Attorney Lindsay Dole applied to the court for a temporary restraining order (TRO). Since the temporary restraining order does not require a court hearing, it can be issued as long as the applicant has sufficient evidence. The police received the investigation records after Pfeiffer, and the district attorney
The oral transcript of the usual conversation with Pfeiffer became conclusive evidence.
The TRO prohibits the two scammers from approaching Pfeiffer. It is valid for 14 days, and you can apply for an extension after it expires. It is enough for Pfeiffer's agent to return to New York from Hollywood to help her completely solve the problem. By then, this will not be something Ronald has to consider.
.
However, the Manhattan Police Department found no trace of the two men. It is very likely that they had fled America and went to Central and South America to continue deceiving people.
The casting of "Endless Love" is also becoming increasingly clear. Michelle Pfeiffer listened to the advice of her agent Limato and gave up the competition for the heroine. Instead, she was satisfied with getting a supporting role of the heroine's classmate. Tom
Cruise is also confirmed to play Billy, a character who has a small role but plays a key role in promoting the drama.
"The Blue Lagoon" premiered to terrible reviews but surprisingly did well at the box office. Guber lost patience with Brooke Shields' mother's increasingly tough negotiating attitude and began a third round of auditions for the leading role. What Ronald Heard
, that girl named Meg Ryan has a lot of hope.
Ronald did not participate in auditions again, and he mainly devoted his time to final exams and script writing. His agent Richard gave him a lot of feedback. This Vietnam War-themed script was almost not a free creation, but a CAA-based script.
Customized in the direction of Hollywood.
American people still have a lot of psychological trauma from this war with heavy casualties. The weekly draft lottery has made a generation of middle-class parents fearful that their college-age sons will be drafted and sent to Vietnam.
Another group of parents are on tenterhooks every week for fear that the postman will come to their door and hand over a death notice. Every week, TV stations show footage of the bodies of the dead being wrapped in bags and taken off the plane. It can be said that the Vietnam War still belongs to American families.
nightmare.
Therefore, Hollywood studios are careful to avoid cruel scenes that directly depict the Vietnam battlefield. Many so-called Vietnam War movies actually describe the beauty of life before the war, the trauma of post-war veterans, or write a fantasy story with the background of the Vietnam War.
.
This is also an unspoken rule in Hollywood. No one will buy a Vietnam War script that is not written in this way. Even if you find foreign funds or pay for it yourself to make a movie about the defeat of the American army in Vietnam, it will not be released in theaters.
.
Perhaps it will take a few years to pass, when the new generation of movie audiences no longer have such memories, before a film that reflects the Vietnam War in a positive light will be released.
Ronald is actually happier with a script like this. There are no war scenes, which means the budget is small. If it focuses on post-war emotional scenes, it is possible to invite big-name stars to star in it. This way, the probability of his script being filmed is higher.
Agent Richard made many long-distance calls and the two communicated many times. Ronald summarized the feedback given to him by CAA executives and concluded that the Vietnam War was about highlighting three elements.
The first is the relationship between comrades-in-arms or a couple. The second is the destruction of human nature caused by the Vietnam War. The third is preferably some controversial plots of the Vietnam War.
Ronald thought for a long time and suddenly realized, isn't this just copying the formula of the movie "Homecoming" that won the Oscar for Best Actor and Best Actor last year?
There is a love triangle, a disabled veteran of the Vietnam War, and a military wife having an affair with an old lover. The relationship CAA executives are copying award-winning movies.
However, there must be a way to copy, and the three plots of "Rong Gui" must not be used again. Ronald decided to go deep into the veteran group and look for materials related to the three elements.
On this day, Ronald came to the dance supplies store again. There were many widows of Vietnam War veterans who would come to hand over the leg warmers they had made and drink some coffee and chat. RTKD dance supplies store, for these veterans’ wives,
It’s not just financial benefits, but also a social occasion.
Ronald communicated with them more and learned some unknown inside stories about the Vietnam War. For example, because the military conscription system was fair on the surface, many wealthy people sent their children to study abroad and actually evaded military service.
The son is responsible.
A veteran's wife also told some anecdotes that her husband had told. A few years after the Vietnam War started, the recruitment became increasingly troublesome. In order to make up for it, McNamara, a "genius" Secretary of the Department of Defense, actually used his brain to the IQ
For mentally handicapped people who do not meet the passing standard.
McNamara formulated a plan to recruit tens of thousands of mentally handicapped people into the army every year. He himself had never been on the battlefield, and he fancifully believed that soldiers only needed to obey orders and did not need a high IQ.
As a result, these soldiers, called "McNamara's Idiots", were not suitable for the battlefield at all. They could not even master the basic skills of shooting and throwing grenades. The troops had to allocate already nervous manpower to look after them and not accidentally injure their own people.
.
The casualty rate of these mentally retarded soldiers on the battlefield is very high, several times that of ordinary soldiers. Many wives of veterans know that their husbands have talked about having mentally retarded comrades, but they do not know that this is a planned act by the American government.
Ronald thought the plot was very good. It was controversial, anti-war, and criticized the American government. It would definitely be welcomed by Hollywood.
He went to several libraries in New York to search for relevant information. But he found nothing. It seems that the federal government is aware of the stink of such a scandal, censors news reports, and the original materials have not yet been declassified.
