"The female friend of the actor (Richard Gere) has the right to visit at any time. The crew must be responsible for her food, accommodation and schedule, and enjoy the same level of treatment as the actor (Richard Gere)..."
Richard Gere read all the details of the agreement, and the last one made him hesitate for half a second, but under the expectant eyes of Julia Roberts, he signed his name on the contract agreeing to star.
In addition to Cindy Crawford's right to visit at any time, he also enjoys the top privileges that an actor can enjoy.
On the set, his trailer has more space than all other actors, including Julia Roberts, can accommodate a wider bed, and the interior decoration is more luxurious.
He also has a full-time chef who prepares food for him every day, and the crew is also responsible for this part of the expenses.
A team of costume designers, hairstylists and makeup artists who serve him individually are all very expensive professionals he has worked with for a long time. Of course, the cost of this part is also paid by the crew.
Finally, of course, a full-time driver and bodyguard are indispensable. It is essential when he is starring in a movie to isolate fans from all walks of life who come to visit him.
After the male and female protagonists were confirmed, Disney held a small celebration ceremony specifically for this crew.
"Well done, Ronald." Jeffrey Katzenberg, the head of Disney's production, gave Ronald a thumbs up and raised a champagne glass in greeting.
Disney can't see big stars in its live-action movies, so it can only focus on such medium-produced movies. It was an unexpected surprise for them to find Richard Gere to star.
"We need additional investment..." Ronald made the most critical request. Not only was Richard Gere's salary very expensive, but all his various benefits had to be paid for by the crew.
Do the math, convert these benefits into money, and add them up with his salary, you can almost catch up with the market price of a first-line male star of US$5 million.
"Of course we will invest more, do you want to invest a little more?" Katzenberg is very satisfied with being able to invite Richard Gere to star in a Disney movie. But after all, the script is an R-rated film, and the box office base is not as good as
PG-13. But he would undoubtedly be happy if he could share some of the risks.
"No problem, I will also increase some shares here." Ronald thought of the fund tailor-made for George Jr., and he could also absorb some of the investments brought in by Bannon, together with the screen controlled by Disney President Eisner.
Together with the fund, we invested in the production of this film.
But in this way, the investment in this movie will become extremely complicated. There are a dozen investors at three levels, who will be divided into three batches based on the distance of their relationships and first-come, first-served basis to enjoy a share of the box office after the movie is released.
The first level is the daydreams of Disney and Ronald, who are the main producers leading this project. The second level is the Hollywood insiders, plus they have a lot of other money, and they have been operating in Hollywood for a long time.
Being classified into this level, it is not easy to exploit them too harshly.
The third level is those investment funds that have made some isolation arrangements with the project. Their movies are very popular, but at most they only use some of the leftovers from the last few rounds of sharing as tickets to enter the Hollywood game.
"So the name of your movie is still called 3000?" Katzenberg asked. This kind of movie naming is usually seen in the creative works of some directors. If it is a commercial film, it is best to change it to a name that can be understood by the audience.
What kind of movie title is the content?
"This matter also has something to do with budget. If you can allocate extra funds to purchase the copyright of a song..." Ronald laughed.
Bannon's participation gave him some inspiration. Back then, Bannon directly used the title of the song "Love Is Not For Sale" by the Beatles as the title of the movie. And around this title, he wrote
The script was indeed a hit.
Nowadays, the chemistry between Julia Roberts and Richard Gere is so good that the scenes and dialogues in the entire movie have to be redesigned based on their chemistry.
Ronald discussed with music director Jimmy and soon found a famous pop song, the 1964 swing song "Oh, Pretty Woman". This song was popular again in the 1980s.
The rock band Van Halen covered it. It is a very popular song.
It is very appropriate to use this song as the title of the movie, because the lyrics include sentences such as "Beautiful women, walking on the road, beautiful women, I like..." and in the plot, Vivian's
The identity of the street girl and her encounter with Lewis fit perfectly.
"Haha, no problem..." Katzenberg was extremely satisfied with this proposal. Indeed, this name is better than the so-called 3000. I don't know where it went. And it is an old song from 1964. Buy the copyright to it.
It doesn't cost much.
"Mr. Li, I'm glad to have the opportunity to interview you. What are your expectations for this new film?"
Disney’s celebration also invited some familiar media to report on the film project. In addition to the "Hollywood Reporter" published in Los Angeles, they will be contacted for interviews and reports on the preparation and project of each new film. Ronald
The familiar "New York Daily News" also sent reporters from their entertainment section.
