Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Put your resume and photo back to back and put four staples in the four corners."

Click, click, click, click. Ronald returned to Demi's apartment and instructed her to pin her resume behind her audition photos, a common practice among professionals, to prevent them from being lost.

"Then what?" Demi asked Ronald after ordering?

"Then you can give it to your agent, or you can give it directly to the casting director. If it's not enough in the future, just use the negatives here to develop them again." Ronald handed the remaining photos and negatives to Brand New Demi Moore.

"Generally, actresses your age need to update their audition photos at least once a year. If they change their hairstyle, they also need to update it."

"Okay. I've written it all down." Demi said.

"Then my mission for today is completed. If there is nothing else to do, I can just take the equipment and leave." Ronald hinted.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Demi took out her wallet, took out a bunch of money, and counted it. There were only more than 40. "Ronald, I'm sorry. I agreed on a photography fee of 50 yuan, but I only have 40 yuan now, and I will pay you the rest when I take on more print ads.”

"So, Freddy?"

"Oh, Ronald. Freddy actually doesn't want me to be an actress. He thinks that becoming an actress will make me vain and will leave him in the future. So I can only pay for it myself."

Seeing that there were only a few coins left in her wallet, Ronald felt soft and said, "Actually, there is another way, Demi."

"any solution?"

Demi looked at Ronald expectantly and asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

"I need some photos of actresses to promote my photography studio. If you are willing to license your photos to me and let me use them for advertising, I can waive your photography fees. You only need to pay me one roll. Just the cost of film and printing.”

As he spoke, Ronald took out a stack of papers from his camera bag, pulled out one and handed it to Demi.

Demi took it and looked at it. It said that someone had authorized the photo to Ronald Lee. The photo could only be used for photography studio display and photography studio advertising. It cannot be used to promote advertising outside photography studios, it cannot be used in outdoor advertising, etc...

"Okay, I signed." Demi took the paper and signed her name. Then he handed Ronald the money for film development.

"Thank you, Demi. You will have a place in Hollywood." Ronald said that he didn't need money and was about to leave.

"Thank you, Ronald, you are a good man." Demi hugged Ronald again to express her gratitude.

"Hi! Demi, I'm here. Where's Freddy?" A woman's cheerful voice came from outside the door, which was vaguely the person Demi was talking to through the window just now.

"Wow, Demi, is this your new boyfriend? He is very handsome and looks like "Superman". Do you want to be Superman's girlfriend, Lois?"

Ronald almost fell down when he heard this and quickly denied it.

"No, I didn't..."

"Hahahaha...I scared you." The visitor laughed softly, and his words were very special, as if he was whispering in your ear, which is unforgettable.

Demi went up and hugged her, "Are you back from China, Natasha?"

Ronald then had a chance to see her appearance.

If Demi's face has the possibility of multiple expressions and is suitable for movies, then this Natasha is the best among them, simply a great creation of the movie god.

Her face has the mystery of the golden age Hollywood goddess Greta Garbo, the sexiness of the Italian star Sophia Loren, and a hint of the innocence of Audrey Hepburn.

"Oh, my God, you should make movies based on classics." Ronald blurted out in admiration.

"But I'm just filming." Natasha said.

"Natasha, this is Ronald, my photographer, and I'm going to show you the photos he took of me."

Demi smiled and came over to introduce them, "This is Natasha Kinski. He is filming 'Tess' for director Roman Polanski."

"Tess of the D'Urbervilles?" Ronald asked, knowing that this was a masterpiece by the British novelist Hardy. "Are you British, Natasha?" He deliberately changed his British BBC accent, trying to sound familiar. If he could get her to endorse his audition photo studio, his price could be raised.

"Haha, how's my Dorset accent going? I'm pretty good at it for this drama, right?" Natasha showed off to Demi.

Ronald felt that the beautiful Natasha had no intention of talking to him, which was a bit regretful, but since she is the heroine of a classic blockbuster, she should have a good photographer to work with. So he nodded to Demi and left.

