Ronald's equipment boxes struggled for a long time on the luggage carousel at the airport because they were extremely tall and overweight. The last few were sent out.
"Get up!" Ronald yelled, lifted up the box containing a full set of baby lightning lights, placed it firmly on the ground at the Los Angeles Airport, and then pushed it forward. Under the box, there was a film studio prop worker specially installed for him.
On small wheels, the box moved forward briskly.
The agent, Richard, and his driver, Little Bud, saw Ronald and quickly came up to help him get his suitcase, and the three of them walked towards the exit.
"What happened in Hollywood while I was away?" Ronald put on his sunglasses and asked Richard.
"Director Zach, who has an evil husband in his family, is still polishing the script. Their habit is that they will not start filming until the script is finally mature enough to be projected in their minds."
"Mr. Weintraub has already prepared the schedule. If you think it's ready to start, you can start casting and filming preparations for the sequel to Dragon King."
"Michael Jackson and Director Coppola are calling you. Please call them back when you have time."
Richard picked up important things and went over them with Ronald.
"Is the heat of my scandals almost over?" Ronald suddenly stopped and looked in front of him. It seemed that the exit was crowded, and it seemed that a large number of reporters were waiting for him.
"We continue to receive interview invitations from the media every day, but today they are not here to chase you." Richard made a reassuring gesture.
"Oh? Which other celebrities are coming to Los Angeles today?"
"I'm coming"
Several white lights suddenly lit up at the exit, illuminating the background of the exit and the ground very brightly.
A large number of TV reporters, holding microphones in their hands, rushed to the exit next door. Followed by another group of newspaper reporters, they held portable recorders in their hands, or took out notebooks and ballpoint pens, and also spoke to the reporter from behind.
Run towards the other exit.
The crowd that was originally densely packed suddenly became empty, leaving only two drivers who came to pick up the guests, holding up the guests' names in their hands and remaining where they were.
"Hello, I am a reporter from the cable TV network. I would like to ask if Mr. Rock Hudson's trip to China has improved his physical condition? Can he speak to the media today?"
Ronald and his group, who were pushing the equipment out, were also attracted. They turned to look at the exit next door. A reporter from the cable TV network asked questions. The cameras and lights behind were all turned on. It looked like there was a big battle.
"It is not convenient for Mr. Hudson to be interviewed. Please give a patient some privacy."
Ronald took two quick steps to prevent reporters from recognizing him, and quickly got into Little Bud's car. Richard accompanied him in, and Little Bud put the equipment into the back seat behind him.
"Boom, boom, boom...", a helicopter suddenly appeared in the sky above the exit of the airport, and a white light shot out from the spotlight on the nose of the aircraft, illuminating the ground.
Following the light, Ronald opened the car window and stretched his head out. An emergency stretcher was pushed out from the emergency exit and onto an ambulance that had already parked.
"Is that Rock Hudson? What happened to him?" Ronald asked Richard.
Rock Hudson was a leading actor in the TV series "The Big Bad," which set ratings records a few years ago. He also starred in a movie with Elizabeth Taylor before, and was nominated for an Oscar.
"He went to the Kingdom of Lao to see his strange disease. I heard that he received an experimental therapy there, but today's situation..." Richard shook his head and told Little Bud to drive.
"I brought a good thing from there. Please help me find any engineers who are engaged in movie lighting and lighting power supply. I want to improve it and start a small business." Ronald returned home and told the manager
Chad helped him recruit some people.
"Okay," Richard wrote down one by one, "Last time you asked me to find a talent to read scripts for you. I found one. His name is David Simkins. He has been working for the TV station since 1982.
As a script reader, he recently wanted to get married and change his job to a higher-paying job.
By the way, he was recommended by Mr. Roger Corman. I asked him to read a few scripts and write synopses, and his skills are pretty good. You can meet for an interview when you have time."
"How did you get in touch with Coleman?"
"David originally applied for a job as a screenwriting assistant with Coleman, but the salary Coleman offered was too low. He loved the talent so much that he called me to see if you could find him a job."
"I'll call Coleman tomorrow. Why are Coppola and MJ looking for me?"
"It's a long story. Eisner planned to use MJ's popularity to add an attraction to Disneyland and let MJ star in a ten-minute short film. He hired Coppola as the director, but Coppola was
I am busy with his new film, and Disneyland also has some special requirements. I would like to invite you to come over and have a chat. Can we jointly develop this project with the director?"
"Short film? Ten minutes? Why would Coppola be interested in such a project?"
"Of course Disney generously provided a super high budget. The production cost is more than 20 million, and more can be added."
"What kind of short film is this?" Ronald was stunned. With this production cost, he could make a regular two-hour feature film.
"You can ask him then. I heard it is the latest technology."
