"Of course" Michelle Pfeiffer put her hand on Ronald, the two smiled at each other and walked into the party crowd.
"Michelle," agent Limato followed, "you can't do this."
"Ronald, I admire you very much, but you have to understand that what Miss Pfeiffer needs now is exposure."
Ronald stopped and said, "Ed, remember? I persuaded Michelle to sign a contract with you. If you don't want her to interact with me, maybe I can let her talk to Michael Ovitz of CAA
chat."
"What? How do you know Ovitz?" Limato no longer tried to persuade Pfeiffer, but followed the two closely, making sure that his valuable assets would not be pried away.
Ronald found Diane Lane and expressed his intention to withdraw first, and asked Diane if she would go with them.
"Michelle, you are here too. Nice to see you here." Diane was very happy to see Pfeiffer here, "Mr. Robert Redford is leaving too. There is no interesting conversation here. I
Let's go too. I left my luggage with the waiter."
Ronald found Ovitz and expressed his intention to send Michelle Pfeiffer and Diane Lane back to the hotel first.
Ovitz glanced at Limato, who was following Pfeiffer, and whispered to Ronald: "Before signing the contract, don't tell anyone about the script, especially people who have relationships with other agents. You
Don’t know what will happen.”
Ronald nodded in agreement. He also remembered what happened to Zinnemann just now, and was a little worried that Zinnemann would say bad things in front of Disney President Ron Miller.
"I'll let Richard drive you. It's hard to get a taxi here. I'll pick you up at the hotel tomorrow. I made an appointment with Mr. Miller, the president of Disney, through connections. We have to hurry up."
"Thank you, Mr. Ovitz."
"You're welcome, this will be our first successful package promotion project at CAA, let's work together."
At this time Diane Lane dragged her suitcase over, followed by the hostess Jane Fonda.
"I heard from Diane that you want to leave first? Have you found the right girl?" Jane Fonda glanced at Michelle Pfeiffer who was standing with Ronald.
"I would like to introduce to you that this is Miss Michelle Pfeiffer. She..."
"She is a client of mine and is about to appear on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. I have arranged a supporting role for her in the movie Charlie Chan." Ed Limato took the initiative and introduced Jane Fonda.
"Ed", Jane Fonda and Limato are old acquaintances. Before signing with CAA, she was also a client of WMA.
"Ed is a very good agent, he always looks out for the interests of his clients." Jane Fonda said a good word for Limato, "Girl, you are lucky."
Ronald and Jane Fonda hugged each other goodbye, took the two girls to find their main agent, Richard Lovett, and prepared to leave.
"Oh, oh...Ronald, you really surprise me." Matt Dillon abducted a beautiful woman from somewhere, and couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw two beauties, big and small, beside Ronald.
"Matt, please contact me after I return to New York."
"Okay, buddy. If you don't come to me, I will come to you. I want to go see the filming of Endless Love."
After bidding farewell to everyone, the three Ronalds waited at the door for Richard to pick up the big car that Niceta and Paula had brought. They would first send them back to the hotel, and then drive back here to exchange for their own cars.
Limato took Michelle Pfeiffer aside and whispered, "I will go and find out about Ronald's relationship and who are his parents?"
"As far as I know, he is an orphan, with only one aunt in his family, and he runs a small shop in Manhattan, New York."
"This is impossible. This is Hollywood. Would Jane Fonda treat a fledgling screenwriter so seriously? Maybe he is a friend of his parents... You should also inquire carefully. Having such a network will be of great benefit to you."
Richard drove Niceta's BMW, and Ronald helped load Diane's luggage and let the two women sit in the back seat. He opened the passenger door, got in the car, and left the lavish Hollywood party.
"Tim, do you think our movie Ordinary People will be a hit?" Elizabeth McGovern, who was a bit fat as a baby, asked while hugging Timothy Hutton, who plays her boyfriend in the movie.
"Of course, dear. Jane also said just now that the test screening was very well received by film critics." McGovern in his arms was a fat girl. Hutton looked at the BMW speeding away with some envy. Whose son is that screenwriter? He
Those two slender girls are more suitable for my taste.
