Chapter 1563 Award Ceremony Dress

"Are you leaving now?" Christy Turlington's eyes were shining with water as she looked at Ronald affectionately.

"Honey, I'm not in New York for vacation, you see, it's Oscar season, call me if you have anything."

"Okay..." Turlington brought Ronald a coat and put it on, then smoothed out the wrinkles with both hands. The supermodel was very sensitive to how to make the fabric fit, and the pressure applied was just right, which also made Ronald feel the beauty's thoughts. He turned around and hugged Turlington, then opened the door and went to the entrance of the cafe.

"Let's go..." Ronald said to little Bud, who was standing by the car, opening the door and welcoming him in.

"Fifth Avenue?" When Bud saw Ronald nod, he smiled and closed the car door, then walked around to the driver's seat, opened the door and got in. Ronald didn't travel much, and Bud was very happy with his job. After marrying his girlfriend, he had a child and lived in an apartment not far from Ronald's house. The public school the child would attend was also far away from the poor quality schools in the black community...

Therefore, Little Bud served Ronald with the highest courtesy, trying to meet the best standards within his knowledge. The car started slowly, and Little Bud tried to drive it smoothly so that Ronald could hardly feel it starting.

Just as the car left the cafe, Christy Turlington came out of the bathroom. She looked at the three models sitting together and chatting animatedly. She did not go over to join in the fun, but just looked at the Mercedes-Benz outside the window.

To be honest, Ronald was nice to her, but every woman has some thoughts, and the look he cast out the window also contained very complicated emotions.

"Chris..." Just as she was lost in thought, Cindy Crawford actually came to the cafe. The other three models did not expect her to come.

"Cindy..." Turlington smiled.

Cindy Crawford gave her an inquiring look, and Turlington nodded slightly, which made Crawford a little discouraged. After she got the news that Ronald would come, she hurried to get there, but was still a step late. Slightly angry, she slapped Turlington below the waist. Turlington was so scared that he quickly stopped her hand, and the other three supermodels saw it and burst into laughter again.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and their smiles were very interesting, which was captured by the reporter at the scene...

……

"You're here so early? I'm so happy..."

Arriving at the Fifth Avenue apartment, Helen Slater and her child Linda were already waiting there. Seeing that they arrived earlier than expected, Helen was overjoyed.

"Yeah, there's always a lot of business to do, and I still want to see you earlier, and Linda too." Ronald kissed Linda, then said he was going to take a shower first as he was tired after a long day.

"Hmm..." Helen's personality was rather silly and cute. When Ronald came out of the shower, she had already handed the child over to the Chinese nanny who took him to another apartment next door. She was wearing a red stewardess suit and a small hat. Her blonde hair leaked out from the hat, and she looked very beautiful in the sunset.

"Oh, what are you doing?" Ronald came out and took a quick look, and was also dazzled. Helen's beauty was really impeccable.

"Does it look good?" Helen showed her familiar girlish smile.

"Of course, but it seems that there is no airline in America whose stewardesses wear red uniforms, right?"

"This is Christmas color, idiot." Helen still wanted to spend another Christmas with Ronald. As a liberal Jew in New York, she didn't care about these things.

"I'm a little thirsty..." Ronald had been working hard all day. Half an hour later, he lay in bed and didn't want to move.

"Okay, I'll get it for you..." Helen jumped off the bed, packed the red stewardess uniform along the way, and finally found a hat at the door. She quickly put it away and went out to get mineral water.

goo goo goo...

Ronald finished the bottle in one breath, and when he saw Helen smiling and putting the hat back on, he suddenly had an idea.

"Is this the role you've been eyeing in a script?"

"Hahaha, I can't hide it from you..." Helen jumped onto the bed with her hat on.

"You want to play this stewardess role? Why not an FBI agent?"

After reading the script that Helen liked, Ronald asked her while lying on the bed.

"I'm the producer of the film, so of course I have to choose the actors based on the effect of the film. In this story, the FBI is fighting against the Japanese gangs, so it would be better for a Chinese woman to be the FBI agent. I have found a suitable actor..."

