Chapter 555: Hollywood Director

"My dear citizens of America, I am speaking to you tonight to inform you of the Iraqi government's attack on America and how we retaliated against them just now.

Just in the past period, the Kuwaiti government uncovered a bomb attack targeting America. This attack was directly targeted at former Commander-in-Chief George who was visiting Kuwait. After the Kuwaiti security services captured sixteen suspects, I ordered

The FBI and CIA conducted a thorough investigation...

Wanting to assassinate a former commander-in-chief because he punished their country while he was in office. This is undoubtedly an act of terror. I immediately met with our allies and made a decision. Just a few hours ago,

We used advanced weapons to bomb those in Baghdad who were planning this attack. This was also to reduce the casualties of innocent people, and I would like to express my gratitude to our military and intelligence and investigative agencies..."

"Oh, that's awesome..." Diane raised her fist and waved it happily in the air, "How dare you want to assassinate our commander..."

Ronald was also at home, watching the evening news with Diane. After some investigation, Commander William still launched an attack on the Iraqi General Intelligence Agency. According to news reports, Tomahawk cruise missiles were used, which were very advanced and precise.

In one fell swoop, those Iraqi officials who planned the attack on the former commander were destroyed.

Although there are some reports that the interrogation of the so-called bombers in Kuwait was incomplete and there were many beatings and tortures, and the Iraqi side also released news that nine innocent people were killed in air strikes. But the American people don't care about these things at all.

.

Anyway, that madman in Iraq just overestimates his capabilities. When old George let him off the hook, he was still fearless and wanted to assassinate our former commander-in-chief. Is it because he blew up all your elite troops?

This feeling makes ordinary people feel good. As for other details, such as who organized the terrorist attack and whether any innocent Iraqis were killed, they are not very important. What is important is that America once again

Won!

"It looks like a movie plot..." Ronald also felt that this kind of news was a bit science fiction. Just a few years ago, who would have thought that as long as he pressed a few buttons at the Pentagon, there would be another one thousands of miles away in Baghdad.

The General Intelligence Bureau of a sovereign country was blown into rubble? After the end of the Cold War, America's military superiority was indeed formidable.

"By the way, your new image has already been in the movie... It's in Schwarzenegger's last action hero..." Ronald remembered what Gubel told him on the phone and gave Diane a surprise.

"Hey, is that so? Why do I remember using the old title?" Diane also took the time to watch that movie, but she clearly didn't see her own image?

"It is not used in the original movie, but is intended to be used on the video tape. It is also used before and after other video tapes, and for trailer advertising."

Ronald also laughed. It seems that Gubel can't wait to please Ronald. His performance this year is not very good at all, and his top priority is to attribute these movies to his own achievements.

"Hey, is it true?" Diane was also excited. Those photos taken last time were processed with special effects. I don't know what kind of effect they had.

Seeing how happy she was, Ronald immediately took out a box of video tapes and showed them to Diane.

This is the trailer for the videotape version of "The Last Action Hero". A torch emits infinite light, and then the camera zooms out quickly, showing Diane holding the torch, dressed as an ancient Greek goddess, under the brilliant clouds, like

The Statue of Liberty was so solemn and solemn, her whole body sparkling, and with the accompaniment of the familiar Colombian opening music, the screen turned black.

Then there was a child sitting in the cinema looking excitedly at the footage on the screen. His face was shining like the light on the screen just like in the opening scene of Diane. Speaking of which, this movie is indeed a gift.

A gift for action movie fans, the entire film is filled with nostalgia and reluctance for the action movie genre.

This is a scene within a movie. What the kid Danny is watching is Jack Slate, a series of movies starring Schwarzenegger that does not exist in reality. This is the latest Jack Slate IV.

In the movie within the movie, the title of Jack Slater IV still belongs to the boss, a woman dressed like a woman from the last century, holding a torch. There is no camera movement, no soundtrack, the whole thing looks very dull, and there is no new title at all.

So exciting.

Speaking of Ronald's special effects team, the results were really good. The picky Guber immediately decided to completely replace the old version in the new movie.

"No, I've seen it in the cinema before. Arnold's performance was pretty good. When I filmed with him before, I didn't expect him to be such a humorous person. Sure enough, he is much better at comedy than Stallone.

.”

