Before Ronald went to London, he finally had a chat with Michael J. Fox at the airport. The two had a good relationship and talked relatively casually.

"Would you be interested in that movie based on Spielberg?"

"My schedule is currently assigned to Deng Long Youshu (Light of Day). If you direct it, of course I will be very interested." Fox smoked cigarettes one after another, without any star consciousness. After smoking,

From now on, just press it on the sole of your shoe to extinguish it, and then light another one to continue.

"Um……"

Ronald understood what Fox meant. The prerequisite for his participation in the movie was to direct it himself.

In Hollywood, if a movie has the approval of three of the most important people, the studio can give it the green light.

Generally speaking, these three people are the hero, heroine, and director. If one of them is a star, then the schedule can be quickly arranged.

If two of them are stars, then they will be given more than the ordinary allocation and then move to the best time slot.

If three were stars...

Well, then they will fight and push one out first.

Fox's star status, bolstered by "Back to the Future", has now surpassed other members of the Brat Gang and has become the number one male star among teenagers. Tom Cruise's popularity only increased rapidly after the release of "Top Gun"

catch up.

In Hollywood, projects with stars participating and projects without stars are completely different things. If there are no stars, then there will be an evaluation process waiting for you for one or two years. If the stars are willing to star, then the studio executives will

Will say yes quickly in case the star changes his mind to other projects at other studios.

Now this movie is a bit stuck in a chain. As long as Ronald lets go, Fox will soon join in, and the shooting team will be formed according to this core, and the best candidates will be found quickly and efficiently. But Ronald is worried about women.

If the protagonist is not chosen well enough, it will affect the overall effect.

I didn’t dream of what the finished film would look like, and I had no way of evaluating whether it would be a hit or not.

"Well, when I come back from London, let the agent sign the contract." Ronald decided to take a risk. Not all movies can only be made in a dream, right?

Fox laughed, "If you weren't the director, I actually wouldn't want to make this kind of light comedy anymore. People always regard me as a comedy star. I want to change my image among the audience."

"That movie actually had some traces of a light comedy, but it was much more serious than your previous comedies. At least the business war content in it was very real. I confirmed it with an entrepreneur friend. In theory, it used the kind of anti-takeover

The method is feasible.”

Ronald did research on the script of "The Secret of My e$$". In addition to asking his assistant to go to Wall Street to find people to interview, he also asked Douglas Hansen, a young actor, for advice. Except

For those dramatic parts of the movie, the overall story structure is very solid.

Finally, when the financial giants wanted to acquire the company where the protagonist worked, the protagonist used the financial statements provided by the heroine to introduce financing from bankers and reversely acquired the other party's company. This was a big reversal before the ending. If the film was shot

It's reasonable and would be very interesting.

"Are you going to attend the royal premiere this time?" Foxx asked Ronald about his next arrangements after talking about business.

"Yes, it is expected that Prince Charles and the Princess will attend. I heard that the second prince will also come. He will also hold a royal wedding soon."

"Hey," Fox put out another cigarette, "I'll tell you a secret. Reporters in London's Fleet Street will grab the stars from America and ask them what they think of the royal family. All you have to do is say nice things."

"So that's it." Ronald nodded. Since the last time the crown prince and his wife visited the White House, it was revealed that the beautiful princess wore a sexy evening dress and danced with Hollywood stars. The British media has been somewhat unhappy.

They will definitely catch themselves and ask some questions to regain their position. Their public relations consultant and Paramount’s public relations manager also gave them a twenty-minute training before departure. Praise the friendship between Britain and the United States, such as

The Commander-in-Chief and Madam Prime Minister, for example, everyone speaks the same language.

When necessary, he will also show off a few words of British accent that Ronald is good at, which will greatly arouse the favor of the other media. Hollywood people will imitate British accents, always satisfying their declining cousin.

"In addition, when attending the royal premiere, be sure not to drink too much water or coffee." Fox added with a smile.

"Why?" Ronald looked surprised.

"You don't know that at the royal premiere, in order to show that they are close to the people, the creative staff will sit in a row with the royal family members. If you drink too much water, ask the crown prince and princess next to you to stand up and give up their seats for you, and let you go to the bathroom, and then

When you come back from the bathroom, do it again, the reporter will write it down after seeing it."

"Hahaha".

Ronald finished his coffee, took the receipt, said goodbye to Michael J. Fox, and went to find his crew's plane.

Fox put on his sunglasses and boarded a plane to the filming location of "The Art of the Dragon" in Illinois.

After "Back to the Future," Fox wanted to change his positioning as a light comedy and instead make a drama. So he directed a movie about a rock band, "Light of Day."

The film also cast Joan Jett, the lead singer of a popular rock band, to play Foxx's character's sister, a rock singer who is much more talented than Foxx. Because she has to support her younger brother, she is trapped in her hometown elementary school.

town.

