Exploiting Hollywood 1980

  Chapter 729 Thanks from Kim Cattrall

  Michael Gottlieb is the director of "Spirit", his first directing work. Received the attention of Fox executive producer Joseph Farrow.

   The so-called executive producers refer to the high-level executives of the studio, so unlike ordinary producers, their names have an executive prefix in front of them. With this prefix, it is the executive class of the company.

  The executive producer doesn't care about the specifics, but he can decide all the details of the filming from casting to framing. It's their credit for making it good, but they don't take much responsibility if it's bad.

  The producer is Hollywood's new hot director Ronald Lee. He didn't come to the scene very often, and most things were communicated by his agent Nisita.

   Now it has become a common practice for agents to intervene in production affairs. Many stars have various requirements, and their interests are best represented by their producers. Moreover, it is CAA, a brokerage firm known for inserting people into the crew.

  Joseph Farrow took the male lead, Ronald Lee took the female lead. The rest of Michael Gottlieb has to find some connections for himself.

  The supporting actress, the one who played the male lead's ex-girlfriend, he gave Carol Davis, a black mixed-race actress, who he knew well.

  The supporting actor, an eccentric boss who is always going to oppose the hero, gave it to James Spader, who was stuffed in by an unknown executive.

   After the casting of the cutscenes, today is the first day for all the main actors to do the script reading.

   "Ronald is here!"

  An assistant hurried in and greeted everyone.

  Kim Cattrall wanted to stand up and greet him on a conditioned reflex, but he thought of the main point explained by his agent, never being too close to Ronald on the set, and sat back in his chair to watch everyone move.

  James Spader stood up first and went to greet Ronald.

   "Hello, Ronald. We haven't seen you in a while."

   "Ah, James, yeah. Long time no see." Ronald recognized the actor, who played Brooke Shields' brother in "Endless Love" starring Brooke Shields and Tom Cruise's debut. Since then, I have been wasted on supporting roles. The most recent role is John Hughes' "Pink Lady", playing a villain rich second generation. Against Andrew McCarthy and Molly Ringwald's love affair.

   This is the second time for the two of them to play lead and supporting roles in a movie in a short period of time.

   and Ronald took the lead to shake hands, then sat down, and Spader looked at the actors smugly. Ronald is unquestionably the top two on this movie's power list. Being able to act like he is familiar with him, others won't bully him too much and rob him of his own play.

   "Ronald, Jim Cameron asked me to say hello to you."

  The supporting actress Carol Davis, came up and hugged Ronald.

   "Where is he now?"

   "Also promoting Alien 2 nationwide. Second only to your two films at the box office."

   This supporting actress is also very scheming. She met Cameron because she played a major female role in "Piranha 2", in which Cameron was cheated and had a fever.

   She and Cameron are only limited to knowing each other, so speaking out in public is just to shock other people not to steal the show. Anyway, Ronald just heard it, it is impossible to really confirm with Cameron whether he has contacted him.

   "Hi, Andrew."

  The actor Andrew McCarthy was treated better, and Ronald greeted him first.

   As a member of the BratPack, he is now synonymous with fashion in the minds of teenagers across the United States.

  McCarthy mainly lives in New York, and doesn't usually like clubbing, girls, etc. like Emilio Estevez, so his relationship with Ronald can be considered a good one. He also filmed a Pepsi commercial directed by Ronald.

   "Ronald, your Top Gun is a masterpiece, I've watched it five or six times in a row."

   "Michael Gottlieb is a very good director, he is very talented, you have to listen to him more."

  Ronald didn't talk to him too much, he pulled director Michael Gottlieb to support him.

  Although the director is a little older than himself, the director of the debut film has encountered the following actors who are all old actors, and the youngest has five or six years of film experience.

   As a producer, Ronald's first priority is not to pick up girls, but to try to keep the crew running normally. Although I don't have much hope for the box office, Ronald also doesn't want the filming to be bad and the editing can't be made.

