Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Be careful not to damage the director's painting. Use special tape made by the director's company, the kind that is attached to the wallpaper. This way, when you dismantle and restore it, the four paintings and the wallpaper will not be damaged. If you damage the painting , I can’t even afford to deduct all your wages.”

The filming returned to the two-story mansion, where the set crew was carefully putting the Andy Warhol paintings that Ronald bought on the walls. The leader of the set team knew that Ronald had spent a lot of money to buy it, and he began to scold the loaders who did not know the importance of it.

"Let me tell you, this is not a painting, this is a printed matter. Don't bully us for not knowing. I have worked in a printing factory before. How much does this thing cost? I think it costs up to fifty dollars a piece. It's not like a painter can paint. "An Italian set designer didn't believe it and touched it.

"Don't move, you dirty hands. Your price multiplied by a thousand times is more than that. You can't afford to lose all your wages."

"Fifty thousand dollars? Has the director been deceived? I can print dozens of copies of this thing in one afternoon." The set worker suddenly opened his hand and said, "These rich people are so stupid. They were deceived into buying this kind of garbage as a treasure." .”

…

"!"

After Ronald started shouting loudly, Harrison Ford picked up Ronald's private collection of top-grade cigars, took a puff, puffed out expensive smoke, pointed to the green screen of the computer on his left and said, "Walls Baotai’s operating return rate should be 8%, not 6%.”

He was sitting on a modernly designed desk. The desk lamp was improved by the lighting engineer and turned into a lighting source. The smoke had a hazy effect on Melanie Griffey, who was wearing a white vest and looking at him. Si's eyes became even more confused.

"The National Communications Commission has suspended the approval of Memphis Communications, a subsidiary of Metro Radio... Your information is out of date. The new application was approved last Friday, and Metro Radio's valuation increased by 30%."

Ronald stared at the performances of the two actors behind the camera. Harrison Ford still played himself as always, with a deep and masculine voice that fascinated people. Melanie Griffith looked at each other with a look on her face. I can see that my heart is rippling.

Harrison Ford also noticed something strange about the other person. A man and a woman were working overtime. Occasionally they looked at each other and understood each other's intentions. Although there was not enough time to get together right away, they knew that the other person was willing to be with him. The feeling is extremely sweet.

Such a scene was deliberately set up mainly to arouse the adult audience's yearning for beautiful love and pave the way for the subsequent sex scene.

"Let's get back to work.

"Harrison Ford took the initiative to stand up and pour water. If this continues, Jack and Tess will be on fire.

Melanie Griffiths touched her lips with her tongue after the other party stood up. This little gesture was in line with the heart of a secretary who wanted to change herself. If she hadn't pretended to be a manager, it would have been impossible for her to work with someone of Jack Traynor's level, no matter how great her idea was.

"Cut!" Ronald was very satisfied with Melanie Griffith's small movements that fit the character's identity. "When you take the close-up next, you have to do this action again."

"Giggle, okay." Melanie Griffiths has recovered well from the previous filming accident, and now her performance every day has returned to the level before the accident.

"!"

Soon, the camera switched to a close-up shot, focusing on the two actors, and filmed their scene twice.

The assistant handed Harrison Ford another cigar of similar length and asked Harrison Ford to smoke it again. Then Melanie Griffiths licked her lips at the camera, raised her chin slightly, and monologued to the camera, "I think we're ready."

This sentence is both a comment on work and a pun on the relationship between men and women.

"cut!"

"Ronald, your cigars are really good. I rarely smoke good cigars or cigarettes on set, and I don't even prepare good props." Harrison Ford was full of praise for Ronald's cigars.

"Take it if you like it. It was given to me by Goldberg, the president of Fox." In order to ensure the accuracy of the details, Ronald used real and expensive brands for the cigarettes, cigars, and red wine and champagne in the film. People on Wall Street can't find fault.

"Ahem, don't smoke here, the director's famous painting is going to be smoked." Melanie Griffiths hit Harrison Ford's arm affectionately to prepare for the next sex scene.

