Because Sybil Shepard is pregnant, she will take a break at the end of the season of "Blue Moonlight". The producers have plans for this and have arranged the corresponding plot, allowing Sybil to shoot some scenes in the two episodes.

, and then the plot is temporarily out of the Detective Agency.

However, due to the premature birth of the twins, the producer was suddenly attacked in terms of time.

The producers originally only knew that she was pregnant, not twins. They also did not make much preparation for the unexpected premature birth.

Therefore, after Shepard's public relations representative rushed to release the news to the media, the producers had no choice but to follow up and released the public relations draft drafted by Shepard. After revising the manuscript, the entire crew expressed their blessing to the heroine

.

This sudden attack method allows the audience to be exposed to the hot topics of discussion from Shepard's side for the first time. News about her loving husband, healthy children, blessings from the producer, etc.

Sybil Shepherd did not tell the producers the whole truth, and the sudden production forced the crew to stop filming immediately... Such discussions were all reflected in the one-sided congratulatory phone calls from the audience to the TV station.

Become out of date.

The producers had no choice but to dilute the previously filmed scenes featuring Sybil into episodes over three months, and then let other actors fill in the plot. Her screen time also became very small, and Bruce

Willis basically has no scenes with him anymore.

Bruce Willis had no choice but to sit back and quickly shoot the story for the next three months while waiting for Ronald and Silver to call him to make a movie.

This is fatal to the ratings of the TV series. You don’t know how many viewers will continue to watch this TV series that lacks the appearance of a heroine.

After all, it is one thing to send blessings to female celebrities, but it is another thing to say that the TV series is not good to watch. Even the ABC TV station where "Blue Moonlight" is located, there are still popular dramas such as "Growing Pains" to support the ratings.

"Blue Moonlight's" executive producer, Glenn Gordon Cullen, was furious. He was dealing with a veteran TV show whose ratings were already declining.

In the last episode of the third season last year, "Maddie" played by Sybil Shepard and "David" played by Bruce Willis, after three seasons of attracting each other and opposing each other, finally finally

became a couple.

But the audience was not satisfied with this plot. What they came to see was the plot of Maddie and David bickering with each other and worrying about each other. If the two really want to be together, the biggest attraction of the TV series will be missing.

So Glenn Gordon Cullen has begun directing the writers' room and began to slowly change the storyline, planning to have Maddie and David separate again about one-third of the season and restore the setting of becoming happy enemies.

But when Sybil takes leave, he is bound to stick to the previous plot line and can no longer change the plot based on audience feedback.

In such a TV series, which relies entirely on the chemical reaction between the male and female protagonists to attract the audience, it is very fatal to leave the audience dissatisfied with the plot, and the heroine only appears for a few minutes in each episode.

Glenn Gordon Cullen was so angry that he submitted his resignation and asked the company to hire another Gao Ming or rewrite the role of Terry, the new character of this season. Let Brooke Adams, the female star who plays the role of a single mother, be written as Willis.

Plays David's new love interest.

Of course, ABC has doubts about this adjustment. In their view, the success of "Blue Moonlight" is entirely due to the selection of the two leading actors and actresses. Sybil Shepard is already 37 years old, but with every gesture,

She still has the feeling of a young urban woman under thirty years old.

Paired with Bruce Willis, who is just in his early thirties but looks old, it feels like a couple.

Glenn Gordon Cullen scoffed at this. The producer who previously produced the detective TV series "The Legend of Remington Steele" starring Pierce Brosnan, bluntly said that his grasp of detective dramas is the key.

The reason why it ranks ninth in the country in ratings.

He gave ABC a choice, either keep Sybill Shepherd or keep him. Either way, one of them would have to be fired.

…

Ronald learned about another round of quarrels in the TV series through Demi Moore's tip. He came to Joel Silver to finalize the main members of the series.

"Bruce Willis is finally willing to join. It's really an opportunity given by God." Joel Silver has a bit of magical trust in Ronald's vision. No matter who he chooses to be the protagonist, he can make them famous.

.

The most recent "Dirty Dancing" actor, Patrick Schwytz, has become famous. He was recently invited to the White House to receive an award from the First Lady in person.

The heroine, Jennifer Gray, is also constantly being booked for films. If she hadn't recovered from her neck injury in a car accident involving her boyfriend Matthew Brodick, she would have been the subject of competition for multiple projects.

Audiences across the United States fell in love with this good Jewish girl Baby who played the role. Even though the typical Jewish big nose ruined the balance of the facial features, the audience tolerated it. They voted her into the top ten most popular teenage actresses in America.

name.

"However, we can't let him think that we can't survive without him, Ronald." Joel Silver is a veteran producer who has rich experience in handling overconfident male protagonists.

"What do you have in mind?" Ronald was already prepared for the difficulties and wrangling that a producer would face when facing a star, and now was a good opportunity to learn from Silver.

"The Eastern philosopher, Confucius once said," Silver leaned back and sat on the chair, then stretched out his right hand and drew a half circle, "If you have the ability to do it, you must show a certain attitude at this time."

Act like you can't do it; if you can't do it, act like you can definitely do it..."

"That's what Sun Tzu said," Ronald muttered quietly, but this strategy might be a good idea in this situation.

