"I'm sorry, Ronald, my health has not been very good recently. The doctor told me to rest..."
"Oh, okay, then, you can rest more, I'll find someone else, don't be too tired..."
Ronald called a few familiar stars. Neither Sister Crazy nor Buffy the Vampire Slayer were big productions with big stars, so the stars they invited were all relatively ordinary, and the audience would remember them but not them.
It would be too difficult to invite.
But these celebrities who usually come when called, this time they all seemed to have made an agreement and used various excuses to reject Ronald's invitation.
An angry Ronald asked Richard about the situation. The two of them carefully checked the list and found that these were all stars under CAA, and most of them were Jewish.
"It's impossible for everyone to like me, right? Are you jealous that I won an Oscar?" Ronald thought it was unlikely that it was an emotional problem caused by the Oscar statuette.
"It's not right to say that there are also stars signed by our agent here, so neatly..." Richard also shook his head. Ovitz's influence now is not as good as when he won the Oscars two years ago.
There is no such power internally.
"I don't believe it anymore..."
Ronald contacted several more high-ranking stars, all of whom were actresses he had single-handedly made famous, so he had to give them face.
"I don't know, Ronald, I have been having physical problems recently. I was infected with the Epstein-Barr virus, I got chronic fatigue syndrome, and my concerts were suspended. I don't know..."
"Oh, okay, I understand..."
The first person Ronald contacted was Cher, the heroine of "Moonlight". After winning the best actress statuette for this film, Cher began to become a star in the film industry. With her own
Save up a project for the top star.
But after all, she is not Ronald, and the scripts she chooses all have big problems. After the recent movie "Mommy's Pretty Daughter" suffered a disastrous box office failure, she couldn't find a heroine with a good script, so she decided to temporarily
He left Hollywood and returned to the record industry to release a hit record.
"No, no, no, don't get me wrong. It's not that I don't want to go. What I mean is that I may be in bad shape by then and won't look good when I appear on camera, so you can't count on me..."
"Okay, you'd better rest more..." When Ronald heard this, he seemed to be really sick, which was different from the celebrities who had treated him poorly before.
"Count me in, but if you're not in good condition that day, you have to let the reporters review all the photos they publish..."
"That can……"
Ronald managed to get one, and he found that it wasn't that the big stars didn't agree with him, but that the big stars had no conflicts with him. To put it bluntly, they were looking forward to working with him again.
"What is chronic fatigue syndrome?" Ronald asked Richard.
"It's just that people get tired easily and have low energy..."
"Is this really a disease?" Ronald thought to himself. Is it just because he was too tired?
"You can't say that. She must have a professional conclusion that has been tested by a doctor..."
"Okay, I don't understand."
Ronald was still happy in his heart. No matter what the illness was, whether it was serious or not, if he could talk about coming, he had not forgotten about him. Ronald, whether he came or not was secondary. Next, he would support another female star that he made famous.
"Dirty Dancing" star Jennifer Gray calls.
"Jennifer..." Ronald said about the invitation to the premiere.
"Okay, Ronald, you finally remembered me. I will definitely go, but about the time?... No, of course I will go, but I have another guest movie to premiere, okay... I'll let you
The agent helped me set a time..."
"It's finally done..." Ronald thought to himself, it would be okay if two female celebrities who were popular in the past few years came.
However, before the premiere of his own film, another famous director, Robert Altman, also invited him to attend the premiere of his new film "The Player."
"Why did you find me?" Ronald thought to himself that I am not familiar with this "author" director who is good at shooting group scenes and is most admired by Europeans in Hollywood.
"His new film encountered financial difficulties..." Richard reminded.
"Oh, go check it out." Ronald also has an investment mentality towards this kind of film that has the potential to win awards. He has made a lot of money from commercial films, and what he can give back to the film is to fund some authorship.
Enough, but the commercial prospects are not particularly strong, or to support some new directors.
"This is the movie where Jennifer Gray makes a cameo... maybe you can meet her..." Richard explained that this "Big Player" is actually a movie telling a Hollywood story, with many stars in it.
Play yourself.
"Hi, Ronald. I loved your acceptance speech at the Oscars." Robert Altman had a bit of a hippie style, and he hugged Ronald like an old friend.
"I also like your Army Field Corps. My aunt is the widow of a Vietnam War veteran."
