazy. They went all out in the news reports and attacked the negotiators of the Writers Guild for failing to convey goodwill to members, causing the strike to continue.

the negative consequences.

In an interview with the host of his own news program, ABC's manager in charge of screenwriting viciously cursed negotiator Walton. He had incited screenwriters who had never written a successful script and now succumbed to them.

fantasy, dare not push through the great goodwill of the Producers Alliance.

In the future, those low-level screenwriters who have no jobs or income and can only rely on donations from actors and pawning their property, and who are also banned from working by the union, will vote to eat Walton alive just like they voted against the passage today.

This direct criticism of negotiating opponents on TV is also because ABC suffered the most heavy losses. Their popular drama "Growing Pains" finally surpassed the ratings of its plagiarized "Family Ties" starring Michael J. Fox last year.

, becoming the highest-rated drama series among family-friendly TV series.

But if this strike continues, we don’t know how long it will be delayed, and this year’s new season will definitely be affected.

Although the three major wireless TV stations are required by law to take a neutral stance, and even political commentary programs must have a guest on each side, they still have biases in private.

Except for CBS, which has always been conservative and does not easily reveal its leanings, of the remaining two, NBC is more left-wing. The "family bond" is the eldest son Alex (played by Fox), who has conservative tendencies, and is the most popular among the audience. Alex is in the drama

Zhong is still a supporter of the current commander-in-chief, Ronald Sr., and talks about Ronald Economics.

ABC, which tends to be more liberal, released the tit-for-tat "Growing Pains" in 1986. The father in it, Jason Silver, is a practicing psychologist in a big city. He has a free mind and never commands his children.

It's a conversation.

My mother, Maggie Malone, is a field reporter for a television station. For the convenience of work, she uses her maiden name as her working name. This is an act that is deviant in the eyes of conservatives.

Not to mention the eldest son, Michael, is a total troublemaker, poor at academics but with strong social skills, which is completely contrary to the conservative values ​​of hard work.

His good friend Boner (meaning idiot) ended up serving as a soldier in the Marine Corps. The values ​​of big city liberals are clearly revealed in the backgrounds and stories of each character, subtly affecting the audience's perception.

.

Compared to Alex, the eldest son in "Family Ties", he is both hard-working and popular. He just likes to debate and promote conservative ideas sometimes.

It just so happens that this year is an election year, and the ratings of the two TV series have gone up and down. It is just the time to show off the political influence behind the TV station, and suddenly there is this damn strike... Now I have to use the "Tiger" TV series from the 1960s.

Fortunately, the rerun of this Cold War spy drama actually had good ratings.

On the one hand, NBC's "Family Ties" has seen its ratings plummet due to Michael J. Fox's shift of focus to movies. Their mainstay of evening ratings is the Late Show, and talk shows like The Late Show have no opposition to the strike.

so smart.

The news on their TV station is relatively tolerant to screenwriters, and they also interviewed some screenwriters on the spot. There was a father who had two children in high school. He had no income and just wanted to pawn his watch.

For a while, reporters were also very sad. This news aroused a response from the audience. Hollywood stars organized a fund-raising party for the screenwriters, which also broke through the resistance of the Producers Alliance. Under the organization of veteran actors such as Elizabeth Taylor,

, will take place next week.

The worst thing happened to NBC was David Letterman. During the strike, he really had no choice but to talk to a few regular guests and the band every day. He also performed in the studio shaving and shining shoes.

Haircut... I really have no choice.

The worst thing is that CNN's Larry King can answer the hotline calls from viewers all over the world, and he can somehow get through. But Letterman's show only has letters from viewers, and according to the definition of the Writers Guild, this kind of written text constitutes a program.

The main part of the content also belongs to the category of script.

David Letterman was so worried that he even called Ronald to ask someone to hire someone to fill up his time on the show. It just so happened that Brooke Shields still needed camera opportunities to maintain her popularity and make money. She had an awkward chat with Letterman alone.

One night.

However, the Writers Guild is not making any concessions this time. Letterman is making a request through the union (he is also a member of the Writers Guild) to personally hire writers to write for the show, which can bypass the terms of the strike (union members are not subject to restraint).

Employment of members affiliated with the Producers Alliance, Letterman is not a member of the Producers Alliance)."

Also relaxing are Hollywood projects whose scripts have already been written. While the Producers Union is using tactics to split the Writers Guild and pit upper- and lower-level members against each other, the Writers Guild is also looking for ways to split the Producers Union.

Everyone knows that it is very common to modify the script on the spot during filming. However, the Screenwriters Guild turns a blind eye to producers who meet the requirements and apply. As long as the exemption is approved, work can begin.

, and no longer send supervisors to supervise these crews.

Ronald has already approved the project, given the green light, and the script has been locked up and sent to the Writers Guild for filing. Only Emile Adolino's Return to the Twilight Zone (Chances Are), anyway, take advantage of it, Ronald's exemption application

It was quickly approved and became one of the first Hollywood film projects to resume filming.

…

On the edge of the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., is the colonial-style Georgetown. The scenery here is pleasant, and there is also the famous Georgetown University. "Back to the Twilight Zone" was filmed here.

The female entrepreneur played by Sybil Shepard has a house here. Today is the first day of filming, and Ronald came here specifically to support director Emile Adolino.

The producer had no seats on set, so Ronald wore sunglasses and stood up an apple box far behind the camera as a stool.

Already waiting for the lighting at the scene was Ryan O'Neal, who played the role of Philip, the heroine's friend who took care of their mother and daughter for twenty years after her fiancé died in a car accident.

