Gale Heard tied her hair high and wore a smart strong woman outfit. Since her divorce, she has been showing herself as a strong yet sexy female producer. Her whole body is full of aggression.
, completely different from the previous image of a woman who still had a touch of softness.
"You should have thought, is there a more suitable candidate than me?" Ronald looked at Hurd's somewhat sophisticated way of going around in circles with him, and sighed in his heart, "You must know the reason why I'm here. Jim's Spider-Man script has been
Columbia rejected it and needs to be rewritten. You also know that the processes of these large companies can easily drag on for half a year to a year. So I need the rights to film the sequel to Terminator that you hold..."
"You are really boring, Ronald. Tell me, what is your offer?" Gale felt that her charm was a bit lost. She changed her posture, leaned against the edge of the desk, and slightly raised her chest to face Ronald.
Ask questions.
"Let me rephrase your question. What is a win-win solution that we can both accept?" Ronald adjusted his posture. The sofa in Gale Hurd's office was very low. When sitting, he had to look up at Hurd.
An unsophisticated person can easily become psychologically weak.
Of course, the more important thing is that he cannot be in a weak position during the negotiation. Ronald cannot act as if he is going to offer a price to buy the sequel. This transaction is also very beneficial to Gale's own interests.
As we all know, this sequel has been long-awaited by the audience. Director Cameron and the return of Schwarzenegger as the main actor are very exciting to the audience. Gale's 25% power is worth a lot of money. I really want to watch it in
For Gale, who has further become a first-line producer in Hollywood, cashing this check is the most important thing.
Seeing that Gale still crossed his arms and looked like he was not in a hurry, Ronald sighed, "If you are willing, I have a plan. You, Jim, and Schwarzenegger are all owed some by Heimdall."
money.
If you can jointly sue to recover the money you are owed, it may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back for Heimdall's current financial situation, so that they will no longer have unrealistic illusions.
One day, they have extra cash, and they will rely on your Terminator sequel to turn things around."
"Heimdall's gang won't give up so easily, right?" Gale Heard heard Ronald referring to The Terminator as her movie, and finally put down her hands, staring down into Ronald's eyes,
Trying to find out if Ronald really has a way.
"Do you know there is a production company called Carloco? They really want to get Schwarzenegger's long-term contract..." Ronald threw out a piece of evidence that convinced Gail.
"Huh...", Gale nodded, "I want the producer's signature of the sequel..." She put forward the conditions. If you want to be a producer, your resume is very important.
"Executive producer? Is that okay?" Ronald liked this kind of negotiation where everyone was talking about terms, but he was still very sad about the current situation of Gale and Cameron.
Sadly, it is definitely not a good idea to let Gale be a producer with substantial power. Although her production ability is not weak, she also has experience in making such films with heavy special effects components.
But Cameron has given up on Pipa. His ex-wife and ex-husband, who have gone through a painful divorce, will definitely mess up a good project.
"I believe you, Ronald, but there can be no other concessions..." Gale Hurd actually accepted Ronald's conditions. She asked for her proportion now and to maintain her relationship with Kamei in the future.
After the subsequent investment comes in, the income will not be diluted in unequal proportions.
"You have my promise, Gale. I would rather reduce my own profits and guarantee yours." Ronald's main function is to make the project successful. His relationship with Cameron can also
Let me tell you a few words from the bottom of my heart. I know that Cameron's biggest wish is to get the sequel project approved. It is not a big problem how many percentage points the subsequent dividends will be.
He has the director's remuneration, which is his income after the divorce, and he no longer has to share profits with Gale. But the dividends from the production rights were transferred to her for one dollar before the marriage, so a little more or a little less is not necessary.
Give some to Gale?
And Gale doesn’t really want to be an actual producer on the crew. What she wants is the aura brought by being a continuously successful producer and the ability to continue to launch medium-sized and above projects in Hollywood.
She wanted Cameron to know that there was not only one director in the world who could make commercially successful and artistic films.
"She agreed?" Cameron felt relieved when he learned that his ex-wife agreed to the plan.
"Well, both of our projects are moving forward. The Terminator sequel is here, and we don't know yet whether Heimdall's situation is that bad. Let's give it a try and see the reaction.
As for Spider-Man, I still haven’t figured out why Jon Peters is dissatisfied with me, why don’t you try revising the script and submit it again?”
"Okay, I can easily come up with another story outline. Spider-Man has several versions of origin stories, and I'm familiar with them all." Cameron is very confident about this, "But the Terminator needs some creativity, Schwarzenegger
The T-800 is about to return, but what I really wanted to shoot was the T-1000. There are many details that need to be realized in the plot..."
"Isn't this easy? You just have to take what you wanted to make but didn't make it...well..." Ronald thought of the plot of the Terminator sequel that he dreamed of back then. Cameron's idea was huge at the time, and he dreamed of it
To make a sequel, I used subtraction to cut out the content in the sequel, and then sorted out the plot of the first part.”
But I can't tell Cameron about this...
