Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Paramount executive Lindsay Dolan watched the tape of the audition conducted by Ronald de Maria. He also didn't like Demi Moore's short hair and was leaning toward Nicole. Kidman stars as Molly.

"Look at these eyes, look at this small nose, the male audience will be fascinated, right?" Lindsay Dolan is very satisfied with Kidman's appearance.

"Let them audition for the second round?" Ronald read through the script at home these days. He discovered that Jasmine's crying scene after Sam's death was done by her and Sam in the basement of their home in the middle of the night. The pottery scenes are all very, very important scenes.

He knew the level of Demi Moore thoroughly, but he still had doubts about Kidman, so he wanted to call the two actresses to audition for the crying scene before making a choice.

"Great, can I participate?" Lindsay Dolan said, very much in agreement with Ronald's idea.

"Okay, but I have a small request. Don't say anything tendentious in person before watching the two of them perform..." Ronald knew that the executives of these big companies had high positions, but She's not professional about things like casting, and she's afraid that she said something she shouldn't have said.

"It's all up to you..."

Of course, Ronald still had two important roles to discuss with Lindsay Dolan before the actress's second audition.

"Tony Goldwyn? He is very good. Although he is a child of the Goldwyn family, he loves acting." Lindsay Dolan is relatively familiar with the eldest grandson of one of the founders of MGM.

"He has a good eye and knows that he has no chance to play the leading role, so the videos he recommends are all about playing the villain Carl." Ronald has never had a bad feeling towards actors who are self-aware.

He later auditioned him in person, and even senior people like Lindsay Dolan couldn't find fault with the role.

"The other one is the role of the psychic. Do you have any recommendations?" Ronald asked. He couldn't find a suitable candidate for such a black psychic.

"Who do you have in mind? Who do you want to play?" Lindsay Dolan asked a different question. When a director of Ronald's level makes a film with such a supporting role in a comedy, it almost seems like whoever you want to play will be cast. Who acted.

"Oprah Winfrey..."

Ronald has been watching movies starring black actors at home every day for the past two days, and he finally found an excellent candidate from "The Color Purple" that Spielberg shot a few years ago. Currently hosting a talk show in Chicago, a nationally syndicated female host.

"Her?" Lindsay Dolan didn't like this woman very much. She was no longer the young actor that Spielberg promoted. Now she is the top daytime talk show on the TV station, focusing on sensationalism, but it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

"Tuk-du..." While the two were chatting, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Ronald looked around and saw Patrick Schwytz walking in from behind the door. He was still wearing a black T-shirt on top and a pair of jeans on the bottom, looking like a cowboy.

"Hi, Ronald."

"Aha, Patrick..."

The two didn't meet many times after Dirty Dancing, and every time Ronald wrote huge checks to Schwytz.

Therefore, although the invitation for this movie was sent to Patrick Schwytz, he was not very interested, but in order to meet his needs of ranch expansion and buying horse racing, he still had to come and talk to Ronald in person.

This is a director who has brought him wealth and status and cannot be neglected. Schwyz's wife specifically asked...

"Patrick..." Lindsay Dolan's eyes flashed with little stars. Like all female executives in Hollywood, when she heard that Schwytz was coming to audition, she must put aside all arrangements and come over to have sex with her. The real male protagonist dances a song.

Patrick Schweitz has long been accustomed to this kind of thing. He was happy at first, then disgusted, and today, he has regarded it as one of his obligations. As long as there are so many female viewers buying "Dirty Dancing" videos every year, he has an obligation to fulfill their dreams.

"Bang bang...bang bang..." Lindsay Dolan clapped in her mouth. When Ronald saw this, he didn't know what she wanted to do, so he simply dug out a Dirty Dancing videotape. Entering the dance scene at the end, the two of them danced for a while, and Lindsay Dolan's secretary recorded it with a camera nearby, so that they could brag to their grandchildren in the future.

Seeing that Schwytz was very cooperative and danced a round of Dirty Dancing Mambo with her, Lindsay Dolan smiled like a 16-year-old girl. She sat down and kept saying, "Quick, quick, Say something quickly..."

"No one can leave a baby in a corner..." Patrick Schwytz usually goes to the supermarket and is often asked by housewives to repeat this line. He has long understood how to make them happy.

"Oh, God..." Ronald covered his face. Lindsay Dolan was completely abusing his power to satisfy his own fantasies.