"Oh, then why don't you make a Vietnam War movie? Tell me, is the legendary secret of your Oscar win true?" Altman winked at him.
"Sending videotapes? I've done it before. For movies released at the beginning of the year, the judges who didn't do this have forgotten it. I guess everyone will do it this year, and it's not a secret weapon. We all know that it still depends on the director and the starring role.
Excellent..."
"Well, I think so. Those Hollywood rumors are exaggerated..." Altman, with his shaggy gray beard, bald head, and casually worn wrinkled jacket, looks better than Ronald in a suit. "Author
"too much.
"What rumors?"
"You don't know? Those Jews are saying that you used little tricks to steal the nomination from Barbra Streisand and steal the trophy from Warren Beatty and Oliver Stone." Ort.
Mann is a descendant of the Mayflower and was born in Kansas City, Missouri. He is also one of the few Hollywood directors who does not like Jews, which is why many of his works are funded by Europe.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Wade..." Ronald cursed, these people are just jealous, right? Have I broken your invisible monopoly on the Oscars? Silence of the Lambs, neither
The film has a Jewish director and starring roles, and it is not produced by a Jewish-dominated studio. It is completely a project that "only relies" on the descendants of early white immigrants.
"Look, these people are getting more and more outrageous. Any movie that doesn't follow their rules will be impossible to make. I think we should cooperate..." Altman took the opportunity to instill some real reactions in Hollywood.
The idea of a coalition of American filmmakers.
"Huh, you still want me to invest money..." Ronald knew in his heart that this was also a routine. However, the rumors spread by those people happened to be secretly fermenting while he was away from Los Angeles for more than a week, so he had to find a way to deal with it.
.
"It's settled, will you also play a guest role? In The Player, I cast Sidney Pollack to play a lawyer..."
"I will ask the agent to find your agent..." Ronald was noncommittal, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. He was already very familiar with this Hollywood language system.
"Ronnie..." Just as she was saying goodbye to Altman, Cher saw Ronald and ran over. She hugged Ronald and then kissed him twice on the face.
"Cher, your body?" Ronald looked at her and she did look a little haggard, which was indeed unusual for a Hollywood star who valued appearance.
"Don't worry, it's not contagious. I've already passed that stage, and now I get tired very easily."
"That's not what I meant, forget it, there are a lot of celebrities here today?" Ronald saw familiar faces such as Andie MacDowell and Whoopi Goldberg over there.
"This is a Hollywood story. It's always interesting for directors to make movies like this..."
"Oh, yes, are you making a guest appearance?" Ronald asked Cher.
"A few scenes, you see, Julia is here too, and he did a scene within a scene with Bruce Willis at the end..."
Ronald looked around, and sure enough, Julia Roberts and Bruce Willis were also at the premiere. Movies that tell Hollywood's own story are indeed easy to gain popularity. Looking at the concentration of stars at the scene, it was almost the same as the Golden Globe Awards.
Already.
After greeting the stars, Ronald finally saw a little bit of the problem. For big stars like Roberts and Willis, Ronald can give them a lot, good scripts, potential cooperation opportunities, and future opportunities.
Invitations from projects led by Ronald, so they were very enthusiastic about Ronald regardless of any rumors.
Actors who are particularly not famous, but have very good conditions, when they see Ronald, they really want to get to know each other. They are still on the road to success, and having Ronald to support them is better than struggling for three years on their own. So
Any rumors about Ronald have little to do with them.
Those who were indifferent to him were those middle-level stars who had made one or two movies that were successful at the box office or praised by film critics.
Most of these people's career paths are tied to the favor of agencies and major studios. Therefore, these rumors about Ronald are obviously more affected.
In particular, many so-called acting people rely more on awards and film critics to gain better status and income. Ronald's so-called "Oscar thief" behavior has a very direct impact on them.
For example, an actress like Diane Ladd managed to get a supporting actress nomination by co-starring in a movie with her daughter Laura Dern, but Ronald used the unsavory tactic of a videotape to help her wife.
Little Golden Man, why don't you feel unfair to these actors who are neither particularly beautiful nor have particularly good acting skills?
Not to mention that they are the largest group among the Oscar judges. They have made one or two good films, but there are no actors who have become famous.
"Wade..." Ronald cursed secretly again. This rumor was quite vicious. He did use an unprecedentedly effective videotape tactic. There's no way to deny it, but I didn't target actors like you.
