Chapter 317 Game of jockeying for seats

"Mr. Golan, you look completely different from the Hollywood producers we remember, right?"

On NBC's Late Night Show with David Letterman, Minahan Golan was invited to be tonight's guest. Host Letterman showed his signature smile and opened the evening show's interview with a joking statement.

Ronald and David Letterman have a very good relationship. The governor of Arkansas played the saxophone on Johnny Carson's show before, which caused a sensation among the public. Letterman was also jealous of the ratings he brought, so he asked

Come to Ronald.

Ronald also contacted Governor Bill's public relations manager, and the handsome governor, who also wanted to build momentum for the governor's re-election next year, agreed to play his saxophone on NBC again.

The two helped each other, and Ronald helped coordinate many guests who could not be invited, or who wanted to squeeze into Letterman's show. Ronald also took Letterman's needs into consideration when choosing guests.

Putting him in a difficult position can boost ratings.

Therefore, this time Minahan Golan was on the show, Letterman was very helpful and made an exception to let him jump in line and enter the show.

"Ah, quack, yes. I am different from them, because they don't work hard enough and hang out on the golf course and tennis court every day, but I work hard every hour every day to make movies, so I can't lose weight.

Fat……"

Although Minahan is a rough man, he still has a lot of sense of humor. He attributed his obesity to overwork, which aroused laughter from the audience.

"There is a saying that you are the first producer in Hollywood to offer a star a salary of tens of millions of dollars..." Letterman heard the news from his assistant through the earphones that the ratings had begun to rise, and the corners of his smile gradually became...

rise up.

"Yes, stars... Let me tell you, Hollywood stars are also very lazy. They only make one movie a year or two every three years. What about the rest of the time? Phew, fly to Europe, London, Caribbean vacation...

If you want me to say, they should make more movies like us. I give money because they make more movies... quack quack..."

The topic gradually slipped into an outrageous direction, but Minahan's nonsense is very popular with the public. Why do those stars get tens of millions of dollars for making a movie? They should be like us, work more to get more money

, this is only fair.

Minahan successfully boasted that he was a taskmaster with a whip, urging these lazy directors and actors to make more movies. His reasons were also very deceptive. In the golden age of Hollywood, the output of movies was more than it is now.

Er Duo. Stars at that time were too embarrassed to go out unless they made two or three movies every year.

"We all love to watch Batman now. I heard that your next movie will also be an adaptation of a comic book? I don't know which character it is?" Seeing that the time was almost up, Letterman asked Ronald's question.

"Quack, our company has the rights to adapt two Marvel comics. I can say that they are movies as important as Batman..."

"Is it convenient to disclose it?"

"One can spin silk, and the other has four people..."

"Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four?"

"Oh..." The two names Letterman mentioned were recognized by Minahan, and the audience below began to cheer. Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four have a wide audience, and many of today's young people loved them when they were young.

These two comics.

"Batman is a big production, with a shooting budget of close to 50 million US dollars..." Letterman started laughing again, joking that Minahan wouldn't make a low-budget exploitation film, right?

"I made the fourth Superman movie... even though it didn't do well at the box office... but I still invested tens of millions of dollars..." Minahan began to boast that he was also able to make big-invested movies. "The reason why the movie didn't start is because of Marvel's Stan

·Lee had doubts about making big-investment movies, so I just appealed to him, Stan... Believe me, if you want to make Spider-Man and Fantastic Four now, everyone will invest..."

"Oh oh..." the audience started shouting again.



"Can he really get Marvel's extension of the adaptation rights by making such a public appeal?" Diane changed into her pajamas and prepared to go to bed. Seeing Minahan on the TV, she turned around and asked Ronald.

"It's like a jockeying game, and no one wants to be the one who stops comic book fans from seeing Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four on the screen. Now Minahan has taken the blame and it's Stan Lee and Marvel and all those guys.

How can a major studio that wants to adapt a comic book into a movie grab the remaining chairs... Anyway, there will always be someone who doesn't have a chair to sit on..."

Ronald smiled, Minahan is not an idiot. If he wants to sell the adaptation rights at a high price, he must first build momentum for the bid. If he can pressure Marvel and Stan Lee to nod through comic fans, those who are waiting will

The major studios whose adaptation rights have expired cannot sit still.

"Well...that's it, it feels so complicated..." Diane combed her hair twice with a comb, then went to bed, "I have to go to bed early, otherwise my face will be swollen again..."

"Who would take photos like this? I will send all your photos to those I have seen. Don't send any that don't look good..." After Ronald acquired the New York Daily News, he was already an insider in the media circle, so he enjoyed it.

The treatment of media bosses. Some reports about him and his family must be notified to him first and he can nod before they can be published.

"Ronnie, you are so kind...we can see our old friends again tomorrow..." Diane hugged Ronald's neck and quickly fell asleep.



"Ronald, Diane..." Shirley MacLean shouted at the Los Angeles Airport, coming to say hello to Diane.

"Where are Sally and Olympia?"

"Where?" Shirley MacLean pointed to the back. Sally Field, Olympia Dukakis, a few actors from "Steel Magnolias" were there, and another one was attending the London premiere.

