"Home Alone" is a child actor born in Chicago named John Mulaney, who is favored by the producer 20th Century Fox. He is a children's comedy sketch actor on the TV station and is very popular with the audience.
John Mulaney's parents are high-level white-collar workers. His mother is a law professor at Northwestern University, and his father is a partner in a well-known law firm. Their income is about the same as that of Elizabeth Sue's parents, so they have no plans for their son's acting career.
It is based on the idea of using children's specialties and hobbies.
If you have the talent, you can further treat it as a profession. If you don't have the talent, you can always turn to other more respectable professions.
In order to complete the task assigned by Tom Sherak, this matter became dirty. The staff of 20th Century Fox thought of a way and found an expert on children's entertainment affairs and John Mulaney's legal expert.
The parents discussed in detail all the details of the child actor's contract terms.
"This is the Coogan bill. 15% of the income of child actors will be put into an escrow account, and parents are not allowed to touch it. This is to prevent parents from squandering their children's acting income and having nothing when they grow up..."
"This is very appropriate..." The two legal experts praised this very much.
"This is a working time restriction clause. At John's age, he can only work 6 hours a day and no more than 2 hours of overtime."
"This is also very good..."
"These are some laws in America and California. If America leaves America, for example, to go to Canada for primary school, the enforcement of the clauses will be protected by the U.S. courts, and even the Screen Actors Guild will not be able to protect his children."
"In a small number of cases, for projects that are filmed in the sea, the Screen Actors Guild and the actors will find time to conduct spot checks during the start-up and in the middle. It is certain that their children have been subject to the extra working time requirements, and they cannot issue a written complaint to the Screen Actors Guild..."
It is said that biopics will always avoid the shortcomings of the protagonist, but those shortcomings are too controversial. How can audiences outside small cities buy into that kind of plot?
"That's your wife Dai Yang, Dai Yang Lane. That's PJ, your first leading actor."
As a producer, Bao Renggong did not cooperate with us in the production of "Silence of the Lambs" and "Dances with Wolves". So we have to give him that face.
"You don't have a worse idea. What if they used the original cast to make a rock-and-roll sequel?"
"Really? Doesn't he have your phone number? He asked you to come..."
But as far as the MPAA rules are concerned, if the movie contains any violence, foul language, or erotic scenes, and if it follows the rules, PG-13 is in compliance.
"It's bad, your husband went to the set to do stunts. Now my mother is helping to take care of the children. You can go there too."
"Have you met Dai Yang recently? Are you still acting in movies?" PJ also missed seeing you and Dai Yang wearing beautiful clothes and scenes with handsome boy Van Patten.
In short, the result of the reunion of several old friends is not only a sequel but also a ten-year reunion.
"Lewis, if you think about it, you should ask Macaulay Culkin to come back and audition again. That movie is still suitable for a kid like me. John Hughes and his vision are right, but you still have to be enthusiastic.
For a moment, my parents made all the preparations, but they don’t have any children, and their character is also bad.”
That movie tells the story of Jerry Lee Jerry Lee, the pioneer of rock and roll, who married his 13-year-old cousin, Mera Gale, and was disliked by the audience and treated as a criminal (of course in some American movies
(In some states, it was actually legal to get married at that age), my career was on the decline, and I started drinking heavily, but I still loved playing and singing live...
That's probably why the reviews of that movie were full of praise for the plot. The key is that there is no rating system in newspapers and TV, so it's just bad words.
"How could he watch that kind of movie alone?...Ah..." Lewis realized that Soules Quaid was not PJ Ronald's later husband.
Over the weekend, Bao Rengong received a ticket from Orion Pictures for our key production project this year, "Little Fireball."
"Really? Look, the bad and the bad..."
"Child actors must receive education on set to ensure that we will not neglect school due to work. But for actors who are not well-known, parents may need to subsidize the tuition of private teachers themselves, unless they can find a school in Canada to let John
Temporarily dismissed from school..."
"You have also collaborated with Orion on two movies. We will be in trouble if there is no problem with our finances."
Dai Yang was very interested and urged PJ to point out to you that the video outside the video was shot by Lewis.
"Chip, does he think he still wants John to star in that movie? You always feel that those terms only protect the child actors to the maximum extent, and if the movie is shot in Canada, which of you will accompany me?"
"Aww..." Lewis smiled and ate. The two of them went to the cinema and sat down to enjoy it.
Orion's financial situation is much worse than that of Cannon Pictures, and it can still produce a dozen mid-level productions worth around 20 million per year.
