Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 625: Stay away and don't splash on yourself

  Chapter 625 Stay away and don’t splash on your body

"It was a Thursday night, like all Thursday nights in all the bars in every young city in the world, and the Spotlight Club was full of boys and girls. It was New York, so the boys were in T-shirts, sunglasses and Shorts, girls in miniskirts, rock star Madonna hairstyles…”

   What Ronald got in his hand was the cover story of the latest issue of "New York" magazine. David Bloom's article was so sensational and could arouse the envy and jealousy of young readers that the editor-in-chief adjusted it to a cover feature.

  The report is very long. At the beginning, it describes the male stars of the three Boys Gang. They use their eyes to choose the most beautiful beauties in the club, and then use their eyes to let them join their table.

"A girl straightened her long white T-shirt over her blue skirt, brushed her jet-black bangs away from her eyes, patted her hips with both hands, and walked slowly to the table... even though she already knew that the three Celebrities all have regular girlfriends."

  Ronald felt that the writing of this article was similar to a movie script. It vividly depicted the mentality of those girls who were close to the stars, and the unscrupulous side of the three boys helping the actors.

   Three Kid Gang members yell "Nazdorovye!", the Russian word for "good health" toast. But in fact here, this is a code that they agreed in private. Each Boy Gang member can only choose one girl in a club. .

   There is an unhurried, pretty boy who is the unofficial president of the Kid Gang. Maybe it's because he's the son of a famous actor, Martin Sheen. At only 23 years old, Emilio Estevez looks like his famous father. His innocent and sweet smile attracts more women, and he can't resist them.

   "She's a playmate today," he whispers as an exotic young woman in a purple jumpsuit sits next to him, smiling like an old friend.

   This is Hollywood's Brat Pack, the new Rat Pack of the 1980s, just like the Rat Pack of the 1960s — a touring band of famous young stars who hang around parties, women, and good times.

  The Hollywood Boys get their act together whenever possible—the average American moviegoer has seen at least one of their co-starring films in the past four years.

  The first Boy Gang movie was "Lights Out," about kids taking over a military school.

   Then there's "Outside the World," an adaptation of Hinton's novel, directed by Francis Ford Coppola.

  Director Ronald Lee's "fast-paced Richmond High" takes them one step further and into the teen audience's sights.

   Next up is "The Breakfast Club" by John Hughes.

   And now The Boys' latest film, "St. Elmo's Fire," will be released in New York.

   "Why is there still me?"

  Ronald looked at Nisita and Richard who came here specially. Do you still have your own business here?

   "Your name was only mentioned here once, and we thought it was a positive report, so we didn't ask to delete it."

  While "New York Magazine" is a self-respecting publication, it is impossible to delete relevant content because of the complaints of the interviewees, but that reporter, David Bloom, will do anything for money.

   Then reporter Bloom listed Hollywood's "kid gang".

   Tom Cruise was named the "hottest" kid. His "Good Guys Are Crazy" made a profit of more than 30 million for the film company.

   Then there is the most talented kid in acting, Sean Penn.

  Minority representative kid, Nicolas Cage.

   Hardworking Kung Fu Kid Ralph Mazio.

   "These are positive images, so after discussing with the public relations company, Paula kept Tom's name in the report."

  Ronald expressed understanding that Ralph Mazio was also the result of Weintraub's overnight public relations, and was put into the positive group of aggressive boys.

   Then there are a few stars that David Bloom deeply detests, maybe members of the "Brats Gang"

   "Emilio Estevez, president of the Brats Gang."

   "Pretty Face Rob Lowe."

   "The Most Misnamed Kid, Judd Nelson."

   "The kid least likely to replace Marlon Brando, Matt Dillon."

   "Most misfit kid, Andrew McCarthy."

   "Barely a kid from the Kid Gang, Matthew Brodick."

  After this list, David Bloom's machine guns started to fire, these guys didn't go to college, they graduated high school and went to Hollywood acting. Most of their parents are insiders, and their starting point is much higher than ordinary people.

   And they were unwilling to put in the extra effort to learn acting, skipping the crucial step to success that Marlon Brando, or more recently, the generation of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino demanded: years of acting study.

  Young actors used to spend years at the knees of esteemed teachers like Lee Strasberg, and Stella Adler before venturing out on stage, let alone in film. Today, this step is considered less necessary.

   "Tom's PR manuscript is ready?" Ronald looked up and asked Nisita.

   “Yes, the day after his interview was published.”

   "How is he doing with Marty in Chicago?"

   "Still getting familiar with the script, you know that he has dyslexia and needs more time than others to prepare the script. When will you return to Los Angeles?"

"Next week, I have an appointment with Disney's Eisner, and I will talk about Disney's live-action movies. He got the screen fund, and he hasn't cast a movie yet, and the director of the fund has urged me again. "

  Ronald scratched his head, and George Jr. called. He was not good at Tangsai, so he might have to talk to Eisner.

Ronald continued to read, and the reporter said that Emilio deliberately called the theater manager in order to get a free ticket to the movie "Ladyhawke", putting on a bad air of "do you know who I am", Just to show off your privilege.

   "Legend of Eagle Wolf" is a special effects blockbuster starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Matthew Brodick. It is said that Emilio wants to see it, so there is no need to call a manager to ask for free tickets.

