Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Hearing Clint Eastwood's words, Ronald had an inexplicable feeling of "that's amazing". A big star can threaten the producer face-to-face in this way, gain a certain status in Hollywood, and become a box office guarantee for a certain type of film, so they can act according to their own wishes.

"Hum..." Weintraub, as a concert producer who had managed Elvis, Frank Sinatra, a big-name singer, didn't care about this level of threat at all.

"I think this Danny should still be played by a professional actor. Susan, you go to draft a list of young actors who have become famous in recent years. We will come one by one. John, you can choose slowly now, all the Everyone is up to you."

"Susan, call Steve McQueen's widow and ask his son to audition for those villainous supporting roles in Cobra Dojo."

Weintraub arranged the next audition in a few seconds. He has completely turned the corner. The second generation of these stars can only play some supporting roles, and the main roles must be professionally selected according to the situation of the roles.

This will not only borrow the fame of the stars and attract the media to interview, but will not destroy the development of the whole story.

Ronald came home and took a hot shower. All aspects of this film are on track, and I can start thinking about my next directing project.

Ronald, who was wiping his hair, wanted to call Nisita to make an appointment to talk about the new movie. He helped select several teen films from various companies, many of which were mid-range productions from major studios.

The message red light on the phone turned on again, indicating that someone had left a message, and Ronald pressed the play button.

"drop……

Ronald, I'm Marlene, Marlene Jahan. do you remember me? The material you wrote for me to prove that I was acting as a stand-in in 'Blitz Dance' got me a formal actor contract, I was playing a supporting role on 'Rage Streets' and I wanted to call to thank you.

Well, then, your friend Diane Lane is here too, and the filming here is slow and everyone's a little bored, so if you're free, come and visit. Yes, it is like that. "

Ronald scratched his head, "Street of Rage" has already started filming, it doesn't sound like the filming was going well. Diane also worked hard, so she went to visit the class to see how her new film performed.

...

"Did you forget to say yesterday, let Ronald call to confirm the visit time?" Diane Lane, wearing a t-shirt and jeans, was sitting and letting the hair stylist do her hair. Next to her is Marlene Jahan, who plays a supporting role as a bar dancer in the film.

"You care about him so much, why don't you just call him directly?" Ma Lin, as a hair-haired Chinese, couldn't understand Diane's mentality. "Is it the custom of your American girls not to call boys?"

Diane waved, and the hair stylist left knowingly.

"No, you don't understand, Ronald is a very special person. Not like everyone else."

"Others? Like Michael Parr?" Marlene laughed. Parr, the actor who played the leading role in the play, recently fell in love with Diane and sent him flowers every day. Pal is also of Chinese nationality, but Ma Lin thinks he is very handsome.

"Uh... ugh..." Diane made a vomit gesture, "This guy is very annoying, he makes a squeaking noise every day with his folding knife."

"Hahaha", Ma Lin laughed with her. This former chef, relying on a woman, is actually a very shallow person.

Hair, makeup, focus, and a long wait for the lighting to finish.

Diane sat in the lounge and listened to the same Sony Walkman Ronald gave him.

Today is the first day of filming for the concert. Director Walter Hill hopes that the leading actors can concentrate on rehearsing their positions.

and lip-synching. He decided to use a special lighting method to shoot the episode of the concert in an unparalleled sense of explosion.

In addition to the special arrangement of lighting, he also hired a fashion designer to design a sexy rock singer costume for Diane's heroine Alan Ann.

Of course, neither of those are in place today, mainly for Diane, the actor Michael Parr, and the villain Willem Dafoe to do a rehearsal, this kind of live music and dance on stage, since the golden age of musicals passed. After that, no one took pictures for many years.

He would rather spend a little more time getting the actors familiar with how the stage moves, rather than adjusting while filming. Most of the technical staff who can make musicals are also retired and old, and the new team also needs rehearsal to break in.

"Diane, please come here, we can start rehearsal." Director Walter Hill took out the microphone and asked Diane to come to the stage in front of the studio to start the rehearsal.

Sitting in a corner of the stage is the film's music director, Jim Steinman. He took his band's pre-recorded single and put the tape into the recorder.

There's a blast of drums, followed by keyboards, and finally an electric guitar solo.

"Ahhhh..." The harmony singer's voice recalled.

