The road turned into strange undulating symbols, and there were cars on fire in the distance, emitting thick black smoke. Some high-end cars nearby were also beeping with anti-theft alarms.
The entire earthquake process has passed, Ronald and the other three were not injured, but everyone was a little shaken, and the road was paralyzed, making it impossible to drive back.
"There is no signal. I think the car phone signal in the entire San Francisco and Bay Area is dead..." Dan, the bodyguard, put down the phone receiver and said to Ronald.
"Where's the radio?" Little Bud was turning the radio button in front of the driver's seat. The local FM radio was all silent, and the shortwave radio was also interfered with, and only some vague sounds could be heard.
"We need to move to a safe place. I don't know if there will be big aftershocks. We have to avoid the highway... There are cracks here..."
"Let's go back quickly. I don't know if anyone on the crew was injured..." Ronald didn't dare to think any more... He, Little Bud and Dan made a prompt decision, took some food and drinks from the car and headed back.
On the way, they encountered a phone booth on the roadside. Little Bud tried it, but none of them could make a call. It seemed that all telephone calls in San Francisco had been cut off.
The three of them were in good physical condition and quickly walked back to the hotel in the city center. Ronald found that all the crew members had been evacuated from the hotel and were staying in the open-air courtyard.
"Ronald, you're okay, great, great..." Director Garry Marshall shouted out when he saw Ronald. After the crew evacuated from the earthquake, everyone counted them up one by one according to the roster.
Without Ronald alone, I was extremely worried.
"Is everyone okay?" Ronald looked at the people in the yard, and some people came down in their pajamas.
"Everyone is here and everything is fine. Only one member of the camera crew was hit by equipment and suffered scratches. People from the hotel have already helped deal with it..."
"Have you contacted someone from Disney?" Ronald knew that at this time, the news of the earthquake must have spread throughout America. Maybe Katzenberg from Disney Company, plus the agents of several stars, had
Already extremely anxious.
"No, all communications in San Francisco have been interrupted..."
At this time, a siren sounded outside the gate, and everyone looked outside. A police car stopped, and a uniformed police officer began to broadcast through the car loudspeaker:
"Citizens, we are the SFPD. There has been an earthquake in the Bay Area, and communications and electricity have temporarily failed. Please stay calm, stay calm. We are working with other public forces to make full efforts to repair..."
"The top priority now is to contact Hollywood..." Ronald quickly judged the point.
"Boss, I know that this Fairmont Hotel was built before World War II, and it should still have emergency radio communication equipment. I will discuss it with the people at the hotel. It is possible to contact the private channel of the radio enthusiasts and pass the information on.
Reached out to my old friends in Los Angeles."
"I asked little Bud to go with you..." Ronald was overjoyed, and the two former disciplinary forces men rushed to the hotel office.
"Honey, I'm scared to death..."
Ronald was interrupted from his thoughts by a greasy voice. He saw that it was Cindy Crawford. She was the one who ran downstairs in her pajamas. She was barefoot and nestled against Richard Key.
In your arms, I looked like a little bird clinging to you.
"You don't have to be afraid when I'm here..." Richard Gere hugged Cindy Crawford and maintained his masculine image. He was frightened just now, and it was Cindy Crawford who came out of the bathroom.
She rushed out of the house and pulled him to run downstairs while getting dressed. After this frightening and tense moment, the relationship between the two broke through the barrier and they were no longer bothered by any foreign objects.
Just now, Richard Gere felt that Cindy Crawford's bravery saved his life. He had already made a decision to announce the identity of Crawford's regular girlfriend in Hollywood. This woman was in a critical moment.
, the first one came to hold her hand, which shows that she really puts herself first in her heart...
When Ronald saw this situation, he also thought of the woman who flashed through his mind when he just discovered the earthquake. Of course Diane was the first one, then Helen, then relatives Aunt Karen and Donna, and then...
…I didn’t expect that I would still think of her at the moment of life and death…
"Uh, uh, uh... Lu, Lunado" Ronald heard someone's upper and lower teeth trembling behind him, making an inarticulate sound. He turned around and saw that it was the heroine.
