Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Oh yeah, filming here is more comfortable than a vacation."

The actress recommended by Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, stepped on the land of Grand Cayman Island, put on big sunglasses, and her heart became active. The crew covered her air tickets, food and accommodation, and the director gave her two days to prepare, so she could visit the famous Seven Mile Beach as a tourist on vacation.

Otherwise, Hollywood said that Director Ronald was very good to actresses? Before filming the movie "B" by Eddie Murphy of her own ethnicity, she was squeezed out by another heroine, Robin Givens, the former boxer Tyson, and deleted many scenes.

That bitch cheated Tyson of a lot of money by not signing a prenuptial agreement, and was obsessed with her own film career, even Eddie Murphy had to give her three points.

When she came here, she could not only enjoy the scenery, but also have a flirting scene with Tom Cruise. Although there were not many scenes, she was in the limelight at all. One shot of flirting with Tom Cruise may improve his position in the industry more than ten shots of flirting with Eddie Murphy.

After all, not many white audiences will watch Eddie Murphy flirting with a black beauty. What they want to see are all kinds of ridiculous jokes.

"Director, I'm Halle Berry..." In the evening, after watching the filming for a day, Halle Berry finally got the chance to talk to Ronald at the beach party of the crew.

How can you say he is a real great director? Every day's work is strictly carried out according to the procedures. What shots and how many shots are taken are strictly carried out according to the shooting plan. Unlike Eddie Murphy, that bastard, he turned the set into his own hunting ground. Anyway, when he smiles with eight big white teeth, there will be audiences to watch. He spends more time drunk than sober every day. If it weren't for his henchman Martin Lawrence, he would hardly be able to shoot a movie.

"Ah, hello..." Although Ronald had seen her before, he was still shocked by the lazy temperament exuded by Halle in the gentle sea breeze on the beach.

"I changed into my own clothes on my own initiative." Halle Berry was of course pleased with Ronald's eyes that looked up and down. She couldn't help but lift her hair and put her hand on her cheek to give a look that she thought was the most charming.

"Ruth, William, Ben, come on, and Richard, Richard!" Ronald was a little excited. Halle Berry knew her strengths very well and knew how to show the charm of a dark-skinned beauty.

The upper body was a vest full of holes, revealing two straps inside, two large lapis lazuli earrings, and big black eyes, which made it difficult for men not to have the desire to explore.

Ruth, William and Ben were the heads of the crew's distributor, costume designer, and makeup artist. They all came over with bright eyes and praised Halle Berry's taste.

"This is the best black outfit I've seen this year, no, in the past three years..."

"Look at this short curly hair, I don't think it's necessary to use a wig..."

Halle Berry thought that Ronald would flirt with her next. If she could sleep with the director, wouldn't her screen time and close-up shots double? But Ronald called all the professionals. They were really arranging for the company in the movie to seduce the woman played by Tom Cruise, Mitch, and they expressed their opinions one after another.

Although they all wanted to seduce the male protagonist played by Tom Cruise with the sexiest and most memorable image, Halle Berry still didn't believe that she could get good treatment without sleeping with him.

"Richard, what do you think?" Ronald asked a man named Richard Dean. He is Tom Cruise's exclusive makeup director, and he has to nod and agree to all makeup matters related to Cruise in the crew.

"Just a little suggestion, can you make the earrings smaller? They will hinder the angle when you are in a close-up..." Richard Dean's meaning was very clear. Don't steal the limelight from Tom Cruise when you are in the same frame with him.

"A good point..." Ronald nodded. These two big earrings don't look like escorts on the beach, but a bit like the kind of girls in Harlem. I guess Harvard graduates like Mitch prefer beauties with a little office girl temperament.

"Okay, let's prepare according to this tomorrow..." Ronald watched several professionals make small changes to Halle Berry, and after obtaining the consent of Tom Cruise's makeup artist, he decided on Halle's dress tomorrow.