"You seem to have some ideas? How about writing a synopsis for me? I feel painful when I think of when I was working on The Terminator and two other scripts at the same time and could only sleep six hours a day." Cameron covered his chest.
, back then, I was forced into a desperate situation by money. Fortunately, several of my scripts were approved. In exchange for the money, I could continue to live a sufficient life with Gale... Sigh.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, I can only write a summary..." Ronald is still very busy, but this is not difficult for him, as long as he slowly recalls the past
Just a dream.
…
"Hey, it turns out that the killer robot played by Schwarzenegger in the sequel is a good guy?" Diane sat next to Ronald and read the plot summary he had just printed out.
"Yes, this is a narrative trick. If it is handled this way, whether it is an old audience who has watched the first Terminator or a new audience who has not seen it, there will be a buffer to integrate into the story..."
Ronald chuckled. He still remembered the plot he had dreamed about very deeply. The original sequel was very similar to the beginning of the first part. The audience had to watch about the end of the first act before they realized that the part in the first part was
The main villain is a mechanical warrior who was sent back to the present to save the leader of the future resistance after his chip was reprogrammed by the future resistance in the second part.
"My dear, you are awesome..." Diane was obsessed with Ronald's talent, with expressions of admiration in her eyes. In such a short time, she was able to think of such a plot that was perfectly nested with the first one.
My husband is very talented.
"Let's get ready. If we don't change clothes, there will be a traffic jam..."
"Um……"
Diane slowly went to the cloakroom and put on a custom-made evening dress. The long skirt was conservative and elegant. The top was a very light sleeveless design, which made Diane's pregnant figure well modified.
She put on her flat shoes, held Ronald's arm comfortably, and took the car to the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
"Elegant, beautiful, light, like an elf, I don't need to add any more adjectives. In the past thirty years, when movie audiences left the theater after watching the movie, they were stunned by your beauty and fascinated by your acting skills...
..." An elderly gentleman was chatting at the front desk.
Ronald smiled and reached out to hold Diane's hand. These words were also very suitable for his wife. Diane's small hand was touched by his warm big hand, and they looked at each other and smiled sweetly.
The Golden Globe Awards evening was a big party with a round table, alcoholic drinks and various snacks. Some celebrities who were not good drinkers got so drunk that they made a fool of themselves on the spot.
Ronald and Diane were sitting at the same table. Ronald was facing Billy Crystal, the leading actor of "When Harry Met Sally", which he directed. He also won the comedy category.
Nominated for Best Actor.
On Diane's side, there is the crew next to Steel Magnolias. Sally Field is nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series, and Julia Roberts is nominated for Best Supporting Actress.
At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the award-winning guest on the podium. This was Gregory Peck. Of course, everyone knew that he was talking about the princess actor who collaborated with him in "Roman Holiday"
,Audrey Hepburn.
The special commemorative award of the Golden Globe Awards, the DeMille Memorial Award, has always been awarded to veteran stars who are famous in the industry. This year they awarded this award to Hepburn.
"You are like a gift from God to us. I thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for giving me this opportunity to present the DeMille Memorial Award to you, Ms. Audrey Hepburn."
Gregory Peck looked at Hepburn as he did at the end of the Roman Festival. Hepburn gracefully stood on the podium under the gaze of him and all the stars in the audience.
"This little golden ball means a lot to me..." Hepburn thanked the media at the beginning and praised them for reporting on children suffering from hunger around the world...
"She is now an ambassador for UNICEF and went to Ethiopia last year..." Richard saw that Ronald was a little confused and quickly explained in his ear.
"I would also like to thank all the directors and actors who have worked with me, including Blake Edwards, Peter Bogdanovich, Fred Asdale, Gregory Peck..."
Hepburn spoke very quickly, and Ronald saw that several stars at the scene, especially Parker, did not receive special treatment. His name, like everyone else, slipped past Hepburn's lips.
Next to him, Gregory Peck, who had just presented the award to Hepburn, lowered his head silently...
Ronald saw it in his eyes, but he was not sure. These were all actors at the level of movie kings and movie queens. He was not sure how true or false they were.
…
"The nominees for Best Actor in a Drama Series are..."
The winner of the Best Actor in a Drama category was the veteran blonde beauty, Kim Novak. Her two classic collaborations with Jimmy Stewart have always been an unsurpassed romance.
"Tom Cruise, born on the Fourth of July...Daniel Day...no, and Lewis, my left foot..."
Novak's acting skills are very charming. She performs very charmingly under directors who know how to use her. But under the hands of people who don't know how to direct her, she is very clumsy. So she left Hollywood very early and switched to
And I went to run a ranch with my husband.
Therefore, she was not very familiar with current Hollywood stars, and she almost mispronounced the name of an Irish star, Daniel Day-Lewis, which made a minor joke.
"The winner is...Tom...Cruise..."
"Wow wow wow..." Ronald clapped over there.
Tom Cruise had very long hair today and looked very nervous. When he saw Ronald, he could only force out a forced smile.
"This means a lot to me..."
