Chapter 494: Professional Director and Grassroots Team
"Oh yeah, shooting a movie here is more comfortable than going on vacation."
The actress recommended by Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, set foot on Grand Cayman Island, put on big sunglasses, and her heart became active. The crew paid for her own air tickets, food and accommodation.
The director also gave her two days of preparation time, so she could visit the famous Seven Mile Beach like a tourist on vacation.
How about everyone in Hollywood saying that Director Ronald treats actresses very well? He was previously filming the movie "Boomerang" by Eddie Murphy, who is from his own ethnic group, and he was also shot by another heroine, a boxer.
In the early stages of Tyson's career, Robin Givens excluded him and many scenes were deleted.
That Bitch defrauded Tyson of a lot of money by not signing a prenuptial agreement, and she became obsessed with her own movie career. Even Eddie Murphy wanted to give her a three-pointer.
When you get here, you can not only enjoy the scenery, but also have a scene of flirting with Tom Cruise. Although the scene is not much, it is not a lot of limelight. A scene of flirting with Tom Cruise may be more valuable than a scene with Ai
Ten scenes of Dee Murphy flirting to enhance his status in the industry.
After all, not many white viewers will watch Eddie Murphy pick up a black beauty. What they want to see is all kinds of silly jokes.
"Director, I am Halle Berry..." In the evening, after watching the filming for a day, Halle Berry finally got the chance to talk to Ronald at the crew's beach party.
How about saying that he is a real great director? Every day's work is done in strict accordance with the procedures. What shots are taken and how many takes are strictly executed according to the shooting plan. Unlike that bastard Eddie Murphy who leaves the studio
It has become his own sex hunting ground. Anyway, when the time comes, he will smile with eight big white teeth and there will be an audience to see him. He spends more time drunk every day than when he is sober. If it weren't for his follower Martin...
Lawrence is almost impossible to film.
"Ah, hello..." Although Ronald had already met her, on the beach, he was still struck by the lazy temperament exuding from Harley under the gentle sea breeze.
"I took it upon myself to change into a set of my own clothes." Of course, Halle Berry felt proud of Ronald's up-and-down look. She couldn't help but lift her hair, resting her chin on her hand, and exuded a self-conscious look.
The most charming eyes.
"Ruth, William, Ben, come quickly, and Richard, Richard!" Ronald was a little excited. Halle Berry knew her own advantages very well and knew how to show a dark-skinned woman.
Beauty's style.
The upper body is a vest full of holes, revealing two belts inside, two large lapis lazuli earrings, and big, dark eyes, making it difficult for a man not to want to explore.
Ruth, William and Ben were the crew's distributor, costume designer, and makeup artist. They were all impressed when they came over, and they were full of praise for Halle Berry's taste.
"This is the best black combination I have seen this year, no, in the past three years..."
"Look at this short curly hair, I don't think there is any need to use a wig..."
Halle Berry thought that the next scene was about Ronald flirting with her. If she could sleep with the director, her screen time and the number of close-ups would not be doubled? But the people Ronald called were professionals.
It was really about arranging for the company to seduce the woman played by Tom Cruise's Mitchel in the movie, and you were telling me your own opinions one by one.
Although they all allow themselves to use the sexiest and most unforgettable image to seduce the male protagonist played by Tom Cruise, the process of getting good treatment without sleeping with him still makes Halle Berry unhappy.
Believe it too much.
"Richard, what do you think?" Ronald asked a man named Richard Dean. He is Tom Cruise's dedicated makeup director, and he handles makeup matters related to Cruise on the set.
He had to nod his head in agreement.
"A little suggestion, can you make the earrings a little smaller? When doing a close-up, it will hinder the angle..." Richard Dean's meaning is very clear. Don't be in the same frame as Tom Cruise.
He took the spotlight and stole too much of Tom's limelight.
"Very good point..." Ronald nodded. These two big earrings don't look like escort girls on the beach, but a bit like the kind of girls in Harlem. Presumably Harvard graduates like Mitchell would prefer them.
She is a beauty with a slightly office girl temperament.
"Okay, let's follow this preparation tomorrow..." Ronald decided after watching the small transformation of Halle Berry by several professionals and getting the consent of Tom Cruise's makeup artist.
