Richard Gere thought about it for a few days, but he still contacted Ronald through his agent and declined the invitation.
The reason given by the agent was of course very nice. Richard Gere did not have enough confidence in this role. He wanted to break through by playing other types of roles, and did not want to repeat the roles he had already played, etc.
But the actual reason was figured out by Ronald through private communication with Richard Gere's agent. Because Richard Gere didn't want to be a foil for the heroine. In Ronald's "Working Girl", Harrison
·Ford once made a male vase.
After the movie was released, all the female characters were nominated for Oscars, even the supporting role of Joan Cusack, who played the secretary. Only Harrison Ford received nothing, only a group of female fans who were interested in his physical strength.
of admiration.
This incident should serve as a warning to all male stars in Hollywood. If you want to make gains in acting and critical approval, then you should avoid movies with female central characters led by Ronald.
Ronald didn't expect that his successful movie would have such a counter-effect. He went to Daydream to have a meeting with Garry Marshall. The two discussed it for a long time but came up with no good solution.
Richard Gere was indeed the one who had the most chemistry when auditioning with Julia Roberts. When they appeared in front of the camera together, all the audience could see from their mutual body movements and expressions.
, feeling the passion surging out of their hearts.
This feeling is not a pure desire for the other person's body, but a subtle emotion arising from mutual understanding. From the close-ups of the two people, Ronald and the director Marshall can see that both parties are attracted to each other.
There is something to look forward to, a desire to have a passionate love relationship, but it has not started yet.
With no other choice, Ronald Garry Marshall had no choice but to recall Julia Roberts.
"Sorry, Julia, we have to go on with the auditions..."
As soon as Roberts entered the office, Ronald stood up and told her the bad news.
"I don't understand, wasn't my audition with him perfect?" Julia Roberts was a little anxious. She bounced up as soon as she sat down and walked around the room.
"Please sit down first and then talk..." Garry Marshall was a little dizzy by the actress and asked her to sit down.
"Daxmn it, I want to call him, this is not possible..."
Julia Roberts once again spoke out explosively, picking up the phone and calling Richard Gere's agent.
His strength of action and determination even shocked Ronald.
"Hello, I'm Roberts. Please ask Richard to call me back. I'll keep calling you without waiting for his call."
Julia Roberts is so emotionally unstable that even her Southern accent shows through.
Ronald and Garry Marshall looked at each other. If Julia Roberts could use her own charm to get Richard Gere, that would be a very good thing for the movie.
Sure enough, less than two hours later, Richard Gere, accompanied by his agent, appeared in the film's preparation office.
"I want to try some new roles. In the past few years, the movies I have made are all male protagonists who are popular with women..."
Richard Gere is actually a bit stupid. He is not very good at making lies. He really wants to refuse this role, but he is embarrassed to say it. Such emotions make his face look shy.
"This movie about Richard, actually..." Garry Marshall began to give various reasons to Richard Gere, trying to convince him that in fact, this role was not exactly the same as the roles he had played before.
The simplest point is that Edward Lewis is not the kind of man who is very popular among women. On the contrary, he has a barrier on how to deal with beautiful women and how to maintain an intimate relationship with them. This is different from when he was a child.
My father left home deeply.
"I know, I understand. I actually read the script several times. I like it quite a lot, but my agent told me that my career has reached a point where I need to change..." Richard Gere couldn't help it.
The reason I mentioned was actually because I was afraid of playing a big vase again.
Garry Marshall didn't quite understand what he was thinking, and was still telling him about character analysis and trying to convince him from the perspective of his acting career.
"Richard, have you ever thought that the role of Lewis can give you a new upgrade to your star image?"
Ronald's mind changed and he thought of a new angle...
Richard Gere is 40 years old this year, and the roles he has played in the past ten years have often been images of sexy and handsome men who are full of hormones but have poor brains. These include military officers, gigolos, and band musicians.
Or a ruffian...etc.
"For example, the musician you and Diane played in the Cotton Club was actually particularly popular with female audiences at that time. But today, audiences prefer men who are mature, intelligent, handsome, and slightly introverted."
"Um?"
Richard Gere raised his head and looked at his agent. Ronald's words spoke exactly what was on his mind.