"Famous paintings?" Harrison Ford looked at the four paintings beside the stairs. His expression was strange, as if he was asking Ronald why he bought such prints.

"I bought this at a charity auction. It's just right for the setting..." Ronald didn't want to look at the painting he bought from David Geffen, which made him bleed a lot, and quickly changed his words, "Get ready, wait. Next time we go to the bedroom to shoot the sex scene."

"Do you want us to have a glass of champagne?" Harrison Ford looked at Melanie and asked.

"I don't need that." Melanie Griffith smiled provocatively, as if to say, I can shoot a sex scene with America's biggest male star without having to brew emotions, and then asked: " Do you want it?"

"Oh, then I don't need to either."

In the next room, the director of photography had asked the lighting team to set up the lights in advance. After a while, the two actors in pajamas entered the bedroom.

In addition to lighting, sound recording, and Ronald, as well as the director of photography Ballhaus who personally took the shots, and the managers of the two actors, the scene was still cleared.

Seeing that there were no extra people at the scene, Ronald raised his hand and said to the two actors: "Please..."

Harrison Ford took off his pajamas first. Wearing only a pair of underwear, he took protective measures and wrapped a blanket around his lower body.

Melanie Griffiths was even more bold. She took off her pajamas and walked to the big bed on the spot. She reluctantly lifted the quilt, got in, and put the quilt half on her body.

"You're in great shape today," Melanie's manager Phyllis Carlile said, giving her a thumbs up.

"Miss Griffiths," Harrison Ford's manager, whom the wife had personally chosen, came over and motioned to Melanie to pull the quilt up a little.

Melanie Griffiths' elaborate ploy was discovered, and she looked at Ronald behind the camera. This is an R-rated movie. If there is a performance that is talked about in the sex scene with Harrison Ford, then she will become a long-term topic. Phyllis Carlyle has already plotted with her.

"Please..." Ronald also made an upward gesture, then stretched out his finger to Phyllis Carlisle and shook it, "No tricks..." Finally, he waved her over and whispered in her ear. Whisper a few words.

"No, no, I promise there won't be any tricks...she didn't pay attention just now." Phyllis immediately agreed, and went up to help Melanie tuck the quilt herself, so that only her shoulders and upper back were exposed.

"Harrison's wife specifically told her..." Phyllis Carlisle specifically explained to her client Melanie. Harrison Ford's wife is very jealous. This is not only a matter of jealousy, but also involves the fact that a big star like Harrison Ford cannot act in any dishonorable scene.

If there was a revealing scene, even if it was the opposite actress Melanie Griffith's exposure, it would be hyped by the media, so he would never allow it to appear, and it would not even be possible for such a scene to be released. square inspection.

"!"

The door was opened, and Harrison Ford walked in with a blanket wrapped around his waist and a takeaway in his hand. He put the takeaway away and kissed Melanie lovingly on the bed. .

Both hands were placed on both sides of Melanie's head in a very gentlemanly manner, like a standard push-up position. The kiss between the two of them was also very restrained, and they only tasted it briefly. But both eyes are full of emotion at the same time, and the control of a professional actor can make people feel at ease.

The two kissed for several seconds, then broke apart and Melanie Griffiths placed a finger on Harrison Ford's chin.

"How come you have a scar here?" Melanie Griffiths improvised.

Ronald clearly saw a surprised expression flash across Harrison Ford's eyes.

"In Detroit, a guy took out a knife and used it on me..." The scar was not caused by a makeup artist, but Harrison Ford's own real scar, on his chin. Presumably many women have asked him this in real life.

"Really?" Melanie Griffiths' performance of this kind of woman who is easy to be fooled and doesn't have much social experience is really very realistic. The surprised expression on her face was obviously a natural reaction after hearing Harrison Ford's nonsense.

Ronald quickly gestured to the staff on site not to stop. This kind of real performance opportunity was rare.