Schwytz looked like it didn't matter, it was my duty to satisfy the fans.

However, Lindsay Dolan was dissatisfied with Ronald's face covering, "This represents Schwytz's popularity among our target audience. You may not know how popular he is now..."

Ronald was confused, red?

"The roadside bar where I filmed and Blood Relatives had just been released, and there were indeed many viewers who entered the theater because of me." Patrick Schwytz also regarded Ronald as his biggest confidant.

After taking the audition photos and the self-introduction video, Schwitz wanted to talk to Ronald. He said, "Ronald, you see, I can't get rid of the role of Dirty Dancing now..."

"What's wrong with your knees?" Ronald didn't answer. He saw that Schwytz's hands were always on his knees.

"The filming of that action movie is a little souvenir. My old knee injury has relapsed a bit, and it was not convenient to ride a horse a while ago..."

“Are those two action movies?”

"Yes, I have always wanted to get rid of the position of the leading actor in dance and romance dramas. Although action movies are hard to shoot..."

"You know? To break the stereotype of a character is not to play a different type of greedy person, but to play a more blockbuster movie..." Ronald knew what Schwytz wanted to say and interrupted him.

Not many actors have a clear understanding of their acting skills and positioning. More often than not, people like Schwytz think that the answer they give them is completely different from the answer given by the market.

But their success has deepened their omnipotence mentality, and they always want to achieve their impossible goals through the next movie.

"You mean, I can take this role?" Patrick Schwytz's originally planned refusal was shaken by Ronald's words.

Indeed, even though he has filmed so many different types of roles, the audience has not remembered him. Now the audience still asks him to say that line from Dirty Dancing.

"Don't you think that after making so many action movies, you should make a soul-deep romance movie to balance your health?" Ronald pointed to his knees.

"Do you think I'm really suitable for this role?" Patrick Schwytz was still very impressed by the treatment Dirty Dancing received. What if this movie is another success?

"Of course, I am very confident that in this movie you are a bank manager. No one will regard you as a gigolo anymore. What people will remember is only the love between you and your wife..."

Schwytz was elated by Ronald's two or three words. His agent had repeatedly tried to persuade him with these words, but Ronald was Ronald after all. The same words coming from his mouth would be more credible. Too high.

"Come for the audition in two days. I've found two very beautiful female stars to play opposite you... Then you can tell me who you have a better chemistry with..."

"Is it still Jennifer Grey?" Schwytz thought of the actress who played Baby in Dirty Dancing.

"She can't. The heroine in this movie needs to be very beautiful."

…

The next day, Nicole Kidman and Demi Moore came to audition again. Ronald and Patrick Schwytz were waiting in the audition room, plus the villain who played the role of Sam's friend. Carl is played by Tony Goldwyn. The three of them filmed a scene together to see the chemistry.

Ronald was dissatisfied with Demi Moore cutting her hair short in private, so he called Nicole Kidman to audition. She was also very happy to have the opportunity to enter Hollywood without relying on her boyfriend Cruise, but did not tell My boyfriend is here.

Kidman came first, and the three of them acted together in the opening scene where Sam and Molly are renovating a new house with their friend Carl.

Ronald looked at the three of them. Kidman was about an inch taller than Schwytz, but such a height difference could easily be filled with the magic of the camera lens. At least it's more convenient than filming with her boyfriend Cruise.

Ronald then asked the two male actors to go out, leaving only Lindsay Dolan, Julia Taylor, and Kidman, and he wanted to test the crying scene.

"This is the scene where Molly thinks of the dead Sam at night, sitting alone on the floor and crying silently. I want to see your understanding of this. It doesn't have to be crying loudly, you can see for yourself... …”

Ronald handed Kidman a few relevant pages of the script and gave him plenty of time to process his emotions.

Kidman paused for five minutes, then slowly entered Molly's state of mind.

Kidman sat and slowly raised her head. She didn't cry, but her expression was obviously pitiful. Ronald took the shots himself and saw a kind of pure power in the camera.

"Thank you, that's ok."

After Kidman left, Ronald discussed with Julia Taylor and Lindsay Dolan.

"She should play the role of Grace Kelly..." Julia Taylor is a very experienced casting director, and she saw at a glance where Kidman was not suitable. Molly is a sexy young woman. Kidman's face has just lost its baby fat, and her innocence is too high. To play Molly, Ronald had to slowly train her.

