"Thank you, Ms. Sophia Brown, for your generosity in sharing."

Opposite Ronald sat a white, middle-aged woman who was recruited by Paramount executive Lindsay Dolan. She happened to be a very popular psychic (also called a medium) in Hollywood and America recently.

This woman has been very successful recently. She has appeared on several Larry King talk shows, and many actresses in Hollywood have asked her for "consultation" on which movies they should choose.

But Ronald didn't believe this at all. Ms. Brown claimed that she could see heaven, six inches above people's heads. Because of the different vibration frequencies, it was difficult for humans to find it. The temperature there was constant at 25.6 degrees Celsius.

So much.

This kind of person, like Joan Quigley, the astrologer trusted by the former first lady, relies on the flaws in the knowledge structure of these celebrities, talks nonsense, and takes advantage of the celebrities' fear of losing their existing social status.

Earn money and social fame.

In addition to her, Ronald also auditioned a psychic from Australia, Penny Pierce. This one was more advanced and simply did not mention that she was a psychic, but packaged the same "service" into a

Modern "pseudoscience".

She calls herself a researcher of "intuitive visualization science" and provides consultation and guidance for several Australian stars who are working hard in Hollywood.

"How about it, do you think they can do it?" Lindsay Dolan also half believed in these mediums. If Ronald didn't like them, she could recommend more.

"Forget it, they all have a serious problem, that is, once they are in front of the camera, they will show the common nervousness of amateur actors."

Ronald shook his head and picked up the book in his hand by Dorothy Stokes, the biggest psychic in Hollywood who had just passed away the year before last.

This book reveals very clearly that so-called psychic abilities are, in most cases, achieved through prior investigation of the subject's background and interviews with their relatives and friends, in order to obtain a large amount of information about the subject's personal life and gain trust.

It is a relatively advanced skill in psychology, called cold reading. This method is similar to Sherlock Holmes's observation ability, but it is not as magical. It can also use some verbal manipulation to make the other party speak for themselves.

his personal situation.

"I have understood the commonality of these people. They all have a magical ability to pretend to be confident. By first deceiving themselves, believing that they have psychic abilities, and then deceiving others. So once their deception fails, they themselves

It will cause great confusion.

The background of this character can create a good comedy structure in the movie...and...you know, we need a black actress." Ronald felt that there were too many white actors in this movie, and there were too many ethnic minorities.

Some of the quotas are not enough.

"I understand, a black actress...comedy ability..." Lindsay Dolan nodded in agreement, but she still remained silent and refused to leave.

"Patrick will come over later. Is there anything else you need to discuss with him?" Ronald understood that the female executive was a nymphomaniac again and wanted to discuss the art of acting with his idol Schwytz.

"Oh, Ronald, look what you said." Lindsay Dolan was actually a little shy, "You finish talking to him about the business first, I still have some contract matters to discuss with him..."

Just in time, Patrick Schwytz walked in, saw a shy Lindsay Dolan, glanced at him a few times, and ran out, not knowing what happened.

"We are discussing the casting of the psychic..." Ronald smiled and talked about the cause and effect, "We need a black actress with comedy talent, preferably with some characteristics..."

"Did you know? There is someone here that I would like to recommend to you...named Whoopi Goldberg..."

"Her?" Ronald frowned. It was not that he didn't know this actor, but he excluded her from the audition list from the beginning.

Like Oprah Winfrey, she also played a female character in the film "The Color Purple" directed by Spielberg.

But Ronald's agent, Niceta, warned that the actor had a serious drug addiction problem. Her first husband was a drug addiction therapist. But in the early 1980s, she

Divorced this husband.

After that, she was often found to have problems with this matter intermittently, and her originally promising acting career was interrupted because of this.

"She's really good at acting, you know? Whoopi was an acting coach for a lot of actors. He did an amazing show on Broadway in 1985. And at that time she was hosting a stand-up comedy with a Broadway play review theme.

, The Whoopi Goldberg Show also received a broadcast contract from HBO."

"It seems you like her very much?" Ronald could hear Schwytz's strong recommendation for the actress.

"Without her, I wouldn't have had the chance to play the lead role in Grease on Broadway, nor would I have had the chance to come to Hollywood."

To a certain extent, this black comedian is a nobleman of Patrick Thwaites. His promotion of him directly led to him being spotted by the musical Grease to star in the movie version of John Travolta.

Role.

"I'm still worried about her drug problem." Ronald heard the news and said that this person often got high on the set and didn't know what scene he was going to play. Whoopi Goldberg's ability to improvise is very powerful

, it was probably due to drug abuse that she couldn't remember her lines at all.

"I can give her a personal guarantee that she will stay sober while filming this movie."

"Oh? What do you think of her...Okay, I believe you, but I still have to ask her to come for an audition, and Paramount's top management also needs to be convinced." When Ronald heard what Parkrick said, he put his personal credibility aside.

Everyone came forward to guarantee him, and it seemed that this time he would definitely find someone to keep an eye on Whoopi Goldberg, and also support the former Bole.

"No problem, I will let her go to the rehabilitation center now, and I will bear all the expenses..."

Drugs were rampant in Hollywood in the 1980s. High-end recuperation centers like this had a very good way of dealing with these actors and keeping them clean in the short term.

"OK!" Patrick Schweitz was very happy, "You won't be disappointed, Ronald! I also value this script very much. When will you arrange for me to learn pottery?"

