Chapter 580 Celebrities have no friends

"This is very good, the photo is very spectacular..."

The scenes of Forrest Gump running around America shot by the second film crew were completed. Tom's younger brother Jim, after wearing a beard, has a face and body shape very similar to his brother's. In addition, the two people's speaking accents

Similarly, under Jim's deliberate imitation, Ronald didn't even react when he listened to the recording. It seems that there is no need for Tom Hanks to dub the voice again in the later stage.

There are some very interesting plots in these scenes shot all over the country. For example, someone came to ask Forrest Gump for advice, and unexpectedly got a revelation and made a best-selling product. Another example is that some people thought that Forrest Gump was a person who had received the apocalypse.

, so I ran with him, looking forward to the moment of enlightenment.

But in the end, Ronald still retained the humor in the script. This kind of miraculous story will eventually become a new religion. Ronald doesn't want anyone to think that Forrest Gump is a psychic liar.

So at the end of the run, he used a Forrest Gump-style humor to make him just feel tired and stop running, leaving a group of followers on the roadside.

These shots of Forrest Gump running will be edited together. The singing of "Born in America" ​​by Bruce Springsteen symbolizes the changes in Forrest Gump's running over the past few years.

Ronald did not forget to put the shot of wearing a blue and white plaid shirt in the first place. This is a metaphor he arranged in this movie. Whenever Forrest Gump grows older and experiences more, he enters into life.

When he reaches a new stage, Forrest Gump will be asked to wear a blue and white plaid shirt.

This is an image of a middle-class American ordinary person, which can also allow the audience to see familiar image symbols in their subconscious, and thus realize the changes in Forrest Gump's life.

Ronald smiled happily when he saw the shot of Forrest Gump running across the central desert. This is Monument Valley, and it was also John Ford's favorite filming location. Including his most classic movies: Mount Fit, The Searcher, and

The Grapes of Wrath was all shot here.

And this is not the first time for Ronald himself to shoot here. When he was filming Longway Boy, in the first shot of Daniel's mother traveling across America to live in Los Angeles, there was a shot of someone driving past the iconic red sandstone.

lens.

Being able to pay tribute to Hollywood's most famous shooting location in the Midwest in this place is also a reflection of Forrest Gump's ordinary and hard-working spirit.

Ronald was still busy with the post-production work of the movie. Although not every day, he often went to the special effects studio to see the progress of the work. Ed Bastian had already returned to New York after finalizing the strategy with Ronald that day.

A few days later, Viacom formally made an acquisition offer for Paramount. Ed Bastian's plan to integrate Ronald's television, newspaper, and film businesses also officially began. But Ronald's main

My energy is still focused on filming movies.

Although Ronald's understanding of business is not bad, he is limited to understanding and selecting a big strategic intervention. If you ask him to implement it, he is not a suitable person. Ed Bastian has been in the past two years.

The results of running several different media were very solid. Ronald entrusted him with this integration operation and also appointed Ed Bastian to become the general manager of the subsequent media group.

The filming of Forrest Gump finally ended in Los Angeles. The packaging party of this movie was different from other movies. The crew members basically gradually withdrew from the crew after finishing filming in South Carolina and Washington DC.

Every iconic actor held a farewell party after filming all their scenes.

The special effects shots shot in Los Angeles were limited to a few main characters such as Forrest Gump and Lieutenant Dan. After the filming was completed, Ronald simply invited them and family members to his home to have a family.

Party atmosphere.

The children of several main actors all had guest roles in this movie, and they all came to play at Ronald's house this time. Tom Hanks' daughter Elizabeth, Goldie Hawn's daughter Kate, etc., a large group of teenagers

, just having fun in the swimming pool.

Several boys took out the high-end Star Wars lightsaber that Ronald bought and chased each other in the yard. This attracted scolding from their parents. Don’t coax Ronald’s son, Roger Jr., to take away his father’s treasure.

Take it out and let you play with it.

But Ronald asked them to just play and break it. Ronald Uncle still has a lot here. The props used in the actual filming of the movie, and the hand-drawn storyboards presented by Akira Kurosawa, are all the same as those in Mondrian's collection.

The original paintings are locked in the collection room.

