Exploiting Hollywood 1980

, Exploitation of Hollywood 1980

It is a pity that such a long-shot shooting of a big scene was interrupted because of a small problem.

Fortunately, the long shot has just begun, and the previous part can be used. Just cut a shot of the audience shouting "I love you, Allen".

Ronald's heart is still pounding. The dense drum beats and the enthusiastic audience may really drive people's emotions.

Ronald looked at Diane, who appeared in front of him in a brand new attitude today. The little girl who played with Donna in the New York apartment and sat next to him at the Oscars ceremony has faded into a dancing butterfly, full of charm.

Diane, holding the microphone on the stage, seemed to be still immersed in the role, with a somewhat angry expression, frowning eyebrows, and abdominal strength. With the performance costume of Giorgio Armani, she looked like a rock star.

"Shoot!" Diane waved her hand, "I was in a good state just now." She was also a little upset by Ronald's words. . I had already made up my mind to put aside my girlish complex of dating my friend's brother, but who knew...

"My problem, sorry. I suddenly forgot the name of the character." Ronald took the initiative to apologize to director Walter Hill.

"Hmph, I'll go take a break." Diane glared at Ronald and turned to leave when she heard this.

"Diane," Ronald called Diane, then looked at her, not knowing what to say for a moment, "Sorry, it's my problem."

"Your acting is too bad!" Diane blurted out, and then went back to the lounge with Marin Jahan.

Ronald saw that Diane had no reaction, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little regretful. He turned to director Walter Hill, "How about changing someone? I'm really not very good at acting."

"Find another one," Director Walter Hill turned around and assigned the task to the assistant director. This kind of guest role was a piece of cake for him.

Ronald took Richard to the back of the camera, facing the door of the auditorium. So as not to interfere with the filming.

"Maybe in the past, but not now", Ronald calmed down and thought for a while, thinking that Diane might have had some feelings for him before, and he helped her a lot several times, such as helping her escape from the lying scumbag at Jane Fonda's party, helping her escape from her mother, and later avoiding the embarrassment at the Oscars.

Perhaps this is the complex that all American girls have, wanting to date their friend's brother.

When there is a chance, I can talk to her privately once, and then I can turn the page on this episode. Ronald thought, but Diane has really changed a lot. When she was in the 54 Club before, she was still a little fat girl, how come she has grown into a big beauty all of a sudden now.

American white girls develop very quickly, and they will grow up like dough after a few months of absence. For example, Brooke Shields, when I saw her in the Israeli desert last time, she was a little fat.

"Hi, hi", why did I think of Brooke again? Ronald retracted his thoughts.

"There is another invitation today. A car manufacturer wants to invite you to shoot the advertisement for their latest car." Richard said to Ronald next to him.

"I remember that my advertising agency contract was not signed with CAA, right?"

"There is no way. They are a Swedish car manufacturer, so they found your contact information through our office in London."

"Why did they find me to shoot the advertisement?"

"I heard that it was your chewing gum advertisement that was broadcast in Sweden and attracted their attention. That's why they found your name."

"Why is chewing gum related to cars?"

"They think your shooting is clean and neat, which is very suitable for the quality of their brand of cars."

"What brand is it?"

"Saab" Richard responded.

"I haven't heard of it."

"Anyway, if you are interested, I can ask them to come and talk to you, but this time it will be counted as my business." Richard still has only one client, and he is the most self-centered among the agents.

"No problem." Ronald patted Richard on the shoulder.

"Quiet, please keep quiet" The assistant director began to use the microphone to loudly ask everyone to be quiet, and the next shooting was about to begin.

Ronald closed his mouth and watched the filming on the stage. Several cameras were pointed at the scenes they designed. At the director's command, the band started the prelude again.

"Ahhh..." The audience started cheering again, and Diane ran onto the stage with the expectation of the crowd.

"Lying in your bed, on a Saturday night

You are sweating profusely, not even hot.

But your brain has got the message

It is sending it out

To every nerve and every muscle in your body"

The lyrics of this opening song "nowherefast" are very interesting. It tells the story between a girl and an object of admiration with whom she has some vague feelings.

On a hot summer afternoon, although the temperature is not high, people feel like they are being exposed to the high temperature. Hormones kick into everyone's body, driving the human body to sweat crazily.

The two don't know what dreams can be realized or what things to do, but the passion of boys and girls prompts them to do something.

So the two got into the boy's father's car and stepped on the accelerator. They wandered around the city aimlessly, as if they were going somewhere, but in fact, they just wanted to escape from their boring past and find a certain meaning for their lives.

"godspeed

godspeed

godspeed

"speedaway"

Diane's lip-synching reached the final part of the chorus. From a distance, Ronald could still feel the anger that Diane wanted to vent, filling his entire body, as if it turned into light radiation, radiating towards the audience in all directions, transferring heat to them. .

"Diane is indeed a little genius in terms of acting skills." Ronald was far away and could still feel the heat radiation. Those in the front row, no longer needing the guidance of assistants, really started to go crazy.

"Oh, I'm starting to really believe that there is a female rock star named Ellen Ann in this world." Richard said in Ronald's ear. The audience's shouts were so loud that he couldn't hear him at all. clear.

"godspeed, godspeed..."

Diane was repeating this lyric over and over again, and Ronald knew it was a very old-fashioned way of saying it, which meant wishing you a safe journey. Ronald only heard Aunt Karen say it a few times.

“godspeed,

"speedaway"

Diane began to dance on the stage, shaking her head, and the crane camera focused on her and began to take close-ups.

"godspeed" Ronald also said silently in his heart, wishing Diane good luck in her acting career.

"Bang!" The door at the back of the auditorium was pushed open, and the villain played by Willem Dafoe, wearing only a leather jacket and no shirt on his upper body, walked in with a few of his men.

"Cut!" Director Walter Hill called to stop. This time he was very satisfied. The cameras in several directions captured good pictures.

Walter Hill looked at the director of photography, hoping he would give him the answer to a successful shot of a camera on a crane.

"Most of Diane's face was blocked by the microphone. We have to do it all over again." The photographer shook his head knowingly. No one on the crew knew how to shoot a classic musical. Everyone was groping and shooting.

"Hey..." Everyone sighed and had to do it all over again.

Ronald went to the lounge to say goodbye to Diane and knocked gently on the door.

"Who is it?" Diane's voice sounded impatiently.

"It's me, Ronald."

"Oh", Diane asked her assistant to open the door. She was touching up her makeup and using a straw to replenish water. The headlights and the temperature made it very difficult for her to perform lip-syncing on stage while fully equipped.

"I'm here to say goodbye. My acting skills are indeed not good enough. The director has replaced an actor. I have to leave first."

"It's okay, you can go. Say hello to Aunt Karen for me, and Donna. She has time to come to Los Angeles during the holidays."

"I will," Ronald wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. Should he directly ask Diane if she has admiration for him?

Now that Diane has passed this stage, it's better not to reveal anything...right?

"Then shall I leave first?" Ronald asked.

"Okay," Diane waved to Ronald, "then, godspeed?"

"Yeah, thank you." Ronald turned to leave.

"I will be filming here for a long time. Will you come to visit me again?" Diane suddenly asked again.

"Of course, if Donna comes, I will come with her to see you."

Diane asked the makeup artist to stop for a moment, then opened her arms and hugged Ronald.

Ronald held Diane in his arms, and Giorgio Armani's costumes fully revealed the advantages of Diane's figure.

Ronald couldn't help but kiss Diane...on the cheek.

Diane kissed Ronald on the cheek as well.

"Goodbye, I'm still waiting to see your new movie."
