Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"This is the venue where I shoot flying photos. I have to come here every other day to learn how to hang a wire to shoot." Helen took Ronald to visit the super large studio the next morning.

The next morning, Ronald was dragged by Helen to visit her various sets and scenes on the set of "Supergirl."

"So high? Why don't you use a stand-in?" Ronald looked at the high crane and couldn't help but feel scared. He glanced at Helen worriedly.

"Isn't the substitute unrealistic enough?" Helen held Ronald's hand and said, "I made the flying movements myself so that the close-up shots wouldn't be distorted."

"I don't understand. In fact, it can be dealt with through editing. I'm not saying there will be any accidents. Even if the actor has the skills, such dangerous actions should not be filmed by the actor."

"Okay, okay, this is how the Superman series is filmed. I also wanted to act more realistically. At the beginning, I didn't dare to hang up the wire. Later, it was Peter who asked me to let go of life and death and bravely I risked my life and finally completed the rehearsal of flying movements."

"Peter?"

"Mr. O'Toole."

"Helen, promise me, if you think it's dangerous to perform an action, don't worry about those bullshit about letting go of life and death. Protecting yourself is the most important thing. If you think it's too difficult, just call a substitute. This is a Hollywood law..."

"That's why Hollywood can't make good movies." A thin, middle-aged actor, carrying a bottle of wine, interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Oh, Peter." When Helen saw it was Peter O'Toole, who played Supergirl's old mentor in the movie, she hugged him and said hello, "Peter, this is Ronald, Ronald, this is Peter."

"Hello Mr. O'Toole, why do you Britons have a habit of drinking in the morning?"

Ronald was naturally a little disgusted with this old handsome guy. He gave Helen a line lesson and encouraged her to go into battle herself without a substitute. It looked like they were very familiar with each other.

Moreover, an actor was holding a bottle of liquor during breakfast, and he seemed to be quite addicted to alcohol.

"Kick out Fat Jack, and kick out the whole world." Peter O'Toole picked up the fat, belly-shaped wine bottle, shook it at Ronald, and said a line slowly, which sounded like something from a Shakespeare play.

"Falstaff in Henry IV?" Helen Slater asked Peter O'Toole with a curious look in her eyes.

"Yeah, who would watch Henry IV if Falstaff wasn't in Henry IV?"

"Damn it," Ronald cursed angrily in a low voice. He couldn't understand what this handsome old drunkard said at all, and he didn't know what he was talking about. I only know that he seems to be a comic character in Shakespeare's play "Henry IV".

Ronald, who was born in Yeluzi, suddenly felt that he was very uneducated when faced with British actors with a background in Shakespeare's drama. He couldn't catch what they said, and he didn't know if they were laughing at him or if there was something profound about him.

"So you are also in the film industry, Ronald?" Seeing that Ronald was silent, O'Toole knew that he might not be familiar with Shakespeare, so he changed his tone of voice and started chatting with him.

"Yeah, I'm actually a director, shooting some small productions in Hollywood."

"Ronald is very powerful. His debut film sold 40 million US dollars at the box office. Moreover, he taught me how to audition for the role of Superwoman." Helen took Ronald's arm and offered her boyfriend Increase your face.

"Oh, that's really good. But you two sweet little sparrows have to forgive me, I have to make some breakfast for my little Falstaff." O'Toole nodded to Ronald and went to the restaurant on the Pinewood set for dinner. went.

"Let's go eat too, the waffles there are delicious." Helen also took Ronald to the restaurant.

"Why, are you still jealous of Peter? Helen took a piece of muffin and ate it. She exercised intensively every day, which allowed her to relax her diet properly during this period, which was very enjoyable.

"No, I just don't like that British actors also speak Shakespeare accent in their daily lives. It seems that I don't understand." Ronald smiled, touched Helen's hand and said softly.

Snap, Helen gently hit Ronald's hand, "This is the ability that our American actors crave. They all graduated from Cambridge and Oxford and have been engaged in drama performances very early. In their hands, acting has become An art."