Little Roger was very generous with the "toys" at home and gave them to his brothers and sisters to choose from. The only condition was that they play with him. Several girls liked this kid very much and coaxed many dolls out of him.

From Dragon Boy's CP to Top Gun's Cruise and Val Kilmer dolls, there are many.

"Okay, okay... You don't mind that little Roger is too young. I'm very happy to be able to play with him." Ronald hosted the barbecue there, and all kinds of secret sauces were flown in from Japan for free.

After brushing it on, the guests all ate happily.

Those children have parents who work in Hollywood, and they have known some of the rules of the industry since they were young. Whether it is for themselves, for fun, or because of their parents’ instructions, little Roger is very happy to have so many brothers and sisters to accompany him.

He played. In this way, Ronald was also very happy and took out a killer gift to reward these children.

"Pandas in China are very popular. I have some friendship with Mr. Counselor and got some VIP invitation tickets. If you want to go, you can go see the pandas with us. There is no need to queue, and you can also take photos with them up close..."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yeah..." These children were really happy now. Uncle Ronald screamed so loudly that they all wanted to come and ask for a ticket.



"Daddy, when can you get home..." Little Roger was very young after all. After watching the pandas, he was still energetic on the way home. When he arrived in Los Angeles, he suddenly felt very tired and wanted to sleep.

"Soon, if you want to sleep, sleep next to Daddy in the car first..." Ronald hugged his son and motioned for little Bud to slow down. Soon the car drove into the home in Beverly Park, where

After Ronald handed his son to the nanny, Mrs. Wang, he had to go to the study to work.

"Here...your coffee." Diane was very satisfied today. Ronald took care of her family so much, which made her feel happy from the bottom of her heart. She specially brewed a cup with the coffee machine to reward Ronald.

After waiting for half an hour, Diane saw that the lights were still on in Ronald's study. She walked into the study elegantly wearing silk low-cut pajamas.

"You haven't finished your coffee yet? How long will you have to work before I can make you another cup?" Diane leaned closely on Ronald's elbow from behind, hinting to Ronald.

"Oh, no, I'll go to bed right away..." Ronald looked back and saw Diane wearing light makeup and walking into the study barefoot like an elf, and he immediately responded with a deep kiss.

"Well..." Diane was very satisfied with the kiss, but when she pulled Ronald back to the bedroom, she suddenly paused.

She took Ronald's remote control, turned up the TV volume, and saw a female guest in red on the TV talking about Michael Jackson's scandal. She commented: "This woman looks a bit like Janet Jackson, but

A little prettier."

"This is LaToya, the sister of Michael and Jenny. He has the worst singing career in the Jackson family..."

Ronald knows this woman. She has often appeared on TV to defend his brother MJ in the past two days. However, in Ronald's impression, he seems to have never seen her around MJ. Maybe he is working so hard now because he wants to impress MJ.

Let's get a little influence from the superstar's younger brother.

"What happened to MJ?" Diane held Ronald's hand and the two walked through the dim corridor.

"I feel like there are two huge forces colliding with each other... In short, in this matter, all of them are disgusting characters. For some interests, they show their ugly sides."

Although MJ tried their best to hide this matter from the public eye, the ordinary people were not alone behind the plaintiff dentist. The media revolved around this scandal and came up with a new one every now and then.

Hot topic, making headlines again.

In the media, instead of disappearing as MJ hoped, the scandal became more and more popular. Even people who don't care about entertainment news will talk about it on a daily basis.

Just like the Los Angeles riots back then, many people took the lead on this. They were divided into camps based on whether they were black or not, or whether they were fans of MJ. There were people who actually turned against each other because of their different opinions on this matter.

As for the matter itself, things took a turn in MJ's favor. He hired the notorious Hollywood talker, private detective Pellicano, to start attacking the accuser Evan Chandler in a gossip media "hard copy"

Come on.

The main direction is that Evan Chandler relied on his son to blackmail Michael Jackson. He once proposed a settlement agreement of 20 million US dollars to MJ. MJ had already built a house for the mother of the child and also offered to

Evan Chandler also tried one, but he was greedy and refused, so he found a group of lawyers specializing in compensation lawsuits to dig out a large piece of gold from MJ.