  Michael Gottlieb looked at Ronald gratefully. Now that he stood firm in front of the male protagonist, his authority in the crew was guaranteed. At least in the preparatory stage, the actors would not challenge themselves.

   "Jin, we meet again."

   Ronald finally shook hands with Kim Cattrall. Sit down to watch their first meeting.

  The supporting actress Carol Davis saw that the two did not embrace, and she couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, as if it was not the same as the legend.

  The director invited everyone to sit down and read the opening scene.

   Today is just a symbolic reading, the main purpose is to let everyone meet and get acquainted with each other. The real script reading will be officially held in more than a month.

  The photographer sent by 20th Century Fox captured a few shots of the actors around the table, and then specially shot Ronald in. After all, he is the most important person in the announcement of the film.

  The next step is to take pictures of the main actors one by one. For the makeup and hairstyle of the crew, they began to put makeup on each actor, arrange their hairstyles, and take dozens of photos in front of the camera one by one, and choose the ones for publicity.

   "Wait a minute, Kim, I've found a special makeup artist, costumer, and hairstylist."

   Ronald waved his hand, and the professionals he had recruited filed in, and started to tinker around Kim Cattrall.

   Make-up and hairstyle were managed separately, while the costumer pushed a carload of beautiful clothes and drew them on Catrol's body.

   "Huh..."

   The other actors found out about this unique treatment and all made noises of envy and jealousy.

  Kim Cattrall was even more surprised. She was well served by professionals, and her hair was made into a very elegant and **** style. She tried on a dozen suits in rotation, making her feel like a princess.

  While Catroll was content to be treated as the heroine, Ronald chatted with director Michael Gottlieb.

   "Where are the location preparations? Have you found the key department store in the movie?"

   "Found it, we're going to shoot in Philadelphia. The black mayor there welcomes us to film in Philadelphia. There are very few Hollywood crews to film there, so he personally picked the oldest department store to contact.

   We negotiated with the department store to shoot every night, and restore it to the mall at 6:00 the next morning.

  The story happened at night anyway..."

  Ronald felt that Michael Gottlieb was well prepared, so he put aside a snack. It also reminded him that when he was shooting fast-paced, he also used the department store to shoot at night and restore it during the day.

   The two became very close all of a sudden.

   "Is there any problem? I can find a way to help you solve it."

"Yes, I have to find a better sculptor for Kim. One of the keys to whether this movie is acceptable to the audience is the wooden head of the heroine. We have to make the wooden model look like Kim. , so they'll accept the story of a beauty who turned into a model by day."

   "What are you doing now?"

   "Bring up the wooden beauty."

   Ronald saw that several of the models that were moved out were all modified from existing clothing models. Their figures and faces were indeed far from Kim Catroll.

   "Tsk...I'll think of a way." Ronald took this matter, just because he had something to do with it. You can also help your friends earn some money.

   "Are you ready? Come with me, I'll find a sculptor to make some models for you."

  Ronald saw Cattrol take a picture and beckoned her to come over.

  Catroll hopped in, then followed behind Ronald's ass, and the two walked out.

   "Bichi" supporting actress Carol Davis scolded indignantly.

   got into Ronald's Mercedes and sat in the back seat. Kim Cattrall knocked on the front seat, asking the driver to raise the fender.

   Then she took Ronald, got into his arms, and buried her head in Ronald's lap.

   "What's the matter with you?" Ronald felt that the beauty in his arms seemed to be crying.

  "This is the first time I have enjoyed the treatment of a heroine", Cattrol really cried, she shook her whole body for a while, then raised her head, turned her back and wiped her tears.

"I mean the real heroine. In the past, when I played the heroine, I was actually just a vassal of the hero. This is the first time that I have my own hair stylist, makeup artist, and also the first time that a costumer has so many beautiful faces. Let me choose slowly..."

