Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 1156 San Francisco Supervisory Formation

"Cut!" Director Garry Marshall shouted, "Richard, you made a mistake..."

When Richard Gere looked at the ground, he realized that he had moved out of the planned position. The camera crew tried their best to save him, but they could not save his head from the viewfinder.

"Uh, sorry, sorry..." This time, it was Richard Gere's turn to be in trouble.

Seeing his girlfriend Cindy Crawford come to the scene wearing a suit similar to the heroine's costume to "supervise the battle", even though he was like a fish in water among many beauties in Hollywood, he was a little overwhelmed and made several mistakes in a row.

Even for such a handsome Hollywood star, his girlfriend is behind the camera wearing a dress similar to that of the heroine, but more sexy, with aggressive breasts, and uncoordinated but extremely sexy black stockings, watching his performance, Richard... Kiel also suffered a lot of psychological pressure.

Richard Gere moved his eyes from his provocative girlfriend to the side, saw Ronald, and then reluctantly forced out a flattering smile, hoping that Ronald could control his girlfriend.It's not difficult at all to do it to a female star with a smile like his, but it would embarrass him to do it to a man.

For a moment, everyone noticed this gaze and all looked in Ronald's direction. Even the director next to him also turned his gaze.

"This, this is my job again?" Feeling everyone's eyes on him, Ronald could only lament in his heart.Isn't it? It's his mission to fix the interpersonal relationships that others on the set can't.

Ronald nudged Cindy Crawford next to him with his elbow. She was still proudly raising her chest and hips, thinking that others were looking at her. "Cindy, it's almost done. I'll take you to the lounge. It's too hard for you to stand in high heels and a dress like this..."

"Humph, do you think I'm in the way?" Cindy Crawford whispered back in Ronald's ear.

"No...what you said is a bit ambiguous. You shouldn't tell me..." Ronald felt that the crew looked at him a bit strangely.He thought for a while and said to Cindy in a different way.

"Look, when you come to the crew, everyone is on your side psychologically. You have successfully promoted your status. Now if you influence Richard and delay the filming of the crew, causing these people to work overtime , so that the crew will no longer be on your side."

Cindy Crawford looked at the eyes of the people around her and felt that it was a bit unreasonable to continue to make trouble, "Then I'm not worried about that Bitchi taking advantage of my absence..."

"Ahem, wouldn't it be better if you go to the lounge first and then come back for a checkup at any time?" Ronald advised.

"That makes sense..." Cindy Crawford felt that what Ronald said was right. He still stood on her side. She stepped forward with a smile and hugged Richard Gere and kissed goodbye, "Dear, I'm going to visit your lounge..."

Richard Gere was hugged and rolled his eyes helplessly, finally able to film properly.

When Cindy Crawford turned around and saw Julia Roberts, the two glared at each other again, "Humph!"

"We can finally put on a good show..." Julia Roberts coquettishly said, and after Cindy Crawford and Ronald left the scene together, she extended an invitation to Richard Gere.

"As you command..." Richard Gere still issued a gentlemanly invitation to this partner with whom he had great chemistry.

"Action!" Garry Marshall thanked Ronald from the bottom of his heart and hurriedly filmed while this gaudy woman left.Bringing Ronald to the set to deal with Cindy Crawford was the wisest decision I made since I started filming.

The wooden door opened, and Vivian, played by Julia Roberts, walked out in a low-cut dress...

Lewis, played by Richard Gere, looked at her with admiration. The actor felt happy and relaxed because he was finally free from the surveillance of his girlfriend.The confidence of Hollywood handsome men is back.

"Is it okay for me to wear this dress? What's wrong with it?" Julia Roberts's temperament of a silly girl from the South is clearly revealed.Her character also happens to be a woman who feels inadequate and worried about the so-called "upper class" lifestyle.

"It seems like something is missing?"

"I don't have anything that can match this dress..." Richard Gere's seemingly mature words made Julia Roberts feel at a loss. Her performance of Vivian was really perfect. Wei Qiao.

"It's the lack of things in this box..." Richard Gere smiled, such a very beautiful silly girl.She is his ideal partner in life. Why does a beautiful woman become hateful after living with him for a long time?

"Don't be too happy, this is just a rental, it costs 25 US dollars!" Richard Gere opened a blue box.

"Ah? This..." Julia Roberts slowly stretched out her white gloves and timidly touched the heart-shaped necklace made of rubies in the velvet box...

"Click", Richard Gere suddenly closed the box, and the powerful spring suddenly started to clamp on Julia Roberts' hand.

"Ah..." Julia Roberts suddenly retracted her hand, and then saw Richard Gere's evil smile, and knew that this was intentional...

"Hahaha", Julia Roberts reacted and burst into hearty laughter...

"Cut!" Garry Marshall called out with satisfaction.This one is very outstanding.

Richard Gere's sudden improvisation revealed his true nature as a Hollywood swinger. This performance of his true nature was much more exciting than what was designed in the script.

Even better was Julia Roberts' impromptu response.When stimulated by Richard Gere, her reaction was also a very natural reaction, which was particularly outstanding.

