Exploiting Hollywood 1980.
Chapter 99 Rescue
Chapter 99 Rescue
It is a very vicious move to slander Ronald as Jean's partner in public.
In America in 1979, conservative forces and religious forces were very strong outside of a few large cities on the east and west coasts.There is no tolerance for people like Jean, and in many southern states, they are treated as a disease and sent to specialized correctional institutions for treatment.
Although the entertainment industry is quite tolerant of them, and many people are also part of it, none of them will admit it publicly.
The reason is actually very simple, if you admit it publicly, then you will not be able to act in a romantic drama, or any movie that has a romantic scene.This is tantamount to excluding 99% of film and television.
It is impossible for the majority of American people to watch your male and female romantic comedies knowing that you are gay.
And like the character of Montgomery, the actor himself is heterosexual.Although the plot of coming out publicly in an acting class is very outrageous, some audiences can still accept it because they know that this is a heterosexual actor playing a role in a play.
When that actor acts in other plays, the audience can also understand that the actor played a role in the play last time.Substituting a new movie role will not have too many obstacles.
Including the new Oscar winner, Jon Voight, also has the experience of playing Kei. The role of "Midnight Cowboy" did not cause too much obstacle to his acting career, but made him famous in one fell swoop.
This is the reality of America right now, you can play it on the screen, but never admit to it in public.
Besides, Ronald is not at all!
When the dirty water splashed up, Ronald immediately felt very troublesome.The timing of this Britannica is ingenious.
Now he proposes to add a scene, because Montgomery's character has already performed the plot of coming out, so everyone on the shooting scene will not feel that this is specially set up specifically for Gene and Ronald.It's a normal debate about art.
In this way, Jean was also put on the fire.
If Gene didn't play this plot, then everyone at the scene would think he was hypocritical.The actor who played Montgomery didn't say anything. You are probably one of them, but you don't want to speak out for your own people?
If Jean plays?Then his future acting career will be completely cut off, and his image will be completely fixed on the two-way plug Leroy in the movie version of "Fame".
Maybe that's one of Alan Parker's goals, he didn't want producer David da Silva to make a TV series of the same name and turn his (self-considered) great realist work into a soap opera.
Another purpose is nothing more than to take revenge on Gene and Ronald who once challenged his authority.The two young men dared to disrespect him on the set. In Alan Parker's view, this was intolerable and must be punished.
"Your plot design doesn't match Leroy's usual plot and character design." The producer was also furious at the sudden attack, which meant to ruin his TV series plan.
"The audience knew that Leroy was in love with Hillary and CoCo. You suddenly added a same-sex plot here, which will only make the audience feel troubled. They don't know who Leroy is? What happened."
David da Silva gives an artistic reason why this story doesn't hold.He probably spent a lot of brain cells in order to come up with this legitimate reason to veto the director's outrageous plan, right?
"This is just an idea of mine. If you insist on not shooting like this, we can change the plot. I just think this is a good opportunity for people like you to speak out in front of the public." Alan Parker pretended to regret, no Insist on having to shoot this episode.
"No, no, he didn't want to shoot this episode at all." Ronald also came back to his senses.When did studio tyrant Alan Parker become so talkative?Can you easily give up your artistic ideas?
In other words, at the end of the filming of the whole film, the main purpose of playing this trick was to take revenge on Ronald, Gene, and Da Silva, the three people who had offended him.
And this so-called concession is to further confirm that Ronald and Gene are "partners".
Ronald narrowed his eyes, his blood surging.This disgusting way of avenging personal revenge is very similar to the British style. It is cold, disgusting, and harming others is not necessarily self-interested.
Ordinary words now can't correct the people present's views on themselves.Even if he denies it himself, the seeds of doubt are planted in everyone's hearts.
Besides, Gene is a real base. After he becomes popular in the entertainment industry, if someone mentions Ronald Lee, he will be associated with Gene Ray.
This is not a good reputation, how will I get along in the entertainment industry in the future?How to find a girlfriend in the circle?
