Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Listen, Ronald is the hottest director in Hollywood right now, and he is especially good at promoting popular actresses. Ronald usually doesn't like parties, but this time he had a party because of his accidental injury.

This time, it was a party held for him by some of his close friends. I found a few of the biggest Australian actors in Hollywood to get the tickets. You have to seize the opportunity..."

A manager in a suit and leather shoes gave advice to a tall, oval-faced, blonde curly-haired beauty.

"Oh?" The blond beauty didn't know how to answer. She was full of dreams about breaking into Hollywood, but Australians are not familiar with the place here, and it is very difficult to take the first step without someone to support.

Fortunately, the manager is relatively familiar with Hollywood, and took her to Mr. Crocodile Paul Hogan, and Rachel Ward's husband, Brian Neal, to get the opportunity to attend Ronald's small gathering. .

"Come in..." Arriving at the mansion of the famous Hollywood actor Michael Douglas, the butler came over to check her invitation, "This way please, Miss Kidman..."

In the classic-style mansion, the sun shines in through the shade of the trees, which makes people feel dizzy. Nicole Kidman can only hear faint laughter from the hall inside. She lifted her skirt, combed her curly hair, and walked a few steps into the second door.

"If you want me to say, you might as well move to the suburbs of Los Angeles. It's very quiet here, and there are LAPD patrols outside the house, so it's extremely safe."

The owner, Michael Douglas, was discussing Ronald's distress with a large group of people. Their opinions all want Ronald to move to Hollywood and forget it.

"I love Hollywood, the house is ready, it's being built. I'll miss home though, Hollywood is good, it's just a little bit crazy to live in...”

Nicole Kidman slowly walked to the periphery of the crowd. The focus of the crowd was a handsome man taller than herself. The person she wanted to please during this trip was Ronald Lee.

"Ah...hahaha..." Douglas took the lead in laughing, and everyone laughed too. What Ronald said is what Hollywood stars feel. Living here, I hear every day who gets what role, who may hit an Oscar, or be able to sell for 150 million.

Over time, everyone becomes neurotic about competition. Sometimes the best way to convince a star to take the role is to tell him that his rivals are also pursuing the role.

Nicole Kidman also tried to show the most beautiful smile, followed by gentle applause.

That's when a short, balding comedian next to Michael Douglas, Danny DeVito saw her, "Oh, who's this beautiful lady?"

"My last name is Kidman, my name is Nicole..."

"Are you the heroine in that movie with Sam Neill?" Danny DeVito recalled that she was the heroine of the new critically acclaimed film "Dead Silence", which was mentioned by various film critics , no wonder the face is familiar.

This kind of beauty with a perfect face, height and hair color is Hollywood's favorite type. Immediately, the men at the scene began to notice her and began to greet her.

Kidman knew in his heart that the stars, including Michael Douglas, were all married, and if they wanted the biggest return, they had to keep an eye on single power figures like Ronald.

But when she was interrupted, she had already lost the trace of Ronald. After looking around for a long time, she found that he was chatting with another beautiful woman on the edge of her mouth.

"Catherine, how are you preparing for your new project? I heard Jim said that he is trying to help you?"

"Yes, it's called Blue Steel. It's a commercial action police movie. I don't really want to make it, but Jim said it's the most important step for Hollywood to recognize you..."

"It's true, you see Jim can shoot what he wants now."

Ronald chats with Catherine Bigelow about her new career development. Jim Cameron has been separated from Gail Hurd, down to the last bits of paperwork.

Cameron finished principal photography on "The Abyss" and is now diving headfirst into post-production. In terms of personal life, he is close to Bigelow, a beautiful director, and is still helping her contact new projects. It seems that the two really share the same interests.

"I didn't expect Central Park to be so unsafe. When I was in Columbia, I used to run every day..." Bigelow stroked his hair, exuding a mature and confident style, which made the young Nicole Kidman Can't help feeling a little ashamed.

"Jim..." Ronald greeted Cameron who had just brought two glasses of champagne.

"Ronald, is your hand healed? This is really unexpected. I didn't expect that our brothers almost died in half a year." Cameron came over to take a closer look at Ronald's injury, and then put his arms around Bigelow's. Waist, and Ronald continued to chat about the production of "Abyss".

"Huh..." Kidman let out a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was Cameron's partner...

"I went to your office yesterday and saw some special effects. It really is very realistic... If I have some pictures with traditional special effects and use computer graphics to correct them, how about the effect?"