Garry Marshall often makes romantic TV dramas, but movies are another story.He knew in his heart that he had won the jackpot this time.A beautiful heroine with natural reactions is what every director dreams of.

As early as [-], in "Roman Holiday" directed by William Wyler, the actor Gregory Peck also pretended to lie in front of the Mouth of Truth sculpture in Rome and was bitten by the sculpture's mouth, which inspired O'Day. Leigh Hepburn's true reaction.

Audiences love to see this kind of sophisticated handsome man playing pranks on cute women in front of innocent women.

"I think that all the remaining love scenes should be improvised by Richard and Julia..." Garry Marshall thought about this scene repeatedly, which brought positive additions to the film as a whole, and decided to make the next All the scenes between the male and female protagonists were improvised...

"You forgive me..."

Ronald, who had finally coaxed Cindy Crawford into not watching her boyfriend at the scene, heard Garry Marshall's idea and rejected it.

It was already a very strange feeling to accompany Cindy Crawford today. This model, who I had dated many times, kept talking in my ears about how Richard Gere struck up conversations with female stars whenever he had the chance, and how he never stopped talking for a moment. Just stare at him and eat secretly.

Ronald also had to comfort (coax) her. Actors are already very tired from filming on set and usually don't have any substantive interactions with the heroine anymore. It was not easy to convince her.Now Garry Marshall wants the next filming to be the real reaction of the two people. Doesn't this give Cindy Crawford a chance to cause trouble?
When I think about Garry Marshall wanting to kidnap his real girlfriend who was staring at Richard Gere on the set, and give him the opportunity to have a fake scene with Julia Roberts, I feel bad.

"No, I have to spend more time with Diane at home..." Ronald decisively refused this task.

……

"Today's breakfast was really good..." On the weekend morning, Ronald and Diane were eating around a small round table in the mansion in Beverly Park. "Richard, would you like some breakfast?" Richard arrived at Ronald's house in the morning for routine daily communication.

"Give me some, I just got a reply from Ferrari..." Richard came a little earlier than usual today. He handed Ronald an official document and took a piece of bread with one hand and started eating it. .

"Huh, what do you mean it's not in line with the company's culture and values?" Ronald opened the envelope, took one look at it, and put it down.

"Pretty Woman" includes a scene in which Edward Lewis drives his partner's sports car down the hill from the top of Beverly Hills.He couldn't drive a manual transmission sports car and got lost, so he asked Vivian on the street to show him the way.

Vivian, on the other hand, is a southern girl who is very proficient in sports cars. She drove the sports car like flying and sent Lewis to the hotel.Such an important prop that promotes the development of the plot is naturally a good subject for product placement.

Originally, the crew had negotiated for a Porsche sports car.But after filming started, Porsche withdrew its cooperation after getting the script that a street girl would drive the sports car.

Ronald is the owner of Ferrari. After he heard about it, he said that he could contact Ferrari proactively.However, to his surprise, the Italians did not agree to the cooperation proposed by this loyal Ferrari user.Their reason is that it cannot have anything to do with the plot of recruiting street girls, as this will destroy the brand value.

Ronald felt that these people were really stubborn. The plot of this show was no longer the original dark ending, but was changed by Garry Marshall into a fairy tale-like happy ending. "The good news is that Lotus learned that you need a sports car for your movie project. They took the initiative to contact me and are ready to provide you with a new version of the Lotus Esprit SE sports car for [-]. This model is a racing configuration with a four-cylinder turbo engine. , the car is very light, the clutch pedal and brake are very close, and with the great suspension system, you can even use it for track racing!”

Richard revealed many of the features of the car that Lotus was willing to provide. It seemed that this car was in line with his preferences.

"Very good. From what you said, it seems very suitable for a heroine..."

After settling the sponsorship matter, Ronald slowly finished the black tea and prepared to start the weekend rest, watch a movie with Diane, or take a walk in the garden.

"Hi Gary..."

Diane had already stood up and was about to go out, when she heard someone coming through the door.The visitor walked in, and it happened to be director Garry Marshall.He and Diane's former director Penny Marshall are brother and sister. Diane followed Hollywood etiquette and embraced the director who only took on mainstream production at the age of 55.

"No, my answer is still No." Ronald changed his clothes, saw Garry Marshall, and knew what he had planned.

"All I ask is that you look at this printed sample, Ronald..."

"What's wrong? Honey..." Diane came over and asked.

Ronald looked at Diane. She tilted her head and looked at him, as if wondering why Ronnie seemed to have a bad attitude today, which was completely different from his usual.

"Hey, okay, let's go to the screening room." Ronald didn't want to disappoint Diane, he was just looking at the samples anyway.

"How about it, is it worth a few days of your time?" Garry Marshall operated the projector himself and showed Ronald and Diane the improvised clips of Richard Gere and Julia Roberts that day.

"This is a very good shot, but I don't want to leave Los Angeles anymore. I want to spend more time at home with my family. If you go to San Francisco for outdoor shooting, you should find another way to get Cindy..."

