After the awards ceremony, many people moved to the official after-ceremony party, a party officially organized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Of course, Ronald came home empty-handed without a trophy. He didn't have a statuette to go to the official party to engrave on the base. In fact, he didn't need to go. But Kelly McGillis wanted to go there to communicate with some directors, and his agent Niceta also wanted to go there.
I hope Ronald can participate in more activities to expand his network.
Ronald also joined them and accompanied McGillis to the post-ceremony party.
Not far from the entrance to the official party is the place where the trophies were engraved. Dozens of Oscar winners were waiting in line.
Of course, the most popular and respected among them is Oliver Stone, who made two anti-war films, "El Salvador" and "Platoon".
This screenwriter-turned-director finally became the biggest winner in Hollywood last year with his low-cost "Platoon".
Everyone gathered around him, feeling proud to have a few words with the soft-spoken director.
After all, the Vietnam War was a war that was not beneficial to the people of America, and there was no moral burden to oppose it. At that time, left-wing Hollywood actors, such as Jane Fonda, even went to North Vietnam to meet their soldiers. But as time went by, Hollywood has also
The Vietnam War was gradually forgotten.
Suddenly, an anti-war film with strong authenticity and artistry, written and directed by people who were personally involved in the Vietnam War and injured in the battle, fell from the sky, and everyone's passion was rekindled.
, you and I chatted animatedly.
The ones closest to the center of the crowd are Jane Fonda, his wife, and Elizabeth Taylor. They are both left-wing in the traditional sense, caring about the bottom class, and opposed to social injustice and discrimination.
Ronald's arrival caused the little people around him to automatically open a path for him and McGillis to come in and talk.
"Ha, Ronald, your opinion is of great help to me." Oliver Stone is a tall man. It is said that when he directed "Platoon", he was an Army sergeant and relied on his experience in serving in Vietnam.
With real experience, he trained the actors to be obedient. Even how to hold a gun and how to move forward were taught by him personally.
However, in great contrast, Oliver Stone's voice was very gentle and soft-spoken, like a woman.
"You are so polite. You thanked me on stage. I didn't make any contribution." Ronald quickly thanked the new best director. Generally, a director's list of thanks rarely goes beyond the crew and family members.
However, Oliver Stone was more unique. In addition to Ronald, he also thanked several people who contributed to the film but did not sign their names on the subtitles.
"No way, if it weren't for your recommendation, I wouldn't have been nominated for an Oscar." Willem Dafoe next to him was giving support to Ronald.
"Ronnie, I thought you only made recruitment commercials for the Navy."
The speaker was Elizabeth Taylor. She had changed a lot from the last time Ronald saw her. Not only had she gained weight, but she was also a little darker, as if she had been exposed to too much sun.
This beautiful lady actually doesn't pay much attention to her own care and has a carefree personality. The big diamond ring on her hand also seems to have a lot of scratches. She is a really good-natured person.
She lit a cigarette and yelled at Ronald.
"I just made a fun aerial combat film. I didn't think about whether it was anti-war. War and war are different."
Taylor also wanted to talk about his own values and persuade Ronald. Over there, Jane Fonda came to his rescue, "Ronald's first screenplay when he debuted was an anti-war movie about the Vietnam War. It's a pity that there is no such thing."
People invest in filming.”
"Now, isn't it just right for you? After Oliver, many studios have increased their investment in this subject."
"Oh, then I have to think about how to add a character in the script and ask you to play it." Ronald said to Elizabeth Taylor with a smile.
"Ah, hahaha... you have such a sweet mouth." Elizabeth Taylor was amused and patted Ronald's arm hard.
"Honestly, Ronald, what do you think of my movie? I feel like I was completely drained after filming. This is a movie I have been wanting to make for more than ten years. I want to hear your truth.
Opinion." Oliver Stone particularly wanted to know Ronald's opinion.
"I particularly like the structure of the script. The scene in front of the helicopter between the two sergeants representing the good and evil sides at the end was really good." Ronald praised sincerely.
With a production cost of 6 million US dollars, the scenes and dramatic conflicts were not downgraded, and the emotions of the soldiers on the Vietnam War battlefield from childish to mature to numb were well conveyed to the audience. If it weren't for Oliver Stone's big movie
With his talent and his own experience, I am afraid that no one can capture this kind of feeling with such a small amount of money.