Harley's custom outfit tomorrow.
"Welcome to the set, Harley. We will try to shoot some scenes of you tomorrow, and then the day after tomorrow will be your scene opposite Tom."
"Oh, I feel very honored..." Halle Berry hugged Ronald and waited for his instructions. But after Ronald finished this matter, he just looked at himself without raising his head.
He started writing something in his notebook. This was his work diary, which he had maintained for many years.
"Is this it? It's over?" Halle Berry couldn't understand it at all. Shouldn't she be brought into the room, and then hinted or made explicit that she must be obedient, drink something, smoke something, do some messy tricks, and then wait until tomorrow?
Did you arrange a close-up shot of her?
"Ah?" Ronald looked up and saw that Halle Berry hadn't left yet. He was stunned for a moment, "Of course...well, unless you have anything else to ask me?"
"this?"
The two stared at each other for a few seconds, and Halle Berry couldn't tell whether Ronald was joking or really just doing business.
Seeing that it was about to end, Halle Berry's smart energy came back, "Now that we are on a tropical island, there are many wild things we can do..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As she spoke, she moved forward, pulled her clothes, and brought her beautiful collarbone and attractive chest to Ronald's eyes.
"Click... click..." Ronald took a few steps back, keeping a distance from Harley, and then took out the viewfinder from his pocket, "Don't move... keep it like this."
"Uh?" Halle Berry suddenly didn't know what to do. Ronald actually started working with the director's viewfinder, covering Halle's upper body to check the effect of her sexiness in the lens.
"Very good, ah, this line is very good, very good improvisation. When Denzel told me that you are the best black actor in recent years, I doubted whether it was an exaggeration. Now it seems that you are well-deserved.
Really, remember your mood and state now. When filming that scene, I want to see your state today, okay?
I'm really lucky. This supporting role is very important for Mitche's transformation. Only when the audience sees you will they feel that Mitche's rejection of you is his true love for his wife, which is very convincing. Now, go and relax and have a good rest.
Wait, see you tomorrow..."
After Ronald finished speaking, he started busy with his own business again. He left Halle Berry alone on the beach, floating in the wind. "Is there really such a director who doesn't want any actress who comes to his door?"
However, Halle Berry's admiration for Ronald's traditional gentleman appearance was quickly broken. She saw a very beautiful white female star with blond hair and blue eyes.
After the beach party, she walked over silently and held Ronald's arm. Ronald smiled tenderly at her, and the two stood up and walked hand in hand back to the hotel.
"Tell Mr. Washington that I am grateful, extremely grateful. Indeed, as rumored, Ronald treats blacks and whites, or other ethnic groups equally, and is very professional. But... damn, he doesn't like black women.
But he took great care of me and gave me the best treatment for a young actor. I have never received such respect from any other crew..."
Halle Berry was in her room in the hotel, calling her agent. In comparison, Eddie Murphy's team was just a big team, like a harem of jealous female stars.
"I understand. It seems that Ronald is not playing tricks. I'm looking for an opportunity to go to Cayman Island to visit..." Denzel Washington got a report from his agent, and sure enough, Ronald asked him to shoot that "
"Philadelphia Story" is a sincere attempt to reflect the discrimination against black people.
Although he used the discrimination against black people to cover up other more sensitive discriminations, the way he spread the matter and explained it clearly to himself also made him less wary. In addition, Halle Berry this time
The report of the field trip made him pay more attention to the new project. The same role, played carefully or casually, will have a much different final effect.
…
The filming went extremely smoothly. All the actresses were dressed very coolly and each had their own sexy features.
"It's done, I'll bring the information on board..." Holly Hunter also returned to the crew. She still had the same southern accent, low-cut backless black vest, and hugged Bridget Fonda's character.
Abby steals tax evasion and money laundering information from Mitchel's mentor, Robert Duvall's character Avery.
"Ship, what ship?" Bridget Fonda looked confused. Secretary Tammy asked him for help, stole Avery's safe key, and obtained the key evidence of the transfer. But the ship was not mentioned before.
Things.
