Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Why don't you add some classical music to this ad? I feel that the images you shot have a kind of Baroque music beauty. Well, I recommend Albinoni's 'Adagio in G minor', which is very suitable."

David Watkin stayed in Stockholm with his partner for a few more days. After touring the city, he came to the post-production studio where Ronald worked to watch his editing.

"Can you help me find a copy of Adagio in G minor?" Ronald had completed most of the film editing and was now adding music and narration to the ad.

Soon, the staff found a copy of Albinoni's "Adagio in G minor". When Ronald played it, a very sad tune came out of the headphones.

"My colleague will apply for a pass tomorrow. After picking you up, you don't need to go through the formalities and can go directly to the Pinewood Studios."

"Thank you." Ronald was in a good mood. I don't know how Helen is doing now after several months of intense filming.

…

In the largest super studio in Pinewood Studios outside London, today, Helen Slater, who plays Supergirl, and her classmate Lucy Lane, played by Maureen Tiffey, are filming school scenes.

They became good friends at school and often do activities together. Faye Dunaway, who plays the witch Selina, discovered that the high school student Linda Lee is the visitor from Krypton she is looking for.

There are only ten minutes left before the scheduled start time, and the top star of the movie, Faye Dunaway, has not arrived yet. Even if she comes now, she still has to rehearse and move around, and she can't start filming for half an hour.

Helen and Maureen Tiffey had to go back to the dressing room to chat while waiting.

"Dunnaway has been like this recently, often late, and dragging the morning scenes to the afternoon." After slowly filming, Helen gradually fell in love with the role of Supergirl. The unprofessional behavior of the top supporting role made her a little bored.

Faye Dunaway was not only late, but her concentration also began to slacken. Many times, when acting, the other party always did not respond to the lines she had carefully practiced, which made Helen, who had just started acting in the film industry, afraid that it would affect her performance.

"Don't worry about her, just act as if you are acting to this puppet." Maureen Tiffey, an old acquaintance of Ronald, who played the leading actress in "Famous", got along well with Helen and became friends both on and off the stage.

She was much older than Helen and had a lot of experience. At such times, she was the one who comforted Helen.

"Faye Dunaway has a big problem. I heard that the director wanted to replace her, but he couldn't find an actress of the same level to take over in a short time, so he let her continue."

"I never thought that an actor who got the highest salary in the crew would become so unprofessional." Helen began to complain.

"She doesn't want to either," Maureen Tiffey said, awakening Helen's childish thoughts. "She is now deeply addicted to illegal drugs and can't extricate herself."

"Ah?" Helen widened her blue eyes, "I am so slow, she is?"

In the classroom interior set in the studio, director Schwark sat on a chair, his eyes focused on the infinite distance, and others looked as if he had no focus.

"Go and urge Fei's assistant to see when she can clean herself up." The director looked at the watch, and another half an hour had passed, and there was no news from Dunaway.

In today's scene, Dunaway's witch Selina will have her first direct contact with Supergirl, so Helen's scenes cannot be filmed first.

"Ah, ah..." Dunaway was crying bitterly in her room. Her husband Terry O'Neill did not come to the hotel today, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

"Fei? How do you feel?" The assistant was opening the door and asked her tentatively.

"Terry? Terry, you're here? You're not Terry, where is Terry? Find him for me!" Faye Dunaway saw that it wasn't her second husband, so she howled with a hoarse voice and rushed over, grabbing the assistant's clothes and began to beg.

"Ah..." The assistant was startled, quickly jumped out of Dunaway's scratching, and ran away without looking back.

Hearing Dunaway's assistant's whisper in the studio, director Schwark reluctantly announced that today's filming was cancelled.

"Oh, it's cancelled again. I think if this continues, the director may delete the witch's scenes." Maureen Tiffey heard the news in the lounge and lamented that the filming might be overdue. She was trapped in London and didn't know if her agent could find more invitations for her.

"Well..." Helen was a little confused. Faye Dunaway took the highest salary of all the actors in the crew. After such unprofessional behavior spread, she would have a bad reputation in the future, and the possibility of getting a good role would be reduced.

The two friends took advantage of the break to go shopping in town and then have a meal. Anyway, the image of a superwoman requires muscles and a figure, and there is no need to diet. This period of time can be said to be the healthiest period of time since Helen attended the performing arts college to prepare for becoming an actor.

Helen, who was about to go back to the hotel to change clothes, suddenly found a familiar figure in the studio.

"Ronnie? Why are you here? I thought you were busy with the movie script in Los Angeles?" Helen, who was overjoyed, rushed up happily in her school uniform with a green jacket and gray skirt.

Ronald picked up Helen and said, "I miss you. Nothing in the world can compare to you."1
