Exploiting Hollywood 1980

The old lady who suffered from heatstroke this time plays a thief who steals things at a resort, named Mrs. Schumacher. She dresses like a rich person, but she and her husband steal valuables and clothes from tourists.

This also resulted in Johnny being framed as a thief, losing his job at the resort hotel, and being kicked out of the baby's life.

Originally, the screenwriter Eleanor asked Dr. Ruth, the famous late-night radio host in New York, to play this role.

Ruth Westheimer was a German-Jewish psychologist who escaped the Holocaust and came to America during World War II. In the early 1980s, when she was 55 years old, she opened a late-night radio show in New York. A sex talk show where female and male listeners answer all kinds of intimate questions that they are too embarrassed to ask their friends.

She was well-known on the East Coast and throughout America, and people loved her for speaking out for women. Safety measures should be used, girls should make decisions about their own bodies, do not have one-night stands but have sex with the person they love, etc... Her views are very popular with girls working in big cities.

Of course, in the conservative south, she was treated as a joke. He also nicknamed her Female Floyd.

But when she learned that Ronald asked her to play a thief, Dr. Ruth withdrew. Ronald had no choice but to find this old lady who had been acting on Broadway all her life.

After learning that she was fine, Ronald continued filming.

Jennifer Gray is still like that, giving Sweets the back of her head before the shot, and then the back of her head after the shot.

Ronald tried many methods, including private conversations with Gray and Sweets, and asking Cynthia Rhodes and screenwriter Eleanor to persuade him privately, but all to no avail.

Ronald, who was at a loss, even thought of changing roles. The lead actress, Jennifer Gray, was replaced by Sarah Jessica Parker, who was eliminated in the final round of auditions.

Not long after this thought came up, he was extinguished by the bill he received from the Shanhu Resort Hotel.

In order to prevent heat stroke, Ronald ordered some extra ice cubes and ice-cold drinks, and the Mountain Lake Hotel offered the retail price of the hotel in the peak season.

Looking at the numbers at the end, Ronald crumpled the bill into a ball and threw it viciously on the ground.

"This is robbery, robbery!" Ronald looked at the serious cost overruns. The first half million of the reserve fund had been spent, and he had already begun to use the second half million reserve fund.

A total of 1.5 million reserve funds will be maintained until the filming is completed.

All dangerous. Maybe the funds originally used for issuance will have to be used.

"orge on", Niceta picked up the bill from the floor, slowly opened it, and then smoothed it on the table.

"You're past the last possible point. It's almost a week into filming, and you've shot a lot of Grey's and Sweets footage, and you're going to have to do it all over again, plus the cost of relocation, and all the actors and work. The time it takes for the crew to reshoot scenes with you will probably double your filming costs."

"Fuck, I knew Jennifer Gray was unreliable, how could she be like this?"

Ronald was so angry that he took the iced Coke handed to him by Niceta and drank it with one tilt of his neck.

"You have only two choices now, either bite the bullet and finish filming, or simply stop, stop this project, and admit your apology."

"I..." Ronald's anger became aroused again, "No, never!"

"Well, you have to find a way to get Gray to cooperate."

Niceta put the smoothed bill back on the table, "I'm here to bring you good news."

"Oh? What's the good news?" Ronald crushed the Coke bottle, then smashed it into a flat piece of aluminum and threw it into the trash can.

"I found a corporate sponsor for you. If they have a product placement in the movie, they can give you a million dollars in advertising fees."

"ha!"

Ronald smiled broadly. This was great news. It solved his big problem.

"Who likes me so much? I put a big close-up on their products."

"It's Procter \u0026 Gamble's Clear Ying Acne Cream." Niceta visited many companies in Hollywood and finally found a suitable sponsor for Ronald's project.

They heard about Ronald's new film and were surprised that there was no product placement. However, after learning that Ronald invested and distributed the movie himself, he understood the problem.

However, after internal discussions within the company, their marketing director defied all odds and decided to invest in Ronald's new film.

This is because the marketing director is a fan of Ronald's movie. He also asked Ronald's old friend Maguire, the creative director of the advertising company, and knew that Ronald's previous product placement ads had a very high return on investment. He had also directed a series of commercials for Burger King, so he agreed to write the check.

