"Mr. Garfield, welcome to the New England Cable Company," the actress who plays Mrs. Sullivan, Jorgensen's secretary and lover, greets Garfield, played by Tom Hanks, on the stairs outside the cable factory.
At this point in the plot, Garfield came to Rhode Island from Wall Street and wanted to personally convince Jorgensen to cut up the cable production part and sell it, so that everyone can make money together.
"Thank you..." Tom Hanks was breathing heavily as he walked, as if he had the physical strength a banker with a strong mind and simple limbs should have.
"Would you like your driver to come in and warm himself up?" It was already November when we were filming, and the temperature outside was already quite low, and the actor's breath was filled with white mist.
"No, he is the driver of my rental car. If you let him in, you will be too nice to him and spoil him."
Mrs. Sullivan is played by veteran Hollywood drama star Piper Lowry. She has played in many famous works, opposite Paul Newman, Jack Lemmon, Mel Gibson, and other old, middle-aged and young male stars. She still plays the role now.
Played a supporting role in the popular TV series "Twin Peaks".
Of course, her most famous thing is her many scandals with former commander-in-chief Ronald Sr. There are rumors in Hollywood that she continued to date Ronald Sr. after he married his first wife Nancy.
What Piper Laurie is best at is playing opposite star actors. Her three Oscar nominations were obtained when she worked with big stars. When she heard Tom Hanks’s very typical Jewish tone, she immediately felt
She reacted and rolled her eyes involuntarily, and then the small-town politeness unique to the character caused her to retract her expression halfway. For a moment, the whole person was in a very uncoordinated situation, and her walking was obviously
Disrupted the rhythm.
Just such a lack of synchronization between the left and right feet and the guests vividly expresses the conflict and contradiction between the two different American values of Wall Street and the small town of Rhode Island. Any audience who sees it will notice that a good show is about to take place.
Opening.
"Cut!"
Ronald took the lead in applauding her, and Piper Laurie was very proud. She felt that she could still steal the show, and even curtsied to thank everyone.
"Take a rest..." Ronald waved Sandra Bullock to move the chair. After all, she is nearly sixty years old, and such high-intensity shooting is very energy-consuming.
"Piper, let's have a cup of coffee." Diane plays her daughter in the movie, and the relationship between the two is very good. Having been in Hollywood for a long time, Piper Laurie has never seen anything like this.
"Oh, thank you." Piper Laurie took it and poured it into her mouth. She asked the heroine, who the director loved deeply, to pour herself coffee. This just showed that her ability to socialize and observe people's emotions was first-rate, which was in line with the role.
Very sweet.
"Hey..." Ronald opened his mouth to scream. He just wanted to drink it himself, and you could give it to the important actors. But he was too embarrassed to reveal his wife's shortcomings... he put down his hand halfway through the scream.
"I asked Sandra to make the coffee..." Diane gave her a wink. Gregory Peck told me last time. It was a reflection of brother Ronnie's love. Now of course it's for Piper Laurie.
I don’t know how to soak it myself.
"Hey..." The mature Piper Laurie smiled, and the couple were flirting, which was considered unusually affectionate in Hollywood, and then took a big sip.
"puff……"
"Sandra!"
Unexpectedly, how could Sandra Bullock, a former hotel waiter, be so bad at making coffee? This made everyone very embarrassed for a while.
"Oh my God, my wife Veronica always said that on the set, just drink instant drink." Gregory Peck was truly a gentleman and took the initiative to come over to soothe his cheeks. He personally soaked a pack of Nestlé in a paper cup and handed it to him.
To Piper Lowry.
"Oh, dear, thank you." Piper Laurie happened to swap her and Parker's identity lines in the script. She enjoyed the coffee made by Parker and also gave him a wink. Everyone laughed for a while.
Resolved the embarrassment.
…
"Doug, how's it going?
After finishing the filming, Ronald received a call from Douglas Jr. at the hotel.
"It's done, Rudy agreed to come forward and force the old Molinari to retire and let his daughter Susan take over."
"call……"
Ronald let out a sigh of relief.
This year marks another decades, and the American Population Bureau has started a new round of national census. Every ten years, members of the House of Representatives in Congress will redistribute seats in the House of Representatives based on the new population.
This year's results are very unexpected. California's population has grown significantly, and it has increased its number of representatives by seven, making it the largest state in the country. However, New York State's unexpected population growth has been negative, and it has lost three seats in the House of Representatives.
When this result came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the state assembly. There were three missing constituencies, which meant that new constituency divisions were about to begin.
Redistricting means a transfer of power. This division must be approved by the mayor, governor, and the New York State Assembly. The current situation is a bit critical. The mayor is Dinkins of the Donkey Party, and the governor is also a Donkey Party.
Under Cuomo, the state House of Representatives is also controlled by the Donkey Party, and only the State Senate has a majority of the Elephant Party.
The previous mayoral and gubernatorial elections were unexpectedly endowed with significance that could change the political landscape of New York in the next decade or even longer.
