Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Exploitation of Hollywood 1980 Text Volume 215 A Big V "Is this what Kurosawa wrote for you?" Agent Niceta came to Ronald's apartment and watched Ronald hang the banner written by Kurosawa and framed by a master in Chinatown, Los Angeles, on the wall of the living room.

"Yes, it means to work hard in Chinese." Ronald asked Niceta to see if it was even on both sides, and then jumped off the stool.

Diane got the advertising fee and stayed in Los Angeles for a short time. She went to various places to promote with the crew of "Cotton Club". In addition to various places in America, they also went to Europe, especially the United States, for marketing. Coppola has not given up the effort to make this big production pay off.

Encouraged by Coppola, Diane also wanted to try again. In case she could become famous in Europe, she could continue her A-list acting career. There are also actors who became famous at European film festivals and then returned to Hollywood, such as Jacqueline Bissette in the early years.

Ronald, who has returned to being single, has been working with retired Navy Captain Pete Pettigrew these days to design the flying maneuvers of the F-14A Tomcat.

Ronald has flown in the F5 fighter jet of the Blue Angels aerobatic team. Based on his experience in the sky, he designed a shot of a fighter jet leaving an aircraft carrier and then filming the aircraft carrier from the tail of the fighter jet.

From the fighter jet that did a 360-degree roll, the aircraft carrier slowly sailing on the sea seemed to have turned over. This was Ronald's intuitive feeling in the cockpit of the Blue Angels. The blue sky and the sea surface were reversed in the eyes of the pilot.

He wanted the movie audience to also feel what he felt in the cockpit.

But Pettigrew told him that the Blue Angels' F5 could do it, but the F-14 Tomcat couldn't. The F-14 Tomcat is a large fighter jet with twin engines and twin vertical tails. Because this type of aircraft has two vertical tails, the directionality of the nose is much stronger than the rolling ability of the fuselage.

After taking off and leaving the aircraft carrier, if the stick is pulled to make a roll, it is very likely that the nose of the aircraft will point to the direction of the stick, rather than the fuselage rolling quickly. To make the action he wants, an ace pilot is needed to fly to succeed.

Ronald benefited a lot from the communication with the flight instructor. He and Pettigrew improved a lot of flight shots of the aircraft. Grumman's engineers, directors and flight instructors formed a three-person team, gradually allowing Ronald's ideas to be truly filmed.

"This time, Ali Siti is also a client of CAA. I hope you can favor her a little during the audition."

Nicita came to implement the package project. In addition to Ronald and Tom Cruise, he also wanted to put some supporting roles in the movie.

"Of course, she was the first choice of me and the two producers."

Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer also came to Ronald's apartment later. They brought several audition photos of the candidates they liked to play the pilot.

"This is Val Kilmer, this is Anthony Edwards, this is Emilio Estevez, and this is Tim Robbins." Bruckheimer put photos of several young male actors on the table.

"They are all full of hormones." Ronald noticed their square chins, "It's just that Emilio is a little hunchbacked, not very suitable for the role of a pilot."

"I don't plan to do a large-scale audition. The three of us will find the right candidates first, and then invite auditions." Don Simpson sniffed.

"Don, you know my rules, don't bring these things to my house." Ronald hated his habit and couldn't help but object.

"Okay, okay, I know you are clean, I won't be in front of you anymore." Don Simpson said and walked out of the apartment.

Bruckheimer also shrugged. His partner's behavior also made him uncomfortable, but America is a free country. Even as a good partner, he can't meddle in Simpson's business.

"Alysty will come to the studio for an audition tomorrow. Let's let her put on the uniform first. I have a feeling that she is the one we are looking for." Bruckheimer talked about the audition for the leading actress tomorrow.

"St. Elmo's Fire" directed by Joel Schumacher and written by Cameron Crowe has been filmed and wrapped, and several leading actors have been vacated.

Ronald and the two producers first chose Alisty, and Ronald also thought that Demi Moore was suitable for the role of Charlie, the flight instructor.

"St. Elmo's Fire" has finished filming, and the two leading actresses Alisty and Demi Moore can come for the audition.

...

"Very good, we need the feeling of a working girl."

