Exploiting Hollywood 1980

   Chapter 578 Chapter 208 Script Opinion

   "I signed up for this flight school, and Paula said it was the best. After three months, I can get my private small plane driver's license."

  Tom Cruise is so fascinated by flying that he has signed up for the best flying school in Los Angeles for private jet training.

"Don't get too excited. If you want to fly a jet, you need to accumulate flight time. When the movie starts, you can get a student license at most." Ronald found Crewe at an airport outside Los Angeles. The two talked about the development of the script.

   Paula, Tom Cruise's agent, won him the right to have a say in the script. This is usually the privilege of big stars, but Cruise has a friend Ronald as the director, so he is just a name. Getting this power first will help him improve his position in the industry.

  Ronald found Cruise in the flight school who had just gotten off the plane and read him the script he had just formed.

"Your character is well developed, starting out as an F-14 pilot with the callsign 'Maverick'. You're a wingman with another pilot with the callsign 'Jaguar'. In the Caribbean against a Cuban pilot piloted The Jaguar was locked in a dogfight when the MiG-21 was on the way.

  The Lone Ranger used the attack lock to scare away the Cuban MiG 21, but when the "Jaguar" was being targeted, the pressure was too great, which induced flight vertigo and could not distinguish between the sky and the ocean. Finally you help him land on the carrier.

  The Admiral of the Fleet has two places to study at TopGun School. The Lone Ranger's radar officer wants to stay in the aircraft carrier, so the Lone Ranger and the Jaguar's radar officer "Goose" went to the flight school. "

  "Great beginning", Tom Cruise was very happy after listening to Ronald read the beginning of the script, "I like the character of this character very much, and it's a bit like me."

  "Hahaha", Ronald is very happy, the Lone Ranger does refer to some of Tom's own character traits, which helps the actor's performance.

   "I have an idea, can I give the Lone Ranger a solo appearance so that at the beginning of the movie, I can impress the audience."

   "Yes, listen to the next paragraph" Ronald began to read the script again. Lone Ranger drove a sports car to the Nevada desert where TopGun flight school is located. Speeding here on the road to school. The Highway Patrol stopped him.

  The Patrolman asked the Lone Ranger for the certificate, and the Lone Ranger gave the Navy pilot certificate. The patrolman looked at it in awe, and asked him if he knew how fast he was driving?

  Lone Ranger said, "I thought it was Mach 1.5"

   "1.5 times the speed of sound?", the traffic policeman's smile began to appear.

"Yes."

   "What plane are you flying?"

   "F14."

   "Tomcat?"

"Yes."

   "What? Did the Souvelle Union call? Are you in such a hurry?" The Highway Patrol put away the fine.

   "No, but we'll always be ready."

   Then the Highway Patrol escorted the Lone Ranger to the base.

   "At the gate of the base, the Lone Ranger met for the first time the biggest competitor at TopGun School, the pilot IceMan. Iceman smiled and said to his radar officer, patrol escort, this kid is a troublemaker."

"Ronald, I have an idea" Tom Cruise heard this, and began to offer his own opinion, "Lone Ranger's character, he should be equipped with the fastest sports car on land, preferably a red one. Ferrari."

   "Yeah, don't you just want to drive my Ferrari GTO? Let the crew transport it to Nevada, but you have to promise me, you have to take good care of it."

   "No problem! That's the fastest sports car on land."

  The two finished reading the script in the airport lounge. Tom Cruise looked at his watch and said, "I'm almost late. I have to visit Rebecca on the 'Baseball Player's Wife' crew."

  Ronald smiled, Tom was very attached to this girlfriend who was a few years older than him, and if there was a chance, he would get the two of them together.

   "You keep getting together with Rebecca, won't she bother you?"

   "You don't understand, Ronnie. We actors are often separated, just looking for opportunities to be together. And there is an intimacy scene in this movie. It's going to be shot tonight. I have to go to the studio and keep an eye on it."

   "If I were the director, I would be disgusted by you, with boyfriends and girlfriends staring at the side, how would the actors play?"

"Don't be stubborn, I don't believe it. You are not worried about Helen Slater's filming in the 'Billy King Legend' crew. I heard that there are a lot of **** scenes, so you won't go to the class?" Tom put on The flight jacket presented by the navy, got on the nanny car that Paula came to pick him up, "bye bye".

   "How could Billy King have a **** scene, I personally reviewed the script." Ronald patted the script in his hand, and then waved goodbye to Paula.

"Hey, Rick? Is there a **** scene in the Billy King legend?" The more Ronald thought about it after driving home, the more he became suspicious. The script didn't necessarily count. When he was shooting, he would also include **** scenes Part of it was downgraded in the script, and when the actual shooting is done, it depends on the state of the actresses and the scale of the shooting.

   "Why don't you go visit the class? You should be more experienced than me in this kind of question. What, do you still have feelings for Helen?"

   "Cough cough... I just think that Gerald entrusted Helen to me, and I will be responsible for the introduced script to the end."

   "Okay, I'll say hello to producer Guber and ask Richard to accompany you to Texas."

  With Richard and Bud Jr., Ronald came to Corpus Christi, Texas, to visit the "Billy King Legend" crew.

This small town on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico with a permanent population of more than 200,000 is the famous kite capital of America. Because of the strong wind speed throughout the year, many people play kite flying, paragliding, and paragliding here. surf.

  The crew is filming a location scene by a lake in the suburbs. The film's opening scene, Helen's role as Billy King, has some deliberate shots to impress the audience.