"I don't know. For me, there is no need for this kind of accent in movie performances. As long as it is close to life and makes the audience feel that this is how the character speaks in life. For example, Supergirl, she came to the country of America on Earth to do ordinary things. How can a high school girl speak with a Shakespearean accent?"

"Hmm... um..." Helen hit Ronald hard and fast a few times. She was a little unhappy that Ronald was so disparaging of the actors' acting abilities, as if making a movie only requires a few good-looking actors in front of the camera. Just smile.

But what my boyfriend said is not completely unreasonable. The performance in the movie is indeed different from the performance in the drama, and it cannot be copied completely. After several years of training at the New York Academy of Performing Arts, Helen always had a high regard for actors who could perform Shakespeare's plays. When they rehearsed in school, they always came up short.

"Ronald, Ronald!" The CAA assistant who came to pick up Ronald yesterday appeared at the Pinewood Studio again. He saw Ronald running over.

"Is there a problem?"

"One of your investors came to me through the Los Angeles office and asked you to call him back. He is now in Israel, his name is Minahan."

"Oh?" Ronald took the note handed by his assistant, with Minahan's phone number in Israel written on it.

"Did he say something?" Ronald was a little confused. Why was Minahan looking for him at this time?

The assistant shook his head and said, "I don't know. I'll make a long-distance call for you. Once the call is connected, I'll call you."

"Who is looking for you?" Helen asked.

"It's Minahan, the boss of Cannon Pictures. He invested in my new movie. He didn't know what to ask me for. He looked very anxious."

"Cannon Pictures, the one you said makes funny movies?"

"Yeah, that's him," Ronald told Helen the ins and outs of financing.

"Ronald, the call has been connected." The assistant came over and called Ronald.

"I'll go for a minute." Ronald wiped his mouth with a napkin and went over to answer Minahan's call.

"Minahan, are you still in Israel? What time is it there? What do you want from me?"

"Don't worry about the time. I have a big problem here. I need you. Come to Israel, otherwise we won't be able to film 'Sahara'."

"Wait, wait, what's the problem? What does it have to do with me? Can I solve it if I go there?"

"Brooke Shields' mother Terry had a big conflict with the director, and I had to come over to mediate. Now I have fired the director and I am taking on the director's job concurrently, but Terry is still unwilling to cooperate. Brooke said that she would ask you to mediate. , her mother is more obedient to you."

"But I'm still on vacation, I'm here in London with my girlfriend."

"Don't worry about it, Ronald. I invested money in your movie without asking a word, and even helped you underwrite overseas theaters. Now that there is a problem with my 25 million big production, you have to come. Do me a favor.

I beg you, this is a big production that will go down in history. Now that I have encountered a problem that no one can solve except you, you have to come. This not only helps me, but also does the film art a big favor. "

The sound quality of the long-distance call was not good, and Minahan's voice sounded particularly anxious under the buzzing noise of electricity.

"Oh, okay, I'll leave for Israel as soon as possible." Gu Ji

Returning to his seat, Ronald saw another lady sitting next to Helen, and he smiled with a bad feeling. This kind of smile usually appears more on the faces of male actors. When women smile like this, it feels strange and a little fresh.

"Helen, Minahan came to me to solve the problem. His 25 million big production encountered a big problem, and I had to help him. After all, he invested in my movie without asking any questions."

"Oh, okay. You were going back to America anyway." Helen tilted her head and kissed Ronald. "Let me introduce to you, this is Ms. Faye Dunaway, who plays the villain in the movie."

"Hello," Ronald extended his hand to greet her.

"Are you talking about Minahan? Is it that pig?" Dunaway made a pig-headed face.

"Um, Minahan Golan from Cannon Pictures. If you're saying he's on the fat side, I can't argue with that."

"Yeah, it's this fat pig. He tricked me into playing 'The Wicked Lady'. It was originally a heroine movie. After I finished filming, he didn't tell me and secretly added a lot of eroticism to the supporting role. The drama can’t even be rated R now.”

Faye Dunaway made a disgusting gesture "Uh... Bah..."

"Uh, I don't know about that." Ronald imagined Minahan's personality, and it was not impossible for him to do this little thing of substituting things for sex.