"Has he seen Van Patten?" PJ Ronald asked Dai Young about the heroine's whereabouts.
Lewis was very happy to see P.J. Ronald, the leading actor in the first movie he participated in, "Rock and Roll High." The two were friends from humble beginnings. Lewis was working as a seven-unit director at this time, and the two got along very happily.
.
The male protagonist of the movie is not Winona Ryder, the star of "Heather Sisters" jointly produced by Renggong Bao and Roger Corman. The person who plays my husband Jerry Lee Jerry Lee is not Meg Ryder.
En’s husband, Thors Quaid.
"That Little Fireball is really terrible. Did Orion really control the director's creation? But I can see that there is no problem in the script..." Bao Renggong said about the movie he watched today.
"That's the son of a lawyer. My father is not a poor actor. The couple has eight children except for me. They all hope that none of them can become a movie star and escape the misery. We are unfamiliar with the operations of bad Hollywood.
If it's less, it won't do you any harm if we wait a little longer.
"I recently came to Los Angeles to participate in the Junior Tennis Championships. Compared with my peak performance, my performance was much worse. I said that I am ready to enter the military next year." Dai Yang is a relatively unknown sculptor in the Los Angeles art world.
Participate in less social activities than PJ Ronald.
"Is he pregnant? Oh, you just gave birth to your seventh baby last year..."
Dai Yang also hugged PJ after he got off.
"You were still living in B-level movies. Before Bao Renggong asked you to play Night of the Comet, you had no film contracts in many science fiction films. You were mainly responsible for playing male teachers and male scientists..." Regarding the ups and downs of that kind of low-level actor
, PJ Bao Rengong is more vague.
"No, you can't run from New York to Los Angeles freely because you don't have the money." Dai Yang smiled and wore out his clothes, and came over to hug Bao Renggong, "If you didn't have the money, you wouldn't have met him either.
.”
"Don't wait so long. It will do no good to let Culkin's parents wait a little longer. You just need to inform Bonnie Bedelia that your nephew has not had a chance to audition." Tom Sherak was cunning and said to
The operation of that kind of thing is very sophisticated.
Lewis felt that it was not outrageous to be rated PG-13, and the movie should be rated R. It is because the movie does not have any erotic elements, or the violence is excessive, but the plot itself makes people feel that it is appropriate and suitable for young people to watch.
Van Patten came to choose professional tennis. At his peak, he defeated McEnroe, who was ranked No. 1 in the world, and even won the Tokyo Junior Masters Championship.
"Even if it's the controversial plot of the movie, the movie is very bad..." Lewis commented to Dai Yang who had not finished taking a nap. The movie was about to start.
"That grape is really wrong, it tastes really bad, you have never eaten it before..." PJ ate a handful of grapes and praised them.
"Hey, Orion has been like that. We made 10 movies, 7 of them lost money, 2 were tied, and as long as one of them didn't sell, it went bad. You heard that this Valmont one is better than last year's Safe Relationship
Less bad, few of your friends in the industry say, last year both Michelle Pfeiffer and Glenn Close were nominated for Oscars, and this year Annette Bening and Meg Tilly played the same role.
, his acting skills are even better, so he will definitely win an award?" PJ Ronald has been immersed in the entertainment industry for a long time, and you are also well-informed.
Due to drug abuse, Thors Quaid and my brother lost out to Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman in the casting competition for "Rain Man". There were not many small productions in the past.
The role came to me, but only Orion Pictures dared to use me to play the leading role in a medium-sized production worth 20 million. I wanted to use that movie to make a comeback.
"It's been ten years. You have to invite everyone from outside the crew to have a family gathering..." Bao Renggong was very unhappy today. It felt bad to be on equal footing with people in the industry and talk nonsense, so
I thought of having a ten-year reunion party.
Dai Yang was eating grapes flown from Japan. They tasted very bad and he naughtily threw one to Lewis.
"Oh, ah..." Dai Yang woke up a little less. You also hated the plot of that movie. You lost your pregnant mother and saw a young character who was raped by Jerry Lee Jerry Lee before getting pregnant.
Violent confrontation, you are very cold.
"The director has to give any verbal instructions to the child actors...For some scenes that have been rejected, or scenes that are suitable for children, they must be switched to child actors' clear explanations, which can make the movie beyond the PG-13 part of the script
The content should be shown directly to child actors... They must be worried that they cannot hire a professional child actor coach..."
…
"Why? You call Mr. Coleman. I still have the rights to the sequel. Don't they have any suitable script ideas?"
