"Lie down and I'll bring you chicken soup." Aunt Karen learned that Ronald had a cold, so she came to his apartment and made him a family-owned cold remedy, a pot of chicken soup.
"I've drank coke and cooked ginger." Ronald lay on the bed and wiped his nose with a handkerchief.
I go to the wrestling gym twice a week to exercise with Douglas Jr., and my body has not had a cold for a long time. But recently, a flu epidemic has started in New York, so maybe I got the flu this time. No wonder the symptoms are more severe.
"It's better to use chicken soup. This is what your mother taught me to make."
Ronald remained silent. He had only seen photos of his mother who died in a car accident.
Aunt Karen thought he was missing his mother again, so she brought him chicken soup that had been cooked overnight, put it on the bedside, touched his face, and said, "Drink it obediently. There is still a pot of chicken soup in the kitchen."
, I made you two sandwiches, you eat them with chicken soup, I have to go to Donna’s teacher-parent meeting.”
"I understand, go ahead, aunt, don't let me infect you."
After watching Ronald obediently finish the chicken soup and eat a few bites of the sandwich, his aunt picked up her bag and walked to the door, "I'll come back to cook for you tonight."
The sound of the door closing was heard, and Ronald thought of the movie clip from his dream again.
This dream contained a lot of information, or for Ronald, who wanted to be a director, it contained a lot of information that had been ignored in previous dreams.
The opening subtitles of the 15th Anniversary Edition indicate that "Fast-paced Richmond High" is a movie that people will still watch many years later. Ronald doesn't know what movies can enjoy the treatment of commemorative editions in the future video tape market, but commercial
Society must make money before it can make money.
The box office performance of the original film should not be too bad when it is released in theaters.
In the movie, Spicoli is the only actor he has seen, Sean Penn. The actor of the heroine Stacey also seems familiar, but the only shot is a long shot in the swimming pool, and Stacey only has a brief silhouette.
Ronald couldn't see clearly.
The other actors, including the beauty who plays Linda, have never been seen before. Such a movie without any stars seems to be a small production?
Counting back from the 15th anniversary, it was released in 1982, so according to Hollywood's pace, filming will begin next year.
Thinking of this, Ronald picked up the phone and called his agent Niceta. Since it was a small production, it was bound to be popular. He had to fight for the opportunity. No matter what, he must participate in the filming and post-editing of the film from beginning to end. This way
Once a film has qualifications, it can be used to attract investment as a director.
"Has the deal been finalized for David Lynch's directorship? What kind of position can I get if I participate in the production?" Ronald was waiting for his secretary to transfer the call, thinking about the questions he was going to ask his agent.
"Have you heard it, Ronald?" Niceta picked up Ronald's call from her secretary, "You are very well informed, I was about to call you to tell you."
"What?"
"You've been nominated for a Golden Globe, Ronald, congratulations."
"Ah?" Ronald was so surprised that he felt like his nose was drying up. "Best screenplay? Do I have a chance to win?"
"No, it's Best Original Song." Niceta corrected, "You are not a star. Whether you can win the award depends on whether Dolly Parton has time to perform at the awards show.
"What do you mean?" Ronald didn't quite understand.
"The Golden Globe Awards are usually given to stars who attend the awards show. If they go, it basically means winning. Dolly Parton is the biggest star among the nominees for Best Original Song. If she doesn't go, you will have a chance."
"I would ask the world-famous producer David da Silva specifically. He is now jumping up and down in Hollywood to promote Erin Cara. He will not pass up the opportunity of a Golden Globe Award. Also, don't forget
Prepare a dinner dress. If the nominee needs it to attend the dinner, you can make it yourself or rent one in Hollywood."
"I'll make a set and I'll use it in the future." Ronald thought to himself.
"The first draft of my script has been written and will be sent to you."
"Very good. David Lynch was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Director. Tom Mount, the president of Universal Pictures, admires him very much and will contact him when the first draft of the script arrives. At the awards dinner next January, he said
Maybe you can still find a chance to discuss the new film."
"When can I officially sign a contract with Universal? I want to follow the filming and post-editing of the movie from beginning to end."
"At least wait until the director is confirmed. Don't be nervous Ronald, this is not a director and a screenwriter. Only one person from a crew can be the director. All we want is an opportunity to observe. The Directors Guild organizes some young directors to go to the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China every year.
