"Brooke Shields and Lucas are expected to collaborate, and young director Ronald Lee may be a screenwriter."
At the New York airport, three Hollywood celebrities were cornered by the media. As is the way CAA works, the main attention was on Brooke Shields and Lucas, and Ronald was only rumored to have found an honest job.
character of.
Brooke went directly back to Princeton, and Ronald bought a plane ticket on the spot to return to Los Angeles to attend this year's Hollywood awards show.
All Hollywood people want to attend this event. In order to build publicity for his two new films, Ronald also had to squeeze in to get a ticket. This is not only Vanity Fair, but also a good place to receive interviews and build publicity for the film for free.
.
Brooke wanted to quit the entertainment industry and become a good student at Princeton, so she had no choice but to find another female companion.
Ronald dialed Diane's number in New York.
"Who is it!" Diane yelled on the phone, seemingly very angry.
"It's me, Ronald. I want you to be my escort for the Oscars."
"No time!" Dai An turned over in bed. He didn't go to bed until midnight last night, and he was so angry when he got up that he was woken up.
"What's wrong, Diane, have you forgotten the last time we attended the Oscars together?"
"Why don't you go find Brooke Shields!"
"No," Ronald said anxiously, "don't you just want to be happy now?"
"What did I say? Why don't you go find Brooke to accompany you?" Diane was very angry, so when she met Ronald, she just said it.
"Me?" Ronald was speechless for a moment.
"You want me to accompany you? Why didn't you come to me at the Golden Globe Awards before? I happened to be free at that time." Diane made Ronald speechless, chuckled, and then started acting coquettishly.
"I was working on 'Break Dancing' at that time, and now I've just finished my work. My agent helped me find two invitations to attend. How can the Golden Globes be as good as the Oscars?" Ronald quickly curried favor.
"I'm busy."
"you……"
"I really don't have time," Diane said softly, "There are still some scenes in Cotton Club that I haven't finished filming yet, and I have to work on it slowly." The filming lasted until midnight yesterday, and Diane hasn't gotten up yet.
"Can't you take a day off from Coppola?" Ronald asked.
"Hey, I think about it too, Oscar. Richard Gere wanted to take a leave of absence, but he scolded him. I think Coppola is under a lot of pressure now. You know what? Many directors of other Orion projects are saying bad things about him.
, just like Michael Cimino who defeated United Artists two years ago..."
"Why……"
Ronald hung up the phone and wondered, could he not even find a female companion?
I pulled out the phone book and looked through them one by one.
He dialed Helen Slater's number again. Anyway, what he said at the beginning was a pause, so it could be over, right?
"Helen, I am Ronald. I would like to invite you to Los Angeles to attend the Oscars and be my companion."
"Sorry, Ronnie. I've figured it out. The first movie won't be released. I'm not suitable to be a film actor. Now I'm studying in an Off-Broadway theater in New York. I will concentrate on acting in stage plays in the future. I saw you last time.
Helen Hunt is also with me." Helen's energy seemed to have recovered a lot, and she also started to laugh when she spoke.
"I also started practicing jazz piano again, and Gerald said he could help me contact the record company. Now my schedule is very full." Helen now has a fulfilling life.
"But I'm still glad that you thought of me. You can ask your agent to help you find a female companion. I am currently arranging a modern drama, and I am the understudy of the heroine. I really can't leave."
"All right……"
"Natasha Kinski?" Ronald flipped to another name, "Hey, Natasha..."
"Miss Kinski no longer lives here."
"Demi Moore?" "Beep beep...the apartment phone number is empty."
Ronald couldn't find a suitable female companion. Both of his ex-girlfriends were married and unsuitable. Others were related to work or had been out of touch for a long time.
I really brought it upon myself. The side effect of only focusing on short-term happiness is that the girls I date don’t pay much attention to my own affairs.
How good is this? Do you really want caa to help you find a female companion? This also makes you look too incompetent.
"Hello? Niceta, why don't you help me find a female companion?" It would be even worse to find a female companion if you are embarrassed. It would be even worse if you go to the Oscars alone.
"Um... now?" Niceta was also caught off guard. The award was about to be awarded. It was not easy to find a temporary female companion who was of equal rank.
"Let me see, Cher, uh, she has a boyfriend, Val Kilmer. Deborah Winger, uh, her boyfriend is the governor of Nebraska, Bob Kerrey.
…”
Niceta found her secretary and searched for a long time before finally finding a suitable female companion, "How about Shirley MacLean?"
"Don't be kidding, she's fifty, right? I learned screenwriting by watching her black and white movie 'Peach Apartment' in college."
"Hey, I'm not joking. Where can I find a suitable female companion now? If it weren't for Shirley...well, would you like it anyway? She was a great beauty when she was young."
"Are there no other options?"
"No," Niceta said angrily.
Guyi
"Hi, Ronnie, it's so nice to meet you. Let me see you, you beautiful boy." Shirley MacLean appeared with Ronald at a party two days before the Oscars under the guidance of CAA.
"You know what? My favorite movie of yours is 'Peach Blossom'. It gave me high marks in my screenwriting class."
"Oh, hahahaha..." Shirley MacLean smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, "Let me tell you a secret. When you came in just now, I showed you your face. You were a Chinese in your previous life."
"Huh?" Ronald was surprised. This Shirley MacLean is quite capable.
