Exploiting Hollywood 1980

   Chapter 633 Different Fate

   "I failed, Brother Ronnie, can you let me stay for a few days?"

   "Come anytime, of course. I can accompany you except for the acting training class. But why didn't Lucas choose you? Didn't he see you as a rock star in 'Street of Fire'?"

   "I don't want to talk, we'll talk later." Diane reported his flight number.

  Ronald picks up the sunglasses-wearing Diane Lane, who was cast down by the director from her second-round audition for George Lucas in San Francisco. Diane, who was wearing a white shirt, seemed to be in a good mood, but the red and swollen eyes under the sunglasses betrayed her inner pain.

   "Why didn't you ask me why I failed? Who did I lose to?" Diane returned to Ronald's house and regained some energy by eating some cookies that his aunt baked for Ronald before he left.

   "When you want to say something, you can say it yourself." Ronald stroked Diane's hair, and the little girl was hit hard.

   "Hey, I don't know how to sing. Director Lucas asked me if I used a stand-in in 'Street of Fire', and then asked me to sing a segment by myself..."

   Ronald laughed dumbly. He remembered the ending scene of Diane's own film "The Magic Stain Band", which was really the level of the lead singer of an amateur punk band.

  Diane was reclining on the sofa, looking like there was no sitting figure, but it was still very comfortable to lie in Brother Ronnie's arms.

"Well..." She took a bite of the biscuit, raised one eyebrow, winked at Ronald, "I sing like a cat meowing, but Leigh Thompson sings at a semi-professional level. Is it possible to be a singer, Do you have to be able to sing?"

   "It's a philosophical question." Ronald increased his stroking of Diane's hair. Some directors don't mind the use of lip-synching, but some directors take the actor's singing more seriously in order to get a real performance.

For example, when Sissy Spacek, the star of the movie "The Coal Miner's Daughter" two years ago, played country singer Lolita Lynn, she sang by herself and released a record that made it into the country music chart The top 20 on the list also won the Oscar for this film. If she hadn't sung by herself, she would not have been qualified for the selection of actresses.

  For example, Jerry Zach, the director of "There is a Wicked Man", also tends to use actors who can sing to play the rich daughter in the play, a singer who gave up halfway.

   "Hey, I'm done, and now I have to go back to selling healthy food." Diane was very discouraged after her first big-budget audition failed after striking out.

   "Don't say that, your talent is very good, I have a suitable project, and I will find you to audition." Ronald took an acting class himself, only to think that Diane's acting talent is quite good.

   In 'Love at Sunset Bridge', the acting skills at the age of fourteen are very natural and refined. At the time, Lawrence Oliver praised Diane Jr. as a new generation of Grace Kelly, not entirely exaggerated.

"You don't have my share in your new film", Diane pouted, "There is a villain in the house" asked Helen Slater to play the second female lead, and also asked Madonna to play the female lead. She has no suitable role. .

   "Hey, I can't blame you. I chose to concentrate on preparing Lucas' new movie. I'll be a health food salesman in the future, so you should buy more."

"Don't put all your money into it. By the way, the advertisers in Dongying will also ask you to shoot an ad for Miss Buddha this year. They are very satisfied with the effect of your endorsement ad last year. You wait for your chance in Hollywood. , I'm here to help you find one or two mid-production movies, which will be up soon."

   "You said it!" Diane was happy again, "I'll call to remind you when the time comes."

   The next day, Ronald and Diane came to the audition site for "There's a Husband in the House", Madonna was surrounded by a large group of assistants, wearing sunglasses. Ronald stepped forward to hug her and say hello.

   "Madonna, this is Diane Lane." Ronald introduced that Madonna and Diane, who were brewing emotions outside the audition room, knew each other.

  Dian pestered himself to go to the audition and preparations for "The Wicked Man". Ronald knew that the little girl didn't want to give up her acting career, so he brought her to meet director Jerry Zucker.

   On the other hand, Ronald also helped Zach contact Madonna, and came here to audition for the heroine of "There is a Bad Man", a rich and evil girl who was kidnapped.

   "Remember? I went to the audition for 'Famous Around the World' many years ago, and it was you who told me outside the audition room." Madonna touched Ronald's face and fell into memory.

   "Yeah, this time you only need to act in your true colors. Director Zach personally spoke and asked you to audition."

  The world has changed, and now Madonna is already a rising superstar. As long as she participates in movies, there are enough topics to be reported by the media for free. So director Zach said that as long as the appearance is suitable, acting can be slowly adjusted.

