Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"This is Miss Demi Moore. This is Ms. Darcy Maguire, Creative Director. This is Mr. Merrett, Marketing Director of Coca-Cola."

The next day, Ronald brought Demi Moore in for an interview. The director of Coca-Cola, Mellette, happened to have seen Demi Moore's movie "St. Elmo's Fire" and had a long-standing impression of Demi. The interview went well.

Demi wore a black dress similar to yesterday's. She found a special hairstylist for her hair and made it into the hairstyle of the veteran actress Vivien Leigh in "Gone with the Wind". She did her homework and knew that Coca-Cola was headquartered in Atlanta, where "Gone with the Wind" took place.

As a marketing director, interviewing female celebrities is one of their few privileges. Demi knows how to impress these old men's hearts, and she used three-point tricks to make Mellette very satisfied with her.

"Ronald, what do you think? Miss Demi is playing this role, doesn't she have a particularly suitable temperament?"

"You have a good eye, no doubt, Mr. Mallett. I'm considering whether I should hire you as my casting director."

"Hahaha, you know, Ronald, when I graduated from college, I worked as a casting assistant in Hollywood for a while."

"No wonder, I said that you are very accurate in seeing people."

Ronald's smooth flattery made Coca-Cola's director of marketing, Merit, happy. Demi Moore sincerely watched him express his artistic opinions to the commercials, with just the right admiration and a sudden realization, which made Mellette feel that he is a Hollywood director.

Ronald looked at Demi's acting skills, which was really impressive. Compared with when she first entered the industry, she was naturally smoother.

Demi seemed to have noticed Ronald's eyes. Taking advantage of Mei Laite's inattention, she looked at Ronald with all kinds of flair, and made a "thank you" mouth shape. The white teeth and red lipstick made Ronald excited.

Ronald looked at Demi wrapped in that black skirt and coat, and couldn't help but recall those images of "re-acquainting" with Demi yesterday. Actresses are always full of passion, and their performance makes you feel that you are really deeply loved.

The gentle touch, passionate eyes, snow-white skin and black stockings are intertwined in the picture. Ronald can't help being aroused by enthusiasm again, and starts to lose his mind.

If you look at it any further, it will be exposed. Ronald picked up a magazine and put it on his waist, and covered it with a Coke in the other hand.

"I'm going to see what's going on on the other side.

Seeing that something was wrong, Ronald greeted Darcy Maguire, slipped to the other side, and watched the male version of the advertisement.

...

"Is there any difference between making a TV series and making a movie?" Diane has arrived, talking to a comedian with a high career line.

"Actually, movies give you more opportunities. For TV dramas, you want to shoot as many shots as you need on the day of shooting. TV directors rarely give you a second chance." The answer to her question was "Blue Moonlight" The actor Bruce Willis. He had just made his first film, "Blind Date," starring porn star Kim Basinger.

Since 1985, TV stars have tried film projects one after another, with both success and failure. "Ghostbusters" and "Back to the Future" are examples of big hits. Others, like TV comedy star Bill Cosby, lost tens of millions of dollars.

"Diane", Ronald went to greet Diane Lane, and the two embraced and kissed.

"Mr. Willis."

"Call me Bruce", this comedian is a little different, often with a smile on his lips when he speaks.

"Okay, Bruce. You can call me Ronald."

The two shook hands tightly, and Ronald saw that Bruce Willis seemed to be trying his own strength, so he also exerted a little force, and the two tied.

"I like your movie very much. Is there a chance for me to act in your movie?" After Ronald let go, Bruce Willis hugged him warmly, and started talking to Ronald familiarly. joked.

"Anything is possible. I just heard that you are going into movies now?" Ronald recognized Bruce Willis as the leading actor in the literary film he dreamed about on the plane to Cannes again. He may want to make the kind of award-winning movie, which may not be the right way for him.

"Yeah, I know. People say that I already have a TV show with good ratings, and it's not worth the risk to be in a movie. But I just want to be in a movie, and the movie 'Blind Date' made me feel that only Movies are the performing arts that suit me best."

"I don't think anyone can deny this, and I also think you have great potential to act in a movie."

"Oh yeah, really? You're not trying to play me off, are you?" Willis began to turn his mouth up again. This kind of small movement is placed on his muscular appearance, which does not give him a powerful and intelligent feeling, but it is actually very Suitable for certain types of tablets.