Now Dinkins has begun to call on the governor and the state assembly to pass the redrawing of congressional districts as soon as possible, vowing to pass the salamander district redrawing method to "reasonably" arrange the proportion of voters in each district, so that as many donkeys as possible can be represented in the public
It becomes an advantage in the re-election of members.
Little Douglas knew that the situation was not good. In the last general election and mayoral election, Ronald and the Staten Island forces he represented voted for the Elephant Party, and were also important donors to the Elephant Party. This time they, Staten Island
The 14th district where he is located has been firmly placed in the first echelon of those who will be disqualified from the district.
When the time comes, Dinkins and his allies will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack the strongest Elephant Party stronghold in New York City, the 14th District where Staten Island and Lower Manhattan are located. Douglas Jr. has received some rumors that Dinkins will
Use environmental cards and race cards to try to influence redistricting, taking away part of lower Manhattan where wealthy Wall Street and Chinatown are located, and then adding neighborhoods with large numbers of blacks and Latinos on the other side.
For his own benefit, Douglas Jr. planned to let Representative Guy Molinari of this district prepare for the next re-election in 1992, and rely on the Elephant Party's Senate to fight to keep the Staten Island district from being crossed out.
But something unexpected happened, and old Molinari himself misbehaved. This Italian guy who is now the mayor of Staten Island committed a mistake that most men make, and got together with a married woman who worked in the New York City Council Office.
Someone even took a picture.
Old Molinari has the characteristics of all Italian politicians, he likes to fight bad wars, and he also wants to rally supporters in Staten Island to fight hard to win the media war and possible public prosecution cases after the revelations, and to defend himself
status as a member of parliament.
But the financial backers of Staten Island and Lower Manhattan were all discouraged. This old pervert actually had an underground affair with a government employee. In addition to being immoral, he was also suspected of using the affair to gain New York's protection of the cultural landscape where Staten Island is located.
Fight for inappropriate support funding.
This matter particularly annoyed Ronald. When he was filming the movie, he had a "history" with the people from the cultural protection department and the environmental protection department. In addition, the mansion he bought where "The Godfather" was filmed, and the surrounding areas were already
There are also some procedural flaws in the construction of the pond and green space for the garden.
If this scandal is revealed, Dinkins, who has conflicts with Rudy, whom he supports, may have to stab himself in the mayoral election.
In an emergency, Douglas Jr. thought of a way to contact Rudy, who had great power in the prosecutor system, and asked him to come forward to deal with the people in the inspection system. In addition, he tried his best to keep his daughter, the current city councilor Su, who made his image fresh.
Shan's image, if that doesn't work, cut him off from his father, and then run as a candidate in the new election.
After giving some promises and financial support to support Rudy's challenge to Dinkins, Rudy, who is also Italian, agreed to conduct an "internal investigation" for the social elite of Staten Island.
After talking about these messy and annoying things, Ronald breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the hotel to take a hot shower. This shabby place didn't even have a better bathtub.
After he took a shower, he found that Diane had slipped into his room and was watching TV.
"Japanese multinational conglomerate Panasonic announced the acquisition of MCA Group for US$6.59 billion. The acquisition is subject to review by the Committee on Foreign Investment and the Federal Communications Commission. The industry generally believes that the hope of passing this acquisition is great and there are no obstacles.
This acquisition will exceed the sum of Sony’s previous acquisitions of Columbia Records and Columbia Pictures, making it the largest acquisition of an American media group by a Japanese company.”
"Hey, you are the heroine of the movie. You sneaked into the director's room. Do you want to..." Ronald put his arm around Diane's shoulders from behind and joked with her.
"Well...Director Ronny, can you give me a few more close-ups?" Diane stretched out her long legs in black stockings from her skirt, made a seductive gesture, and then cooed with Ronald.
flirt.
"Then it depends on whether you satisfy me..." Ronald patted the sofa, glanced at the narrow bed in the hotel, and decisively chose the sofa.
"I will satisfy you very much..." Diane came up and put her arms around Ronald's neck, letting him be deeply intoxicated by her fragrance.
…
The subsequent filming went more and more smoothly, and Ronald was obviously very satisfied. Many of the scenes between Diane, Tom Hanks, and Gregory Peck were given close-ups. Every time I watched the dailies in the morning, Tom Hanks was
Max will look back at Ronald.
He had previously worked with Diane on "Grown Up", but female director Penny Marshall could not have shot such a sexy Diane. Under Ronald's control, even the close-up view of Diane's back had a way of attracting male viewers.
Shortness of breath thoughts.
"Hey hey hey..." Diane was obviously very satisfied. Ronald has long been known for being good at photographing actresses. Under his lens, ordinary women will have a different kind of sexiness. Kelly McGillis
, Melanie Griffiths, these female stars were not known for playing sexy girls before. Under Ronald's training, their stills have become frequent posters in the bedrooms of young men.