"Now!" Director Walter Hill made a gesture, and Diane came up from the edge of the stage.

"Lying in your bed on a Saturday night

You are sweaty and not even hot.

But your brain has got the message

it's sending it out

to every nerve and every muscle of yours"

A deep and passionate female voice began to sing the opening episode of the movie.

Diane was holding an old-fashioned stage microphone, frowning, and lip-synching.

"Very good, it seems that you have memorized the lyrics." The director said with satisfaction, motioning Jim Steinman to turn off the recording.

Walter Hill was about to continue instructing Diane when the actor Michael Parr, playing with his butterfly knife in one hand and holding a large bouquet of flowers in the other, ran up from the other side of the stage, "Diane, you sing today very good."

Diane gave him a roll of eyes, then took the bouquet and threw it into the trash can next to it.

"Puchi" Marlene Jahan couldn't help laughing, "Hey, brother, don't waste this bunch of flowers."

"Move your ass to the auditorium for me." Director Walter Hill scolded Parr angrily and helplessly.

"Okay," Michael Parr looked decadent. He was actually not afraid of the director. His lover was the executive producer of the film. As long as it didn't go too far, the director couldn't do anything to him.

"Oh, here we go again." Willem Dafoe, who played the villain and supporting role, covered his face. He also had a scene here. After the song was finished, he rushed up from the stage and kidnapped Alan Ann, played by Diane. Snatch it on the shoulder.

And this Pal, who played the leading actor Cody, had no role today. But he is like a bull in rut in the crew, and he has already soaked up several actresses in the crew. Only the heroine Diane was honest with him, but this aroused his interest again, and he came to attack him every day.

This kind of behavior even led to the actresses he had soaked in, eating Di An's dry vinegar, and then other admirers of these actresses were also very dissatisfied.

"Hey, Walter, didn't I bother you?" Ronald and his agent Richard, seeing that the crew had finished their rehearsal, walked in from outside, holding a bunch of small flowers and handing them to Diane.

"Good luck with your shoot," Ronald hugged Diane, who is still wearing a t-shirt and jeans today, and she doesn't look like a rock star.

"What, haven't your costumes arrived yet? When will you be able to dress like a rocker?" Ronald and Diane quipped.

"The designer has let me try it on. He said that the dress needs some adjustments. I wear it very well." Diane quietly pulled Ronald's arm and said with a smile.

"Oh, there's already a bunch of flowers here?" Ronald found the big flowers in the trash, much bigger than the ones he sent.

"I just like what you gave me." Di Anle turned around to take the flowers from Ronald into the lounge.

"Would you like me to order another one for you? Like the one you gave to Helen?" the agent Richard reminded beside him.

"Humph!" As soon as Diane put away the bouquet, she heard that Ronald sent flowers to Helen, and a feeling of irritability rose in her heart.

Diane ducked into the lounge, closed the door, tossed the bouquet on the table, and started packing her cosmetic bag. Lipstick, powder, mirror, Walkman... Throw them into the bag one by one.

Seeing the Walkman, Diane poked her bag on the table again, and slammed the table twice with a vengeance.

A sense of grievance came to her heart, Diane buried her head deeply in her arms, and lay down on the table for a while.

Then she stood up, tidied up her hair, and the stubbornness of a New York taxi driver's daughter took over Diane's chest again.

Diane in the "Outdoor Urchin" crew, the "Betta Fish" crew, and even the current "Angry Street" crew, are surrounded by a group of outstanding actors, the queen that everyone wants to pursue but can't.

"It's time to wake up." Diane looked at her youthful face in the mirror, then ran to the stage and said to director Walter Hill, "You can start doing it all over again."

Walter Hill, is exchanging some musical film shooting tips with Ronald. He knew that there were similar musical scenes in Ronald's films, and that Ronald had written the script for musicals like "Grease 2". The two chatted about how to run the camera.

Hearing Diane's "order," director Hill made a slight difference, then snapped his fingers at music director Jim Steinman.

"You have so many dreams

you don't know where to put them

so you better get some of them out

You have a feeling in your body that it's starting to rust

You better make it work, put it to work"

Diane sang into the microphone, and a slightly hoarse female voice popped out of the speaker very powerfully.

