Attorney Lindsay Dole applied to the court for a temporary injunction (tro). Since the temporary injunction does not require a court hearing, it can be issued as long as the applicant has sufficient evidence. The police investigation records after receiving Pfeiffer, and the district attorney's confession record of his usual conversation with Pfeiffer, became decisive evidence.
The tro prohibits the two scammers from approaching Pfeiffer. It is valid for 14 days, and you can apply for an extension after it expires. It was enough for Pfeiffer's agent to return to New York from Hollywood and help her solve the problem once and for all. By then, this would no longer be a thing for Ronald to consider.
However, the Manhattan Police Department did not find any trace of the two of them. They may have fled America and went to Central and South America to continue deceiving people.
The casting of "Endless Love" is also becoming increasingly clear. Michelle Pfeiffer listened to the advice of her agent Limato and gave up the competition for the heroine. Instead, she was content to get a supporting role of the heroine's classmate. Tom Cruise is also confirmed to play Billy, a character who has a small role but plays a key role in promoting the drama.
"Blue Lagoon" premiered to terrible reviews but did surprisingly well at the box office. Guber lost patience with Brooke Shields' mother's increasingly tough negotiating attitude and began a third round of auditions for the leading role. Ronald heard the news that the girl named Meg Ryan had a lot of hope.
Ronald did not audition anymore and devoted his time mainly to final exams and script writing. His agent Richard gave him a lot of feedback. This Vietnam War-themed script was hardly a free creation, but customized by CAA according to the trend of Hollywood.
The people of America still have a lot of psychological trauma from this war with heavy casualties. The weekly draft lottery had a generation of middle-class parents on tenterhooks, fearing that their college-age sons would be drafted and sent to Vietnam.
Other parents are afraid that the postman will come to their door every week and deliver a death notice. Every week, TV stations show footage of the bodies of the fallen being carried off planes wrapped in bags. It can be said that the Vietnam War is still a nightmare for American families.
As a result, Hollywood studios were careful to avoid direct depictions of the brutality of the Vietnam battlefield. Many so-called Vietnam War movies actually describe the beauty of life before the war, the trauma of veterans after the war, or write a fantasy story with the background of the Vietnam War.
This is also an unspoken rule in Hollywood. If the Vietnam War script is not written in this way, no one will buy it. Even if you find foreign funds, or pay for it yourself, to make a movie about the defeat of the American army in Vietnam, it will not be released in theaters.
Maybe it will take a few years to pass, when the new generation of movie audiences no longer have this kind of memory, before a movie that reflects the Vietnam War in a positive light will be released.
Ronald is actually happier with such a script. The absence of war scenes means that the budget is small. If it focuses on post-war emotional scenes, it is possible to invite big-name stars to star in it, so the probability of his script being filmed is also higher.
Agent Richard made many long-distance calls and the two communicated many times. Ronald summarized the feedback given to him by CAA senior management and concluded that the Vietnam War was about highlighting three elements.
The feelings of first comrades or lovers. The Second Vietnam War destroyed human nature. Third, it would be better to have some controversial plots about the Vietnam War.
Ronald thought for a long time and suddenly realized, isn't this just copying the formula of the movie "Homecoming" that won the Oscar for Best Actor and Actor last year?
There are love triangles, disabled veterans of the Vietnam War, and military wives having affairs with old lovers. The routine of the emotional CAA executives is to copy award-winning movies.
However, there must be a way to copy, and the three plots of Rong Gui must not be used again. Ronald decided to delve deeper into the veteran group and look for materials related to the three elements.
On this day, Ronald came to the dance supply store again, where many widows of Vietnam War veterans would come to hand over the leg warmers they had made and drink some coffee and chat. The rtkd dance supplies store brings not only economic benefits to these veterans’ wives, but also a social occasion.
Ronald interacted with them more and still learned some unknown inside stories about the Vietnam War. For example, because the military conscription system is fair on the surface, many wealthy people actually send their children to study abroad to avoid military service, and a large amount of military service is borne by the sons of poor families.
A veteran's wife also told some secrets that her husband had told. A few years after the Vietnam War started, recruitment became increasingly troublesome. In order to make up the numbers, McNamara, a "genius" Secretary of the Department of Defense, actually used his brains to target the mentally retarded people whose IQs were below the passing level.
McNamara developed a plan to recruit tens of thousands of mentally handicapped people into the army every year. He himself has never been on the battlefield, and he fancifully believes that soldiers only need to obey orders and do not need a high IQ.
As a result, these soldiers, called "McNamara's Idiots", were not suitable for the battlefield at all, and could not even master the basics of shooting and throwing grenades. The troops also had to allocate already tense manpower to look after them and not accidentally injure their own people.
The casualty rate of these mentally retarded soldiers on the battlefield is very high, several times that of ordinary soldiers. Many veterans' wives know that their husbands have talked about having mentally retarded comrades, but they do not know that this is a planned act by the American government.
Ronald thought the plot was very good. It was controversial, anti-war, and criticized the American government. It would definitely be welcomed by Hollywood.
He went to several libraries in New York to look for relevant information. But nothing was found. It seems that the federal government also knows that this kind of scandal is bad, censors news reports, and the original data has not yet been declassified.