"It's very difficult, mainly due to the problem of manpower. The waves in the abyss are purely computer rendering, and then you only need to combine them with the normal shooting pictures. But what you said must be connected frame by frame, otherwise it will be a disaster. Sexual gossip"

According to Cameron, pure traditional special effects and pure computer-generated special effects are relatively simple, but combining the two is a very labor-intensive approach.

"How many unfinished special effects shots do you have now? When can you see the finished film?" Ronald admired the clips he saw in the office very much. The waves were simulated by the computer into the shape of a human face, very smooth and harmonious. reality.

"I'm still working on the final rendering shots, and it will be finished in about a week. Then you can show me..." Cameron was helping Bigelow while the computer rendering couldn't do anything else. It's a little embarrassing to be mentioned by Ronald about the new project.

"Are you satisfied with Fox?" Ronald asked.

"Hey, Goldberg has resigned, and now the new president wants to shorten the total length of my film, and I'm arguing with them..." Cameron originally agreed with Goldberg, asking him to try his best Let's play, make a blockbuster film of about three hours.

However, the new president in charge of production definitely has no real support for this kind of project led by the former. Taking advantage of the recent sluggish box office, he wanted Cameron to reduce the set to about two hours.

Details like this, although there are black and white, but the studio is a stronger party than Cameron after all. They can think of countless reasons to make Cameron succumb. In the final analysis, this kind of game is still a question of who needs whom more.

"Let him come to talk to me..." Ronald was very annoyed by this kind of suppression. In order to suppress the achievements of the former president, he deliberately played a bad role to cut Cameron's blockbuster.

It's okay if it's someone else, this is one of the few directors who are second only to Spielberg and Lucas in the achievements of shooting special effects movies. The future of Hollywood depends on them to expand, and making trouble for them is really harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself.

"I will. As for Catherine's new film, it is still invested by a small production company and is going to participate in next year's small film festival..."

"Haha, go talk to Michelle Cannold, we are also looking for a project to participate in the Sundance Film Festival next year," Ronald said to Bigelow with a smile, "You should come to me sooner, I thought you already got the investment..."

"Jim says it's a process..."

Two big things were done in a few words, and Nicole Kidman, who was secretly listening to their conversation, was shaken. What is very difficult for her may be a piece of cake for this director and producer who is good at supporting actresses.

Moreover, he is tall and handsome...

"Mr. Li, please let me introduce myself..." Seeing that Ronald seemed to be going to socialize with other people, Kidman hurried forward to seize the opportunity regardless of no one introducing himself.

"You are?" Ronald frowned, he didn't know this beauty.

"My name is Nicole...Nicole Kidman"

"Ah, I heard Paul (Hogan) mention you, welcome to Hollywood..." Ronald's eyes swept away, and he knew that this man should be born to eat movies. Her body proportions and lines are perfect, and her golden-red hair is Hollywood's favorite type.

With a few small freckles on her face, a strong nose and a well-pointed chin, and cheekbones that are perfect for close-ups, photographers will love her.

It just looks a little baby fat... It seems like Diane was unhappy for a long time after playing "The Urchin Outside the World". Thinking of Diane... Ronald turned around and looked for it...

"Have any of you seen Diane?"

"She seems to be chatting with Michael Douglas' wife over there," Bigelow pointed to the side.

"Excuse me..." Ronald nodded politely, left Kidman on the spot, and walked to Douglas' wife.

Diandra Luke, Douglas' wife, was chatting with Diane about his husband. Diandra, the daughter of an Australian diplomat, fell in love with the movie star and stayed in America after marriage.

Although she is inextricably linked with Australia, she has a bad opinion of Australian female stars. Relying on their own relationships, these people often ask Michael, but when they see Michael, they try to seduce him face to face, which is very shameless.

"How do you think about it now..." Diane wanted to know how Diandra guarded against these successive actresses.

"Oh, my poor Diane, you have to let him marry you before it's your turn to worry about this..." Diandra Luke was still an Australian woman after all, so she spoke very directly.

"Diane, Mrs. Douglas..." Ronald came over, held Diane's hand, and smiled.

"Tick tock, tick tock...", Diandra Luke made a gesture of knocking on his watch, reminding Diane to seize the opportunity as soon as possible.

"Why, it's time for me to go to the airport?" Ronald raised his wrist to check the time, there were still ten minutes left. He bowed his head and kissed Diane, and he could spend more time with her.

"I've already made an agreement with Paula. Disney is very happy that you are interested in participating in the show. They will prepare you for a fitting. I called Mr. Giorgio Armani, and he is very happy with your comeback as a leading actress I am happy, I agree to sponsor this movie, and I will order some nice clothes for you..."