At his age, it is obviously no longer suitable for him to play those sexy men who have nothing but passion.
Ronald proposed that Edward Lewis was a Wall Street banker with superhuman wealth and control over his life. At this age, female audiences tend to like such characters if they are a little bit in some aspect of life.
Stay, that would be the best.
Thinking of this, Richard Kildon was about to agree. But his agent gave him a gesture, reminding him that if he really wanted to make a breakthrough in acting awards and critics, he had to go
Act in movies that are really centered around male characters.
"Actually, you almost convinced me, Ronald, but..." The desire for awards and critical recognition overwhelm a star's plans for his future career. At this moment, in Richard Gere's mind
Here, it occupies the most important part.
"Richard, I actually gave you a good opportunity..." Ronald didn't have much patience with this male star who overestimated his abilities and still wanted to win an award...
It is obvious that Richard Gere has no acting skills, but he has a very good-looking face. If we give him more close-ups on the screen, the audience will naturally love to watch the movies he stars in.
For a person whose status as a star is greater than that of an actor, the most important thing is to create a character that the audience can deeply understand and remember, rather than pursuing critical recognition without overestimating one's capabilities.
It is actually not difficult for such a handsome male star to gain recognition from critics. As long as he is willing to disfigure his face and play an ugly monster, the critics will recognize him.
Richard Gere still wanted to shirk, and his heart was also shaking with each other, which one was more important on both sides of the scale. For him, he couldn't make a good choice.
"Tear..." Julia Roberts next to her could no longer stand Richard Gere. She tore off a note, quickly wrote a line of words on it with a pen, and stuffed it into Richard Gere's hand...
"Please say Yes..."
Richard Gere raised his hand and saw that there were only three words on the note, asking him to agree to play this role.
When he raised his head, he was faced with Julia Roberts's beautiful eyes that sparkled with eagerness, her small and straight nose, and her sexy big mouth.
Julia Roberts just looked at him and pulled her hair around her ears with her hands. This fair-skinned beauty looked so fragile, so innocent, so full of innocence...like a bird made in China.
The exquisite thin white porcelain needs careful care.
"OK, I agree."
A male hormone-dominated emotion filled Richard Gere's mind and heart. I don't know why, but the rational thinking that the two big directors told him before, and the motivation of competing for awards that his agent instilled in him
All his plans were forgotten at this moment.
Now, there is only one idea in his mind, and that is to collaborate in this movie with Julia Roberts.
"Hey...", the manager shook his head and sighed. The star had told him so much last night about his thoughts about his acting career, and he didn't know where he had gone now. He had known this for a long time. Actors are generally emotional, and he
The customers are particularly emotional.
"Bye, I hope to see you in rehearsal soon..." Julia Roberts was very happy and went up to hug Richard Gere and gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"You too..." Richard Gere hugged Roberts happily. She was so light at just 22 years old.
"Keep this feeling, do your best not to let these two go on a date...or...you know" Ronald covered his mouth and whispered in the ear of director Garry Marshall.
Garry Marshall also understood very well that this very special feeling can only be expressed in men and women who are about to enter a relationship. In the first half of the film, these two people maintained such a strange feeling in their hearts.
Relationship.
So until halfway through filming, the two of them might as well just be craving love.
"I can't stop this. Very few people can resist such two love bombs..." Garry Marshall also replied in Ronald's ear, saying that he couldn't control this kind of thing.
"Don't worry, you just need to follow the rules at the rehearsal venue and the official shooting. After starting, I think Julia Roberts is a very smart person, and she will make full use of this condition to achieve what she wants."
…
As usual, after finishing the day's affairs, Ronald returned to the hotel early and stayed with Diane.
Whenever this happens, Ronald is always glad that he is married and no longer has to go through the love process of mutual testing and torture. He also doesn’t have to worry about guessing whether his proposal will be accepted by the other party? Or whether the other party will accept it.
What do you value in being with me?
Dane was in the living room, flipping through a lot of scripts. She was half lying on the sofa, one foot resting on the armrest of the sofa, and she kept rising and falling.
On one side of the sofa, there were a lot of scripts spread out on the floor, which Diane didn't like. On the other side of the sofa, there were three or four scripts that she found interesting.
