"Brooke Shields' financial situation is so bad that she might not even be able to keep her house in New Jersey." Richard found out Brooke's financial situation in just a few clicks.
"Her stupid mother spent a lot of money to buy out the distribution rights of the last movie 'Brenda Starr', thinking that she could use the fame of 007 Timothy Dutton to return to the mainstream. Who knew?
…”
"Hey...", Ronald sighed. Brooke's mother Terry was really a disaster. This comic adaptation of Brenda Starr was cut in half by theaters after only a few days of screening, with a total box office of only
More than $60,000.
Timothy Dutton's reputation has also been greatly affected. The new 007 film "License to Kill" released in the summer only had a box office of more than 30 million in America, and the box office in Britain also dropped a lot compared to the previous film.
Seeing that this old-themed spy film was no longer a hit, MGM further reduced its production, and there were rumors that this would be the last of the 007 series.
"If Brooke can find a normal agent and find a way to find some advertising endorsement business for her, let him tide over the difficulties. Otherwise, no matter how much money she makes, her mother will lose all her money..." Ronald was about to talk to her.
As Richard continued to discuss, Diane's voice came over.
"Honey! Honey!"
Ronald heard Diane calling him, winked at Richard, and immediately replied, "I'm coming..."
…
"Ronnie, they want me to be an advertising spokesperson, but I'm pregnant and can't be on camera..." It turns out that Diane asked Ronald to come up with the idea.
Sony and Diane became very familiar with each other because of the food delivery. After going back and forth, some Japanese businessmen saw this opportunity and asked someone from the CEO's office to introduce them to Diane.
Because Diane Lane's showgirl image in "Streets of Rage" is very famous in Japan, coupled with Capcom's arcade games, it has cooperated with the promotion of Diane's image in the movie. Now many comics in Japan are
The heroines all began to imitate Diane's dressing style.
This time, they are the dealers of Nestle Coffee in Japan. They want to ask Diane to be the spokesperson of Nestle Coffee in the Japanese market. The main idea is that housewives can make it very convenient for their husbands to drink delicious coffee.
"I think it's good. You look very photogenic when you're pregnant..." Ronald thinks it's good. It's good to be able to maintain Diane's image in Japan. In addition, she's a little bit pregnant, and
Loose clothes can't cover it up, but they can just tell the Japanese audience that Diane is Ronald's wife. If necessary, he can also appear on the scene.
"I don't want it, I don't look good when I'm pregnant..." Diane covered her face, her face was a little swollen. Not to mention TV ads, print ads are not suitable... Besides, it's so convenient for housewives to make coffee, are you sure you're not blackmailing them?
me?
"You've also heard that my wife doesn't want to appear like this. Let's wait until you come back next year..." Ronald supported Diane's decision. Anyway, Capcom's profits and the dividends from several movies,
It was all transferred to Diane's name, and she now has enough private money.
"Ah, it's really such a pity..." The two Japanese businessmen bowed and apologized. People in the Japanese market like American female stars as endorsements, but there are not many famous female stars in Hollywood in Japan. This time it started out badly.
Make it difficult for them.
Ronald was moved, so he accompanied the two businessmen out, and then introduced Richard to them. Then he said a few words in Richard's ear.
"Tell me, should I start practicing yoga?" Ronald, who returned to the living room, saw Diane touching his face and becoming distressed.
"If you want, just practice as much as you want, don't tire yourself out..." Ronald said that no matter what kind of figure Diane becomes, he still loves her.
"Humph, Demi (Moore) told me a lot of experience, men are all duplicitous." Diane made up her mind to learn from Demi Moore and start practicing some calisthenics for pregnant women to prepare for postpartum recovery.
"Whatever you want, it's fine." Ronald accompanied Diane to see the doctor. Anyway, the doctor didn't object to normal exercise. As long as Diane was in a good mood, she could do whatever she wanted.
…
"Thank you, Demi..."
A few days later, at the premiere of "Look Who's Talking" in front of the Beverly Hills Cinema in Los Angeles, Ronald thanked Demi Moore who came with Bruce Willis.
