Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 586

"I don't want Emilio Estevez. This guy has a hunchback and superficial acting skills. Most importantly, he has no hormones. Pilots are full of male hormones. He is not suitable..."

In Don Simpson's mansion, Ronald talked to the two producers, saying a lot of reasons not to Estevez.

"Ronald..." Jerry Bruckheimer tried to stop him from the side.

"Really, the supporting actor in this movie will make the female audience scream. Emilio's hunchback is like a big turtle. He took off his shirt and couldn't show his strong upper body. We have to find those It could be in a women's magazine..."

"Ronald, you are right, but Emilio Estevez has declined the audition invitation." Don Simpson couldn't stand it anymore, and interrupted Ronald's wordy, "Our most important Iceman, the supporting actor, has already found Val Kilmer to audition, and we will definitely not use the Estevez family."

"Ahem..." Ronald stopped suddenly, picked up his water glass and took a sip of water, "Van Kilmer, is he willing to play this kind of role?"

The newcomer, fresh out of the comedy "Top Secret" directed by Ronald's acquaintance Jerry Zucker Trio, is in high spirits.Ronald is a bit allergic to this rising actor's "want to do meaningful roles" mentality.

"Let's take a look first, as long as it meets the requirements, we have a way to make him submit."

……

"Please face, side, and back to the camera and do something."

"Handsome guys have no dead ends from any angle." Val Kilmer chewed his gum, and actually put on a self-appreciative gesture to the camera.

Val Kilmer's hormones are indeed bursting. He is a classic American handsome guy with a square chin. At first glance, he thinks highly of himself and has no acting skills.

But what's better about him than Estevez is that he looks like a bad guy, and his appearance is the same.In this way, in some movies such as "Top Gun" that do not require acting skills, you can still play the main supporting role and play in your true colors, which is convincing.

Val Kilmer's hairstyle is the most popular recently. The bangs in the front are set high with mousse, the long hair in the back hangs down to the neckline, and the sideburns on both sides are cut high, which is a bit American The demeanor of the resident fighters.

The light blonde hair color seems to be natural, with a vertically striped shirt and a dark blue coat, it is true that handsome people can't fit their legs.

At least his girlfriend, famous singer and actress Cher, thinks so.

The 38-year-old star, the years have been very tolerant to her, leaving no wrinkles on her face.She was wearing a black and white plaid skirt, a leather jacket with leather boots, and a long black and white plaid scarf around her neck just right. She was waiting for her boyfriend Fang Kimmer outside the audition room.

"We have further news and will inform your agent." Ronald opened the door to let Kimmer out, "Hi, Cher. Long time no see."

"Speak to my agent," Val Kilmer treats Ronald with as little respect as he would a casting director, asking Cher to go with him.Anyway, he didn't want to act in such a big MV movie.

"Let me have a chat with Ronald, we met before." Xueer has experienced ups and downs, and knows that Ronald is a very good-tempered director, but the attitude of the little boyfriend is really impolite.

Val Kilmer turned up his collar, glanced sideways at Ronald, and walked outside, "Then I'll go get the car first."

"Ronald, the last time I saw you were still casting for your debut film, and now you are a great director. I only realized that you are a genius director after a few steps of filming." Xueer has the aura of a star , Coming up made Ronald feel respected.

"I saw your acting skills in the 'Silkwood Incident'. It seems that whether you are a singer or an actor, you are all top-notch. The Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress is well deserved."

Ronald and this kind of other fields have achieved great success and turned to be an actor, which is very respected.Success in a field is not accidental.

"Val Kilmer is a talented young man..."

"..." Ronald looked at Cher's leather jacket in a daze.

"He is a bit arrogant towards others..."

"Ah, what, the producer will have the final say."

"That's it? Bye." Seeing that Ronald didn't want to talk, Cher came up and hugged him, and then walked out quickly. Val Kilmer was already honking the horn outside the door impatiently.

"Bye-Bye……"

"So it's true." Ronald touched his chest, recollecting the feeling, "So I read it right, Xueer really didn't wear underwear, and she wore a black lace see-through dress inside her leather jacket. Street. She is really a maverick, a strange woman who shocks the world.

"How is he?" Ronald asked Don Simpson as he entered the door.

"Very well, it is most suitable for him to play the Iceman."

"I think he doesn't seem to want to act."

"It's not up to him whether he wants to or not. He signed two film contracts with Paramount, and the contract stipulates that he must act. He is not Helen Slater, and his girlfriend Cher has no connections in Hollywood."

"Okay..." Ronald continued to look at the audition arrangement in his hand, "Next, Tim Robbins..."

At night, Ronald took to work in the apartment with photos of the supporting actors the two producers had rounded up.He posted the audition photos one by one on the whiteboard, and wrote the character's call sign below. In the flight school, the Lone Ranger played by Tom Cruise and the Iceman played by Val Kilmer are deadly rivals.

One of the two characters believes in theory and is extremely calm, so he got the call sign of the Iceman.A person who believes in intuition, acts on instinct, and gets the call sign of the Lone Ranger is exactly the two extremes.

Little Bard brought in a pot of black tea and a box of biscuits, and saw that Ronald was still lighting up the night, writing something on the whiteboard from time to time.

He watched for a long time, and finally said, "Drink some hot tea first, Ronnie. Aunt Karen told me not to make you work too hard. I didn't expect that making a movie is such a high-intensity job. It's Christmas, and you're still working seven or eight hours a day.

"Bud, you also come to drink tea with me." Ronalda opened a chair and let the little Bud sit down, "Director Akira Kurosawa encouraged me to work hard. He is so old. When preparing for a new film, I discussed the plot with the screenwriter team seven or eight hours a day, which is how it is in this industry, and it is very busy when you are busy." The two finished their snacks, and Ronald continued to work until late at night.