Julia Roberts could only stand there alone, holding her arms to comfort herself. Her boyfriend, Kiefer Sutherland, did not accompany her to San Francisco. Now all communications are interrupted, and she is scared to death, and there is no
People can be relied on.
"Julia, are you okay?" Ronald discovered that Roberts was shaking like a sieve of sand. Everyone at the scene was in shock, but no one came to ask about the heroine's condition.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm scared to death... I thought I was going to die just now..." Julia Roberts finally waited for the comfort of a man, hugged Ronald, buried her head on his shoulder and cried out.
"It's okay, my bodyguard has already gone to get in touch. We will be in touch with Hollywood soon. I promise, after the traffic is restored, I will take everyone home..." Ronald saw everyone around him frightened.
I was so upset that I quickly cheered everyone up.
"Hey..." Everyone at the scene looked over. Ronald felt that it was inappropriate to hold the crying heroine, so he quickly helped Julia Roberts sit down, and then shouted, "Where is Julia's assistant?"
By the time the assistant, who was so frightened that she was trembling, came over, Julia Roberts had returned to normal. When she saw Richard Gere hugging Crawford's ears and temples next to her, she was so angry that she made up her mind to let him go.
My boyfriend comes here to save face.

"Daniel has contacted my old colleague. He is a professional radio amateur, but he said that Ken must be monitoring the earthquake now. He will call your agent, Mr. Niceta, about our situation, and then also call
Your wife is safe..."
"Huh..." Ronald let out a long breath.
After many contacts, Niceta and Paula had arrived at Ronald's house. Diane remembered that her husband had said that if there was anything, she could go to Sony's Dahe office for help. She quickly took the two of them to get through Sony's phone.
Sony's CEO office immediately dispatched capable personnel from the company headquarters, rented a rescue helicopter, and flew directly from a nearby city to the hotel lawn.
"Ronald San, we have brought two Inmarsat maritime satellite phones. You can call any landline in America... If you need it, we can also use helicopters to evacuate you and important personnel first. Bay
The airports in the district are closed, and only helicopters can take off and land..."
"I will advance and retreat together with everyone here..."
"Ha Yi, we understand..." The person who came in motioned to his subordinates to report the news of finding Ronald to the office via satellite phone as soon as possible.
“How much does this satellite phone cost per minute?”
"For $3 a minute, all states in America can be connected..."
"Give everyone on the crew a chance to make a phone call. Each person will have one minute to call to report that they are safe..." Ronald heard that the price was not expensive and immediately asked them to arrange it.
A suitcase was opened and the antenna was installed. After a period of debugging, the Sony person handed over a very bulky telephone receiver with a dial button, "First dial 01, the Los Angeles area code..."
"Hello, Diane, I'm Ronald."
"Oh, Ronnie, are you okay?"
Diane, accompanied by Paula Wagner, already knew the news about Ronald's safety. She was not panicked at all. She watched CNN's live report, and then called New York from time to time to comfort Ronald.
Relatives.
"I'm okay, are you okay? I have to be here with the crew, and it may not be possible until tomorrow to evacuate San Francisco."
"It's okay. I've already contacted Aunt Karen and Donna. I'll tell them your news in a moment..."
"Okay, take care of yourself, I'll be back soon..."
Ronald said a few words, hung up the phone when he saw that the time was almost up, and then asked director Garry Marshall and several main actors to make calls. Another phone was also set up for other staff to line up.
Everyone made phone calls and their moods obviously improved, and even Julia Roberts returned to smiling.
Ronald waited until everyone had made a round of calls, then picked up the receiver and dialed Helen Slater's number.
"Helen...it's me."
"Oh, God, you scared me to death. I was watching a baseball game with my dad just now, but the live broadcast screen disappeared, and I heard the audience screaming... I was scared crazy, and no one could find you.
Fortunately, Donna called me just now to tell me that you were fine..."
"Yes, the calls in San Francisco have been cut off. I called you using a satellite phone. There was a queue, so I had to wait for a long time..."