"This is Mitche's other plan..."
"Tell me, what is it?"
"Hurry up and put the key back in Avery's pants pocket. He's going to wake up soon. I'll bring these information to Mitchell..." Tammy still didn't say anything and pushed Abby out.
This scene tells the story of Mitchell's wife, played by Bridget Fonda, who wanted to take revenge on him on the pretext that Mitcher cheated on a woman in the Cayman Islands, so she agreed to the seduction of Mitcher's master Avery and came to Cayman to marry him.
Spend the night with him.
But she drugged Avery's wine, made him fall asleep, and stole the key evidence and gave it to Tammy.
However, many places on the island were monitored by law firms and gang clients, and Abby and Tammy's phones were tapped. After knowing that she was here to steal information, she called Avery, who had just woken up, to tell her.
But Avery still had a little conscience left, and he thought that his own charm had seduced Abby, a beautiful young woman who was angry that her husband was cheating on her. When he was disappointed, he told Abby the truth and asked her to leave quickly.
Finally, he also told Abby that the woman Mitchell met on the beach was arranged by the law firm. Previously, the seduction of the escort girl played by Halle Berry was rejected by Mitchell. After that failed, another arrangement was made.
A man treated a woman roughly and ran away after meeting Mitchell.
The plot of a hero saving a beauty was a complete blow to Mitche's loose mind, and he also took many cheating photos to blackmail Mitche.
"Cut!"
This scene was successfully filmed. The tropical island made the actors very relaxed, which played a very good role in the shooting. In the relaxed state, everyone seemed to have extra blessings, and the sample film made the actors feel very relaxed.
People feel very satisfied.
"Aha, Denzel, I didn't expect you to come to visit me. Let me tell you, the Halle Berry you recommended is really impressive..."
Ronald was reminded that Denzel Washington was here, so he took off his headphones and stood up from the director's chair to talk to him.
"It's all because of your good taste. I just went to see the samples, and I have to say that Eddie (Murphy) doesn't know how to make black actresses look beautiful..."
"It's just a different play, hahaha..." Ronald didn't want to get involved in the internal strife among the black people, so he gently put the words away.
"To be honest, I have been in Hollywood for many years. When Harley called me, I was surprised. Many white people talk about racial equality, but this is the first time I see someone like you who actually practices it.
." Denzel Washington praised Ronald fiercely. They black people don't value anything else but fairness...
"I'll tell you why, because the tickets in the hands of black audiences also cost money...discriminating against a certain ethnic group is irresponsible for the movie..." Ronald's idea is actually very simple. Black people also have a ticket.
When it comes to tickets, the reality is that you don’t want the box office of this ethnic group that accounts for more than ten percent of the population.
"No matter what you say," Denzel Washington thought that Ronald didn't want to be said by those conservative white people, so he showed an "I understand" expression.
"I came here to ask you how the selection of the leading actor in Philadelphia Story went? Is there a suitable candidate?"
"Jonathan has contacted many actors, including Jeremy Irons, Gary Oldman, Willem Dafoe, and Kevin Kline.
…”
Ronald actually sometimes received calls from Jonathan Demme at night. The casting was not very smooth. All of them were thin in appearance, and their past acting skills also showed signs of being out of tune with the mainstream of society, so in Daniel
·After Day-Lewis refused, he was always the first person to be considered.
Jeremy Irons and Gary Oldman are British actors. Acting in such a very realistic American-themed movie will have some difficulties, such as accents and knowledge of America...
Willem Dafoe is a bit too weird, and Kevin Kline is too decent. Playing a sick Philadelphia lawyer with minority tendencies is not very convincing.
"Why don't you try Tom Hanks?" Denzel Washington also mentioned a candidate.
"He? He can't..."
Ronald shook his head. The filming of "Sleepless in Seattle" has not yet been completed. Besides, Tom Hanks gained some weight to play the widowed widower. This role requires a skinny body.
"Is it because of the weight?" Denzel Washington also knows the answer.
"Not only that, Tom Hanks has already helped me shoot two movies in a row, Pink League and Sleepless in Seattle. If I ask him to continue shooting a third movie without taking a break, his wife Rita will kill me.
