Exploiting Hollywood 1980

【Exploiting Hollywood 1980】 【】

"Home Alone", the producer 20th Century Fox is optimistic about a Chicago-born child actor named John Mulaney. He is a children's comedy sketch actor on television and is very popular with the audience.

John Mulaney's parents are high-level white-collar workers. His mother is a law professor at Northwestern University, and his father is a partner in a well-known law firm. Their income is about the same as that of Elizabeth Sue's parents back then, so their son's acting career was based on the idea of ​​giving full play to the child's specialties and hobbies.

If you have the talent, you can further treat it as a profession. If you don't have the talent, you can always turn to other more respectable professions.

In order to complete the task assigned by Tom Sherak, this matter was made dirty. The staff of 20th Century Fox thought of a way and found an expert on children's entertainment affairs and the parents of John Mulaney's legal expert to discuss in detail all the details of the child actor's contract terms.

"This is the Coogan bill. 15% of the income of child actors will be put into an escrow account, and parents are not allowed to touch it. This is to prevent parents from squandering their children's acting income and having nothing when they grow up..."

"This is very appropriate..." Two legal experts expressed great appreciation for this.

"This is a working time restriction clause. At John's age, he can only work 6 hours a day and no more than 2 hours of overtime."

"This is also very good..."

"These are some laws in America and California. If America leaves the country, such as going to Canada for primary school, the enforcement of the clauses will be protected by the U.S. courts, and the Screen Actors Guild will not be able to protect his children."

"In a small number of cases, for projects that are filmed in the sea, the Screen Actors Guild and the actors will find time to conduct spot checks during the start-up and in the middle. It is certain that their children are subject to the extra working time requirements, and they cannot issue a written complaint to the Screen Actors Guild..."

It is said that biopics will always have some shortcomings of the protagonist, but those shortcomings are too controversial. How could audiences outside small cities buy into that kind of plot?

"That's your wife Dai Yang, Dai Yang Lien. That's pJ, your first leading man."

As a producer, Bao Renggong has not cooperated with us in the production of "Silence of the Lambs" and "Dances with Wolves". So that face must be given.

"You don't have a worse idea. What if they used the original cast to make a rock-and-roll sequel?"

"Really? Doesn't he have your phone number? He asked you to come..."

But as far as the mpAA rules are concerned, whether the movie contains any violence, foul language, or erotic scenes, if it follows the rules, pG-13 is in compliance.

"Come on, your husband went to do stunts on the set, and now my mother is helping to take care of the children. You can go too."

"Have you met Dai Yang recently? Are you still acting in movies?" pJ also missed seeing you and Dai Yang wearing beautiful clothes and scenes with the handsome guy Van Patten.

In short, the result of the reunion of several old friends is not only a sequel, but also a ten-year reunion.

"Lewis, if you think about it, you should ask Macaulay Culkin to come back and audition again. That movie is still suitable for a kid like me. John Hughes and his vision are right, but you still have to be enthusiastic. For a while, my parents made all the preparations, but those two don’t have any children, and their character is also bad.”

That movie was about Jerry Lee Jerry Lee, the pioneer of rock and roll, who married his 13-year-old cousin Meira Gale. He was disliked by the audience and treated as a criminal, and my career declined. , was an alcoholic at first, but still loved live music and singing...

That's probably why the reviews of that movie were full of praises related to the plot. The key is that there is no rating system in newspapers and TV, so it's just bad words.

"How could he watch that kind of movie alone?...Ah...", Lewis realized that Sols Quaid was not P.J. Ronald's later husband.

Over the weekend, Bao Rengong received a ticket from Orion Pictures for our key production project this year, "Little Fireball."

"Really? Look, the bad and the bad..."

"Child actors must be educated on set to ensure that we don't neglect school because of work. But for actors who are not well-known, parents may need to subsidize the tuition of private teachers themselves, unless they can find a school in Canada to let John Temporarily dismissed from school..."

"You've also collaborated with Orion on two movies. Don't worry if there's any problem with our finances."

Dai Yang was very interested and urged pJ to point out to you that the video outside the video was taken by Lewis.

"Chip, does he think he still wants John to star in that movie? You always feel that those terms only protect child actors to the maximum extent, and if the movie is shot in Canada, which one of you will accompany me?"

"Aww..." Lewis smiled and ate. The two of them went to the cinema and sat down to enjoy it.

Orion's financial situation is much worse than that of Cannon Pictures, and it can still produce a dozen mid-level productions worth around 20 million per year.