"Ha, no..." Harrison Ford's expression suddenly changed. Women like to listen to all kinds of stories. This tough character seems like Melanie underneath him doesn't believe it. So let's change it to someone who is extravagant and rebellious. .

"I used to have a girlfriend who wanted to pierce my ears, but it hurt so much that I passed out, fell in the bathtub and broke my jaw."

"Well, haha..." The character Tess just didn't have the opportunity to get along with a man with money and social status, so she was a bit naive, but she was not stupid and immediately realized that this was another story.

The two laughed for a while, and Melanie Griffith licked her lips again and cleared her throat, "Well... I have something that I must tell you."

Melanie Griffiths faced the camera and made a swallowing gesture, coupled with her nervous licking of her lips, portraying a very nervous woman who wanted to tell her lover the secret of being a secretary. lifelike.

"Beep beep..." At this moment, the phone next to him rang.

The two looked at each other, and when Jack saw that Tess didn't say anything right away, he got up and went to get the phone.

"Hello... Hi... I know... I can't wait. I'll pick you up when you come back..."

What came on the phone was a woman's voice. Melanie Griffiths was on the side and raised her chin to the camera. According to the plot, Tess heard that it was a woman calling, and she felt bitter. Tess's face.

"I'll take a look too, bye..." Harrison Ford put down the phone, looked at Melanie Griffith's disappointed face, and wanted to kiss her again.

Melanie Griffiths raised her head, and before leaning on the ground to kiss him, her mood rose again. She simply turned around and buried her head in the pillow.

"cut!"

"Oh, shxt!" Ronald cursed secretly. He didn't know whether it was Melanie Griffith's intention, or Harrison Ford's push-ups were very laborious and messed up the quilt. In the end, when Mellan Griffiths turned over, he showed his side briefly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't do it right..." Melanie Griffiths immediately apologized to the director and Harrison Ford, and the nervousness could be heard in her voice. Originally, her improvisation led to an excellent performance opposite Harrison Ford, but in the end, she turned over intentionally or unintentionally.

Harrison Ford curled his lips. He actually wanted to keep this. This was a rare moment in which his acting skills exploded in this movie. This plot is very similar to his own character, a handsome guy who has a good rapport with women, a cowboy personality, and likes to brag, just like Han Solo in Star Wars.

"Harrison, that was an honest mistake... Melanie and you have a chemistry that will blow people away on screen. I'm going to keep this, if you don't mind, I'm going to keep that long shot, it's very It’s difficult, the scenes blessed by the movie god may only appear once or twice in a movie.”

"Okay, actually I don't mind that much. I also think the acting is good. If you are willing, I will agree to keep it." Harrison Ford doesn't mind this kind of scene that lasts less than half a second. As long as the plot is reasonable, no. Deliberately showing off, such a shot wouldn't be R-rated, and besides, it's not like she was exposing herself.

"let's continue……"

Ronald waved the two of them to continue posing.

"Well, there is a woman, and I have actually broken up with her. Well, technically we haven't broken up yet. I originally planned to break up with her, but she broke her leg when she went skiing. I think In this case, we cannot add insult to injury.”

Melanie Griffiths half-raised her head. The more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Why was this plot so familiar?

"Actually, she works in the same company and department as you. When we first talked on the phone, you mentioned her name."

"Oh, Catherine..."

"Yeah, Parker."

Tess, played by Melanie Griffiths, turns her head and buries her head into the pillow. She didn't expect that her partner was actually the ex-boyfriend of her boss Catherine, well, technically not an ex-boyfriend.

"What were you going to say just now?" Jack, played by Harrison Ford, remembered what Tess was going to say before answering the phone.

"Hey..." Tess buried her head in the pillow and sighed, "Oh...it's nothing, it's not important."

"cut!"

Ronald gave both actors a thumbs up. The two got up and put on their pajamas, also laughing happily.

The actors actually didn't have a very accurate feeling on the set as to whether their filming was good or not. Ronald's reaction undoubtedly told them that they did a good job.