"Welcome to the crew, Halle. Tomorrow we will try to shoot some of your shots, and the day after tomorrow will be your rivalry with Tom."

"Oh, I feel very honored..." Halle Berry hugged Ronald and waited for his instructions. But after Ronald finished this matter, he started writing in his notebook without raising his head. This is his work diary, which he has kept for many years.

"That's it? That's it?" Halle Berry was completely confused. Shouldn't he bring her to the room, then hint or tell her to be obedient, drink a little, do some messy tricks, and then arrange a close-up for her tomorrow?

"Ah?" Ronald looked up and saw that Halle Berry hadn't left yet. He was stunned for a moment, "Of course... um, unless you have something else to ask me?"

"This?"

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, and Halle Berry was unsure whether Ronald was joking or just doing his job.

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to get cold, Halle Berry's cleverness came back, "Since we are already on a tropical island, there are many wild things we can do..."

As she said this, she stepped forward and pulled her clothes, showing Ronald her beautiful collarbone and seductive chest.

"Click... click..." Ronald took a few steps back, kept a distance from Halle, and took out the viewfinder from his pocket, "Don't move... keep it like this."

"Uh?" Halle Berry didn't know what to do again. Ronald actually started working with the director's viewfinder, covering Halle's upper body to check the effect of her sexiness in the camera.

"Very good, ah, this line is very good, very good improvisation. When Denzel told me that you are the best black actor in recent years, I still doubted whether it was an exaggeration. Now it seems that you deserve it. Remember your mood and state now. When shooting that scene, I want to see your state today, OK?

I am really lucky. This supporting role is very important to Mitch's transformation. When the audience sees you, they will think that Mitch's rejection of you is his true love for his wife, which is very convincing. Now, you go and relax and have a good rest. See you tomorrow..."

After Ronald finished speaking, he started to busy himself again. He left Halle Berry alone on the beach, drifting in the wind. "Is there really such a director who doesn't want the actresses who come to him?"

However, Halle Berry admired Ronald's traditional gentlemanly demeanor, and then quickly broke it. She saw a very beautiful white female star with blonde hair and blue eyes. After everyone went to the beach party, she came over silently and took Ronald's arm. Ronald smiled at her gently, and the two stood up and walked back to the hotel hand in hand.

"Tell Mr. Washington that I am grateful, extremely grateful. It is indeed as rumored. Ronald treats blacks and whites, or other ethnic groups equally, and is very professional. It's just... damn, he doesn't like black women. But he takes great care of me and gives me the best treatment as a small actor. I have never received such respect in other crews..."

Halle Berry called her agent in her room in the hotel. In comparison, Eddie Murphy's is just a big grass-roots team, like a harem of female stars vying for attention.

"I understand. It seems that Ronald is not playing tricks. I will find an opportunity to visit the Cayman Islands..." Denzel Washington received a report from his agent. Sure enough, Ronald asked him to shoot the "Philadelphia Story" with a sincere intention to reflect the discrimination against blacks.

Although he used the discrimination against blacks to cover up other more sensitive discriminations, this way of laying things out and explaining it to himself also made him less wary. In addition, Halle Berry's report on this field trip made him pay more attention to the new project. The same role, played with heart and played casually, the final effect is very different.

…

The shooting went very smoothly, the actresses were dressed very cool, each with their own sexy.

“It’s done, I will take the information on the boat…” Holly Hunter also returned to the crew, she still had a southern accent, low-cut backless black vest, holding Bridget Fonda’s Abby to steal tax evasion and money laundering information from Mitch’s master, Robert Duvall’s character Avery.

“Boat, what boat?” Bridget Fonda looked puzzled. Secretary Tammy asked him for help, stole Avery’s safe key, and got the key evidence of the transfer. But the boat was not mentioned before.

“This is Mitch’s other plan…”

“Tell me, what is it?”

