Exploiting Hollywood 1980

   Chapter 437 Good luck

   It’s a pity that the shot was interrupted because of a small problem.

   Fortunately, the long shot is just the beginning, and the previous part is not unusable, just cut a shot where the audience shouts "I love you, Ellen".

   Ronald's heart was still pounding. Intensive drum beats and a fanatical audience may really lift people's emotions.

   Ronald looked at Diane, who appeared in front of him today with a brand new attitude. The little girl who played with Donna in her New York apartment and sat beside her at the Oscars has faded into a dancing butterfly, full of charm.

  Diane, who was holding the microphone on the stage, seemed to be still immersed in the role, with a somewhat angry expression, clenched brows, and a strong stomach. With Giorgio Armani's performance costumes, it was very rock star style.

   "Shoot!" Diane waved her hand, "I was in good shape just now." She was also a little distracted by Ronald's words. I had already made up my mind to turn over the girly complex of dating a friend's brother, who knows...

   "My question, sorry. I suddenly forgot the character's name." Ronald took the initiative to apologize to director Walter Hill.

   "Hmph, I'm going to have a rest." Diane glared at Ronald when he heard this, and turned to leave.

  "Diane", Ronald stopped Diane, then looked at her and didn't know what to say for a while, "Sorry, it's my problem."

   "Your acting is so bad!" Diane blurted out, then returned to the lounge with Marlene Jahan.

   Ronald saw that Diane had no response, he let out a sigh of relief, and felt a little regretful in his heart. He turned to director Walter Hill, "How about someone else? I'm not really good at acting."

   "Find another one" Director Walter Hill turned his head to assign the task to the assistant director, and this cameo role was a trivial matter for him.

   Ronald took Richard to the back of the camera, facing the door of the auditorium. so as not to interfere with the shooting.

"Maybe in the past, maybe not now," Ronald calmed down and thought for a while, thinking that Diane might have had a good impression of him before, and he helped her a few times, such as helping her at the party at Jane Fonda's house Escape from the lying scumbag, help her escape from her mother, and avoid the embarrassment of the Oscars ceremony later.

  This is probably the feeling that every American girl has, wanting to date a friend's brother.

   When you have a chance, chat with her privately once, and you can turn this episode over. But Diane has really changed a lot, Ronald thought. When she was in Club 54 before, she was a little fat girl, but now she seems to have grown into a big beauty.

  America's white girl grows very fast, and it grows like dough after a few months of absence. Brooke Shields, for example, was a little fat the last time I saw her in the Israeli desert.

   "Hi Hi", why did you think of Bo Ji again? Ronald pulled his thoughts back.

   "There is another invitation today, a car factory, to invite you to shoot an advertisement for their latest car." Richard said to Ronald by the side.

   "I remember that my advertising agency contract was not signed in CAA, right?"

   "No way, they are a Swedish car manufacturer, so I found your contact information through our office in London."

   "Why did they find me to shoot commercials?"

   "I heard that it was your chewing gum commercial, which was broadcast in Sweden, and caught their attention. That's why more people found your name."

   "Why is chewing gum related to cars?"

   "They think your shots are clean and neat, and it fits the quality of their brand of cars."

   "What brand is it?"

   "SAAB" Richard responded.

"never heard of that."

   "Anyway, if you are interested, I can ask them to come and talk to you, but this time it will be counted as my business." Richard still has only one client, and is considered the most thoughtful among the brokers.

   "No problem." Ronald patted Richard on the shoulder.

   "Quiet, please be quiet" The assistant director began to loudly ask everyone to be quiet with the microphone again, and the next shooting is about to start.

   Ronald closed his mouth and watched the shooting on stage. Several cameras were aimed at the scene in their own design. The director gave an order, and the band started the prelude again.

   "Ow..." The audience started cheering again, and Diane ran onto the stage with great anticipation.

  " in your bed, on a Saturday night

   You are sweaty, not even hot.

   But your brain has got the message

   it's sending it out

   to every nerve and every muscle of yours”

  The lyrics of the opening song "NowhereFast" are very interesting, telling the story between a girl and a love object who has some vague feelings.

  On a hot summer afternoon, although the temperature is not high, people feel like they are exposed to the sun under high temperature. The hormones kicked into everyone's body, which involuntarily drives the human body to sweat crazily.

  The two don't know what dreams can come true and what they have to do, but the passion of boys and girls motivates them to do something.

   So the two got into the boy's father's car and pressed the accelerator hard. They wander aimlessly in the city, as if they are going somewhere, but in fact, they just want to escape from their boring past and find some meaning for their lives.

  “Godspeed

  Godspeed

  Godspeed

  Speedusaway”

  Diane's lip-synching comes to the climax of the chorus. Far away, Ronald could still feel Diane's anger that he wanted to vent, filling his entire body, as if it had turned into light radiation, radiating toward the audience in all directions, passing the heat to them. .

   "Diane is really a little genius in his acting skills." Ronald was far away, and he could still feel this heat radiation. Those in the front row, who no longer needed the assistant's command, really started to go crazy.

"Oh, I'm starting to really believe that there is a rock star named Ellen Ann in this world." Richard said in Ronald's ear, the audience's shouting was too loud to hear. clear.

   "Godspeed, Godspeed..."

   Diane was repeating the line, which Ronald knew was a very old-fashioned way of saying good luck to you. Ronald only heard Aunt Karen say it occasionally.

   "Godspeed,

  Speedusaway (Let's get out of here)”

  Diane began to shake her head and dance on the stage, and the jib camera was aimed at her and began to take close-up shots.

   "Godspeed" Ronald also said silently in his heart, wishing Diane a smooth journey in her acting career.

   "Bang!" The door behind the auditorium was pushed open, and the villain played by Willem Dafoe, wearing no shirt but a leather jacket, walked in with a few of his subordinates.

   "Cut!" Director Walter Hill called off, and this time he was satisfied that the cameras in several directions captured good pictures.

  Walter Hill looked at the DP, hoping he would give an answer to the success of the camera on the jib.

   "Dian's face is mostly blocked by that microphone, we have to do it all over again." The cameraman shook his head, no one in the crew knew how to shoot a classic musical, everyone was groping and shooting.

   "Hey..." Everyone sighed and had to do it all over again.

   Ronald went to the lounge to say goodbye to Diane, and knocked gently on the door.

   "Who?" Diane's impatient voice sounded.

   "It's me, Ronald."

  "Oh", Diane asked the assistant to open the door. She was fixing makeup and using a straw to add moisture. The headlights and the temperature made it very hard for her to perform lip-synching on stage fully armed.

   "I'm here to say goodbye. My acting skills are really not enough. The director has replaced another actor. I have to go first."

   "It's alright, let's go. Say hello to Aunt Karen for me, and Donna, she's free to come to Los Angeles during the holidays."

   "I will", Ronald wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start. Do you ask Diane directly if he has a crush on him?

  Since Diane has passed this stage, it's better not to pick on it... right?

   "Then I, go first?" Ronald asked.

   "Okay", Diane waved to Ronald, "So, Godspeed?"

   "Yeah, thanks." Ronald turned to leave.

   "I'll be filming here for a long time, will you still come to visit the class?" Diane asked again suddenly.

   "Of course, if Donna comes, I will come to see you with her."

  Diane asked the makeup artist to pause for a moment, then opened her arms and hugged Ronald.

  Ronald held Diane in his arms, and Giorgio Armani's costumes showed the advantages of Diane's figure vividly.

   Ronald couldn't help kissing Diane... on the cheek.

   Diane also kissed Ronald on the cheek.

   "Goodbye, I'm still waiting to see your new movie."
