Diane's temper came and went quickly, and the two of them got tired of being together again the next day.
However, both Ronald and her avoided discussing the film career and focused on having sex with each other to have the fun of youth. Diane's personality was a bit fiery, so every time Ronald and she got together was like dry wood meeting a raging fire, which was very exciting and interesting.
taste.
Ronald thinks that such a straightforward girl has a very cute personality and there will be no misunderstandings. However, the two of them don't have many similar hobbies except movies, so they don't have much communication as a couple. On the contrary, it's a bit like "
"Friends of Interest".
On the 26th, Coppola finally received the additional investment check, and Diane also went back to shoot. The two made an appointment to wait for her to finish filming and find time to get together.
Two days later, Ronald waited for a call from Minahan Golan at home, preparing to ask him to help solve the issue of "Sahara".
Soon a call came from Brooke's mother Terry. She and Brooke Shields came to New York and invited Ronald to negotiate with Minahan at the hotel where they were staying.
Ronald promised to go right away. This kind of negotiation, in which both sides are asking for themselves and are basically certain to achieve a good result, is not difficult.
In the hotel room, Brooke nervously combed her hair with a bristle comb in the bathroom. She began to mutter to herself that she hadn't seen Ronald for a long time and today was an opportunity. After the conversation, the parties went to celebrate together. At that time, her mother
Terry wouldn't stare at him like this.
"Brother, are you really not going to Club 54 tonight?" Terry asked outside.
"I'm a little tired and don't want to go."
"Well, you've already been there many times, but tonight there will be many celebrities coming to attend the New Year's party, which is an annual reservation of Club 54."
"Ding dong..." The doorbell rang.
"I'll go check it out," Brooke dropped her comb and went to open the door.
Ronald and Minahan happened to meet each other on the elevator. They walked up together, and Minahan stepped forward and rang the doorbell of Brooke's room.
"Ronnie," Brooke opened the door hopefully, only to see Minahan's fat face full of smiles.
"Brooke, Ronald and I came together."
"Come in", Poji let them into the living room without saying anything.
Terry just happened to come out of the room. A small glass of whiskey in the morning cheered him up. This was the dose agreed by his daughter to keep her mind clear during negotiations.
"Ms. Shields," Minahan said with a pretentious kiss on the hand, "About the marketing plan for the Sahara film..."
Terry raised her hand to stop Minahan's flattery, "Minahan, this movie was panned by critics when it was previewed, and Brooke doesn't want to participate in the film's premiere and marketing tour. She doesn't want to participate in the film's premiere and marketing tour."
Now my main focus is on her studies at Princeton, and I don’t want this bad movie she made before enrolling to have anything to do with her.”
"How can you say it's a bad movie?" Minahan rubbed his hands in embarrassment, "Ronald, tell me, my 'Sahara' always has merit."
Ronald looked over, and Terry also raised her eyes to see what he would say. Next to her, Brooke's eyes looked over, even more intently waiting for Ronald to express his thoughts.
"Terry, Brooke, I think this movie is definitely not what we imagined when we started shooting, Lawrence of Arabia plus the Blue Lagoon..."
"But..." Minahan was anxious.
Ronald patted his shoulder and stopped Minahan from continuing, "But this movie does have one benefit for Brooke's image..."
Terry's eyes immediately lit up, turning from suspicious to serious.
"When Minahan first started the project, he had one consideration. During the Paris-Dakar Rally last year, British Prime Minister Margaret's son, Mark Thatcher, disappeared for a week during the rally. This film will
of interest to British audiences."
After saying that, Ronald poked Minahan.
"Ah, yes, we have contacted the British distributor, Starlight Cinemas. They are very interested in the desert off-road rally plot in this movie, and it can attract enough audiences. Let Mark feel comfortable in the desert
After a week of drinking, the scandal that led to the dispatch of the imperial army to search was exposed again. It happened that the workers there were very dissatisfied with the Prime Minister..."
"Porky..." When Ronald saw Minahan, he was still talking about the movie, so he had to take over the topic, "Porky is known to have an appearance in the 1980s, but it has not been recognized by the public in the British fashion industry. This is a good opportunity.
America's sweetheart visits Britain..."
"Ah, yes..." Minahan reacted and began to explain in detail his plan for Brooke's trip to England. "We will now make the name of this movie in Britain, and then take advantage of the popularity of media reports to come back.
Released in America.
"That's okay. Brooke happened to be invited by several magazines to shoot covers in England. Also, if Brooke wants to attend the premiere in London, I have to make sure that famous stars there participate, and I have to get MGM.
The issuance guarantee..."