"I am only one of the producers of this film. For such artistic questions, you should ask our director Mr. Garry Marshall and the two protagonists." Ronald saw that this newbie reporter was not particularly skilled in his business.
, and quickly directed her to go for an interview.
"Sorry, Director Li, I just really like your interpretation of women's films..." The female reporter stuck out her tongue. It seems that the reputation of Ronald's feminist films has spread widely both inside and outside the industry.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lollard shook his head, she is not actually making movies about women, she is just giving women more and more appropriate roles in the movies than usual.
, and some movies only use female protagonists as narratives.
However, this did create a new genre in Hollywood, and he and Jim Cameron are the representatives of this genre. In their films, women's stories always occupy a main line of narrative, which is in line with Hollywood tradition.
The script structure is quite different in that male stars dominate and women are just foils.
And the two of them have one thing in common, that is, female roles are not limited to young and beautiful women. They often have the opportunity to portray professional women over 30 years old. This is obviously more attractive to famous female stars in Hollywood than ordinary women.
The director is great.
"Richard, what are your expectations for working with Julia?" The newcomer entertainment reporter went to interview the leading actor again.
"Julia is great, and I'm really looking forward to working with her in this movie. In fact, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't necessarily have accepted the offer for this movie..."
When Richard Gere said this, he changed his usual acting style and was leaning towards the reserved, reserved and low-key handsome style of a banker.
For a star like him who is very photogenic, acting is nothing more than playing a handsome banker, a handsome worker, and various handsome roles...
Originally speaking good things about other characters at the preparatory meeting is not only a common practice for celebrities, but also an obligation. Their salary is so high, and a large part of it is to pay for their attractiveness and attract more people from the media.
Many fans came to watch the movie.
But today, when he praised Julia Roberts, he angered another beautiful woman present.
"Ahem..." His real girlfriend Cindy Crawford came forward and took Richard Gere's arm. With her wonderful eyes, she stared at the reporter to see what kind of questions she could ask.
.
This female declaration of territory surprised the reporter. She hurriedly ended her interview with Richard Gere and went to interview other actors.
When Richard Gere saw this, he became very impatient and waved his hands... The clause about visiting the team at any time was obviously deliberately added by Cindy Crawford.
Cindy Crawford was not someone to be trifled with. When she saw this, she threw her hand away and ran over to Ronald on her high heels.
"Ronald, Richard won't let me read his script. You have to tell me how many intimate scenes there are in this movie?"
"Ahem, Cindy, you don't need to be like this..." Ronald had never seen this kind of scene. In order to monitor her husband, Harrison Ford's wife only came to the site to visit the class every day. Ronald took them
Just a couple going to have a meal.
"Don't be like this, then what do you want from me? What is the entertainment industry like? It's not like I haven't seen it before. It's even better than our fashion industry..."
The mole on Cindy's lips is still so fascinating, and her wavy hair is just in line with Ronald's aesthetics. When she said this, she shook her head and raised the ends of her hair, which made Ronald feel a little itchy.
.He quickly touched the wedding ring on the ring finger of his left hand with his fingers.
"I agreed to all your requests, Cindy. You can come and visit us anytime you want. I only have one request, don't interfere with the filming.
You know a lot of times, this type of movie relies heavily on the chemistry of the hero and heroine. But that's not true, they just look like that on camera and then go back to their trailers when the filming is done.
, he is your very good boyfriend... A good actor can distinguish between performance and life very clearly..."
"I've never made a movie, I don't know. Ronald, I believe you, can you guarantee that what you say is true?" Cindy Crawford put her hands on her waist and pushed her hips forward.
The sexiness of an American-style big girl shines through from the core.
"E on Cindy, have some confidence in yourself, no one can resist your charm..."
"Huh, why don't you..." Cindy was quite satisfied with Ronald's compliment. She also felt that as long as she often visited the class and appeared in front of her boyfriend Richard Gere, no one could take him away.
"Kristy (Turlington) still lives in our original apartment in New York. She sometimes calls me and talks about you. She misses you..."
"If Christy needs help, tell her to call my agent..."
"Hey, why are you so heartless?" Cindy Crawford patted Ronald's arm.
"Ahem", Ronald raised his left hand and signaled that he had already put on his wedding ring. He looked at Richard Gere over there, who was still accepting several media interviews with Julia Roberts.