This sex scene is a classic, "I have a secret to tell you, but let's forget it" plot, which paved the way for Catherine's later return to reveal Tess's secret identity.

However, the actors can perform such clichéd scenes so naturally that the audience doesn't really care. It doesn’t matter if the plot is old, the key is that the performance should be new.

…

We dined at a famous Greek restaurant with them at noon, and continued shooting in that room in the afternoon.

After filming the sex scene, Harrison Ford left first. Next comes Tess's solo scene. She also heard about Catherine's return.

In a hurry, she took Catherine's custom-made dress that she had "borrowed" for dry cleaning.

"A total of 120 dollars," a Chinese extra, playing the role of the dry cleaning shop proprietress, said to Tess.

"Here you go." Without having time to question the expensive price, Tess opened her wallet, counted a few bills and handed them over. Then she took the clothes wrapped in plastic bags and hurried away.

Then he replenished the food he had eaten in the refrigerator and restored the contents of the large refrigerator as much as possible.

The last step is to clean up and clean the dust in the room with a vacuum cleaner.

Wearing a white shirt, a black skirt, and a little messy hair, Melanie Griffiths turned on the imported Japanese vacuum cleaner and washed the dust in the room wearing slippers.

"cut!"

Ronald felt that the beautiful woman in this messy state was very sexy. When he got the right shot, he wanted to stop and end today's shooting.

"Director, I think this scene is not very realistic..."

Melanie Griffiths came over, folded her hands nervously, swallowed, and came over to present her ideas to Ronald.

"How do you say that?" Ronald raised his eyebrows. He was also a little confused whether the woman's sex scene just now was really unintentional, or whether she was acting to make a difference.

"I don't know how you think about it, but a single woman won't be as neatly dressed as a maid when vacuuming at home. Usually I vacuum in my underwear at home."

Melanie Griffiths gestured and spoke her mind.

"Really?" Ronald touched his chin. This reason was indeed justified. He asked several young women on the crew and found out that when they were at home by themselves, they were not in the same mental state as when someone was at home. When you're single, you don't care about being seen at home, so washing up in work clothes is really unnecessary.

"Okay, do what you want." Ronald was persuaded by Melanie to shoot another dust-washing scene.

After a while, Melanie Griffith came out wearing a pair of high-V underwear and a pair of white high heels. She was well prepared. She didn't want to show her sexiness in the sex scene just now. This vacuuming scene was also reasonable. Reason, it’s okay.

"Hmm..." Ronald also swallowed. This outfit is really... too coquettish. The key is the pair of high heels. They are much sexier than nothing at all.

"It seems that she has been prepared for it, but there can't be too many scenes, otherwise it will be tacky." Ronald rubbed his chin and thought, for R-rated movies, you can give some reasonable desserts, but you can't make people look obscene.

"I have an idea. Our camera is placed outside the door. This way we can watch a little bit of Tess vacuuming outside without invading Tess's psychological space."

Ronald quickly thought of a countermeasure. If this kind of doing housework at home in underwear is as common as Melanie Griffiths said, it must be private, and a single woman is at home alone. Will do.

Therefore, the camera should not invade the single psychological space of Tess, so that the audience will not feel violated. Otherwise, female viewers will definitely feel uncomfortable.

"cut!"

A few shots were taken outside the door. Melanie Griffiths had no choice but to do a few sexy poses with a vacuum cleaner, but depending on the situation, the final cut would not last more than a second.

"The director is so cunning... he just won't give me screen time," Melanie Griffiths complained to manager Phyllis Carlile.

"On this point, I actually agree with Director Ronald's idea. He understands very well what the audience wants to see. Compared with taking a long shot of your sexy scene, a glimpse like this will make the male audience love you more."

Phyllis Carlyle was well-informed, and she really attracted male audiences to the cinema, and then spread it as a topic for a long time. It is a short scene that you will miss if you don't remind yourself to watch it.

"I hope you're right, Phyllis. I hope the scene at the end of the third act will be more moving for me."
