"That's no problem. We look 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 the public relations manager of the crew of "Gorillas in the Mist". Their movie also suffered from poor box office. If they can make some gains during the awards season, then in the international market, and video
In the market, it may gain more, and it may even be re-released in China.
Their marketing plan collided with that of "Working Girl". Fortunately, Sigourney Weaver played the leading role in Gorilla. This way, in terms of awards, it was staggered with the supporting actress of "Working Girl"
.Not only do the two sides have no conflict, they can also join forces to achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
Sigourney Weaver's agent also found Ronald through CAA. The two parties coordinated, maintained cooperation, and promoted together.
"Sigourney Weaver, from a female doctor who is a jungle gorilla researcher to a 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 is expected to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress."
Ronald looked at the copy of the joint hype between the two parties, and then signed the document. This was something that benefited both parties. As for the Oscars later, we will talk about it at that time.
After sending away his partners, Ronald complained to his public relations consultant, Michael Gray, "Why is there another problem with Melanie? I began to doubt 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 helpless. With such a mother, there was really nothing he could do.
Melanie Griffiths' mother, Tibby Hedlund, saw her daughter's interview, which made headlines in newspapers and magazines, and became a demon 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. She was in the reserve,
The animals learn a lot."
Tippi 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 her roles in "The Birds" and "The 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 banned them from being shown on any occasion.
This has 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 can access Hitchcock's works.
Finally got a chance and was remembered by reporters again. Tibby Hedlund talked a lot about Melanie Griffith's childhood. In her words, she said that her daughter was not very good. It seemed that she was compared with Tibby herself.
, my daughter is just a fat, backward, not too smart little chubby girl.
Only when she married Don Johnson (the first marriage, which was later annulled by Tibby Hedlund's lawsuit), she could surprise herself. She also said a lot of things about how Don Johnson was rude.
.
Melanie Griffiths was already mentally fragile. Under the supervision of Ronald and accompanied by her boyfriend Don Johnson, who was back together, Melanie Griffiths was in the stage of slowly recovering. Stimulated by her mother's various revealing words,
She locked herself in her room for another day without eating or drinking. Finally, her boyfriend Don Johnson found someone to break the lock and send her to the hospital for treatment.
Alas, 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.
It is her acting talent and dedication to study that make her acting ability much better than that of Nai's mother.
But Tibby's nonsense still made Ronald very angry. The media had forgotten about the topic from Miss Golden Globe to Best Actress. They were all filled with content about the Hitchcock girl saying that her daughter was a fat girl.
.The media space that came with real money and money for "public relations" was ruined by this old witch.
"Someone needs to tell Ms. Tippi Hedlund, if she continues to talk about her daughter without restraint, I will make her irresponsible and allow her daughter to live unprotected with wild beasts like lions, and she will eventually be attacked by wild beasts.
Speak out the matter..."
For a female star who has always had a man to help her because of her beauty, every time she suffered setbacks, the only way to make her understand is to threaten her to expose her unbeautiful side.
"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 dealt with the unnecessary trouble. He couldn't help but think that Diane's mother was also prettier than her (Diane's mother was a Playboy cover girl), and she had some problems with her daughter. It seems that this is
Common problems 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 the film in Los Angeles. The influence of "When Harry Met Sally" has been assembled for the first time and can be completed.
It just so happens that the inauguration ceremony of the commander-in-chief will be held soon in Washington, D.C. on the 20th. Ronald, who is invited, can take his family to attend the ceremony, and can also sit in the infield and watch old George's hand pressing up close.
Biblical proclamation scene.
…
"Aren't you going too?" Ronald arrived in New York and mentioned that they wanted to attend the inauguration ceremony together, but Diane expressed her unwillingness to go.
"Why, isn't Donna going too?" Diane was surprised that Donna was 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 go to Old George, an advocate of nuclear weapons.
The inauguration ceremony of the Xiang Party leader.
"Many actors in Hollywood don't like this commander-in-chief. Why don't you go? It's not always good to be seen..." Diane touched Ronald's lips with her hand. When she was only a few weeks old,
Her parents are divorced. Her mother has always been disapproving of her. Although her father loves her very much, he also paved the way for her to pursue a career in Hollywood...
But to say that I have my current status, the person I should be most grateful for is the man in front of me...
Seeing Diane smiling warmly, Ronald also stroked her arm, "I'm the director, it doesn't matter..."
If anything, Ronald didn't say that he contributed money and efforts because George Sr.'s future policies would have more preferential policies for big Hollywood artists like himself and rich people who made their fortunes in the capital market.
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 brought by his talent will be much reduced..."
In the evening, Ronald had dinner with Aunt Karen, Donna and Diane. What was shown on TV was the public farewell speech of the current commander-in-chief. For a commander-in-chief who is about to leave his post, the farewell speech also has such high ratings.
