"How is your relationship with Ronald? Isn't he about to propose to you?" Helen Slater's mother Alice came over to inquire about the news.
"Why do you have such an idea?" Helen Slater felt very suddenly, "We just feel good together, so... we have no idea of getting married."
"You have an unstable relationship, and he invested so much money in your movie?" Alice was a little confused.
"No, he treats talented people well. If you look at the directors of several movies he has invested in, they have nothing to do with him before. He is just such a person. When he sees a good movie, he just likes to encourage it to be made.
Besides, even if he proposes, I won't agree." Helen Slater clarified to her mother that just because Ronald invested in the movie did not mean that he would propose.
"Why?"
"It's hard for me to live with him every day. We would quarrel every day when we see each other. We see each other every once in a while until we can tolerate each other."
"Oh...my poor daughter..." Alice realized that Helen Slater might have been too deeply influenced by her own free thoughts.
…
"He will not transfer for Helen Slater. I asked someone to check, and he did donate money to build a small church on Staten Island. It was not very expensive." Michael Ovitz, visited in New York
Kirk Douglas, who is on vacation to recuperate, is the most authoritative old man in the Hollywood Jewish circle.
"Do we still have girls like Helen? Men who meet Ronald's aesthetics will long for the warmth of family when they reach an age. As long as they meet his aesthetics, have a gentle personality, and have a firm identification with Jewish tradition.
We can all find a way to introduce him to Ronald."
"He has worked with many Jewish girls, such as Jennifer Gray and Jennifer Jason Leigh, but his taste in women is..." Ovitz has also learned about Ronald's love history, they are all models and
The top beauties in the film industry have shown no special interest in Jews.
"Hey, it's a pity that the biggest problem of our ethnic group is that there are not many beautiful girls. Helen is already the top Jewish person in Hollywood."
"I'm afraid he won't look down on ordinary girls. Jennifer Gray is already the most popular actress in our ethnic group. It's a pity that Deborah Winger is already married and has children..."
"Damn Tim (Timothy Hutton), not only ruined his career, but also dragged down Deborah. Try to create opportunities for Ronald, and all the beautiful girls in the industry try to arrange meetings with him...
…”
"Today's beautiful actors all have boyfriends. They are also our very important assets..."
"I don't care about this. I heard Michael say that Ronald Ovitz is a rare genius. This kind of person knows how to be successful in this industry. Those male actors now all have self-destructive tendencies. All of them
Beauty resources will all lean toward Ronald, just like we lean toward Steven (Spielberg).
By the way, Steven, how are you looking for her? Steven likes beauties who look like foxes."
"I've got a few suitable people auditioning for his new Dr. Indiana Jones movie."
"Be more careful this time and identify with the traditions of Judaism." Old Kirk Douglas combed his meticulous hair with his hands, and then nodded to Ovitz. This is because Jews have been trying to monopolize the entertainment industry for decades.
Effective means.
Give more opportunities when you enter the industry, seize key positions in large companies, win over young artistic talents, and then create a virtuous circle, allowing young people from the same ethnic group to have great success from the beginning when they enter this industry.
Advantage.
"This old bastard..." Ovitz left Kirk Douglas's sanatorium. This former representative of the Hollywood Jewish gang was able to withstand the pressure of the McCarthy blacklist and fish out good left-wing screenwriters.
The ruthless people who come to work for him are definitely not comparable to fake gangsters like Frank Sinatra.
Nowadays, marriage is no longer recognized by the public as a contract that must be observed as it was in the past. For Hollywood stars, let alone divorce, even if they cheat within marriage, they will not be scorned by the audience as before. Everyone is used to celebrities.
He is such an emotional playboy.
Only those who respect marriage will be bound by this form. Judging from his communication with himself, Ronald is not a person who wants to get into marriage so quickly.
But love is hard to say. What if he falls in love with a Jewish girl at first sight? Becoming his own person would be of great benefit to caa's business. There's no harm in giving it a try.