In the studio of the two producers, Alisty put on a uniform, painted a big red lip, and sexy hair and black stockings, wearing high heels and a one-step skirt, twisting and turning to show herself in front of the camera.

The short hair to the shoulders and the soft facial features of a very standard white beauty make Alisty's sexiness reveal a hint of intellectual beauty.

In "St. Elmo's Fire", she played the role of a working girl. Now she has adjusted to a slightly mature look, and Ali Siti plays the role very naturally.

"When can I get the complete script of the movie?" Ali Siti came to ask Ronald, who was familiar with her, after finishing the audition.

"The complete script is still being revised and will be submitted to the Navy and Paramount for review." Ronald gave her a brief outline of the story, and then gave her a shortened version of the story that only related to Charlie played by Ali Siti.

"Doesn't that look like a big V?" Ali Siti hurriedly flipped through the script and said to Ronald in confusion.

"You can say that. This is originally a western movie with fighter jets dueling, good guys, bad guys, heroes, and beauties."

"Oh..." Ali Siti took the script and left.

...

Two days later, Ali Siti formally rejected the invitation from the "Top Gun" crew, saying that she was unwilling to play Charlie in this movie because of time conflicts.

"Her agent is from CAA, please help me make an appointment with her, and I will talk to her in person." Ronald was a little surprised to be rejected.

Although Ali Siti has played the leading role in two youth movies in a row, "The Breakfast Club" and "St. Elmo's Fire" have not yet been released. It is said that she does not have enough capital to refuse the leading role of Paramount's 15 million big production.

"Don't be like this, Ronald. Let's find another actress for the audition. I heard some rumors that Ali Siti is prejudiced against you. This bitch will not join the crew." After one day of not seeing Ali, Nicita has downgraded Ali from a rising star to a bitch.

"What prejudice?" Ronald was puzzled.

"Aili went to Emilio Estevez for consultation. Emilio comes from an actor family and has great prestige among those young actors. I also heard from Ali's agent." Nicita quietly revealed the story to Ronald.

Emilio Estevez was very angry with Ronald, who was also a young man. He thought Ronald was just lucky and knew nothing about performing arts. He could only shoot some shallow exploitation films.

His views influenced Ali Siti, and Ali, who was pursuing the path of acting, had an opinion on filming "Top Gun", a movie that did not require much acting skills and only required a beautiful appearance and a vase.

More importantly, Emilio Estevez told Ally a fact:

No one in Hollywood has made a fighter jet fight movie for 40 years, and it is very likely that this movie will fail at the box office.

In addition, Emilio was jealous of Tom Cruise's popularity and said a lot of bad things about Tom, such as he can't read scripts and may be illiterate.

Ally Siti knew that Emilio and Tom Cruise had acted together in the play "The Little Rascals", and she didn't doubt his words. She told her agent:

"No one will watch a large-scale v-movie with Tom Cruise flying a plane in the sky. I don't want to act in a 120-minute v-movie with him."

"If she really has no interest, she can just refuse the audition. Why did she come to the audition? After coming, she still said such things? Even if she has an opinion, can't she communicate with me first?"

Ronald was very angry. This Emilio always likes to gossip about him behind people's backs. Didn't he just beat him in table tennis on the crew and stopped him from playing a prank on Diane? Is it that serious?

"He thinks you have taken everything that originally belonged to him. You have achieved success at a young age, written your own scripts, directed your own movies, and dated Diane Lane, a teenage idol." Nicita saw it more accurately. "This eldest son of Martin Sheen must have very high expectations for himself."

"Shxt! How can someone have such an idea?" Ronald felt uncomfortable. "Then let's try Demi Moore."

"Hehe, isn't she Emilio's..." Nicita hesitated.

"What's wrong with her? She looks good in uniform... um... I mean her figure is suitable for uniform... I mean... her hoarse voice is more suitable."

Demi Moore came to the studio for an audition without telling her boyfriend Emilio Estevez.

"Very good, please face, sideways, and back to the camera to make an appearance respectively." Ronald directed Demi to make three appearances.

"This working girl uniform suits you very well, Demi." Ronald showed his face from behind the camera and said.

