Exploiting Hollywood 1980

"Why don't you add classical music to this commercial? I feel that the image you shot has a baroque aesthetic. Well, I recommend Albinoni's 'Adagio in G Minor', which goes well."

David Watkin was in Stockholm for a few more days with his partner, and after a tour of the city, he came to the post-production studio where Ronald worked to watch his edits.

"Can you find me an Adagio in G minor?" Ronald had done most of the film editing, and now adds the score and narration to the commercial.

Soon, the staff found a copy of Albinoni's "Adagio in G Minor", Ronald played, a very sad tune, and played it out of the headphones.

"My colleague, I will apply for a pass tomorrow. After receiving you, you don't need to go through the formalities and can go directly to the Pine Forest Studio."

"Thank you." Ronald was in a happy mood. After a tense few months of filming, Helen doesn't know how she's doing now.

...

In the Pinewood studio outside London, the largest super studio, today happened to be Supergirl played by Helen Slater and classmate Lucy Lane played by Maureen Tiffie in the filming of the school scene.

The two became friends at school and often played together. And Selena, the witch played by Faye Dunaway, found high school student Linda Lee, the Kryptonian visitor she was looking for.

It's only ten minutes before the scheduled start time, and Faye Dunaway, the star of the movie, has not arrived yet. Even if she came now, she still had to rehearse and move, so she wouldn't even think about starting filming within half an hour.

Helen and Maureen Tiffie had to go back to the dressing room and wait and chat.

"Donna Wei has always been like this lately, often late, and dragging the morning scenes into the afternoon." Helen gradually fell in love with the role of Supergirl after filming slowly. The unprofessional behavior of the leading supporting role made her a little annoyed.

Faye Dunaway was not only late, but her attention began to slacken. Many times, the other party would not respond to her carefully practiced lines, which made Helen, who had just started acting in movies, for fear of affecting her performance.

"Leave her alone, you can't just act on this puppet." Maureen Tiffie, an old acquaintance of Ronald, who played the heroine in "Famous in the World" back then, got along with Helen. Yes, they became friends on and off the show.

She is much older than Helen and has a lot of experience. She is the one who comes to solve Helen at this time.

"Faye Dunaway's problem is very big. I heard that the director has an idea to change people, but she couldn't find an actress of the same magnitude to take over in a short time, so she was allowed to continue."

"I never thought that an actor with the highest salary in the crew would become so unprofessional." Helen began to complain.

"She doesn't want to either," Maureen Tiffie woke up to Helen's childish thought. "She's now deeply involved in illegal drugs and can't extricate herself."

"Huh?" Helen's blue eyes widened, "I'm really slow, she's all?"

In the classroom interior set up in the studio, the director Schwak is sitting in a chair, his eyes are focused on infinity, and others seem to have no focus.

"Go and urge Fei's assistant again to see when she can clean up herself." The director looked at his watch, another half an hour had passed, and there was still no news from Donna Wei.

In today's scene, Selina, the witch played by Donna Wei, will be in direct contact with Supergirl for the first time, so I can't shoot Helen first.

"Ahhh..." In Dunaway's room, she was crying bitterly. Her husband Terry O'Neal didn't come to the hotel today, and she felt uncomfortable all over her body.

"Fei? How do you feel?" The assistant asked her tentatively as she opened the door and came in.

"Terry? Terry here? You're not Terry, where is Terry? Get him for me!" Faye Dunaway screamed in a hoarse voice when he saw that he was not his second husband , grabbed the assistant's clothes and started pleading.

"Ah..." The assistant was startled, and quickly jumped out of Donna Wei's scratching, and ran away without looking back.

Hearing the whispers of Dunaway's assistant in the studio, director Schwak reluctantly announced that today's shooting was canceled.

"Hey, it's canceled again. I think if it goes on like this, the director may delete the witch's scene." Maureen Tiffie heard the news in the lounge and lamented that the shooting was likely to be overdue, and she was trapped in London , I don't know if the broker can find more invitations for himself.

"Well..." Helen couldn't understand, Faye Dunaway took the highest salary of all the actors in the crew, and after such unprofessional behavior spread, it would have a bad reputation in the future, and it was possible to take over the role. less.

The two friends took advantage of the stoppage to go shopping in town and then have a meal. Anyway, the image of Supergirl requires muscles and body, without dieting. This period of time can be said to be the healthiest period of weight after Helen joined the Academy of Performing Arts as an actress.

Helen, who was about to return to the hotel to change clothes, suddenly found a familiar figure in the studio.

"Ronnie? Why are you here? I thought you were working on that movie script in Los Angeles?" Helen was overjoyed, wearing a school uniform with a green jacket and a gray skirt, and rushed up happily.

Ronald picked up Helen, "I miss you, there is nothing in the world that can compare to you."1
