Exploiting Hollywood 1980

After Freddy finished filming, he took out $100 to pay for himself and Demi. Ronald took out $50 and told him that Demi had already paid. If he wanted to show his love, he could just give Demi the $50 back. He winked at Demi.

Freddy smiled and gave the remaining $50 to Demi, and went back to the studio to write songs. Demi accompanied Natasha Kinski to her apartment next door to take audition photos.

Natasha Kinski's apartment was rented by director Roman Polanski.

Natasha, who was also a model, was also very relaxed in front of the camera. Ronald adjusted the focus and aperture while chatting with her.

"Is director Polanski very strict when filming? Does it take so long to shoot a movie?"

"Yes, sometimes we have to wait a day for a light."

"Tess is a British story, why did you shoot it in the countryside of Germany?"

"Ah, don't you know that the director is wanted by the California court and can't go to the UK to shoot, he will be extradited. Fortunately, some villages in the south of Germany are very similar to Dorset, where the story takes place."

"Are you German? Your English is very good."

"Hahaha, I have some talent for imitation, so I can imitate several accents in English, French, and Russian."

The camera frame captured Natasha Kinski's face, a pair of almond eyes, with sharp eyebrows that are usually only seen in men. This combination of eyebrows and eyes, like Natasha herself, is full of contradictory temperaments, sexy, innocent, and noble appearing on the same face at the same time.

Capturing this biggest feature of her face, Ronald immediately started to shoot.

After taking a set of photos, Natasha insisted on changing clothes before shooting again. Ronald took the opportunity to ask Demi, "Why is director Polanski wanted by the California court?"

"Because he seduced a 13-year-old girl and absconded a few days before the trial."

"When did it happen?"

"About this time last year."

"Oh, I was still in the countryside of New York at that time." Ronald, who worked hard, didn't watch TV much.

Demi briefly explained the whole story to Ronald.

It turned out that Roman Polanski was a Polish director who later went to America to make movies and shot several high-quality films.

In 1977, he was accused of seducing a little girl with drugs. Due to insufficient evidence, the judge and the lawyer reached a plea bargain in the late trial and sentenced him to probation.

Who knew that during his probation, Polanski went to the UK to shoot a new film and was photographed by reporters drinking with many beautiful women, some of whom were still very young.

Public opinion was in an uproar, and the judge was ready to revoke his probation and sentence him to prison on the grounds of misconduct during probation. A few days before the verdict, Polanski fled by plane.

From then on, Polanski could only live in the United States for a long time, and he could not go to any place that had an automatic extradition agreement with the United States, such as the United Kingdom and Canada.

"You know, just a few days before he ran away, he invited me to his house for dinner. I went with my mother at the time, and he also said that he wanted me to be an actor in his movie and let me learn method acting."

"Then have you joined the Screen Actors Guild?"

"No, Hollywood movies must guarantee the employment of at least 57 union actors. I can only wait for an actor to be sick and not appear before I have the opportunity to replace him."

"But I heard that as long as an actor can get a day's salary, he can apply for membership?" Ronald asked.

"No, generally, we non-union actors cannot sign this kind of daily or weekly contract. We can only wait for opportunities on the set. If an assistant director chooses you as an extra, he will give you a time ticket to show that you are hired for one day. Only when you accumulate three tickets can you apply for the Screen Actors Guild."

"That shouldn't be difficult, right?" Ronald was a little surprised. According to the saying, the two sexy dancing beauties on the set of "Rock High School" have been shooting for more than three days, so they should be able to apply for the union, right?

"No, the Screen Actors Guild does not approve membership based on your time ticket, but on whether the crew has given you the minimum wage stipulated by the union. They will hand over the salary list to the union, and the union will count according to the list there."

Ronald thought about it and realized that he had done the work of getting actors to sign and confirm the length of time on the crew of "Rock High School". It turned out that these forms determined the fate of the extras. If you are lucky enough to fill in the form three times, you can jump into the big family of the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild.

As for the two dancing beauties, well, it seems that no form was made for them. Thinking about it, it's quite a pity. I didn't expect that the crew assistants also have some important power.

"Then why can Nastassja Kinski join the Screen Actors Guild? I saw that she was the heroine of 'Tess', so I guessed that she should have joined the Screen Actors Guild."

"Because director Roman Polanski was dating her, she was directly signed as the heroine, so she could take the first path you mentioned, and join the union as long as she officially signed for one day. This opportunity depends on the director's appreciation..."

Demi Moore seemed to suddenly remember something, her eyes turned, and her left hand lifted her long black hair, and used her fingers to smooth her hair behind her ears, "Ronald, you said you will join the Directors Guild soon? Then can you make films independently in the future?"

"I don't know, this industry is difficult. The director of our crew worked hard for five years to get $300,000 to make this small production." Ronald shrugged.

"Then, when you join other crews in the future, don't forget to recommend me?" Demi said.

"That's the casting director's job, but if I had the opportunity, I would."

"You're such a good guy, Ronald."

Demi hugged Ronald again, this time the hug was tighter and more intimate than the last friend-like hug.

"You two are really Superman and Lois!" Natasha changed her clothes and jumped into the room.

Demi Moore's expression remained unchanged, "Ronald just promised me that he would give me the opportunity to fill in the timetable when he goes to the new crew." She also laughed as she said that.

Demi smiled very cutely, her nose wrinkled slightly and rippled, then disappeared on her fair face with a little baby fat. Just like the spring breeze blowing across the pond, it left a vague trace in Ronald's heart.

"Oh, poor Demi, you had the chance to join the cast of 'Tess' directly, but it's a pity that the short guy went to the country before he signed a contract with you."

Natasha Kinski said, tilting her head and giggling. Her laughter was very soft, and her long pale blond hair, which she kept for the "Tess" shoot, rippled, revealing her swan-like neck with elegant curves, a style that was different from that of American girls.

The filming continued, but Ronald's mind wandered a bit.

Natasha Kinski has not hesitated to call Polanski a "dwarf" in front of Demi Moore. She probably feels that she is on the verge of success. After "Tess" is filmed and released, she will become famous and there will probably be no shortage of director invitations in Hollywood.

Taking another look at the camera viewfinder, I saw a very innocent yet lustful beauty. Knowing clearly that Polanski has a bad reputation with women and that he is already in his forties, she is still willing to be his girlfriend. Why is it not to become a movie star? Could it be the dwarf's extraordinary masculine charm?

Ronald couldn't help but straighten up. Fortunately, I'm six feet two, which is 1.88 meters in metric terms, right?

There is also Demi Moore here, who also eats with the dwarf. She is smarter than Natasha and takes her mother with her. If Xiao Chao hadn't been wanted, he would have almost entered the entertainment industry.

The beauties' yearning for the film industry is like moths at night seeing the candlelight in the room through the glass window. They keep bumping and bumping, trying to create a miracle, break through the glass window and rush into the world inside. That circle.

99% of beauties cannot open that window. Some of those that were knocked away immediately threw themselves into the candlelight and fell. Only those with luck, talent, and hard work can dance under the candlelight.

Ronald said to himself, "You have to work hard to become a director and make your own movie. Then you can select the real butterflies, put them in, take care of them, and bloom on the stage for a while."

Besides, I am six feet two tall. Isn’t it much stronger than the short Polanski?