, is the best compliment for his governance over the past eight years.
"So, if we reduce taxes for the people, the people will be able to create more things than ever before..."
"That's so right..." Little Douglas, who came over to have a meal, heard this and applauded loudly. Anyway, old George vowed to continue the economic policy of the current commander-in-chief, and 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. No one could bear to part with the leader who led America out of its economic trough. Of course, there were many people who didn't like him, but these people did not dare to criticize Sr. Ronald's career directly.
Policies can only be made circumstantially.
"Hey, aunt, don't be angry, I just speak bluntly..." Little Douglas seemed very nervous, and even went to help bring coffee.
"It's okay, you are a good boy too..." Auntie 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 already arrived in Washington, D.C. It was estimated that 600,000 people would attend Friday's inauguration ceremony. This number was probably larger than the Jesus '88 event organized by the church last spring.
The number of people at the prayer meeting was even greater.
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 lining 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, since the assassination of Kennedy, few generals like to do this kind of thing. But maybe this kind of close-to-the-people feeling is good, and old George feels that he needs this kind of thing
Let’s increase our charm according to the occasion.
On Friday morning, the official swearing-in ceremony for George Herbert Walker will be held.
Ronald was wearing a coat and walked slowly toward the west side of Capitol Hill with his aunt who was dressed up for the occasion. He was holding an invitation with black letters on a gold background, a style that has continued 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 first Justice O'Connor presided over the oath-taking ceremony for 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. There.
After that, the 51st General Commander-in-Chief officially took office.
George Sr. comes from an orthodox New England political family, and he has restored many old practices. For example, he decided to personally recite the oath of the founding father George Washington like his idol, World War II veteran General Eisenhower.
Ronald held Aunt Karen on his arm, and the two of them slowly followed the crowd to the entrance of the infield. To enter the infield, you must have an invitation with gold and black letters.
There was a line of people queuing up, holding invitations in their hands to invite the Marines on guard to check, 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..."
"Morning... good...", Ronald clenched his hands and cracked his knuckles. How could this guy and Donna... still hide it from him...
Little Douglas came over to chat with his aunt. After listening to his grandfather's analysis, he concentrated on pursuing Donna, a highly intelligent woman who graduated from MIT and worked on Wall Street. He had been in constant contact with her in the past two years and finally made a breakthrough.
"Don't be like this..." Donna, who was holding Ronald's arm, hit him. Such a rough move was very disrespectful at the inauguration ceremony of the commander-in-chief.
Ronald was so angry that he had to look around. The scene was very orderly, and he couldn't see any baseball bats anywhere...
"Who is that?" Barbara's youngest son, Jeb, happened to be walking by the inner circle, and his wife, a dainty Hispanic immigrant, asked the tall, handsome man outside looking around in Spanish.
"Humph..." Jeb felt unhappy. If it hadn't been 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 in his ear.
A few sentences.
"Sir, your invitation..."
Aunt Karen and little Douglas had already entered the inner circle. Just when it was Ronald's turn, the Marine who was checking the invitation was called over and left because of something.
After waiting for a minute, another staff member wearing a suit and glasses finally came and continued to let people go. Ronald quickly took out his invitation and handed it to the other person.
After receiving Ronald's invitation, the other party apologized to him sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I came to take over this position temporarily. The Marine Corps boys came in. The new commander-in-chief wanted to say a few words to them. I don't
If you know where the list is, let me go over and get it."
With that said, the polite young man walked inside with Ronald's invitation and disappeared around the corner.
…
"Sir, your invitation." A few minutes later, the Marines who had just left came back and reached out to Ronald for the invitation.
"No, your companion, a young man wearing a suit and glasses, has already checked the list..." Ronald replied, pointing to the back.
"I'm sorry. The Marine Corps is responsible for today's ceremony. I can only ask you to leave, sir."
The Marine Corps buddy took half a step forward and blocked Ronald's sight.
"I...you ask them, my invitation has been taken away by a civil servant..." Ronald asked the people in the team, asking them to testify, "How about you give me a list of names? My name is Ronald.
De…Ronald Lee.”
The friend behind him shrugged and said he didn't see it.
Before Ronald could tell, the Marine Corps soldiers had already isolated him aside, "Sir, I'm sorry, according to the regulations, you must leave first... If there is any matter, I can wait for my supervisor to come and deal with it. Do you think it's okay?"
?”
Although he was polite, Ronald still didn't know that his tickets had been defrauded. Donna cheered him up and said, "It's okay. We didn't really want to see it when we came. My mother can go in."
"Humph..." Ronald knew that talking more would be useless, so he turned around and left.
…
"Doug..." George Jr., another son of the commander-in-chief, came over to say hello.
Little Douglas, who was already sitting on the seat with Aunt Karen in the inner circle, quickly stood up and hugged him.