   "Don't get too excited, this is the costume in your movie. You and the male lead are in a department store, and there is a drag show, just dressed up as various characters." Ronald patted Cattrol on the back.

   "I appreciate it, Ronald. No one has ever lit me specifically, designed the angle to make it look better..."

  Kim Cattrall has a mole on the corner of her mouth, which sways when she speaks. With her new hairstyle and a low-cut red dress, she looks more like Monroe.

   Ronald looked at Kim, who was about to cry again, and hurriedly put his arms around her, "Good girl, you will succeed."

   He didn't expect that Kim Cattrall, who was in her thirties and took care of Diane a lot in the last movie, hadn't acted as a **** idol that really matched her characteristics. Actually wasted so far.

   looked at her carefully for a while, Ronald couldn't help but admire. Thirty years old left no trace on the Liverpool girl. The skin is still very good, and there is no sagging look.

  Kim Cattrall misunderstood the meaning of Ronald's gaze, lying on Ronald's lap again, reaching for the zipper.

   "Don't be like this, don't be here." Ronald hurriedly stopped, and Bud was driving in front, which was not a good way to do it.

"You made me have a little more confidence in this film. The director is very dedicated, and Jin, you value this character very much. When you get to the sculptor, you have to cooperate well and try to make the sculpture resemble you. This is the success of the film. Great credit."

   put his arms around Catrol, although he did not continue, Ronald had already felt the other's "kindness".

The car pulled into a studio in suburban Hollywood, and a woman in a canvas apron and plastic safety glasses came out to greet Ronald.

   "Dai Young, the heroine of my first Hollywood job. Kim Cattrall, the heroine of my new film."

   Ronald introduced the two of them to each other.

  Yes, this female sculptor is Day Young who played the good girl in "High School of Rock". Originally, she had strayed into Hollywood and was approached by Roger Coleman to make that movie. She has continued to perform since then, although her main career has shifted to professional sculpture at the university.

   "So, you want a doll that can move your body and make the audience instantly recognize that this is Jin, right?"

  Dai Yang came over and took a few one-time imaging snapshots of Jin, front, back, left, right, and all directions. Then she watched for a long time and asked.

   "I mean, how long do you think it will take?"

"If you're serious about similarity, then I recommend not making one, but one puppet per pose. That way I can refine the details of the model in different poses, and let the lights and camera help you... …”

  Dai Young explained.

   "Yes, I only have one request, that is, ordinary audiences will recognize it when they see it. This is Jin."

   "About four to five weeks. I see that in your script, she turns into a puppet, five or six times."

   "Okay, then I'll hand her over to you. Do you have to come every day to know? Cooperate well, so that you can look like it."

   "Actually, if you want to look like, besides the puppets, actors should also start exercising." Day Young looked at Catroll.

   After all, he is already thirty years old, and the proportion of fat on Kim's body inevitably rises.

   "Puppets have very hard lines. If you can keep exercising in these few weeks, the fat content will be reduced, and the muscle lines will be more obvious, so it looks more like a puppet.

   Of course, I am just a suggestion, fitness is very boring, and it is not easy to stick to it. "

   "I can, I can get it. Whatever Ronald asks, I'll do it."

  Kim Cattrall saw Ronald looking at him hesitating, and immediately agreed. This is a rare opportunity to stand out. At my age, the balance of fate is not left a few times.

  Dai Young recorded some of Catrol's body data in a small notebook. "Okay, come to the studio at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

   "Where do you live, I'll take you there." Ronald asked Catroll.

   "Is it alright to go to your place?" Kim Cattrall felt that God was good to him, and at the age of thirty he finally stood in front of the door of opportunity.

When    arrived at Ronald's house, Kim entered the room and closed the door, then continued the unfinished business in the car.

   "Oh, Ronald, you're so strong."

   "Um... um..."

   "You are so beautiful." Ronald looked at Catrol with dazzling blond hair, and couldn't hold back any longer, and threw her on the newly bought, two-meter-three-wide big bed.