"They hope there will be a close-up shot of the protagonist or a major supporting character using the Keliying acne cream in front of the mirror. The close-up of the trademark must not be less than two seconds."

"No problem, I will write a new paragraph for them, add scenes, add scenes."

With money as a backer, Ronald's brain returned to normal operation.

"In this case, you call Jennifer's father, Joel Gray. Ask him to guest star as the liar Mr. Schumacher. During Jennifer's audition, she clearly showed that she was a good daughter of her father. We asked Joel to put some pressure on her. , let her behave more professionally."

Ronald immediately came up with an idea to make Jennifer Gray act more professional.

Niceta nodded with satisfaction, "This is the Ronald I know. You work hard here, and I have to rush back to Los Angeles to continue to find new sponsors for you."

Joel Gray is a three-dimensional star who has won an Oscar, a Grammy, and a Tony Award. He is only one Emmy Award away from a major.

His arrival really put a lot of pressure on Jennifer. On the set, she no longer dared to be petty and give the director and co-stars the back of their necks. There was still no eye contact with Patrick Swayze.

After Joel finished filming the cameo scene, he went to Ronald to apologize for his daughter.

"I'm sorry. After I divorced her mother, I spoiled Jennifer by agreeing to everything she asked for. She is already twenty-six years old, but she still has the heart of a child. We all hope that she will find a Jewish boyfriend as soon as possible. Get married so she can become more mature.”

"Uh, okay." Ronald thought to himself, this is all an old-fashioned idea. No wonder Jennifer Gray looks a bit like the protagonist baby. It seems that her family background also wants her to marry a man of the same ethnic group. She and the baby feel the same way.

"Jennifer sometimes needs someone to guide her, and I have told her my views on the professional nature of acting. And thank you for handling the script so that she does not end up playing a Jewish girl dating an Irishman. Being criticized within the circle.”

"Goodbye, Mr. Grey."

"Goodbye, director. Emil, can you take me to the airport?" Joel Gray had to rush back to New York.

…

"How was my performance? Director?" Screenwriter Eleanor, at her own strong request, finally made a guest appearance and danced in the hall with Patrick Swayze.

At this time, the baby, played by Jennifer Gray, came to find them, because she found Penny, played by Cynthia Rhodes, crying silently in the kitchen.

In the darkness, a beam of light hit the opposite wall, and a close-up of Cynthia appeared in the viewfinder. Even with tears streaming down her face, she looked very beautiful.

Penny is crying here because she is close to a young man who works as a screen tester at the hotel, and she even sponsors him to go to college. But the young man was unwilling to use safety measures, causing Penny to become pregnant. In the conservative year of 1961, this was undoubtedly a scandal.

At the time, Roe v. Wade had not yet been decided by the Supreme Court, so it was illegal.

Penny asked her boyfriend for money for surgery, but he ruthlessly refused and took the opportunity to break up with her.

As a backup dancer and dance instructor, the little money she saved was given to her ex-boyfriend, leaving Penny with no savings at all. I can't even afford a private doctor. I had to cry secretly in the kitchen.

"Cut!" Ronald nodded with satisfaction. This is a good performance and a good actor.

"You did a good job, go and wipe it."

Ronald handed over a hot towel.

When Cynthia performed the crying scene, she did not use eye drops, but performed it with true feelings and powerful imagination.

"Thank you." Cynthia glanced at Ronald. When she acted just now, she was actually borrowing her state of mind when she was harassed by Stallone's brother Frank during the filming of The Flying Dragon and Ronald came to intervene and rescued her. .

As long as that memory is mobilized, tears will flow out immediately.

"Okay, let's take a break and start shooting again next Monday." Ronald shot for six days and finally ushered in the first weekend.

"Don't forget the ban, it remains in effect over the weekend."

Ronald recalled the prohibition against contact between men and women and emphasized it. In fact, if they go find a hotel to book a room on their own, they can't do anything about it, but most actors are still reluctant to book another room in a hotel that charges peak season prices.

After tidying up, Ronald picked up the folding chair with his name on it and returned to the room. In the evening, I will continue to watch the samples, and prepare for next week's shooting and transition arrangements.

Also, Helen will come to visit the class during weekend breaks.

This time I can relax my tense nerves a little.
