Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Chapter 363 With me or without him

Soon, Ronald was shortlisted for the final round of auditions for "Dirty Dancing."

Two men and two women.

Of course, Ronald and screenwriter Eleanor were interested in Patrick Thwaites and Jennifer Grey.

However, due to union rules and the requirement for chemical reaction between actors, two people were hired as substitutes.

The man is Billy Zane, dubbed by some as the new Marlon Brando. The woman was someone Ronald knew, Sarah Jessica Parker.

Sarah was excited to make it to the final round of interviews. She and Robert Downey Jr. are boyfriend and girlfriend. The two started playing small roles together and have now reached a critical moment in each other's acting careers.

Downey just starred in the romantic comedy "The Pickup Expert" with America's sweetheart, Molly Ringwald. I got the leading role in another movie, telling the story of how a young man trapped in addiction leads to self-destruction.

Last year, Sarah starred in Disney's science fiction film "UFO Pilot", which is the story of a little boy who has a navigation map of an alien flying saucer in his head. Because the boy traveled at the speed of light, he returned to Earth ten years later and still looked like a child. Finally, he was sent back to his childhood by a flying saucer.

Although Sara is one of the heroines in it, she is just an intern at NASA, and she promotes the plot at critical moments.

Is there any scene like the baby in "Dirty Dancing"? The whole play revolves around the girl's love impulse. If you can get this role, you and your boyfriend Downey will be able to reach a new level in your career.

"We'll have you audition against each other, Sarah you go with Billy first, and Jennifer and Patrick. Then we'll switch combinations and try again."

Ronald spotted Sarah Jessica Parker and nodded to her.

This actress is actually good at acting, but her nose is a bit too big. Not at all like Jennifer Grey, just visibly Jewish.

The baby in this movie still needs to be attractive, not just an ordinary girl.

"Oh, it's you." Jennifer Gray turned her face when she saw it was Patrick Swayze.

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

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

Gray, accompanied by music,

She was close to Sweets, and the movements of her hips and buttocks were made at close range, and soon a blush of embarrassment crept onto her face.

Looking at Patrick Swayze, he looked serious, as if he didn't know Jennifer Gray at all.

"There does seem to be something wrong." Ronald could tell that the two of them seemed to have been in love.

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

However, Patrick Thwaites was married, so no wonder he pretended not to know him.

The two danced a fast one, and then tried a slower one.

Ronald asked his assistant to capture all the scenes with a camera. The chemical reaction between the two was visible to the naked eye, and everyone at the scene probably noticed it.

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

The two stopped dancing and exchanged a few words before Sarah Jessica Parker asked for a timeout.

Sara slapped herself in the face several times in the corner of the room. She couldn't just lose to the opponent. Even if she lost, she would have to go through a struggle.

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

But sometimes, casting is not about hard work. Ronald looked at the two people working hard and sighed.

Without comparison, Sarah and Billy look fine. But there is the kind of love that can make people blush, and this is an authentic performance that cannot be compared to anything else.

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

As soon as she finished speaking, Jennifer Gray pushed the door in angrily and closed the door.

"Bang", the door made a loud noise, startling Gray himself.

Ignoring that her rival Sarah Jessica Parker was right next to her, she walked straight to Ronald and said, "Patrick and I can either have him or me, you choose one."

Ronald trembled with fright. Wasn't he full of affection just now? How did it get to this point?

"Could it be that one party's courtship failed? Or did Gray want Sweets to stop his wife and remarry?"

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

Ronald pulled the screenwriter Eleanor and asked her to go over and chat with Gray to set up a story. Go out and find Patrick to find out the situation.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Billy Zane suddenly realized that an opportunity seemed to have come. After the two looked 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 that came from Eleanor and lit it for him.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"You know, after I finished the film Outdoor Urchin, I then took on 'Red Dawn,' and Jennifer Gray also played a role in it..."

Sweets and Ronald put their heads together and talked about their grudges with Gray.