Christmas and New Year's holidays are in the past, and Ronald has basically selected all the supporting actors.

On the second day of the new year, Ronald and the two producers led all the male actors to the Miramar Naval Air Force Base.

"This is the F-14A Tomcat fighter jet, which is the new fighter jet that you fly in the movie. Because of the need for real shooting, we have to conduct adaptive training. Everyone has the opportunity to experience flying."

Retired Navy Captain Pilot, Pete Pettigrew briefs the actors.

"Today is just an appetizer. Take turns flying these three fighter jets to experience what it's like to be a naval aviation pilot. After that, you will receive the same training as real pilots until you can be as good as the young pilots."

The three fighter jets are all active Navy fighter pilots, grinning at a group of arrogant Hollywood actors, eagerly waiting for who will be the first to throw themselves into the trap and let them enjoy a feast.

"Let's go Lone Ranger first", Don Simpson saw that everyone was a little scared, so he named Tom Cruise. He has already been on a fighter jet, and he is still learning to fly, to give the remaining actors a little challenge.

"No problem, watch it, guys." Tom Cruise put on his flying helmet and boarded one of the fighter jets with a proud face.

"Take it easy, Bozo," Pete Pettigrew told the carefree pilot.

"What did you call him?" Ronald asked Pettigrew again, afraid that he had heard it wrong.

"Bozo, that's his callsign."

"Why is it called this call sign?" Ronald couldn't help wondering, looking at the idiot who gave a thumbs up, and Tom Cruise who was smiling brightly in the back seat and wanted to show the actors.

"Huh...huh...", the two black engine tailpipes of the F-14A opened one by one, and with the huge noise, flames were sprayed backwards, and the flames suddenly increased, and the idiot's landline accelerated a short distance away. Force takes off.

"Oh, it's exciting." Tom Cruise, who flew in the F-14A Tomcat for the first time, yelled in the back seat.

"Did you see the vomit bag?" Bozo asked Tom in the backseat.

"Here it is..." Tom Cruise leaned over to pick it up.

"Woo..." The idiot pulled the joystick, and the F-14A raised its head and began to accelerate upwards with all its strength.

The huge G force pressed Tom Cruise tightly to the floor.His head was crushed between his legs and he couldn't move.

"It's taking off so fast, are you okay?" Ronald asked Pete Pettigrew looking up at the disappearing plane in the sky.

"Shxt!" Pete Pettigrew sneered. "The idiot is at it again. The pilot is not very friendly to you Hollywood people. Maybe he wants to give the boy a little trouble."

"Boom..." F-14A went back and forth, made a low-altitude pass, and finally turned around and stopped firmly on the tarmac.

"Damn it, what are you doing? I'm not ready in the back, with my head pressed between my legs by the G force." Tom Cruise recovered from that uncomfortable position, thankfully he didn't throw up this time, "I said How did you get promoted so quickly?"

"That's right, you guys are not ready." Bozo said triumphantly in front, "Don't you think about it, why do they call me Bozo?"

"Shxt!" Tom Cruise slowed down for a while, then opened the cockpit, smiled at Val Kilmer and a group of actors, pretending to be very happy and said, "Hey, it's so exciting, you guys haven't come up to play yet Play?"

"vomit……"

Val Kilmer also got on Bozo's plane, and when he got off, he vomited on the ground clutching the vomit bag.

"You have to get used to it and fly more." Tom Cruise said next to him.

"I won't...vomit..."

"Let that idiot come and talk to me, I think he is very suitable to be a stunt pilot in the movie." Ronald saw that the pilot made the two male protagonists look embarrassed, and his flying style was very aggressive, so he thought about it .

"He said he wanted you to go up and try before he agreed." Peter Pettigrew said to Ronald after a few words of stupid exchange.

"Come on," Ronald fastened his seat belt, put on his oxygen mask, and said to the front.

"What are you talking about? I can't hear you clearly?" Bozo pretended not to hear.

"I said..." Ronald took off his mask, and just about to say it, he felt a push back from an emergency takeoff, scaring Ronald to swallow his words quickly and get ready.

A series of buckets and buckets rolled, and the plane returned to the tarmac.

"You're not bad, don't you want to be a pilot?" Stupid Among these Hollywood trainees, Ronald, who didn't throw up and wasn't afraid to scare, was pleasing to the eye.

"So, would you like to be my stunt pilot?"

"No problem, it's my wish to let the audience see the real flying skills." Stupid is not stupid, he just often does some outrageous things, even though his skills are top-notch, he hasn't been promoted.

"Well, the producer will talk to you later, and there will be a good subsidy." Ronald pushed open the cockpit, "Come one by one, everyone chooses a fighter jet, and we have to fly it again today and try it out, if you can't afford it Those who are flying, you can tell me, we will not arrange your real shots."

"Boom..." The supporting actors dispersed and lined up in front of the other two F-14As.

"You really don't get dizzy or vomit?" Tom Cruise walked up and whispered to Ronald, "This pilot is very fierce, but luckily I'm smart."

"It's okay, I didn't wear an oxygen mask. I think their fighter pilots don't follow the manual. Maybe you don't wear it in the future, so that the audience can see your face." Ronald made a mask for Cruise "Besides, if you vomit, you can vomit in the helmet instead of the oxygen mask. It's disgusting."

"Uh...uh...", Val Kilmer, who was resting beside him with a pale face, was disgusted by Ronald's words, and began to vomit again with a vomiting bag.

"Hahaha..." Ronald and Tom Cruise looked at each other and smiled.