This Peter Bogdanovich's favorite has been for many years, and the movies he has filmed have been dismal at the box office. He no longer has the power of the top three male stars in Hollywood. The conflict between him and his daughter Tatum O'Neal has also caused public confusion.

It’s hard to describe in just one sentence. The list of this handsome man’s love affairs is very long. In addition to the real Farrah Fassett, there are also Jacqueline Bisset, Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, and even Ronald.

Melanie Griffiths, the heroine of the movie and a good friend of her daughter Tatum, also had an affair with him.

But now he was down and out. When he saw Ronald, he immediately came up to say hello, "Peter (Bogdanovich) has told you many times. Only when I saw you in person did I feel that your reputation is not enough to express your strength."

"This role is very suitable for you. Emil recommended you to me. I trust him very much." Ronald shook hands with him and hugged him, and supported the director Emil by the way. "I haven't seen Peter for a while, and he is still here."

Okay?"

"Not bad. The last time I called him, he was very dissatisfied that De Laurentiis had withdrawn funding from the new film before it started shooting. But he needed the money and finished the film."

The two of them were standing and chatting in the sunshine. The two handsome guys stood there very seductively, attracting constant glances from some crew members.

"Sybil..." Ryan O'Neal saw the long-awaited heroine, the most famous Sybil Shepard. He had worked with her many times in Bogdanovich's films.

Bogdanovich slowly fell together. Now that Shepard has become popular again with the Blue Moonlight TV series, the gap between him and his opponent has widened.

"Ronald is here..." Ryan signaled Ronald's presence to Sybil.

"Oh, Ronald..." Sybil Shepherd changed her expression and came over to chat with Ronald enthusiastically, "I have done a lot of research on the heroine..."

"Don't tell me, I came today purely to complete my work. Emil is a great director, and his interpretation of the character is the best."

Ronald doesn't get involved in this kind of thing. All the actors in the crew are vying for the right to speak, especially the female stars. An extra close-up in front of the camera can make the audience's impression of themselves more profound.

Build a good relationship with the producer, especially a strong producer. Once you sit down on set, the director will obediently give himself more camera time.

Ronald made up his mind that he was here to give Emil a platform, and Emil would decide all the shooting matters.

Emile Adolino and Masterson, who played the daughter, also came in. He was most worried about Masterson's lack of acting experience, so he chatted with her for a while and tried to make her relax.

Ronald hugged and exchanged greetings with the two. He liked actors like Masterson very much. He focused entirely on character creation, listened to the director's arrangements, and didn't care much about anything else.

After Emil stood still, he negotiated with the lighting team. After everything was ready, he began to pull out the measuring tape to measure the focus.

"Where is little Robert?" Emil asked loudly when he realized that someone was missing.

This scene is the scene where Robert Downey Jr. comes to meet his girlfriend's mother and Uncle Philip. Everyone has finished moving, but Robert Downey Jr. is missing.

"Here it comes, here it comes." Robert Downey Jr., who was still a little staggered because of his hangover, ran in, and the makeup artist walked quickly behind him while touching up Downey's makeup.

"The opening party last night was so exciting..." Downey made a drinking gesture.

The scene fell into silence. Everyone didn't know what to do with this actor who caused trouble on the first day of filming. They all turned around and looked at Ronald.

Ronald put on his sunglasses, folded his arms naturally and said nothing.

Seeing that he did not comment, everyone turned their attention back to director Emile Adolino.

"Can you perform now?" Emil Adolino did not blame him for getting angry, but calmly asked Robert Downey Jr.'s current state.

"I don't have any problem. It would be better to drink a little on the set...hehe...uh...uh..."

Downey wanted to make a joke at first, but when he saw Emile Adolino's sharp eyes, he was a little scared...

Robert Downey Jr., who just won the title of "Hottest Actor of the Year" by "Rolling Stone Magazine", is a bit proud. He comes from an acting family. His acting skills are exquisite and his appearance has a yuppie-like sex appeal. So he doesn't take it too seriously.

This movie performance was taken very seriously and there was no difficulty for him.

He followed everyone's gaze and turned around to see Ronald behind him, feeling annoyed. This was the boss that his girlfriend Sarah Jessica Parker wanted to try to fawn over. Today's mistakes were all seen by the producers.

In my eyes, being written down is troublesome.

"I have no problem, you can try rehearsing my play." Downey began to please the director. As long as Emil approved of his performance, he could still fool him.

"Let's do a show."

Emile waves, and the mother, played by Sybil Shepard, feels familiar when she first sees her daughter's boyfriend, played by Downey, because he is the reincarnation of her dead fiancé.

This scene is quite difficult, because after all, it is the mother-in-law who sees her prospective son-in-law and thinks that he is her deceased lover, which is a very embarrassing emotion. Robert Downey Jr. wants to play a romantic comedy with an attractive drama actor.

It's a delicate balance to do before.

Using this scene to start the show shows that the director Emil is very confident and uses this scene to kill the actor's arrogance. But it is also possible... this first brother doesn't understand anything...

Ronald said nothing and pushed up his sunglasses with his hand. The producer's job is to judge the director's work results, not to jump to the front desk to take over everything.

Sure enough, Emil asked Sybil and Robert Jr. to rehearse several times and shot two scenes, but the results were not good. Either it was too comedy and seemed frivolous, or it was too serious and it seemed embarrassing.

Robert Downey Jr. seemed to be affected by something. After two NGs, he started to lose his temper. He kept sniffling, walked around the set, and muttered words that others could not hear.
To be continued...
