Exploiting Hollywood 1980

The latest website: The old lady who suffered from heat stroke this time was playing a thief who stole from the resort, called Mrs. Schumacher. She dresses like a rich man, but with her husband, she steals tourists' valuables and clothing.

This also caused Johnny to be framed as a thief later, lost his job at the resort hotel, and was kicked out of the baby's life.

Originally this role was played by screenwriter Eleanor, who asked Dr. Ruth, a famous late-night radio host in New York, to play.

Ruth Westheimer, a German-Jewish psychologist who escaped the Holocaust and came to America during World War II, started a late-night radio in New York in the early 1980s when she was 55 Talking about sex programs, answering female and male listeners on the program, all kinds of embarrassed to ask friends private questions.

She was well known on the East Coast and throughout America, and people loved her stance on speaking up for women. Use safety measures, the girl's body decides by itself, don't have a one-night stand with a loved one, etc... Her point of view is very popular with girls working in big cities.

Of course in the conservative South, she was seen as a mere joke. She was also nicknamed Female Floyd.

But when it was learned that Ronald asked her to play a thief, Dr. Ruth quit. Ronald had no choice but to find the old lady who had been acting on Broadway all his life.

After learning that she was all right, Ronald resumed filming.

Jennifer Gray is still the same, giving Swayze the back of the head before the shoot, and the back of the head after the shoot.

Ronald thought of a number of ways, including talking privately with Gray and Swayze, asking Cynthia Rhodes, and screenwriter Eleanor to persuade privately, all to no avail.

Ronald, who was at a loss, even thought of changing roles. Swap the lead actress Jennifer Gray for Sarah Jessica Parker, who was eliminated in the final round of auditions.

It didn't take long for this idea to arise, and it was drowned out by the bill he received from the Mountain Lake Resort Hotel.

To prevent heat stroke, Ronald ordered some extra ice cubes and a chilled drink, and the Mountain Lake Hotel offered the retail price of a hotel during the peak season.

Looking at the numbers at the end, Ronald crumpled the bill and threw it viciously to the ground.

"This is a robbery, a robbery!" Ronald looked at the cost of serious overruns. The first half of the reserve fund had been spent, and the second half of the reserve fund had been used.

A total of 1.5 million reserve funds will be held until the filming is completed,

are all dangerous. It may be necessary to use the funds that were originally used for the issuance.

"orge on", Nisita picked up the bill on the ground, opened it slowly, and smoothed it on the table.

"You're past the last possible point. It's been close to a week of shooting, and you've shot a lot of Gray and Swaytz, and if you do it all over again, plus the cost of the replacement, and all the actors and work When the crew follows you to reshoot the scene, your cost of filming will probably double."

"Fuck, I knew Jennifer Gray was unreliable, how could she be like this."

Ronald took the ice-cold Coke that Nisita handed him in annoyance and drank it with his neck back.

"You only have two choices now, either bite the bullet and finish the shoot, or simply stop, stop the project, and accept the loss."

"I..." Ronald's breath that had just calmed down was aroused again, "No, never!"

"Well, you have to find a way to get Gray to cooperate."

Nisita put the smoothed bill back on the table, "I'm here to bring you good news."

"Oh? What good news?" Ronald flattened the Coke bottle, slammed it into a flat sheet of aluminum, and threw it in the trash.

"I found you corporate sponsorships, and they can give you a million dollars for an ad placement in the movie."

"what!"

Ronald smiled brightly, this is great news, and his big problem has been solved.

"Who likes me so much? I put a big feature on their products."

"It's Procter \u0026 Gamble's Clearing Acne Cream." Nisita visited many companies in Hollywood and finally found a suitable sponsor for Ronald's project.

They heard about Ronald's new film and were surprised that he didn't have ads. But after learning that Ronald himself invested in and distributed the film, he understood the problem.

However, after internal discussions within the company, their marketing director defied all opposition and decided to invest in Ronald's new film.

This is because the marketing director is Ronald's movie fan. He also asked Ronald's old friend, Maguire, the creative director of the advertising agency. He knew that the return on investment of Ronald's previous placement ads was very high. He also directed a series of Burger King commercials before agreeing to write a check.

