Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Why don't you have a room, didn't you tell the assistant about it?" Ronald pulled Ralph Mazio into the room and gave him a towel to wash his face in hot water.

"This is what Director Coppola asked for. The character I played Johnny was a very poor family in the Oil Head Gang. His parents fought all day long and ignored the children. That's why he was stabbed to death later. The plot of Bob of the Boys Gang."

Ralph was twenty years old, and of all the boys, like Patrick Swaytz, the only adult actor over twenty.

"So he wanted me to feel like I didn't have a home to go back to. I could take five dollars a day and eat and sleep on my own. I didn't find a place to sleep today and slipped in when the front desk wasn't paying attention."

"You can't sleep on the street," Ronald handed him a glass of water. "Or you can sleep with me tonight, and I'll talk to Francis tomorrow, and you will sleep with me in the future."

"It's okay, Ronald. It's for acting." Ralph Mazio rejected Ronald's offer. "I wanted to play Johnny when I auditioned, so Coppola asked me to play other roles. When I was in a role, I pretended to be dead, I didn't want him to think that I could play other gangsters."

Ronald laughed. At that time, Coppola disrupted everyone's identities and put them together to audition, which made everyone very nervous. It was rare that Mazio could think so deeply.

"You can sleep here tonight, I think Coppola just wants you to experience the feeling of being poor and not having a home. Staying in someone else's room can also help you fully experience this embarrassment.

Besides, you are always walking outside, and the old house is not soundproof. It is estimated that many people will be woken up by you like me. "

"Okay, but I'm sleeping on the floor."

Ronald knew that Mazio was trying to experience the role, so he stopped persuading him. He took out the extra sheets in the cupboard and threw them on the floor for Mazio, letting him sleep all night.

"Francis, I don't think this will work, right? Mazio has nowhere to go, so he just wanders outside. If he doesn't find a family to stay with him tonight, does he want him to find a newspaper who is outside?"

The next day, Ronald approached Coppola for advice. In this way, the actor's experience of life seems to have passed a little.

"And if Mazio catches a cold, it won't delay the crew's rehearsal progress." Seeing that Coppola was indifferent, Ronald found another reason.

"Yes, we have to find a place for Mazio to sleep. But the production director has no spare room." Coppola finally reacted.

"Why don't you let him sleep in my room?"

"Do not,

Let him sleep in my room, I'll go to sleep at home, and I'll drive over every day from now on. "Hinton can't see such a thing, it's all about the suffering that happened to her when she was a child. Now Mazio is a small accomplished actor, and there is no reason for him to share a room with the special assistant.

Coppola nodded, seeing that he didn't need to look for the production director any more, paying an extra room would solve the problem, and he didn't care.

"You're going to have to say more about your art in the future, Ronald. I'm not asking you to be a side producer."

On this day, the crew began formal rehearsals. Ronald, carrying a Sony betacam, and the director of photography relayed footage of the rehearsal.

The conference hall in the hotel is arranged as a rehearsal room, with various chairs as props, and the actors rehearse scene by scene according to the sequence in the script.

"Ronnie!" the DP yelled at Ronald, winking. He ran out of camera tape.

Ronald picks up with his own camera.

"How do I know if this red hair is natural? Is she the same color as yours...ah...ah...the same eyebrow color?" Matt Dillon sat on the chair, stroking Diane's hair in front of him with his hands , to smell her neck again.

"Get your feet off my back, shut up!" Diane Lane ducked, then scolded.

"Cut! Good. Diane, remember it was a flirt, but not the bully kind, Dillon keeps your attitude."

"I see," Diane agreed, chewing the gum, then poofed the gum in Dillon's direction.

She was actually very disgusted with Dillon's acting, which was almost like harassment. But the director said yes, she could only agree.

"continue……"

After the afternoon rehearsal, Ronald was watching all the rehearsal tapes with Coppola and the apprentice director arranged by the Directors Guild.

All the rehearsals were filmed, and Ronald didn't quite understand the need for it. It's like shooting the movie first with an inferior Sony camera. What's the benefit of this?

"What do you guys think of this scene?" Coppola pointed to the scene in which Dillon's Dalí flirts with Diane's Cherry at the drive-in.

"I feel good, the emotions are very strong." The girl who got the director's union trainee position began to express her opinion.

Coppola looked at Ronald.

"The rhythm and the interaction between the actors are good, but the intensity of the emotions?"

Coppola nodded, but did not express his opinion.

"Does he have any other tricks? Use it when you keep it for real shots?" Ronald pressed down the doubts in his heart, quietly took out his notebook, and wrote down his doubts.

"I'm finished."

"I'm just finished."

Tom Cruise, and Rob Lowe, the two handsome guys were talking to each other at the door of the hotel. They're going to be sent to a real Oil Head gang family for dinner today, and they're going to sleep in their house and experience life.

"Don't be afraid, Moretti is the prototype of a gang member in the Oil Head Gang, the big guy who knocked out other people's teeth in a fight. They are both very good people." Hinton comforted them with a smile.

The two looked at each other, and were even more afraid of the night's guest trip.

"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Moretti."

The two handsome guys, tremblingly, knocked on the door of the family that Hinton contacted them.

"Oh, you must be Tom and Rob." Moretti, a tall man, hugged the two actors warmly, and his wife, who is also Italian, brought out the prepared meals and put them on the table.

"Hinton told us that you want to come and experience the family situation of the Oil Head Gang. I didn't expect that the director of the 'Godfather', Mr. Coppola, will finally be made into a movie. We Italians respect him very much. ."

Tom and Rob looked at each other, as if the big man was not as scary as the book said.

"Do you know the horse boy in the book, and the soda pop family?" Tom Cruise asked a question while eating dinner.

"Of course, we were good friends."

