Columbus didn't embarrass Ronald for too long. After taking a few shots, he ended the filming of the guest scene.

"Is my photo okay? It's just that the costume is a bit cold here." Ronald took a blanket and wrapped it in it. He was wearing a vest in winter, and there were deliberately sprinkled with water droplets that looked like sweat on his body. It was no joke.

"Did you know? In the original script, the comic character Sarah was obsessed with was He-Man, the giant of the universe and the prince of Etania." Columbus said to Ronald.

"Hahaha, then you have to wear that sexy dress, wave your sword, and shout: Give me power! I am He-Man!" Elizabeth Su couldn't stop laughing when she heard this. She used to be in high school.

When I was young, I often watched the animations of He-Man and She-Ra.

"Uh..." Ronald shook his head. He didn't want to dress like Schwarzenegger in Conan the Barbarian.

Ronald chatted with Elizabeth Sue for a while. It was the first time that she took on the role of a heroine with a sufficient role. She was full of eagerness to try, fully embodying the mentality of a high school nanny, and her creative state was very good.

This "Adventures of Nanny" is very interesting. In fact, there is no real male protagonist. The whole story is told around the heroine, the nanny Chris Parker.

"Ronald, do I really want to be photographed in a Playboy magazine?"

Elizabeth Su's eyes were bright, and she asked Ronald, who had helped her debut in a chewing gum commercial. She had great trust in Ronald.

Probably more than half of American girls had the idea of ​​becoming Playboy girls when they were young. Of course, when they grow up and know what their male classmates do with Playboy photos of their midriffs, they will immediately give up the idea.

"So, do you want to take the photo or not?" Ronald replied with a smile.

"Well, I do want to take some nice photos. Is it a Playboy cover photo or a mid-section photo?"

Elizabeth Su is wearing a yellow camel hair coat. She has a very good temperament and looks like a daughter raised by an upper-middle-class family.

Ronald is still very satisfied with his casting decision.

"Cover, center seam, the whole set," he replied.

Although Playboy is a men's magazine, it is also sold on newsstands in America, so the cover often shows a close-up of the model's upper body, and the midsection is the main reason why many men buy the magazine, as it is larger in size.

"Ah...can you not take a photo of the midriff? I don't want to take a photo of you taking off your clothes."

Elisabeth Shue was a little embarrassed that she had a hard time getting the heroine of this movie, but if she took off her clothes on the screen, even if it was a photo in a magazine, it would have a great impact on her future.

"What are you thinking? This is a PG-13 movie. Of course you are wearing clothes." Ronald couldn't help but patted Su on the head. He had been playing the role of a high school nanny all day long, and he got too involved in the role and got a little distracted.

"Oh..." Elizabeth Su also laughed, she really thought too much.

Back at the hotel where the crew was staying, Ronald checked into a room and called his agent Niceta in Los Angeles.

"I want to talk to the owner of Playboy, Hugh Hefner, but the crew said they can't find anyone else recently."

"Hefner? Are you looking for him?" Niceta was a little surprised. Why did her client's taste change? A blonde who wanted some food?

"There is a subplot in "Adventures in Nanny." The protagonist, the nanny Chris, looks a bit like the Playboy cover girl. We plan to let Elizabeth Sue take some photos and make a fake Playboy. This matter requires Hefner's nod.

, but the Disney people couldn’t find him.”

"Oh, you can't find him." Niceta understood what Ronald was thinking, and then told what happened in California recently.

In the mid-1980s, especially at the beginning of the second term of office of the President, the conservative forces in America gradually occupied some space for activities.

Playboy, a men's magazine that was popular in the hippie era, has now become the target of conservative forces. Many anti-pornography people have gradually begun to target this most famous magazine. Some departments of the American government are also showing signs of taking action.

Start purging this media.

Some women's rights groups, centered on some magazines in New York, have also begun to expose and criticize magazines that objectify and exploit women.

This caused Playboy's stock price to begin to slowly decline, and the high-end clubs that the magazine had opened across the country were gradually closed.

Especially in the past few months, "Newsweek" interviewed the magazine tycoon Hugh Hefner and did a cover story.

The report relayed the conclusion of some Wall Street researchers that the subscription volume of "Playboy" magazine was declining rapidly. The capital market's reaction to this impending storm was the plummeting stock price.

As a tycoon who pioneered serious adult magazines in the conservative 1950s and 1960s, Hugh Hefner had a very keen sense of smell. He felt that a force against him was gradually taking shape. Just a few weeks ago, he was

I had a minor stroke and was sent to the hospital.

"He's not really having a stroke, is he?" Ronald asked.

"Who knows? Now that he's back at the Playboy mansion, there's only one girl taking care of him. I can find a way to get him to call you back."

…

"Is this Mr. Ronald Lee?" A delicate woman's voice called after a while.

"Is it me, are you?" Ronald answered the phone and asked.

"Mr. Hugh Hefner wants to speak to you."

"Ronald, can I call you Ronald? Have you ever been to my Playboy mansion? Although there are not as many beautiful girls as before, I still recommend you to come and have fun. There is everything here."