Seeing that the negotiation was getting better, Ronald relaxed and looked around.
Just in time, Brooke's eyes also turned over, and Ronald smiled at her.
"Quack, Terry, it's settled. I will arrange your first-class flight and a five-star hotel suite in London." He shook hands with Terry and reached an agreement. Just in time for the spring break, Brooke went to London to work for
While promoting the premiere of "Sahara", she also took some photos for the British edition of "Vogue" magazine, where readers were also very interested in her journey from a model and actress to a top student at Princeton.
"Very good, we finally reached an agreement." Ronald saw this and stood up to leave.
Minahan also packed up the new agreement and picked up his briefcase.
"Ronald, thank you." Terry came over and hugged him. "Thank you for being able to find a focus that satisfies all parties."
"It's nothing. Pooji has helped me a lot, with just a little effort." Ronald waved to Pooji, "Then I'll leave first."
"Ronnie!" Brooke was anxious. She originally expected Ronald to have another romantic date with her today, or even go further, but Ronnie didn't seem interested.
Ronald, Minahan, and Terry looked at Brooke with three pairs of eyes, waiting for her next words.
"I, I...I want to go to Club 54 with Ronald. He promised me last time." Brooke became quieter as she spoke.
"Are you finally willing to go? Great, Brooke, let's go tonight. Little John is there too, and there are many celebrities going to the New Year's party at Club 54 tonight."
"By the way, Ronald, I will put you on the guest list when the time comes."
"Uh... okay." Ronald looked at Pooji's anxious eyes, as if she still had something to tell him, so he agreed first.
"I'll see you off," Brooke abandoned her reserve and took the initiative to see Ronald and Minahan out.
After going out, Brooke avoided her mother's gaze and quickly whispered in Ronald's ear and asked, "Why don't you call me after you go on vacation?"
Ronald was stunned and looked back at Brooke's wonderful eyes, which were within easy reach, "I thought you liked romantic male companions." Didn't he already make his attitude clear in the last interview?
"I..." Bo Ji twisted her eyebrows when she heard Ronald's words, and almost cried, "That was an answer agreed upon for the sake of the program's effect. Didn't I say it later...
"
Ronald was confused for a while. Is there anything more to say?
When Bo Ji saw Ronald's reaction, she understood, "You go find the video tape and check it out. I'll wait for you tonight...".
In the evening, Ronald took a taxi to Club 54 again. This time the doorman saw him and stepped forward, "Mr. Ronald Lee, please come in through here." The blond doorman opened an opening next to the queue.
, let Ronald in.
"Thank you, do you still remember my name?"
"Of course, your friend is upstairs." After Ronald entered, the doorman called the phone to inform the waiter inside.
Ronald walked through the lively dance floor, went up to the second floor, walked through the suspended corridor, and came to the balcony.
Brooke was waiting for him there. She put on light makeup, slightly weakened her raised eyebrows, and made her golden hair into big waves.
She wore a strapless black dress and a necklace set with diamonds around her neck. She wore earrings set with diamonds on both ears, and there was a bracelet on her right wrist.
Brooke stared at Ronald with a pair of big glasses and walked in slowly.
Ronald raised his hand and took her hand, placing his other hand on it, "I found the interview video from that day."
"Hehehe..." Bo Ji smiled, revealing a dimple on one side, "I will take advantage of the spring break to go to London. Will you come too?"
"I'll try my best. I still have a movie editing to process." Ronald calculated the time. He might just be able to make it, but if something unexpected happened during the writing, he might not be able to go.
"It's okay, I'm very happy that you came today." Poji gently pulled her hand out, then took Ronald's arm, and the two of them walked into the largest private room.
"Where's your mother?" Ronald looked around and didn't see Terry.
"She's in there and listening to little John and his brother talking." Brooke accompanied Ronald into the room.
The lights inside were off and everyone was chatting in a slightly dark room. Ronald didn't get used to it. He blinked and heard two men arguing in his ears.
"In 1983, what do you think is the most important thing?"
Ronald's eyes adjusted to the darkness, and the person speaking was a handsome guy he had seen on TV, John F. Kennedy Jr., the son of the former commander-in-chief and the darling of New York social circles.
"I think it was the Grand Commander's invasion of Grenada that prevented the leaders there from turning too much towards the Soviet Union."
Little John asked himself questions, then looked at another handsome blond guy.
"In my opinion, the most important thing is not that the Australians defeated us and won the America's Cup, which we have won for the 132nd consecutive year?"
The handsome blond guy replied, holding the hand of a beautiful woman next to him and laughing so hard, as if the joke was very funny.