"Hee hee..." Diane was very happy, and she still had weight in Ronald's heart, so she took the initiative to send a sweet kiss.

"Well, um..." The two kissed affectionately, and then separated. Their eyes were full of love.

"Eh...", Nicole Kidman followed up unwillingly, just in time to see this scene.

"The information is wrong, damn it...they didn't say that Ronald has a regular female companion..." Kidman was not reconciled to failure, he rearranged the collar of his jacket, confidently found the best angle, and went back to the Talk to Ronald before.

"Ronald..."

"Hi... Tom...", Ronald saw Tom Cruise who had just walked in, and stepped forward to hug him.

"Shxt!", Nicole Kidman cursed in her heart, why did someone come to disrupt the situation?

"I used the method you taught me to write a summary, can you help me read it?" Cruise took out a few sheets of paper from his jacket pocket and handed them to Ronald.

"So fast? Hmm..." Ronald glanced at the story in the script.

"Not bad, pretty good..." Ronald glanced at Tom Cruise, why did he suddenly get the hang of it?

This story is actually the most suitable for Tom Cruise to shoot. It's about a NASCAR driver, Cole Trickle. Knows nothing about the mechanics of racing, just a natural instinct for driving.

With the help of the mechanic and owner Harry Hogg, Cole, who had experienced failure, rose again. With the help of the beautiful neurosurgery doctor Lyle, he finally returned to the game and won the Indy 500 Grand Prix.

Ronald saw this part of the plot, looked up at Cruise, and laughed.

"Isn't this...well, the storyline you are best at? It seems that you have quite a talent for screenwriting..."

"Hey... Everyone knows that this is the racing version of Top Gun, so I'm the first to show it to you. I don't know if it's okay to shoot like this?" Cruise also knows that his debut work is completely imitating Luo Nader's "Top Gun."

It just changed the fighter plane into a NASCAR racing car, the beautiful instructor into a beautiful doctor, and the flight school teacher into the old mechanic of the racing team. The rhythm and story transition of other roads are the same.

"I'm very happy, your screenwriting style..." Ronald felt that Tom Cruise finally understood that a star like him was born to make these films that thrilled female audiences and secretly pleased male audiences. What an Oscar, that's what makes other people go after it.

"Yes, Paula is helping me start with the logic of a simple commercial film, which will also give me a better understanding of acting later. I will be able to find films that can actually make me nominate..."

"Hi..." Ronald shook his head, exaggerating. This guy is still thinking about the Oscars.

"It's a very good script, I think it's ok, you can tell Paula what I mean..." Ronald guessed that Cruise was looking for him to get insurance, since there was no major problem, he just looked for a professional The screenwriter will fill in the other details.

"I have to go, Tom, the plane is waiting for me..." Ronald looked at his watch again.

"Everything is going well..." Tom Cruise and Ronald hugged again, sending him and Diane out.

"snort……"

Nicole Kidman was so angry, how could these men like to pester Ronald so much?

"Find more people to fill in the details. Some parts of the aircraft are different from the racing cars. Dramatic conflicts must be arranged according to the characteristics of the project..." A few minutes later, Tom Cruise returned to the hall, took out the tape recorder and recorded it. Ronald said to him Views.

He took out the outline of his script again, trying to better understand what Ronald meant.

The letters on the white paper suddenly crawled like ants. He could see a few letters, but after the words entered his brain, it was like a shutdown. Cruise tried to open his eyes, but he couldn't understand the meaning of the words and sentences. There were only solitary letters dancing there.

"Are you okay?" Nicole Kidman saw Cruise trying to open his eyes there, drops of sweat streaming down his hair, and couldn't help thinking to himself, wouldn't this Hollywood star also be with those people in Australia? Same, drug abuse, right?

"Can you tell me, what is written here? The light here is too strong, I can't see clearly..." Cruise panicked, he hadn't had such a dyslexia attack for a long time.

Mimi (Rodgers) demands too much every day, and the two have reached the brink of breaking up. Cruise's dyslexia, which had improved, began to deteriorate again because of the care of Mimi, who was like a big sister.

"This paragraph says that the male protagonist was teased, and a genuine neurologist was treated as a prank stripper invited by the team..." Nicole Kidman was very patient with the handsome guy, and explained to him slowly with a smile.

"Oh, thank you, I always feel the glare..." Tom Cruise suddenly felt a little dry, the actress was as gentle as Mimi Rogers when I first met him, and, she Much prettier than Mimi...
