Chapter 157 The moment of truth(1/2)

Soon, Ronald knew the problem.

On the evening news, all major TV stations reported that at Dukakis’ campaign headquarters, a black woman, deputy campaign director Donna Brazier (the campaign department responsible for communicating with voters on-site to solicit votes), suddenly appeared in front of a large group of people.

A huge scandal was revealed in front of TV and newspaper reporters.

This Donna Brazier blatantly exposed the extramarital affair between a hypocritical white politician and his long-term secretary, Jennifer Fitzgerald. She did so with a vitriolic tone.

"George needs to come clean and the people have every right to know whether Barbara will share a bed with her husband in the White House."

This is like poking a hornet's nest. In the history of America, there are countless candidates for the leadership, and even the leaders, who have had extramarital affairs with women from all walks of life. However, the media has acquiesced in an unspoken rule that the commander-in-chief must also be an American morally.

It is enough for the political circles and the press to know about these things, but they must never be reported to the general public.

The revelation of this rumor has dealt a huge blow to George Sr.'s campaign. The previous campaign advertisements that Ronald helped create featured him as a model husband and the most reliable candidate among the candidates. The most recent advertisement features Jeb.

His wife said that he was the best father-in-law and grandfather.

In addition, Barbara had really fought with this secretary, Jennifer Fitzgerald, for a long time. Even though she gave her several ultimatums, she still could not drive her away from her husband. In the end, it was because George Sr. wanted to run for president.

, and then sent this time bomb away.

Unexpectedly, this time bomb finally exploded.

The intermediary that George Sr. entrusted to negotiate was Ted Kennedy, the famous senior senator from Massachusetts and the younger brother of Commander-in-Chief Kennedy. He and George Sr. were old acquaintances and had cooperated in nuclear disarmament negotiations with the Soviet Union.

They both come from political families. On the other hand, he is very familiar with Massachusetts Governor Dukakis.

The news that Ted returned from negotiations is also shocking. Dukakis himself did not know about this. Such an attack on white men does him no good. He has always liked to associate with women in the entertainment industry.

, and don’t want to start a mud wrestling match on this topic.

"This bastard Jesse Jackson is doing this!"

Dukakis launched an internal investigation and quickly came to a conclusion.

The Donkey Party is more organized than the Elephant Party. After Dukakis was nominated at the national convention, many of the campaign managers who had participated in the primaries and contributed to other candidates gathered at Dukakis

Under Si, work for him.

And this Donna Brazier, who acted privately without reporting to the campaign headquarters, was a black man working for Jesse Jackson, a pastor, politician, and leader of the black equal rights movement.

I'm afraid that this fat black female manager of the land promotion was not entirely for Dukakis's candidacy, but to open up a gap for black politicians so that in the next election, Jesse Jackson would be among the non-black voters.

obtain better support.

Nowadays, under the halo of white male politicians, it is not easy for a black man to rise to power. Perhaps Donna Brazier is not aiming for short-term victory or defeat, but has a long-term vision.

"Damn it, you fucked me, didn't you?"

Michael Dukakis was also very angry. He was obviously attacked from three sides by his opponents and had a moral advantage. Being manipulated by this fat black girl made him seem to be in the wrong. How could this happen?

"Immediately issue a statement, refute rumors, deny, expel..."

Dukakis is very excited. Now he has a huge advantage in the election. Although the opponent is fiercely attacking his plan to protect the environment and felons go home for the weekend, there are still signs of an increase in his support in major swing states.

Voters on both coasts of the North believed that the Dixie slur was a slur that exposed their intellectual shortcomings.

But this kind of counterattack like lying on the ground and rolling around lowered one's own level.

"We will hold a press conference tomorrow and let him ferment it tonight. In addition, you cannot fire Donna Brazier immediately. This matter must be handled in a low-key manner."

Dukakis' campaign advisers expressed mild disapproval. If Donna Brazier was fired immediately, the racial element would become too obvious.



"I heard that Dukakis' spokesman denied George Sr.'s scandal." A woman pushing a clothing cart was chatting with the makeup artist next to her.

In a high-end apartment on New York's Upper West Side, the staff of "When Harry Met Sally" were also discussing the sudden scandal in private.

"Who knows? It doesn't surprise me that these people have lovers." The makeup artist is also a woman, and she doesn't like the hypocritical and aloof look of old George.

"Ahem...when can we get it done?" Ronald was dissatisfied with everyone focusing on gossip, and the make-up and costumes on the scene took a long time.

"Director, it takes a lot of time to make tears. You don't want to have the effect of a B-level movie, right?"

"Okay, hurry up..." Ronald didn't blame these professionals too much. They are all the top teams in Hollywood. Today is Meg Ryan's crying scene. She has to show her crying naturally and also

It depends on these experienced female teams.

"Director, should I use this or this for the stickers on the refrigerator?" The prop came over to ask Ronald for his opinion.

"Well, this one is more elegant and fits Sally's personality." Ronald thought for a moment and chose a wood-colored sticker with a week's schedule on it.

Sally is a reporter for a major newspaper. With this status, she also lives in the Upper West Side, the best place in Manhattan, New York. Although she cannot afford to buy a house, the reporter's social connections are very good. She got a high-end apartment with rent control. Sally, a senior reporter,

Li is not a problem.

The decoration here is of very good quality. Ronald has to consider the integrity of the character.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Do Kleenex wipes need to be placed on the table?"