Moreover, it has won several Oscar awards, which has also given a big boost to the box office. It is really a rare and good film that is both well-received and well-received.
Stone was very happy. This was a comment from someone who really knew what he was doing. With his own resources, he was able to cobble together these actors and finally be able to achieve the effect he wanted, allowing American civilians to truly experience what it was like on the Vietnam War battlefield.
.It’s all supported by the structure of the script.
Communication between directors is actually relatively rare. The two chatted for a while. McGillis couldn't help but join in and share some of his views on Stone's movies.
Oliver Stone took a high look at this beautiful woman who could talk about her acting skills, and the two started chatting. Ronald said goodbye to Jane Fonda, who had not won the award and was about to leave. The talking circle of this Oscar party was originally
It is divided according to the individual's industry status.
"Why don't you come and talk, Minahan?"
Speaking of industry status, Ronald looked around and spotted the figure of the fat Israeli. He seemed to have just sent the statuette to the engraving place, but he stayed aside without anyone communicating with him.
"Ronald, it's so nice to meet you. Did you see my Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film? My dream finally came true. Hahaha.
That New Year's Eve in New York, Yoram and I were very painful because of the box office failure. The two of us vowed to win the Oscar. Now, now..."
As he spoke, Minahan began to burst into tears and looked like he was about to cry. There was no one around to talk to him. He had the statuette. It was worse than when he didn’t have the statuette a few years ago and there were still people trying to win him over.
Investment will speak to him.
I won an award today, but everyone at the party avoided him like the plague.
"Just chat with him for a few words and that's it. Now he is a public enemy of Hollywood." Niceta appeared behind Ronald and reminded in a low voice, "He gave Stallone a record-breaking salary and offended everyone."
"Oh..." Ronald was reminded like this and immediately understood the reason why no one was chatting with Minahan.
The studio disliked him for paying too much, so he paid an action star 12 million. Not only did it bring about the salary of action stars like Schwarzenegger, but other stars also began to use this reason to bargain, "Even Stallone, who has facial paralysis,
We can afford 12 million, but we are so good at acting, would you mind giving us 5 million?"
The actor disliked him for his poor taste. Is this Israeli blind? So many stars with acting skills refused to give it to Stallone, who only has muscles and can't even laugh. Is he looking down on our ability to act?
?
Ronald took Minahan aside. It was weird that this guy could turn a happy event into a tragedy. Passing a glass of champagne to him, Ronald asked the fat man Minahan, "I said, did you really give Stallone a movie?"
The film’s salary is 12 million yuan? Didn’t you tell me that it’s not that high?”
"No...no...hehehe, he and I have a package cooperation plan. The media mentioned a total price, but it's not actually the salary for a movie."
Minahan Golan also felt uncomfortable. He gave Stallone such a high salary, but his agent went around looking for the media to spread the news, making sure that Stallone became the highest-paid male star in Hollywood.
Coupled with the box office failure of "Over the Top", the prospects for cooperation between the two parties are bleak.
"What other movie will Stallone make with Cannon? The fifth Rocky movie, or the third Rambo movie?" Ronald saw Minahan being evasive, so he simply made the matter clear.
"No, no... this plan, Stallone and I are uh... cooperation in other aspects." Minahan Golan hesitated in a rare way.
Ronald still didn't know that this fat man must have paid an unprecedented high price in Hollywood in order to attract Stallone Ruhuo. The so-called package plan was just for his own benefit, lest others say that he bought Stallone at a high price and filmed it.
A bad movie.
"You... are really crazy." Ronald slapped Minahan on the shoulder. Everyone in the Hollywood Producers Alliance was probably cursing him for being a big "beep..."
"Woo..."
When Minahan was photographed by Ronald, it seemed like he was back to the time when he was in dire straits and was saved by Ronald's "Break Dance" film. It's better to be an old friend...
"I'm so disappointed with the Oscars. They are all vanity fair people who vote only for their own interests rather than to select the best art." Minahan began to scold the Oscar organizing committee.
"The jury system of Cannes is better. It is the film festival that can truly select artistic masterpieces. Ronald, if you go to Cannes with me this year, you will know that it is the holy land of film art."
"Hey, hey..." Ronald coughed a few times. After Minahan was left out, he was a little mentally unbalanced. Why did he start spraying Oscar at the official Oscar party? He had to stay away from him.
