"Mr. Scorsese, can I take a moment of your time?" Ronald said as usual when he walked out of the screening room door after Martin Scorsese assigned the movie "High Noon" to be screened in today's appreciation class.
intercepted him first.
"Ronald, long time no see. Just call me Marty." Scorsese said hello to Ronald, and the two walked out the door to continue chatting.
"Isabella okay?" The first question came with an American-style concern for the other person's family. Ronald asked Scorsese for help and wanted to be polite first.
"Ah, she's very nice. She cooks good Italian food for me every day." Scorsese smiled and waited for the next topic.
"Hey, that's it. I have a friend who is an actor, and CAA recently signed him. In order to help him grow, CAA agreed to his request, hoping to interview several famous directors for one hour."
Ronald was asked to test out Tom Cruise's agent Paula to see if Scorsese could spare the time to meet Tom.
After the signing of Tom Cruise was completed, Paula immediately flew back to Los Angeles, teamed up with Rick Niceta, and brought Cruise's photos and audition videos to CAA President Ovitz. Ovitz admired Paula very much
I made a long-distance call to ask Tom Cruise which directors he wanted to work with and what his requirements were.
Tom made a list, including director Coppola, Sydney Pollack, Scorsese, and actor Paul Newman. He hoped to have formal communication with the people on the list and interview each of them for an hour, which would be better
Understand the film industry.
It happened that Ronald was going to take Scorsese's class, so Paula called him and asked him to help him.
Ronald also asked Paula and Niceta for help. His agent Richard told him that the script "Intersection" about a cross-cultural romantic love story was very well received, but the company executives were looking everywhere for a Vietnam War script, hoping
He first wrote the Vietnam War script.
Niceta and Paula agreed that if Ronald's Vietnam War script was written to the same level as Intersection, they could recommend it to the company's senior management, including Ovitz himself, at the meeting. The price was that he would be responsible for liaising with Scorsese.
Interview.
"Of course. One hour is no problem. Let his agent call my agent. I'll sleep during the day and let him set a time in the evening."
"Thank you, Mr. Scorsese." Ronald was very happy. "How is the editing of your new film going? Last time at Pia's house, I heard that it will be released in 1979. Why has it been delayed until now?
.”
"Alas..." Marty Scorsese sighed. "Now it's just me and the editor, editing at my house every night, without any assistants, and the progress is very slow."
"how so?"
Scorsese talks to Ronald about the dilemma of new film "Raging Bull."
The dilemma mainly came from two aspects. The first was the starring Bobby De Niro, who insisted on not using makeup and instead used natural weight gain to play the protagonist boxer Jake LaMotta. This led to a six-month interruption in filming.
In the end, De Niro gained 60 pounds and performed a convincing elderly boxing champion, but this also greatly delayed the filming schedule.
The second reason is the black hole movie "Heaven's Gate". Cimino, the fat boy director, tricked United Artists into investing all their working capital into this bottomless pit, which caused "Raging Bull" to be short of funds.
I can't even afford an assistant.
Scorsese relied on an old-fashioned Moviola editing machine to edit at home. The space in the apartment was small and it was difficult for students to help.
"This movie may be my swan song in Hollywood." Scorsese was a little disappointed. Since his musical "New York, New York" took off at the box office the year before last, he actually doesn't have many opportunities in Hollywood.
Only United Artists, which has always treated directors favorably, can still give him money to make movies.
"United Arts may not give us any marketing budget. After I finish filming this movie, I and Isabella will go to Europe to find some government funds and make some small-scale literary films."
The Swan Song is an allusion to describe the artist's last work. These words frightened Ronald and he didn't know how to speak to comfort Scorsese.
After calling Paula and Cruise to tell the good news, Ronald drove to a high-end restaurant on 57th Street. The lawyer told her that her best friend and roommate was an assistant prosecutor for the Southern District of Kings District.
Officer, Helen Gable asked him to treat him to dinner before he was willing to help Pfeiffer deal with the two crooks.
The Kings Borough is actually equivalent to the Manhattan Borough. The name is different, but it is still a trace left by the British colonial period. The legal system and administrative system are divided differently.
Ronald called and made a reservation at one of the most expensive restaurants in Manhattan for 7 o'clock tonight.
Michelle Pfeiffer has a talent for taking care of men. She makes coffee particularly well and helps him pick up dry cleaning. The two of them are enjoying themselves in the apartment. In this way, the price of this treat is not too high.
The waiter at the door helped him park the car. Ronald walked into this Chinese restaurant that was newly opened last year. The antique wooden chairs had a Chinese flavor. The waiter took him to a good seat reserved for Ronald.
I'm waiting for Miss Prosecutor next.
The waiter brought water in a timely manner. Ronald took a sip and looked around. The lampshade on the wall was made into a folding fan shape, the black chairs were decorated with red decorations, and all the tableware, tables and chairs had the restaurant's name and logo on them.
Ronald likes this Chinese style very much.
"Ronald?" The waiter brought a beautiful woman dressed in professional attire.
