Not everyone, like Ronald, doesn't like to attend packing parties. For the director, packing parties are just a temporary break, and he will soon start the hard work of editing and mixing.
But for actors, the packing party is a rare occasion for carnival and celebration. Especially for actors like Elizabeth Sue, who continues to study at Harvard. "The Dragon King" is like a wonderful experience.
A lot of champagne was drank at the party.
"Elizabeth, do you want to continue working in Hollywood? Just follow me and I'll guarantee you a starring role." Chad McQueen, a second-generation star, drank too much at the party and began to harass Elizabeth Sue.
This kind of Harvard top student is a novel challenge for him. Unlike those beautiful girls who aspire to enter the industry in Hollywood, this one is really smart.
"Don't do anything, stay away from her." Pat Johnson came over and separated him and Su. He was a martial artist with a sense of justice, and he didn't rely on making money in the film and television industry.
"Okay, okay..." Chad McQueen took a step back, "This party is too bad. I'm going to a better place. It's hosted by Stallone. Anyone who wants to go can come with me."
"Yeah, Sly", several second-generation star buddies called Stallone by his nickname, and they went noisily to the party hosted by Stallone with him.
"Hi, Sly. I'm Chad and my dad is Steve McQueen." Chad McQueen arrived at the new party location drunk, but he still had some sanity and knew that he was just a deceased superstar.
His son is not the same as Clint Eastwood who praises his son, so he first went to the party host to say hello.
"Hi, hello, what have you been up to lately?" Stallone turned around and gave Chad a hug. This kid's father, Steve McQueen, is an action superstar, and it can be said that he is the main action star.
The actor blazed a trail and allowed Stallone to retain some respect.
"I just finished filming a movie, 'The Kid,' which is very similar to your 'Rocky'. It's an inspirational counterattack story." Chad chatted quickly. He didn't have much experience talking to Stallone.
"Really, haha." Stallone immediately left Chad aside and went to greet others, "Hello..."
"Uh..." Chad, who was asking for trouble, focused his energy on the various beauties at the party.
"Go and find out about that little boy Ronald's new movie." Stallone knew it was Ronald Lee's new movie, which he disliked very much, so he whispered to the agent next to him.
"We just finished filming. It was invested by an outsider from a record company. I guess he was deceived by the director..." The agent was also from CAA and knew about Ronald's project and reported it to Stallone in detail.
A half-smile appeared on Stallone's face (half of his cheek muscles and nerves were damaged and he could not smile). As the hottest action star in Hollywood in the past two years, he is increasingly enjoying his power.
I heard that the little boy who let the woman his brother fell in love with ran away and made a new movie. It is probably just another bad exploitation film. Want to copy the story of his own screenwriter's famous "Rocky"? Let him see it then.
See what a top male star is, hehe...
Stallone discovered a beautiful woman with excellent temperament coming to the party, "Who is that?"
The agent who was reporting the situation of "Longwei Boy" was stunned by this sudden turn, "Ah... look, is that woman with short brown hair? She is Rachel Ward, an Australian. Next to her is her boyfriend.
Bryan Brown is also an actor."
The agent's professionalism brought him back to his senses, and he gave the name and resume of the actress and the man next to her.
"Hi, Rachel, welcome to my party." Stallone got the beauty's name, stepped forward and hugged Ward warmly.
"Hi Sly, this is my boyfriend, Brian. We just got engaged."
"Engagement?" Stallone's interest was greatly reduced. Engagement in Hollywood has many meanings, some of which mean marriage, but the formal wedding has not yet been held."
But Stallone took another look at Rachel Ward. This beautiful woman had a very delicate appearance and a dash of heroism between her eyebrows, which gave Stallone a different feeling.
"When you break up, you can come to me." Stallone handed Rachel Ward a business card of his agent, and then left gracefully.
"Hahaha..." Beauty Ward was amused and put the business card in her small bag.
"Hi", Ward's engaged boyfriend Brian was a very strong man. He grabbed the business card, tore it into pieces and threw it on the ground. "Do you still want to date him?"
"You?" Rachel Ward looked at her boyfriend's gaffe and was a little angry for a moment. This level of harassment is very common in Hollywood. "He is a big star in Hollywood, I just wanted to give him his contact information."
"Do you want to be with him?" Brian drank too much, got a little drunk, and threw the glass on the ground. The Australian has a straightforward temper, and the angry part of the Irish in his blood came into play, and he threw Rachel away.
Al Ward is gone.
Rachel's eyes were a little red in anger. She looked at the fragments of the business card on the ground and the glances from the side, took out her sunglasses and put them on, and then left without looking back.