"Bye, good night." Diane Lane had a wicked smile on her face, pulled up her suitcase and went to her room.
After helping Diane check in, Ronald and Michelle returned to their room. The reunion after a long absence was naturally the dessert on page 73 of the script.
After a long time, Pfeiffer hugged Ronald's shoulders and told him that due to Limato's attack, he signed a contract with Lux and got a chance to star in the latest Charlie Chan movie. Ronald was very happy and felt that Pfeiffer had finally come through.
Already.
"Are you going to stay in Hollywood?"
"Not yet, I will go to San Francisco to study editing. If this script is favored by the studio, I will have the opportunity to support myself as a screenwriter. Then I will stop studying at New York University and come to Hollywood.
Looking for an opportunity."
Ronald said his plan. What was more troubling was that Aunt Karen was very opposed to him suspending his studies, and he had to convince her.
"I'm very lonely in Los Angeles. I don't have much to do in the apartment I share with the girl. Every day I just take acting classes, read each other's lines, and then wait for Limato's call." Pfeiffer began to complain, "By the way, why are you
If you don’t call me more, sometimes I can’t find you even if I call New York.”
"It's time to find a way to solve the communication problem." Ronald quickly comforted Michelle Pfeiffer and massaged her shoulders flatteringly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Now the answering machine from ATT Company costs 1,000 US dollars. I will install one when I go back. In the future, the screenwriting business will be busy and I will need one. In addition, I will buy another one."
A machine that beeps so you can page me, it only costs $400."
After Ronald massaged for a long time, his hands began to become unreliable and gradually moved towards the front of Pfeiffer's shoulders. He could feel the girl's breathing gradually getting heavier in his arms.
Looking over her shoulder, she saw that Pfeiffer's face had begun to turn slightly red, and her fair neck also had some red glow. Pfeiffer had some slight freckles, but against the backdrop of her snow-white skin, she looked even cuter.
Ronald stared at Pfeiffer's face for a long time, feeling that the baby fat on her face had faded a little, and her slightly thin face was more in line with her slender figure. Her blond hair was scattered on her shoulders and her closed eyes.
, the eyelashes are trembling slightly.
Perhaps he felt Ronald's hands on his waist, and the heat was transmitted to his body through his palms and clothing. Pfeiffer remembered that Limato had repeatedly hinted that he wanted to get rid of the boy and get to know the real powerful people in Hollywood. He couldn't help but feel
It's a bit embarrassing.
Ronald also discovered this embarrassing expression on Michelle Pfeiffer's face. Usually people's facial expressions don't look good when they are embarrassed. But even if Pfeiffer is a little embarrassed, her face is still very beautiful. On the big screen
When presented, it will be a very delicate expression.
"What's wrong?" Pfeiffer's long-awaited kiss didn't come. "He opened his eyes and took the initiative to kiss the boy and asked, "What are you thinking about? Ronald."
"I'm thinking that maybe you should act in a drama. Your face is a bit thinner. From a professional perspective as a photographer, your face is more suitable for dramas with strong dramatic conflicts. It can bring out the emotional level and richness of the heroine.
The performance was outstanding.”
"Maybe Limato shouldn't have let you take on a role like this in Charlie Chan," Ronald concluded.
"I also want to act in a drama, but you know the audition candidates for drama roles, you can take photos from here to the entrance of the studio." Pfeiffer chuckled.
"Have I really lost weight? I exercise a lot."
"Yes, you won't go back to being a vegetarian, will you?"
"No, I just eat very little."
The two chatted for a long time and fell asleep together.
…
"Very good, you'd better get up early." Ovitz said to Ronald, the co-pilot, in the Jaguar sports car, "Hollywood's life of luxury only belongs to the successful."
"And we are on the road to success?" Ronald continued. The benefits of his gradual return to wrestling and physical training are reflected. After last night's party, he has no problem with energy when he wakes up early.
Ovitz came to pick up Ronald, and the two first went to Disney's headquarters in Burbank to talk to President Ron W. Miller about the script.