Gu Yan
Ronald recognized the two of them as John Jr.'s cousin David Kennedy, and next to him was the Australian beauty he met on the plane, Rachel Ward.
Rachel Ward was very distressed. In order to escape the quarrel with her boyfriend, she came to New York to meet David, her ex, just to escape her troubles. Unexpectedly, David Kennedy became more and more unruly after not seeing each other for several years, and her old troubles disappeared.
It did not fade away, but gave birth to new ones.
"What do you think, Rachel?" Little John looked at the beautiful woman next to his cousin.
Rachel was not interested in this kind of empty talk about a young man giving advice. She looked up and saw Ronald standing there, and Brooke Shields next to him. It was strange, could this boy really be the director? He came with Brooke Shields.
of.
"I don't have any answers. I am an Australian and I hope for world peace. Why not ask Ronald, who is a film director in Hollywood."
Ronald didn't expect to be dragged into the empty talk by Rachel.
"Ronald, Brooke, come on, let me introduce you." Terry stood up from the sofa and introduced everyone.
Only then did Rachel Ward believe that Ronald was indeed a Hollywood director, and that he knew the socialite Brooke Shields and must have a certain reputation.
Little Kennedy smiled at Ronald and made a gesture of invitation, asking Ronald to express his opinion.
"I think it's because the Grand Commander-in-Chief has implemented new economic policies. Inflation has finally come down this year, and we can all have a chance to breathe a sigh of relief."
"Hahaha, that voodoo economics?" David Kennedy laughed wildly, and Little John also shook his head. This person doesn't understand political economics at all. Many film artists are like this. When it comes to economics and international politics
Just an idiot.
They ignored Ronald and continued talking.
Ronald felt a little bored and listened to the high-pitched talk for a while. It seemed that the two brothers talked about whether the radical policies of the Grand Commander would cause the Soviet Union to retaliate, launch a war, or even lead to a nuclear war.
He was a little tired of the idea of talking about the lives of hundreds of millions of people, so he got up and walked out quietly. Brooke saw him and followed him out.
"Why, aren't you used to this kind of salon-style chat?" Brooke asked.
"I just feel like I can't quite understand what they're discussing. It's too far away from me." Ronald made a condescending gesture with his hand.
"I know, you have your own ideas and laugh at them for being childish." As a socialite, Brooke is very good at observing people's words and emotions.
"You can also say that I make movies, and I am closer to the joys and sorrows of the people at the bottom." Ronald did not deny it.
"Then let me stay with you for a while." Brooke stood next to Ronald. The two were speechless. For a while, they felt that it was good to look at each other like this, and the two got closer and closer.
Ronald's lips gradually came closer to Brooke, and Ronald heard the sound of her breathing. The hot breath, carrying the smell of perfume, passed into Ronald's nose.
The two stayed in a state of kissing for a while, but Brooke couldn't resist the temptation and kissed her.
"Porky..." Ronald and Porky were startled and quickly separated.
"Poor Ji, are you here?" The brief sweetness between the two was interrupted by a soft voice. A young black man led a group of people up to the second floor.
"Oh, Ronald, I didn't expect to see you here."
The two turned around and saw the singer Michael Jackson, who was dressed in diamonds.
He was followed by many assistants and bodyguards.
"Porky", Jackson hugged Brooke very happily, and then kissed each other on the face. The two of them had also met at the Oscars awards party.
The three of them knew each other and soon started chatting temporarily on the balcony.
"Your single Billy King is a big hit right now."
Ronald thought of MJ's performance at the Motown Memorial Concert. Since the TV station taped this live performance a few months later, Jackson's albums began to sell very well. Whenever the radio and TV stations were turned on, there was always someone there.
Play his songs.
"Yeah, my first chapter record in Colombia sold very well. By the way, Crazy Legs, which I introduced last time, is now filming a movie. I need a break dance choreographer now. Do you have any other talents to recommend?
?"
"I only know them." Ronald shook his head. He only met them by chance while filming "Flashdance".
"By the way, I also know a dancer in Los Angeles, but...he is disabled and can only do hand movements and floor dance." Ronald thought of the "handyman" who danced with a cane on the streets of Los Angeles.
”.
"His name is Eddie Rodriguez and you can find him in Venice Beach."
"Then he must be very exciting, but the dancer I'm looking for is to improve the moonwalk..."
"Oh," Ronald said in understanding, "Why, do you still want to improve? I think all the girls in America are crazy about this dance step now."
"I think he lacks a little intensity."
"By the way, I'm about to shoot a Pepsi commercial. I know you are also the director of commercials and music videos. Do you have any advice for me?" MJ rarely had the chance to get along with movie directors, so he asked.