"You remind me of Hitch..." Gregory also sighed. At that time, only Hitchcock had the ability to present the beauty of a sexy female star to the audience to the greatest extent.
Soon the weekend came again, and Ronald was planning to go to New York for vacation this time. The bed in the small town in Connecticut was really too small. He contacted the hotel and came with Diane to rest for two days.
However, things still didn't let him go. The morning after Ronald arrived at the St. Regis Hotel, he was woken up by Richard.
"This is the latest Wall Street Journal, and someone has linked you to the Panasonic acquisition."
"Forehead?"
Ronald, who had just picked up a knife and spread butter on the bread, preparing to drink it with the coffee brewed by the hotel, choked at the news.
"What's wrong with you, dear?" Diane ran over and gave him a glass of milk.
"It's okay, how could I be contacted?" Ronald looked puzzled. He didn't come forward for this matter. It was Douglas Jr.'s lobbying company that actually did the work, and George Jr.'s income was even more secret. How could anyone know about it?
of?
“Who got what from Panasonic’s acquisition of MCA?”
This is the title of an in-depth report in the Wall Street Journal on Friday. Unlike Hollywood newspapers, which are speculating endlessly on who will become the new CEO of the new Panasonic MCA, the Wall Street Journal is entirely writing from the perspective of reporting on mergers and acquisitions.
"Ahem..." Ronald put down the coffee cup. It would be troublesome if little George was involved in this matter. He immediately picked up the newspaper and read it.
"Lazard Brothers will receive $16.75 million, while Allen & Co. will receive $8 million, as the investment banks behind Matsushita Electric Industrial Co.'s acquisition of MCA Corporation, documents made public yesterday show.
income.
Lazard represents MCA and Allen represents Panasonic. In each case, the bankers will be paid after 50% of the shares are tendered. If Panasonic is unsuccessful in acquiring MCA and another bidder purchases at a higher price
For more than 50% of the company's shares, Allen will still receive a fee of $2 million."
Next, it is said that the law firm responsible for the merger will receive US$8 million. These are required disclosures in the merger and acquisition case.
Below is the carnival of MCA's management. Panasonic spent a lot of money to retain successful management. President Sidney Sheinberg received a five-year contract extension worth a total of $21 million. In addition,
The temporary distribution of MCA stock he was given will be worth nearly $90 million.
Ten other senior managers received a total of more than 20 million US dollars in bonuses, and the president of Continental Pictures, Tom Pollack, received a stock option buyout of 27 million US dollars.
So far, it is still a normal report. Apart from listing the income of the executives who have made huge fortunes through this merger and acquisition, there is nothing outrageous.
But in the next paragraph, it seemed very unprofessional and started to make false claims.
"The merger filing did not disclose consulting fees earned by CAA. Chairman Michael Ovitz tied the two companies together, possibly because the company was not a formal financial advisor in the transaction.
We contacted Ovitz, but he declined to comment on the salary figure, other than to say, "You can ask Ronald Lee."
We have not contacted the famous director Ronald who is filming his new movie, but according to anonymous Wall Street sources, Ronald Lee is very likely to snatch Ovitz away.
Part (or all?) of the cake, and also provided informal consulting services to Panasonic, so much so that Ovitz's gaffe in the interview broke the rules that CAA has always adhered to and openly discussed the privacy of its customers...
"
"Fxck... Is Ovitz mentally ill? Put him on the phone for me. I want to ask him in person if he ate too much and had no place to vomit?"
Seeing that Ronald was so angry, Richard didn't dare to stop him. He and Niceta had urgently approached Ovitz to negotiate, but his secretary excused them because Ovitz couldn't answer the phone on the plane.
Already.
"Tell him that I am very angry. If he does not contact me within an hour to explain clearly, the consequences will be very serious." Ronald calmed down after making the call. He did not get angry at the secretary, but calmly stated his request.
, and then hung up the phone.
He waved Richard out, called Little George, and after reaching a consensus with him, he asked his bodyguard Dan to set up an anti-eavesdropping line and dialed the White House phone. "I am Ronald, calling for the First Lady."
The secretary who had ordered Ronald's call to be transferred directly immediately transferred it to the first lady's room, "Ms. Barbara, I have something involving little George here, and I think I must let you know..."
…
"Oh, that's what he said? Hahaha, Ronald is very angry, and the consequences will be serious? If I hadn't taken him in, this guy would still be a screenwriter earning minimum wage!"
Michael Ovitz had already landed and laughed when he received a call from his secretary. People like Ronald only show their authority on Hollywood studios. He doesn't know how the real world works.
The weather in Seattle was very bad, it was raining. Ovitz was wearing an expensive handmade suit, handmade tie, and handmade shoes. The assistant next to him quickly opened a huge umbrella to cover him tightly.
The luxury car was already waiting outside the airport. The assistant opened the back door and let Ovitz get in the car first. Then he turned to the passenger seat and told the driver, "Go to Ivar Seafood Restaurant..."