"Ronald", Niceta appeared next to him at the right time, "Smart Lazar's party is about to begin. You have the sponsorship of the brand's formal wear, so you must show up there."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Ronald just used this excuse to get rid of Minahan.
"Swifty Lazar" is a nickname. His original name is Irving Paul Lazar. He is a veteran agent born in 1907.
He once held Cary Grant's agency contract with former Commander-in-Chief Richard. Moreover, Lazar has a transcendent status in the industry. In many cases, he is not the agent of stars, but he can also introduce business to stars, and he is the agent of stars.
I won't be angry, and I will give him a share.
However, in the past two years, the old man finally couldn't work anymore. He was diagnosed with kidney disease and required dialysis every week. He gradually gave up his economic business and began to be keen on throwing various parties for celebrities with his wife.
After the Oscars, in addition to official parties, there are also these private parties. Among them, the party of the clever Lazar is the most popular.
One reason is that Lazar understands the thoughts of stars very well. In addition to inviting stars who have won Oscars to attend, he also invited many wealthy people who have never had contact with stars, as well as some of the top fashion designers in the industry.
division.
Celebrities and fashion designers already need each other, and rich people can talk to them, ask for autographs, and have the talking capital to discuss cooperation with celebrities. It is a good place for everyone to get what they need.
Niceta told Ronald in detail about the party in the car. McGillis wanted to communicate with Oliver Stone, so Ronald came alone in the car with Hollywood celebrity chef Wolfgang
·Parker opened the Spago restaurant and attended Lazar's party.
The exterior wall of the Spago restaurant is white, and the building inside is made of red bricks. Under the spotlight, it looks very elegant. With the black dining table and white tablecloth, it looks very clean and high-end.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The food at Spago is relatively average, focusing on California style. Ronald knows that this kind of fashionable celebrity restaurant, the poses for photos are good, and the food is better than the food.
Much more important.
When he came in and looked around, he saw the old friend he was scheduled to meet.
"George!" Ronald stepped forward to hug the famous Italian designer and salute him.
"Ronaldo, you are still so outstanding. Do you really not want to consider being my model and go on a catwalk?"
Giorgio Armani has sponsored Ronald's clothes for the Academy Awards for several years. This time I came to America and I was very happy to see Ronald, whom I met on the set of "Streets of Rage".
I haven’t seen him for a few years. The young director back then has now become famous all over the world. There are also many young people in Italy who pretend to be fighter pilots when they have nothing to do, wearing large toad sunglasses and very short haircuts.
"Hahaha, I can't do that." Ronald was deeply impressed by Armani. When Diane was filming "Streets of Rage", the two red costumes she wore were really memorable to this day.
"Where is your little friend Diane? Why haven't you seen her?"
"She went to shoot a new movie. It's a big production and she doesn't have time to come to the Oscars." Ronald replied.
"You should come together to walk for me," Armani said, looking at Ronald wearing a suit handmade in his studio in Los Angeles. He has a very American-style body shape, which is another style compared to Italian men.
On Giorgio Armani's side, there is a circle of designers and models from the fashion industry chatting together. There are also many ordinary wealthy women, and you can also chat with them.
This is probably the only opportunity at the end of the year for these ordinary wealthy people to chat with big-name designers like Armani. They were all very happy. Seeing Ronald and Armani chatting happily, they thought Ronald
De is a male model, and he comes up to flirt with her.
Giorgio Armani pulled them apart and took Ronald to meet his friends. Various big-name clothing brands, such as Kevin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren and other local brands
Ronald could chat with designers of new fashion brands.
"He is really wasting his talent. He should try to be a model. If he were my model for YSL, I would design better men's clothing." Eve Saint Laurent, a famous designer of Algerian origin, also said that Ronald is better
Has modeling talent.
This designer is also very connected to the film industry. His muse includes Chinese star Catherine Deneuve, and he draws a lot of design inspiration from traditional Chinese costumes.
The most famous large shoulder pads in fashion in the 1980s were first used by him in men's clothing and became popular all over the world.
"Let me just say, he is different from those male models from China and Italy. He has more of an American male majesty." Armani looked Ronald up and down.
"No, no, he is more like a Chinese. His elegant feeling is exactly the same as the Chinese artist I saw in Paris, Mist Zhao. At next year's Oscars, you give him to me and let him wear YSL brand men's clothing.
Bar?"