When Bruce Willis contacted him because of this, he asked him to do both TV series and movies. Naturally, Willis and his agent knew that Ronald and Silver needed him very much.

.

In addition to the 5 million salary proposed by the new president of Fox, he also proposed various superstar benefits. For example, he wanted a luxurious RV, a place for his girlfriend Demi Moore to rest, and his designated assistant.

Hairstylists, makeup artists, separate dressing rooms... Of course, all of this is paid for by the film studio.

And all of this is because Willis's agent felt that the producers had no other candidates besides him.

What Ronald and Silver have to do now is to make various noises to make them feel that besides Willis, there is not no second choice here.

"I sent an invitation to Harrison Ford and asked him to come to the party and talk about future cooperation." Ronald touched his chin. He had brought back many classical books from the East, and he quickly understood this kind of thing.

.Anyway, Harrison Ford is not willing to act in the original script. What I discussed with him could also be other cooperation opportunities.

"Bingo, I'm going to meet Leonard Goldberg, the new president of 20th Century Fox. He's an old man in television. He understands this kind of thing." Joel Silver's reaction to Ronald was very

satisfy.

"What kind of news are you going to make? I think the best candidate for this movie is Bruce Willis. Don't make it self-defeating." Ronald was a little worried. "The key to this movie is to make the audience think that the hero John

·McLean is just like them, and he also has many unsatisfactory places in his life..."

"I understand, I understand, so I won't let the suitability of the casting go..." Silver already agreed with Ronald's reason for casting, "I plan to use his salary to create a stir in Hollywood.

Some discussions can also warm up our movie..."

"Hahaha...you are really..." Ronald admired this trick very much. He could eat two things with one fish. While lowering the price, he could also speculate for free.

And the point of this hype is exactly what George Sr.’s campaign consultant Roger Ailes said, people like it best if they hit the gossip topic directly...

"It's not bad." Silver showed a "better" smile and sat back on the sofa.

"I'm going to find Cinema Score and do an audience awareness survey for Willis, so that we can go downhill when the time comes."

"What a good idea!" Silver jumped up from the sofa after hearing Ronald's idea, "Shxt", he was so excited that he knocked his thigh down again, rubbing it while praising, "This is a good idea,

It fits perfectly with our plan to stir up gossip.”

"Tomorrow we will meet the director candidate. His last film was said by Roger Ebert to make the audience care about the protagonist from beginning to end, which exactly meets your requirements for a film." Joel Silver also decided.

The time has been set for the meeting between the director candidate and Ronald.

…

"Oh, he is just a clown. He gave me 1.5 points, and he also pretended to say that I will direct the leading actor Pierce Brosnan. He criticized the story content of my movie. This kind of film critic is the most annoying."

The director candidate, John McTiernan, who was in his thirties, heard Ronald asking about film critics. He didn't show any respect to Roger Ebert and scolded him.

His first movie was called "Nomadland", an action movie starring Pierce Brosnan. The box office was very poor, only 2.3 million US dollars.

But the second one was Fox's blockbuster action science fiction film this summer, "Predator," which took in more than $50 million at the box office.

So Silver has great trust in a director who has proven himself at the box office and can create a leading actor that the audience can care about. He is the second best candidate after Ronald, and the first

Recommended to Ronald.

"Oh, he and I also have a bit of history... Without talking about this boring person, what do you think of the movie? Especially the actor John, he is the key to this movie..."

"I like this script very much. It has a sense of humor. Unlike Stallone's action movies, the terrorists in the villains are all disgusting, obscene idiots."

John McTiernan gave a lot of his thoughts on the script, most of which were the same as Ronald's understanding and the dream.

"I plan to find a male protagonist like Cary Grant, who is gentle on the surface but calm on the inside. Such a person can defeat the terrorists when they hijack the building headquarters... Just like the male protagonist of my first movie,

Like Pierce Brosnan..."

"Ahem..." Joel Silver gestured beside him, expressing that he didn't know John McTiernan had so many ideas. In fact, the de facto executive director didn't have much to say about casting.

The right to speak is decided by the two producers and the president of 20th Century Fox.

"Aha..." Ronald was about to retort, but he remembered the Eastern wisdom maxims Silver said yesterday. John McTiernan actually has no power, but instead he has to act like he has the power.

, people always tend to approve, as if they made the decision themselves, rather than being told by their boss.

"Actually, have you ever thought that we might be able to tell the story from another aspect?" Ronald began to think of reasons while convincing the other party.

"What story line? I'm very interested..." John McTiernan didn't dare to neglect Ronald. He was a man with a very keen sense of commercial movies.

"We all agree that the key to this movie is that the audience recognizes that the protagonist is a member of their group and an ordinary person." Ronald observed John McTiernan's eyes and saw that he agreed with this, so he continued.

Go down.

"A New York police detective came to the free and open Los Angeles. His wife's salary was much higher than his. She did not use his last name, but her maiden name as her working name. Ordinary viewers must also often encounter troubles in the workplace.

, in the end, Mike Lian used his experience and wisdom to defeat the terrorists and win back his wife's love..."

A producer who is a successful director is one who thinks about problems from the director's perspective.