"Hello, Mr. Hefner, I went there once, but I didn't stay long. Thank you for the invitation."

Ronald had been there a long time ago, but he didn't leave a deep impression and left halfway.

"I think my agent has also told you that I hope you can support Hollywood as you did before. There is a plot in a movie I produced..."

"No problem, I only have one request." Hefner is very interested in this popular director in Hollywood. Although the magazine has to avoid the limelight for the time being, there will be a day of recovery. Men say they must respect

Women, do you secretly look at girls with midriffs?

If such a director can often appear at parties at his Playboy mansion, he will be very attractive to beauties who want to enter the film industry.

"Please tell me..." Ronald did not expect Hefner to be so supportive, and politely asked him to put forward his request.

"What's the name of your actress...Elizabeth Sue?...She's going to the Playboy Mansion for filming."

"Isn't that necessary? We can ensure that the shooting process is in line with Playboy's photography style, and the fake magazine created will have the same appearance as your magazine."

"My dear Ronald, this is my little willfulness, you won't let me down, right? Besides, why take fake pictures when there is real stuff? I can provide a real Playboy photographer, just

We can publish a special edition in the Playboy mansion where the monthly magazine's centerpiece girls are photographed..."

Hugh Hefner is currently being chased and scolded by conservatives and feminist organizations. If a Hollywood director can come out to rectify the name of his magazine... so he insists that it must be shot on location.

Ronald scratched his head. The movie was still being filmed. The heroine flew to Los Angeles to take photos, which would cause some delays. Plus...

"I'm afraid I can't. Mr. Hefner, my heroine Elizabeth Sue signed a contract with Disney. There is no clause about taking off her clothes. I can't force or coax her..."

"You are a gentleman, hahaha, Ronald." Hugh Hefner smiled on the other end of the phone.

"Actually, I have no prejudice against Playboy, but I think the models who become Playboy's monthly girls know the price they have to pay. And our movie is going to be rated PG-13

taking pictures."

"Who said we should take pictures of people taking off their clothes? Of course they should be pictures of people wearing clothes. It's a special edition." Hugh Hefner chuckled. "In fact, every issue of Playboy has photos of tastefully dressed women, but I

The middle-cut girl is the most famous. It just so happens that I am about to start transforming myself into a magazine."

"Okay, okay, we've made an agreement?" Since Hefner can let the dressed girls appear in Playboy, it would be most similar to let the original photographer and staff make props for a special edition.

Well.

"It's settled, you and your actress can come over the weekend, and we'll have a good chat when we get there. My daughter Christie will be in charge of all the shooting."

Anyway, it was vacation, so Ronald took a plane alone and returned to Los Angeles first. He was still a little worried and wanted to go to the Playboy mansion to finalize the matter.

The Playboy Mansion is located in the Holmby Hills neighborhood near the coast of the greater Los Angeles area.

This place was originally built by a Broadway department store tycoon. It went through several owners. In 1971, it was bought by Hugh Hefner, a successful magazine businessman. He converted the place into a limestone and brick building.

Group of mansions.

There are 29 rooms in total, as well as an outdoor swimming pool, waterfall, organ room, cinema, and outdoor barbecue and sauna. Outdoors there is also a large koi pond with artificial stream, a small citrus grove and two mature trees.

Fern and redwood forest.

Ronald was very interested in this koi pond, which has a strong oriental flavor.

"The various landscapes here were built for the photos in each issue of Playboy. Over the past ten years, they have been gradually added and renovated. I will take you around."

The speaker was Christie Hefner, the eldest daughter of Hugh Hefner. Her parents divorced when she was very young. Christie went to college on her own and worked as a film critic for a period of time after graduation. Later, she and

My father reconciled and came to work at Playboy magazine.

So Christie had a natural affinity with Ronald as a director.

"Thank you. I feel that coming here during the day is very different from the last time I came here at night." Ronald took off his sunglasses. This place is still a very interesting tourist attraction during the day.

"Haha, do you feel the same way? I have recently been persuading my father to open this place to family travelers and transform it into a must-visit attraction when traveling to Holmby Mountain."

"In this case, will Xiu agree?"

Ronald was stunned. This was Hugh Hefner's empire, his domain. He lived here, and the original servants' west wing was the editorial office of the magazine.

At the same time, Hugh Hefner also invited the women he liked to live in his mansion. At most, he dated seven women at the same time.

Can such a happy cave be turned into a family vacation destination?

Seeing Ronald's disbelief, Christie quickly said the answer she had been honing recently, "Our Playboy magazine has always been a feminist magazine, a serious magazine covering politics, economics, fashion and other fields.

Many children regard the Playboy Mansion as a place like Disneyland."

"Pfft...cough..." Ronald couldn't hold it back and thought the Playboy mansion was a Disneyland. How dare you think that.

"Father?" Christie was about to retort when she saw her father, Hugh Hefner, walking on the bridge.

"Ronald, it's great to see you here." Hugh Hefner was wearing his signature silk pajamas, smoking a pipe in one hand and holding a Pepsi in the other.

"Hello, Mr. Hefner, I was talking to Christy about the feminist nature of your magazine."