For example, Spielberg's Jewish wife, Amy Irving, didn't respect Jewish traditions very much, so now that there is a gap in their relationship, everyone is trying to find him a girlfriend who respects traditions more.
…
"Ronald, what did I tell you then?"
Helen's father Gerald Slater, the president of PBS, also met Ronald again in the office.
"This is a misunderstanding..." Ronald is no longer the fledgling screenwriter he was back then.
"Misunderstanding? I thought you would be with Helen... I have already prepared all the money for the wedding." Seeing that Ronald was not overwhelmed by him, Gerald sat down angrily. He was too busy, how could he arrange the wedding?
Nader isn't as easy to scare as he used to be?
"I remember that you wanted to start a family before? You and Helen have been very close since then. I thought, can you tell me what stopped you?"
"It's true that I have seen too many marriages break up in the past two years..." Ronald replied.
In the past few years, I have seen the marriages of many Hollywood directors break up due to the busy schedule of filming. As far away as George Lucas, as recently as my good friend Cameron, the celebrity couple Madonna and Sean Penn even started a family.
Violent scandal.
In his heart, he still longs for the warmth of family, but in this vanity fair, he can't tell who can live with him for a long time. Instead of getting married and divorced and causing a lot of trouble, it's better to take it slow. Anyway, it's good to be free like this now.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Hey..." Gerald threw a cigar to Ronald, and then took out the brandy. He himself had nothing to say on this point.
He also divorced Helen's mother and started their own families.
"I can't ask for more from you. It's still what I told you at that time, don't make Helen sad."
"I won't..." Ronald raised his glass and drank some with him.
"Is PBS greatly affected by the strike?" Ronald changed the subject.
"It's very big. Our business has increased by more than 200%," Gerald said with a smile. "PBS is one of the few TV stations in Britain and Europe that has cooperative projects. We have introduced BBC documentaries and several political satires.
, 'Yes Minister', and its sequel 'Yes Prime Minister' both broke TV station records in terms of viewership share.
…
"Today's TV shows are really boring. All the TV stations are showing animal documentaries." When he returned to Staten Island to see his aunt, and took a look at the progress of the garden, Ronald heard Aunt Karen complaining about not having a TV to watch.
"Only reruns of old movies during the TV drama period, you see, even the ones from my childhood were picked out." Aunt Karen was very dissatisfied with the writers' strike, which deprived her of her favorite movies, "Growing Pains" and "Family Ties".
Family dramas are her favorite, but there are no new movies to watch now.
The remote control was adjusted to abc, and a very old TV series appeared on the TV. Ronald thought the first few edits were pretty good. He selected the photos of the team members one by one with his hands, and put them on the screen after selecting them.
On the table.
That hand put away the selected photos of the members and began to explain the mission details. This is a 007-style spy TV series.
Then a match was struck, and a white line on the screen was burned short by the match, accompanied by nice music.
TV dramas in the 1960s and 1970s all had theme songs. The music was exciting from the beginning, as if some mysterious and dangerous action was about to be carried out. It was in the style of jazz, and the themes were laid out layer by layer. They were all 007-style gambling, shooting, unlocking, and masks.
The screen of other elements was quickly edited, and finally stopped at the red title.
"Mission Impossible (also called Mission Impossible)".
"The level of TV dramas at that time was not low..." Ronald watched the beginning with great interest. In fact, except for the small TV screen at that time, which caused too many close-ups, the plot and performance editing were very high quality.
"I liked watching it very much at that time. Before Steve went to Vietnam, he often watched it with me." The aunt thought of her husband who died in Vietnam.
"Oh, now I can watch it with you." Ronald hugged his aunt and watched an episode with her.
"Winter, winter, winter, winter, winter..." Ronald hummed the theme song of Die Hard. This song is very magical and will never be forgotten once you hear it.
"Someone approached me and invited me to do a low-budget movie," Emile Adolino, the assistant in Dirty Dancing, told Ronald the good news in Daydream's New York office.
"Oh, congratulations. It's not easy to have a legal script these days. I'm happy for you."