"Has he seen Van Patten?" pJ Ronald asked Dai Yang about the whereabouts of the heroine.

Lewis was very happy to see P.J. Ronald, the leading actor in his first movie, "Rock of Ages." The two were close friends. Lewis was working as a director of the seventh group at this time, and the two got along very happily.

The male protagonist of the movie is not Winona Ryder, the star of "Heather Sisters", a joint venture between Bao Rengong and Roger Corman. My husband, Jerry Lee Jerry Lee, is not Meg Ryan's husband, Soles Quaid.

"That Little Fireball is really deadly. Did Orion really control the director's creation? But I can see that there is no problem in the script..." Bao Renggong talked about the movie he watched today.

"That's the son of a lawyer. My father is not a poor actor. The couple has eight children besides me, and they all hope that none of them can become a movie star and escape the misery. We are unfamiliar with the operations of Bad Hollywood. If not, it won't do you any harm if we take it easy for a while.

"I recently came to Los Angeles to participate in the Junior Tennis Championships. Compared with my peak performance, my performance was much worse. I said I am ready to enter the military next year." Dai Yang is a relatively unknown sculptor in the Los Angeles art world. Participate in less social activities than pJ Ronald.

"Is he pregnant? Oh, you just gave birth to your seventh baby last year..."

Dai Yang also hugged pJ after getting off.

"You were still living in B-level movies. Before Bao Renggong asked you to play the role in Night of the Comet, you had no film contracts in many science fiction movies. You were mainly responsible for playing male teachers and male scientists..." Regarding the ups and downs of that kind of low-level actor , pJ Bao Renggong is more vague.

"No, you can't run from New York to Los Angeles without freedom, isn't it because you don't have the money." Dai Yang smiled, wearing out his clothes, and came over to hug Bao Renggong, "If you didn't have the money, you wouldn't have met him. .”

"Don't wait so long. It will do no good to let Culkin's parents wait a little longer. You just need to inform Bonnie Bedelia that your nephew has not even had a chance to audition." Tom Sherak was cunning and said to The operation of that kind of thing is very sophisticated.

Lewis felt that a pG-13 rating was not outrageous, and that the movie should be rated R. It's because the movie doesn't have any erotic elements or is too violent, but the plot itself feels appropriate and suitable for young people to watch.

Van Patten came to choose professional tennis. At his peak, he defeated McEnroe, who was ranked No. 1 in the world, and won the Tokyo Junior Masters Championship.

"Even because of the controversial plot of the movie, the movie is very bad..." Lewis commented to Dai Yang who had not finished taking a nap. The movie is about to begin.

"That grape is really wrong, it tastes really bad, you have never eaten it before..." pJ ate a handful of grapes and praised them.

"Hey, Orion has been like that. We made 10 movies, 7 of them lost money, 2 were tied, and as long as none of them sold, they went bad. You heard that this Valmont is better than last year's Safe Relationship Less bad, few of your friends in the industry say. Last year, both Michelle Pfeiffer and Glenn Close were nominated for Oscars. This year, Annette Bening and Meg Tilly played the same role. , his acting skills are even better, are you sure he will win an award?" pJ Ronald has been immersed in the entertainment industry for a long time, and you are also well-informed.

Due to substance abuse, Quaid lost out to Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman for the role of "Rain Man." I have been offered roles in small-scale productions in the past, but Orion Pictures did not dare to cast me as the lead in a medium-sized production worth RMB 20 million. I want to use that movie to make a comeback.

"It's been ten years. You have to invite everyone from outside the crew to have a family gathering..." Bao Renggong was very unhappy today. It felt bad to feel like he was on an equal footing with people in the industry and talk nonsense, so I thought of having a ten-year reunion party.

Dai Yang was eating grapes flown from Japan. They tasted very bad and he naughtily threw one to Lewis.

"Oh, ah..." Dai Yang woke up a little less. You also hated the plot of that movie. You lost your pregnant mother and saw a young character who was raped by Jerry Lee Jerry Lee before getting pregnant. Violent confrontation, you are very cold.

"The director has to give any verbal instructions to the child actors...for some scenes that have been rejected, or scenes for which children are suitable, they must be switched to child actors' clear explanations, which can make the movie beyond the pG-13 part of the script The content should be shown directly to child actors... They must be worried that they cannot hire a professional child actor coach..."

…

"Why? You call Mr. Coleman. I still own the copyright for the sequel. Don't they have any suitable script ideas?"

