Erica Elenik, Playboy Miss July, will play herself in Steve Seagal's film...
The film promotion of "Reincarnation of the Warriors" was highly exposed in the media because of the fist-fighting of the two leading actors. Steve Seagal's film "Dragon" is actually a B-level action exploitation film.
The numbers of the paths are all very similar.
For example, the level of the action part is very high and can reach the level of first-line production, but in the rest of the plot, the logical loopholes in it are big enough that two people can get through. This is the original intention of an exploitation film, to exploit an element that the audience loves to watch.
…
The production dates of the two movies were close, and the release dates were also close. Siegel refused to show weakness and approached Ovitz and asked him to help promote...
But "Qianlong" only has one male protagonist. The supporting actor Tommy Lee Jones plays the terrorist who hijacked the battleship. He actually doesn't know martial arts. In the plot of the movie, he plays with guns. If you let him and Steve
If Jeff Siegel had a fight in front of the media, he might lose half of his life.
I had no choice but to use the deceived heroine Erica Elenik as a material for hype. This heroine (actually she had very few roles, but she was the only female character), was the actress in July 1989.
The "Playboy" Girl of the Month.
The role she plays in the movie is also a "Playboy" girl of the month who is invited to perform a dance for the captain. Such a role is very suitable for this actress with a majestic figure but average acting skills, and she plays her true character.
"Erica Elenik gave up her recurring role as lifeguard Carrie on 'The Beach' to get back into movies. This time she'll be starring in the battleship from The Empty Box for us.
Do you want to jump out and perform a sexy dance to please the male audience?"
It can be said that this actress is also very "innocent". Instead of playing a good role as a TV star, she insists on practicing her acting skills and fantasizing about becoming a real movie star. In addition, she was cast by Steve Seager.
Her real specialty - salesmanship - convinced her that this was an aikido version of "Rocky" and that she would be the next generation of "Adria Lodge" (played by Talia Shire).
"The girl who was kissed by ET's friend Elliot is now dancing in the movie..."
Steve Siegel is afraid that his momentum will be suppressed by Jean-Claude Van Damme and Lundgren, and the subsequent hype will be a bit ignorant of the overall situation. This Erica Elenik actually appeared on the scene when she was a child.
Both she and Drew Barrymore played the role of friends and classmates of the male protagonist Elliot in ET.
She was the blonde girl that Elliot kissed in the classroom. But there is absolutely no need to hype this incident. Just the shot of Erica Elenik running fast in a red swimsuit in "The Beach" is enough.
Enough for a large number of viewers to go to the cinema to watch her dance erotically.
To mention "ET", one of Spielberg's favorite movies, is completely superfluous.
"This is a bit too much. Do you want me to send you a message to shut him up?" Ronald asked Spielberg when he was on the phone.
"I asked Catherine to do it, involving a little girl... um..." Spielberg was very angry. The timing of this hype was really not the right time.
Spielberg has refused to release video tapes since "E.T." was released. It wasn't until Ronaldo's two movies, "Top Gun" and "Dirty Dancing," broke video sales records twice that he made a move
thought.
After asking Ronald about some anti-theft measures, his "ET Alien" finally took sufficient anti-theft measures and released it on the video tape market.
As soon as it was launched, it broke Ronald's single-month video tape sales record (the cumulative record is still held by Dirty Dancing). The green video tape and special anti-theft measures made it particularly popular among young viewers. The sales momentum made Spielberg
Also surprised.
Seeing the opportunity to make money, Kathleen Kennedy, the general manager of Spielberg Amblin, came up with the idea of new sales channels. She found the Sears Department Store in Chicago and started selling "ET Extraterrestrial" in their malls.
"People" video is being sold as a holiday bonus, available only to Sears members and credit card holders...
Just when this deal was being negotiated, something like this happened, which really threw rubbish in Spielberg's face.
It just so happened that Ovitz was trying his best to publicize Spielberg and wanted to win his agent contract. Now the negotiation process was stopped by Spielberg. Steve Siegel’s bad move made parents and viewers confused.