"I'm serious. Your temperament is more suitable for movies than TV dramas." Ronald thought to himself, anyway, you will still make movies in the future, and it doesn't take much effort to say a few nice words.

"You know what? You just helped me make a big decision." Bruce Willis seemed to turn serious, "My agent, the director and producer of the TV series, advised me not to try again. The movie. The box office and reviews of the 'Blind Date' were mediocre.

But I still want to act in movies in my heart. When I first entered the industry, I only wanted to act in movies. Since you can say that, I believe you, and I will find a chance to make a movie. "

"Uh..." Ronald felt in his heart that the comedian seemed to have too much ego and a little lack of IQ. He seemed to be serious about how polite he was. Besides, in Hollywood, there is no one who does not follow the other party's words.

Hollywood is a place where verbal inflation is worse than the Federal Reserve under former General Jimmy. The promises of many celebrities must be lowered by at least five gears before understanding, which is the true meaning.

"This is a masterpiece, I really want to participate, but I still need to confirm the schedule with my agent" may actually mean "get this rubbish script out of my eyes."

"I really want to cooperate with you once, your xxx made me cry" the real meaning may be "what kind of rubbish are you acting in, how can I film with you?"

Ronald also follows the industry code, and he always praises the works of the stars he meets. Everyone agrees with each other's opinions.

Why does this Bruce Willis seem to be unable to understand his own subtext? Oh, by the way, he started his career in TV dramas and only acted in one movie. Maybe he is not quite used to his Hollywood-style rhetoric.

"I mean..." Ronald didn't want to mislead the star actor who seemed to respect himself at the first meeting, and was about to reword his words.

"I'm going to contact my agent, I want to act in a movie. So I can't participate in this commercial. Movie stars don't advertise, right? They are afraid that their image will be seen too much by the audience , stereotyped on an image, so try to keep appearing in the film as much as possible.”

"What the fxck", Ronald didn't expect to be polite, and actually let the star that Coca-Cola liked resign from the commercial. You can't carry this blame yourself.

Ronald quickly exchanged glances with Diane Lane. The two had a tacit understanding and consciously kept silent about Bruce Willis' decision, so as not to let the Coca-Cola staff who were not far away from the scene see any clues. .

"Hi Darling, are you here?"

At this moment, Demi Moore's hoarse voice came over. She had completed the audition and signed a contract with Coca-Cola. She was holding the hand of Coca-Cola Marketing Director Mellett and walked into the audition room here.

"Hi, Demi" Ronald waved to her with his hand open. Just as he was talking, he found that his other arm sank, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was tightly held by Diane, and he leaned forward.

"Diane."

Demi Moore approached, gave Diane Lane a look, and called her name. This is a unique way of demonstration for female stars.

Ronald feels bad, what's wrong? Demi and I have a very clear relationship of exchange of benefits. I reconnected with him and then gave her a chance. Why did I feel jealous when I met Diane?

The instinctive reaction of these female stars is really terrible, just like two female animals seeing a tall and strong male want to fight to determine the winner. Ronald thought to himself that he should learn a lesson from such things in the future, and not allow female companions to meet together unprepared.

Moreover, Demi Moore's aura is obviously stronger than that of Diane, and her gestures seem a bit like her real girlfriend, holding the hand of her father (the old Mellette's hair happens to be gray) to demonstrate to her empathetic self.

Ronald hurriedly drove this terrible thought out of his head, and gently patted Diane's arm holding his, making her relax.

Diane, who got Ronald Reinsurance, finally had the aura to fight against Demi. She also adjusted her posture so that her chest and buttocks protruded slightly. jaw:

"Demi."

"Hahaha... Nice to meet you." Demi pretended to hug Diane, and they both called out "Bichi!"

"Mr. Mellette, I'm sorry, my mind has changed just now, and I can no longer accept the invitation for this advertisement."

"Huh..." Ronald let out a long breath. Fortunately, Bruce Willis, an extremely arrogant fool, interrupted him, so that no bigger problems occurred at the scene.

The focus of Merit immediately came to the male star of "Blue Moonlight" who refused to appear in the commercial.