   "Oh..." Diane felt as if Madonna and Ronald also had a "history".

   "Don't guess, little girl," Madonna saw Diane next to Ronald, "I'm in an exclusive relationship now, and I won't come to rob your good brother."

   "Hey..." Diane stuck out her tongue, not expecting Madonna to be so straightforward.

   "Is it Sean?" Ronald had heard about her affair with Sean Penn several times, and the gossip pages were full of news about the two of them.

"Yes," Madonna showed a rare shyness on her face, "I think I have found the love of my life, and we both are in perfect harmony in every way. We will have our wedding in Los Angeles in mid-August, and I will send you a message when the time comes. invitation."

   "Oh..." Ronald was really surprised. The two met when they were filming the MV for "Material Girl". It's been less than a year, and they're getting married, and the woman who fell in love at first sight was Madonna!

   "Good luck, Ronald, let's go", Madonna gave an order, and the makeup artist, hair stylist, assistant, manager, etc. around her surrounded her and entered the audition room.

   "Well... so majestic." Diane looked at Madonna's formation and was envious.

"Yeah", Ronald didn't expect that Madonna's new album could become such a hit. With the blessing of several MVs, and Madonna herself very good at using the media, her high-profile love affair with Sean Penn was frequent. appear in the headlines. America's young girls, don't dress up as Madonna, as out of date.

  In this way, it is even more obvious that Madonna really loves Sean Penn. A darling who is chased by the media and is about to ascend. An actor who is just a little famous in the industry, the two can be said to be a combination of strong women and weak men to some extent.

"Hey, can you persuade her again? Ronald. Madonna is very suitable for this role. She is a bitch." Jerry Zucker came out with Rhona after sending Madonna away. De whispered.

   Madonna turned down the role after auditioning. Ronald was also a little surprised, and Zach called it a pity.

   "No way, I asked her and she wouldn't be ugly."

"What's this? Didn't you say that her real dream was to be an actress, not a singer?" Jerry Zucker still wanted to persuade Ronald to persuade him. A five million marketing budget.

   "I'm not going, Jerry. She's getting married in two months. What girl would put on weight and look ugly before her wedding?"

  "Oh, my God", Jerry Zucker made an exaggerated gesture of passing out, "Is there anyone who would give up a movie heroine just to look good?"

   "Hahaha, don't you know that her new song, 'Crazy for you', is now number one on the charts?" Now America, the top singer's income, has far surpassed that of the same movie star.

   "Plan B, Plan B," Jerry Zucker said aloud, and went to discuss it with his partner.

   After a few days, Diane gradually recovered from the blow. She was going back to New York, and the two spent the last night in the apartment.

   "You're still **** with a beard."

   "I'm still **** with a beard."

   Diane's father, Bert, is a famous former acting coach in New York. Diane is of course no stranger to Messner skills. I practiced a few times with Ronald.

   "I've never understood why Messner wanted us to repeat, but it seems that my ability to capture actors' emotions has really grown." Ronald asked Diane for advice.

   "Hey, it's all easy. You know Stanislavsky?"

   "Yes, I know, the founder of Experiential."

   "The so-called experience school (The System) is to turn yourself into that character, so that your emotions and reactions will not be crafted, just like the reactions of real people when they encounter real things."

   "Well, yes", Ronald still doesn't quite understand what this has to do with Messner's technique.

"I ask you..." Diane sat on Ronald's lap, wrapping his legs around him and wrapping his arms around Ronald's neck, "You think, in our normal lives, our attention is on ourselves, Or on someone else?"

   "On others." Although Ronald clearly felt the change in his body, his attention at this moment was all on the lovely Diane.

"That's right, you have to act naturally and realistically, and your attention must be on the opponent, so that his every move will affect your natural reaction. And your natural reaction will in turn affect the opponent. The natural reaction of , and finally reached the result that one plus one is greater than two..."

"Ah..." Ronald suddenly realized that it turned out that Meissner did not come up and instilled them with theory, but started with the simplest observation and repeated practice, encouraging students to focus on the outside world and their opponents. This is the master method.

   "Attention, focus." Diane hit Ronald a few times in dissatisfaction, wasn't it sweet when we kissed just now?

   "Oh, yes. One plus one is greater than two."

  Ronald lowered his head and focused his attention on Diane. Various physical and demeanor responses were captured, and with deliberate feedback, the two quickly reached an unprecedented level.

   "As expected of Messner, the tuition is really worth it."