Studying in a studio's big production and becoming a director's apprentice.
What we are looking for is nothing more than an informal learning opportunity. There is nothing to be nervous about. This is how the children of many celebrities enter the industry. I can guarantee that after the director candidate is determined and the project is officially approved, you can join the group to learn at any time.
." Niceta asked Ronald to relax, this kind of position is easy to arrange.
After receiving the unexpected good news and the promise to study, Ronald felt refreshed and his body felt much better.
After several days of recovery, Ronald recovered from the flu. It was almost Christmas. Auntie began to prepare for Christmas.
Ronald was called to prepare the Christmas tree, and he happened to have an appointment with accountant Lawrence to check the accounts.
"You were nominated for the Golden Globe Awards? Congratulations." Lawrence and Ronald used receipts to check expenses while drinking coffee. "To be honest, I didn't expect you to attend the Golden Globe Awards so soon. Maybe it won't be long.
, I would have an Oscar-winning client.”
"For your good advice, there is still a big gap between the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars. He was selected by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, and there are only less than 90 judges in total. The Oscars have thousands of judges to vote, and the degree of authority is higher.
Much more." Ronald showed off the knowledge he learned from the broker to the accountant.
"I will watch TV then. Will the Golden Globe Awards be televised?" Lawrence asked. Award shows in the film and television industry, where stars gather, are very attractive to him.
"Yes, NBC will broadcast the Golden Globe Awards dinner, and I also need to prepare a dress to receive the award. It is too expensive to have it made by a tailor. I plan to go to a rental store in Hollywood to temporarily rent one."
"You can try the tailors in Chinatown. There are many red tailors there. They have been making formal suits for two generations, and the prices are not expensive. They made mine. If you like, I can give it to my tailor.
Introducing to you." Lawrence stood up and took a few steps, and even deliberately stretched out his hand to make some movements.
Ronald took a look at Lawrence's jacket. It was indeed very good. No matter how he exercised, the clothes stuck to his body.
"Not bad, remember to introduce him to me."
"How about we go there later? It takes a long time to make formal clothes. It would be better if you go earlier."
"Don't forget to buy a Christmas tree." Aunt Karen heard that Ronald was about to go out and quickly told him.
"I won't forget it." Ronald opened the newspaper on the table and read it, waiting for Lawrence to check his receipts one by one.
“Brooke Shields and Leif Garrett visit Central Park’s Wallam Skating Rink.”
"Why is there no picture for this entertainment news?" Ronald was a little surprised. With Terry's personality, she would not forget to bring a photographer.
"The Wallam Ice Rink is going to be closed for renovation. It is said that the refrigeration system is aging, causing many potholes on the ice. It is temporarily closed for safety reasons. The mayor of New York said that it will allocate funds for renovation and open next winter." Lawrence said.
Ronald understood. It seemed that when the two of them went to the skating rink, it happened to be closed due to safety reasons, so they didn't take any pictures of skating together. "It's a pity, I originally planned to take Donna to have fun."
"Yes, there is only one large open-air skating rink in New York. The small skating rink in Rockefeller Center only receives 150 people a day. We can't make an appointment at all."
…
"Mr. Li's figure is really slim, just like a clothes rack." The red tailor recommended by Lawrence was an old man wearing old-fashioned glasses. He had a soft ruler wrapped around his neck and asked his apprentice to give Ronald
Measure the size.
"The time for the dress is too tight. Fortunately, Mr. Li's figure is standard. If we modify this dress, we can make it in time for the Golden Globe Awards. The two formal suits need to be modified slowly. I will notify you to try it on at that time."
Ronald got in touch with the tailor and felt that his workmanship and conversation were good and the price was cheap, so he simply ordered two more formal suits.
Then Ronald drove to the Christmas market, picked out a small Christmas tree that looked good, put it on the roof of the car like everyone else, and drove home.
"You think of a way, Ronnie." In the evening, Donna looked at the small Christmas tree that Ronald bought in the living room. When she heard that she couldn't go to the Wallam skating rink, she reluctantly said, "Diane will come from Canada right away."
We’re back, we agreed to go together.”
"Okay, then I'll ask my agent Eddie to find a way to book some tickets for Rockefeller. Is Diane's movie finished? When will she come back?"
"She called back and told her that she had met her mother in Canada. Bert and her mother had a fierce quarrel, and Diane was very unhappy, so I asked her to go skating together."
