Chapter 206 Wash away the lead
"Ronnie, Diane got a movie heroine and is going to Vancouver to make a movie."
Ronald went to his aunt's house for dinner in the evening. At the family reunion dinner on the weekend, Donna couldn't wait to announce the good news for Diane Lane.
"Oh, congratulations!" Ronald, without champagne, held up his Coke and congratulated Diane.
"What movie? Who directed it?"
"It's a movie about a girl punk band, just like the Rock High School you directed, Ronald." Donna was the first to answer.
Diane raised her eyebrows, as if she wasn't satisfied with Donna's comparison of the low-budget exploitative film "High School of Rock" with the big studio films she was in.
"It was Paramount invested $6 million and directed by music mogul Lou Adler himself, called 'All WashedUp'"
The name Lou Adler is very familiar, but not in the field of music, but in the field of film, Ronald seems to have seen it somewhere.
By the way, isn't this name the executive producer of "Rocky Horror Show"? It turned out that the producer did not do it, and wanted to switch careers to become a director.
"He's a record company owner, but he's very artistically creative. I heard that Paramount wanted him to direct 'Breakthrough,' but he insisted on directing the punk story. That's what he's familiar with." Day Ann Lane's deliberately stern face could not hide her happiness.
"Hahahaha..." Diane, who was tickled twice by Donna, couldn't hold it anymore, and the two little girls laughed together.
"Can we go see Diane on the Vancouver set when filming starts next month? Mom?"
"Of course, dear, we haven't traveled in a long time." Aunt Karen agreed.
"Yeah," Donna and Diane high-five.
"Are you going with us, Ronnie?" Donna asked again.
"I still have to go to class, and the sequel to 'Grease' has new changes, and the script needs to be rewritten." Ronald shook his head. Before the new year, he may have an extravagant hope of traveling abroad.
"Then will your father Bert go to Canada with you?" Ronald asked Diane.
"Well, he'll go to the set with me."
Diane Lane is not a fool, a beautiful 15-year-old girl, of course she can't do such a silly thing as going to a foreign country alone. Burt originally accompanied Diane throughout the filming life. Although the two still quarreled often, after living together, their dissatisfaction with each other has also improved.
"Who is the hero?" Ronald asked.
"There is no male lead, the story is about a girl duo punk band. The other girl's parents are actors, daughters of Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd."
Ronald Oh, he's seen Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd movies. The pair played a married couple of members of the motorcycle gang, the Hell Knights, in Roger Coleman's 1966 film The Wild Angels.
This is Roger Coleman's highest-grossing film in years, and Ronald is impressed. The hero is still Jane Fonda's younger brother, Peter Fonda, who rides a Harley.
"Her name is Laura Dern, and she's two years younger than me."
Two years younger? Born in 1967. Isn't that what you got pregnant while filming "The Wild Gang"? Ronald smiled.
Back in his apartment, Ronald turned on the lamp, looked at the "Son of Grease" script he wrote on the table, opened the drawer, and put it at the bottom. Ronald looked at the group photo of himself and Cameron, Gale, Roger Coleman, and other famous actors on the table, lost in thought.
The big director Brian De Palma turned down Olivia Newton-John in the new film. In this way, Olivia is equivalent to withdrawing from the film circle, and will not make a cameo appearance in "Son of Grease".
She originally wanted to use the stunt of reunion with her old partner John Travolta to attract some fans. Since only one person can participate in the role, it is not good for her.
And the original male lead, disco singer Andy Gibb was recently hospitalized and announced to leave his singing career for two months.
CAA's agent Richard told himself that he was actually sent to a rehab center for compulsory treatment because of an overdose of illegal drugs.
Hollywood's fickleness can be seen in general, the biggest blockbuster all at once guarantees the cameo of the protagonist of the previous work, and the original male protagonist is a chicken-and-egg fight.
Paramount decided to take this opportunity to withdraw from filming and let the brother company Universal take over the project.
The first thing Universal did after accepting it was to identify the protagonist as Timothy Hutton, a young actor who became famous because of his "ordinary man".
Ronald met at Jane Fonda's party.
"Bell bell bell..."
Ronald picks up the receiver, Rick Nisita, one of his agents.
"Ronald, Universal has negotiated with producer Sterwood, and Sterwood would like you to come back to Los Angeles to discuss the new story structure. Universal means to start over and bring the story forward immediately after the original. , or a story from the fifties."
"It's already October, and they have to re-develop the story. Is there still time to start the project before the end of the year?"
"That's probably why Sterwood came to you, right? I asked the secretary to book the ticket for you. But this time there is no business class reimbursement."
"Okay, I'm going to school to ask for leave." Ronald muttered, the teacher of the ancient poetry course still attached great importance to sign-in, and gave a higher score to daily sign-in and question and answer. If there were too many absences, there would be trouble.
"Also, Jane Fonda came back from the location after filming the Golden Pond. She wants to talk to you."
"This has nothing to do with me." Ronald didn't really want to go.
"Go and see her, Jane is not an unreasonable person." Nisita advised him to go.
"Okay, okay," Ronald agreed. The two have set a schedule for a trip to Los Angeles next Monday.
The next day, Matt Dillon went roller skating with him, and Ronald took his cousin Donna to play with him. Diane Lane felt bored and didn't want to go. She had to wait for the winter to go to the ice rink in Central Park.
Dillon's main purpose is to date Brooke Shields. Ronald didn't say anything, he picked up Dillon and introduced Donna's identity, and then gave the two a Polaroid snapshot.
Matt Dillon signed "Dear Donna, May Your Dreams Come True" and signed his own.
This made Donna giggle. Having a cousin in the movie business, autographs for these teen idols are always one of the handy perks.
When we arrived at the roller skating rink, we were greeted by Brooke Shields and his mother Terry.
Matt Dillon was stunned. The date came with his mother, which was very different from the content of the "date" he imagined.
The reporters in the distance clicked the shutter and took a photo of the two teen idols together. Terry also brought a photographer to take pictures of her daughters Brooke and Dillon up close, and put them in a lot of couple poses.
Ronald noticed that Brooke was wearing a full set of makeup and was obviously ready for today's photo session. Unlike Dillon, who can only rely on natural red lips and white teeth.
After that, it was Ronald's turn to greet Brooke. He also took out a Polaroid camera and, as usual, took a photo of Brooke and Donna, signed autographs, etc.
Dillon over there has already reacted from the blow, and hastily rented roller skates and helped Brooke put them on. He also has the opportunity to teach Brooke ice skating. Terry couldn't say anything about this small physical contact.
Ronald also rented roller skates for Donna, and then walked on the ground and pulled Donna slowly forward. The two who live in rural Staten Island have yet to learn the skill of rollerblading.
"Ronald, don't Donna know how to rollerblaze? I'll teach her." Brooke Shields changed into her rollerblades and slipped a graceful curve forward.
"Thank you, Brooke." Donna was very happy today, the American girl idol taught her roller skating herself.
Dillon's idea of teaching Brooke also failed, and he slid over to Ronald and said, "Did you notice? The roller rink is closed today, just the few of us. Those reporters were also called by her mother, right?"
"You still don't know Brooke's mother Terry very well." Ronald laughed, "I said good luck to you."
"Hi bro. You should have told me earlier" Dillon slapped Ronald.
"I don't want to spoil you."
"Shxt" Dillon scolded, then slid to the center of the roller skating rink, and had to concentrate on skating.