"Then you, the Oil Head Gang, and the Young Master Gang, were really mortal enemies like Li, did you fight as soon as you met?" Rob Lowe also found that the big Moretti was actually very enthusiastic and began to ask questions.

Moretti put down his knife and fork, "Hey, in fact, I and many of the sons of the sons are teammates of the football team. We call them the sons (soc), but they are not much richer than our greasers.

Tulsa is a coal mining town, and the oil heads in the south are miners of Italian descent. Many sons in the north are also accountants, cashiers, technicians, etc. in coal mining companies. They live a little better than us, but how can they be better?

We fought each other for some inexplicable reason, and we're all stuck in this town now, and we can't go there. However, there are a few smart kids like Ma Zai who have left the small town to California, New York, and Chicago. They are the ones who succeeded in getting out of this poor land. "

When he was young, Moretti, the boss of the Oil Head Gang, looked at his children on the table and looked at them very lovingly, "You little brats, listen to me, if you want to go out in the future, don't stay in Tulsa."

"The soda in me seems to be pitiful, and my girlfriend dumped her and ran away with the others. How did the soda live in the end?"

Seeing that the Oil Head Gang was also a person with flesh and blood, and respected his own children like Hinton, Rob Law boldly asked about the role he played, the second brother of the protagonist Ma Zai, soda pop.

"Hey, he was drafted and died in Vietnam."

Rob Lowe and Tom Cruise stopped talking, and the future of the young people in this place was desperate.

They asked about the current status of other character archetypes and the details of their lives, and gradually gained a deeper understanding of the roles they played.

After the two finished their meal, they lay down for an hour at You Tou Gang's house. In the small shotgun room, the two actors slept on the same bed, and the two had a deeper understanding of the living environment behind the characters' various behaviors.

The two slept for a while, and came out to say goodbye to the oil head gang. They have many children at home, and if they go to sleep, there will be no place for other people's children to sleep.

"I don't think that's what's behind the character of soda..." Rob Lowe said to Tom Cruise.

The two entered the hotel lobby while chatting and walked to their room.

"Ronald, I don't want to stay here for a day."

The two suddenly found out at the corner of the end of the aisle, a red-haired girl, holding special assistant Ronald, as if still crying.

"It looks like Diane, our cherry?" Rob pulled Tom, and the two exchanged glances around the corner, "What's going on? It seems interesting."

Ronald gently patted Diane in his arms, comforting slowly.

After calling Ronald just now, Diane ran down, hugged Ronald at the door and started complaining.

"Scared me."

"Don't worry, I'm here. Did someone prank you?" Ronald felt that Diane's body was shaking, as if he was frightened enough.

This girl is quite bold, it is not easy to be scared like this.

Ronald pulled Diane upstairs, and saw Tom Cruise and Rob Lowe around the corner, "Hey, why are you here, come up together, Diane has been teased enough, let's help her clean it up ."

"First, my doorknob was painted with a lot of Vaseline, and I couldn't turn it." Diane pointed to his door.

Ronald reached out and touched it, and there was still a little residue, so that the handle slipped when he turned it, and the person who made this prank was really a genius.

"Then I went to the bathroom and found this written on the mirror."

Diane let the three boys into the room, and the words "Go to hell, Bitchi" were written on the mirror in the bathroom with lipstick.

"I was so angry that I used the shower head to water it and tried to wipe it off, but the shower head in the shower also broke and sprayed me all over my face."

Diane pointed to the shower head to show them again, which had been violently damaged and sprayed from the side as soon as it was boiled.

"I was so angry that the toilet seat was covered in honey."

"Pfft..." Rob Law and Tom Cruise couldn't help laughing. This prankster really understands human psychology. Diane must have been angry after finishing so many things, and just sat down like this, not all...

Ronald laughed too, and he turned on the hot water, wet the towel, and wiped the honey off the toilet seat.

"Anything else? I guess you won't be scared like that." Ronald said, looking at Diane, whose hair was dyed dark red.

"And then my bed."

Di An led the three boys to the side of the bed. The sheets on the bed were cut off. When he lay down to rest and stretched his feet, he would come across some pre-placed plush toys, and was startled.

"And here," Diane pulled away the pillow, a patch of red ink. Leaning on the pillow, she was startled by the toy on the bottom of her feet, and then the ink that had been added to the plastic bag in advance sprayed out, which scared people enough.

This series of pranks has made Diane Lane so bad. Just finished a day's rehearsal and wanted to rest early. When he came across this set, Ronald reckoned that if he were himself, he would be angry and find the perpetrator and beat him.

"They left a note on my bed," Diane handed a piece of paper.

Ronald took it and read, "We'll be back tomorrow."

I don't know if it was a prank by the actors from that gang? Maybe both sides?

Ronald had a guess in his heart that Coppola might just want to create such a disgusting situation and let the actors immerse themselves in their emotions, in order to achieve the effect of finally revealing their true feelings.

Di An's cherry, originally belonged to the girlfriend of the Gongzi Gang. She was beaten by her boyfriend, so she approached the child Mazai of the Youtou Gang.

Because Ma Zai talked to the women of the Gongzi Gang, it caused a war between the two gangs. In the end, Johnny and Ma Zai were bullied by someone in the pool and almost suffocated. Then there was the scene where Johnny stabbed Bob of the Young Master Gang to death and the two escaped.

Is this to make Diane feel rejected by both gangs? It happened that she lived in the middle of the two gangs.

But even if it's a prank, it's a bit too much to make it like this.

"What's your schedule today? Has there been no one in the room?" Ronald asked Diane.

"First breakfast, then go to rehearsal, then come back for lunch..." Diane said.

"What about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow is about the same."

Ronald had a calculation in his mind, "Tom, I have paint for the scene that the art team put there in my room, go and get a bottle."
