Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 631 Let me say something, you repeat it

"Why?" Ronald complained inexplicably to his agents, Nisita and Richard.

"I didn't mess with him, he messed with me again and again. At best, I was on the set of 'Outside the World' and beat him at ping-pong. He always wanted to be the head of the youth, but he really Not that stuff.

Even without me, he wouldn't be able to compete with actors like Tom Cruise and Sean Penn.These actors all have star qualities, and they are the center of the crowd wherever they go. Can Emilio do it?He does not have this ability. "

"Is the news reliable?" Nisita frowned. Martin Xin's eldest son wanted to drag his biggest client into trouble. What information could he have?
"Very reliable. I can't tell you the specific informer, but her information is first-hand."

Nisita nodded, Ronald used her, the hint was already obvious.

"I went to a PR company to get the news, and then I made a plan, and then contacted his father, Martin Sheen, through Coppola. You know, Latinos are usually big families, and fathers discipline their children, and they are more disciplined than Yingde and other ethnicities. Be more responsible. If Martin disciplines his son, it can be resolved before the news breaks."

"However, I have something to ask you. You have always been the best type of customer, and there is no negative news, so I will only ask once." Nisita moved closer, looking directly into Ronald's eyes, "If, I It means that if Emilio still wants to reveal your privacy, is there anything you can’t say to the American public?”

"Uh...no." Ronald thought for a few seconds. Apart from the secret of his life experience, it seemed that the only thing he had to do with the popular idol Brooke Shields would make the public a little disgusted.

"Very good", Nisita didn't really believe Ronald's words, he still made up his mind and asked Eva, a public relations expert, to make a plan just in case, "Martin Sheen and Coppola have been friends for many years, I will Give Coppola a call and ask him to take a message and talk first."

"That's it?" Ronald felt that the agent was very calm, and he shouldn't need to make any big noises when dealing with an actor like Emilio, and the matter would be handled within Hollywood.

"That's it, Emilio is just a stupid kid, he won't act so fast." Nisita closed his notebook, "Richard sent you to Messner's acting training class, I will take care of it .”

"Messner is one of the top three acting coaches in America. He, like Stella Adler, was a young man who learned experiential techniques when the Russian dramatist Stanislavsky visited the United States.

Later, after Stella Adler challenged the Actors Studio manager, Lee Strasberg's Emotional Memory Method, Messner also left the Actors Studio and opened the "Neighborhood Theater Acting School" by himself. Teaches performance techniques. "

Richard began to popularize the CAA's experience in finding an acting coach for him to Ronald.

"Different from Stella Adler, who has nothing to teach, Messner's fees are not cheap. It turns out that his training courses are all held on the small island of the Bahamas in the Caribbean Sea. This year, he also started to open new classes in North Hollywood. Serving people like you who have money but don't have the time to go overseas."

"Someone like me?" Ronald thought Richard's words were funny.

"Yes, many of Stella Adler's students are talented young theater actors with no money. And many of Messner's students are already successful in other industries and want to change careers or learn acting techniques people."

Richard parked the car in North Hollywood.

"Who are those people?"

"There are models who want to become actors, and there are directors or screenwriters like you. You know, many people come to learn acting, not to perform in the theater, but to better understand actors."

Richard led Ronald into a red door in the middle of a black wall, where Messner's acting school was located.

"For example, the famous directors in Hollywood, Sidney Pollack who directed 'Tootsie' and '72 Hours of the Condor'. There is also Sidney Pollack who directed '[-] Angry Men' and 'Hot Day Afternoon' Lumet, both students of Messner."

"Hmm..." Ronald was very satisfied when he heard the names of the two great directors.Since they all studied under Meissner, it seems that there is something real about this master.

"And Arthur Miller, the playwright who wrote 'Death of a Salesman', and David Mamet, who wrote 'Tycoon Game', are also his students. There are more well-known actors, such as Grace Kelly, Gregory Peck, and Robert Duvall. Tom also came to study."

"Mr. Meissner, this is my client, Director Ronald Lee."

"Hello, Mr. Messner, I have known you for a long time. Thank you for accepting my registration. I have a problem with time, and I may not be able to come to class on time every week."

Meissner is already an old man. He wears tortoiseshell glasses and leans on crutches, "I don't care what you come to the training class for, I will teach you with the requirements of an actor. Not a director or a screenwriter, now you are an actor like all the students.

Acting is not a mind game, but a skill that requires continuous practice. Can you complete the classroom exercises as seriously as an actor? "

"Of course, Mr. Messner." Ronald has a good impression of this old man, and he is serious and responsible at such an age. If he just learns acting knowledge instead of learning like an actor, it will affect other students. "

"Very good," Messner smiled, "Welcome, Ronald, my daughter enjoyed your 'break dance', although there was nothing commendable there."

Messner's voice has undergone surgery, and now his voice is very small and a little hoarse.Listen carefully to understand what he is saying.

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm here for." Ronald was engrossed. He had come to study.