As she spoke, Helen handed Ronald a few audition photos. Sure enough, the female agent was played by Chinese actress Kelly Hu. And several Japanese supporting actors were also old acquaintances of Ronald. It seemed that Helen had also done some research on the co-actors of Daydream. Choosing such actors who had worked together before would definitely be more suitable in terms of cost, and it would also reduce the running-in during the filming.

"Hey, you're really a suitable producer." Ronald touched Helen's cheek. As expected, after becoming a mother, Helen's temper has improved a little. She should also understand that her acting skills are just right for playing a stewardess, but she is not up to the task of playing an undercover female agent.

"In fact, if you watch all the scenes, you will find that the flight attendant's role is no less than that of the female agent." Helen answered with a smile. Her main role is that the male FBI agent and the flight attendant worked together to make an emergency landing of the plane and protected the witness Yuji who was on the plane. They then sneaked back to America together and finally took revenge.

"Oh..." Ronald shook his head in his heart. It seemed that he had thought too much. Helen had not changed much. Anyway, this movie called "No Way Out" was also a small production. The biggest cast of the whole movie was actually Helen Slater.

Apart from the Asian supporting actors, there is only one white male lead, a newcomer from Australia who came to Hollywood to develop his career.

Ronald took a look and didn't care. Even if he lost everything, it was just a small amount of money. It would be a good thing to give Helen something to do.

"Well, Ronnie. I'm going to the Oscars this time. Is everything okay with you?" Helen lay beside Ronald and tested cautiously.

She was very happy when she received a call from Ronald, inviting her to attend the Oscars. However, her parents' traditions made her feel that it was immoral to destroy other people's families, so she was a little worried.

"No problem, I've arranged everything. You'll be attending the awards ceremony too. I just want my loved one to be able to sit there and celebrate with me when I receive the award." Ronald didn't want to miss the greatest affirmation of his directorial career. It happened that this year was the turn of the awards ceremony at a large venue, so he invited Aunt Karen and Donna Doug to attend.

As for Helen, Ronald planned to place her on the other side of where Diane and he sat, far away. Although Helen did not have the privilege of being captured by the TV screen (this privilege belongs to the director's wife or girlfriend), it was much better than the original situation of not being able to participate.

"Well, then I'll let the leading actor of this movie be my male partner..." Helen suddenly said.

"What? Your male companion?" Ronald confirmed that he had heard correctly, then picked up a bottle of mineral water, opened it and started drinking.

"I'm also an actress. If I don't have a male companion, I'll be laughed at." Helen said aggrievedly. Anyway, this actor is a newcomer in Hollywood and not many people know him. He wants to increase his popularity. Isn't this the best of both worlds?

"Hmm..." Ronald looked at the audition photo. This Australian actor named Russell Crowe had acted in a movie with Anthony Hopkins before. He was different from the delicate boys in Hollywood. He had a rough and unpolished feeling. To be honest, his masculine charm was more like the male protagonist of old Hollywood than the popular Hollywood handsome men like Brad Pitt or Keanu Reeves.

"Anyway, I don't really want you to go to the Hollywood awards ceremony with another man." The more Ronald looked at him, the more he hated him. This guy looked like a woman killer.

"Do I have to go to the award ceremony alone? I can imagine what kind of name the gossipmongers will give me...Besides, I'm also saving some marketing costs for this movie project." Helen was unhappy, but she didn't have any good solutions.

"How about I talk to your father and ask him to be your best man? What do you think?" Ronald thought about it and decided that this was the only way.

"Oh, really? Of course I do." Helen's anger turned into joy. Ronald took the initiative to ask his father Gerald to come, which was equivalent to a formal ceremony in some ways. Helen had never had the experience of a father holding his daughter's hand to walk into the church at a wedding, and this arrangement was equivalent to helping her realize a dream.

"Then what about this Kro?" Helen was happy for a moment, then thought of her own film project.

"Don't worry, let Richard help him find a suitable female companion." Ronald hugged Helen, "You are mine..."

"Oh, what you said is so beautiful..." Helen closed her eyes and immersed in this happy moment.

"Would you like to wear a dress this time?" Ronald hugged Helen. Influenced by her mother, she liked the concept of environmental protection, so she often wore second-hand dresses when attending formal ceremonies.

