Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Soon, Ronald confirmed the list of people who entered the final round of "Dirty Dancing" auditions.

Two men and two women.

Ronald and screenwriter Eleanor chose Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.

But due to union rules and the requirement of chemistry between actors, two substitutes were found.

The man was Billy Zane, who was called the new Marlon Brando by some people. The woman was Sara Jessica Parker, whom Ronald knew.

Sara was very happy to enter the final round of interviews. She and Robert Downey Jr. are boyfriend and girlfriend. They started out playing small roles together and now have reached a critical moment in each other's acting career.

Downey just worked with "American Sweetheart" Molly Ringwald in a romantic comedy "The Pickup Artist". He got the leading role in another movie, telling the story of how a young man who is deeply addicted to drugs goes to self-destruction.

Last year, Sara played in a Disney science fiction film "Flying Saucer Pilot", which tells the story of a little boy who has a navigation map of an alien flying saucer in his mind. Because of the light speed travel, the boy returned to the earth ten years later and still looked like a child. In the end, he was sent back to his childhood by a flying saucer.

Although Sarah is one of the heroines in the film, she is just an intern at NASA and pushed the plot forward at a critical moment.

Where can there be such a role as baby in "Dirty Dancing"? The whole play revolves around the girl's love impulse. If she can get this role, she and her boyfriend Donny can take another big step in their careers.

"We will let you cooperate with each other in the audition. Sarah, you will audition with Billy first, Jennifer and Patrick. Then we will switch groups and try again."

Ronald saw Sarah Jessica Parker and nodded to her.

This actress's acting skills are actually good, but her nose is really too big. She doesn't look like Jennifer Grey at all, but you can tell that she is Jewish.

The baby in this movie is still attractive, not just an ordinary girl.

"Oh, it's you." Jennifer Grey saw that it was Patrick Swayze and turned her face away.

"What's going on?" Ronald and screenwriter Eleanor looked at each other, as if they had some "history"?

The music sounded, it was the black swing music of the 1950s "Do You Love Me?"

With the accompaniment of the music, Grey and Sweets pressed tightly together, and the movements of the hips and buttocks were made at close range, and soon a blush climbed up her face.

Looking at Patrick Sweets again, he had a serious face, as if he didn't know Jennifer Grey at all.

"It seems that there is indeed a problem." Ronald saw that the two seemed to have had a real relationship.

But this is a good thing. The two originally played lovers, and now they have such real feelings, which is a very good thing for the filming of the movie.

However, Patrick Sweets is married, no wonder he pretended not to know each other.

The two danced a fast-paced dance, and then tried a slow-paced dance.

Ronald asked his assistant to use a camera to shoot all the shots. The chemistry between the two was visible to the naked eye, and it was estimated that everyone at the scene noticed it.

This problem also affected another pair of men and women who were auditioning. Sarah and Billy danced a little listlessly.

The two stopped dancing and chatted with each other for a few words, and then Sarah Jessica Parker asked for a pause.

Sarah slapped her face several times in the corner of the room. She couldn't just lose to the other party. Even if she lost, she had to fight for it.

Then the two began to dance again with the accompaniment of music. Ronald also asked his assistant to record it.

But sometimes, casting is not just about hard work. Ronald sighed as he looked at the two people who worked so hard.

When there was no comparison, Sarah and Billy looked okay. But there was the kind of love that could make people blush, which was a true performance that nothing could compare to.

According to the rules of the union, Ronald did not announce the result on the spot. He still asked the two to go back and wait for the call.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jennifer Grey pushed the door in angrily and closed it.

"Bang", the door made a loud noise, which scared Grey herself.

She walked straight to Ronald, ignoring her rival Sarah Jessica Parker, who was right beside her, and said, "It's either me or Patrick. You choose one."

Ronald shuddered with fear. Wasn't it affectionate just now? How did it become like this?

"Is it that one of us is proposing? Or does Grey want Sweets to divorce his wife and remarry?"

"Wait...wait..." Ronald quickly raised his hand to signal Jennifer Grey to stop, "This is not something you should decide. Go over there and calm down first."

Ronald pulled the screenwriter Eleanor over and asked her to go over and talk to Grey. He went out to find Patrick to find out the situation.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Billy Zane suddenly found that it seemed like an opportunity had come. After looking at each other, they walked out obediently and discussed how to get their agent to help them in this situation.

Ronald saw Patrick Sweets outside the door, leaning against the wall in silence, and walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

Seeing him turn around, Ronald handed him a cigarette from Eleanor and lit it for him.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"You know, after I finished filming The Outdoor Kids, I took on 'Red Dawn', and Jennifer Grey also played a role in it..."

