Chapter 204 The loss and opportunity of Australian beauty
"Listen, Ronald is a hot director in Hollywood right now, and he is particularly good at making actresses famous. Ronald doesn't usually like parties. This time, he took advantage of his accidental injury to have a party.
This time it was a party thrown for him by some of his close friends. I found some of Australia's biggest actors in Hollywood to get the tickets. You have to seize the opportunity..."
A manager in a suit and leather jacket gave instructions to a tall beauty with an oval face and blond curly hair.
"Oh?" The blonde beauty didn't know how to answer. She was full of daydreams about breaking into Hollywood, but Australians were not familiar with the place here, and it was very difficult to take the first step without anyone's guidance.
Fortunately, the manager was relatively familiar with Hollywood and took her to find Mr. Crocodile Paul Hogan and Rachel Ward's husband Brian Neal, so she got the opportunity to attend Ronald's small gathering.
.
"Please come in..." When they arrived at the mansion of the famous Hollywood actor Michael Douglas, the housekeeper came over to check her invitation, "Invite this way, Miss Kidman..."
In the classical-style mansion, the sun shone in through the shade of the trees, making people feel dizzy. Nicole Kidman only heard bursts of laughter faintly coming from the hall inside. She lifted her skirt and combed her hair.
I combed my floating curls and walked a few steps into the second door.
"If you ask me, you might as well move to the suburbs of Los Angeles. It's very quiet here. There are LAPD patrols outside the house. It's extremely safe."
The owner, Michael Douglas, was discussing Ronald's distress with a large group of people. They all wanted Ronald to move to Hollywood.
"I like Hollywood. I have prepared a house and it is being built. But I will still miss my hometown. Hollywood is great, but living here is a bit crazy..."
Nicole Kidman walked to the periphery of the crowd. The center of attention was a handsome man who was taller than herself. The person she wanted to please during this trip was Ronald Lee.
"Ah...hahaha..." Douglas took the lead in laughing, and everyone laughed too. What Ronald said is something that all Hollywood stars feel. Living here, you will hear who got what role every day, maybe
Hit the Oscars, or sell 150 million yuan.
Over time, everyone becomes neurotically sensitive to competition. Sometimes, the best way to convince a star to star is to tell him that his competitors are also pursuing the role.
Nicole Kidman also tried her best to smile and applauded gently.
At this time, Danny DeVito, a short, bald comedian next to Michael Douglas, saw her and said, "Oh, who is this beautiful lady?"
"My last name is Kidman, call me Nicole..."
"Were you the heroine in that movie with Sam Neill?" Danny DeVito remembered that she was the heroine of the critically acclaimed new film "Dead Silence" and was mentioned in major film reviews.
, no wonder the face looks familiar.
This kind of beauty with perfect face, height and hair color is Hollywood's favorite type. Immediately, the men at the scene began to notice her and began to chat with her.
Kidman knew in her heart that stars including Michael Douglas were already married, and if she wanted the maximum return, she had to keep an eye on single powerful people like Ronald.
But when she was interrupted, she had lost track of Ronald. After looking around for a long time, she found that he was chatting with another beautiful woman.
"Catherine, how are you preparing for your new project? I heard Jim said he was thinking of ways to help you?"
"Yes, it's called Blue Steel. It's a commercial action police film. I don't really want to make it, but Jim said this is the most important step for Hollywood to recognize you..."
"It's true. You see, Jim can now take pictures of what he wants."
Ronald chats with Kathryn Bigelow about her latest career move. Jim Cameron has completely separated from Gale Hurd, save for the last bit of paperwork.
Cameron has completed the principal photography of "The Abyss" and is now focusing on post-production. In his personal life, he is very close to Bigelow, a beautiful director, and is still helping her contact new projects. It seems that the two of them are really close.
of like-mindedness.
"I didn't expect Central Park to be so unsafe. When I was in Colombia, I used to go jogging every day..." Bigelow brushed his hair, exuding a mature and confident style, which made the young Nicole Kidman
I can't help but feel a little ashamed of myself.
"Jim..." Ronald greeted Cameron, who had just brought two glasses of champagne.
"Ronald, is your hand healed? This is really unexpected. I didn't expect that our brothers almost died in the past six months." Cameron came over to take a closer look at Ronald's injury, and then hugged Bigelow's arm.
Waist, and Ronald continued to chat about the production of "Abyss".
"Huh..." Kidman breathed out, it turned out that was Cameron's partner...
"I went to your office yesterday and saw some special effects. It was indeed very lifelike... If I had some traditional special effects pictures and then used computer graphics to correct them, what would the effect be like?"