For a time, the public's opinion of the plaintiff's father took a turn for the worse, and everyone tended to believe that MJ was blackmailed by his parents with deliberate intentions. As a result, Michael Jackson returned to continue his world tour.

Who knows, then, Ronald and Diane had just finished breakfast, and ABC's morning news revealed new developments in the MJ case, and the LAPD interviewed two new witnesses.

Later, among the newspapers and magazines that were brought in, Ronald dug out the hard copy that was now the main battlefield for the revelations from both sides. Sure enough, it contained detailed revelations from the plaintiff.

The LAPD sent people to the Philippines and interviewed two former employees of MJ. One security guard said that he was fired by MJ and kicked out of Neverland because he knew too much.

There were some things that he did not disclose to the LAPD, but told the hard copy magazine Better Justice.

He said Michael Jackson ordered him to destroy a photo of a naked boy.

Another day later, another person close to MJ betrayed him. His maid, Blanca Francia, claimed that she "resigned in disgust" after seeing Jackson taking a shower with a child.

At this time, Michael Jackson could no longer pretend that the matter had been settled, so he had to interrupt the tour again and hurried back to America.

"Is MJ okay? Do you need any help this time?" Ronald was at home and received a call from MJ's assistant.

According to him, MJ is now very weak and this incident has had a very negative impact on his reputation and psychology.

He didn't know how to face the media or answer reporters' questions. So he could only find a place to hide and see no one except his good friends. All troubles would be handled by lawyers.

Because MJ himself became the focus, all his trips were watched by the paparazzi. This time he hoped that Ronald, who never had many exposure opportunities with him, could borrow a plane.

"Hi, Ronald. Can you help me?"

Finally, Michael Jackson answered the phone himself. His voice was weak and a little trembling, and Ronald felt that his words were a little disorganized, as if he was on the verge of collapse at any time.

"Of course, I'll have the pilot ready. Just call him if you need it at any time. How are you doing?" Ronald still couldn't hold back and asked after the superstar who had helped him.

Body.

"Oh, it's too bad. The damage caused by the Pepsi-Cola advertisement back then is now coming to me to repay the debt, with interest..."

MJ said a few words with a tearful tone, and calmed down his mentality slightly, "I'm fine. With the help of friends like you, I will get through it. That dentist father is a bad guy who doesn't care about children. I don't like him..."

The friends he mentioned were actually only a few. Apart from Ronald, they were Elizabeth Taylor, and Elton John in London... I have fame and property, and I would not be friends with him specifically because of profit.

People, except one...

That person is Elvis Presley's daughter, Lisa Presley. The two knew each other before, but this time because MJ was involved in a scandal, Lisa was the only one among acquaintances who supported MJ without hesitation.

The two of them talked on the phone every day. It just so happened that Lisa Presley, as the daughter of Elvis Presley, had no real career and had a lot of time to chat with MJ on the phone. Every time, MJ's mentality would change from the verge of collapse.

As his condition improved, he had somewhat come to rely on Lisa Presley for emotional support.

MJ took the private jet provided by Ronald and returned to the remote airport in Los Angeles. He avoided the paparazzi and returned to his home, Neverland. The place occupied a very large area and the paparazzi could not enter.

But his peace did not last long. A week later, Jordan Chandler and his parents filed a lawsuit against Jackson. They accused him of sexual assault, seduction, willful misconduct, intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraud and negligence.

As a civil lawsuit, the company seeks astronomical compensation.

After this incident was exposed, Michael Jackson could no longer pretend that nothing happened. Their legal team quickly asked the judge to postpone the civil lawsuit on the grounds that the LAPD was investigating a criminal case.

This is also equivalent to publicly admitting to the public that the LAPD is investigating his potential criminal case. This is the first time the media has received confirmed testimony from MJ.

"Wow..."

Public opinion immediately exploded, and people from all walks of life began to continuously invite relevant people to go on TV to discuss the matter. The security guard who had previously disclosed MJ's privacy was also exposed and received an informant fee of US$150,000 for hard copies.

For a time, as long as you were a friend of MJ, went to his Neverland Ranch, and worked there, you could appear on TV and receive generous rewards.