Sweetie and Ronald put their heads together and talked about their grievances with Grey.

In the "Red Dawn" crew, director John Milius was very strict with young actors. He did not allow them to live in trailers, but to sleep in tents in the wild. Every night, the alarm was sounded to get them up urgently.

"Red Dawn" is a story about Soviet Union paratroopers parachuting into America and young men and women fighting guerrillas. Milius may have wanted to make the actors fit in as much as possible. But this kind of life is too harsh on actresses.

Jennifer Grey and Lea Thompson both played female guerrillas in it. Thompson was born in a poor family and worked since childhood, so these problems were not big.

Jennifer Grey's father, Joel Grey, was the supporting actor in the musical and the adapted film "Cabaret". With this role, he won the Oscar, Tony Award, and Grammy Awards in the 1960s and 1970s.

She had been a good girl to her father since she was young, and she had never seen such a scene. She cried every time she was left without any sanitary utensils. It was the charismatic actor Patrick Swayze who saved her.

From then on, the two began to become a temporary man and woman in the crew, helping each other to complete Grey's extremely difficult role.

However, after her role was completed, Grey wanted to stay with Swayze. Patrick's wife happened to come to visit the set, and Swayze didn't know how to tell Grey, but the two of them parted unhappily.

"You have a very good chemistry. If you can work together, it will be a movie that people will remember." After listening to the story, Ronald threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out with his foot.

It turned out to be a bloody story of the crew.

"Do you still want to play this role?" Ronald asked.

"Of course, after I read the script, I fell in love with the role of Johnny. In fact, Gray and I have a good chemistry, but I can't agree to his request. She is still a little girl psychologically, and I don't know how to explain it to her."

"You must know that the character Baby in the movie is also a little girl who has not yet been admitted to college. Johnny is more mature than Baby in the script. If you can't convince him, I find it hard to believe that you can convince me during the filming."

"I... I just didn't react for a while. She still remembers the things in "Red Dawn" so deeply."

"Then you go and talk to her alone. I don't care what you do. If you can't make Jennifer change her mind today, I will consider changing people. I don't care how Eleanor likes single-eyed macho men."

"Oh, yeah? This is not rare. I have seen many such simple rich girls." Sweets was inspired by Ronald.

"Very good, get her."

"How long has he been in?" Half an hour later, Ronald looked at his watch and asked the screenwriter Eleanor.

"It's been more than 20 minutes, and you've asked three times, Ronald. It seems that you're just talking, and you still hope that Sweets and Gray can co-star." Eleanor was shocked when she heard Ronald wanted Sweets to die if he didn't succeed.

Now it seems that Ronald is just motivating him to solve his personal problems with Gray.

"Squeak..." The door where the two actors were negotiating alone was opened.

Jennifer Gray's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her almond eyes were still filled with tears.

Unexpectedly, Patrick Sweets, who came out later, also had red eyes.

"You talked..." Ronald looked at Sweets' small eyes under his single eyelids, why did you cry too? Did the deal work out, or did it fail?

"I talked to Patrick, and I'm willing to act in this movie with him." Jennifer Gray looked at Patrick shyly.

Sweets was a little embarrassed and raised his collar to cover his neck. She lip-synced to Ronald, "I've got it done."

"Great," Ronald knew it was done, "Starting next week, Patrick, you'll be taking choreography training. I've found a great dancer to work with you."

"What about me?" Jennifer Grey was standing next to him, looking at Sweets and asking Ronald.

"You don't have to participate," Ronald replied.

"By the way, your father Joel is a dancer, right? I'll call him and tell him not to teach you dance during this period."

"Why?" Grey pouted, isn't this going to separate her and Sweets again?

"No reason, just do what I say."

"Oh."

Jennifer Grey seemed to have a better feeling for this man who treated her simply and roughly.

"By the way," Ronald remembered something when he dialed Joel Grey's number, and turned back to ask screenwriter Eleanor.

"Did the music director Danny Goldberg call? How is the negotiation of the copyright of his songs going? If not, I won't be able to use them during rehearsal."

"He just called and said he is still talking to people from major record companies and there is no progress for the time being. But it will be settled before filming."

"I have to call him too. What's going on? He always says it's almost settled." Ronald complained in a low voice.

Patrick Swayze heard this and seemed to have an idea. He wanted to go up and talk to Ronald, but he saw Jennifer Grey standing between him and Ronald and quickly stepped back.

Don’t make trouble again just after you’ve calmed her down.
