Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Nicole Kidman's star status is not as high as Tom Cruise's. The latter has many hit movies to protect him, so he is not afraid that one or two movies will not perform as expected. However, the two movies Kidman and Cruise co-starred in, "Days of Thunder" and "Far From Home", were far from the expected box office.

At the same time, Tom Cruise's other movies were still popular. In this case, with a control group, the industry generally attributed the poor box office to this Australian female star.

Hollywood is a realistic society. No matter whose wife you are, whether there is a script or an invitation, it still depends on whether there is a box office prospect. Cruise and Paula Wagner have no choice, unless they continue to let Tom take Kidman to perform, which will damage Cruise's commercial value...

In addition, she is Tom Cruise's wife, and many producers and directors who have improper thoughts about actresses also stay away from her. As a result, only some black movies and movie scripts that require some nude and passionate scenes are sent to her.

It can be said that Nicole Kidman, who thought she could realize her career in Hollywood with Tom Cruise, found that she had made a completely wrong decision. This not only did not help her career progress, but was a burden...

However, exploitation films like "Street Fighter" do not require high acting skills and have fixed fans, which is just right for Kidman to try. Tom Cruise is not willing to let Kidman shoot those nude scenes. He would rather she try this kind of movie that has no benefit for reviews and awards, but helps to accumulate fans.

Nicole Kidman's one million salary, plus Jean-Claude Van Damme's eight million (taking the opportunity to raise his value), the salary of the two stars is close to ten million. If it weren't for Capcom's additional investment of ten million, I'm afraid this movie would become a tool for making money again.

Fortunately, Ronald still has the special effects department represented by Van Vliet, the dragon and tiger martial artists in Hong Kong, and the special effects makeup contacts accumulated over the years. There is no problem in making this movie a qualified exploitation film.

Although it also exploits the feelings of fans of those games by relying on elements such as action, makeup, and special effects, the investment of 50 million US dollars has completely escaped the category of B-level movies and has become an A-level production shot with the techniques of exploitation films.

Big productions are a big challenge and test for the new director Joss Whedon. Ronald called him to explain again.

"How are you going to shoot this movie?"

"In fact, I have been watching those kids playing Street Fighter in bars and cafes these days. I found that they are very involved, and many people will substitute the scenes of the characters they choose. So I plan to restore the appearance, temperament and special skills of the characters as much as possible, so that they will be very happy. As for the other parts, I want to maintain a normal level..."

Fat boy Joss Whedon has been heartbroken since his painstakingly written "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was messed up by others. During this period, he has been working in the crew of Daydream, and he is eager to learn various experiences in filming movies.

The opportunity for this "Street Fighter" came out of nowhere. He was both excited and nervous. He hadn't slept much in the past few days and thought about the shooting part very clearly.

"Well... I found you my best producer and art director, Polly Pratt. If you have any questions about shooting, you can find him."

Ronald agreed with Whedon's idea. This person has a good understanding. Everyone in the company has good feedback. He is a talent who learns quickly and works hard. It's just...

"Why do you want to find models to guest star in your plan?" Ronald pointed to the plan that Whedon wanted to find twelve models to guest star in the part of Vega's bodyguard team and asked him.

"Those fans of the game are all at the age of liking supermodels. I have talked to them a lot. The sexy stars they like are too expensive. Supermodels are a relatively cheap choice. Anyway, they can guest star in a few shots, and those dance-like fighting moves are not a problem for them." Whedon smiled a little obscenely, making his double chin appear.

"I heard about you trying to harass actresses in some crews. The report here is a foot thick..." Ronald took out a stack of documents from the drawer and threw it in front of him.

"Ah, this is all misunderstanding, I just asked them out..."

"I don't care what you do as a director in the future, but you absolutely can't do this in this movie. I'll let Polly watch it. If an actress or a guest model complains, I'll change people, no matter how long it takes. You may also know that the screenwriter De Sousa really wants to direct."

"Boss, don't be like this? I just asked people out normally..."

"Weeden, I actually admire you, but this movie is the highest-budget movie produced by Daydream alone, and I don't want to see any actress say bad things about the director. If you are a director for the first time and still thinking about these things, I have to consider whether you are suitable for the director. You can ask the senior directors of the company if you have time and energy to ask people out during preparation and shooting?"

"No, no, no, I'm just kidding. I used to work as an assistant on the set, so I had time to go on a date. Hehehe, don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely devote myself to being a director. I still need you to help me choose the right person for this movie..."

It seems that Joss Whedon will make a mistake and immediately hand over the casting power to Ronald. He made up his mind to devote himself fully to this movie, and after making a name for himself, he would follow the example of his predecessors...

"Very good. Regarding casting, you should listen more to the opinions of people in Julia Taylor's company. You know? When I first debuted, Julia taught me a lot of tips on selecting people..."

"I understand, I will ask her for advice...hehehehe"

"What do you think? Polly?" Ronald shook his head and turned back to ask Polly Platt, who was next to him, what he thought of Weeden.

"You can't stop the director and the actor from falling in love. However, Joss's creativity and thinking are very perfect, and his shots of several important scenes are still good." Polly Platt finally approved of this color. The squinting little fat guy.

"I won't stop love if it's true. Someone told me that he often blocks actresses on the set to ask for dates. This is already a bit suspected of harassment." Ronald touched his chin. This kind of thing should not happen in this movie. In the movie...

…

"I sent invitations to all these models. They heard that your company produced the movie and guaranteed the treatment during the filming. They were very satisfied. Cindy also said that she would introduce new models from the company to audition. You Did you specifically name the country?"

Richard came over in the afternoon and settled everything about Ronald's invitation to supermodel Cindy Crawford.