"Advertisement? Then you need to pay attention to rest. Shooting an advertisement can be quite intense and needs to be completed in a day or two."
"You know, many musicians are making movies nowadays. Do I have the chance to make a movie adapted from my own songs?" MJ continued to ask.
"Movies adapted from songs? We have made quite a few of them. Columbia Pictures, the same old employer of your Columbia Records, can find someone to make such customized movies. Which single do you want to make?"
"It's the legend of billy jean."
Ronald and Michael Jackson kept chatting, and Brooke reminded him, "Let's go in."
The three of them walked into the room, and MJ's arrival immediately caused the girls to scream. They came up to surround him and ask for his autograph.
Ronald looked at these girls who were usually celebrities, and when he saw MJ, they all turned into ordinary fangirls. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. After not seeing each other for a few months, MJ's influence seemed to have broken through the ceiling of black celebrities.
However, in the eyes of the two Kennedys, MJ was still the black musician who accompanied himself and women as they danced in places like the Cotton Club.
Michael Jackson was so out of tune with them that they couldn't talk to each other. After signing autographs and taking photos with a few fan girls, he chatted with them inside about who was the most powerful comic book hero.
Ronald looked at his watch and saw that it was already very late, so he wanted to say goodbye to everyone. Brooke said that she was going to find her mother Terry. Brooke lingered with the Kennedy brothers inside for a long time, and Ronald couldn't be left alone.
I'm a little impatient.
After a long time, Brooke finally came out with her mother Terry, and Michael Jackson also accompanied them. He could clearly see the attitude of the white elites towards him, and knew that Ronald and Brooke were not invisible to him.
discrimination.
Terry was a little drunk again, and one of MJ's bodyguards supported her. In front of Ronald, Brooke felt a little embarrassed, "I have to deal with them, and then Terry is drunk and can't walk, so I invite MJ
The bodyguards help..."
"It's okay, I'll call a taxi," Ronald said.
At the door, Ronald saw that there was no taxi at the door, so he walked out, put his fingers in his mouth, and whistled loudly.
But the yellow taxis passed by one after another without any intention of stopping.
Ronald took out another twenty dollars and waved it in his hand. Now that it was officially a good time for business in the evening, Ronald didn't stop him at once.
"Why don't you take my car to take you back first?" Michael Jackson said with a smile, "It's very late and I'm worried about your mother. Ronald can take a taxi by himself."
Brooke looked at the situation and had no choice but to help her mother into the limousine driven by MJ's driver.
She walked over and said goodbye to Ronald, "My mother is a bit... I'll take MJ's car and leave first. I'll give you a call when I get to the hotel. I'm going back to New Jersey right away to take new magazine photos. Next time we're in London..."
Brooke moved closer to Ronald.
Ronald regretted not driving his own car, but Terry stumbled and almost fell to the ground when he got into the car. He knew that the most important thing now was to take her back.
"Okay, you know my phone number."
The two kissed again and quickly separated.
Ronald stood on the side of the road and watched Brooke wave to him in the luxury car. He also raised his hand and waved, and then continued to call for a taxi. "I must find a driver in the future."
Terry was sleeping well in the back seat of the luxury car.
Michael Jackson sat in the middle, next to Brooke Shields. He watched Brooke wave and the car drove a distance, and he suddenly said, "Sometimes I think, only people like you who became famous at a young age understand me. We have many
Common ground.”
Brooke smiled and agreed, MJ was indeed like her, having to face the criticism of adults at a young age. She still looked out the window in the direction of Ronald.
"I'm thinking that if you and I get married and have two children, we can hire a lot of nannies to take care of them and take care of the children at home together when we are not busy."
"Huh?!" Brooke turned to look at MJ. This black boy with big glasses didn't seem to know how to get along with girls, and he suddenly started discussing his married life with himself.
Brooke chose her words carefully, "You have me for the rest of your life, you don't need to marry me, mj. I want to move on...have my own marriage and my own children...that's mine
private life, and you will always have my friendship."
"Hehehehe..." Michael Jackson also relaxed. He really would not discuss such things with girls. He has been the lead singer of the family band Jackson 5 since he was a child. He quickly became popular after going solo. Now the girls who are close to him are all with different backgrounds.
kind of purpose.
Brooke's words made him feel very relaxed. He would not feel a lot of pressure when getting along with such a beautiful woman who was also famous in America.
"Which one do you think is more powerful, Supergirl or Wonder Woman?"
"I think Wonder Woman is more powerful...Superwoman seems to be a weakened version of Superman."