After the Fox movie is finished, Ronald can pull together a new crew to shoot the "Secret of Success" directed by Universal President Frank Price. Just before the new season of the "Family Ties" TV series starts

, end shooting.

Ronald hurried to the boarding gate and found that Tom Cruise had arrived early. He was surrounded by a large group of fans, asking him to sign autographs and take photos.

Tom Cruise has been flying around the country recently to cooperate with the marketing work of "Top Gun". He still maintains a good smile on his face that is obviously tired and patiently meets the fans' requests.

Ronald nodded and greeted him, then quietly walked around him, got on the plane, and found his first-class seat. This was specially arranged by Paramount President Ned Tanning.

"Hey, aren't you the beautiful instructor in Top Gun? Hehe..." A man's voice came to mind from behind.

"Oh, shxt! I'm not, I'm not!"

"Stop pretending to be serious. I think you are just like Charlie..."

"ah……"

Ronald, who was taking a nap, suddenly heard a woman's scream coming from behind the cabin, and then a female star with blond curly hair quickly ran over from the economy class at the back.

After she saw where Ronald was, she sat down, hugged Ronald's arm, and buried her face deeply in his arms, as if a child had done something ashamed.

Same.

"What's wrong with you?" Ronald stroked McGillis's hair gently. This beauty had been acting very fragile recently, like a frightened deer. She didn't speak and just wanted to bury her head.

"Kelly, that Bitchi must have slept with that director and producer to get the job." A voice came from behind, officially the voice of the man who had been pestering McGillis just now.

"Hey, brother, she is doing a job, don't say that." Ronald stood up, opened the curtain that divided the cabin, walked to the back and faced the man directly.

"Hey, are you that fucking onion? Isn't that what actresses are like?"

The person who spoke was a young man, who looked like a college student going to England as an exchange student, and he was cursing.

"I ask you to be more respectful. Whether it's an actor or a director, it's all a job." Ronald saw that the passengers around him didn't like this young man very much. The quality of passengers on transoceanic routes is still relatively high.

So Ronald grabbed his hand that was pushing his breast and asked him to stop slandering the actress.

"Hey, don't be pretentious...ah! Let go."

Seeing that he was still saying weird things, Ronald used a grappling technique he had learned from competing with folk wrestling masters in China. He grabbed the opponent's wrist and twisted it, making him beg for mercy on the spot. Then Ronald nodded to the passengers around him.

I apologized and went back to my seat in front of me.

"Don't be mad at this bastard."

McGillis saw it from behind and came over to comfort Ronald. Women always have a good impression of men who are willing to vent their anger for them. After the two sat down, McGillis couldn't hide his smile.

"Want to chat? The transoceanic flight is a long one."

Ronald hooked his arm, pulled McGillis into his arms, and gently patted her shoulder to comfort her.

"Oh, Ronnie, you make me feel good. I'm fine. I just didn't expect this movie to make me so famous. I always thought it was just a big music video or a popcorn movie. Now I don't care.

Everywhere I go, people call me Charlie...

And I am not usually a person who dresses sexy. I used to work part-time as a waitress in a restaurant in order to act on Broadway. I didn’t expect this. Now my agent has received scripts, all of which are sexy girl roles, and I don’t have any.

I don’t want to act.”

McGillis talked about his troubles.

A star is a very strange creature. Before an actor evolves into a star, she, like all other actors waiting to become famous, is an ordinary actor. Every day she either attends acting training classes or auditions for the crew, and then goes home.

wait for news.

But sometimes, some actors are more lucky than others. They get a chance, and suddenly, bang, a movie suddenly becomes a hit, the whole world knows her, and she becomes a superior star overnight.

.

From then on, no matter where she went, there were enthusiastic fans asking for autographs and photos. Her reputation suddenly skyrocketed, and many film crews would take the initiative to send roles to her agent that she had never dared to think of.

But this can also cause trouble. When she was an actress in the past, she had unlimited possibilities and could play any role. For example, McGillis played the Amish in "Witness" before taking on "Top Gun".

A widow, for example, a college student played in a previous movie, or a Shakespeare play previously performed on Broadway.

But after she evolved into a star, the audience could no longer accept her unsexy look. As soon as they saw her, the audience would think of Charlie's sexy teacher who was wearing stockings and twisting her hair towards the podium.

appearance.

There are no producers or directors in Hollywood. When faced with other types of female characters, they will think of her. Instead, sexy teachers, sexy doctors, sexy lawyers, and sexy beautiful characters in various professions will all be the first to think of her.

One thinks of McGillis.

"Ronnie, Kelly." Tom Cruise arrived late, and it took a lot of time for him to send the fans away. Paula taught him very well. She never said anything bad to the fans and was always polite.

.

A short time after Cruise arrived, preparations for takeoff quickly began. The evening sunlight shone through the window, which was a bit dazzling. After the plane entered a high altitude and level flight, Ronald closed the window and coaxed McGillis to sleep.