In the mid-1980s, several supermodels guest-starred in "Secret of Success" at Ronald's invitation. By shooting advertisements and walking shows for well-known clothing brands, they have become the top names in New York fashion shows.

They also all have some relationships with the entertainment industry. Cindy Crawford and handsome man Richard Gere became boyfriend and girlfriend and got married last year.

But after entering the entertainment industry, she also knew that this industry was not much cleaner than the modeling industry. Many men still had all kinds of unspeakable secrets. Thinking of her straightforward relationship with Ronald back then, she still clearly marked the price. comfortable.

So when she heard that Ronald was going to invite them to appear on the scene again, she had the idea of ​​​​reliving that kind of life again. They immediately agreed to star in the film with a lower salary... Ronald would definitely not treat them badly anyway.

Most of the famous models who appeared in the opening credits had boyfriends or were married, so she simply introduced a few new models to Ronald.

"Yes, models and actors from China all have a unique temperament. The audience can tell them apart at a glance. In contrast, actors from Germany and Britain do not have that unified temperament. Cindy is so helpful, please help me tell Wei Deng wants a more important role..."

…

"How about this? My name is Kara. She is from the country of Lao. She is a model who has risen very quickly..."

Cindy Crawford has always acted with her words. I heard that Ronald gave a female bodyguard captain a special role and a very beautiful close-up. She came to Ronald with photos of many models to "reminisce about the past" .

"Very good. She looks like a Chinese woman at first glance." Ronald glanced at the model who looked a bit like a cat. He didn't know if it was because of the language or eating habits. The facial lines of a Chinese woman were different from the English-speaking model. There is a big difference between British and American women, and this model named Kara is particularly obvious.

"She is a music fan. If you can help her release a record, or get to know some American musicians, I think she will be very grateful." Cindy Crawford still has the mole on the corner of her mouth, and her figure She has completely matured, and with this mole, she looks even more sexy and mature, and her whole body is filled with the scent of female hormones.

"Very good, I'll ask Richard to contact her. CAA also has some musician clients. Does she have any other requests? We don't pay much for the film. If you want to expand your reputation, this is a good opportunity to show your face. ”

Ronald couldn't resist Crawford's beauty, so he sat slightly away from her, not facing the sexy pressure brought by the wavy blonde beauty. Anyway, this matter is generally a business matter, so I just treat it as a favor to my former partners.

"Christie (Turlington) is now dating Roger Wilson, who is an orphan left by an oil company boss and his wife. She is just a casual actor, so she was a little hesitant this time, so I didn't call her..., Bao Lina Boriskova married the rock star..."

Cindy Crawford did not let go of Ronald, and turned around again, facing Ronald directly. The two long legs were crossed into a cross-legged position, shaking and shaking, as if revealing some great secret, inviting old friends to visit their old places again.

"Ah, I haven't seen them for a long time. You can ask them. If you want to make a cameo, you can come. This is a good opportunity." Ronald turned back and avoided the front. Cindy Crawford is now Richard Gere's wife, and he doesn't want to cause any scandal.

"What's the matter with you? Why are you as useless as Richard?" Seeing that her charm offensive failed, Cindy Crawford was very angry. America's big girl temper got worse, and she used her two hands to slap, It hit Ronald's hand in turn.

"Hey, this is a good opportunity. In the modeling industry, I only trust you and Christie. If she doesn't come, I will give you the qualifications of the convener. Anyone who wants to audition must pass your recommendation. Your Opinions will also be an important reference for auditions.”

Ronald thought to himself, I am a person with a certain bottom line. It is forbidden to have an affair with a married woman. Many Hollywood stars have fallen for this. Either there was a scandal that caused people to panic, or she was forced to marry herself by a female star who divorced her husband...

"Oh...Ronald..." Cindy Crawford simply rushed forward and hugged Ronald tightly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you..."

This opportunity will be of great benefit to her position in the industry. Everyone is a famous model. Although many other models do not earn as much as she does, they are still relatively wealthy. I am married to a star, but Hollywood is much more fond of the new and dislikes the old, so others are not without this opportunity...

The convener of this casting is equivalent to placing her in a higher position than other models. As long as someone is willing to try, this is confirmation of her status in the industry. And that saying in the modeling circle, I only trust you...

"Hahaha, we are old friends, don't be like this..." Ronald still acted like a friend, gently stroking Crawford's back to calm her down.

With a height of five feet and eleven inches, and a figure of 34, 25, or 36, she is indeed very solid in her arms. There is also a smell of the perfume she endorses, coming straight to the nose, tempting people to commit crimes...

"Huh?" Cindy Crawford noticed something was wrong and grabbed it.

"Hey?" Ronald was immediately caught, and he quickly blocked it with his hands, but Cindy Crawford held on tightly, her eyes shining brightly as if they were overflowing with honey.

"Why are you so cold to me? Huh? I thought you had no feelings for me anymore... just as desperate as Richard..."

As she spoke, Cindy Crawford made a small gesture with her hand, then raised her index finger up and then bent it down. Finally, he put it on his moist lips and looked at Ronald, "You are still the most manly..."

Her eyes looked at Ronald with lust...

"Oh..." Ronald understood, and then he thought again, is this considered humanitarian aid?

…

Finally, Cindy Crawford fell asleep tiredly, her hair was messy and wet and stuck to her face, and she was smiling.

"Darcy..." Ronald went outside and called his advertising partner, Darcy Maguire, "I found the right candidate for the Pepsi advertisement you mentioned last time... Yes, Cindy Crawford, she is very suitable. I have already thought of the plot and will draw it for you to see..."
