He has the vote that Tom Mount relies on.

Retired celebrities and executives began to leave with their grandchildren. What they valued more was respectable invitations and gatherings with old friends. As for movies, it was secondary. They had made too many similar movies in their lives.

Low-budget exploitation films, and this one is no exception.

However, their grandchildren enjoyed standing and watching the ending scene when the credits rose. Spicoli and Brooke Shields appeared at the end of David Letterman's talk show, which aroused their cheers.

"I want to tell my friends that the bikini photo taken in the swimming pool is so beautiful..."

"Yeah, it was so funny that Spicoli saved Brooke Shields at the end. If only I could be like him..."

Ronald noticed that his grandchildren were discussing several plot points in the movie.

The old people began to leave. Only an old lady, who had played many supporting roles in the golden age of Hollywood and later married a film company executive, came over to say goodbye to Ronald.

"To be honest, I don't like this movie. It has too many sexual implications. But you are a capable director, but you still need to watch more classic movies.

I don't understand much of the new Southern California dialect, but my granddaughter seems to really enjoy it, and the cheerleaders speak in the same grammatical way she does.

Also, good luck to you."

"If there's nothing else to say, let's start voting." Sheinberg chaired the ensuing meeting.

"I object, this movie should not be released. In the future, it is best to hold a meeting to vote before our movies are released." Robert Raimi, senior vice president, was the first to express his attitude.

Tom Mount got one vote and Remy is a very conservative guy.

"The issuance plan has been made, and if it is withdrawn now, we will lose a lot of money."

Sheinberg received the vote of vice president for distribution.

Focus on Ned Tanning.

Tanin was undecided.

If you agree, you can bet on your own vision. At that time, I also agreed to Ronald's additional budget for reshoots. The box office can be counted as my own performance.

But if this "fast-paced" film also does well at the box office, Shenberg may gain higher authority and become the most influential person within Universal Pictures. It is highly likely that Tom Mount's power will be reduced.

Then it seems that I will have to report to Xinberg in the future?

Don’t you agree? If you don’t agree to the release, you may be regarded as Mount’s accomplice afterwards.

"I heard from a retired actor. She said that many of the characters in the movie speak with Southern California valley accents, and people from other places sound impaired."

Tanin finally spoke.

"This movie is not suitable for simultaneous national release, but it has a good audience on the West Coast. We can show it for a week or two, see how it does at the box office, and if it does well, we can sell the movie to Universal Television.

If it can achieve good box office results and stay in theaters for more than four weeks, it can be sold to NBC."

…

Ronald waited outside the door for the executives who would decide the fate of his debut novel to make a decision.

"Why can't I show up at the meeting where my fate will be decided?"

Ronald, who was having random thoughts, saw Shenberg, Tom Mount and others walking out.

"It's not the best result, and it's not the worst either." Shenberg nodded to him and said.

"Let Mr. Tanin explain to you." Tanin's last-minute compromise made neither party very satisfied.

"With nationwide screenings canceled, we will replace the original schedule with Dolly Parton's film 'The Finest Chicken Room in Texas.' Your film has been moved to the first weekend of August, on the West Coast in May.