The judging panel.
The best rumors are the combination of half-truths, half-falsehoods, facts, and baseless accusations.
"I can't help but stop playing with you, damn it." Ronald thought for a long time, but there was no good way. If he no longer expected to win the Oscar for Best Director, he would only cooperate with big stars or invest in some small productions.
With new actors, there is no need to deal with these outdated actors.
But, after all, that is the highest praise Hollywood can give a director... and I deserve it.
While Ronald was sulking, a beautiful actress with blond curly hair waved to him...
"Ronald..."
"Hello, nice to meet you, but I'm about to go in to watch a movie. If you have anything to say to my agent," Ronald pointed at Richard.
"Miss, what can I do for you?" Richard went up to relieve Ronald.
This actress is pretty good-looking, with harmonious facial features, a straight nose and arched eyebrows, giving her a girl-next-door look. In the Hollywood circle, she can be considered a seventy-eighty percent look.
But his client Ronald is not a fledgling director. What kind of top beauty has he not worked with before? There is still a gap between his appearance, figure, and style and several of his "girlfriends".
Since Ronald has no interest, it is the daily routine of an agent to get rid of such an actress.
"Ronald, it's me, it's me, Jennifer..." The beauty was anxious and waved to him desperately.
"Jennifer, do you have an agent? If so, you can ask him to make this call. If we have a suitable opportunity, we will ask you to audition."
"Daxmn it, it's me, Jennifer. Don't you recognize me? Didn't you come to see Ronald when we were filming Dirty Dancing? We met on the set. I'm Jennifer, Jennifer..."
"Jennifer Grey!"
Richard seemed to be greatly frightened and suddenly said the other party's name loudly.
The words were spoken so loudly that Ronald in front also heard them and turned around to ask Richard, "Where is Gray? Didn't she say she also made a cameo in this movie?"
Richard was silent and silently pointed at the curly-haired beauty.
"Holy Shxt!" Ronald was also frightened. Is this still his heroine in the "Dirty Dancing" movie, the Jewish girl Jennifer Gray?
"Where's your nose?"
"My nose? Did it look good? I've always been unable to play leading roles in Hollywood because my Jewish nose is too conspicuous. Now I can finally show my true strength..."
"..."
"..."
Ronald and Richard looked at each other.
If Jennifer Gray had not acted in high school musicals like "Dirty Dancing" that sell countless video tapes every year, plastic surgery would indeed be a good choice. She looks better now than she did before with a big Jewish nose.
, there will be many more characters to choose from.
but……
Not to mention ordinary viewers, even people like Ronald and Richard who have collaborated with her in movies would not be able to recognize her. And because of the change in her nose, even her voice has changed a lot. I am not reminded.
, Ronald didn’t recognize her at all.
This means that no audience knows her as the Baby in Dirty Dancing, and Jennifer Gray has become a complete new person again...
"Who asked you to have plastic surgery?"
"Who else, but my boyfriend, and the directors and producers who rejected my audition?"
"My dear Jennifer..." Ronald was speechless. A good acting career was ruined.
…
Sure enough, not only Ronald's own feelings, but Robert Altman also realized something was wrong and deleted all Jennifer Gray's scenes in the movie "The Player". The audience wouldn't recognize her anyway after watching her.
For the baby in "Dirty Dancing", the effect of using a star to play oneself is completely unachievable. Only a few seconds of Jennifer's father Joel Gray's image was cut out, and Jennifer was mentioned verbally.
"Should we hire her for the new film?" Richard looked at Daydream's production plan. There were many musicals and action films in it. Jennifer Gray would have been suitable.
"Forget it, we can't pay for a star that the audience can't recognize, and it's impossible for her to accept minimum wage."
Ronald, Richard and others held a meeting to discuss how to deal with the rumors about him in the circle. After much deliberation, there was no good way. They could only use daydreams and Ronald's projects to attract some actors and break the rumors.
rumor.
It is estimated that by the time the new Oscars are held at the end of the year, everyone will have forgotten Ronald’s methods. By then, no one will know how to send videotapes...
Sure enough, Ovitz had some tricks up his sleeve, but he was still careless. This Jew was like a poisonous snake, keeping silent. When you took your precautions, he caught the opportunity and took advantage of your absence for more than a week to spread rumors to the world.
You have no time to refute the rumors.
