Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Helen Slater was soon notified that she had been selected to play Marty's girlfriend. She began to join the "Back to the Future" crew and began reading and rehearsing the script.

Ronald continued to visit old friends alone.

Jim Cameron is busy with the post-production special effects synthesis of "Terminator" and spends more than ten hours in the editing room every day. Fortunately, his girlfriend Gale Heard was very understanding of him at this time and did not clamor for him to go home to be with her like his ex-wife Sharon.

Cameron and his ex-wife have completed the divorce procedures, and it seems that Cameron will soon be able to marry Gail and go home.

Another old friend, the new film "St. Elmo's Fire" written by Cameron Crowe has finally confirmed the director, Joe Schumacher, who is two meters tall.

He originally entered the industry as an artist and worked his way up to art direction. "St. Elmo's Fire" is his first mid-level production as a director.

"Ronald, you have to help us, help your old friend Cameron." Joe Schumacher is a big man who speaks loudly and is very straightforward.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Ronald nodded to Crowe.

"Our biggest problem now is casting. This is a group film, Cameron has already told you. We need to find four handsome men and four beauties, all of whom are college classmates. You are the most familiar young man in Hollywood. The actor’s director.”

"Hey..." Ronald sighed after reading the script. These eight roles all require acting skills, and those like Helen Slater and Brooke Shields are not good enough. Among the actresses around me, it seems that only Diane Lane can do the job.

Since Ronald's "Fast-paced Richmond High" ushered in the era of teen movies in Hollywood, and through the expansion of films such as Coppola's "The Kid", now all seven major studios have invested in teen movies. Very high.

The problem is that there are not enough actors and actresses of the right age. Often an actor has to be competed by several movies. No one likes to train new people, but instead focuses on actors who have already proven their ability.

As the director who started this trend, Ronald has also become friends with many young actors. Now he is the target of many young film directors to please. If he says something, maybe the actor will choose his own movie.

"Four men and four women, haven't you managed any of them?" Where can we find eight famous actors?

"We just pick up after others," Cameron Crowe complained to Ronald, pouting at the office opposite.

"oh,

Is that John Hughes's office, when filming of "The Breakfast Club" begins? asked Ronald.

"Yes, he is also good at casting. I will keep an eye on him now. When he turns off his phone, I will go and grab people." Joe Schumacher said with a laugh.

There's no shame in admitting that you can't find the right actors, and if you don't have the right actors, you'd rather not direct the movie.

"Who do you have your eye on?" Ronald asked, "Molly Ringwald?"

This young red-haired actor was John Hughes's muse. When he saw Ringwald's photo, he could write a script for her.

"She's not yet an adult. I'm filming a college graduate, so I only looked for older actors there, those who pretend to be young and play high school students."

The two actors in "The Breakfast Club" were not considered because they were really about the age of high school students.

Ronald looked back at Cameron Crowe.

"That's Emilio Estevez, Andrew McCarthy, and Judd Nelson." Crowe replied.

"Are there two other acquaintances?" Ronald remembered Emilio, the eldest son of star Martin Sheen, and Andrew McCarthy, who had starred in Pepsi and Burger King commercials with Elizabeth Shue.

"The female character is also found from the opposite side, Ali Sheidi. We also need a handsome guy now, who is good-looking. And an actress with a more independent personality, who is beautiful, independent, and will chase boys in reverse. .”

Joe Schumacher named the candidate he wanted Ronald to help recommend. The other female character is not good-looking, and there is one who is slightly older than a college graduate, so they can handle it themselves.

"Have you found Tom Cruise?" Ronald was the first to think of this handsome guy. Don’t you want to be beautiful?

"We asked Paula, but she chose Tom for Ridley Scott's 'Legend.' He was the most suitable candidate. It's hard to find an actor as 'beautiful' as him."

"Beautiful" was not a common word used to describe an actor, and Ronald remembered hearing it mentioned somewhere.

By the way, "Where's Rob Lowe? Have you tried it? He's the one who played the middle brother "Soda" in Coppola's "The Kid". He's definitely a pretty boy, and girls won't even look at him. Those legs are so beautiful." Ronald thought of the actors he played ping pong with on the set.

"Let's get in touch right away." Joe Schumacher has never seen Rob Lowe, an actor more beautiful than Tom Cruise, but since Ronald recommended him, he would immediately arrange an audition.

"Girl, independent..." Ronald looked at the remaining actress candidate and thought about contacting Diane first. She had enough acting skills and could play any personality, but she had rejected him. Recommended roles.

"Ronald, you are here, hahaha. Congratulations." Ned Tanin, the former vice president of Universal and now the executive producer of the two crews, heard the secret from the secretary and hurried over to Ronald De said hello.