"Well..." Ronald took a few steps back and gestured with the viewfinder a few times. "It's still too much of an obstacle in the camera. I'll ask Meg to mention it in the lines. You put it on the bedside table in the bedroom.

Bar."

The Kleenex paper towels are a product placement found by Daydream's Michelle Cannold. They need to be given a second of footage. But putting a paper towel in the entrance hall of the living room is not common sense, and the camera is very

After much consideration, I decided to let Meg Ryan mention the brand name and then give her another shot in the sex scene. It makes sense to put tissues on the bedside table.

"Ronald," Meg Ryan walked out in her white pajamas and socks.

"Meg," Ronald nodded to her. Today is a crying scene, which requires a coherent emotional outburst. Meg Ryan has been preparing emotionally before, and coming out now means that she is ready.

Billy Crystal and all the staff immediately stopped talking, and everyone moved away, carefully making way for Meg Ryan. This scene required her outburst to be contained, and not to disturb the emotions that had been brewing for so long.

Harry and Sally have been friends for several months. Neither of them has recovered from their emotional pain. In the previous scene, Harry and Sally went to a wedding shop to find wedding gifts for Mary and Jess.

In the store, Harry met his ex-wife Helen. She and her current tax accountant were very sweet. This situation made Harry collapse. He had always thought that he would be unhappy if Helen left him.

What I saw on my ex-wife's face was a sweet and satisfied smile.

Harry insisted that there was something wrong with his ex-wife and was just pretending that everything was going well in front of him. This wishful thinking made him lose his temper at the new home of his friends Jess and Mary. In the end, Sally came to comfort her.

And Sally also has her own fate, which is her ex-boyfriend Joe, whom she has been with for more than five years and broke up with him at the beginning of the year.

Although Joe had broken up with her, Sally, who was more traditional at heart and more romantic, broke down and cried bitterly at home after receiving a call from Joe.

In just a few months, Joe decided to marry a newly graduated legal assistant at a law firm. This made Sally very sad. She had no one to talk to except Harry.

After receiving Sally's call for help, Harry immediately came to Sally's house, lending a shoulder to his good friend and being a good listener.

When he saw Meg Ryan making a "I'm fine" expression and nodding to herself to send a secret signal, Ronald didn't shout "Action" loudly, but used his eyes to signal the recording team and camera team to start the camera immediately.

"Click", the white apartment door opened, Meg Ryan tried to squeeze out a smile to welcome Harry who came over to comfort her, "Come in... woo..."

Being polite in such a sad situation is very consistent with Sally's role as America's ideal "sweetheart". Meg Ryan doesn't know if her personality is similar to the character, or if she is emotionally prepared.

Ronald was very satisfied with the performance.

"Sorry for calling you so late... ugh...", Meg Ryan's performance of not forgetting to be polite in extreme sadness was very successful in the following scenes.

"Ugh... I want Kleenex." After being polite, Sally started to feel sad again when she saw Harry. She balled up a ball of used tissues, threw them to the side, and ran into the bedroom.

Get a new tissue. Don't burst into tears when you're sad. It's not good for others to see.

"He called me at first and asked me about my situation as usual. Then he took a big case, blah blah..."

Billy Crystal was sitting on the bed. He saw the Kleenex tissue box under the quilt, picked it up, held it up, and handed it to Sally so that she could take it. It seemed that Sally had been crying on the bed before he came.

Snap, Meg Ryan quickly took out a Kleenex tissue, wiped her eyes, wiped her nose, and threw it aside.

"As I listened to the phone call, I said to myself, I don't miss him anymore, and I have no interest in hearing what he said." Meg Ryan turned her back to the camera and walked to the TV, crying on her back.

He was twitching one after another, and his whole body seemed to be arched.

Ronald cheered from behind the camera. When people are very sad, they often don’t like to face anyone, even if they are good friends who come to listen to you. And when people cry very sad, they don’t like to face anyone.

If you are affected by the breath, you will become rickets like this.

Ronald looked over from behind the camera. When Meg Ryan turned around, her whole back shrank, as if she was hunched over.

"Then, he said he was getting married, and they had just met! She worked in his law firm as an assistant! Her name was Kimberly..."

Billy Crystal handed over the tissue.

Meg Ryan snapped another one, wiped it, and dropped it on the floor.

"He just met her, she should be a transitional character, she shouldn't be that person!" Meg Ryan's right hand hit her left hand hard to emphasize.

There was another tissue, which Sally took to wipe her tears and then threw it on the ground.

This performance is very good. It is a rare thing. It expresses the mentality of a woman who has not waited for her boyfriend to propose to her. Ronald feels very lucky. The right place and the right people came together at the right time. The photo is very contagious.

lens.

It’s just that... the lens for Kleenex is a little too long, several times longer than the time agreed in the contract. I should pay more...

Ronald expelled these boring thoughts from his mind. This long shot is best done in one go. Editing afterwards will inevitably greatly reduce the appeal.

Sally, played by Meg Ryan, had consumed too much emotion with her previous accusations. She was tired of crying, so she walked to the bed and sat next to Harry.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I have always wanted to convince...tell myself that Joe doesn't want to get married...ugh..." Meg Ryan's mood was somewhat relieved when she spoke, which was normal.

The same is true in life. After venting and crying, after reaching a certain point, you can start to speak rationally.