Diane smiled and turned off the video recorder. When she saw the name of the character played by Schwarzenegger, she felt unhappy. She found a reason to turn it off and out of sight.

"Yes, he can still complain about his Planet Hollywood business in the movie, and he is really self-deprecating." Ronald didn't react yet, so he just assumed that Diane didn't want to watch it.

Planet Hollywood, a hotel chain funded by Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, and Stallone, now attracts many children to eat there, and there are many images from Hollywood movies.

However, although the turnover is good, the licensing fees for those images are also not low. For the sake of business, Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis have to talk about the hotel wherever there are reporters to advertise their business, which makes it so difficult.

A lot of people in Hollywood avoid them.

For this reason, they are really not favored by the screenwriters, and some of the scripts are not delivered. When they have time, the whole family goes to the restaurant to sign autographs for the children to attract customers. Taking these into account, in the end, they make money and lose money.

It's hard to say.

"Are you going to New York this time or coming back after the premiere?" In the bedroom, Diane helped Ronald pack his luggage. This was one of Diane's favorite things to do back then. She always felt that for Ronald

De prepared neat and clean clothes. When the clothes are used up, Ronald will come back.

I don't know where this feeling came from. At this time, Diane's behavior was not much different from that of the full-time housewives in America, and she was not at all like a well-known female star in Hollywood.

"I don't know, I have to go to London next to attend the royal premiere of Jurassic Park. I promised Steven and helped him contact Princess Diana. Maybe we will start from the east coast." Ronald felt guilty.

He said that when Helen Slater was about to give birth, he had prepared an excuse to stay in New York.

Diane was unhappy, twisted twice, and slapped Ronald's clothes.

"Ahem, do you want to go with me? Then we will meet in London... um, or New York?" Seeing that Diane was unhappy, Ronald sensed a problem and immediately rectified the problem.

"Now, I'm not going. It's such a long journey, and I won't see little Roger for a long time. In fact... as long as you tell me, I feel like you didn't ask me if I want to go, so you just decided on your own.

After the trip, I was a little unhappy.”

"Sorry, I didn't mean to..." Ronald apologized quickly...



"Hahaha, so many people came to the premiere in New York. It seems that everyone really loves to watch this sugar-coated trap..."

A few days later, at the premiere in New York, Tom Cruise was beaming with joy. In addition to grossing 32 million U.S. dollars during the long weekend, the box office was also very high during the week, with a single box office of 10,000 U.S. dollars.

The dollar moves up and down.

By the time of the premiere in New York, in less than a week, the box office had already exceeded 50 million US dollars. As expected, Tom Cruise's magic is not bad.

"No doubt that's the case..." Ronald agreed with a smile. There is nothing wrong with what Cruise said. The overall quality of the movie is also at the level of Cinema Score B, and it can become a big-selling movie.

, it really depends on Tom Cruise’s face, even if the movie itself is not good, female audiences will go to see him.

"The old feeling is back, Ronald. I remember Top Gun was like this back then, hahaha, as long as you direct it and I star, there's nothing wrong with it."

"It's almost the same if you remove me as director, Tom. Now you are the guarantee of box office." Ronald said modestly.

"Not all the movies I star in can be hits..." Tom Cruise also had no choice but to be modest. His movies with his wife Nicole Kidman are not hits. This is strange, since he and his wife Nicole Kidman are not hits.

Movies co-starring with his ex-girlfriend are often big hits. When he was with his ex-wife Mimi Rogers, several projects failed.

The movies made by Nicole Kidman when they were lovers were good at the box office, but the movies made after the relationship was confirmed were box office disasters. It seems that he really needs to be in that kind of uncertain relationship to stimulate his emotions.

Screen charm?

"The Tomahawk cruise missile destroyed the Iraqi General Intelligence Service. Sixteen missiles hit the target. How does it feel? Do you have any ideas for a sequel to Top Gun?" Paula Wagner also came with her this time, and Cruise will play the role.

The decision to interview the vampire made her very uncomfortable. Such an ambiguous movie might destroy Cruise's screen charm. It would be great if Ronald could get him to star in another movie.

"no……"

"Can't take pictures..."

Ronald and Cruise said in unison.

"This is a Tomahawk cruise missile. It was launched from a warship, not an airplane." Ronald explained that this plot is actually not convenient to adapt into a movie. Moreover, the audience's taste has also drifted, and now it is time to play Top Gun again.