Ronald was chatting with Diane below. He had never seen Tom so nervous. He looked at his agent Paula Wagner. The other party nodded to him invisibly, in order to prove that he had very good acting skills.
, Tom Cruise, like Ronald, also spent a large public relations budget this time.
Then several more awards were presented, all to Ronald's acquaintances.
Best Actress in a Drama Series went to Michelle Pfeiffer. She beat out Sally Field in "Steel Magnolias" and Andie MacDowell in "Sex, Lies, and Videotape."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I didn't prepare anything, I feel very honored..."
Pfeiffer seems to have recovered well from the shock of divorce and scandal, but when she opens her mouth, she is still in a very fragile and injured state. Perhaps it is this special temperament that attracts many directors and movie fans.
"In my eyes, you are the best actor..." Ronald comforted Sally Field at the table next to him, just to hide his emotions.
"Ahem..." A gentle cough came from the scene, and it was Diane next to him.
Ronald was startled and turned around to see Diane looking at Julia Roberts next to Sally Field and clearing her throat.
"Are you okay?" Ronald understood. Diane's discomfort did not come from Pfeiffer above, but because "Steel Mulan" was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, and the most popular Julia Roberts
.
It seems that female celebrities are really a very competitive profession, much more competitive than male celebrities.
"Don't be nervous, your nomination will have to wait a while... smile..."
The award was presented to Jane Seymour, the temperamental female star of the previous generation. "The nominees are Steel Magnolias, Julia Roberts..., Sex, Lies, Videotape, Laura San Giacomo..."
When Ronald was listening to this below, he felt that Julia Roberts' face turned pale with nervousness and she kept swallowing her saliva.
Laura San Giacomo happened to be her co-star in "Pretty Woman", playing the role of another streetwalker who rented a house with her, and was the Italian-American female star who almost starred in "The Godfather Part III".
Male stars can have many acting options, including action films, romantic films, dramas, and comedies. Everyone can compete in their respective fields. The employment of female stars is much narrower. In action films, dramas, comedies, including romantic films, of course, women
The roles of the stars are similar, a beautiful woman who is in love with a man...these two were considered good sisters in "Pretty Woman" released this year, but now it's time for a showdown.
"The winner is...Julia Roberts..." Jane Seymour was already a mature woman. She awarded the Golden Ball to Roberts and took the initiative to step back...
"I want to thank..." Roberts' voice was trembling. Her agent and she had begged so many people for this award, and also hoped that her boyfriend would help canvass votes, and finally got her wish. "I'm so nervous..."
Finally recovering, Roberts began to thank everyone on the "Mulan" crew, "Thank you Sally Field, thank Diane Lane, thank director Herbert Ross, and then producer Ronald... Finally
,I want to thank my agent and my brother Eric..."
Ever since actor Dustin Hoffman thanked Michael Ovitz at the Oscars last year, it has become almost routine to thank agents during awards.
"It's your turn soon..." Julia Roberts was still excited, holding a small golden ball in her hand, and started talking to Diane, as if she was destined to win the award.
"Oh...I'm so nervous..." Diane's hands were sweating.
Ronald followed her gaze, and over there was Amy Madigan, one of the actresses in the "Roe v. Wade" miniseries. She and Diane both won this year's Golden Globe Awards for Best TV Series.
The only award for Best Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Television Movie.
"Don't be nervous, you are the best..." Ronald understood clearly in his heart. The only person whom Julia Roberts cared about the most but did not thank was her co-star in "Pretty Woman", Laura St. Jaco
No matter what, what Diane cared about most was Amy Madigan.
The two also acted together in "Streets of Rage". Diane Lane wore a dress designed by Giorgio Armani and played the female rock singer. Amy Madigan wore an M42 US military trench coat and played a Japanese male.
The main character Cody is a tomboy who takes a gun to rescue Diane.
Female celebrities who have experience co-starring together are the worst competitors when they compete for an award.
Old grudges and new grudges, new scars and revenge, all happened at the moment when the award-winning guest announced.
"The winner is...Diane Lane...Lone Dove"
Ronald stood up quickly and helped Diane stand up. Diane looked at Ronald with disbelief on her face. She could really win the award? That movie "Roe v. Wade" is the most popular among all awards this year.
At last year's Emmy Awards, another star, Holly Hunter, beat Lone Dove and won the Emmy Award.
"Don't forget the winning words..." Ronald patted Diane's bag to remind her not to forget.
"I want to thank many people, first of all, other colleagues on the crew, Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones... I also want to thank my agent, thank you..."
Diane was still so excited that she had to pick up notes from time to time so as not to miss everyone who needed to be thanked.
"I want to thank my father... He warned me back then not to accept this kind of role easily..."
"Hahaha..." The whole audience burst into laughter. It was a rule of the past era that good actresses did not play prostitutes. For this reason, Diane missed Tom Cruise's famous film "Also Crazy".
"Finally, I want to thank my husband, my best friend, my first script consultant, and the first acting coach I turned to when I was acting, Ronald... I love you..."
Diane waved the little golden ball in her hand and blew a kiss to Ronald.