…
Early the next morning, Ronald arrived at the airport with his luggage. He was wearing a handmade suit and a pair of boat shoes. He was clean shaven, his hair was neatly combed, and he was dressed like a top student from an Ivy League school.
"Sir, by the window or by the aisle."
"aisle"
Weintraub sent him a first-class ticket, so Ronald was able to enjoy better service. He got on the plane early, sat down, took out a book and read.
"Sorry, can you let me in?" Rachel Ward appeared on the same flight. She wore big sunglasses to cover her face and asked Ronald politely.
"Ah, of course." Ronald stood up, helped Ward put the luggage on it, and then stepped aside to let Rachel Ward go in and sit in the window seat.
Without seeing her face under the big sunglasses, Ronald only felt that her figure seemed a bit familiar and she walked with a good temperament. He turned around and read his book again.
As the plane flew into the sky, Rachel Ward rarely saw a man like Ronald who was indifferent to his appearance. She turned her head to see what books Ronald was reading, which was more charming than her own.
.
"Journey to the Sunset Strip - Analysis of Billy Wilder's Films"
"Are you a film school student? Is this your homework?" Rachel Ward took off her sunglasses and asked Ronald.
"Ah, no. I have already dropped out of school. But this does not prevent me from reading movie books. This one is very interesting. It takes out all of Billy Wilder's movies and analyzes his scheduling." Ronald was reading enthusiastically.
When someone asks, he looks to the side.
"I have never read a book analyzing directors." Ward looked at Ronald and smiled. She had a beautiful smile, her eyes were curiously searching, and she had a sense of innocence.
"You're not that..." Ronald remembered where he had seen this face before, no wonder he was wearing sunglasses.
"You played Maggie in 'The Thorn Birds'" Ronald thought of her, the beauty who starred in the miniseries with Barbara Stanwyck, who still had long hair in "The Thorn Birds".
"Rachel Ward", Ward shook hands with Ronald.
"Oh, I'm Ronald Lee. I'm a film director."
"Yeah, of course." Rachel Ward suddenly lost interest in Ronald. He lied about being a movie director at such a young age, even though he recognized himself as a movie actor.
Ronald, much to his own displeasure, began reading Billy Wilder's books again.
"Ronnie!" Arriving at New York's JFK Airport, Ronald saw his high school sweetheart, Douglas Hansen III Jr., coming to pick him up.
"Doug", the two friends hugged each other warmly.
"Click, click", many reporters rushed to take photos.
Ronald looked in the direction where they were taking pictures, and it turned out to be Rachel Ward, who was sitting next to him, leaving with a blond man.
"David! Rachel! Have you rekindled your old relationship?"
"Are you going to collaborate on a movie?"
"No, I'm just here to pick up a good friend. Please leave some space," the man said to the gossip reporters. Those gossip reporters actually put away their cameras.
"Who is he?" Ronald was curious. The reporter seemed to respect him very much. The blond man's young face was full of pride.
Little Douglas pointed to the sign at the exit.
"JFK?" Ronald saw the JFK International Airport sign.
"Yes, that is David, the son of the former Attorney General and the assassinated Robert F. Kennedy who ran for office. Like his cousin John Jr., he is a frequent visitor to Manhattan disco."
Douglas Jr. drove Ronald back to his apartment in Lower Manhattan.
"Donna, have you decided which university to go to?" Little Douglas looked at Donna with a smile, "Why don't you come to my Columbia instead of following your brother's example and going to New York University, which has no campus."
"Ronnie", Donna came up first and hugged Ronald, "I prefer Harvard and MIT"
"MIT, Harvard, whatever." Douglas Jr.'s family did not send him to a prestigious school in New England, but only allowed him to accumulate connections in New York City.
Ronald Da Le, Donna is a female academic, no ordinary person can compare with her.
"What do you think? It's better for us to accept this condition, or to find lawyers and accountants to negotiate with them again?" Ronald told Little Doug about the situation of "Night of the Comet" and asked for his opinion as an investor.
.
"I don't know. If I had to choose, I would choose to take the money and leave."
"Why?"
"Easy to worry, I'm not investing in your movie to make money anyway. My grandfather is already very happy to be able to make a profit, saying that I am the third generation of the family who can best find business opportunities while having fun."
"Um, this is a nice thing to say about you, right?" Ronald was completely speechless.
"I am a member of the family. For us, it is not necessary to understand everything. As long as we have professional knowledge and make friends with capable people." Little Doug smiled happily, "My grandpa said that."
"Actually, what I'm more happy about is that your movie has made me famous, and I can meet more female stars in the future. They will no longer turn a blind eye to me at parties, hehehe."
