Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Soon, Ronald confirmed the final round of "Dancing" audition list.

Two men and two women.

Ronald and screenwriter Eleanor took a fancy to, of course, Patrick Swaytz and Jennifer Gray.

However, with the rules of the trade union and the requirement of chemistry between the actors, two people were hired to replace them.

The man was Billy Zane, known by some as the new Marlon Brando. The woman Ronald knew, Sarah Jessica Parker.

Sarah is excited to make it to the final round of interviews. She and Robert Downey Jr. are boyfriends and girlfriends, and the two have come to a pivotal moment in each other's acting careers from small roles together.

Downey just teamed up with "America's Sweetheart"-Molly Ringwald on a romantic comedy called "The Pick Up Guys." He also got the male lead of another movie, telling the story of how a young man who was deeply immersed in stigma went to self-destruction.

Sarah starred in Disney's sci-fi film "UFO Navigator" last year, about a young boy who has a navigation map of an alien flying saucer in his head. Because the boy traveled at the speed of light, he returned to Earth ten years later and still maintained the appearance of a child. In the end, he was sent back to his childhood by a flying saucer.

Although Sarah is one of the heroines in it, she is only an intern of NASA, and she promoted the plot at a critical moment.

How can there be such a scene as the baby in "Spicy Dance"? The whole play revolves around the girl's love impulse. If you can get this role, both yourself and her boyfriend Downey can take a big step in their careers.

"We'll have you auditioning with each other, Sarah, with Billy, Jennifer and Patrick. Then we'll switch sets and try again."

Ronald saw Sarah Jessica Parker and nodded to her.

This actress is actually good at acting, but her nose is a little too big.

Not like Jennifer Gray at all, except that it's clearly Jewish.

The baby in this movie still has to be attractive, not a completely ordinary girl.

"Oh, it's you." Jennifer Gray turned her face away when she saw it was Patrick Thwaites.

"What's wrong?" Ronald and screenwriter Eleanor looked at each other, as if they had some "history"?

The music played, it was the black swing dance music of the fifties "Do you love me?"

With the accompaniment of the music, Gray pressed closely with Swayze, and the movements of the crotch and buttocks were made at close range, and blushing quickly climbed onto her face.

Looking at Patrick Swayze again, his face is serious, as if he doesn't know Jennifer Gray at all.

"It seems that there is indeed a problem." Ronald saw that the two seemed to have been in a relationship.

But this is a good thing. The two of them were originally lovers, and now they have such real feelings, which is a very good thing for filming.

However, Patrick Switz is married, no wonder he pretends not to know.

The two danced a fast-paced one, and then tried a slow-paced one.

Ronald asked his assistant to use the camera to capture all the footage, and the chemical reaction between the two was visible to the naked eye, and it was estimated that everyone on the scene discovered it.

This problem also affected another couple of men and women who auditioned, Sarah and Billy dancing a little listlessly.

The two stopped dancing and had a few words with each other before Sarah Jessica Parker asked for a pause.

Sarah slapped herself in the face several times in the corner of the room. She couldn't just lose to the other party. Even if she lost, she had to struggle.

Then the two began to dance to the accompaniment of the music. Ronald also instructed his assistant to record it.

But sometimes casting isn't all about hard work. Ronald also sighed as he looked at the two of them working so hard.

When there is no comparison, Sarah and Billy look okay. But there is that kind of love that can make people blush, this is a true performance that can't be compared to anything.

According to union rules, Ronald did not announce the result on the spot. He still asked the two to go back and wait for the call.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jennifer Gray angrily pushed the door in, and then slammed the door shut.

"Bang," the door made a loud noise, startling Gray himself.

Ignoring that her competitor Sarah Jessica Parker was next to her, she walked straight to Ronald and said, "Me and Patrick have me or him, you choose one."

Ronald shivered in fright, wasn't he still affectionate just now? How did it get like this now?

"Could it be that one of the parties failed? Or did Gray want Swayze to stop his wife and remarry?"

"Wait...wait..." Ronald quickly raised his hand to signal Jennifer Gray to stop, "This is not something you should decide, you go over there and calm down first."

Ronald pulled the screenwriter Eleanor over and asked her to talk to Gray, clichéd. Go out and find Patrick yourself to find out.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Billy Zane suddenly realized that they had an opportunity. After they exchanged glances, they walked out obediently and discussed how to ask their agent to help them in this situation. .

Ronald saw Patrick Switz outside the door, leaning against the wall in silence, and walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

Seeing him turn around, Ronald handed him a cigarette from Eleanor and lit it.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"You know, after I finished filming the outdoor urchin, I took on 'Red Dawn', and Jennifer Gray also played a role in it..."