During this period, Demi often came to his house and became best friends with Diane. It happened that Diane didn't have many relatives and friends in Los Angeles, so having an actress of the same age chatting with her was very beneficial to her mood.
"Ronald, thank you..." The person who thanked Ronald was Bruce Willis. Today he and Demi Moore appeared at the premiere together, and they were in a very good mood.
In this movie directed by Amy Heckerling, he did not appear in the scene, but only voiced the baby in the heroine's belly. However, both in terms of income and the degree of popularity among reporters today, he is higher than the leading actor John Travolta.
A grade.
When John Travolta was a popular star in Hollywood, Bruce Willis was still working on the TV station, and he once dreamed of replacing Travolta. Now his dream has come true, and with it, Travolta's star popularity has dropped to his own.
Under the title, the pride in my heart is beyond words.
"I never thought that a movie that I spent a weekend dubbing could bring me such good profits, Ronald." Bruce Willis is still filming "Die Hard 2"
In the process, he now positions himself as Ronald's good friend. This kind of speaking tone is simply beyond the reach of Travolta.
"Ronald, let me introduce to you, this is my best partner, Olivia Newton-John."
Sure enough, John Travolta came to chat with Ronald, and his tone of voice was much more flattering than Bruce Willis. He also had a feeling of awe for Ronald. This made Willis very satisfied. I am now
But it's different from you... He smiled slightly, not wanting to compete with such a second-rate star, and dragged Demi Moore into the cinema.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hello, Miss Olivia, I am your fan..." Ronald saw the Australian singer who collaborated with John Travolta in "Grease"
Olivia, smiled and greeted her.
Olivia Newton-John has been away from Hollywood for a long time and is now married. This time she and her husband came to the premiere to promote the new song. She looked at Ronald with emotion, "Back then"
"Grease 2" If Travolta is willing to appear, it will probably be directed by Ronald, and she might also have a chance to become famous in Hollywood...
The entertainment industry is a place where fame and fortune are pursued. Although John Travolta is the leading actor in the movie, the photojournalists are more pursuing Olivia Newton-John and the already gone Bruce Willis couple. This
This made John Travolta very uncomfortable, and his fake smile gradually became dull.
In addition, the TV reporter who interviewed him on the spot only asked two questions to him, but asked many questions to his former female partner Olivia Newton-John and his wife. As a singer, she
Gained more attention than Travolta.
"Humph..." John Travolta ran into the cinema. His somewhat outdated Italian trademark big oily head shined particularly brightly under the light. This time the movie "Look Who's Talking" was being previewed in the theater.
It received good reviews at the time, but Samsung's distribution department is not as strong as Paramount and Universal. It was recently acquired by Sony together with Columbia...
Travolta hoped that he could make a comeback with this movie, but his reason told him that there was little hope.
In short, just don't lose money like the previous three movies in a row. With another movie that loses money, Travolta will almost be abandoned by Hollywood.
Previously, he collaborated with Olivia Newton-John again after "Grease", and Fox canceled the film contract with him due to the loss. After two movies, Columbia and Paramount were unwilling to make any films starring him.
Movie.
"Hey..." John Travolta sighed as he lit a cigarette by himself. He didn't dare to walk in to see the screening of his movie.
"Can I borrow a fire?" A beautiful woman appeared in front of Qu Fu.
Travolta was surprised that there were still beautiful women willing to talk to him. He took a closer look and saw that Kelly Preston was also a Hollywood actor. Like him, she had shot several movies that lost money in a row, and her stardom in Hollywood was basically the same.
cut off.
"Of course..." Travolta handed over his cigarette, Kelly Preston took it, and lit his own. The two of them started puffing away in a corner of the theater.
Kelly Preston can also be regarded as a representative actress who was forced to be exposed. After 1984, many of the movies she shot were completely in vain. Fortunately, she could only play supporting actresses. In addition,
Serving at the Scientology Center, you can still take on one play every year to maintain your career as an actor.
Her last film was "The Expert" in which the male protagonist was John Travolta. The production cost was 13 million, and the U.S. box office was less than 200,000...