"Come on, we are about to start the self-introduction of the new class." Messner embraced Ronald enthusiastically and entered a classroom with a stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce our cadet, whom you may already know, Ronald Lee."

Messner's daughter, who was also his classroom assistant, came over to help introduce Ronald, a new student.

Messner sat down and put on a microphone so his voice could be heard better.

Everyone applauded, and some beauties were very excited. They didn't expect that a famous Hollywood director could come to be a classmate.

Ronald and his classmates got to know each other, and he found that there was a familiar actress in this class.

"Hi, Michelle." Ronald recognized Michelle Pfeiffer, and he went up to hug her.

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to come to Messner's first acting training class in Hollywood."

Pfeiffer was still the same, thin and full of energy.

"Okay... Now that we're all here, I can't waste your tuition. Now let's start the first practice."

Messner's voice came through the loudspeaker.

Ronald had no time to catch up with Pfeiffer, the two sat together and listened to Meissner's lecture.

"We're going to do an exercise now. Let me say something and you repeat it."

"We need two actors to come up and perform, and others below to observe. Is there anyone who volunteers?" Meissner looked at Ronald and Michelle Pfeiffer, "Come on, I just need a man and a woman, You've known each other before, that's fine."

Ronald and Pfeiffer walked onto the stage side by side and stood facing each other.

"Now Michelle, you say a word to Ronald, anything is fine. Then Ronald, you repeat it as it is."

Michelle Pfeiffer pushed her blond hair back behind her ear, thought for a moment, and said, "You're handsome."

Ronald thought to himself, I know how to play this game, and said to Pfeiffer with a smile, "You are very handsome."

"No, no, no, Ronald, when you repeat, change the name. Pfeiffer complimented you on being handsome, so repeat what she said, watch carefully, and repeat it. She It's about Ronald being handsome, so you should answer?"

"I'm handsome?" Ronald secretly thought, it really wasn't that simple.

"What do you say, Michelle?"

"Are you handsome?" Michelle Pfeiffer had heard of Messner's unique teaching technique before, and it was also known as the Messner technique by Hollywood.

She caught the uncertain tone in what Ronald said, so she repeated it in a questioning tone.

"And then it's your turn, Ronald." Messner guided below.

"I'm handsome..." Ronald was also savvy, and he could hear a hint of nostalgia in his old lover's tone, so he said something with fond memories of the past.

"you are handsome!"

"I'm handsome!"

The two of them repeated each sentence, and all the students could hear it, and their tone became more and more sweet.Messner grinned from below and laughed silently, which is a good choice for the students...

……

"Mr. Laurentiis, I really want to cooperate with you, but Mr. Stephen King is a successful novelist, but he is not a successful director."

Emilio Estevez chats with independent filmmaker Dino De Laurentiis.

"Call me Dino. Everyone has their first time, right? And in your current situation, isn't it a good chance for me?"

"My situation? My situation will improve soon." Emilio was provoked by Dino De Laurentiis, and the thoughts of his brother's provocation began to fill his mind.

"Oh? As far as I know, your current schedule is not full." Dino De Laurentiis looks like a typical Neapolitan, and what he is best at is taking advantage of others' dangers.

"Look, in less than a week, the media will stop chasing me. There are more morally corrupt people in Hollywood than me. They will go after the real playboy."

"Who are you talking about?" Dino De Laurentiis looked at Emilio with admiration. This kind of vengeful character is very similar to the Neapolitan.

"Hmph, you'll know soon, he's not an actor, he's a young director. Let me give you a hint, he's about the same age as me, and he was lucky enough to make two low-budget movies with a box office of over [-] million." Emily O triumphantly showed off his plan.

The Neapolitan is not stingy about the projects he likes. Although he really doesn't want to act in Stephen King's ludicrous works, he wrote and directed the script himself, and Dino may be a potential investor.

"Well, you have the right to keep it a secret until you make a big move." Dino De Laurentiis shrugged, and he had already guessed that it was Ronald.But it seems that I haven't heard of any scandals about Ronald?

"However, please think about it carefully. We still have more opportunities for cooperation."

Dino started to smirk. To deal with such fools, we must always make them feel that they have taken advantage of them.And to deal with the newly rising director Ronald in Hollywood, we have to use another way to deal with smart people. Everyone spreads out their interests and discusses them.

It's a pity that I still underestimated the speed of Ronald's rise at that time, and the "Year of the Dragon" may be better than Michael Cimino in his hands.

At least you won't be billing yourself so much for a "relaxing massage".

"Where's Emilio?"

"He's inside, discussing with Monsieur Dino de Laurentiis."

Laurentiis's assistant, outside the office door, was surprised to see Emilio's father and a middle-aged woman running over angrily.

"Take me to this little bastard."

"I'll take you in," the assistant was frightened by Martin Sheen's anger, and he pressed the call button, "Mr. Laurentiis, Mr. Martin Sheen wants to see you. He seems very angry with Emilio."

"boom!"

The door of the office was pushed open by Martin Xin.

He walked quickly to the elder son and lifted him up from the seat.