   Ronald took Bud Jr. and Richard, greeted the producer, and went to watch the filming.

At this point, Helen is still dressed up with long blonde hair. After all the first half of the filming is finished, Helen will cut the long golden hair short and turn it into a boy's head, becoming the modern Joan of Arc. Women and people at the bottom speak.

   "Action!"

   The director shouted the password and started the location shooting.

   Ronald saw the entire shooting scene from outside the cordon.

   On a large elevator, the director and the director of photography are sitting together, ready to shoot a shot from top to bottom, from far to near.

   Ronald knew at a glance that director Matthew Robbins was indeed a classmate of Lucas and Walter Murch. This kind of complex scheduling allows the audience to immediately understand the background of the story from the distant town picture, and then move to the nearby Helen to quickly enter the story.

   A few seconds of footage allows the audience to forget the troubles in life and immerse themselves in the story, worthy of being the golden generation of the University of Southern California.

  Helen plays Billy King sorting the clothes in the laundry basket. In the plot, she and her younger brother depend on each other for life, and they are responsible for housework as a sister.

   "DiDi..." There was a wooden fence beside the pool where the clothes were washed by hand, and through the fence came the sound of two motorcycle horns.

   She found the freshly collected clean clothes from the laundry basket, took off her denim vest, and said a line to the motorcycle behind the fence, "I'll be right here".

Ronald raised his hand and wanted to call "Cut!", the only reason left made him open his mouth and didn't say a word. He clearly saw that Helen Slater's back was completely naked, except for a denim vest that had just been taken off. Cover your chest.

   "Isn't it agreed that there will be no **** scenes?" Ronald was indignant, why does Joan of Arc have to undress in modern times?

   "Cut!" The director stopped, "Helen, you are great, let's do it again."

   "Okay..." Helen put a denim vest on her body, "Is my mood just right?"

   "Pfft..." A short actor with messy blond hair next to Ronald laughed.

   "Helen is always so cute, in fact, this scene doesn't need any acting skills", the short actor laughed, and took the initiative to talk to Ronald.

   "Are you the actor who played the bad guy? Hi, my name is Christian Slater."

   "Ah... oh", Ronald came back to his senses, are you Helen's relative?

"No, no... we just happen to have the same last name. I play Helen's brother Binks. Very good coincidence, I think Helen is my destined wife, and if I marry him, she doesn't even need a last name. changed."

   Ronald somehow felt a surge of anger in his chest that made him glared at Christian Slater.

   "Hey, what did you say? You still want to marry Helen?" Little Bud looked angry and went up to push Christian away.

   He had seen Helen several times when he was working at Aunt Karen's leg warmer shop, and knew that she had a relationship with Ronald.

   "Who the **** are you? What right do you have to take care of me?" Christian became angry.

   "Ronnie, why are you here?" Helen heard the movement here, turned around and saw that it was Ronald, and ran over happily.

   "And you, little Bud, long time no see, I heard you served in the Marine Corps?"

   "Okay, take a ten-minute break" The director reluctantly stopped and got down from the elevator to announce the suspension.

   "This is Christian. He has the same last name as me, Slater, isn't it a coincidence." Helen lost weight again, and the denim vest was loosely draped over her. "I always thought he was really my brother."

   "Hey, Ronald, thank you for coming to the crew" Director Matthew came over and shook hands with Ronald to thank him. He was able to become a director for the first time because Ronald gave up this opportunity.

"Do you have any opinions on the filming? Or the script? I am very open to your opinions." Matthew was under a lot of pressure from Guber during the shooting process. This time Guber specifically mentioned Rhone. De wants to come to visit and explore the class, and dare not take it lightly.

   "You are the director. I just came to visit Helen's class. Her father Gerald misses her performance very much. Let me take a look."

   "Hug, sorry..." Christian stammered and said sorry to Ronald, then walked away quickly.

"Exactly, after I finish filming, I will cut my hair short, can you accompany me?" Helen heard that Ronald came in accordance with his father's instructions, and blinked at Ronald with big eyes, as if seeing through Ronald German thoughts.

   "Well, I don't have a place to go here anyway."

  “Cut!”

  After a whole day of outdoor camera shooting, Helen went to the hair stylist and cut a boy's inch hair.

   "Does my hair look good with short hair?"

   Surprisingly, Ronald felt that the short hair also made Helen very handsome, and he looked like a handsome guy if he didn't pay attention.

   He involuntarily touched it, his hair was a little tangled.

   "Hee hee..." Helen took Ronald's arm, "Are you jealous just now? Ronnie?"

   "I...? I don't, I'm not..."

   "Don't lie to me, Gerald only called me yesterday to discuss the plot. He didn't mention you at all. If he had told you, he would have told me."

   "No, isn't there no exposed footage in your script? Why is there a naked back, even this dress..." Ronald changed the subject and pointed to Helen's dress.

   "What? Are you also fulfilling the script suggestion authority?" Helen looked at Ronald and smiled.

   "Me? How do you know I can't? I asked the director to delete all the **** scenes, and he went to Gubel if he refused."

   "No", Helen took Ronald's hand.

"You don't know how easy it is to get the role now that my first Supergirl hasn't come out yet. Can't say that to the director. Besides, Gerald has spoken to the director, I'm not going to have full frontal **** The camera is ready, don't worry."

   "Ronnie, I'm glad you can come to see me." Helen grabbed Ronald's arm tightly.