Ronald thought for more than a dozen seconds, and he had to dispel this rumor in a way that impressed everyone.Maybe there is a better way, maybe the way I came up with is not rational, but this is not a strategic deduction. After losing this one-minute opportunity, after Alan Parker announced the start of filming, he couldn't fight back.
At that time, people would not think of Ronald being nice to them. From now on, when they talked about the crew of "Famous", their first impression would be: Do you know Gene and Ronald? ... Hehehe.
Ronald didn't want this impression to freeze in the minds of everyone present.He stepped forward, faced Alan Parker alone, and wanted to beat him up.
Yes, the way Ronald thought of was to beat up the director.Destroying his own rumors in a violent way is definitely impressive.Maybe in the future, when everyone in the crew mentions the crew of "Famous Around the World", they will think: Did you know?Allen broke Ronald's secret, and Ronald beat him up.
It seems that it is not very good.
But Ronald couldn't care less, clenched his fists and looked directly at Alan Parker.The instinct of fighting made Ronald's eyes look fierce, and Allen also reacted instinctively. Ronald wanted to beat him, so he immediately raised his hands and made a boxing gesture, signaling the other party not to come closer.
It seems to say, I have also practiced, so come here if you have the courage.
Ronald let out a sneer in his nasal cavity. This is a real fight, not a boxing match in a rope ring. Today I will let you taste the taste of Huaguo style wrestling.
"If you ask me, Alan, you are blind." The words of choreographer Luis Falco interrupted Ronald's plan.
The first heroine of the crew, Irene Cara who played CoCo, came over and took Gene's hand. The two walked out of the venue affectionately and walked to the dressing room.
Everyone, including Ronald, was stunned by this sudden turn of events. When did the two of them get together?
Besides, Ronald knew that, unlike himself, he was slandered by Alan Parker, and Gene was really...
The two walked all the way, and the crowd began to whistle and applaud to express their congratulations.Ronald noticed the smiling producer David da Silva in the crowd, and the man in the suit behind him turned out to be the agent who had been by Irene Cara's side all the time.
Looks like the producers and Gene were prepared, there are no idiots in this business.Maybe except for themselves, they thought they would stop biting people if they avoided the poisonous snakes.Ronald began to review his previous strategy of avoiding blindly.
"So this love is one-way, Ronnie?" Alan Parker's venomous voice came again, "Is your anger at Meg Tilly's failure before the election all a disguise? Or is it you The two-way plug?"
"You asked for this, Alan," Ronald thought secretly, and he brought up the matter of Meg again, and reminded Ronald that this account should be settled together.
A gust of wind brushed over Ronald's face, and a familiar face appeared in front of Ronald.
It was Antonia Franceschi in her dance dress, with her coat tied around her waist.
Antonia smiled at him, her blond hair tied back in a ponytail today.Her feet were still wearing the leg warmers Ronald had given her that day, and she walked lightly in soft-soled dancing shoes.
She walked half a circle around Ronald, neither close nor far away.Neither a stranger on the subway nor an established couple.
Ronald felt his anger suddenly disappear without a trace, and that smiling face filled all the space in his heart.
Antonia took two steps, seeing that Ronald didn't follow, and stayed where she was.Can't help but look back at him.The two red ears made Antonia laugh again, it was a bit cute, then she shook her head, giving Ronald a signal to keep up.
Ronald saw Antonia's signal for half a second, and suddenly figured it out.It's like Erin Cara was arranged by the agent and the producer to save Gene Ray.
Antonia is the angel who comes to save him from embarrassment.But no one instructed her, Antonia volunteered to save Ronald's reputation.
Ronald laughed, ignored Alan Parker next to him, and followed him.
He gently raised his arm for Antonia to hold, and the two also walked to the lounge outside the set.Ronald whispered "Thank you!" in Antonia's ear softly
"Needless thanks, Ronnie. You're like a knight, you've saved me twice before. Once with a leg warmer and once when Lucy fell off a car."
"Then the princess in turn saves the knight, and I like how the story ends."
The whistle and applause of the audience sounded again.
"Alan, you are really blind," the choreographer said again.
