Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"I don't want Emilio Estevez. This guy has a hunchback and his acting skills are relatively superficial. The most important thing is that he has no hormones. Pilots are all male hormone-filled roles. He is not suitable..."

In Don Simpson's mansion, Ronald talked to the two producers and gave a lot of reasons for not wanting Estevez.

"Ronald..." Jerry Bruckheimer was standing next to him, trying to stop him.

"Really, the supporting actors in this movie will make the female audience scream. Emilio's hunchback is like a big turtle. He can't show off his strong upper body even if he takes off his shirt. We have to find those who It can be published in women's magazines..."

"Ronald, you are right, but Emilio Estevez has declined the audition invitation." Don Simpson couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Ronald's rambling, "We are the most important We have already hired Val Kilmer to audition for the supporting actor role of Iceman, and we will definitely not use anyone from the Estevez family.”

"Ahem..." Ronald suddenly stopped, picked up the water glass and took a sip of water to cover up, "Von Kilmer, is he willing to play such a role?"

The rising star, who had just starred in the comedy "Top Secret," directed by Jerry Zucker, a trio of Ronald acquaintances, was in high spirits. Ronald was a little allergic to the mentality of rising actors who "want to take on meaningful roles."

"Let's see first. As long as the requirements are met, we have a way to make him submit."

…

"Please face, sideways, and back to the camera and make some movements."

"There is no blind spot for a handsome guy from any angle." Val Kilmer chewed gum and actually posed for the camera in a self-appreciative pose.

Val Kilmer's hormones are indeed over the top. He is a classic American handsome boy with a square chin. At first glance, he looks like a bad guy who has a very high self-esteem and no acting skills at all.

But what's better about him than Estevez is that he looks like a bad guy and looks the same. In this way, in some movies such as "Top Gun" that do not require acting skills, he can still play a major supporting role and appear in his true colors, which is convincing.

Val Kilmer's hairstyle is one of the most popular recently. The bangs in the front are set high with mousse, the long hair in the back hangs down to the neckline, and the sideburns on both sides are cut high, which looks a bit American. The style of a resident warrior.

The light blond hair color seems to be natural. Paired with the vertical striped shirt and dark blue jacket, he is indeed handsome and can't stand his legs.

At least that's what his girlfriend, the famous singer and actress Cher, thinks.

For this thirty-eight-year-old star, time has been very kind to her, leaving no wrinkles on her face. She was wearing a black and white plaid skirt, a leather jacket and leather boots, and a long black and white plaid scarf around her neck. She was waiting for her little boyfriend Val Kilmer outside the audition room.

"We have further news and will notify your agent." Ronald opened the door and let Kilmer out, "Hi, Cher. Long time no see."

"Talk to my agent." Val Kilmer didn't have much respect for Ronald, like a casting director, and he wanted Cher to go with him. Anyway, he didn't want to act in such a big V movie.

"I had a few words with Ronald. We met before." Cher had experienced ups and downs and knew that Ronald was a very good-tempered director, but her boyfriend's attitude was indeed rude.

Fang Kilmer stood up his collar, glanced at Ronald sideways, and walked outside, "Then I'll go get the car first."

"Ronald, the last time I saw you, you were still casting for your debut film. Now you are a big director. It was only after I made a few movies that I realized that you are a talented director." Cher has the aura of a star. , Ronald felt respected as soon as he came up.

"I saw your acting skills in 'The Silkwood Incident'. It seems that you are top-notch both as a singer and an actor. You are well-deserved for the Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress."

Ronald and this kind of great success in other fields turned into actors, very respected. Being successful in a field is not accidental.

"Von Kilmer is a talented young man..."

"..." Ronald looked at Xueer's leather jacket and was stunned.

"He is a bit arrogant towards others..."

"Ah, what about that, the producer will have the final say."

"That's it? Bye." Seeing that Ronald didn't want to talk, Cher came up and hugged him, then walked out quickly. Fang Kilmer was already honking the horn impatiently outside the door.

"Bye-Bye……"

"It turns out it's true." Ronald touched his chest and recalled the feeling. "It turns out I was right. Cher was really not wearing underwear. She was wearing a black lace see-through outfit under her leather jacket. Out of the way. She is truly a unique and shocking woman.

"How is he?" Ronald asked Don Simpson as he came in.

"Very good, it is most suitable for him to play the Iceman."

"I think he doesn't seem to want to act."

"It's not up to him whether he wants to or not. He signed a two-film contract with Paramount. The contract stipulates that he must act. He is not Helen Slater, and his girlfriend Cher does not have many connections in Hollywood."

"Okay..." Ronald continued to look at the audition schedule in his hand, "Next, Tim Robbins..."

In the evening, Ronald started working in the apartment with photos of the supporting actors selected by the two producers. He posted the audition photos on the whiteboard one by one. The hero is the sworn enemy of Iceman played by Val Kilmer.

One of the two characters believes in theory and is extremely calm, so he got the call sign of the Iceman. The other believes in intuition and acts on instinct, so he got the call sign of the Lone Ranger. They are two extremes.

Little Bud brought in a pot of black tea and a box of word biscuits, and saw Ronald still working late into the night, writing something on the whiteboard from time to time.

He watched for a long time and finally said, "Have some hot tea first, Ronnie. Aunt Karen told me that I can't let you work too hard. I didn't expect that filming is such a high-intensity job. It's almost Christmas, and you're still working seven or eight hours a day.

"Bud, come and have tea with me." Ronald pulled out a chair and asked little Bud to sit down. "Director Akira Kurosawa encouraged me to work hard. He is so old, and when he was preparing for a new film, he also discussed the plot with the screenwriter team for seven or eight hours a day. This industry is like this, and it's very busy when it's busy. "After the two finished their snacks, Ronald continued to work until late at night.

