Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 216 The actor is in place

"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 take a look first. As long as it meets the requirements, we have a way to make him submit."

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

"A handsome guy has no blind spots from any angle." Val Kilmer chewed gum and actually showed his self-appreciation to the camera.

Val Kilmer's hormones are really 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 exactly 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 his girlfriend, the famous singer and actress Cher,

I think so.

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 with leather boots, and a long black and white plaid scarf just right 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 music video movie.

"I have a few words with Ronald. We have met before." Cher has experienced ups and downs and knows that Ronald is a very good-tempered director, but her little boyfriend's attitude is really impolite.

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

"Ronald, 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 to be nominated for the Oscar 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. Val 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 really wasn't 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 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, and wrote the call signs of the characters below. In the flight school, the Lone Ranger played by Tom Cruise and the Iceman played by Val Kilmer were mortal enemies.

One of the two characters believes in theory and is extremely calm, so he got the call sign of Iceman. A person who trusts his intuition, acts on instinct, and gets the call sign of the Lone Ranger is exactly the two extremes.

Little Bud brought in a pot of black tea and a box of biscuits, and saw that Ronald was still burning the midnight oil, writing something on the whiteboard from time to time.

He watched for a long time and finally said, "Drink some hot tea first, Ronnie. Aunt Karen told me not to make you work too hard. I didn't expect that making a movie is such a high-intensity work. It's fast." It’s 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. At such an old age, When preparing for a new film, I also discuss the plot with the screenwriter team for seven or eight hours a day. This is what this industry is like, it is very busy when you are busy." After the two had snacks, Ronald continued to work until late at night.

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

On the second day of the new year, Ronald, together with two producers, led all the male actors to Miramar Naval Air Base.

"This is the F-14A Tomcat fighter jet, which is the new fighter jet you fly in the movie. Because of the need for real shooting, we need to conduct adaptive training. Everyone will have the opportunity to go up and experience flying."

Retired Navy colonel pilot, Pete Pettigrew is introducing the situation to the actors.

"Today is just an appetizer. Take turns flying on these three fighter jets to experience what it's like to be a naval aviation pilot. After that, you will receive the same training as real pilots until you can be as good as the young pilots."

The three fighter jets were all active naval fighter pilots, smiling as they looked at a group of arrogant Hollywood actors, eagerly waiting for who would be the first to surrender and let them enjoy a feast.

"The Lone Ranger will go first." Don Simpson saw that everyone was a little scared, so he called the name of Tom Cruise. He had already been on a fighter jet and was still learning to fly, giving the remaining actors a little challenge.

"No problem, keep an eye on it, guys." Tom Cruise looked proud, put on his flight helmet, and boarded one of the fighter jets.

"Take it easy, bozo," Peter Pettigrew told the careless pilot.

"What did you call him?" Ronald was afraid that he heard wrongly, so he quickly asked Pettigrew again.

"Bozo, that's his call sign."

"Why is it called this call sign?" Ronald couldn't help but wonder, looking at the idiot giving a thumbs up and smiling brightly in the back seat, trying to set an example for the actors.

"Huh...huh...", the two black engine tail nozzles of the F-14a opened one after another, and with a huge noise, flames were sprayed backwards. The flames suddenly increased in size, and the idiot's aircraft accelerated in a short distance. The force takes off.

"Oh, it's so exciting." Tom Cruise, who was flying on the F-14A Tomcat for the first time, exclaimed from the back seat.

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

"I've got it, here it is..." Tom Cruise leaned over to pick it up.

"Ugh..." The idiot pulled the joystick, and the F-14a raised its head and began to accelerate upward at full speed.

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

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

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

"Boom..." The F-14a went away and came back, making a low-altitude pass, and finally turned around and stopped steadily on the apron.

"Damn it, what are you doing? I wasn't ready from behind, and my head was pressed between my legs by g-force." Tom Cruise recovered from that uncomfortable position, but fortunately he didn't vomit this time, "I said How did you get promoted so quickly?"

"You're right, you're not ready." The fool said proudly, "Don't you think about why they call me Bozo?"

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

"vomit……"

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

"You have to get used to it and fly more." Tom Cruise said next to him.

"I won't... vomit..."

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

"He said he wanted you to go up and give it a try before he agreed." Pete Pettigrew exchanged a few words with the fool and said to Ronald.

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

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

"I said..." Ronald took off his mask, and just as he was about to say something, he felt an emergency push on his back, which frightened Ronald to quickly swallow his words and get ready.

After a series of buckets and barrel rolls, the plane came back to the tarmac.

"You're not bad, haven't you ever wanted to be a pilot?" Among these Hollywood trainees, Ronald was the only fool who didn't vomit and was not afraid of being frightened.

"So, you want to be my stunt pilot?"

"No problem, it's my wish to let the audience see real flying skills." The idiot is not stupid, he just often does extraordinary things. Although his skills are first-rate, he has not been promoted.

"Okay, the producer will talk to you later, and there will be a good subsidy." Ronald pushed open the cockpit, "Come one by one, everyone chooses a fighter jet, and they will all fly it today and try it out. If you can't bear it, Those who fly, you can tell me and we won’t arrange any live shots for you.”

"Boom..." The 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, but fortunately I am smart."

"It's okay, I didn't wear an oxygen mask. I think their fighter pilots don't follow the manual very much. Maybe it's better if you don't wear one in the future so the audience can see your face." Ronald made a mask for Cruise "Besides, if you vomit, you can vomit in the helmet instead of the oxygen mask, it's too disgusting."

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

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