"But they haven't figured out the distribution channel for the movie yet, and they came to me to see if Daydream has the ability to distribute it." Emil Adolino was still so reserved, and he would get nervous whenever he talked about his own affairs.
"This is a good thing. The Writers Guild strike has left all distributors with no films to distribute. I think any distributor you send to will evaluate your film with several times the enthusiasm before." Ronald chuckled,
Nowadays, it's really not like before, when distributors have to beg for old scripted projects with filming permission.
"But I still want to daydream. I feel very at ease here." Emil Adolino smiled shyly. He is the quiet type and speaks softly.
"Of course, it's my honor. You invite him over, and I'll ask Michelle to take a look at the script and make an evaluation on whether we can distribute it independently or find other companies to jointly distribute it."
"Well, I'll ask him to come over." Emil Adolino's mustache seemed to be curling up in joy.
"What's the subject?" Ronald was so happy watching Emile Adolino that he had to ask him what the movie was about.
"Look, I almost forgot. It's called Life After Life, and it's a romantic love triangle. A man who just proposed to me died in a car accident, and after reincarnation, he fell in love with his fiancée's daughter. Suddenly he remembered the memories of his previous life.
...It's a bit complicated anyway, but many female viewers like this kind of plot." Adolino briefly introduced the plot.
"It's complicated enough..." Ronald touched his chin. This kind of movie actually requires a lot of acting, but if it is shot as a low-budget movie, it should be acceptable to female audiences who go to video rental stores.
Anyway, if it's under three million, it's worth trying. Adolino's directorial skills have been verified in commercials and music videos, and it's time for him to try a feature film. And scripts are very scarce now, so this is a good project.
.
The screenwriter who came with Adolino, Perry Howze, also came from Ronaldo. After chatting about the intention of the creation, Ronald felt pretty good.
This person is not a novice either. He has written several scripts and polished them carefully. The first film that became a film was MysticPizza, which Anglee modified for him. It seems that he is a professional in writing romantic dramas.
I called anglee to confirm the quality of the script.
Angie said that the overall structure of his script is very good. He has seen the finished film of modern Cinderella and it was shot very smoothly.
However, the screenwriter's debut film "Mail Order Maid" did not do well at the box office, and also shattered the stardom dream of Ally Sheedy, the female star of Brats. Therefore, it is up to Ronald to evaluate whether it is suitable.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "So it is a test of the actor's acting skills, right?" Ronald put down the phone to discuss with Michelle Cannold.
"Our small production actually has less stringent requirements for acting skills. The audience will generally forgive the performance flaws in small productions."
"I think so too. Anyway, I can practice my skills with Adorino's debut film. It really doesn't work because of the video tape market. This kind of plot is very similar to old TV series. I have watched some recently and it is actually very popular among housewives."
"Then we are sure to invest?" Michelle Cannold asked Ronald if he gave the green light.
"Look for other distributors to see if we can co-distribute, and we can save some money. New films are scarce during this period, and films like ours with legal scripts will be very popular." Ronald mentioned.
"Okay, I'll make a round of calls with the seven major and medium-sized companies in Hollywood."
"Do you just believe in Emil? Have you never cooperated with this screenwriter?" After Cannold left, general manager Eddie closed the door to discuss with Ronald. In this way, they met, chatted, and then
Is it too risky and a bit hasty to give the green light? The production department of Qida needs at least three or four rounds of evaluation before shooting, and only finally makes a decision.
"We are a small company and we don't have the conditions to make scientific evaluations. Besides, the people doing the evaluations don't really understand. When I went to the company myself, I saw a lot of unprofessional people wasting good scripts." Rona
De Xiaoxiao said that the suffering he suffered back then had no effect, so there was no need to give it to the newcomers again.
"As for Adolino, he has been with us for a long time. The response to Vice Commander's series of commercials has been very good. I have enough time to determine his shooting ability, ability to coordinate people and resources, and to complete the work under pressure.
Ability.
Adolino gave very high marks to all of them. I think the next step is to trust them and be as nice to them as possible within the allowable range, so that they can take care of us in turn and make our business good.