"Hello, Mr. Tanin, hahahaha..." Ronald hugged him in greeting. Looking at this conservative, somewhat old-fashioned and funny executive now, I can't help but think of Zemeckis giving his last name to the villain Biff in "Back to the Future."

"Call me Ned, Ronald. We are old friends." Tanin pulled Ronald away from Cameron Crowe and went to his office, pouring him a glass of fifteen-year-old Scotch whiskey. .

"Why are you free today? When are we going to make a movie together? I'm very optimistic about you."

"I'm here to see an old friend, Crowe, who was my co-writer on my debut film, 'Fast Times.'"

"If you ask me, it doesn't matter if you don't watch that exploitation film. It's just an old-fashioned story that completely copied the structure of 'The Big Chill'. But John Hughes' new film seems to be interesting. I heard many people around the world talking about Hughes. He is as talented as you.

Anyway, the cost was only one million dollars, so I let him do it. "Tan Ning drank the wine in his glass proudly.

Ronald smiled, he was not easy to criticize Crowe’s screenwriting work.

"How about you go and watch John Hughes's production for me? I'm absolutely confident in his screenwriting ability, but the box office of his last movie was severely suppressed by your 'Break Dance'. I I'm still a little worried. As long as you can nod, I can rest assured."

"There's nothing wrong with helping me, but I can't play the role of a producer. I don't want to interfere with other people's directing work." Ronald hadn't seen this colleague for a long time, but he still insisted on one principle. You just can’t use it as a backup to spy on others.

"What's the problem? Just go to the set and help me check it out. Just as a friend, okay?" Seeing Ronald relenting, Taning quickly finalized the matter.

"Let's go meet him first. He's auditioning for actors."

Ronald followed Tanin to the office opposite Cameron Crowe's crew.

The door was closed, and inside John Hughes was auditioning for another female role. "Okay, if there is any further news that requires you to come back for an audition, I will notify your agent."

Unlike "St. Elmo's Fire", "The Breakfast Club" tells the story of high school students. Five students from different backgrounds were punished at the same time for some things and went to school on Saturdays for solitary confinement.

In addition to his muse Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall, two actors who participated in "Sixteen Candles", John Hughes could not find more young actors for a while, so he had to cast The requirements are low, find adult actors to play the role of tenderness.

Actors Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, and actress Ally Sheedy were all overage to play high school students. Hughes wanted to imitate Ronald and Cameron Crowe. Take them back to high school to get a feel for it beforehand.

Speaking of which, the script of this movie was inspired by Cameron Crowe's "fast pace" and gave the male and female protagonists different labels to represent a typical type of high school students.

He has never decided whether "The Breakfast Club" should have five main characters or six. It was really difficult to find a suitable actress. I tried my best but couldn't find one. It would be better to just delete one female student. Three boys and two girls would make the story more compact.

"Okay, I get it." The auditioning actress felt Hughes's coldness. She knew that she didn't have much hope. The actress's way of fighting is to find a successful way in the despair of failed auditions again and again. hope.

"They seem to have finished the audition." Ronald and Tanin, who were resting in Joe Schumacher's office, heard the door open on the opposite side.

"Let's go talk to Hughes." Ronald greeted Crowe and went to the door with Ned Tanin, preparing to reunite with John Hughes.

"Kah...kah...kah" The actress in leather boots who failed the audition walked past the two of them. She walked out of the aisle, found a scooter made in Japan, then took out a helmet, flicked her long black hair, and was about to put it on.

Ronald was attracted by the footsteps, turned his head and saw this scene accidentally.

He stood still, looking at the seductive posture of this beauty and thinking, "So independent and beautiful, wouldn't it be perfect for the 'St. Elmo's Fire' over there?"

"Ronald, what's wrong with you?" Tanin and John Hughes opened the door and looked at Ronald without moving his legs, then looked at the actress.

"Oh..." John Hughes pushed up his big black-rimmed glasses, "Would you like me to introduce you to each other?"

"Demi, Demi!"

"What? Do you still have a role for me to play? I don't mind a small role." Came a slightly hoarse sexy voice. The motorcycle girl was none other than Ronald's old acquaintance, Demi Moore.

"Oh, shxt!" Demi just put down her helmet and saw Ronald across from her. "Ronald, is that you?" Demi couldn't help but think of the past. This man made her want to use her connections to get to the top and get the title of the protagonist. It's such a shame that the dream was shattered.

And he is so good now. Friends are talking about this talented director. If the "Longwei Boy" he starred in was so good, wouldn't his charm be much better than that young Elizabeth Su?

"It seems you have a 'history'," Tanin chuckled.

"She was an advertising model for my early photography business," Ronald explained. "Demi!"

He stopped Demi Moore and walked up to her with long black hair, "There is another movie here, you can try it."