Young actor Julia Roberts speaks, flanked by her boyfriend, Kiefer Sutherland.

Diane saw the actors who played the old sisters in "Steel Magnolias" and greeted them happily.

The members who went to attend the royal premiere in London this time all brought their husbands or partners. So it was like a family tour group. Ronald did not talk about the movie, but only about life and children.

Among these old sisters in Steel Magnolias, only Dolly Parton has no time to come together because of her music career. The remaining three actresses are all Oscar winners, and they are not eager to ask for help from Ronald.

Role.

When they saw Ronald's behavior, they all secretly gave a thumbs up. Such a husband is difficult to find in Hollywood. At least, it is much better than Julia Roberts's macho boyfriend Kiefer Sutherland.

.

Kiefer Sutherland and Emilio Estevez, along with Charlie Sheen and others, acted in the big young version of the western movie Young Guns. They had a bad impression of Ronald, so he also

If you don’t come to join in the fun, you and Julia Roberts will be having sex on the other side.

"It's time to board the plane..." the staff of the business jet came over to remind.

A bunch of people here were very happy to board the Gulfstream arranged by Ronald. It was so comfortable to promote the movie like this.

"Oh, business jets. I used to fly on Air Force One and the superyacht of Greek shipping king Onassis..."

After everyone was seated, Ronald was chatting with several movie queens when an annoying voice sounded from the boarding gate again.

"The seats on this plane are too ordinary. In the past, Air Force One used special leather sofas..."

The speaker was none other than the wife of director Herbert Ross, the sister-in-law of former Commander-in-Chief JFK, and the ex-wife of the Duke of Poland, Duchess Caroline Lee Radziwill Ross.

"Huh...huh..." Director Herbert Ross followed behind with a big box, "Nora always helped me sort out my clothes before, so I didn't have to worry..."

Nora was the name of Herbert Ross's late wife, a former ballet dancer, who took good care of him. Speaking like this, of course, she got a blank look from the Duchess.

Ronald touched Diane's arm, who could barely hold back her laughter. The three movie queens around him couldn't help but covered their mouths and started laughing.

"The seats are too ordinary, Air Force One, they use special leather sofas..." Shirley MacLean was the meanest among them, and imitated the Duchess's accent on the spot.

"Hahaha……"

Everyone could no longer hold back and burst into laughter, causing Julia Roberts and the Duchess in front to turn around.

"Hmph, the soundproofing of this business jet is too poor. When I was on Air Force One, JFK was in front. Whether he was on the phone with his brother Robert or with a woman...I couldn't hear anything..."



The day after arriving in London, Colombia sent someone to explain the rules of the royal premiere to the crew.

"There are some royal rules that need to be followed for the royal premiere. We have communicated with the royal family and this is the arrangement now. All the creative staff will stand in the front row to be received by Prince Charles and Princess Diana, and can communicate freely with the royal family members.

Princess Diana's office informed us that female guests do not need to curtsy.

All couples should stand in the second row. In principle, do not reach out to shake hands with the royal couple first. They will take the initiative to reach out and shake hands with you..."

The person who popularized royal etiquette was Columbia employee Steve Klein. He was a young man who spoke without too many scruples. He treated movie queens and big shots like Ronald and Herbert Ross equally.

.

"My dear, will you feel uncomfortable if I ask you to stand in the back row?" Diane turned back, put her hand on Ronald's chest, and caressed it slowly. She tired easily when she was pregnant, so she leaned against Ronald

De's presence made her feel at ease.

"Haha, what's the matter? A movie premiere is always a stage for artists. I am here to take advantage of it as the artist's partner..."

Ronald had just arrived in London yesterday and had a phone call with Princess Diana. Knowing that it was inconvenient for Diana to be pregnant, he simply skipped the kneeling female guest.

"Humph, I am also a Duchess of Poland, which is equivalent to the title of Princess in Britain. Curtseying is the privilege of nobles. I think the Princess and the Prince are afraid that you don't understand the rules..."

Radziwill's annoying voice started to sound again.

"It's equivalent to the title of Princess in Britain..." Shirley MacLean began to imitate her accent again and mocked, "Pfft..."

"Um... Actually she doesn't understand that the so-called princes and princesses in Poland are different from the titles in Western Europe. There are so many princesses there that they can be wholesaled. There is a castle where the princess is..."

Ronald couldn't stand it either, so he uncovered her vagina.

"Pfft, hahaha..."

"Hmph..." Radziwill rolled her eyes. She seemed to look down on these bumpkins without titles.

"When Nora was here, I never had to worry about which tie to choose, or whether my shirt was not ironed..." Director Herbert Ross made two million from this movie, and it also allowed JFK's sister-in-law to spend a lot of money.

for a while.

"Uh..." Ronald couldn't stand this couple anymore.



"Your Highness the Prince, Your Highness the Princess..."

On the day of the royal premiere, several actresses wore elegant costumes. Together with Diane and Julia Roberts, two young actresses, the scene was full of female power.

Charles didn't say much. Diana liked this women's rights movie very much. She also donated a small amount of money to the charity foundation for diabetes research funded by the movie.

