In addition, the movie theater chain under DDH Media also achieved very good results during this period. Combined with the results of many parties, Wall Street analysts were very satisfied with the company's first second quarter results and expressed their appreciation for the listed company.
The stock price has a very good positive effect.
After the 180-day lock-up period, Ronald followed the market and reduced his holdings of some shares in exchange for a lot of cash.
Since the stock price is in a period of rising, this action of reducing holdings is generally regarded by the market as Ronald wanting to exchange some money for personal enjoyment.

However, living inside Hollywood Park and in a mansion blocked by a large number of trees outside, these people really have little chance of sending in promotional materials.

The next week, another movie with rich special effects, "The Man in Disguise" was released, stealing the limelight from Forrest Gump and replacing it at the top of the box office charts.
This is a classic comic book movie adapted from Dark Horse Comics. Starring Jim Carrey. Ronald screened one at home and also saw it on TV. Before the release, some of the dialogues of the main creative staff were interviewed
.
Jim Carrey is still so funny. One very special thing about him is that he can make facial expressions that many other actors cannot do.
Ronald felt that this must not be entirely determined by talent, but by being a dedicated comedian, training day after day, year after year. Because Jim Carrey is so intolerant of his various weird faces.
Feel free to do so. When promoting the disguised geek, you can cooperate with reporters and make various expressions.
The other heroine was a bit beyond Ronald's expectation. When Coca-Cola was working on a project for a famous director to shoot a Coke commercial, this blonde girl was used.
Her name is Cameron Diaz, and when she was being interviewed, she still looked like a silly girl with blonde hair. When answering questions, she sometimes couldn't understand some of the reporter's professional terms.
But what is very interesting is that she plays an anti-type character in this movie. The heroine she plays is not defined as a villain like the blondes in other movies, who will betray the male protagonist.
In the end, the sexy blonde stayed honest and fell in love with the male protagonist. The brunette, who is generally considered to be smart, loyal, and dedicated in Hollywood movies, became the villain in this movie, and in the end
The hero was betrayed and the magical mask was almost snatched away by the villain.
However, in real life, Cameron Diaz still very much conforms to the stereotype of a blonde. I don’t know if it’s because it hasn’t been released yet and I don’t know if this movie will hit the top of the box office. She doesn’t seem to have accepted it yet.
Specialized public relations course, when interviewed by reporters, he just said what he wanted to say, very straightforward and even bold.
For example, he admitted that he had been in the acting world for a long time without any success, and almost went to the San Fernando Valley to shoot erotic movies. Fortunately, she got the role of a Coca-Cola advertising girl, passed the audition, and also worked for
This earned him some popularity. Only then did he get a more professional agent to sign a contract with him, and then he successfully started his film career in Hollywood.
"I am very lucky. Let me tell you, I have always been treated well by some kind people. For example, I got that role because of Ronald Lee's favor... No, no, no, don't get it wrong, Ronald
He is a rare gentleman in Hollywood. I have never seen such a professional and kind producer. He always respects actresses.
I can say that if there is a real gentleman in Hollywood who is like in fairy tales, it is Ronald. I heard that he loves his wife very much. It is my dream to meet such a gentleman.
Luck, I wish them all the best... You know, I'm a very lucky man. Every time I hit rock bottom, something very lucky comes to me."
"Ronnie..."
When Ronald was taking a shower at night, suddenly a long white leg loomed at the door of the bathroom. Ronald turned off the shower, stuck his head out and saw that it was Diane simulating the scenes in those classic movies.
I put on my bath towel and bathrobe and walked in.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What happened to you today? I feel like when we were just together, you were full of passion and temptation..." Half an hour later, Ronald lay on the bed
On the bed, I asked a little strangely.
"I just feel that I love you very much..." Diane was still thinking about it...
"Well..." Ronald changed his position with satisfaction and hugged Diane to sleep. It must have been Cameron Diaz's interview, which Diane accidentally saw.
The movie "The Man in Disguise" was produced by an unknown small company and distributed outside of several major distribution giants, New Line Cinema.
New Line has a long history, and has also produced hit small- and medium-budget movies such as A Nightmare on Elm Street and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The release of "Weirdos" is another proof of their good vision.