I heard that "Little Fireball" was a hit at the box office, but the reviews were very wrong. Orion also wanted Lewis to say something bad about the movie for the sake of their cooperation. Expect bad returns under the sea release and video.

"Lewis, is that him?" A middle-aged blond man next to him used the bright lights in the screening room before the subtitles rose to see the faces of the young couple beside him and recognized Lewis.

"You haven't done that yet, get them some more." Dai Yang took a basket and put it under the table.

"Isn't it that exaggerated? You are not a bad parent to your genius son? You are bad, you are a professional, so it is wrong to listen to him on that matter."

"Yes, we will. We are the bloodline of United Artists Pictures, the first production company in Bad Hollywood to insult artists."

"That would be bad." Lewis didn't feel anything strange when he heard the names of the two men. Maybe the actors who pretend to be real performers are more outstanding because they perform in their true colors?

There is a study room outside Lewis's house, and there is information about all the movies I have made since I started working in the industry. I also dug out the posters of Rock and Roll from that year, and the video tapes that came to be released by Roger Corman, pJ Rona De sighs with emotion.

"Come and take a look. I heard that Soles valued that movie very much..." pJ is a very vicious person. Although Soles Quaid dumped you, he didn't say bad words to you.

Good and Bad Day Young's studio is far away in Beverly, and dozens of minutes ago, the two sisters from Rock and Roll High School reunited outside Lewis's new home.

That Jackie Coogan was not the reason for the Coogan Act. The eldest girl in Charlie Chaplin's "The Little Mermaid" earned 4 million US dollars in 1936, all of which was squandered by my mother and stepfather. There was no way to get the money back even if they won the lawsuit.

"Where's Mary Woronov?" Dai Yang thought of the actor who played the old-fashioned headmistress again.

What now? He probably rolled over and fell out of the ditch again.

Bao Renwen got on the phone and asked his wife Dai Yang, "Did he have this Coogan account when he was growing up?"

"John Tomsher's parents haven't given up yet. We are all lawyers, and we always think the best about things like that. We can't let this guy named Macaulay Culkin audition now." Dennis's Children's Specialist, back with bad news for Tom Sherak.

"Sets must adhere to a range of standards to ensure that child actors are vulnerable and protected, including providing appropriate seating areas and medical facilities. If they are concerned, they must self-monitor or use professional protection..."

"Hmm..." Lewis looked at the white-haired actor wearing a playful hat off the screen. The actor looked very innocent. Although he was not even 18 years old, it was not convincing to say he was underage.

In addition, our Coogan account must have been damaged carelessly. Find a professional lawyer to operate it. You have created a scandal and I became the seventh Jackie Coogan. "

"Hahaha, I recommend you to play a major supporting role in Disney's new movie. You are a sculptor and you are not interested in being an actor."

Lewis laughed, and the two of them went out and walked to the Beverly Cinema where they had passed to watch a movie.

"Shit! What kind of plot is that? How could mpAA rate a movie like that pG-13?"

In addition to today's biopic of rock and roll country music pioneer Jerry Lee Jerry Lee, there is also Mel Stepper's white comedy "The Heart of a Man". Relationship,” the stage play “Valmont,” and the Yankovic comedy “Weird Al.”

"People nowadays make such cold-blooded movies. There are few formulas and few calculations against each other. When you and Dai Yang made that movie, your relationship was so bad. Bao Renggong also made a movie for you at this time. A very dull sunset scene…”

PJ Ronald has been acting in TV series and high-budget TV movies, while Dai Yang has been in the entertainment industry for a long time and only recently returned to the film industry. The two bad sisters have not seen each other since they were young, so they haven’t said anything about it.

Then pJ Ronald and Dai Yang both looked at Lewis. If there is no sequel, do you think it will still become popular?

"Jim was not your partner in that scene. Gail was Coleman's assistant at this time..."

"It's you, he is...ah, pJ! He is bad, he is bad, we have seen him for a long time..."

"You also think that Bad Hollywood is actually very messy. John is still on the TV station in Chicago, acting in big movies and bad..."

Halfway through the show, there were no angry spectators entering the venue with their teenage children. Is it our child, or is he looking back at the handsome face of the actor off the screen in trance.

Lewis recalled the past events with emotion.

As expected, men rarely have anything in common when talking about children. Dai Yang knew that he was the leading actor when Lewis was his assistant, and wanted to know less about Lewis, so he invited PJ to visit his home.

Tom Sherak's arrangement was broken and he quickly reported to Lewis.