Wearing a black top and skirt, a light green shirt was exposed, and her hair was tied back in a ponytail. Ronald's eyes lit up. This prosecutor lady was very beautiful and elegant. It was just right to invite her to eat the expensive Chinese food here.
Worthy.
Ronald quickly stood up to greet him. The waiter took the beautiful woman to his seat and pushed up a chair for her to sit down. Ronald felt that the beautiful woman looked him up and down carefully, and couldn't help but think: "As expected of a prosecutor, such a
The scrutinizing eyes make people nervous. If you do this in court, the witnesses will probably have to tell the truth obediently."
"Ms. Gable, Mr. Ronald" the waiter finished the introduction and presented the menu.
Ronald picked up the menu. On the cover was the name of the restaurant, Mr. Chow. When he opened the inner pages, he saw traditional Chinese official dishes.
"Then I ordered some dishes without permission?" Ronald asked the beautiful prosecutor opposite.
"Oh, do you know Chinese food? I will listen to you." Helen Gable's voice was slightly hoarse and very sexy.
“For starters, we’ll have chicken satay and steamed dumplings, for the main course, half a portion of BJ roast duck, crispy beef, green vegetables, shrimp fried rice, and then open a bottle of red wine.”
Ronald saw that the portions on other tables were too small, so he simply ordered more varieties.
When the first hot dish was ordered and served, Ronald felt that the color and aroma were very good. He wondered if the taste of the dish would suit the beautiful prosecutor's taste.
The prosecutor was very satisfied with the taste of the food and even said that Ronald knew good food and was a qualified New York bachelor.
The two chatted happily, and the waiter promptly brought the main course, BJ roast duck, and pancake sauce.
"Can you make roast duck?" Ronald asked the beautiful prosecutor.
The beauty shook her head slightly and indicated with her eyes that she would not.
"Then let me help you. First take the bread, then put the duck skin on it, scoop out a little sauce, add cucumber, then wrap it up and eat it." Ronald said, handing over the wrapped roast duck.
Helen Gable.
Helen looked directly at Ronald, grabbed Ronald's hand with her hand, then took the wrapped roast duck directly with her lips and took a bite.
Ronald only felt itchy as the beautiful prosecutor's tongue brushed across his fingers.
"This sauce is delicious." The beautiful prosecutor added more sauce that was squeezed out into Ronald's hand.
"I thought the price the lawyer mentioned was an expensive dinner." Ronald thought to himself.
"Tala", there seemed to be a sound of shoes hitting the ground under the table. Just as Ronald was about to lower his head, he felt a long leg wearing stockings close to his calf, slowly rubbing it, and then all the way up, all the way up.
Above the knee.
"Hiss..." Ronald felt a little unable to hold it in, so he quickly picked up the ice water and took a sip, "I'll help you make another roast duck."
The beautiful prosecutor flirted with him and said, "You are really interesting. I just like it when you feed me."
"Should we go to your place or mine later?" The prosecutor's hoarse voice and seductive words came out of her mouth, which was particularly uncontrollable.
America's prosecutors can essentially be regarded as public prosecutors representing the people. The prosecutor's dress is similar to that of a lawyer. She wears a suit and uniform, neatly combed black hair, and a light blush caused by red wine on her cheeks, which makes Ronald feel a little bit...
The mind is swaying.
"Michelle is still at my house...I have to..."
Before Ronald could finish speaking, the beautiful prosecutor rushed in, "Does that mean going to my house? It's been a long time since I brought home a man I met for the first time."
"Hehehe..." The prosecutor smiled happily. His best friend and roommate Lindsay Dole was introduced correctly. He was tall and strong. Apart from his dirty blond hair and amber eyes, he was a replica of Superman, especially when he stood up to greet him just now.
When I was young, I saw that my waist and legs were strong and strong.
"Ahem..." Ronald choked on his water when he heard this, poured half a glass on the table and himself, and quickly picked up the napkin to wipe it.
"Sorry, Miss Gable." Ronald stood up and I went to the bathroom.
After wiping his water-soaked pants with a towel in front of the mirror, Ronald scooped up some cold water and splashed it on his face. He finally suppressed the urge and walked back to the table.
The beautiful prosecutor Helen Gable was no longer at the table. Did she just go out to pick up the car? Isn't this too impatient? Ronald was having a little internal struggle. Going to another woman's house for the sake of one woman's affairs didn't count.
Scumbag?
But on the other hand, men's instincts are ready to take action.
Ronald was thinking when the prosecutor lady came over:
"I'm sorry, Ronald. I received a page. There is a big case at the moment and I have to rush to the scene. Let's leave our appointment until next time? Rain Check?"
"Okay." Ronald said two words with difficulty and luck.
"Don't worry, Lindsay will teach you how to apply for a court injunction. The prosecutor will make a legal move based on the report of the Southern District of Manhattan Police Department and summon the two people. In this way, the court can approve Lindsay's request based on this evidence.
Apply."
"Thank you, Miss Gable."
"Don't forget our agreement." The beautiful prosecutor hurriedly walked out of Mr. Zhou's restaurant.
Ronald sat down and took another sip of ice water, then raised his glass and said, "Waiter, give me more ice water!"