"They want to have a close-up, the main character or the main supporting character, who is using the Keliying acne cream in front of the mirror, and the close-up of the logo should not be less than two seconds."

"No problem, I'll write a new paragraph for them, add drama, add drama."

With money as a backer, Ronald's brain has returned to normal operation.

"So, you call Jennifer's father, Joel Gray. Ask him to guest-star the liar Mr. Schumacher. Jennifer was obviously a good father's daughter during the audition, and we asked Joel to give her a little bit of pressure. , to make her behave a little more professionally."

Ronald immediately came up with an idea to make Jennifer Gray behave professionally.

Nisita nodded with satisfaction, "This is the Ronald I know. You do it well here. I have to rush back to Los Angeles to find new sponsors for you."

Joel Gray is an Oscar-winning, Grammy-winning, Tony-winning amphibious star, just one Emmy away from a Grand Slam.

His arrival really put a lot of pressure on Jennifer. On the set, she no longer dared to be petty and give the director and the actors the back of her head. It's just that there's still no eye contact with Patrick Switz.

Joel finished filming the cameo scene and found Ronald to apologize for his daughter.

"I'm sorry. After my divorce from her mother, I spoiled Jennifer by agreeing to everything. She is twenty-six years old, but she is still a child at heart. We all hope that she will find a Jewish boyfriend soon. Get married so she'll mature a bit."

"Uh, okay." Ronald thought, these are all old-fashioned ideas. No wonder Jennifer Gray is a bit similar to the protagonist baby. It seems that her family background also hopes that she will marry a man of the same ethnicity. She and baby feel the same way.

"Jennifer needs some guidance sometimes, and I've already spoken to her about my professional views on acting. Thank you also for handling the script so she doesn't end up playing a Jewish girl dating an Irish descent. Being criticized by the circle.”

"Goodbye, Mr. Gray."

"Goodbye, Director. Emile, can you take me to the airport?" Joel Gray had to rush back to New York.

...

"How did I act? Director?" Screenwriter Eleanor, at her own strong request, finally made a cameo as a guest, dancing in the hall with Patrick Swayze.

At this time, the baby played by Jennifer Gray came to find them, because she found Penny played by Cynthia Rhodes, crying silently in the kitchen.

In the darkness, a beam of light hit the foot of the opposite wall, and a close-up of Cynthia appeared in the viewfinder. Even with tears streaming down her face, she looked very beautiful.

Penny's crying here because she's on good terms with a guy who was in a hotel for a test screening, and also funded him to go to college. But the young man was reluctant to use safety measures, which caused Penny to become pregnant. In the conservative 1961, this was undoubtedly a major scandal.

At the time, Roe v. Wade had not yet been decided in the Supreme Court, so it was illegal.

Penny went to ask her boyfriend for money for surgery, but was ruthlessly rejected by her boyfriend and took the opportunity to break up with her.

As a backup dancer and dance coach, all the money she saved was given to her ex-boyfriend, and Penny had no savings at all. I can't even afford that kind of private doctor. Had to cry secretly in the kitchen.

"cut!" Ronald nodded in satisfaction. That's a good performance, a good actor.

"You did a great job, go wipe it."

Ronald handed over a hot towel.

When Cynthia performed the crying scene, she did not use eye drops, but performed it with a strong imagination based on her true feelings.

"Thank you", Cynthia glanced at Ronald. When she acted just now, she was actually borrowing the mood of when she was harassed by Stallone's younger brother Frank when she was filming Dragon and Phoenix, and Ronald intervened and rescued herself. .

As long as that memory is mobilized, tears will flow immediately.

"Okay, we'll have a holiday and start shooting next Monday." Ronald took six days of filming and finally ushered in the first weekend.

"Don't forget the ban, which will remain in effect over the weekend."

Ronald recalled the ban on contact between men and women, and emphasized it. In fact, if they find a hotel to open a room by themselves, they can't control it, but most actors are still reluctant to open another room in a hotel that charges prices during the peak season.

After cleaning up, Ronald picked up the folding chair with his name on it and went back to the room. In the evening, I will continue to watch the samples, and I will also prepare for next week's shooting and arrangements for transitions.

Also, Helen would come to visit the class during weekends off.

Now I can relax my tense nerves a little.