The Christmas and New Year holidays passed in a busy manner, and Ronald had basically selected all the supporting actors.

On the second day of the New Year, Ronald and the two producers led all the male actors to the Miramar Naval Air Base.

"This is the F-14A Tomcat fighter, which is the new fighter you are driving in the movie. Because of the need for real shooting, we have to conduct adaptive training. Everyone has the opportunity to experience flying."

Retired Navy Colonel Pilot, Pete Pettigrew introduced the situation to the male actors.

"Today is just an appetizer. Take turns to board these three fighters and experience the feeling of a naval aviation pilot. After that, you will receive the same training as real pilots until you can be as good as the pilot boy. ”

The three fighters were all active Navy fighter pilots, who were grinning at a group of arrogant Hollywood actors, eager to see who would be the first to fall into the trap and let them enjoy a feast.

“The Lone Ranger goes first,” Don Simpson saw that everyone was a little scared, so he called Tom Cruise’s name. He had been on a fighter and was still learning to fly, giving the remaining actors a little challenge.

“No problem, watch out, guys.” Tom Cruise looked proud, put on a flight helmet, and boarded one of the fighters.

“Take it easy, bozo.” Pete Pettigrew told the carefree pilot.

“What did you call him?” Ronald was afraid that he had heard it wrong, so he quickly asked Pettigrew again.

“Bozo, that’s his call sign.”

“Why is it called that? "Ronald couldn't help wondering in his heart, looking at the idiot who gave a thumbs up, and Tom Cruise who was smiling brightly in the back seat, wanting to set an example for the male actors.

"Whoosh...whoosh...", the two black engine tail nozzles of the f-14a opened one after another, and with a huge noise, flames were sprayed backwards, and the flames suddenly increased, and the idiot's plane took off with a short-distance afterburner.

"Oh, it's really exciting." Tom Cruise, who was flying in the f-14a Tomcat for the first time, shouted in the back seat.

"Did you see the vomit bag?" Bozo asked Tom in the back seat.

"I brought it, here..." Tom Cruise leaned over to pick it up.

"Woo..." The idiot pulled the joystick, and the f-14a raised its head and began to accelerate upwards with full force.

The huge g-force pressed Tom Cruise tightly to the floor. His head was pressed between his legs and he couldn't move.

"It took off so hard, are you okay? "Ronald looked up at the plane that disappeared in the sky and asked Pete Pettigrew.

"Shxt!" Pete Pettigrew cursed secretly, "The idiot is making trouble again. The pilot is not very friendly to you Hollywood people. Maybe he wants to give the boy a little power."

"Boom..." The F-14A came back and made a low-altitude pass, and finally turned around and stopped steadily on the tarmac.

"Danit, what are you doing? I was not ready at the back, and my head was pressed between my legs by the g force. "Tom Cruise recovered from the uncomfortable posture, fortunately he did not vomit this time, "I said why you pulled up so quickly. "

"You are right, you are not ready. "The idiot was smug in front, "Don't you think about why they call me a idiot (bozo)? "

"Shxt! "Tom Cruise paused for a while, then opened the canopy, smiled at Val Kilmer and other actors, and pretended to be very happy and said, "Hey, it's so exciting, why don't you come up and play?"

"Ugh..."

Val Kilmer also got on Bozo's plane, and after getting off, he grabbed the vomit bag and vomited on the ground.

"You have to get used to it, just fly more." Tom Cruise said beside him.

"I can't... Ugh..."

"Let that idiot come and talk to me, I think he is very suitable to be a stunt pilot in the movie." Ronald saw that this pilot made the two male protagonists embarrassed and his flying style was also very aggressive, so he had an idea.

"He said that he would only agree if you go up and try it." Pete Pettigrew and Bozo exchanged a few words and said to Ronald.

"Come on," Ronald fastened his seat belt, put on his oxygen mask, and said to the front.

"What did you say? I can't hear you clearly?" Bozo pretended not to hear.

"I say..." Ronald took off his mask and was about to say something when he felt a push from his back for emergency takeoff. He was so scared that he quickly swallowed his words and prepared himself.

After a series of somersaults and barrel rolls, the plane landed back on the apron.

"You're good. Don't you want to be a pilot?" Among these Hollywood trainees, the fool only looked at Ronald, who was not afraid of being scared, and didn't vomit.

"So, you are willing to be my stunt pilot?"

"No problem. It's my wish to let the audience see real flying skills." The fool is not stupid. He just often does some extraordinary things. Although he has first-class skills, he has not been promoted.

"Well, the producer will talk to you later. There will be a good subsidy." Ronald pushed open the cockpit, "Come one by one, everyone choose a fighter, and fly it today to try it out. If you can't bear the flight, you can tell me, and we won't arrange your real shots."

"Boom..." The male supporting actors dispersed and lined up in front of the other two f-14as.

"Are you really not dizzy or vomiting?" Tom Cruise came up and whispered to Ronald, "This pilot is very powerful, luckily I am smart."

"It's okay, I didn't wear an oxygen mask. I see that their fighter pilots don't follow the manual very well. Maybe it's better for you not to wear one in the future, so that the audience can see your face." Ronald gestured to Cruise with a mask, "Besides, if you vomit, you can vomit in the helmet, not in the oxygen mask, which is too disgusting."

"Ugh... Ugh..." Val Kilmer, who was resting with a pale face next to him, was disgusted by Ronald's words and started to vomit with a vomit bag again.

"Hahaha..." Ronald and Tom Cruise smiled at each other.