"It's very difficult, mainly because of the human hand. The waves in the abyss are purely computer rendering, and then they just need to be combined with the normal shots. But what you are talking about must be connected frame by frame, otherwise it will be a disaster.
"Sexual penetration"
According to Cameron, pure traditional special effects and pure computer-generated special effects are relatively simple, but combining the two is a very labor-intensive process.
"How many of your special effects shots are still unfinished? When can we see the finished film?" Ronald admired the clips he saw in the office very much. The waves were simulated by the computer into the shape of a human face, which was very smooth and smooth.
reality.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I am still working on the final rendering shots, which will be completed in about a week. Then you can come and show me..." Cameron took advantage of the opportunity
When computer rendering couldn't be done with anything else, he was helping Bigelow with new projects. I was a little embarrassed to be mentioned by Ronald.
"Are Fox satisfied?" Ronald asked.
"Hey, Goldberg has resigned, and now the new president wants to reduce the total length of my films. I'm arguing with them..." Cameron originally agreed with Goldberg to let him try his best.
Give it your best shot and make a three-hour blockbuster.
But the new president in charge of production definitely has no substantial support for this kind of project led by his predecessor. Taking advantage of the recent sluggish box office, he wants Cameron to reduce the set to about two hours.
.
Although details like this are written in black and white, the studio is, after all, a more powerful party than Cameron. They can come up with countless reasons to make Cameron surrender. In the final analysis of this kind of game, who needs whom more?
The problem.
"Let him come and talk to me...", Ronald was very unhappy with this kind of suppression. In order to suppress the achievements of the former president, he deliberately cut off Cameron's blockbuster in a bad way.
Forget it if it were someone else. This is one of the directors who are second only to Spielberg and Lucas in terms of making special effects movies. The future of Hollywood depends on them to expand and cause trouble for them.
It is actually harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself.
"I will. As for Catherine's new film, it is still an investment from a small production company and is preparing to participate in next year's small film festival..."
"Haha, go talk to Michelle Cannold. We are also looking for projects to participate in the Sundance Film Festival next year." Ronald smiled and said to Bigelow, "You should have come to me earlier,
I thought you already had the investment..."
"Jim said, this is a necessary process..."
Two major things were accomplished in just a few words, which shocked Nicole Kidman who was secretly listening to their conversation. The big things that were difficult for her may be difficult for this director and director who is good at supporting actresses.
For a producer, it's just a piece of cake.
Moreover, he is very tall and handsome...
"Mr. Li, please let me introduce myself..." Seeing that Ronald seemed to be going to socialize with other people, Kidman didn't care that no one introduced herself, and hurriedly stepped forward to seize the opportunity.
"Who are you?" Ronald frowned, he didn't recognize this beauty.
"My name is Nicole...Nicole Kidman"
"Ah, I heard Paul (Hogan) mention you, welcome to Hollywood..." Ronald glanced at him and knew that this woman was born to make a living in movies. Her body proportions and lines are perfect.
Golden-red hair is Hollywood’s favorite type.
She has a few small freckles on her face, a strong nose, a well-pointed chin, and cheekbones that are perfect for close-ups. Photographers will like her.
It just looks like she still has a little baby fat... It seems like Diane was unlovable for a long time after playing "The Naughty Boy". Thinking of Diane... Ronald turned around and started looking...
"Has any of you seen Diane?"
"She seems to be chatting with Michael Douglas's wife over there," Bigelow pointed to the side.
"Excuse me..." Ronald nodded politely, leaving Kidman on the spot, and then walked towards Douglas' wife.
Deandra Luke, Douglas's wife, is chatting with Diane about her husband's situation. Deandra is the daughter of an Australian diplomat. She loves the movie star and stayed in America after her marriage.
Although she is closely related to Australia, she has a bad opinion of Australian female stars. These people rely on their own connections to often ask for help from Michael, but when they meet Michael, they try to seduce him in person.
He is very shameless.
"What are you thinking about now..." Diane wanted to know how Diandra guarded against these actresses who were coming one after another.
"Oh, my poor Diane, you have to let him marry you first, and then it's your turn to worry about this..." Deandra Luke was still an Australian woman after all, and she still spoke very directly.
"Diane, Mrs. Douglas..." Ronald came over, took Diane's hand, and smiled.
"Tick tock, tick tock..." Deandra Luke made a gesture of tapping her watch, reminding Diane to seize the opportunity as soon as possible.
"What, it's time for me to go to the airport?" Ronald raised his wrist and looked at the time. There were still ten minutes left. He lowered his head and kissed Diane, saying he could spend more time with her.