On the set of "Red Dawn", director John Milius was very strict with the young actors and did not let them live in trailers. Instead, they set up tents to sleep in the wild. The alarm was sounded at midnight every day to wake 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 tried to make the actors fit into the situation as much as possible. But this life is too harsh on actresses.

Jennifer Gray and Leigh Thompson both played female guerrillas in it. Thompson comes from a poor background and has been working since he was a child. These problems are not big.

Jennifer Gray's father, Joel Gray, was a supporting actor in the musical and the film adaptation of "Cabaret." For this role, he won an Oscar, a Tony Award, and a Grammy in the 1960s and 1970s. Three awards.

She has been a good daughter of her father since she was a child, but she has never seen such a battle. Every time she was fucked without any sanitary utensils, she cried loudly. It was the charming actor Patrick Swayze who saved her.

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

But after her part was completed, Gray wanted to stay with Sweets. It happened that Patrick's wife was coming to visit the class. Sweets didn't know what to tell Gray, but the two of them broke up unhappy.

"Your chemistry is very good. If we can work together, it will be a movie that will be remembered." After listening to the story, Ronald threw the butt of the cigarette to the ground and stamped it out with his foot.

It turned out to be a bloody story by 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 very good chemistry, but it's just impossible for me to agree to his request. She is still a little girl mentally. I don't know how. Explain it to her."

"You must know that the character baby in the movie is also a little girl and has not yet entered college. Johnny is also more mature than baby in the script. If you can't convince him, it's hard for me to believe that you can convince me during filming. .”

"I...I just didn't realize for a moment that she still remembered the things in 'Red Dawn' so deeply."

"Then you go and talk to her alone. I don't care what method you use. If you can't make Jennifer change her mind today, I will consider changing someone. I don't care how much Eleanor likes the single-eyelid macho man."

"Oh, yeah? It's nothing rare. I've seen a lot of simple rich girls like this." Sweets was inspired by Ronald.

"Good, get her done."

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

"It's been more than twenty minutes, and you've asked me three times, Ronald. It seems that you are just talking, but in your heart you still hope that Sweets and Gray will star together." Eleanor heard Ronald Sweets was even shocked when he asked him to succeed or die.

Now it seems that Ronald is just motivating the other party and asking him to resolve the personal issues with Gray.

"Squeak..." The door for the two actors to negotiate alone was opened.

Jennifer Gray's eyes were red and swollen from crying, a pair of almond-shaped eyes with teardrops.

Unexpectedly, Patrick Swayze, who came out from behind, also had red eyes.

"What you were talking about..." Ronald looked at Sweets' small eyes under his single eyelid, why are you crying too? Is the deal done or broken down?

"I have talked with Patrick and I am willing to star in this movie with him." Jennifer Gray glanced at Patrick with a shy face.

Sweets was a little embarrassed and put his collar up to cover his neck. Mouthed to Ronald, "I got it."

"Very good." Ronald knew it was done. "Starting next week, Patrick, you will be training as a choreographer. I have found a good dancer to work with you."

"What about me?" Jennifer Gray asked Ronald next to him while looking at Sweets.

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

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

"Why?" Gray pouted. Wasn't this trying to separate her from Sweets again?

"There's no reason, just do as I say."

"oh".

Jennifer Gray seems to have more feelings for this kind of man who treats her simply and roughly.

"That's right." When Ronald dialed Joel Gray's phone number, he remembered something and turned around to ask the screenwriter Eleanor.

"Has the music director Danny Goldberg called? How is the negotiation for his song rights going? If we don't negotiate, I won't be useless during rehearsals."

"He just called and said that he is still talking to people from major record companies and there is no progress yet. But it will be sorted out before filming starts."

"I have to call him too. Why, he always says it's almost done." Ronald complained softly.

Patrick Sweets over there heard this and seemed to have some idea. He wanted to step forward to chat with Ronald, but saw Jennifer Gray standing between him and Ronald, and quickly took a step back.

Don't cause trouble again just after you've been coaxed.