The two comforted each other for two minutes, and then Ronald hung up the phone and let the main actors continue.
Ronald asked the hotel waiter for a pack of cigarettes to smoke. After the crew finished playing, some hotel staff and tourists also wanted to use the satellite phone, but they had to pay for it themselves. Hearing the price, a big crowd
The staff all chose not to fight.
It is said that the person you think of at the moment of life and death is the most important person in your life. Ronald did not expect that he would actually think of three women with whom he had been bound in such a short period of time.
But for the third one, he didn't want to make a call now. He might as well wait until he got home and ask Richard to investigate the situation.
By noon the next day, the hotel's power lines had been restored, and we no longer had to endure the humming noise of the generator. The TV and radio stations had resumed broadcasting, but the phone was still not connected.
Bodyguard Dan got the news that all three airports near San Francisco have resumed takeoffs and landings, but the runways at San Francisco International Airport and Oakland Airport were severely damaged, with only 20% of their usual takeoff and landing capacity.
Sony arranged for a plane to fly to San Jose Airport, which had minimal damage. The crew rented several hotel buses at high prices, and the entire crew evacuated San Francisco as quickly as possible.
After one night, the general situation has become clear. The earthquake was about magnitude 7, and the epicenter was very close to a densely populated area. But luckily, the earthquake happened just as the two major baseball teams in the Bay Area were competing for the MLB championship.
The highways and urban viaducts that were very congested during the rush hour were empty. The total number of victims was only about two hundred.
"Kiefer..."
The business jet taken by Ronald and the main crew members arrived at the Los Angeles Airport first, and Julia Roberts' boyfriend, Kiefer Sutherland, showed up at the airport. He was waiting at the bridge with a group of bodyguards, and he almost
Caused congestion.
Julia Roberts ran over quickly, hugged her boyfriend and spun around in circles. Many people at the airport were looking at them, and many recognized them as actors. Some people clapped, thinking they were filming a movie.
.
On the other side, Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford were also picked up by their agent. From beginning to end, the two were intertwined with each other during the journey...
Who would have thought? The crew, which was originally at war with each other, suddenly ended up with the conflict between men and women after an earthquake.
Ronald was also very happy. He saw Diane coming to pick him up with a big belly. He quickly took her hand and kissed her on the mouth.
The accident finally passed safely, and Ronald brought the entire crew back.
"Ronald, thank you. I didn't sleep well last night and almost asked someone to prepare an obituary..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Disney’s Katzenberg was the first person to know about the earthquake that hit the crew. After he learned the magnitude of the earthquake, he was very worried, fearing that something would happen to a certain star. Fortunately, he got Luo
After receiving Nader's notice, he breathed a sigh of relief, so when Ronald came back, he even came to express his gratitude in person.
"I was almost scared..." Ronald was still frightened and kept talking about his adventures, but it was Diane who stabbed him.
"Sorry, I'm probably still in the stress reaction period, so I can't stop talking. The crew needs to repair it for a few days, but the San Francisco Opera House has been severely damaged by the earthquake. When we came back, we saw cracks on the exterior wall.
…”
"There is no problem. Disney can contact the History Museum of the University of Southern California. That building is an old-fashioned stone building before World War II. It is very suitable for filming the exterior of the opera house."
After chatting with Disney's Katzenberg, Ronald wrote a special letter to thank Sony's CEO, then signed it with his own hand and asked someone in his office to forward his thanks.
With Ronald at home, Diane felt much more at ease. After staying with him for a while, she went to bed first because she was sleepy.
Ronald gently closed the door, walked to the living room, and talked to several daydreaming executives sitting there about business matters that required his personal intervention, such as the special children's film "Guess Who's Here"
"Speak" will be released soon. And "When Harry Met Sally" will have its Royal Premiere in London at the end of the month.
After signing the documents one by one, the executives left one by one. In the end, only Ronald's most caring agent, Richard, was left.
"Please help me find out why Brooke can only accept low-end ads now? What is her financial situation?" Ronald lowered his voice and ordered him, and then he added, "If her mother is still here
If you want to be her manager, don’t have any contact with her first..."