It was all very embarrassing, and it directly affected the joke in the video, and offended everyone.
"Sony said that their partner Yaohan Department Store needs to restock. Your movie is particularly popular in Japan. I am simply jealous of this. Most people there can't even read the word Extra-Terrestrial. As a result, the sales volume is higher than
Britain, Germany and Australia combined are even higher..."
"Hahaha, you don't understand. A child's smile is the universal language..." Spielberg was very proud that Ronald had a better relationship with Japan than he did, but the movie still depends on the audience's liking. Holiday Special
More than 150,000 were sold in Tokyo...
"Ronnie, our time is up..." Little Doug urged at the door...
"Okay, I'll come." Ronald hung up the phone, tidied his clothes, and went to the Peninsula Hotel in Manhattan to meet a distinguished guest.
"Mr. Al D'Amato is on the executive floor..."
“Is there something wrong with Senator Pothole’s election this time?”
"Maybe there are some... He wants to win completely, win beautifully, and win without any suspense..."
Ronald and little Doug communicated quietly in the elevator.
This year is the re-election year for the New York State Senate. Al D'Amato, a senior Elephant Party senator, is also running for re-election. This time, through Congressman Ms. Molinari of Staten Island, we found Little Doug, hoping that he could help a
"A small favor". Ronald happened to be there, so Mr. Senator invited them all to come...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This must be Director Ronald Lee. I like your patriotic movies very much. I have Top Gun in my office at DC."
Videotape...please sit down, Doug, we meet again..."
Al D'Amato's name is of Italian origin. He has close ties with Italian politicians in New York State. Moreover, he is a senator of the Elephant Party, and he is politically close to the Molinari family who started out in the Elephant Party.
ally.
The reason why he is nicknamed "Senator Pothole" is because he has a different style from other senators. He rarely does anything on major federal matters. But when it comes to small matters related to his home state of New York, he is very
Positive. I once personally coordinated and solved a pothole in New York...
This style is not like that of a federal senator, but rather like a representative of the public opinion of the House of Representatives. He was very satisfied with the Star-Spangled Banner Act that Ronald indirectly promoted.
His dedication to his hometown people is rare among senators. A few years ago, in order to block a bill that would cause hundreds of military employees in his hometown to lose their jobs, he once read the telephone directory of Washington, D.C., to the Senate.
He read for twenty-three and a half hours without interruption, setting a time record for this particular "filibusters" filibuster. In the end, these employees were saved.
If there is any benefit to such a style, it is that the voters in your hometown will always remember you. You will write to them if anything happens. After the matter is resolved, no matter how small it is, they will hope that you will continue to be re-elected.
Such a senator, as the Donkey Party becomes more and more powerful in New York, he is the anchor of the Elephant Party. With a vote advantage of more than 30%, he defeated the candidates of the Donkey Party who wanted to challenge him...
"I wonder if there is anything we can do for Mr. Senator..." Little Doug asked directly after greetings.
"That's right, I'm not worried about the Donkey Party, but there are people in the Elephant Party who want me to retire..."
Al D'Amato did not shy away from talking about his difficulties directly. This year there was a challenger within the Elephant Party, Lawrence Rockefeller...
The son of the Rockefeller family inherited the political ambitions of his father, a former deputy commander, and this time he wanted to challenge Al D'Amato's primary qualification.
Of course, he may not be able to succeed in the challenge. Even if his last name is Rockefeller, it will not help. Who would elect a senator who is helping him to pave the way?
But this kind of thing is very dangerous. Italians do not have many political resources. Once someone shows that he has the ability to challenge his senatorial position, it is conceivable that there will be a lot more competition in the election six years later.
A strong challenger comes.
Moreover, Rockefeller's network of connections and social energy should not be underestimated. Maybe the patriarch of the Rockefeller family, seeing that he has hope for a political career, will face almost endless campaign funds.
"So not only do you have to win against him, but you also have to make him lose his pants so that no one will think of challenging you again?" Little Doug understands this mentality. If a politician wins an election intimidatingly, he can intimidate no one in ten years.