"Can I ask why?" Merlette took a few steps to communicate with Bruce Willis. Demi Moore followed her, and when she missed Ronald, she gave him a deep look and stuck out her tongue to touch her lips.

"In consideration of my personal career choice, I will accept the invitation of the movie, so that I can't act in this Coca-Cola. I will definitely make the advertisement a TV advertisement for fast-moving consumer goods that everyone in America knows. I hope you can understand .”

Bruce Willis was not a complete fool, he gave Mellette a lot of face in his words.

"Well, I understand. I wish you success in your film career." Of course, Mellette knew why film actors rejected commercials.

"Ooh, hello, beauty" Bruce Willis was about to call his agent to settle his affairs with Coca-Cola when he saw Demi Moore's ecstasy lick just now.

It seemed that his eyes suddenly brightened. This beauty, who is dressed up like a southern girl, has a superb temperament and is very feminine, and she looks very sweet and gentle, with a special artistic temperament. Much better than my co-star in "Blue Moonlight", Sybill Shepard.

That vixen would quarrel with him every day for the sake of the show, and when he was old, he still regarded himself as the peerless beauty who broke up the marriage of the famous director Peter Bogdanovich. In fact, as she ages, she can only date a chiropractor.

But the beauty in front of me is different, it is the stage when the girl's youthfulness fades and her femininity is at its most outstanding, her eyes seem to be able to speak, and at a glance, her whole body seems to be electrified. For some reason, Bruce Willis stepped forward and said:

"Did I have the honor to buy you a drink together?..." Willis raised Demi's hand.

As far as beauties are concerned, they are still beautiful in the film industry, and the quality of actresses in TV dramas is much better.

"Demi, Demi Moore"

Demi happily let Bruce Willis kiss the back of her hand, "Of course, I would love to."

"Mr. Mellette, Ronald, you don't mind if I leave first." Demi smiled at the two of them, and especially winked at Ronald, and generously held Bruce Willis's hand out of the room.

"Bitch!" Now it was the turn of Coca-Cola's marketing director, Mellette, to curse. You just signed the contract, so you can't turn your face right away.

"What about our hero?" Ronald asked of Merrett.

"Just go back to our actor from last year, who was also the actor in the TV show 'Remington Steele,' and we used him as a backup."

"Okay", Ronald was careful not to let the other party find out that he screwed up Bruce Willis' participation.

"Detective Remington Steele" is a detective film, Remington Steele is a fake cover, the real detective is Laura Holt, the secretary behind it, because in this male profession, clients Neither believed that a woman could do good detective work, so she hired a man to act as a front.

This TV series was unsubscribed last year, and the popularity of "Blue Moonlight", which has just won multiple Golden Globe Awards, cannot be compared in the same breath.

...

"Mr. (Yuan Kui), this is Ronald Lee."

Ja's team has arrived in Los Angeles. Ronald was in his office to receive them who had just arrived from the airport. There are a total of six people in the team, led by a man and a woman. In addition to what Ja introduced, there is also a handsome female stunt performer.

"Corey, hello, call me Ronald." Ronald went up and shook hands with them tightly, without hugging, for fear of frightening the female substitute who got up.

"You can call me yuen qiu, I have also acted in Hollywood movies before." The female stand-in took the initiative to speak English.

"The hotel has been arranged, and I'll let Little Bard take you there. After you finish the jet lag, we can talk again?" Ronald saw that the two martial arts doubles who came could speak some English, and he had a better idea.

"Just now, we know that your time in Hollywood is precious. We are here to make money, not rest, for this opportunity introduced by Brother Long. We all slept enough on the plane." The female stand-in named yuen qiu spoke very Straightforward.

Ronald took a look and found that he had no objection. Knowing that the two really wanted to work, he was not being polite, so he asked the company's assistant to bring two contracts and asked them to sign.

"This is your contract. The daily price is calculated according to the price of a medium-sized stunt double in Hollywood. If you live in a hotel near the studio, the company will be responsible for the room rate. Your status as a martial artist is based on the price of a Hollywood stunt double. Treated with the same standards as trade unions.

In addition, you have to buy personal accident insurance, plus daily special allowances, which are written in the contract. This is Ms. Chen from our company. She can speak Mandarin and will explain each clause to you. "

Ronald followed the rules of Hollywood, and specially invited a Chinese college student to act as an interpreter.