"This station reports that the famous Hollywood actor Rock Hudson's medical journey ended today. He underwent experimental treatment at the Pasteur Institute in China for two weeks. His spokesperson told reporters today,
Hudson missed his family, relatives and friends in Los Angeles and decided to return to America..."
The cable TV network's report interrupted the discussion between Ronald and Richard, and the two looked at each other.
"Two independent research groups, the Institut Pasteur in China and the University of Maryland in America, both claim to be the first to isolate the virus that causes this strange disease. However, there is still a dispute between the two parties about who made the breakthrough discovery first.
dispute.
According to estimates by Dr. Fu, director of the National Institute of Allergy and..., special adviser to the United States, at least 12,000 people in America, especially California, are expected to have this disease...
At present, we know very little about the relevant research on this kind of..., and the cable TV network will continue to follow up the reports for you."
"Twelve thousand people? They can't all be from Hollywood, right?" Ronald looked at the footage of Hudson being carried into the ambulance on the screen, and was a little scared. Could this be some kind of spreading disease?"
"I heard that most of the people who are recruited are men with special orientations. Many people are going to the University of Maryland to take a blood test. I heard that it can also be done through blood. Many celebrities are killing mosquitoes at home."
"Buzz buzz..." A mosquito broke through the apartment's tight security and layers of fortified screen doors and windows, and just broke into Ronald's living room.
"shxt!" Ronald jumped up, picked up the magazine on the table, and started to swat the mosquitoes.
"Pop", the mosquito was swatted to death on the cover of the magazine. Ronald grabbed the magazine with two fingers and quickly threw it into the trash can.
"Little Bud, little Bud, go buy some mosquito repellent..."
…
David Simkins came to Ronald's house anxiously. He had just proposed to his girlfriend and needed to change to a higher-paying job so that he could have enough money to support his family while writing his own scripts.
He worked hard at the TV station, and with letters of recommendation from his superiors, he still found many employers willing to hire him. However, when he learned that Ronald Lee was here to recruit script evaluation assistants, he still prioritized coming here to try his luck.
, with such a great director as your boss, if you like the script you wrote and pay for it, you won't have to worry about the house loan.
"Ding dong", he rang the doorbell.
"Quickly, come in quickly, don't stand at the door, in case there are mosquitoes."
A tall young man, with a bandana covering his mouth like a cowboy, opened the door and pulled him in.
"Tsk..." A black man picked up mosquito repellent and sprayed it at the door a few times.
"Are you David? I called Roger and talked about you. He said that you are very serious and responsible, and you can also write scripts. I don't ask you to read the script quickly, as long as you start from the perspective of the script itself.
, you think you are interested, then write a summary, and then attach your revision opinions."
"Okay, Mr. Li." David saw that the young man took off a large handkerchief that was tied to his face to cover his mouth and nose. It turned out to be his potential employer, Ronald Lee."
"There is a script here. You can take it to the study over there and read it, and then write out the outline and revision suggestions on the spot. If I am satisfied, the job will be yours."
Ronald pointed to the study room and asked David to come over and complete the written test.
"No problem." David took the pen and paper and went to the study room with the script in his arms. He also smelled that Ronald seemed to have used a plant-based fragrance here, with a light herbal smell.
He stared at the TV again. The commander-in-chief was speaking to reporters.
"I have entrusted Director Fu of the Allergy... Institute, my... consultant, to be solely responsible for this matter..."
The commander-in-chief has never expressed an opinion on this matter, but last night the tragedy of Rock Hudson spread throughout the country through the cable TV network. The commander-in-chief was forced to admit that there was such a thing in America...
….There are an estimated 12,000 people in the country.
"Finally, what I want to say is that whether our behavior conforms to moral requirements determines the future of our nation and country. Although the latest research, there is no evidence that this... is the same as the unhealthy life we have had in the past two decades.
It is related to the method, but there is no 100% evidence that this... has nothing to do with the immoral behavior of some men.
I hope Rock Hudson gets better and God bless him and God bless America."
"It seems that people with special orientations may not necessarily get it?" Richard said to Ronald and Little Bud in the room after reading the news.
"I think that's what the commander-in-chief means. It must be like this. Didn't you see what happened in San Francisco at the beginning? And he is the commander-in-chief. If he didn't have any news, he would definitely not say that."
"Well, what you said makes sense. Maybe we don't need to be too nervous if we like girls." Ronald believed Little Bud's statement more, and it was more in line with common sense.
"But you still have to wear long sleeves. The mosquito repellent incense sent from Chinatown is very effective. Call Lawrence and ask them to send a few hundred more packages. Send some to your good friends. Richard, ask caa
Mr. Ovitz, do you want it? There are many in Chinatown.
Mosquito repellent products are in hot demand now. Then I will send a large package to Helen, Diane, my aunt, and Donna, and I will send this summer’s quantity first.”