"Don't believe it, since I opened my heavenly eyes, I have been able to see many people's past lives. I am familiar with the country of China, where the women can hold up half the sky. When I went to the country of China, the wife of the highest...
After meeting me, she also knows about movies."
Ronald listened to her talk and finally understood why no one wanted to attend the Oscars with MacLean.
In the past two years, this star has become obsessed with aliens and reincarnation theories. She talks about looking at people's faces every day, and her remarks are both sensible and absurd. Even Hollywood regards her as a joke.
She claimed to have seen her past life and was a resident of the continent of Atlantis. She also claimed to have seen UFOs many times.
However, Ronald was frightened by the fact that the other party told her about his past life as soon as she opened her mouth, so he was a little dubious about what she said.
But when she is not nervous, Shirley MacLean is still a very pleasant lady to get along with. She is well-informed and has worked with many big directors and stars in the past. Her younger brother is a Hollywood gold star with a different surname.
Bachelor, Warren Beatty.
This time at the Oscars, her performance in "Terms of Endearment" was a big winner. Director James Brooks was nominated for Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay, and Best Director.
There are also two actors each nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor. Especially the actress, Shirley MacLean and Debra Winger who played her daughter in the movie were both nominated, which is the first time in history
Also rare.
This movie made Ronald feel that it was very realistic and the actors' performances were top-notch. In the end, it won a total of eleven nominations.
On April 9, Ronald came to Dorothy Chandler Hall again. After he got off the car, he waited for Shirley MacLean to arrive.
A flash of light flashed, and Shirley McLean was wearing a pink dress and pink high-heeled shoes. Ronald stretched out his arm for McLean to take. Today, her top was a big V-neck and she was wearing a diamond necklace.
He has an extraordinary temperament, and you can't tell that he is still full of vitality even at the age of fifty.
"You are very beautiful today," Ronald said.
"Oh, Ronald, you are so sweet," Shirley MacLean kissed him.
Walking forward in the crowded crowd, Ronald and Shirley walked across the walkway and entered the hall.
The seats for the "Mother and Daughter Love" crew were concentrated in the first three rows behind the middle aisle. Ronald saw that sitting in the first row was Debra Winger, who played the daughter.
"snort!"
The two Best Actress nominees looked at each other instantly.
Ronald thought the rumors might be true. The two female leads were hostile to each other on the set.
"Jack", MacLean saw Jack Nicholson sitting on the other side.
"Shirley", another golden bachelor, Jack Nicholson kissed MacLean fiercely, and the two played lovers in the movie. Jack played a retired astronaut, and the two were on the beach.
The flirting scene made Ronald feel that it was shot very well.
The two of them found the third row at the end of the set and sat down. Ronald noticed that the other people in the set didn't talk to MacLean very much. Maybe they were all annoyed by her talking about past lives and aliens every day.
"I think you will definitely win the Best Actress crown tonight," Ronald quietly said to MacLean after sitting down. He really felt that Shirley MacLaine's performance level was much higher than that of Debra Winger.
It is also better than Meryl Streep, who was also nominated for Best Actress, and Cher, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, in another bumper-nominated movie "Silkwood".
Shirley was never as confident as him. She had been nominated four times before, but was disappointed every time.
"Next month will be my fiftieth birthday. I don't think I will be able to realize my dream. You must know that if you don't get a best actress before fifty, the role of mother will leave you. If you get a good role again, you will be
I’ll have to wait until I’m sixty to play the role of grandma.”
MacLean is very self-aware. As a Hollywood actress, she has already played two stages: virgin and slut. Next, only mothers and grandmothers can be played.
"I'm serious, it's not a compliment." Ronald saw that she was a little disappointed, so he counted her wonderful performances in Mother and Daughter, "My favorite part is the one where you and Jack Nicholson were on the beach.
During the flirting show, he suddenly put his hand into your shirt, and your reaction was absolutely amazing."
"Ah...hahahaha..." MacLean was amused by Ronald and patted his arm.
"Jack Nicholson just likes to make strange moves. He has thought of many acting methods in advance, and uses different methods to perform each one, so as to stimulate the opponent's true reaction." Shirley knew that Ronald was a young director.
It was just the right thing to talk to him about acting.
"I don't understand, why you and Deborah?" Ronald gestured to Deborah Winger in front.
"This is all the director's problem. In fact, there is nothing wrong with us, but director Brooks always likes to create conflicts and competition between the two of us, because in the movie..."
"In the movie, the relationship between mother and daughter is like love and enemies?" Ronald understood. It turned out that Director Brooks, like Coppola, deliberately let the actors enter a relationship similar to the characters, so that their reactions would be...
It's all natural.
The side effects were so great that the two actors became enemies.
While Shirley and Ronald were chatting and laughing, they found that they were quite compatible. Shirley extended an invitation to him, "No matter whether I can win an Oscar or not, you must come to my birthday party next month. I think you are too
It’s interesting.”
"Okay, I will definitely go, but I am very confident that you will get it tonight."
"Don't raise my expectations too high. The Best Actress award is awarded very late. Don't make me wait too excitedly for three hours and then leave disappointed."
"Won't……"
As he was talking, the lights dimmed, and the live symphony band was conducted by a black man, none other than Michael Jackson's album producer Quincy Jones.
He conducted the orchestra and played the theme songs of last year's top-grossing movies starting from "Return of the Jedi".
The host was still Johnny Carson, who came to the front stage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 16th Academy Awards ceremony..."