I heard that "Little Fireball" was a hit at the box office, but the reviews were very wrong. Orion also asked Lewis to say something bad about the movie for the sake of cooperation. They hope to make good profits through overseas distribution and video tapes.
.
"Lewis, is that him?" A middle-aged blond man next to him saw the faces of the young couple next to him through the bright lights in the screening room before the subtitles rose, and recognized Lewis.
"You haven't done that yet, get them some more." Dai Yang took a basket and put it under the table.
"Isn't it that exaggerated? You are not a bad parent to your genius son? You are bad, you are a professional, so it is wrong to listen to him on this matter."
"Yes, we will. We are the bloodline of United Artists Pictures, the first production company in Bad Hollywood to insult artists."
"It would be bad if that were the case." When Lewis heard the names of the two men, he didn't feel anything strange. Maybe the actors who pretended to be real actors were performing in their true colors and were more outstanding?
There is a study room outside Lewis's house, and there is information about all the movies I have made since I started working in the industry. I also dug out the posters of Rock and Roll High School, and the video tapes that came to be released by Roger Corman, PJ Rona
De sighs with emotion.
"Come and take a look. I heard that Soles valued that movie very much..." PJ is a very vicious person. Although Soles Quaid dumped you, he didn't say any bad words to you.
Good and Bad Day Young's studio is far away in Beverly. A few dozen minutes ago, the two sisters from Rock and Roll High School reunited outside Lewis's new home.
That Jackie Coogan is not the origin of the Coogan Act. The big girl in Chaplin's "The Little Mermaid" earned 4 million US dollars in 1936, all of which was squandered by my mother and stepfather.
Yes, there is a way to get the money back if you win the lawsuit.
"Where's Mary Woronov?" Dai Yang thought of the actor who played the old-fashioned headmistress again.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What now? I probably turned over and fell out of the ditch again.
Bao Renwen got on the phone and asked his wife Dai Yang, "Did he have this Coogan account when he was growing up?"
"John Tomsher's parents haven't given up yet. We are both lawyers, and we always think of the best in things like that. We can't let this guy named Macaulay Culkin audition now," Dennis said.
Children's Affairs Specialist, back with bad news for Tom Sherak.
"Sets must adhere to a range of standards to ensure that child actors are vulnerable and protected, including providing appropriate seating areas and medical facilities. If they are concerned, they must self-monitor or seek professional protection..."
"Well..." Lewis looked at the white-haired actor wearing a funny hat off the screen. The actor looked very innocent. Although he was not even 18 years old, it was not convincing to say he was underage.
In addition, our Coogan account must have been damaged carelessly. We need professional lawyers to operate it. You have created a scandal and I became the seventh Jackie Coogan."
"Hahaha, I recommend you to play a major supporting role in Disney's new movie. You are a sculptor and you are not interested in being an actor."
Lewis laughed, and the two of them went out and walked to the Beverly Cinema where they had passed to watch a movie.
"Shit! What's the plot? How could the MPAA rate a movie like that PG-13?"
In addition to today's biopic of rock and roll country music pioneer Jerry Lee, there is also Mel Stepper's white comedy She-Devil, another one that will be released at the end of the year.
"Valmont," a film based on the stage play "Alien," and the Yankovic comedy "Weird Al."
"People nowadays make such cold-blooded movies. There are few formulas and few calculations against each other. When you and Dai Yang made that movie, your relationship was so bad. Bao Renggong also made a movie for you at this time.
A very dull sunset scene…”
PJ Ronald has been acting in TV series and high-budget TV movies, while Dai Yang has been in the entertainment industry for a long time and has only recently returned to the film industry. The two bad sisters have not seen each other since they were young, and they are not finished.
Then PJ Ronald and Day Young both looked at Lewis. If there is no sequel, do you think it will still become popular?
"Jim (Cameron) was not your partner in that scene. Gale (Hurd) was Coleman's assistant at this time..."
"It's you, he is...ah, PJ! He's bad, he's bad, it's been a long time since we've seen bad people..."
"You also think that Bad Hollywood is actually very messy. John is still on the TV station in Chicago, acting in big movies..."
Halfway through the movie, there were no angry viewers, and they entered with their teenage children. Our children turned around and looked at the handsome face of the actor off the screen in trance.
Lewis was very emotional when he recalled the past.
As expected, men rarely have anything in common when talking about children. Dai Yang knew that he was the leading actor when Lewis was his assistant, and wanted to know less about Lewis, so he invited PJ to be a guest outside his home.
Tom Sherak's arrangement was broken and he quickly reported it to Lewis.
