Chapter 206
"Ronnie, Diane got a leading actress in a movie and is going to Vancouver to shoot soon."
In the evening, Ronald went to his aunt's house for dinner. At the family reunion dinner on the weekend, Donna couldn't wait to announce the good news for Diane Lane.
"Oh, congratulations!" Ronald didn't have any champagne, so he raised a Coke to congratulate Diane.
"What movie? Who directed it?"
"It's a movie about an all-girl punk band, just like the Rock and Roll High School you directed, Ronald." Donna answered again.
Diane raised an eyebrow, as if she wasn't too pleased with Donna's comparison of the low-budget exploit "High School of Rock" with her big-studio film.
"Paramount invested $600 million, and music mogul Lou Adler directed it himself. It's called 'All Washed Up'"
The name Lou Adler is very familiar, but it is not in the field of music, but in the field of movies. Ronald seems to have seen it somewhere.
By the way, isn't that name the executive producer of "The Rocky Horror Show"?It turned out that the producer didn't want to do it and wanted to switch careers to be a director.
"He is a record company owner, but he is very creative. I heard that Paramount originally wanted him to direct 'Flying Sky', but he insisted on directing this punk story. This is the field he is familiar with." Day Ann Lane's deliberately stern face could not conceal her happiness.
"Hahahaha..." Diane, who was tickled twice by Donna, finally couldn't hold back 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 clapped hands.
"Are you coming with us, Ronnie?" Donna asked again.
"I still have to go to class, and there are new changes in the sequel of 'Grease', the script needs to be rewritten." Ronald shook his head. Before the new year, traveling abroad may be a luxury for him.
"Then will your father Bert go to Canada with you?" Ronald asked Diane.
"Well, he will go to the set to join me."
Diane Lane is not a fool, a beautiful 15-year-old girl, of course she can't do such a stupid thing as going to a foreign country to film by herself.Burt originally accompanied Diane's filming life all the way.Although the two still quarrel frequently, their dissatisfaction with each other has improved since they lived together.
"Who is the leading actor?" Ronald asked.
“There’s no male lead, it’s about a two-girl punk band. The other girl’s parents are actors, the daughter of Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd.”
Ronald snorted, he had seen the movies of Bruce Dunn and Diane Ladd.The pair played a couple in Roger Corman's 1966 film The Wild Angels, members of the motorcycle gang Hellrider.
It was Roger Corman's highest-grossing film in years, and Ronald was impressed.The actor is still Jane Fonda's younger brother Peter Fonda, who rides a Harley motorcycle.
"Her name is Laura Dunne, and she is two years younger than me."
Two years younger? Born in 1967.Wasn't that conceived while filming "Wild Gang"?Ronald chuckled.
Back in his apartment, Ronald turned on the desk lamp, looked at the "Son of Grease" script written by himself on the table, opened the drawer, and put it at the bottom.Ronald looked at the group photo of himself with Cameron, Gail, Roger Coleman, and the actors who participated in the famous and famous people on the table, and fell into deep thought.
Director Brian De Palma turned down Olivia Newton-John for a new film.In this way, Olivia has withdrawn from the film industry, and she will not come to "Grease Son" as a cameo.
She had hoped to use the stunt of reuniting with her old partner John Travolta to attract some fans.Since only one person can participate in the performance, it will not do her any good.
The original leading actor, disco singer Andy Gibb, was sent to the hospital for treatment recently, announcing that he will leave his singing career for two months to recuperate.
Richard, the agent of CAA, told himself that he was actually sent to a rehab center for compulsory treatment because of an overdose of illegal drugs.
The fickleness of Hollywood can be seen in general, and the biggest hit guarantees that the protagonist of the previous film will be a guest star, and the original male protagonist will be a chicken and egg.
Paramount decided to take this opportunity to withdraw from filming and hand over the project to brother company Universal.
The first thing after Universal accepted it was to determine the protagonist as Timothy Hutton, a young actor who became famous because of "Ordinary People".
Ronald met at Jane Fonda's party.
"Ring ring ring ring..."
Ronald picked up the phone. It was Rick Nisita, one of his agents.
"Ronald, Universal has negotiated with producer Sterwood. Sterwood wants you to come to Los Angeles again to discuss a new story structure. Universal means to reinvent the wheel and advance the story to immediately after the original. , or a story from the 50s."
"It's already October, and they still have to redevelop the story. Is there still time to start the project before the end of the year?"
"Is this probably why Sterwood asked you to go? I asked the secretary to book tickets 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 attaches great importance to the check-in, and gives a relatively high score to the daily check-in and questions and answers. If there are too many absences, there will be trouble.
"Also, Jane Fonda is back from filming on Golden Pond. She wants to talk to you."
"This has nothing to do with me." Ronald didn't want to go.
"Go and meet her, Jane is not an unreasonable person." Nisita advised him to go.
"Okay, okay." Ronald agreed.The two set a schedule to go to Los Angeles next Monday.
The next day, Matt Dillon went roller skating with him, and Ronald took his cousin Donna to play.Diane Lane thought it was boring 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, and introduced Donna's identity after picking up Dillon, and then gave the two of them a Polaroid snapshot.
Matt Dillon signed "To Dear Donna, May Your Dreams Come True" before signing his own.
This made Donna giggle non-stop.Having a cousin in the movie business, these teen idols' autographs are always one of the handy perks.
When I arrived at the roller skating rink, Brooke Shields and her mother Terry came to meet her.
Matt Dillon was dumbfounded. 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 teenage idols together.Terry also brought a photographer with him to take photos of his daughters Brooke and Dillon up close, and asked the two to pose as a couple.
Ronald noticed that Brooke was in full makeup, obviously getting ready for today's photo session.Unlike Dillon, who can only rely on his natural red lips and white teeth.
Afterwards, it was Ronald's turn to greet Brooke. He also took out his Polaroid camera, and as usual, he took a group photo of Brooke and Donna, signed autographs and other procedures.
Over there, Dillon had already recovered from the blow, and hurriedly rented roller skates to help Brooke put them on.He also has the opportunity to teach Brooke to skate.Terry couldn't say anything about such a small physical contact.
Ronald also rented roller skates for Donna, and then walked on the ground and pulled Donna forward slowly.The two, who live in the country on Staten Island, don't yet know the art of roller skating.
"Ronald, can't Donna know how to rollerblade? Let me teach her." Brooke Shields changed her roller skates, slid out a beautiful curve and said.
"Thank you, Brooke." Donna was very happy today. The American girl idol personally taught her roller skating.
Dillon's idea of teaching Brooke also fell through, and he slid over and said to Ronald, "Have you noticed? Today's roller skating rink is closed to the public, and there are only a few of us. Those reporters were also called by her mother, right?"
"You don't know Brooke's mother Terry very well." Ronald laughed. "I said good luck to you."
"Hey bro. You should have told me sooner" Dillon patted Ronald.
"I don't want to spoil your fun."
"Shxt" Dillon cursed, and then skating to the center of the roller skating rink, he could only concentrate on skating.