After Ronald finished speaking, he saw Diane's doubtful eyes and quickly explained to her what happened on the set and Garry Marshall's hope that he could supervise the formation.

What was filmed immediately was the scene where the two put on the necklace and took a private plane to the San Francisco Opera House to watch "La Traviata".This section is the plot where the male protagonist Edward Lewis truly treats Vivian as a normal woman.

In the overall story structure, this is an important transition scene from the second act to the third act.After this level, the relationship between the two could no longer return to that of a client and a call girl. In the end, Edward Lewis wanted to keep Vivian as his girlfriend, but Vivian was unwilling. She wanted to be treated equally. , the plot begins in a sports car and rushes towards the end.

"Please..." Garry Marshall saw that Ronald was very satisfied with the sample. The obstacle was that he was unwilling to leave Diane, so he made a pleading gesture towards Diane.

"Ronnie..." Diane didn't know what to do when she was asked by a director who was old enough to be his father.She also felt that the filming was very good. Julia Roberts seemed to be her stand-in, completing an excellent improvisational performance on her behalf.

"Hey... why don't you... forget it, I'll go and supervise the formation for two days, and you guys will take care of the rest."

"Cut! Okay, let's get on the plane!"

It happened that the scene of the two protagonists boarding a private jet was filmed at the airport, and then the most important members of the crew boarded Ronald's business jet and flew to the destination in the Bay Area, home to the best opera house on the West Coast. San Francisco.

"Honey!" Cindy Crawford was also on the plane and asked to join the crew.Ronald looked at the frowning Richard Gere and felt a little uncomfortable.If you are like me, purely for physical pleasure, then pay the appropriate price.

If you really have feelings for Cindy, then at least give her a public identity in the industry, so that she is like this now, a promising model who was tortured into a resentful woman, looking at you every day , what is this called?
"Mr. Li?" The stewardess already knew Ronald's habits and came to wake Ronald softly 10 minutes before landing.

"Well, thank you..."

"You really know how to use your time, Ronald." Sitting next to him was Julia Roberts. She was squeezed by Cindy Crawford and was at least ten feet away from Richard Gere. Sitting next to him was Julia Roberts. He is not afraid of Cindy coming to demonstrate.

"Huh, some bitches just can't do it without a man..." Cindy Crawford murmured another sarcastic voice behind Julia Roberts when she got off the plane.

"Save it..." Ronald heard this and couldn't bear it. How long are these two beauties going to torment?

When they checked into the hotel, Ronald asked the front desk to keep the two of them far apart. When they got on the elevator, they had a verbal exchange over the order of precedence.

Ronald was very upset, as if he couldn't handle this shit without him.

"Do you want to go for a walk? It's sunset on the Golden Gate Bridge right now. The scenery in the movie I watched is very beautiful. Do you want to go and see it?" Little Bud is Ronald's caring person and comes to solve the boss's problems.

Ronald looked at bodyguard Dan, who nodded.

"Then go and see..." As a director, it is also necessary to examine the sunset scenery of the Golden Gate Bridge.

The three of them found a car and drove towards the Golden Gate Bridge.From their hotel near the Opera House, they drove to the Golden Gate Bridge, which was only 10 minutes away.

As the golden sunshine shone down along the way, Ronald's mood improved. He picked up his camera and started taking pictures of the scenery.

"Hey, what is that?" Ronald saw a billboard on the roadside, turned the zoom ring, and started to zoom in.

"Hey...", Ronald sighed, it turned out to be an advertisement for Brooke Shields.

It seems that Brooke Shields has been having a hard time recently, and she can only receive some advertisements for household cleaning products. On the billboard, Brooke is wearing gloves and holding two cleaning balls with some decontamination foam on them.

"Drip..."

A traffic jam suddenly occurred on Lombard Street, which had been empty just now. The Golden Gate Bridge and the highway in the distance appeared to be heavily jammed, and waves of horns sounded on the road.

It shouldn't be. Today is the third game of the Baseball World Series. The San Francisco Giants and Oakland Athletics are both from the Bay Area. Everyone is watching live TV at home. Why is there a traffic jam?
"What's going on with this car? Why is it shaking so much when idling?" Ronald suddenly felt a shake. He put down the camera and asked little Bud what was going on.Did the car the hotel borrowed break down?This is troublesome.

"DiDi, DiDi..."

Suddenly, all the cars on the road honked loudly, and then there was a sound of car doors opening and closing. Some car owners opened the doors and ran to the roadside quickly.

"What's wrong?" Ronald didn't know why...

Then, there was another tremor that was much bigger than before, and the whole car swayed.

"Shxt!"

Bodyguard Dan shouted, opened the door, and pushed Ronald out first.Then he and Little Bud got out of the car in a rolling state.

I saw the road in the distance starting to roll up and down.The blue-black asphalt road, seen from a distance, looks like waves rising and falling.

The entire sun also became abnormally blood red.The Golden Gate Bridge and the highway in the distance also made a loud noise, and then I saw that the upper level of the viaduct in the distance collapsed and fell directly to the lower level.

"Oh God, there's a big earthquake..."
