Exploiting Hollywood 1980

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

Richard Gere looked at the ground and realized that he had moved out of the predetermined position. The camera crew tried their best to save him, but they couldn't save his head out of the frame.

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

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

Even for such a handsome Hollywood star, his girlfriend was behind the camera wearing a dress similar to the heroine's, but more sexy, with an aggressive chest, and uncoordinated but extremely sexy black stockings, watching his performance, Richard Gere also suffered a lot of psychological pressure.

Richard Gere's eyes moved from his girlfriend with a provocative look on her face to the side, saw Ronald, and then reluctantly squeezed out a flattering smile, hoping that Ronald could control his girlfriend. It was not difficult for him to smile like this to female stars, but it was embarrassing for him to smile to men.

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

"This, this is my job again?" Feeling everyone's eyes looking at him, Ronald had to sigh in his heart. Isn't it true? It is his task to handle the interpersonal relationships that others on the set can't handle.

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

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

"No... your words are a bit ambiguous. You shouldn't say it to me..." Ronald felt that the crew's eyes were a bit strange. He thought about it and said to Cindy in a different way.

"Look, when you came to the crew, everyone was on your side psychologically, and you have successfully promoted your status. Now if you affect Richard, delay the filming of the crew, and cause these people to work overtime, then the crew will no longer stand on your side."

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

"Hehe, you go to the lounge first, and then pick a time to come back to check, isn't it better?" Ronald advised.

"That makes sense..." Cindy Crawford felt that Ronald was right, he was still on her side, and smiled and went forward to hug and kiss Richard Gere goodbye, "Honey, I'll go visit your lounge..."

Richard Gere was hugged, and rolled his eyes helplessly, and finally he could film well.

When Cindy Crawford turned around and saw Julia Roberts, they glared at each other again, "Huh!"

"We can finally have a good show..." Julia Roberts said with a wink, and after Cindy Crawford and Ronald left together, she invited Richard Gere.

"Yes, sir..." Richard Gere still made a gentlemanly invitation to this partner with whom he had a lot of chemistry.

"A!" Garry Marshall was grateful to Ronald from the bottom of his heart, and hurried to film while this vulgar woman was away. Pulling Ronald to the crew to deal with Cindy Crawford was the wisest decision he had made since filming began.

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

Richard Gere's Lewis looked at her with an admiring look, and the actor felt happy and relaxed because he finally got rid of his girlfriend's surveillance. The confidence of the Hollywood handsome man is back.

"Does this dress look good on me? What's wrong?" Julia Roberts's silly southern girl temperament is clearly revealed. Her character happens to be a woman who feels unqualified 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. She played Vivian very well.

"It's the things in this box that are missing..." Richard Gere smiled. This very beautiful silly girl is his ideal partner in life. Why does a beautiful woman become disgusting after living with him for a long time?

"Don't be too happy. This is just rented. It costs $250,000!" Richard Gere opened a blue box.

"Ah? This..." Julia Roberts slowly reached over with 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, clamping towards Julia Roberts' hand.

"Ah..." Julia Roberts suddenly retracted her hand, and then saw Richard Gere's smirk, and knew that the other party did it on purpose...

"Hahaha", Julia Roberts reacted and also laughed heartily...

"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 1953, 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...

"Please spare 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 been dating many times, kept talking in my ears about how Richard Gere struck up a conversation with a female star whenever he had the opportunity, and how he didn't stop talking for a moment. Just stare at him and eat secretly.

Ronald also had to comfort (coax) her. Actors were already very tired from filming on set and generally would not have any substantive interactions with the heroine. 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 in one hand to eat. .

"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.

There is a scene in "Pretty Woman" where 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 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 hearing 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 calling in 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 1989. 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 drank 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 outside coming through the door. The visitor walked in, and it happened to be director Garry Marshall. He and Diane's former director Penny Marshall were brother and sister, and Diane followed Hollywood etiquette and embraced the director who only took on mainstream productions at the age of fifty-five.

"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, who tilted her head to look at him, as if wondering why Ronnie seemed to have a bad attitude today, which was completely different from his usual attitude.