"Your Highness the Princess..." Dai An, who was standing in the front row, saw the Princess's outstretched hand and quickly stepped forward to shake it.

"The baby is coming soon..." Princess Diana did not discuss the movie with her, but expressed her concern about the baby like a relative.

"Ronald, when will you make a female film for us in Britain?" The princess took the initiative to talk to Ronald in the back row.

"I'm afraid British filmmakers also have many outstanding talents..." Ronald smiled. Today Princess Diana wore an embroidered cardigan dress, which looked a bit like a costume movie.

"It seems like the princess is very familiar with your Ronnie?" Shirley MacLean, who was standing next to her, saw a fresh piece of gossip and asked about Diane.

"When the princess visited Washington, Ronnie was also invited to the White House. They have known each other for a long time..." Diane also quietly replied.

"Hmph..." Radziwill at the end of the line saw that Ronald did not abide by the rules of family members being in the second row, and began to think about the seats for the next premiere.



The seats at the premiere are the same as during the reception, and follow the same rules. The creators sit in the first row, and the family members sit in the second row. The prince and princess also sit in the first row, and according to tradition, their seats are in the middle.

"Hmph..." Radziwill, who entered the theater screening room first, ignored the rules and sat in the first row.

This obviously broke the rules, and Radziwill's seat was not the seat of her husband, director Herbert Ross, but very close to the middle.

In fact, according to the arrangement of seats, Charles and Diana sit in the middle. Next to Diana is Diane Lane's seat. They have a personal relationship. Next to Diane is Julia Roberts. She is even younger.

The older actresses were placed on Charles' side.

When several Columbia executives saw such an accident, they immediately walked over to Radziwill and asked the Duchess to leave the table and take her seat in the second row.

But Radziwill obviously had the true heritage of a Polish aristocrat and was a thick-skinned person. He didn't seem to hear it and just sat in Julia Roberts's seat blankly.

Julia Roberts also came in. Seeing this situation, she walked next to Radziwill and whispered to her, "You are sitting in the wrong seat. This is my seat."

But Radziwill refused to give up his seat. Roberts repeated it, and Li seemed to not see her as a person. He continued to look at the screen as if there was no such person, completely ignoring her.

Julia Roberts was also confused. Who knew there was such a shameless person?

She desperately sought help from others, and her eyes fell on Ronald who accompanied Diane in from behind.

Ronald looked at the crowd of photographers and tabloid reporters from all over Fleet Street, and knew in his heart that Radziwill was too determined to break up with her in public.

Several Colombian executives were still arguing with her softly in the front row, saying "You're sitting in the wrong seat" constantly, and the people next to her could hear her clearly.

Ronald also cursed this bitch in his mind. Seeing that Radziwill refused to get up, he had no choice but to walk forward and whisper in her ear:

"You're an asshole, Caroline..."

Radziwill remained unmoved, treating Ronald as nothing. This made Ronald a little angry...

"Your title is that of a duchess obtained by marrying your husband, not a grand duchess obtained by natural blood. So after you divorced Radziwill, you have actually lost your noble status..."

"Huh?" Radziwill finally couldn't ignore it anymore. He turned his head with a look of surprise, then turned to look at Ronald angrily.

Ronald shook his head. For a woman with such a little princess personality, others knew that she was greedy for vanity, so they probably didn't tell her on purpose.

"No, absolutely impossible, this is nonsense..." Radziwill began to mutter in his heart. In fact, Americans don't know much about the common sense of these nobles. She married Radziwill just for this title. She even married a

Ross had not even removed her ex-husband's surname, but now that Ronald had exposed her, she was filled with fear.

At this moment, the chaotic noise finally alerted the prince and his wife.

"What are they talking about?" Charles asked.

"It seems like I'm sitting in the wrong seat..." Diana replied.

"Maybe we took the wrong seat, and the Americans were too embarrassed to tell us..."

"Oh, let's move."

I saw the prince and princess stand up and move another seat to the side. It didn't matter if the prince and his wife moved, the people next to them also became nervous, thinking that they were sitting in the wrong place, so they all started to stand up and move their seats. For a while, the theater was full of bangs and bangs.

The sound of chair springs.

"Uh..." Now, everything was in chaos. Ronald covered his face. He made a mistake and couldn't correct it, which made the media laugh. He had no choice but to make the mistake and let Diane sit in the second row with him.

never mind.

"It's okay, the first and second rows don't matter to me..." After hearing Ronald's whisper, Diane was very open-minded, and she sat next to Ronald. Leaning against Ronald, Diane felt

A bit more comfortable.

Feeling at ease, Diane began to look around. Only then did she realize that someone was crying next to her.

"Woooooooo..."

"Julia, don't cry, it doesn't matter, the second row is fine too..."

When Julia heard this, she looked up and saw that it was Diane, and she felt even more sad. Of course it doesn't matter if you caught Ronald, but I don't care. She glanced at Kiefer Sutherland next to her, as if she was worried about her position.

He looked like he didn't care if he was robbed...

"Ahhhh..."

She cried louder.
