"Ronnie, Diane got a movie heroine and is going to Vancouver to film soon."
Ronald went to his aunt's house for dinner in the evening. At the weekend family reunion dinner, Donna couldn't wait to announce the good news for Diane Lane.
"Oh, congratulations!" Ronald didn't have champagne, so he raised a Coke to congratulate Diane.
"What movie is it? Who directed it?"
"It's a movie about a girl punk band, just like the movie you directed, Ronald." Donna answered first.
Diane raised an eyebrow, as if she wasn't happy with Donna's comparison of the low-budget exploitation film "Rock of Ages" to the big-studio movies she was in.
"Paramount invested US$6 million and was directed by music mogul Lou Adler. It's called 'All Washed Up.'
The name Lou Adler was familiar, but not in the field of music, but in the field of movies, and Ronald seemed to have seen it somewhere.
By the way, isn't this name the executive producer of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"? It turns out that the producer didn't want to be a producer and wanted to change his career to a director.
"He is a record company owner, but he is very artistic and creative. I heard that Paramount originally wanted him to direct 'All the Time', but he insisted on directing this story about punk. This is an area he is familiar with."
Ann Lane's deliberately stern face could not hide her happiness.
"Hahahaha..." Diane, who was tickled twice by Donna, finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and the two little girls burst into laughter.
"When filming starts next month, can we go to the Vancouver set to see Diane? Mom?"
"Of course, dear, we haven't traveled in a long time." Aunt Karen agreed.
"Yeah," Donna and Diane high-fived.
"Are you coming with us, Ronnie?" Donna asked again.
"I still have to go to class, and there are new changes in the sequel to 'Grease', so the script needs to be rewritten." Ronald shook his head. Traveling abroad may not be a luxury for him before the New Year.
"Then will your father, Bert, go to Canada with you?" Ronald asked Diane.
"Well, he will go to the set to join me."
Diane Lane is not a fool. Of course, a beautiful 15-year-old girl cannot do such a stupid thing as going to a foreign country to film alone. Bert turned out to be accompanying Diane throughout her filming life. Although the two often quarreled,
After we no longer live together, our dissatisfaction with each other has improved.
"Who is the hero?" Ronald asked.
"There is no male protagonist. The story is about a two-woman punk band. The other girl's parents are actors, the daughter of Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd."
Ronald yelled, he had seen the movie of Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd. They played a couple in "The Wild Angels" directed by Roger Corman in 1966.
A couple who are members of the motorcycle gang "Hell Riders".
This is Roger Corman's highest-grossing movie in many years, and Ronald was deeply impressed. The leading actor is Jane Fonda's brother Peter Fonda, riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
"Her name is Laura Dern, and she is two years younger than me."
Two years younger? Born in 1967. Wasn't she conceived while filming "The Wild Bunch"? Ronald chuckled.
Back in his apartment, Ronald turned on the desk lamp, looked at the "Grease Sons" script he had written on the table, opened the drawer, and put it at the bottom. Ronald looked at the table with himself and
Cameron, Gale, Roger Corman, and others who participated in the famous film were taken together, lost in thought.
The great director Brian De Palma rejected Olivia Newton-John's participation in the new film. This means that Olivia has withdrawn from the film industry and will not guest star in "Grease".
She originally wanted to use the gimmick of reuniting with her old partner John Travolta to attract some fans. Since she can only participate in the show alone, it will not do her any good.
The original male lead, disco singer Andy Gibb, was recently sent to hospital for treatment and announced that he would take a break from his singing career and recuperate for two months.
CAA's agent Richard told himself that he was actually sent to a rehabilitation center for compulsory treatment because of an overdose of illegal drugs.
It's obvious that Hollywood is fickle. Suddenly, the biggest blockbuster guarantee is that the leading actor from the previous film will appear as a guest star, and the original male lead will be a loser.
Paramount decided to take this opportunity to withdraw from filming and let its sister company Universal take over the project.
The first thing Universal did after accepting the offer was to identify the protagonist as Timothy Hutton, a young actor famous for "Everyman".
Ronald saw it at Jane Fonda's party.
"Ring ring ring ring..."
Ronald picked up the phone receiver and it was Rick Niceta, one of his agents.
"Ronald, Universal has reached an agreement with producer Sterwood. Sterwood hopes that you will come to Los Angeles again to discuss the new story structure. Universal means to start over and advance the story to immediately after the original work.
, it’s still a story from the 1950s.”
"It's already October, and they still have to re-develop the story. Will they still have time to start the project before the end of the year?"
"This is probably the reason why Sternwood came to see you, right? I asked the secretary to help you book a ticket. But this time there is no business class reimbursement."
"Okay, I'm going to school to ask for leave." Ronald muttered. The teacher of the ancient poetry course also attached great importance to sign-ins and gave a higher score to daily sign-ins and Q&A. If he was absent too much, he would be in trouble.
"Also, Jane Fonda has finished filming On Golden Pond and is back from the location. She wants to talk to you."
"This has nothing to do with me anymore." Ronald didn't want to think about it.
"Go and see her, Jane is not an unreasonable person." Niceta advised him to go.
"Okay, okay." Ronald agreed. The two made plans to go to Los Angeles next Monday.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The next day, Matt Dillon went roller skating with him, and Ronald took his cousin Donna to play with him. Diane Lane found it boring
She doesn't want to go, she has to wait until winter to go to the skating rink in Central Park.
Dillon's main purpose was to date Brooke Shields. Ronald didn't tell the truth, and after receiving Dillon, he introduced Donna's identity, and then gave the two of them a Polaroid snapshot.
Matt Dillon signed the message "To dear Donna, may your dreams come true" and then signed his own signature.
This made Donna giggle non-stop. Having a cousin in the movie industry and autographs from these teen idols was always a handy perk.
When they arrived at the roller skating rink, they were greeted by Brooke Shields and her mother Terry.
Matt Dillon was stunned. His date came to the appointment with his mother. This was very different from what he imagined as a "date".
Reporters in the distance clicked their shutters and took photos of the two teenage idols together. Terry also brought a photographer to take photos of his daughters Brooke and Dillon at a close distance, and asked them to pose.
There are many couple poses.
Ronald noticed that Brooke had put on a full set of makeup, obviously ready for today's photo session. Unlike Dillon, who could only rely on his natural red lips and white teeth.
Then it was Ronald's turn to come up and say hello to Brooke. He also took out his Polaroid camera and went through the usual process of taking photos of Brooke and Donna, signing autographs, etc.
Over there, Dillon had already recovered from the blow, and quickly rented roller skates and helped Brooke put them on. He also had the opportunity to teach Brooke how to skate. Terry couldn't say anything about this small physical contact.
Ronald also rented roller skates for Donna, and then walked on the ground pulling Donna forward slowly. The two people who lived in the countryside of Staten Island did not know the technology of roller skating.
"Ronald, doesn't Donna know how to roller skate? Let me teach her." Brooke Shields put on her roller skates and skated forward with a graceful curve.
"Thank you, Brooke." Donna was very happy today because the American girl idol personally taught her roller skating.
Dillon's idea of teaching Porky also failed. He skated over and said to Ronald, "Have you noticed? The roller skating rink is closed to the public today, and there are only a few of us. Those reporters were also called by her mother, right?"
"You don't know Brooke's mother Terry very well." Ronald smiled, "I said I wish you good luck."
"Hey, brother. You should have told me earlier." Dillon patted Ronald.
"I don't want to spoil your fun."
"Shxt" Dillon cursed, then skated to the center of the roller skating rink, and had no choice but to focus on skating.