During the interview, I didn't notice what happened here.
Fortunately, Cindy Crawford's attention immediately shifted to her very dangerous boyfriend.
"It's really terrible..." Ronald looked at the back of Crawford, who was twisting towards his boyfriend, and shouted in his heart. The toned figure and elegant temperament of the T-stage model made him feel... plus
Cindy Crawford walked the traditional cat walk, which required a lot of strength in the waist and hips. Looking from behind... Ronald quickly took a sip of champagne, then touched the wedding ring on his hand and made a decision.
Calm down.
…
Now coming home on time every day is not only Ronald's duty as a husband, but also a way for him to escape his dangerous thoughts.
"I feel like now we are like a couple in a traditional Hollywood movie. You come home from get off work on time every day, and I prepare food for you."
"Well, what kind of dishes did you instruct Wang Ma to cook today?" As long as Diane didn't do it herself, Ronald thought it wouldn't be a big problem.
"Just some common things, nothing special?" Diane smiled and asked the maid to serve the dishes. Sometimes she would cook a dish herself, and then ask Ronald to guess which dish she cooked.
mini-games.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Well, I can't guess, I think all the dishes today are equally delicious." Ronald was surprised to find that his sensitive food today
My sense of taste is a bit off.
"And some baked cookies..." Dane smiled and served the dessert after the meal.
"Hmm..." Ronald took a bite. This was obviously Aunt Karen's recipe, but there seemed to be something wrong with the butter and eggs being mixed.
"What's wrong?" Dane took a bite and found that his roast was not delicious, so he laughed.
"The people from Paramount called you today and asked if you like their scripts?" Dane waved to the maid to remove the cookies, took out the treasure sent by Aunt Karen. Then he said to Luo
Nader talked about some of the calls he received today.
"Do you like that ghost movie?"
"I don't really want to..." Dane has worked with the veteran Hollywood star Oliver Lawrence since she was a child. She knows that this is a taboo that male stars implicitly accept and no one talks about. It is difficult to find a famous star.
A star comes to play a ghost...
"Then I'll go push it in two days..."
After eating, the two of them sat on the sofa and watched TV.
As NBC is currently the TV station with the highest ratings, their TV series tend to be the first to become popular. As the base of the left-wing ideology of the Donkey Party, ABC often plagiarizes the themes of NBC's TV series and then creates a left-wing version.
Just like growing pains is to family ties, they also created a more progressive version of NBC's detective dramas.
Today Ronald was watching this TV series called "A Hundred Battles of Dragons". The male protagonist in it, Ma Gaixian, is a special soldier who is entrusted with solving various crises around the world.
But because he is a pacifist, he never uses weapons or kills enemies. Instead, he uses various things that can be bought in supermarkets to achieve what he wants to do.
This kind of ridiculous TV series has good ratings. Housewives like Diane (temporary) especially like this kind of TV series. They are not worried about their children imitating guns and violence after watching it.
At this time, Bannon called.
"How's it going? Does Fox have any ideas about purchasing Seinfeld?"
"They liked it very much, but they also encountered the problem of low ratings from the audience. So they only gave a six-episode first season order. Are you willing to accept it?" Ronald said Barry on 20th Century Fox
Diller told Bannon what he called him personally.
Both Barry Diller and his boss Rupert owed Ronald a favor, so they wanted to know if Ronald really valued this TV series so much. If so, they were willing to push it forward.
Return the favor.
"If there are only six episodes, then I might as well take it from NBC. They are also willing to give a four-episode order, but NBC is definitely much better than the Fox TV network."
Bannon made a decision quickly. The choice was not difficult because NBC is one of the three national syndicated television networks. The Fox Television Network is only a regional, local television network.
"Okay, I'll refuse. I'll get you a share of 1.5 million U.S. dollars from Fox and Pretty Woman's investment..." Ronald invested part of his own daydream, and then gave it to Xiao
George kept hundreds of thousands of dollars in that fund, and he packaged and sold the rest to Bannon on low-priority terms and asked him to sell it on Wall Street.
"Very good, very good. Now the market is very interested in the romantic dramas you like..."
What Bannon said is not entirely flattering. After "When Harry Met Sully" was released in more than 1,000 theaters, it directly hit the weekend box office of 12 million US dollars. Directly surpassing Batman and second only to Warner Bros.
Another new movie, "Lethal Weapon II."
Ronald's vision for women's films has once again been proven, and overseas distribution of this film is also on the agenda.