"I have already made an agreement with Paula. Disney is very happy that you are interested in participating in the show. They will prepare a fitting for you. I called Mr. Giorgio Armani. He is very interested in your reappearance as a leading heroine.
I'm so happy that I agreed to sponsor this movie and customize some nice-looking clothes for you..."
"Hehe..." Diane was very happy, she still had some weight in Ronald's mind, and took the initiative to send him a sweet kiss.
"Um, um..." The two kissed passionately, and then separated. Their eyes were full of love.
"Uh...", Nicole Kidman followed over without giving up, and happened to see this scene.
"The intelligence is wrong, damn it... they didn't say that Ronald has a regular female companion..." Kidman was unwilling to fail, rearranged the collar of her shirt, confidently found the best angle, and got on again
Talk to Ronald before.
"Ronald..."
"Hi...Tom..." Ronald saw Tom Cruise who had just walked in and stepped forward to hug him.
"Shxt!" Nicole Kidman yelled in her heart, why did someone just come to disrupt the situation?
"I wrote a summary using the method you taught me. Can you help me read it?" Cruise took out a few pieces of paper from his coat pocket and handed them to Ronald.
"So fast? Hmm..." Ronald read the story in the script at a glance.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Not bad, pretty good..." Ronald glanced at Tom Cruise, why did he suddenly become enlightened?
This story is actually the most suitable for Tom Cruise to film. It tells the story of a Nascar racing driver, Cole Trickle. He knows nothing about the mechanics of racing cars and only has a good instinct for driving.
With the help of mechanic and boss Harry Hogg, Cole, who had experienced failure, rose again. With the help of beautiful neurosurgeon Lyle, he finally returned to the game and won the Indy 500 Grand Prix.
When Ronald saw this part of the plot, he looked up at Cruise and laughed.
"Isn't this...well, your best storyline? It seems like you have quite a talent for screenwriting..."
"Hehe... everyone knows that this is the racing version of Top Gun, so I'm the first to show it to you. I wonder if it will work like this?" Cruise also knew that his debut film was completely imitating Cruise.
"Top Gun" directed by Nader.
Just changed the fighter jet into a Nascar racing car, changed the beautiful instructor into a beautiful doctor, and changed the flight school teacher into the old mechanic of the racing team. The other rhythms and story twists are the same.
"I'm very happy with your writing style..." Ronald felt that Tom Cruise finally understood that stars like him were born to make movies that excite female audiences and secretly delight male audiences. What Oscar?
That's something for other people to pursue.
"Yes, Paula is helping me start with simple commercial film logic. This will give me a better understanding of acting in the future. I will be able to find a film that can really get me nominated..."
"Hi..." Ronald shook his head, his praise was in vain. This guy was still thinking about Oscar.
"It's a very good script. I think it's okay. Just tell Paula what I mean..." Ronald guessed that Cruise came to him to get insurance. Since there was no big problem, he just went to a professional.
The screenwriter will fill in the other details.
"I have to go, Tom, the plane is waiting for me..." Ronald looked at his watch again.
"Everything goes well..." Tom Cruise hugged Ronald again and sent him and Diane out.
"snort……"
Nicole Kidman was so angry, why do these men like to pester Ronald so much?
"Find more people to fill in the details. Some parts of airplanes are different from racing cars. Dramatic conflicts must be arranged according to the characteristics of the project..." A few minutes later, Tom Cruise returned to the hall and took out the tape recorder to record what Ronald said to him.
Views.
He took out the outline of his script again, trying to better understand what Ronald meant.
The letters on the white paper suddenly crawled like ants. He could see a few letters, but after the words entered his brain, it was like a computer crash. Cruise tried to keep his eyes open, but he could not understand the meaning of the words and sentences.
, only the solitary letters seemed to be dancing there.
"Are you okay?" Nicole Kidman saw Cruise trying to open his eyes, beads of sweat dripping from his hair, and couldn't help thinking that this Hollywood star wouldn't be like those people in Australia.
Same, drug abuse, right?
"Can you tell me what's written here? The light here is too strong, I can't see clearly..." Cruise panicked. He hadn't had such a dyslexia attack in a long time.
Mimi (Rogers) was demanding every day, and the two were on the verge of breaking up. Cruise's alexia, which had improved, began to worsen again because Mimi took care of him like a big sister.
"This section is about the male protagonist being teased and treating a real neurologist as a stripper invited by the team to prank..." Nicole Kidman was very patient with the handsome guy and slowly explained to him with a smile.
"Oh, thank you, I always feel about the dazzling light..." Tom Cruise suddenly felt a little dry. The actress was as gentle as Mimi Rogers when she first met him, and she