My own stardom was not smooth, and my plan to find a celebrity boyfriend through Scientology also failed. I had previously dated the handsome actor George Clooney through Scientology activities, but his acting career was not as successful as my own.
It's completely impossible to get to the top by relying on him. It's ridiculous to say that the most expensive gift George Clooney gave her was a Vietnamese pot-bellied pet pig...
Two frustrated men and women were puffing away in the aisle of the theater. They were both handsome men and beautiful women, and they gradually fell in love with each other. However, how should I put it? They didn't want to develop any relationship. Their careers were already in such a bleak state, and they had to find a way to turn themselves around.
.
Early the next morning, Kelly Preston got up from the bed, left a note, and left Travolta's apartment. She still had to go to the Scientology Center to work as an examiner, and now the beauty of the Scientology Center
The density has increased significantly after Tom Cruise moved in. Everyone wants to be the next Mimi Rogers. Now they have to wait and compete for a Hollywood star.
John Travolta slept until noon. When he saw that the beauty had disappeared, he began to feel bad. He bought a few bottles of wine and started drinking in a dark way.
"John, John..." At noon on Monday, a man in a suit and leather shoes came to Travolta's door and started knocking on the door.
This was Travolta's agent. He got the box office statistics in the morning and immediately called Travolta several times, but no one answered, so he went directly to his door and started breaking down the door.
"Is there a problem?"
John Travolta opened the door and let in the agent. He didn't know why he came so early. Do he want to increase the number of audience meetings? Is it necessary for such a baby movie to do so many things?
"John, you are going to become famous. Last night's box office statistics came out. It will exceed 10 million in the first weekend. John, you are going to become a big star again!"
"Are you kidding me?" John Travolta's sleepiness was swept away. He stared at his agent with wide eyes. Can a baby movie like this have a box office of 10 million in its first weekend?
"It exceeded 12 million, and the box office of a single theater was more than 10,000. This is the best opening weekend result in the past ten years since Grease!"
"You mean, I've become a big star again?" Travolta looked at his agent nervously, and after receiving reaffirmation, he began to rummage in the desk and drawers.
"Hey, what are you looking for?" The agent started to get nervous as he looked at it, "I took this role for you, you don't want to replace me, do you?"
"Where did you think you went? I was looking for the contact information of the beauty on the premiere day. Where the hell did I throw it?"
…
"Amy, the box office and reviews of this movie exceeded everyone's expectations. Mr. Frank Price from Sony called me and asked if you are interested in continuing to direct the sequel? The compensation will increase significantly.
And the plot is also dominated by you..."
At the same time, Ronald found the director, Amy Heckerling, to talk about the sequel of the movie. Frank Price has officially become an executive of the merged Sony-Columbia, and the CEO selection Guber still needs to fulfill his duties.
The formalities for his production company to be acquired by Sony have not yet been completed.
So Frank Price wisely avoided the Columbia Pictures project, but he felt lucky that such a group of box office dark horses suddenly appeared at TriStar, which had nothing left. After the report, he immediately started working on the sequel.
"Oh, Ronald, it's really great, like a dream come true..." Amy Heckerling was very happy and hugged Ronald. She was competing with him to be the director of the movie. It was really
Such a lack of vision. If I had settled for a supporting role, maybe I would be the right-hand man of his company now?
"However, the first part has exhausted all my screenwriting materials, so I have to find another professional screenwriter to cooperate with for the second part." Heikelin returned to the topic.
"You agreed? Let your agent talk to Mr. Price. I remember your husband is also a screenwriter?"
"Oh, thank you, thank you..." Amy Heckerling thanked her repeatedly. This was giving her a chance.
"Don't be like this, movies make money, and I also make money... I will go to London first this time. If the box office continues to be a big hit, I will try to distribute the movie to Britain and Europe. You can also go to London for a premiere next year.
Mode……"
After saying that, Ronald went home to have dinner with Diane. A few hours later, he took the suitcases that Diane had packed, got on a business jet, and flew to London to attend the royal premiere of "When Harry Met Sally."