"Go ahead and dream."
Ronald couldn't understand the French or Italian they were talking to each other. He was looking around for an acquaintance when he heard someone calling him next to him.
"龇...龇...Ronald."
Ronald turned around and looked, and it turned out to be the model he had a one-night stand with, Cindy Crawford, who had a very distinctive mole on the corner of her mouth.
"Cindy, why are you...eh...you're not...Christy?"
Ronald took two steps forward and found that there was another beautiful woman holding hands with Cindy. She was the actress Chris who shot the neighbor beauty in the Pepsi Diet Coke commercial for Michael J. Fox and later knocked on the door.
Dee Durrington.
"Kristy is a good friend of mine. We tried our best to get the qualifications to come in. Can you help us introduce the designer?"
Cindy Crawford, who was looking for opportunities to socialize everywhere, saw Ronald's figure, so she pulled her best friend Kristy Turlington over to look for opportunities together.
After getting closer, I saw that the people talking to Ronald were Giorgio Armani and Eve Saint Laurent. The two models simply felt like they had won the lottery.
"Let me introduce to you, George, Eve, these two are Cindy, and Kristy. They used to guest star in my commercials and the two American models in the movie. They are all natural beauties."
Ronald understands that these models may feel the same way when they meet top designers as they do when fledgling actors meet the Oscar-winning director.
Following the party rules, I introduced the designers to two old and new friends.
"Beautiful lady", Saint Laurent raised Christie Turlington's hand and kissed it.
The two models actually look a bit different from typical graphic models. Cindy Crawford has a mole on the corner of her mouth, while Kristy Turlington has slightly buck teeth.
However, it is this imperfection that makes these two beauties even more charming and close to ordinary people.
The designers are all geniuses. They saw that the two models have extraordinary temperament. They are not the kind of "typical models" who meet the standards in every aspect, and they also have a love for talents. The two models successfully got the business cards of top designers. They were very happy.
.
"Where do you live? I'll come tonight to thank you."
Cindy found an opportunity and whispered into Ronald's ear. It was still the style of a girl from the Midwest of Illinois, and her words of repayment were fast.
"I'm at XXX at the Beverly Hilton." Ronald quickly handed over a room card.
"I'll give you a surprise then." Cindy Crawford gave Ronald a quick kiss, then left, holding Christie Turlington's hand, and went to socialize with other people.
"What's the surprise?" Ronald touched his lips.
…
"Ronald, Ronald." It's almost midnight. Ronald, who has returned to the Hilton Hotel suite, is sitting in the living room watching TV. In the room with no lights, only the TV screen emits a dim light. It's midnight.
The news is still replaying the Oscar awards.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The door clicked open, and a woman's voice came from the darkness.
"Cindy", Ronald stepped forward and hugged her tightly. The enthusiasm of the Illinois girl is still fresh in people's memory.
"Hmm..." The passionate lips were sealed together. Ronald felt that Crawford's long skirt was very close-fitting, and the material felt very good, and it fit well on the bumpy body...
Ronald's hands gradually moved up his legs and continued up.
Cindy Crawford in her arms seemed to be about to say something, and she pushed desperately into Ronald's arms, causing Ronald to become enthusiastic and seal her lips with force.
"Well...well..." Cindy Crawford gradually softened under Ronald's attack and stopped struggling.
Crawford was different from other models. Her weight of over 110 pounds made her closer to the figure of an ordinary person. Ronald couldn't help but indulge in it, and his palm finally reached it.
"Huh?" A cold hand held Ronald's hand from outside Crawford's waist.
Ronald was startled, pushed Crawford away quickly, and fumbled to turn on the light in the room. "You..."
Ronald saw that the person hiding behind Crawford was clearly Kristy Turlington.
"You are... sorry..." Ronald felt ashamed of his impatience.
"No...I'm the surprise Cindy said." Christy Turlington's cheeks were red, she came up and hugged Ronald, kissed him deeply, and then gently teased him in his ear,
"The last time I was filming a commercial, I was ready to devote myself to you."
"This..." Ronald was stunned.
"Don't be afraid, we live together and have no reservations about each other. We share any clothes we have." Cindy Crawford walked behind Ronald and said in his other ear.
Ronald felt a dampness invade his ears and other parts of his body.
"Oh, this is really surprising...ah..." Ronald, who had never felt this way before, couldn't help shouting.