"No, you know. I heard from Helen that you are also an exploitation film maker. How could I not know these tricks of yours?"

Ronald put down the napkin heavily. He didn't want to quarrel with the main supporting character in Helen's movie. He would leave in two days and not let the relationship between Helen and this crazy woman become tense.

Ronald got up and went to get some bread and bacon. When he came back, Dunaway had left the table.

"What happened to her?" Ronald asked Helen, pointing to his brain.

"She is there every morning...sometimes on the set in the afternoon..." Helen leaned into Ronald's ear and told him that Faye Dunaway had a habit of abusing drugs and that the temper on the set was not very stable. Everyone knows about her "hobby".

After breakfast, Helen began her daily exercise and rehearsals with other actors.

Ronald was wandering around the Pinewood Studio alone. He was really bored and started reading interviews with directors. There were many interviews with famous directors to pass the time.

When Helen returned from fencing in the afternoon, Ronald helped her change her clothes diligently, and the two of them walked along the path in the pine forest and talked about their farewells.

"I'm going to Israel soon. I really want to see you again soon. You filmed Supergirl and it took you so long to join the set. I really miss you." Ronald lifted Helen's long, dyed blonde hair. , said softly.

"That's what actors are like. I miss you too." Helen hid her face in Ronald's chest.

"When you finish filming Supergirl and return to New York, we will have time to spend time together." Ronald patted Helen on the back.

"Really? In fact, we just need to seize the moment. I like you and you like me. Isn't that good?"

"Of course." Ronald lowered his head and looked into Helen's eyes, "Why do you think so?"

"No, Ronald. Of course I like you, I just think it's not that easy to be together in the entertainment industry. You see, we have been apart for so long before we have the opportunity to get together. As long as we treat each other sincerely, it will be very easy." OK."

Helen's two big blue eyes flashed very movingly, but her words were not so beautiful.

Ronald frowned, not knowing who had instilled in her the fallacy that seizing the moment is good. Of course, if you like each other, you must be together, and then get married and have children. It is not easy to find someone who truly likes each other.

"Of course, or I will prove it to you." Ronald picked up Helen and walked to the hotel.

"Hahaha, I believe in you, I believe in you...let me down."

After the night of passion, Ronald sat on the sofa and hugged Helen, "Why did you say that this afternoon? Is there something wrong?"

"You know my parents were divorced. They were so loving in the past, but they finally broke up. I have always felt that good relationships have a shelf life and will not last long. Look at Faye Dunaway and Mia Farrow, they are all actresses , and they didn’t get to the end with their first husband.”

"But there are also model couples in the entertainment industry, right?"

"I don't know. Anyway, if you have other loved ones, you must tell me frankly." Helen rubbed Ronald's lips with her hand and said slowly.

"I only like you, Helen. Love is not like moonlight, with full moon and new moon. It can also last for a long time."

"Well..." Helen's answer turned into a passionate kiss.

…

"I have to go to Israel to save the situation. Just be obedient here and wait until I'm done with my work before I come to London to visit." The two spent a few days happily together, and it was time for Ronald to leave for the airport.

He and Helen hugged each other and confided in each other.

"After exercising, don't go on a diet. I really like your figure."

"Um……"

"Stop thinking about Shakespeare's lines and listen more to the director."

"Um……"

"Also, if there are dangerous moves, a substitute must be allowed to complete them."

"Um……"

"So, that's it? Goodbye?" Ronald said everything he wanted to say.

"Well, I'll wait for you to come see me again." Helen kissed Ronald and opened the car door for him.

Ronald waved to Helen, and CAA's assistant drove on the road.

Helen stood on the side of the road, touched her lips, thought about it, and turned back to the set. The filming of "Supergirl" is about to begin. I heard from the director that the filming of the stunt scenes is very time-consuming and may take more than half a year to be filmed here.

"Did you find my luggage?" Ronald looked for his luggage at the airport information desk.

"Sir, I found it. He was mistakenly assigned to the previous stop on the flight you came from. Please sign here to collect it."

"Finally I found it. I don't have to go back to Israel to buy clothes."

The plane took off and flew to Tel Aviv, Israel.