"Brother Long introduced it. We trust you, Director Luo." Yuen Qiu only looked at a few figures of salary and allowance, and signed his name with satisfaction.

The price offered by Hollywood this time was high, and he was already married to Xiying, so it was a good opportunity for Aaron to call and introduce him, so that he could save some money for the future child.

He also signed his own name, "Aaron ordered me to choose the best female stand-in, Yuen Qiu is also a member of our Seven Little Fortunes, and me and Aaron were both trained by Master Yu."

Corey was recommended by Ja, but Ronald didn't know the strength of Yuen Qiu, so he strongly recommended his junior sister to Ronald.

"This is the storyboard of the two advertisements. Let's see how to design special actions. Let's do the sub-camera."

Ronald pushed the advertising plot and the storyboard of the two versions of the protagonist, one male and one female.

He also wants to see the strength of the two, and then decide how to cooperate.

"Well, the female version of the stunt shots are these two. One is that the heroine falls backwards and falls from the window sill. This shot has a frontal close-up of the actress. We can solve it by setting the scene on the ground, but The heroine needs to be trained by yuen qiu in order to be real.

The second shot imitates the shot of the food truck falling from upstairs, being bounced by the canopy, and then falling into the sofa. The jumping part in the middle can be done by yuen qiu. In the long shot, yuen qiu wears a long hair cover, so there will be no flaws. In the last shot of falling into the sofa, yuen qiu also needs to make an adaptive adjustment for the actor train.

We've shot shots like this many times without a problem. "

"You can edit and understand the director's audition language?" Ronald became interested. This man's speech contained a lot of knowledge about directors and editing, and it was obviously not a simple action guide.

"Yes, my face is not good-looking, so I have been turning behind the scenes." With an old face, he is not suitable to play the leading role or the second male lead, and often can only play some supporting roles of villains and ordinary people.

"Very well, you come up with a plan, we will find actors for adaptive training later. What do you think of the male version of the advertisement?"

"For the fight on the train, a few of us can wear ninja costumes to shoot the shots on the top of the train. Anyway, this version of the hero doesn't have too many action shots and we need to be a stand-in."

"Shooting directly on a moving train?" Ronald felt guilty, if he fell off...

"We were over there, and the moving bus was also photographed. The speed of the train on the rails was predictable, and there was no problem."

"Ah, Brother Kui, you told Director Luo that life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are in the sky. We eat this bowl of rice, and if we fall to death, it is because we are not good at learning. What is there to say, don't let him pay for it."

The stuntmen behind saw that Ronald meant that they didn't believe that they could do the dangerous action on the top of the train, so they showed impatient expressions and came up to speak.

"Ah Wei, don't interrupt." Glaring at them, "Director Luo, they are all rough and uneducated, so don't be as knowledgeable as them."

Ronald admired the arrogance of these action doubles. He couldn't speak Cantonese, so he asked for translation in English:

"I appreciate you very much. You must be sure before making dangerous moves. You must have the protection you deserve. I believe in your strength. I will invite you to a big meal later. There are Cantonese and Western food here. What do you think? What to eat? My treat."

"I want to eat abalone, I want to eat big crab, I want to eat steak...do you have foreign wine?"

When the stand-ins heard that the boss invited them to eat, they would say what they wanted to eat.

"It's all, it's all, you all said it, hahaha", Ronald felt that these people spoke innocently and cutely, and was very happy.

...

"You will fall backwards when the time comes. There are thick and soft cushions on the back, and you won't feel pain when you fall down." Yuen Qiu is doing adaptive training for Demi Moore.

"The only thing you have to get over is your own psychological fear. We're professionals, just lean back and think about acting and everything will be fine."

The action of falling backwards is a human instinct to overcome. Most people will subconsciously huddle into a ball when they fall backwards, but what the plot needs is to fall down unhurriedly.

"Do you trust us? Do you trust Ronald? He hired the most professional team, as long as you trust me, you can act very realistically." yuen qiu is doing psychological construction for Demi.

"Believe me, Ronald himself has tested your moves beforehand, he has done it himself, there is no danger."

"Okay, I believe you." Demi Moore heard that Ronald had tried dangerous moves for herself beforehand, and she no longer had any fear in her heart. She fell backwards once and fell on the sponge with a bang.