   Unless he deliberately did it in front of reporters for the sake of face.

  Ronald continued to read the report. The reporter David Bloom changed the topic and started a story of an adventure from the perspective of Emilio Estevez.

   Emilio has a master Harry Dean Stanton. It was Natasha Kinski and Rebecca De Mornay's ex-boyfriend before, who didn't spend money, didn't need a position in the industry, wasn't handsome, and could often get to the top. Beauty girl's ability.

  Emilio often climbs to the Stanton house on the top of Beverly Hills to learn how to pick up girls. In addition to the well-known Demi Moore, he also has more than 20 temporary girlfriends.

   "This Emilio, what did he do to offend the reporter? Why did he describe him so badly?"

   "Keep watching, your acquaintances are still making trouble." Richard pointed to the following description for him.

   "Hey? Why is he involved again?" Ronald found out that he had another enemy.

   After coming out of the Spotlight Club, Emilio ran to the opposite Dongying Restaurant and asked the bodyguards to clear the best private room for him and his friends to enjoy sushi alone. The bouncers stopped all the diners outside, and only pretty girls were allowed in to ask for autographs.

  His girlfriend Demi did not come to continue the second booth, and Emilio was looking forward to another beautiful girl fan. But it wasn't fans who came in, but another unofficial member of the "Smelly Boys Gang", Timothy Hutton, the only Oscar winner.

   Hutton's hair is greasy, and the two chat about mutual acquaintance Sean Penn, who now dates Madonna all day long. After Hutton left, Emilio teased Hutton loudly in front of his friends. He lost three movies in a row, and now no one in Hollywood is looking for him to make a film.

   "Oscars are nothing. If you don't make money, you can't do it. If you want to be popular in this industry, you have to keep making movies that make money. I will soon write, direct and act in a movie, and so will Rob Lowe."

   "It's Timothy Hutton?" Ronald looked up at the manager.

   "The news now is that he, and possibly Sean Penn and Madonna, Emilio didn't know how to judge, and randomly judged many people. These people may cause trouble for him."

   "And you, he also commented on your work, we asked reporter David Bloom to delete it."

   "There must be nothing good to say." Ronald saw that Emilio had so many enemies, so he was no longer ready to add insult to injury. Otherwise, if you hit the young ones, some old ones will come out, so it's best to maintain the posture of watching the show.

   "Hahaha... Bloom is well written, and he praises us as the most talented young actor in Hollywood."

  After the publication of New York Magazine, Emilio Estevez brought in Rob Lowe and Judd Nelson and started boasting. The length of his story is much longer than that of the two best friends, and it is also a place where he can save face.

Lori Rodkin, Judd Nelson's girlfriend and manager, saw something was wrong and pulled her boyfriend aside, "Has Emilio offended someone? Why is this report saying you don't hone your acting skills?" ? You are obviously a student of Stella Adler, but we were introduced by her daughter."

   "I don't know, there are many people who are jealous of Emilio's achievements and family background. It shouldn't have anything to do with me. I read that the whole article is generally talking about him, and I'm just a supporting role."

"Are you stupid?" Rodkin hated iron and steel, "Why Tom Cruise and the others just mentioned a name, and you and Emilio were tied together, and the bad things were all done by you and Rob Lowe What? You have to make a statement and draw a line with him."

   "Isn't that good? We're friends."

   "Friend? You see he will soon throw the responsibility on you." Luo Dejin was so angry that he dropped the bag on the ground.

   "Mr. Estevez, your number."

   "Dad? Why did you call me?" Emilio was so drunk that he accidentally received a call from his father Martin Xin at the bar.

   "Who is scheming you? Why is this story?"

   "No? The reporter is my friend. I asked him to come to the club for an interview. By the way, I also introduced some of my friends. They also appeared on the cover of the magazine. Thank you before I have time."

  Martin Sheen almost got a heart attack from his elder son's anger, "Friend? That's how my friend slanders you, you can act because of me? Never hone your acting skills? Have a formal girlfriend and more than 20 temporary girlfriends?

  Call your agent right away, and do what he says, and I'll talk to Mr. Eisner about a new distribution deal. "

   Emilio Estevez reacted and looked at the table where he was.

  Wow...

  Everyone vacated a stool, which is where he sat. A minute ago, everyone was desperately trying to get closer to the president of the Boy Gang, but now they all avoid him like a patient.

   "Demi, where are you going?"

   Emilio saw that Demi Moore was leaving too, so he asked to stay. This is the only girlfriend he can talk to under this situation.

   "Go find your more than 20 temporary girlfriends!"

   Demi turned and left the bar.

  She returned to the high-end apartment on the top floor of the brand new building, smoked a cigarette, and collected herself. How should we take advantage of this situation now and strive for the greatest benefit for ourselves?

   "Hey, Ronald, I want to ask, what happened to Emilio? Did you take the shot?"

   "Nothing, he probably offended other actors who competed with him for the role. I am a director, and I have no fundamental conflict with him." Ronald immediately denied.

   "What should I do? Ronald, now I'm like a laughing stock. Everyone laughs at me. Not only do I have bad eyesight, but I'm also rejected by my boyfriend."

   "It's up to you to decide what to do. I can only say that in the past week, someone will shoot at him. You'd better stay away from him, so as not to get splashed on your body."