At the beginning of this year, New Line was acquired by Jane Fonda's new husband Ted Turner's Turner Broadcasting. It can be said that from beginning to end, the film "The Man in Disguise" has nothing to do with Ronald.
Such honest praise from an unrelated third party is definitely the most credible. Diane heard praise for her husband and sincere blessings for her family, especially when it came from a sexy blonde.
The bomb made her feel particularly happy.
You know, such a beauty is completely the darling and muse of Hollywood directors. According to the general trend, it is very common to make some exchanges in order to play such a role. In addition, Cameron Diaz has a first-class figure
, a pair of eyes staring at you is also very addictive.
Having such a beauty certification shows that Ronald is a completely gentleman...
Hmm, or maybe he still likes women with dark hair? Diane thought, it seems that she still wants to be Jackie, not Marilyn...
Both of them slept very deeply that night. Early the next morning, a refreshed Ronald got up and opened the curtains. It was already past nine o'clock in the morning.
Call the maid, prepare breakfast, and bring it to the room for Ronald and Diane to have a long-lost breakfast in bed. Sometimes they leave behind all kinds of trivial matters at work and the responsibilities of taking care of children at home.
, couples enjoy the world of two people, which can greatly enhance their relationship.
Now when Diane sees Ronald, she smiles with a look of attachment.
"The witness situation in the OJ Simpson case continues to develop. It is reported that OJ's driver refused the media's price of up to $50,000 to tell his story. He stated that he would testify for OJ in court and prove his innocence.
Prosecutor Marsha Clark's previous policy of not appearing on the prosecution's witness list if she appears in the media has greatly affected the channels through which ordinary viewers can learn the truth about the case..."
The news from last night was replayed on the TV, and the details of the OJ Simpson case were being broadcast again. Now, ordinary viewers in America no longer follow the TV series of major TV stations every night, but watch the news media’s coverage of the OJ Simpson case.
Latest reports.
Speaking of which, the O.J. Simpson case may be regarded as the first court trial in the history of America to be fully covered by television.
What did the victim's family say? What did OJ's lawyer say? What views did OJ's ex-wife express? What does he think of his former teammate who is now in the limelight and is known as the second OJ football player?
What strategy will the prosecution likely adopt? What experts will the defense invite to join the team, and what methods will they have to defend against police firepower?
For a time, OJ's news commentary program, which was updated every night, was said to have higher ratings than NBC's TV series "Law and Order," which reflected on various strange cases involving the police and prosecutors.
After all, TV shows similar to Law and Order are all "fake", while the contents of the Simpson case are all "real" and are constantly being updated in real time.
To be honest, Ronald was a little tired of watching it. Reports from major TV stations were often repetitive. Daily news commentary programs would take out yesterday's old news and hype it up again, adding a little update from today.
.After watching it too much, I seem to be watching reruns of the same episode every night.
But those who watch TV every night are very interested in this form of simulcast. The maids, gardeners and other staff at home spend time in front of the TV every night, and they must watch the day of the Simpson case.
Will go to sleep after updating.
Even Queen Mother, the most mature and solemn Chinese-American among them, asked Ronald mysteriously when he came in to clean up after he had finished breakfast, "Luo Sheng, do you think Simpson killed his wife?"
?”
"Oh, I don't know about this. Have you ever taken a civics class in America? In America's system, anyone is innocent until he is pronounced guilty by the court." Ronald was also asked and couldn't laugh or cry. Mother Wang
Do you think he is a master who knows everything?
"Hey, I'm just asking, even if I don't kill him, it's not a good thing to treat my wife so cruelly. After this man got rich, he became very bad. Oh, I'm not..."
Wang Ma consciously made a mistake and scolded the boss Ronald.
"You don't know, Wang Ma. After Simpson became rich, he divorced his original black wife and then married his current white wife who was killed..." Diane defended Ronald very much. OJ Simpson was
Can representatives of moral turpitude... be the same?
"Ouch, no wonder, no wonder, this is Chen Shimei... He divorced his wife and then killed her. It's so bad. This time, the court can't have a judge like Mr. Bao and give him a guillotine?"
"What dog?" Diane was confused.
"Hey, he is just like Justice Marshall and Justice Oehlen, a very fair and impartial judge in ancient China..." Ronald almost laughed out loud.