"How is it?" Yuen Qiu hurried up to help her up.

"You're right, it doesn't hurt at all." Demi Moore struggled to get up and looked at Ronald who was watching the set over there.

"How?" Ronald looked over.

"Everything is perfect."

"Ronald, can we talk alone?" Demi Moore pulled Ronald aside to chat.

"What do you want to say?"

"I like you Ronald, but what I want is a guaranteed relationship. You know what I mean? Whether it's Emilio, or Bruce, they both gave me what you can't give, a commitment .”

"I understand, I understand", Ronald knew that Demi Moore was looking for a powerful man in the circle to protect himself. I don't really appreciate her attitude of making money, but in Hollywood, a female star like her can enjoy it.

"Bruce and you?"

"He asked me out and we were back in high school and I think he meant it."

"Demi!"

Just as he was talking, the head of Bruce Willis over there entered the studio.

"How could you do such a dangerous move?"

"Why can't I? I've been praised as talented by the most professional female stunt performers in Hollywood." Demi stared, and Willis quickly apologized.

"I'm just worried about you, honey," said Willis, turning to the stuntmen present, "You all have to protect Miss Moore's safety, I don't want her to suffer any harm."

Crack, Willis snapped his fingers, and a row of florist staff filed in and sent bouquets of flowers to Demi, all around her resting stool.

"Oh..." Ronald covered his face, and this pick-up girl came to the scene.

"All irrelevant people, etc., leave the scene, we are going to shoot."

Ronald motioned for the assistant director to pick up the microphone and clear the scene. Then he looked at Bruce Willis standing beside him triumphantly, without speaking.

"Me too?" Willis pointed to the door, "ok, ok, I'll go right away."

Demi Moore glanced at him, and Bruce Willis immediately walked backwards out of the studio.

"a!"

...

The female version of the ad was shot very quickly, borrowing a studio from an early 20th century era film, and the ad was shot quickly.

For yuen qiu's jumping off a building and the stunt shot of bouncing off the canopy, he took three shots and got a satisfactory shot. Ronald was very satisfied with the efficiency of the ja team.

The film crew moved to the location and arrived at a large ranch outside Los Angeles, where there was a railway built by the farmer himself and an old steam locomotive. The trains are painted bright red and are often rented out to crews for fashion scenes.

"a!"

Several dragon and tiger warriors put on ninja costumes, jumped onto the top of the train, and then pulled out their samurai swords from their backs, and quickly walked through the gap between the train and the steam. The shots are very beautiful.

"Cut!" Ronald watched from the side as the conductor. In Xiangjiang, many action films have such a clear division of labor. Action scenes require action directors to design on-site, rehearse and shoot on-site. The quality of the completion is actually better than Hollywood’s professional workflow from action design to shooting. it is good.

"This is a talent, and I have to find a way to keep it for use in the future." Ronald was very satisfied with the quality of this set of high-speed shooting.

"Pierce, it's your turn." Ronald said to actor Pierce Brosnan. Then it was his turn to direct.

"They're amazing." Pierce Brosnan is also looking at the team's shot, which no one in Hollywood can pull off.

"let us start."

It took the train half an hour to get back to where it was. Ronald let Pierce Brosnan hang on the train, then signaled the train to start.

Another car was filmed, with a camera on a camera stabilizer, filmed side by side in parallel.

"Woo..." The whistle sounded, and inside the car window was Diane Lane in a red dress. Her face was glimpsed in the camera, and she looked very amazing.

"Hello, beauty!" Pierce Brosnan said while hanging outside the train.

"cut!"

"We are shooting the scene where the two of them toast with Coke." Ronald asked the photographer and was satisfied with the lens, announcing that he would move to the interior of the train carriage to shoot.

"Are you British? Seriously, you're a better James Bond than 007."

After the filming was completed, Ronald watched Pierce Brosnan's gentlemanly and courteous performance, and felt that he could better interpret the temperament of Britain's number one Merry Agent than the current Bond.

"Actually they approached me, but I was eliminated during the audition." Pierce Brosnan tilted his head, "So I can only go back to playing Detective Steele.

"They made a serious mistake, serious!" Ronald felt that the committee that controlled the property rights of the 007 series of films by the descendants of the 007 author was simply blind. Such an actor is the spokesperson of James Bond.
