Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 582 Rock and Roll Saintess
"How about this one?" Diane wore a working girl's suit, a small suit with vertical stripes, a white shirt with lace, and a one-step skirt personally designated by Ronald.Diane's two long legs were brought together at the knees, adapting to the tailoring specially set up by this working girl to show her figure.

"Honey, you look very beautiful in it." Ronald touched his chin and signaled the manager of the clothing store next to him to come over. "Do you have anything that can make her look more mature? Take them all out."

"Really?" Diane retracted her chin slightly, raised her head and chest, trying to imitate the posture of a working girl.

"Of course, sir, I don't know how you want to pay, a check or?"

Ronald took a Wells Fargo credit card from his wallet and handed it over.

"Immediately, sir, to your satisfaction."

On Fifth Avenue, there are many such high-end clothing stores, which have various luxury brands and independent designer women's clothing.The female store manager had sharp eyes, recognized Ronald's platinum credit card at a glance, and twisted and twisted to find matching clothes for Diane.

Ronald looked at the waist of the female manager, who looked more like the mature expert lecturer needed in "Top Gun".

"What's the matter?" Diane was a little discouraged when she saw the way Ronald looked at the female manager.It seemed that he was not very attractive to Ronald in this body.

"Sorry, dear," Ronald picked up the camera in his hand and took a picture of Diane.

After several sets of clothes were changed, Ronald knew it well.Diane is only a month away from turning 20, and her appearance does not fit the mature, glamorous and sexy heroine.That kind of confident and calm temperament is also difficult for Diane, who has suffered frequent failures recently.

Ronald still harbored a glimmer of fantasy. Diane's acting skills were excellent, and with appropriate clothing and careful training, maybe Diane could become an expert in aerodynamics in his thirties?
It seems that what she lacks the most is the confident and calm temperament of a highly educated woman.

Ronald finally asked the female manager to pack the two office girl outfits, together with two dresses, and a few pairs of shoes, and took Diane back to the hotel.

"When you walk, you must have a restrained self-confidence. In the American army, it is a male power world. Your knowledge exceeds your superiors, but you have to play this workplace game within their rules of the game. So you The eyes can be confident, but the gait must be a little enchanting, women's weapons are not just as domineering as men..."

Ronald sat on the sofa, took a camera and photographed Diane while guiding her acting skills.

"Ok, Ok, let me brew."

Diane closed her eyes, thought for a moment, then stood up and started walking like Ronald again.Her legs imitate the steps of catwalk models, swaying side to side in a one-step skirt.

"Crack, click..." Ronald pressed the shutter, "Very good, you are walking very well, pay attention to calm down, this character is a doctor of aerodynamics, and the pilots in her eyes are all silly Head boy, you don't want to date them, don't discharge them with your eyes. It's a natural charm."

"Natural charm, ah!" Diane's mind was too focused on imitating the clothing store manager, she missed a step, her high heels swayed to the side, and she fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Ronald stepped forward and helped Diane who had fallen to the ground.

"I can't act..." Diane sat on the ground, took off her high heels and threw them aside, and said in a crying voice.

The "Cotton Club" review is out.Albert from Chicago gave the movie a four-star full score and said a lot of good things about Coppola and the leading actor Richard Gere, but criticized the showgirl played by Diane Lane inside and outside the words.He thought that the casting of the showgirl was a mistake, as Diane was too young to support such a complicated character.

The film critics in New York were even more harsh on Diane, even saying that she deserved a Golden Raspberry nomination for Worst Actress.

Diane was hit hard, and even felt afraid of the heroine in "Top Gun", who was also quite different from her age.

"Don't say that, in 'Street of Fire', you were not very good at playing the 27-year-old rock star. I was deeply impressed by your performance, and felt that you were the rock star."

"That's because you filmed me and Laura Dunn's 'Magic Stains' before. I have experience, and I also have the blessing of Armani clothing." Diane hugged Ronald's neck, Weeping silently on his shoulder.

"It's okay, Diane, with me here, as long as you still want to be an actress, there must be roles for you." Ronald patted Diane's back gently to comfort him.

"I'll take a few more audition photos for you. Let's go back to Los Angeles together. As for whether to choose you for this role, it depends on the producer's opinion." Ronald helped Diane up, carried her to the sofa, and gave She poured a glass of water.

"I'll listen to you, Ronnie." Diane hugged Ronald's arm, made him sit down, and leaned against him, feeling very safe in her heart.

……

"Hey, do you want to consider giving Diane a try as a supporting actress? The role of the radar officer's stupid goose wife?" Bruckheimer looked at the audition photos, but shook his head and said no.

"That role doesn't mean much to Diane. Besides, she may not be suitable to play a peasant girl in the south." Ronald looked at the audition photos of other actresses lined up on the table, and he really left his favorite filter , Diane's childishness is still fully revealed.

The other two actresses on the table are familiar to me. Demi Moore on the left is wearing a navy uniform. She is obviously more convincing than Diane in playing a female officer.The fearless wildness of the body has a unique charm.

On the right is Allie Sheedy, who also played the working girl in "St. Elmo's Fire."She has another style, a pure suburban white beauty from the city, and she looks like an intellectual beauty who has received a good higher education.

"When will they finish shooting the Joe Schumacher movie?" Ronald asked, with the two actresses still filming "St. Elmo's Fire."

"It will be right away. We will officially invite you to audition when you come back from Japan." Bruckheimer replied.

"That's it for now. Let Tom play with them and see which one has a better chemical reaction."

"Tom also wants to recommend his girlfriend, Rebecca De Mornay, and wants to play a couple with her again." Don Simpson asked Ronald, "Do you think it's suitable?"