Finally, today's news about the O.J. Simpson case has passed, and news about the entertainment industry continues to be broadcast on TV.
"It is reported that the famous Hollywood female star, Kim Basinger, declared bankruptcy... Her dispute with the production company of 'Helena in a Box' resulted in her being ordered to pay US$8.5 million in damages, plus the amount of money she spent on the ranch.
Bad investment, had to enter bankruptcy proceedings.
It is reported that her marriage to Alec Baldwin was not registered in California, so the property of both parties would not automatically be converted into joint property. Baldwin escaped and would not declare joint ownership with Kim Basinger.
Bankruptcy... He was very angry about what happened to his wife, saying that the bad behavior of David Lynch and his daughter, the film's director Jennifer Lynch, were the main culprits that caused the film's failure..."
"Ouch...how could this happen?"
Diane suddenly became interested. This kind of thing is too much. Can you make a movie and bankrupt the actress? Can the producer sue the heroine? If this is what happens in the future, which actress will
Dare to make a movie?
Ronald was urged by Diane to call Richard and finally learned something about the situation.
It turns out that this movie is the debut of a theatrical feature film directed by David Lynch's daughter Jennifer. She has also filmed some music videos and commercials before. Such an erotic suspense blockbuster was very exciting to put in her hands.
Irresponsible.
The film's original heroine was Madonna. After a long delay in 1991, Madonna announced her withdrawal. It was reported that she was unhappy with Jennifer Lynch.
After Kim Basinger took over, he hoped to rewrite the heroine Helena to be less accustomed to satirizing others and more suitable for her own star image. Therefore, a long-term battle broke out with Jennifer Lynch, and finally Kim Basinger
Also had to quit.
In the end, David Lynch found a girlfriend. His ex-girlfriend Isabella Rossellini, who had starred in a similar movie "Blue Velvet" directed by him, took over the role and eventually made it into a movie.
However, the movie box office was very poor. It was delayed for such a long time and the production cost exceeded 10 million. In the end, the movie only received 1.7 million at the box office.
Jennifer Lynch was so angry that she sued Kim Basinger to pay for it. In the end, I don’t know what lawyer she found or what judge she met, but she actually won the case and ordered Kim Basinger to pay compensation of more than 8 million.
, directly causing the latter to file for bankruptcy.
Richard asked Ronald if he wanted to help Kim Basinger? The relationship between her and her husband is also very tense now because Baldwin is unwilling or unable to help her on this matter.
"But you have to be careful. David Lynch must be behind this matter. Not only does the project lose money this time, but his daughter's career as a Hollywood director is completely cut off. Do you really want to offend him? He is in the arts.
There are still many supporters in the film and cult film circles..."
What Richard is talking about is David Lynch. The themes of the movies he has made over the years are very disgusting and challenge the values of ordinary people. The last movie Blue Velvet was about a gangster who kept a singer in captivity.
This time, "Beauty Boxed Helena" was even more disgusting. During the rating, it was rated NC-17 by the MPAA.
For the sake of box office, Jennifer Lynch finally had no choice but to reshoot an ending, changing the story to a story about Helena's various behaviors that exceeded the limits of human beings, which turned into a daydream of the male protagonist.
"I never liked him (David Lynch)," Ronald's debut film was almost snatched by Lynch. Besides, the TV series Twin Peaks he directed and produced also failed to finish in the second season.
, the only story that was filmed that conformed to mainstream values, was not filmed well either.
"Okay, do you want me to recommend some strong lawyers to Kim Basinger?" Richard understood, and Ronald still wanted to help. What he didn't quite know was what Ronald wanted to do.
degree.
"Yes, this verdict is too ridiculous. We have to help Basinger correct it in the appeal. Otherwise, everyone in Hollywood will be in danger. If they don't agree with the director on the movie, they will be sued for compensation? This precedent cannot be set..."
In addition, Ronald also hates people like David Lynch. It is one thing to shoot some taboo subjects, have some erotic elements, and explore the boundaries of art, but it is one thing to make those perverted people in the movie
It's another thing if the villain's values are presented as normal.
If you like making these experimental films so much, why not go to Europe where they are more popular. The Hollywood ecosystem really doesn’t need such a rule-breaker.