Come to challenge.
Al D'Amato adjusted his big gold-rimmed glasses and confirmed Little Doug's question with a smile.
"So what can Ronald and I do for you?"
"I'm just going to use the influence of these two people on Staten Island..."
It turns out that to run for the New York State Senate, you need to collect a certain number of signatures before you can register to run. Most of New York City is the territory of the Donkey Party congressmen. In these places, little Rockefeller could not find any supporters.
There are many supporters of the Elephant Party in the countryside of New York State, which is also the base of Al D'Amato. It is difficult for Rockefeller to pry away. Only Staten Island is under the jurisdiction of New York City, where the Elephant Party has the upper hand.
It is possible to help him collect tens of thousands of signatures...
In Staten Island, especially in the town of Toteville, these two people are the same people. The job opportunities they provide to thousands of employees can be guaranteed as long as this organized group does not endorse Rockefeller Jr.
Have a taste of what ultimate humiliation is.
"Also, I heard that Ronald, you are the boss of the Daily News?" Al D'Amato wanted to add more emphasis.
"I'm just an investment shareholder..." Ronald answered the phone and called James Wells, the editor-in-chief of the Daily News.
"I am Ronald, who do we support in this Senate re-election?"
"Of course we are the Italian guys who are filling the gap. Our position is originally biased towards readers in Long Island, Brooklyn and Staten Island...where we have the largest circulation..."
"Haha... you owe me one," Ronald smiled and nodded to the senator.
"I think this is the beginning of a great friendship..." Al D'Amato stretched out his hand to them, and he must have heard what he said just now.
…
“Will California’s senators also be re-elected?”
When Ronald returned home to Los Angeles, he saw Diane looking through the campaign materials of a candidate named Barbara Boxer.
"It was her office that came to invite us to donate..."
After becoming a celebrity, there are many people who come to beg for help. This Barbara Boxer is already a California representative and is preparing to run for the Senate election this time. The senior Ellen Cranston,
Barbara is not running for health reasons. As a woman, Barbara’s reason for running is that women can also become the spokesperson for voters.
Therefore, directors like Ronald who shoot female-themed films were attacked by their campaign offices. They not only invited the couple to participate in events, but also sought endorsements and support.
"Just donate some money, don't endorse... We don't know her, we don't know what kind of person she is..."
"I also think that politicians are almost the same as actors..."
After signing a small check, Ronald stayed with his family until the evening before going to visit Cameron.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This time the Saturn Awards sent a special invitation to hold a discussion after the public screening..."
Cameron threw a piece of information to Ronald.
This time, "Silence of the Lambs" produced by Ronald was nominated for Best Horror Film, and "Terminator 2" was nominated for Best Science Fiction Film. Both have great hopes of winning.
This award is an audience choice award, so it pays great attention to interaction with the audience. This time, two directors were also invited to interact with the lucky audience and answer various questions.
"No problem, I'll go with you..."
Compared with the Oscar judges, Ronald actually prefers to communicate with these ordinary audiences. Their cognition is actually closer to that of commercial film directors like Ronald and Cameron, and no one will ask them about an expression in the movie.
What is the profound meaning of this question?
In order to compete for the Oscar, Ronald had to attend a series of parties, smile and say things that he didn't understand with these actors and film critics. It was really hard to think about it.
For awards like the Saturn Award, the audience admires the director very much, and their questions also think of the director as a master. It is a much more pleasant experience to communicate with these people.
Hey, it would be great if they could also vote for the Oscar. Both Ronald and Cameron have a good chance of winning...
"Bruce Hosenson...who is this?" Ronald found an envelope behind the information and opened it to see another campaign information inside.
"This is a political commentator from the Elephant Party, preparing to participate in the re-election of the Senate..." Cameron shrugged. As a motorcycle enthusiast, he was also approached by politicians from the Elephant Party.
"Hey? How about I donate a little too?" Ronald flipped through it twice. Anyway, this place is not like New York where it is the home of registration and factories. Candidates in California, as long as both parties do not offend...