Disney and several other major studios are not together, but in Burbank, north of Hollywood. When founder Walt Disney was in power, because the business was animation, and Walt himself was anti-Semitic, he had little contact with Hollywood, which had a strong Jewish influence.
.
Just build a factory with hundreds of painters in Burbank, far away from Hollywood.
After waiting for a long time in the reception area of the president's office, Ovitz even looked at his watch impatiently several times.
A thin man in a suit and tie appeared in front of them.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ron Miller has something to do and can't come to see you."
"Thomas, it's the same thing when I see you. I'm glad to see you." Ovitz showed a professional smile and hugged the man.
Thomas L. Wilhite is the vice president of production for Disney's live-action film division. This time he represents the company to discuss cooperation.
"I read the script that was sent to me in advance," Wilhite said calmly after the greetings. "I personally like this script very much, but under the leadership of Ron Miller, Disney's main focus is
, is entering the youth live-action film market, and there are no plans to start shooting such adult dramas in the near future."
"So this time, Disney will not bid for 'My Brother's Keeper'. Even if you persuade Jane Fonda."
Ovitz knew that Wilhite's appearance to meet them meant that there was little hope for this collaboration, so he put aside the script and chatted with him about the current situation in the industry and Disney's plans for live-action movies."
When the 15-minute meeting time came, I said goodbye and left on time.
The two drove out of the gate. Ronald looked back and saw the iron sign directly above the gate of Disney's Burbank headquarters, and the Mickey Mouse logo with two small circles on top of a large abstract circle.
"So is it because I offended Zinnemann?" After leaving the Disneyland, Ronald finally couldn't help but ask Ovitz in the car why he was rejected.
"It's hard to say, but it's possible. But it's probably true that Disney is focusing on live-action movies for teenagers."
"This momentum started at least before Ron Miller took over as president. I should have thought of it earlier," Ovitz tapped the horn on the steering wheel and said to Ronald.
"In 1976, when Ron Miller was the producer, he filmed 'Freaky Friday,' in which Jodie Foster played the role of a 15-year-old girl who swapped bodies with her mother. I had just
After establishing CAA, the box office of their movie was close to 40 million.
Ron Miller relied on the success of a series of live-action movies to seize power from his wife's cousin Roy Disney Jr."
"Jodie Foster, is she also a client of yours? I like her performance very much."
"She was originally in ICM, but it is no longer important. She decided to quit the industry and go to Yale University next month. Hollywood is cruel. After four years, no one knows this talented girl."
…
In the afternoon, Ovitz and Ronald went to Paramount Pictures.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As the former leader of the eight major studios, Paramount is located on Melrose Avenue in the core area of Hollywood, which is the heart of Hollywood.
This time they made an appointment to meet with Jeffrey Katzenberg, who last year successfully resurrected the science fiction classic in the hearts of Americans and filmed "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"
)".
Captain Kirk, played by William Shatner, returned to the USS Enterprise and achieved good box office results of 80 million. Especially in the first weekend, it broke the first weekend box office record set by the 1978 "Superman" movie.
However, Starship fans criticized the film, believing that the movie destroyed the classic image of Captain Kirk.
However, now that the classic Star Trek series has been resurrected, Paramount is already preparing a sequel, and Katzenberg has been promoted to Paramount's President of Production, under only President Michael Eisner.
"We will bid. Jane is very hot right now. Paramount is willing to bid for any project she participates in." Katzenberg also read the script in advance and learned that Jane Fonda was willing to star.
I'm glad to have the opportunity to take on this project.
"Young man, your scripts are very structured. Is this your first script?"
Katzenberg wears glasses and looks like a typical executive. His tailor-made suit fits well and he looks stylish when standing or sitting. His hair is slightly sparse and his hairline is very far back, and he also looks very executive-like.
After finishing the business talk and still having some time, I asked Ronald a few questions.
"No, this is the second one. The first one I wrote is a romantic love story about the multicultural fusion of New York."
"This is very interesting. The themes of your two scripts are different. Michael, ask your subordinate to send me that script as well."
He was somewhat interested in Ronald, so he chatted with him for a few more words.
"So, what kind of person do you want to be in this industry?"
"I want to be a director and make a movie that people will remember decades from now."