In this kind of movie, there may not be many viewers from the east and west coasts who like big planes spraying stars and stripes to blow up others as they did in the past.

After all, even if the attempted assassination of former commander-in-chief George Sr. was a serious act, a reporter named Seymour Hersh criticized the FBI for fabricating some of its investigation results. He is a reporter for the New Yorker and an investigative reporter who has won the Pulitzer Prize.

.

Although this has only been a few years, it is already very different from the situation during the Cold War when the general public supported the general and vigorously retaliated against America for disrespecting America.

"Was it launched from a ship? I thought it was launched from a fighter jet..." Paula Wagner was not interested in such weapons at all, and she stopped talking when she heard that it was launched from a warship.

After all, a warship firing missiles and a fighter jet taking off from an aircraft carrier are completely different in terms of the shocking images. The box office of Steve Seagel's "Ascend the Dragon" fully illustrates this.

got this point.



"Oh, you are so awesome, both movies are in the top five of the rankings!"

Helen Slater, with her pregnant belly, was drinking a prepared nutritional drink in the apartment that Ronald bought her. She was a little edematous during labor, and specialized nurses and doctors took measures. Ronald, who had been a father once,

Nader also has more experience now.

"Haha, you can't calculate it like that. One movie was in the early 70 million, another was close to 60 million, and Steven (Spielberg) and Jurassic Park have now exceeded 230 million."

"That's different. I still think your movie is the best. The plot of Sugar-coated Trap is so good. It's full of crime, love, affair, espionage, adventure, and family. So many elements can be integrated so well. I watch it.

The only one in Hollywood except you is Sidney Pollack."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Helen still has a face of admiration, she likes this kind of in-depth movies best. Film critics in New York also said that this movie was well shot.

He also particularly praised Tom Cruise's rapid improvement in acting skills under Ronald's guidance.

"Ronald, the contract has been signed, totaling $800,000..." Just as he was saying this, Ronald's lawyer Lindsay Dole came over. She helped Ronald get the money from the adopted son of Helen Hayes.

, bought Hayes' house at a price that exceeded the market price.

"This house has a nice view, and it looks familiar." Helen Slater looked at it and felt that it suited her.

"Dear, I heard that Monroe, Katharine Hepburn, Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, as well as Fitzgerald who wrote The Great Gatsby, all lived here. This house also has its own name,

It’s called Pretty Penny”

"Oh, no wonder, I have seen a photo of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy before, it seems to be this white house on the hillside. Honey, I want to go and take a look, okay?"

There seemed to be a love flowing out of Helen's eyes. She put herself into the role of Katharine Hepburn, and then Ronald was his Spencer Tracy. (Spencer Tracy was married, but with Katharine

·Hepburn maintained a long-term relationship.)

"Are you waiting now... later?" Ronald's scalp felt a little numb.

"It doesn't matter, the nurses and doctors you hired for me are very good. I just feel a little uncomfortable in my lower limbs sometimes. Let's go there by car and have a look..." Helen Slater was filled with thoughts of Hepburn and Quartet.

The story of the game.

"Um, okay..."

Ronald had no choice but to ask the driver, Little Bud, to slow down and drive over slowly.

"It's so beautiful here."

This old Victorian house has an all-white exterior. The pillar structure is beautifully decorated, and the back door is right on the hillside. You can directly enter the bedroom on the second floor. You can overlook the Hudson River when you go out. The front door is one floor lower than the back door.

, very grand, and there is a west entrance, where is the lawn and swimming pool. It is similar to the structure of the White House.

"ah……"

As Helen was about to go in, she found termites flying inside. The house was in disrepair. Helen Hayes had lived in it for more than sixty years, and the floors were eaten by termites.

"Let's go. It looks like we're going to need major surgery here to replace the floors, air conditioners, and everything else." Ronald said, looking at the water stains on the wall left by the use of air conditioners. At least a central air conditioning system must be installed.

"Okay, I've written it all down." Lawyer Lindsay Dole wrote down Ronald's request in his notebook and couldn't help but rolled his eyes. This is indeed the style of a Hollywood director, even if he finds a lover, he will give it to him.

If you have a big house, the bankers on Wall Street will at most give you an apartment.