"Let's bring in Schwytz and Goldwyn, and we'll pair Demi Moore with them."

Ronald was noncommittal and called in Demi Moore.

The three of them lined up again and acted out the opening scene of the three renovating the house.

"Eh..." Ronald, who originally wanted to give Demi Moore a cold face and let her reflect on it, saw the scene of the three people together and suddenly remembered the dream he had had.

In the dream, it seemed that Schwytz and Demi Moore with short black hair were smashing the wall together with another actor.

This kind of sexy young woman who has experienced human life and has mature accidents is very suitable for Demi Moore to play. Moreover, her long hair looks too innocent as a girl, but after cutting it off, her young woman's temperament is more convincing.

"Is it your idea to have short hair?" Ronald looked at Demi Moore who was wearing a white shirt.

"I told you that you will definitely like me with this short hair, right? Am I right?" Demi Moore said with a slightly hoarse voice and glanced at Ronald confidently.

Lindsay Dolan and Julia Taylor looked at each other. Their eyes looked very familiar, right? Could it be...

"Okay, I'm going to try the crying scene...I'll give you five minutes to prepare..." Ronald was persuaded by Demi Moore. She is the kind of actor who knows her body and appearance very well, usually better than The director knows better what role he looks like.

"No need to prepare..." Demi Moore cried as soon as she sat down, then slowly raised her head and faced the camera.

A big tear fell from her right eye. It flowed down to his lips, then his chin, and finally fell to the floor.

"Wow, can you control which eye cries first?" Julia Taylor was impressed by this superb acting skills.

"No problem, look at this one again..." Demi Moore said as she changed her face, pointed at the camera, and then there was no need to brew, and a tear fell from her left eye.

"Holy Shxt..." This is really unheard of acting skills... Lindsay Dolan was also very satisfied. She looked at Ronald, needless to say.

"Uh..." Ronald looked at Demi Moore and forgot that she had this unique skill!

In romance movies, a close-up shot of the heroine can control the eyes and the time of her tears. It is simply a weapon of mass destruction. How many female viewers will be made to cry by her.

"Okay, you go back and wait for the news..." Ronald was frustrated. He didn't have a deep understanding of the role as an actor, and he didn't know how to face his old friend Demi Moore.

"I'll wait..." Demi Moore looked sexy with a hint of heroism in her short-haired look. She stared at Ronald's eyes for a second and caught a hint of unnaturalness. Confident, she walked out happily.

"So you have this idea too, right?"

"Of course, who else could she be?" Lindsay Dolan had long forgotten what Ronald said not to express his position.

"Ronald, don't hesitate, this time you are..." Julia Taylor made a "natural" mouth shape with her lips. What she means is that Demi Moore is a natural actor and has honed her acting skills in family life since she was a child. These are all small cases for her. Don't hesitate to miss this perfect candidate.

This scene was seen by Demi Moore who opened the door. She carefully closed the door and walked quickly. When she arrived at the parking lot and sat in the cab, she happily shouted "Yes! Yes! I finally waited." !”

Ronald has made so many actresses famous, and it's finally his turn. She also needs to coax her husband, Bruce Willis, to prevent him from realizing what an opportunity this is for him.

…

"Okay, I'll call Tom..." Ronald recognized the two people's choice and got up to call Tom Cruise.

"Tom, Nicole just left. Yes, producer Lindsay Dolan saw her audition performance and was very satisfied with her performance. If you make her the main candidate for your racing film, it shouldn't be a big problem. .”

After the phone call, Ronald came back to continue discussing the role of the medium with the two women.

Oprah Winfrey did not come to the live audition, and she is now on the daily airing of The Oprah Winfrey Show. But she specially asked her assistant to fly over and send a video of her to Ronald.

"Hey...why is she so fat?" Ronald saw that Oprah Winfrey on the TV looked like two different people from the powerful actor in The Color Purple. Maybe it’s her racial talent, but Oprah Winfrey is very relatable right now.

"How about we find a real psychic? There are many such women in Hollywood, and many actors also believe in them. How do you see their performance?"

"Actually, I discussed with the screenwriter that it would be better to adapt this character into a liar rather than a real psychic. This would have a more comedic feel." Ronald heard Lindsay Dolan say that he wanted to find a real psychic to play the role. , I don’t care in my heart.

"Let's take a look, there aren't too many black actresses like this now..." Julia Taylor helped.

"Okay, let's take a look..."