"Thank you, is this okay? You can ask for anything else I need." Demi Moore licked her lips with her tongue, and her hoarse voice was very sexy.

Ronald exchanged opinions with the two producers, "Charlie's identity in our script has not been finalized yet. If it's convenient for you, you can try this navy uniform."

"No problem," Demi came out of the dressing room a while later, wearing a dark blue navy uniform and a white navy hat, which further highlighted her excellent figure. She posed for the camera again.

With her back to the camera, Demi raised her hips intentionally or unintentionally, and the black silk thread inserted into the seam of the navy dress skirt seemed to send a signal of temptation to the audience.

"Is it okay for me to do this?" A hoarse voice came from Demi, and Ronald and the two producers changed one leg and raised it to the knee.

Obviously, Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer were also very satisfied with her.

"Very good, Demi, we have the result, and we will inform your agent. At that time, we will let you audition with the male lead candidate to see the chemical reaction."

Ronald got the signal of approval from the two producers and turned to Demi.

"Plop..." Demi seemed to be overly excited and fell to the ground.

"Demi, Demi..." Ronald stepped forward and patted her face.

Wow!

Ronald was shocked. Why was she foaming at the mouth?

He remembered that Demi had fainted in his apartment like this. This was an allergic reaction caused by a hereditary kidney problem.

"Call 911 for emergency assistance," Ronald said to Bruckheimer.

"Beep, beep..." The ambulance carried Demi Moore to the hospital, and Ronald followed behind and got in the car.

"I think she seems to be..." Don Simpson said to his partner Bruckheimer.

"That's not okay. If an actor does this on the set, we will have a big problem." Bruckheimer knew very well that it was one thing to be a partner producer, but if this happened to the main actor, the film would have to be scrapped and reshot, and no one could afford the cost.

"I remember you promised me not to touch these things that are harmful to the body."

Ronald scolded Demi who woke up by the bed.

"I..." Demi didn't expect Ronald to start with a cold word, "Isn't it the same in Hollywood? Remember Don Simpson, the producer of your movie? Isn't he the same as me?"

"So I won't let Simpson appear on the set and disrupt the rules of the set." Ronald added, "It's the same for everyone."

"Woo woo woo..." Demi cried regretfully, "I'm sorry, Ronald. I got addicted when I was filming a movie in Brazil. I want to change now. Can you give me a chance?"

"I can help you. If you really want to quit, I know a detox center that can help you quit completely in three months." Ronald told Demi Moore the plan he discussed with her agent.

Ronald admired Demi Moore's appearance, acting skills, and ambition, so he spent thousands of dollars to help her book a three-month treatment course at the detox center. But in this way, Demi could not catch up with the filming of "Top Gun".

"Thank you!" Demi buried her head in Ronald's shoulder, "I envy your girlfriend, she has someone like you who cares about her..."

"Hey, I just don't want to see a talented actress like you ruined. You have to pay me back for the money you spent on the alcohol rehabilitation center when you make money in the future." Ronald looked at Demi.

"Of course, how do you want me to pay you back?" Demi licked her lips again.

"Go to the alcohol rehabilitation center first, and then we'll talk about it after you're fully recovered." Ronald saw that she was completely sober, turned around and was about to leave, motioning Demi's agent outside the door to come in.

As soon as he turned around, Ronald found that his hand was still tightly held by Demi.

"What's wrong?"

"I beg you for one thing, Ronald. Don't tell Emilio Estevez about my affairs."

"What about you?" Ronald saw her lying in the hospital, wearing a hospital gown.

"Emilio is a fool. I can easily make him believe any story. This fool who overestimates his own ability even persuaded Ali Siti not to act in your movie. But thanks to him, if I hadn't had a physical problem, would this role belong to me?"

Demi Moore's eyes lit up and she stared at Ronald closely.

"It depends on your chemistry with Tom Cruise. You are not without competitors. Tom wants to recommend his girlfriend."

Ronald gently put Demi's hand into the quilt, "But you do have a great chance. We need a mature actress."

"Well..." Demi leaned on the pillow, "I won't give up. I will definitely be your heroine next time."