"Do you have any favorite scripts?" Ronald did not forget what he promised Diane. He contacted 20th Century Fox, Disney, and Paramount and asked them to send various scripts in stock.
For Ronald and Diane to choose from.
"Hmm, there are quite a few here, and I find them all very interesting..."
Dane handed the selected scripts from the stacked books to Leonard.
"Is this a ghost story?"
Ronald saw a script with a big word "Ghost" written on its cover. This was a script in Paramount's inventory.
"Yes, it's a story about a man who died but was still by his wife's side. In the end, he could only communicate with his wife through a psychic and protect her from bad guys."
"OK, do you like it?" Ronald knew that Hollywood never liked making ghost movies, but it was fine if Diane liked it.
"Actually, I don't really like making ghost movies. I think it's weird. I like these two books better."
"Let me see……"
Ronald opened the two scripts. The first one told a future science fiction story. The name was Total Recall. When it tells the story of the future, people don't know whether their memories are implanted or their own.
Experienced personally.
The male protagonist finally ran away from everything to pursue a trip to Mars that often appeared in his dreams, and finally achieved great success.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This script has been sleeping in Columbia's film library for a long time and was only recently dug out. It was taken over by Carlock, a medium-sized studio.
They chose Schwarzenegger to play the heroine, and Diane had worked with Schwarzenegger before in another movie Running Man, and the two had a good relationship. If they can work together this time, it would be a good idea.
s Choice.
However, this movie is already in the preparation stage, and they may already have a candidate for the heroine. If Diane wants to intervene, Ronald will have to use some connections to intervene and adjust the filming cycle of the movie.
The last one was a movie called "Firebird". After Ronald opened it, he frowned after watching it for a while.
"This seems to be..." Ronald turned to ask Diane.
"That's right, it's the Army version of Top Gun... Hehehe..." Diane actually envied big productions like Top Gun, and Ronald shot the heroine McGillis so well.
She is sexy and can act with a handsome guy like Tom Cruise, which she is actually envious of.
The structure of this Firebird is actually a replica of Top Gun from beginning to end, except that the F-14 fighter jets are replaced by Apache attack helicopters, the Navy is replaced by the Army, and the enemy is replaced by Soviet Alliance fighter jets in the Pacific.
, replaced by a helicopter belonging to a drug lord in Central America.
Moreover, the background design of this movie actually coincides with another popular TV series Airwolf. A prototype of a very advanced armed helicopter of the American Army was driven away by a person who was dissatisfied with the government.
.
There is something even more radical in this movie than Top Gun, and that is that the character Diane is meant for is not only an instructor in the classroom, but also an armed helicopter pilot who goes on combat missions with the hero.
This script is Disney's inventory again.
"Okay, keep watching. If you like anything, tell me." Ronald shook his head, and Dane was hinting that he still wanted to star in a movie directed by Ronald.
"Ring ring ring ring..."
While the two were still discussing, the phone rang.
"Hello, this is Ronald and Diane's home..." The answering machine played the phone message that Diane had recorded... It took her a long time to record it.
"Ronald, answer the phone, this is Cindy, don't forget what you promised me..."
A sexy and magnetic female voice rang on the answering machine.
Ronald recognized Cindy Crawford's voice and quickly pressed the hands-free button. What he said was a bit unclear, so don't cause Diane to misunderstand, "Miss Crawford, this is Ronald
.What’s wrong, what happened?”
"Ronald, I remember that I approached you through your agent, and you promised me. Now Richard told me that he has agreed to act in a romance film with Julia, that Bi...actress.
I want you to fulfill your promise."
"No problem, you can come to visit the crew at any time, and all expenses incurred will be charged to the crew's account..."
"What's wrong? Isn't this the model? Why is she going to visit the class?" Diane stared at Ronald with her eyes and said with a smile.
"I told you it doesn't matter. You must never tell others. Cindy Clough is Richard Gere's girlfriend, a very formal one. She approached me through her agent last time and asked if Richard Gere accepted
If you are invited to star in that movie, you must have the right to visit at any time."
"Poor Richard..." He wanted to say something, but he curled his lips again. If she hadn't been pregnant, she would have been the model who came to the set to keep an eye on her this time.