"Wait a minute, Ronald." Demi stopped him. My boyfriend said he still had something to talk to you about. He turned around and got two enlarged audition photos and handed them to Natasha Kinski. "This is Ronald." Nader can take care of me this morning.”

Natasha looked at Demi and gave a thumbs up, "The photo was very good, better than the magazine photographer who took the photo for me."

Demi struck while the iron was hot: "Don't you want to come to Hollywood after filming 'Tess'? In Hollywood, casting directors select people, and there are not many portrait photographers here who are better than him." She said and glanced at Luo Nader, it seems to be saying, help you introduce a business.

Ronald took out his business card and gave it to Demi and Natasha.

Natasha was looking at the photos taken by Ronald. She looked at the photos, then at Demi, and then at the photos again. After comparing them for a while, she suddenly asked, "How much do you charge for a set of audition photos?"

"50 dollars for each of the drama and romantic comedy, plus the black and white version, a total of 80." Ronald took out a price list and handed it to Natasha, "But I will join the Directors Guild soon, and the price will increase in the future."

"You want to join the Directors Guild?" Demi interrupted.

"Yes, I work for Roger Corman of New World Productions and am the second group director of "Rock High School."

Looking at the blank eyes of the two beauties, Ronald shrugged: "Just ignore me, it's just a small production of 300,000 US dollars."

The two women laughed together.

At this time, Demi's boyfriend Freddy flashed in, "Hey, Ronald, do you think I can take a set of audition photos?"

It turned out that he had just gone to change clothes. Freddy wore a red shirt and walked in, "Hey, Natasha, you're back?" and hugged Natasha.

"I think it's OK. The movie I just participated in, 'Rock High School', invited the Ramones to act. I think it will become a trend for musicians to act in movies in the future. It's right to prepare early." Ronald said.

"Okay, let's get started."

Because Freddy couldn't see clearly without glasses, Ronald asked him to wear glasses to take pictures. Anyway, he wouldn't play other people, and the most likely thing would be to play himself in the movie like the Ramones.

This time it was Demi's turn to stand behind Ronald to stimulate her boyfriend's state. However, her boyfriend Freddy is not a model like Demi, and he is naturally relaxed in front of the camera. He was still a little nervous about taking pictures, and Ronald spent a lot of time to adjust.

"While I was filming in the country, are there any new movies in Hollywood?" Natasha and Demi took advantage of Freddy's relaxation and adjustment to chat about various gossips after the two separated.

"I heard that 'The Deer Hunter' is good. When it was released, many Oscar judges went to see it."

"Oh, is it the one starring Robert De Niro? I heard about it when I was in Hollywood last time. What do you think, Demi?"

"I didn't go to see it. 'The Deer Hunter' was only shown in one theater in Los Angeles for 7 days, and I didn't buy a ticket."

"What a pity. When it is released again, we will go to see it together." Natasha Kinski took Demi, "This time when I came back, my agent received a lot of scripts. You have to help me. I don't have time to learn English in my country. Now I can only speak but not read."

Ronald laughed secretly. There are people in this world who are completely opposite to him. I used to be able to read but not speak.

"How long will you stay this time? Will you stay until the Christmas holiday is over?"

"No, I'm just coming back to rest for a few days and will be back in the New Year." Natasha was a little distressed. "I didn't have a chance to come back because the director of photography of the "Tess" crew died of a sudden heart attack and was looking for a new director of photography. The director let me come to the United States. I will go back to Germany in the New Year to attend various cocktail parties with the director to prepare for the release of "Tess."

"Wow, how long will it take you to shoot? I remember you started shooting in August this year."

"It will take until March next year. You know, the dwarf is always very demanding. Sometimes a shot has to be shot over and over again for a day."

"In eight months, Roger Corman can make 10 movies," Ronald thought to himself.

"By the way, I heard you say last time that to make a movie, you must learn the method school and take acting training classes. Which training class should I go to?" Demi asked.

"The Actor's Studio, the director said their acting training is the best."