Ronald was very surprised by this song, as if someone sang it at the scene. The singing has a sense of three-dimensionality and penetration, which makes him feel that the sound is immersive. He couldn't help but look at Diane, trying to see if Diane was singing live.

When she was filming "The Magic Stain" before, it seemed like she didn't know how to sing?

Ronald took a closer look again and was sure it wasn't Diane singing live. Although her brows were clenched, and her hands firmly grasped the old-fashioned floor-standing microphone, her core and abdomen were slack, and she did not use the strength of her dantian to sing, so she would definitely not be able to sing such a powerful song.

"What do you think?" Walter Hill asked Ronald next to him after waiting for Diane to lip-synch.

"It's a really good song." Ronald looked at Jim Steinman, the music director next to him, who responded with a smile.

"I'm asking about Diane's performance," said director Hill.

"Uh," Ronald thought for a while, but still told him bluntly. He also hoped that Diane could improve in his acting skills and act like what kind of person.

"I think it's very good, but there is still some room for improvement, her singing posture, and Sissy Spacek, who won the Oscar two years ago, are still a little short.

"How much do you know about singers?" Diane choked Ronald when he heard what he said.

Then Diane walked quickly to the music director, took a guitar from behind him and handed it to Ronald, "Don't you know very well how a singer should play? Come on, show me how!"

Ronald looked at the angry Diane, and felt a little regretful in his heart. After all, she was a girl who had just turned eighteen years old. The tone of his speech might not be very good, which stabbed Diane's self-esteem.

"I don't know either..."

"I think you understand it quite well. If there is anything wrong, just say it."

Ronald's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Diane had an opinion about him. He had to take the guitar and put the belt over his shoulder.

A random swipe of the strings, all in good tune.

Then Ronald covered the strings to stop the sound, and then he strummed and began to sing the song, on the guitar taught by John Fogarty himself, "Who will stop the rain"

"It has been raining for as long as I can remember.

Mysterious clouds are pouring down on the ground, bewildering.

Good people through the ages have been trying to find the sun

I wonder, I still wonder, who can stop this rain? "

"bravo!" Music director Jim Steinman was the first to applaud, and this song really has a seven-eighth level of Fogarty's original singer.

"Bravo!" Director Hill, Willem Dafoe, who played the villain, and Marlene Jahan, all applauded.

Diane looked into Ronald's eyes angrily, and slowly began to soften, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Actually, your performance is already very good. I'm just talking about a small detail from the singer's point of view." Ronald saw that Diane had returned to normal, and then said,

"Have you seen Sissy Spacek's 'The Coal Miner's Daughter'? She actually sings in the movies, you can find it, when she sings, her voice is loose, but the position of the lower abdomen They are all very tight, which is a common feature of professional singers, abdominal breathing, and Dantian exerting force."

"Is that so?" Diane began to ponder and learn.

"Yes, a little further down." Ronald looked at Diane's posture and said a few words.

"Anything else? Any other suggestions?" Diane looked up at Ronald with sparkling eyes.

"Also? I think about it, Qian Qian is playing a country singer, and you are a female rock singer. The style of rock and roll should have a bit of anger, and you can't be as relaxed as the country."

Ronald scoured his brain and thought about a little suggestion. Seeing that Diane was still rubbing his abdomen, as if he couldn't find the position, Diane raised his head and looked at Ronald, as if asking for help.

"That's it," Ronald took Diane's hand and placed it lightly on his lower abdomen.

"Crack!" Diane slapped Ronald's arm hard.

"Ow," Ronald exclaimed softly, touched his arm with his hand, and asked, "What's the matter? Am I wrong?"

"Didn't you say be angry?" Diane slapped Ronald again in the arm.

"Uh..., yes, that's it." Ronald felt that Diane had found the feeling, and hurriedly avoided. Her father, Bert, didn't know what genre of acting it was, so hitting people so hard did find a sense of anger very effective.

"Hum," Diane walked to the center of the stage again, motioning Jim Steinman to play the recording again.

At the moment of the prelude, Diane looked back at Ronald, "Will you come to see me tomorrow? Tomorrow I will put on the costume and officially shoot the scene."

"Uh... ok, I'll come." Ronald touched his arm, it seemed that this was Diane's major scene, she was still a little unconfident, she should come to cheer.