So Ronald's plan to uncover the scandal fails, and he instead focuses the plot on individual phenomena.
A mentally retarded person serving in a military camp was ostracized by everyone except a platoon leader who came from a military family that had been in the military for generations. He took pity on him and often took care of him during normal training and battles.
But the mentally retarded soldier still held back the whole company in the battle, and he was eventually killed in the biggest battle in the movie...
After retiring, the platoon leader found the family of a mentally retarded soldier who died in Vietnam and helped take care of his parents and younger siblings. The family of the mentally retarded soldier was very grateful to him and persuaded him that the death of his son was not his fault and hoped that he could take care of him with him. Let’s start a new life again.
Until one day, the younger brother of a mentally retarded soldier came to play with the platoon leader. In the platoon leader's diary, he discovered the truth about his brother's death...
"So what is your truth?" Diane Lane found the outline of the script written by Ronald at Aunt Karen's house. She was very curious, so she asked Ronald directly.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe he killed the sneak attack enemy and saved the entire company; maybe he threw grenades randomly, killed his comrades, and was shot dead by the platoon leader."
Ronald shrugged and replied.
Diane Lane often comes to see her cousin Donna for tutoring in math and science so that she can enter high school and complete the high school course to get a diploma. In fact, there are also some thoughts of escaping from his father Bert.
In particular, the westerns she acted in were not satisfactory at the box office, and there were no good reviews from film critics. The number and quality of scripts sent to her recently have been plummeting.
"What? You haven't thought about it yet?" Diane was surprised. "Isn't it true that when writing a script, you first think about the story and then write it out?"
"I don't know how other people write. I just follow a certain framework, decide the general direction of the plot, and then fill in the details. As for the plot, anyway, I have to revise it many times based on feedback before finalizing it."
Ronald has met Diane several times recently at his aunt's house. Donna's tutoring has turned out well, and Bert is reassured and even encourages his daughter to come over. Being friends with girls of the same age and with high IQs is actually good for his daughter's acting career.
"Okay, when you finish writing, you must show it to me first. By the way, why doesn't your script have a name?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I need to find a name that is resounding. No one knows me in Hollywood, so the name of the script is the only tool to attract the interest of producers. I have to wait until I have a script that is made into a blockbuster movie." Name the script whatever you want."
Diane Lane's interest quickly moved away from the script, "Why doesn't Michelle come with you?"
"She is reading the script of Endless Love and heard that filming will start next month. She wants to be more prepared."
Diane Lane has been in the entertainment industry since she was a child, and she knows that actresses generally care very much about whether the scenes they appear on are beautiful. With Ronald's help, Michelle Pfeiffer should be guaranteed to appear on camera.
"With you as the director's assistant, I will definitely give her a few frontal shots, huh."
Ronald laughed. Directors Zeffirelli and Michel shared the same agent, so he actually had no need for his input.
But before that, Ronald took some photos of Michelle and drew some storyboards showing Michelle's scenes. Zeffirelli accidentally saw it and greatly appreciated it, and invited Ronald to be his crew member. assistant.
Ronald estimated the shooting time, which was basically within the time range of his summer vacation, and he didn't want to be too far away from Pfeiffer, so he agreed.
"Ronald, do you think the rules my father set for me are reasonable? I actually regret not taking on 'Blue Coral.'" Diane was quite jealous that Pfeiffer could have several front-facing scenes for a supporting role.
"I can't say for sure. Bert is an insider. He should know best what is the development path suitable for you."
"But his ideas were from decades ago. Find a big-name director and try to play the leading role." Diane Lane complained, "But now big-name directors rarely direct youth movies. I am not playing a daughter. Even if I play the younger sister, my role is always very small."
"It's hard to get into a movie with a lot of scenes, but the critics haven't said anything good about it."
"Film critics only evaluate after the fact. In fact, it has nothing to do with the artistic level of the creator." Ronald advised.
"Humph, your fame has been praised by film critics, of course you said so." Diane Lane leaned back on the sofa, raised one leg and hung it on the armrest, and began to concentrate on drinking drinks and watching TV.
Ronald Xiaoxiao, his old acquaintance, two film critics from the Chicago Tribune and the Sun, Bald Man and Glasses, their film review TV show has been syndicated nationwide by PBS since last month.
In this way, each new program can be seen by audiences across the country, and they have become the most popular film critic duo.
They both spoke highly of "Famous" and gave it 3.5 stars out of four. Ronald felt that the film's failures, such as incomplete narrative, revealing too many dark sides, and too many foul language that it was rated R, turned out to be great advantages in the mouth of Spectacled Albert.
However, Bald Sisko's views are somewhat similar to Ronald's. The songs are good and the dances are good, so the teenage audience likes him.
Their vigorous promotion did not significantly improve the film's box office. After the large-scale release, the box office of the single theater quickly fell below the average line, and it will soon be closed by theaters.
However, the two's earlier film review programs were also broadcast by PBS. The audience's response to the episode where they reviewed "Rock of Ages" seemed to be good, and the box office of the midnight show was even higher. Roger Corman also played I called to congratulate, and Ronald’s second dividend was just around the corner.