"Well, I can wear it for you once." Helen also felt that this was a major event in Ronald's life, and that he would be uncomfortable if she wore a second-hand dress, so she agreed. She couldn't let Diane steal all the limelight.

"Oh, now that it's so close, won't it be hard to find the right dress?" Helen Slater suddenly shouted. Long before the Oscars, female stars will start competing for the high-end dresses of famous brands.

If your background is not strong enough and you haven't had any famous movies released recently, it is difficult to get a dress from a top brand. Each dress is very complicated to design and make. If you don't get one, you can only wear ordinary styles, which would be a great loss of face.

"It's okay, I'll find a way..."

Ronald certainly wouldn't worry about this kind of thing. He could still settle it by speaking up. The dresses from big brands have been sold out, but some designer brands can still be negotiated. If they are well-dressed, they will not be inferior to those high-end brands.

An hour later, Richard found a suitable designer for him, and her design information was also sent to the apartment.

"I've already picked out Carolina Herrera, a designer who's perfect for you. Her clothes have been worn by Jacqueline. Richard will make the arrangements."

Ronald showed Helen a dress by Carolina Herrera. The white shirt was the signature of this Venezuelan female designer. Paired with a luxurious long skirt, it gave her an intellectual temperament. She had made clothes for Jacqueline, the widow of the former president, but she had no famous Hollywood celebrity clients.

"This is so beautiful." Helen happily hugged Ronald and gave him a kiss.

……

"Okay, no problem. I'll send a special plane to pick up your family and Helen's mother."

Afterwards, Ronald went to negotiate with Gerald Slater, Helen's father. In addition to getting the TV stations under DDH to purchase a large number of PBS TV programs where Gerald worked, he also had to give them enough face.

Gerald and Helen's mother Alice Joan divorced and started their own families. This time Ronald also treated them and Helen's brothers as VIPs, staying in the best resort hotels and taking private jets.

"Hahaha, today is a very happy day." Gerrard was very satisfied with this and patted Ronald on the shoulder. He hadn't had the opportunity to do this for a long time. Being able to pat Ronald on the shoulder like he did to a penniless young man made him especially happy - he finally enjoyed the treatment of a father-in-law.

……

"Diane, when will your dress arrive?"

After flying back to Los Angeles, Ronald also started preparing for the award ceremony. They were both long-term customers of Armani, especially Diane, who had been the exclusive endorsement star of Giorgio Armani since the Streets of Rage.

"Hmph, they have another VVIP client this year. I think we are being neglected. Do you know who it is?" Diane said unhappily. In previous years, Armani was the first to serve her. After Diane's dress was ordered, it would be the turn of other female stars.

For some reason this year, Diane felt that she was neglected by Armani and was obviously unhappy.

"I don't know, could it be Steven (Spielberg)'s wife Kate Capshaw?"

Ronald was also puzzled. In order to get special treatment from a brand like Armani, there must be two conditions. First, the man must be very strong, with wealth and power ranked among the best in Hollywood. Second, the woman must have a good appearance and figure. If she is not a female star, she generally cannot wear the same effect as the model.

The wives of powerful men are usually old and ugly, or they are not beautiful. Before the development of mass media, many Hollywood models could only serve as models for the wives of these powerful men on the spot. They would go to their homes, put on clothes, and let the male owner choose a piece for his wife.

Among the people in Hollywood who might have chosen Armani at the same time as Diane, Kate Capshaw Spielberg was definitely one.

"Hello, Kate? It's Diane..." Diane was not convinced and made a phone call.

"Not her, she's wearing Valentino this year..."

Ronald had no choice but to call Giorgio Armani directly in Milan to please his wife.

"My little angel, Diane, I have already scolded them because the girlfriend of a remote studio executive neglected my little angel, which really made me feel unfortunate..."

Fortunately, the phone call was very effective. Armani did not want to offend Ronald, one of the current bigwigs in Hollywood, so he directly asked the team to serve Diane first and comfort her personally as in previous years.

"Who on earth is trying to steal my limelight?...Okay, I get it."

Diane talked on the phone for a while, then turned to look at Ronald and said, "Hmph, some damn bitches just don't know their place."

Ronald's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he had heard something and was trying to warn him?

"Who are you talking about?" Ronald asked.

"Humph, a shameless bitch who found someone who could be her father..."