"Rebecca?" Ronald felt that there seemed to be something to be said.

"Then let's audition together when you come back. She's going to shoot 'Runaway Train' again now."

……

"Ronnie, my manager called me, and someone invited me to do a promotional photo shoot for the rock band."

As soon as she returned to her new apartment in Los Angeles, Diane rushed up from the inside and jumped into Ronald's arms, "Hehehe... It seems that I am not uninvited."

"Why would a rock band come to you? Which one?" Ronald was also surprised, but he was still happy for Diane, and the bad news he brought back had to make the girl sad for a while.

"Bon Jovi (Bon Jovi)" Diane happily showed Ronald the band introduction in the invitation, "They are a cutting-edge band, and the first single of their new album got top 40 in the chart.

I tell you oh, the frontman of the band said he adores me for my role as Colleen Burns in 'Fantastic Stains', and that I'm his idol, so they want me on their new tour Shoot the poster. "

Seeing the happy Diane, Ronald was also a little happier.The next day Ronald first sent Diane to the shooting site of the promotional poster, where the Bon Jovi band was rehearsing at Island Records.

"I'll talk to Weintraub about going to Japan first, and I'll pick you up in the afternoon."

"Okay, dear." Diane kissed him, and walked in with the agent waiting at the door.

"It's all arranged. We will take a chartered flight to Tokyo the day after tomorrow, and then we will have a party with the local entertainment industry there. After that, Toho will arrange for you to go to director Akira Kurosawa's filming site to communicate with him. The TV station will also do a special episode. TV program reports."

Ronald's itinerary is mainly to deal with the entertainment industry, while Weintraub has to meet many potential investors. In addition to getting the investment in "Longwei Kid 2", he also wants to get on the line with Dongying's money. Prepare for your big plans in the future.

"Then it's settled, you bring a little Bud, and I bring a lawyer and accounting team here, and we will go to Tokyo together." Weintraub is full of confidence.

After finishing the discussion here, Ronald let Bud Jr. drive the car, and the two went to pick up Diane.

"Diane, you really are the saint of all the new bands in rock, and you know what, we saw your 'Magic Stains' before we decided to go this way." Bon Jovi Rich Sambora, the lead guitarist in the movie, looked at Diane with a sincere look.

"Everyone says that, this kid," the lead singer of the band, Joan Bon Jovi, broke the stage, "Actually, I really like your movies. I heard that many newcomers in the company regard you as a rock and roll saint. There are posters of you on the cabinets in the living room."

Joan Bon Jovi approached Diane naturally, and put on a pose that he thought was chic, "Seriously, Diane, aren't you going on the road tour with us? You're going to dress up like 'Streets of Fire'." The guests of our concert tour will definitely be hot. All the media will have news about you, and it’s not easy for you to go back and make movies.”

"Really? How long will your tour be?" Diane was obviously interested.

"It will take about half a year, and we will start a national tour soon, and then we will perform all over the world."

"Half a year?" Diane fell into silence, touring with such a band for half a year is a bit too much.Moreover, rock band tours are usually accompanied by a lot of flesh and blood. Could it be that he had this idea?

"No, she doesn't have time." Ronald walked in just in time to see this scene. The two rock singers had chicken coop-like hair and black eyeliner.

Ronald took Diane's hand, "Diane will have a more important role to play, so you can just take a photo with her."

"Why are you so rude?" Diane was dragged into the car, "I didn't promise to go."

"I'm worried that you don't understand the virtues of those rock musicians." When Ronald was filming "Rock High School", he knew the erosive lifestyle of these rock musicians, for fear that Diane would be abducted by them.

"Hmph, I also want to get some exposure. Top Gun doesn't have my share, so I can only use this method to maintain exposure in Hollywood."

Diane pouted a little unhappy.

Ronald picked up the "Hollywood Report" that Bard Jr. bought. The first weekend box office of "Cotton Club" on it has been released, and it is less than 300 million. "Supergirl" is a little taller, not as good as David Lynch's "Dune".

Even if it is his own "Longwei Boy", there are nearly half of it, with a box office of more than 100 million, and it is still hovering around the top ten box office charts.

"Hey..." Diane, who had lost three times in a row at the box office, was indeed dragged down.

"How about this, you like to appear on camera with rock bands. When I come back from Dongying, I will shoot an MV for Madonna, and then I will introduce you to go together. She said that they will shoot the MV together at the same time, and Bruce Springsteen, he I will also be filming the MV of the new song during the concert tour, and then I will find a way to arrange an appearance role for you.”

Ronald remembered Madonna's shooting arrangement and thought of giving Diane a chance to keep the heat.

"Bring it..." Diane stretched out his hand.

"what?"

"If you treat Bon Jovi this way, they must cancel the promotional plan with me afterwards. I have no money. I was expecting this to get through this period of time than the money from the publicity plan."

"Okay..." Ronald took out the checkbook from his pocket, halfway through, and suddenly felt that this kind of action felt weird.

"What's next for you?"

"It's gone. I could have been a rock and roll saint, but you ruined it." Diane made a face at him.

"Why don't you go to Tokyo with me. Where Weintraub is going to talk about new production plans, maybe you will have a chance. I heard that people there admire American movie stars." Ronald said again The checkbook was put back.

"Tokyo? Really? Will someone there ask me to make a movie?" Diane forgot to ask for money, and asked while pulling Ronald's arm.

"It's hard to say, but I think it will definitely help you expand your reputation overseas." Ronald put his arm around Diane's shoulders, picked up the car phone, "Hello, Jerry? I'm Ronald. I'm on the plane the day after tomorrow. Can you take one more lady? You know Diane Lane."