"Pottery? You don't know how to learn it, and I also prohibit you from touching any pottery before filming." Ronald thought to himself, wondering where Schwytz knew that he was going to arrange pottery lessons for Demi Moore. He

I thought he was going to attend, so he came here to express his efforts on this matter.

"What? If you don't let me learn, how can I act? I read that one of the highlights in the script is pottery..." Patrick Schwytz wanted to create a classic role under Ronald again, but he was not allowed to do this kind of thing.

Make enough preparations and start yelling.

"Do you remember Jennifer Gray from Dirty Dancing, who I banned from any dance training?"

"Huh?" Sweets thought for a while and realized that this was indeed the case. This also directly caused Jennifer Gray's dancing foundation to be very poor during the filming. When he taught her to dance, the other party couldn't learn it, which made it difficult to film.

A lot of friction…

"You need to stay hungry for pottery, and that scene where Molly leads Sam to do something he's not good at...all the love and conflict needs to be shown in that scene.

So the fact that you don’t know how to do pottery is as important as Demi Moore’s need to become an expert in pottery before filming begins. Before filming, I prohibit you from attending any pottery training classes or accessing any pottery information...

"OK, OK..." When Patrick Schwyz heard that he didn't learn pottery, it was so critical. The successful experience of Dirty Dancing made him believe in Ronald unconditionally, and he immediately agreed.

Ronald and Lindsay Dolan chatted for a while about the protection measures for Whoopi Goldberg. If her audition is satisfactory, the contract must specify in detail that if she delays filming due to drug problems, she must pay a proportional

Deduct money at the agreed ratio.

After several times in a row, the studio reserves the right to replace people and claim compensation for the economic losses caused to her. In this way, all her loopholes are plugged, which is also a kind of protection for the actors and the project.

Lindsay Dolan wrote down Ronald's request in her notebook. Paramount's legal affairs were very familiar with this kind of thing. She also had to seize the time to talk to Schwytz more. This time her secretary also brought a video recorder.

Come……

"Notify me immediately when Demi comes..." Ronald told his assistant, Fat Girl Lake, and then went to call Diane to make an appointment for a place to eat that night.

"Ronald, have you found your trainer?" Demi Moore rushed into the office in a hurry and shouted to Ronald who was still on the phone.

"I'll accompany Demi to meet the ceramics teacher, and I'll talk to you tonight..."

Ronald hung up the phone and looked at Demi Moore. Today she was wearing a very tacky black sequined trousers, a white large shirt on her upper body, and two large earrings on her ears. This popular style is very popular.

Years ago...

Ronald muttered to himself, when he took photos of Demi, she was dressed like this. Was this intentional?

"I have found a very good sculptor to be your ceramics coach. She is also an actor. She knows how to let you master ceramics from a performance perspective, so that experts can't see the flaws, and the lay audience will find it very interesting at first glance.

major……"

"I can't wait..." Demi Moore is very enterprising and is treated as a housewife by her husband Bruce Willis at home. Her passion is waiting to be played in this movie directed by Ronald...

She came up, took Ronald's arm, and got into his car.

The car quickly drove to a house at the foot of Beverly Hills. Ronald rang the doorbell, but no one responded. He shouted, "Dai! Dai..."

The faint noise of the grinder coming from inside suddenly disappeared, and the hostess came out and opened the door, "Ha, Ronald, long time no see."

The ceramics teacher Ronald found for Demi Moore was Dai Yang, the second female lead in the debut film "Rock of Ages" where he served as an assistant.

Dai Yang's current main job is as a sculptor, and she only occasionally plays supporting roles in some film and television dramas. In the past few years, she helped Ronald make several films for Kim Cattrall, the heroine of the movie "Beauty".

Wooden dolls were used as props.

This time Ronald came to ask for help, and Dai Yang readily agreed. However, her old friend now wanted to film a new romantic comedy. She made a request, hoping to have a supporting actress in the movie, even if it was an extra.

That’s ok too.

Ronald knew that any actress wanted to become famous, and people like Dai Yang must have some ideas. If she acted in a movie again, she would definitely hope to appear in a big production to announce her return to Hollywood.

So Ronald agreed to give her a role in The Office, with several scenes opposite Schwytz, who played the male lead.

In this way, Dai Yang was very motivated. She made two pottery turntables and motioned for Demi Moore to come forward.

"You come too, Ronald..." Demi Moore put on a large apron and rolled up the sleeves of her white shirt. Looking from the side and behind, Ronald had the illusion that she was wearing it.

It looks like an apron.

"Ah...ah? Why should I come too?"

"You also have to learn pottery, otherwise how will you know how to make me look sexy?" Demi Moore gave her a wink, and then asked Dai Yang to teach him how to make pottery.

"It's very simple. Here is clay. Add water here and adjust the dryness and humidity. You just need to put the clay on the turntable, press this button, and use your hands to make the shape you want..."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Dai Yang picked out a pot of clay for Demi Moore and turned on the power switch.

"Squeak..." Driven by the power supply, the turntable started to rotate. Demi Moore put her hands on both sides of the clay and slowly held it, hoping to make a bowl.

Who knew that it was difficult to control the strength to shape the clay. She used too much force and the bowl suddenly became thinner and thinner, turning into a vertical clay stick, rather like a long-necked vase.