"Well, okay, let's go to the projection room." Ronald didn't want to disappoint Diane, it was just a sample.

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

"This is a good shot, but I don't want to leave Los Angeles. I want to be at home with my family more. You go to San Francisco to shoot, or find another way to deal with Cindy..."

After Ronald finished speaking, he saw Diane's puzzled look and quickly explained to her what happened on the set and Garry Marshall's idea that he wanted him to supervise the battle.

The scene that was shot 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 scene where the male protagonist Edward Lewis really treats Vivian as a normal woman.

In the entire story structure, this is an important scene for the transition from the second act to the third act. After this stage, the relationship between the two can never go back to the relationship between a client and a call girl. In the end, Edward Lewis wants to support Vivian as a girlfriend, but Vivian is unwilling to do so. She wants to be treated equally. The plot starts with a sports car and rushes to the end.

"Please..." Garry Marshall saw that Ronald was very satisfied with the sample film. The obstacle was that he didn't want to leave Diane, so he made a pleading gesture to Diane.

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

"Hey... why are you... forget it, I'll just go for two days to supervise, and you guys can take care of the rest."

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

The two protagonists boarded the private plane at the airport, and then the most important members of the crew boarded Ronald's business jet and flew to the Bay Area destination, San Francisco, which has the best opera house on the West Coast.

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

If you really have feelings for Cindy, then at least give her a public identity in the circle. Now, a promising model has been tortured into a resentful woman, looking at you every day, what is this?

"Mr. Li?" The flight attendant already knew Ronald's habits, and ten minutes before landing, she came to wake Ronald up softly.

"Well, thank you..."

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

"Hmph, some bitches can't live without men..." Cindy Crawford whispered another mockery behind Julia Roberts when she got off the plane.

"Forget it..." Ronald heard it and couldn't stand it. How long will these two beauties toss and turn?

At the hotel where they stayed, Ronald asked the front desk to separate them far away. When they got on the elevator, they had a verbal confrontation over the order.

Ronald was very upset. It seemed that he couldn't control this mess without him.

"Do you want to go for a walk? It's sunset at the Golden Gate Bridge now. I think the scenery in the movie is beautiful. Do you want to go and see it?" Little Bud is Ronald's close friend. He came to help his boss solve his problems.

Ronald looked at the bodyguard Dan, and Dan nodded.

"Then let's go and have a look..." As a director, it is also necessary to inspect the sunset scenery of the Golden Gate Bridge.

The three of them found a car and drove towards the Golden Gate Bridge. It was only a 20-minute drive from the hotel where they stayed near the opera house to the Golden Gate Bridge.

The golden sunlight sprinkled down along the way, and Ronald's mood also improved. He picked up the camera he carried with him and started to take pictures of the scenery.

"Hey, what is that?" Ronald saw a billboard on the side of the road, turned the zoom ring, and began to zoom in.

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

It seems that Brooke Shields has not been doing well recently. 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.

"Ding ding..."

There was a traffic jam on Lombard Street, which was empty just now. The Golden Gate Bridge and the highway in the distance seemed to be very congested, and bursts of horns sounded on the road.

This shouldn't happen. Today is the third game of the World Series. The San Francisco Giants and the Oakland Athletics are both in the Bay Area. Everyone is watching the live broadcast at home. Why is there a traffic jam?

"What's wrong with this car? Why is it shaking so much at idle?" Ronald suddenly felt a tremor. He put down the camera and asked Little Bud what was going on? Did the car borrowed from the hotel break down? This is troublesome.

"Ding, ding..."

Suddenly, all the cars on the road honked loudly, and then there were sounds of car doors opening and closing. Some car owners opened their doors and ran to the side of the road quickly.

"What happened?" Ronald was confused...

Then, there was another much louder shaking than before, and the whole car tilted from side to side.

"Shxt!"

Bodyguard Dan shouted, opened the door, and pushed Ronald out first. Then he and Little Bud also rolled out of the car.

I saw the road in the distance began to roll up and down. The blue-black asphalt road surface, from a distance, was like the ups and downs of the waves.

The whole 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 road surface of the viaduct in the distance collapsed and fell directly to the lower level.

"Oh my God, there is a big earthquake..."