“Hurry up and put the key back in Avery’s pants pocket, he will wake up soon. I will bring these materials to Mitch…” Tammy still didn’t say anything, and pushed Abby out.

This scene is about Mitch's wife, played by Bridget Fonda, who wants to take revenge on Mitch for having an affair with a woman in the Cayman Islands. She agrees to the seduction of Mitch's master Avery and comes to the Cayman Islands to spend a night with him.

But she drugged Avery's wine, making him fall asleep, and stole the key evidence and gave it to Tammy.

However, many places on the island are monitored by the law firm and gangster clients, and Abby and Tammy's phone calls are tapped. After knowing that she came to steal the information, she called Avery who had just woken up.

But Avery still had a little conscience, and he thought that it was his own charm that seduced Abby, a beautiful young woman who was angry that her husband had cheated on her. In disappointment, he told Abby the truth and asked her to leave quickly.

Finally, he also told Abby that the woman Mitch met on the beach was arranged by the law firm. Before, it was the seduction of the escort played by Halle Berry that was rejected by Mitch. After failing, they arranged for a man to treat a woman roughly, and then ran away after meeting Mitch.

The plot of a hero saving a beautiful woman dealt a heavy blow to Mitch's loosened heart, and they also took a lot of cheating photos to blackmail Mitch.

"Cut!"

This scene was shot perfectly. The tropical island made the actors very relaxed, which played a good role in the shooting. In a relaxed state, everyone seemed to have an extra blessing, and the sample film made people feel very satisfied.

"Aha, Denzel, I didn't expect you to come to visit the set. Let me tell you, the Halle Berry you recommended is really impressive..."

Ronald was reminded that Denzel Washington was here, so he took off his headphones and stood up from the director's chair to talk to him.

"It's all because of your good vision. I just watched the sample film. If you ask me, Eddie (Murphy) doesn't know how to make black actresses beautiful..."

"It's just a different play, hahaha..." Ronald would not participate in the internal struggle among black people, and gently took the words away.

"To be honest, I have been in Hollywood for many years. When Halle called me, I was also surprised. Many white people talk about racial equality, but it's the first time I have seen someone who really practices it like you." Denzel Washington praised Ronald fiercely. Black people don't care about anything else, they just care about fairness...

"I'll tell you why, because the tickets in the hands of black audiences also cost money...discriminating against a certain ethnic group is irresponsible to the movie..." Ronald's idea is actually very simple, black people are also a ticket, if you do it in the movie, you don't want the box office of this ethnic group that accounts for more than 10% of the population.

"No matter what you say", Denzel Washington thought Ronald didn't want to be criticized by those conservative white people, and showed an "I understand" expression.

"I came here to ask you, how is the selection of the male lead of Philadelphia Story going? Is there a suitable candidate?"

"Jonathan has contacted many actors, Jeremy Irons, Gary Oldman, Wille Dafoe, Kevin Klein..."

In fact, Ronald sometimes received calls from Jonathan Demme at night. The casting was not very smooth. These actors all have thin appearances, and their previous acting skills also showed signs of being out of tune with the mainstream society, so after Daniel Day-Lewis refused, they were the first candidates to be considered.

Jeremy Irons and Gary Oldman are British actors, and it would be difficult for them to act in such a very realistic American-themed movie. For example, their accents and understanding of America...

And William Dafoe is a bit too strange, and Kevin Kline is too upright. It is not very convincing to play a sick minority Philadelphia lawyer.

"Why don't you try Tom Hanks?" Denzel Washington also mentioned a candidate.

"Him? He can't..."

Ronald shook his head, "Sleepless in Seattle" has not been finished yet, and Tom Hanks has gained some weight to play the widowed widower, and this role requires skinny.

"Is it because of weight?" Denzel Washington is also knowledgeable.

"Not only that, Tom Hanks has already filmed two movies for me in a row, A League of Their Own and Sleepless in Seattle. If I ask him to continue filming the third movie without a break, his wife Rita will kill me..."