"Where's Ronald?" Little George looked around. Why hasn't this great campaigner arrived yet? The ceremony will start in half an hour.
"We were outside the door just now..." Aunt Karen also became anxious.
"Sir, is your ticket from here?" Little Douglas had sharp eyes. When he saw a young man wanting to sit in the seat that should have belonged to Ronald, he immediately asked him politely.
"Oh, it was Okun who gave me the ticket. He said the guests here won't be coming today."
"Okun gave you the vote?" George received confirmation from the other party and immediately knew what was going on. Okun is the manager of the campaign team led by his younger brother Jeb.
"It's okay. I'll call Ronald's hotel. It'll be okay. After the inauguration ceremony, my father will go to the National Air and Space Museum to attend the election ball, and my mother will dance with him then.
.”
Little George hurriedly went to make a phone call. Aunt Karen saw something was wrong and asked little Doug the whole story. As an ordinary person, she also felt that it was unfair to treat Ronald like this, and she also didn't like the new commander-in-chief anymore.
…
"Although my dancing is not good-looking, I still want to take the risk and invite a beauty, Barbara, to dance with her for her first dance after becoming the first lady..."
After the inauguration ceremony, and then waving to the people along the street, Old George finally arrived at the Aerospace Museum. The price of face was that he didn't eat anything along the way. In order to have an image of being close to the people, and he couldn't be perfunctory, Old George was a little a little bit embarrassed when he arrived at the museum.
Tired and sweaty.
"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. The first one was brought here by her son George Jr., and she was with Ronald first.
Jump a bit.
"This kind of thing happens all the time. I was watching live TV outside, and it was a close-up shot, and I could see the demeanor of the leading students in T&T more clearly." Ronald had already listened to little George's explanation, and could only express his dissatisfaction in a vague way.
"Good boy, we have a long way to go..." Barbara still values Ronald very much. But it is her beloved little son who is teasing him. Doing the first dance with him like this should be able to put Ronald at ease.
……Bar?
Of course, Ronald was not relieved. It was a minor matter that he saw the inauguration ceremony live, but being humiliated like this without any expression made him very uncomfortable. Only little George was quite interesting to him.
"I'm going back to New York first. You guys can attend the dinner here..." Donna wanted to accompany little Doug, so Ronald excused himself as he was busy with film editing and left first.
"Ronnie..." Aunt Karen tried to persuade her to stay, but to no avail, "Hey, this thing has caused so much trouble... I'll just go back."
"It's okay, Auntie, please spend more time with Donna and little Doug. It's a rare moment to get together..." Ronald motioned to his aunt not to get excited. This matter has nothing to do with them. It was the first time for little Doug and Donna to attend such a formal event.
Aunt Lun should be happy.
Ronald did not participate in any celebrations and rushed back to New York overnight. The largest country in the Western world and the largest leader's inauguration event probably had no one to comfort the wounded heart of a young man.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ronald didn’t want to beg for mercy here, so he just said hello to little George and left in the car.
"Actually, the Commander-in-Chief is a good man. His son is really..."
The person who came to pick up Ronald was the driver, Little Bud. He was in the driver's seat. Seeing that Ronald was silent, he started to chat about it.
"How do you know he is a good person?" Ronald asked stiffly, he was still unhappy.
"Hey, forgotten inauguration ceremonies always invite singers to sing. Today's soldiers are from our Marine Corps. I know the black soldier who sang, and he also served in Okinawa." Little Bud was not impressed by Old George.
No bad feelings.
Ronald stopped talking. Little Bud was right. This was mainly a personal grudge between Jeb and his campaign consultant.
In fact, apart from the tax cut policy, I have no one and no one to turn to old George for. Are these people the ones who rely on the White House to make money?
There was no conversation all the way, but Ronald still went to find Diane. The two went shopping in Manhattan and had a happy weekend.
…
"Have you brought the high-definition master tape I asked for?" 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 on professional Sony equipment.
"That's right, right here, 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 video tapes, and the picture does not jitter or blur when paused. He faced the faces of the audience on the stage one by one.
"There are also shots from the back, also from the auditorium..." Ten minutes later, Ovitz ordered his secretary to switch to the shots after the inauguration ceremony.
Taking off his glasses and wiping them, Ovitz felt like tears were about to flow from his eyes.
There were rumors in the CAA that Ronald had been preparing to launch an offensive against him. Ronald had a good relationship with the commander-in-chief and would attend the inauguration ceremony. He did not dare to make any mistakes and had to confirm it in person before he could rest assured.
"Do you have any 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, they were also very sensitive.
You can't be too careful about this kind of thing. After watching for a long time, there was indeed no one who looked like Ronald in the stands.
Is this really a rumor? Created by some people to mislead themselves?