Fortunately, Ronald is no longer the one to be slaughtered. With his accumulation, wealth, and connections with non-Jewish celebrities in the industry, it is impossible to completely attack him.
The days are long, just keep looking for opportunities to fight this poisonous snake.
"Governor Brown, do you think he has an electoral problem?"
The sound coming from the TV interrupted Ronald's contemplation. This was the primary debate for the Donkey Party's leadership election.
"Sorry, most stars in Hollywood are donkeys. If you don't want to watch it, I can go back and watch the video." Richard took the remote control and turned down the volume. He had to pay attention to some election news and have topics with those stars.
You can chat.
"No, no, I want to see it too..." Ronald took the remote control and turned up the volume again.
"He has serious electoral qualification issues. On the cover of this issue of the Washington Post, I tell you that he sent state government money to his wife's law firm. This is the first article...
"
The former governor of California has launched a challenge against the former governor of Arkansas. This is a very serious accusation. When he was governor, he not only outsourced the state's business to his wife, but also helped her law firm's major clients.
, the breeding companies are committing fraud. Let’s look at another Chicago Tribune report, which says that there are 270 miles of river water that is contaminated by feed and bacteria and is no longer suitable for human drinking and fish survival..."
The governor of Arkansas is now leading the southern states. Although Brown is catching up from behind in terms of campaign funds, the Donkey Party has adopted new primary rules this year, and candidates who win the following states cannot get all the votes. So Brown needs to find
Make a big scandal about him, attack him, and cause problems with his integrity.
"Huh?" Ronald's face turned red when he saw the Governor of Arkansas on the right side of Governor Brown. Anyone who knows some acting skills knows that Brown hit him in a sore spot, but he still tried his best to maintain his posture.
He had a smile on his face, although his body language was already very nervous.
"This situation is a bit similar to mine..." Ronald became interested and wanted to see how he would perform in a crisis.
"How do you respond to Brown?" the host asked.
"I was disappointed with Governor Brown. He came to me in the 1970s and asked me to endorse his candidacy for governor."
"Do you agree?"
"Of course not. Brown is a man who doesn't match his words with his actions. Within a year or two, he said exactly the opposite. In 1990, he promoted a bill in California, hoping to eliminate the cap on political donations, and his legal affairs
We have received 175,000 taxpayers' money, and I remind you that this is taxpayers' money to advance this bill..."
"Hmm...", Ronald touched his chin. This trick is very useful. If someone accuses you, will their butt be clean? What I have to do is to point my finger back. Ovitz, didn't you use the package contract?
Are you here to rape the studio and the actors? Isn’t it unfair for actors who lost their chance to audition because they were not clients of CAA?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Those directors who did not receive full support even if they signed with CAA because they did not cooperate with you, didn’t you steal their statuettes?
"But just now Brown accused you of assigning state government business to your wife. Are you going to respond to this?" The host was not so easily fooled by him, and mentioned what he just said again.
"To be honest, Jerry, I don't give a damn what you have to say, you're such a chameleon, reinventing your position every year.
But you should be ashamed of your actions, especially when you jumped on my wife's back and spread rumors about her! You are not worthy of standing with me at all."
"This is what the Washington Post said." Brown was anxious...
"Does that mean it's true? Let me tell you, Brown, my wife was governor for me at the expense of business interests. She did a lot of three-dollar pro bono attorneys, and how many lucrative businesses did she give up?
"
"This trick is good, I have to learn it too. Why do you say that Diane does not deserve to get the statuette? Do you know that she learned acting from her father since she was a child? Do you know that she acted opposite Meryl Streep at the age of six?
Did you know Laurence Olivier said she was the new Grace Kelly?"
"Look at you, Jerry, you care about such blatant rumors. I am the one who cares about ordinary people. Thousands of ordinary people, such as those who suffered losses in the Los Angeles riots, what they need is
Changes in actions, not weak promises.
Let me tell you, Jerry Brown just attacked my wife and her character. Every time I challenge these old politicians and seek real change, they will jump out and spread rumors about me and my wife.
It happens every time, and let me tell you what happened... I won, every time! Because I had the support of the people..."
"Fuxk...this guy is really good...", Ronald asked Richard, "Do you have a video? Okay, give me a copy then..."
Ronald feels that he has found a way to fight back. I am a changer in Hollywood...