So Ronald's plan to reveal the scandal failed, and he instead focused the plot on individual phenomena.
A mentally retarded man serving in a military camp was ostracized by everyone except a platoon leader who came from a military family that had been in the military for generations. He took pity on him and often took care of him during normal training and battles.
However, the mentally retarded soldier still held back the whole company in the battle, and he was eventually killed in the biggest battle in the movie...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After retiring, the platoon leader found the family of the mentally retarded soldier who died in Vietnam and helped take care of his parents and younger siblings. The family of the mentally retarded soldier was very grateful to him and advised him to take care of himself.
The death of his son was not his fault, and I hope he can start a new life with understanding.
Until one day, the younger brother of a mentally retarded soldier came to play with the platoon leader. In the platoon leader's diary, he discovered the truth about his brother's death...
"So what is your truth?" Diane Lane found the outline of the script written by Ronald at Aunt Karen's house. She was very curious, so she asked Ronald directly.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe he killed the enemy who made a sneak attack and saved the entire company; maybe he threw grenades randomly, killed his comrades, and was shot dead by the platoon leader."
Ronald shrugged and replied.
Diane Lane often comes to see her cousin Donna for tutoring in math and science, so that she can enter high school, complete the high school course and get a diploma. In fact, it is a bit of an escape from her father, Bert.
In particular, the western films she acted in were not satisfactory at the box office, and there were no good reviews from film critics. Recently, the number and quality of scripts sent to her have been plummeting.
"What? You haven't thought about it yet?" Diane was surprised, "Isn't it true that when writing a script, you first think about the story and then write it out?"
"I don't know how other people write. I just follow a certain framework, decide the general direction of the plot, and then fill in the details. As for the plot, anyway, I have to revise it many times based on feedback before finalizing it."
Ronald has met Diane several times recently at his aunt's house. Donna's tutoring has turned out well. Bert is reassured and even encourages his daughter to come over. Being friends with girls of the same age and with high IQs is actually good for his daughter's acting career.
"Okay, when you finish writing, you must show it to me first. By the way, why doesn't your script have a name?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, but I have to come up with a resounding name. No one knows me in Hollywood, so the name of the script is the only tool to arouse the interest of producers. I have to wait until I have a script that is made into a blockbuster movie."
Name the script whatever you want."
Diane Lane's interest quickly shifted away from the script, "Why doesn't Michelle come with you?"
"She is reading the script of Endless Love and heard that filming will start next month. She wants to be fully prepared."
Diane Lane has been in the entertainment industry since she was a child, and she knows that actresses generally care very much about whether the scenes they appear on are beautiful. Michelle Pfeiffer, with Ronald's help, should be guaranteed to appear on camera.
"With you as the director's assistant, I will definitely give her a few frontal shots, huh."
Ronald laughed. Director Zeffirelli and Michel shared the same agent, so he actually had no need for his input.
But before that, Ronald took some photos of Michelle and drew some storyboards showing Michelle's scenes. Zeffirelli accidentally saw it and greatly appreciated it, and invited Ronald to be his crew member.
assistant.
Ronald estimated the shooting time, which was basically within the time range of his summer vacation, and he didn't want to be too far away from Pfeiffer, so he agreed.
"Ronald, do you think the rules my father set for me are reasonable? I actually regret not taking on 'Blue Lagoon.'" Diane was quite jealous that Pfeiffer could have several front-facing scenes for a supporting role.
"I can't say for sure. Bert is an insider. He should know best what is the development path suitable for you."
"But his ideas were from decades ago. Find a big-name director and try to play the leading role." Diane Lane complained, "Nowadays, big-name directors rarely direct youth movies. I either play the daughter or the daughter."
When I play the younger sister, I always have very few scenes."
"It's hard to get into a movie with a lot of scenes, but the critics still don't say good things about it."
"Film critics only evaluate after the fact. In fact, it has nothing to do with the artistic level of the creator." Ronald advised.
"Humph, your fame has been praised by film critics, of course you said so." Diane Lane leaned back on the sofa, raised one leg and hung it on the armrest, and began to concentrate on drinking drinks and watching TV.
Ronald Xiaoxiao, his old acquaintance, two film critics from the Chicago Tribune and the Sun, Bald Man and Glasses, their film review TV show has been syndicated nationwide by PBS since last month.
In this way, each new program could be seen by audiences across the country, and they became the most popular film critic duo.
They both spoke highly of "Famous" and gave it 3.5 stars out of four. Ronald felt that the film failed, such as the narrative being incomplete, revealing too many dark sides, and using too many foul language, which led to the rating of "Famous".
R, in the mouth of glasses Albert, has become a big advantage.
However, the bald Sisko's views are somewhat similar to Ronald's. The songs are good and the dances are good, so the teenage audience likes him.
Their vigorous promotion did not significantly improve the film's box office. After its large-scale release, the single-theater box office soon fell below the average line, and it will soon be closed down by theaters.
However, the two's earlier film review programs were also picked up and broadcast by PBS. The audience's response to the episode where they reviewed "Rock of Ages" seemed to be good, and the box office of the midnight show was even higher. Roger Corman also played
Called to congratulate, Ronald's second dividend payment is just around the corner.