Thwaites and Ronald put their heads together and talked about their grievances with Gray.

On the set of "Red Dawn," director John Milius was very strict with the young actors, not letting them live in trailers and sleeping in tents in the wild. Raise the alarm in the middle of the night to wake them up urgently.

"Red Dawn" is the story of a Soviet Union paratrooper parachuting into America and young men and women fighting guerrillas. Milius may be trying to make the actors fit into the situation as much as possible. But this life is too harsh on actresses.

Jennifer Gray and Leigh Thompson, both played female guerrillas. Thompson came from a hard life and worked part-time since he was a child. These problems are not big.

Jennifer Gray's father, Joel Gray, was a supporting actor in the musical and the film adaptation "cabaret" for which he won Oscars, Tonys, and Grammys in the '60s and '70s Three awards.

She has been a good daughter of her father since she was a child. She has never seen this kind of battle. She cried every time she was cleaned up without sanitary utensils. It was the charismatic male actor Patrick Swaytz who rescued her.

From then on in the crew, the two began to become a pair of temporary men and women, helping each other and completing Gray's extremely difficult scene.

But after her part was done, Gray wanted to stay with Swayze. It happened that Patrick's wife was coming to visit the class, and Swayitz didn't know what to say to Gray, but the two of them broke up.

"Your chemistry is very good. If you can cooperate, it will be a movie that will be remembered." After listening to the story, Ronald threw the butt of the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out with his foot.

It turned out to be a bloody story of the crew.

"Do you still want to play this role?" Ronald asked.

"Of course, after I read the script, I fell in love with the character of Johnny. In fact, my chemistry with Gray is very good, but I can't agree to his request, she is still a little girl psychologically, I don't know how Explain to her."

"You must know that the character baby in the movie is also a little girl who has not yet been admitted to college. Johnny is also more mature than baby in the script. If you can't convince him, I have a hard time believing that you can convince me when you are shooting. ."

"I... I just didn't react for a while. She still remembers things in 'Red Dawn' so deeply."

"Then go and talk to her alone. I don't care what method you use. If you can't get Jennifer to change her mind today, I'll consider changing someone. I don't care how much Eleanor likes the single-eyed macho."

"Oh, yeah? It's nothing special, I've seen a lot of simple rich girls like this." Swayitz was aroused by Ronald's fighting spirit.

"Fine, get her done."

"How long has he been in there?" Ronald asked the screenwriter Eleanor half an hour later, looking at his watch.

"It's been more than twenty minutes, and you've asked it three times, Ronald. It seems that you're just talking about it, and you still hope that Swayze and Gray will star together." Eleanor heard Ronald He was also taken aback when he asked Swayze to succeed if he didn't succeed.

Now it seems that Ronald is to motivate the other party and ask him to deal with personal problems with Gray.

"Squeak..." The door for the two actors to negotiate individually was pulled open.

Jennifer Gray's eyes were red and swollen from crying, almond eyes and teardrops.

Unexpectedly, Patrick Switz, who came out from behind, also had red eyes.

"You're talking about..." Ronald looked at the small eyes under Swayze's single eyelid, why are you crying too? Is this negotiated, or has it collapsed?

"I talked to Patrick, and I'd like to play this movie with him." Jennifer Gray gave Patrick a shy look.

Swayze, a little embarrassed, pulled up his collar over his neck. Mouthed Ronald, "I got it."

"Very good," Ronald knew it was done. "Starting next week, Patrick, you're going to have choreography training. I found a good dancer to work with you."

"What about me?" Jennifer Gray asked Ronald while looking at Swayze.

"You don't have to participate," Ronald replied.

"By the way, your father Joel is a dancer, right. I'll give him a call. During this time, you are not allowed to teach you dance."

"Why?" Gray pouted, wouldn't this separate her from Swayze again?

"There's no reason, just do as I say."

"Oh".

Jennifer Gray seemed to have more feelings for this kind of man who treated her simply and rudely.

"By the way," Ronald remembered something when he dialed Joel Gray's phone, and turned to the screenwriter Eleanor.

"Did the music director Danny Goldberg call? What's going on with the rights to his songs? I'm not going to use it when I'm rehearsing."

"He just called and said that he is still talking with people from major record companies, and there is no progress for the time being. But it will be done before shooting starts."

"I have to call him too. What happened? Every time I say it's done." Ronald complained in a low voice.

Patrick Swaytz over there heard this, as if he had an idea, he wanted to go forward to chat with Ronald, and saw Jennifer Gray standing between him and Ronald, and quickly took a step back.

Don't just coax it, what happened again.
