"This is the venue where I shoot flying photos. I have to come here every other day to learn how to hang on a wire to shoot." Helen took Ronald to visit the super large studio the next morning.
The next morning, Ronald was taken by Helen to visit her various sets and scenes on the set of "Supergirl."
"So high? Why don't you use a stuntman?" Ronald looked at the high crane and couldn't help but feel scared. He glanced at Helen worriedly.
"Isn't the substitute unrealistic enough?" Helen held Ronald's hand and said, "I made the flying movements myself so that the close-up shots wouldn't be distorted."
"I don't understand. In fact, it can be dealt with through editing. I'm not saying there will be any accidents. Even if the actor has this skill, he shouldn't let the actor shoot such dangerous actions..."
"Okay, okay, this is how the Superman series is filmed. I also wanted to act more realistically. At the beginning, I didn't dare to hang up the wire. Later, it was Peter who asked me to let go of life and death and bravely risk my life.
, and then the rehearsal of the flying movements was completed.”
"Peter?"
"Mr. O'Toole."
"Helen, promise me, if you think it's dangerous to perform an action, don't worry about those bullshit about letting go of life and death. Protecting yourself is the most important thing. If you think it's too difficult, just call it a double. This is a Hollywood law..."
"That's why Hollywood can't make good movies." A thin, middle-aged actor, carrying a bottle of wine, interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Oh, Peter." When Helen saw it was Peter O'Toole, who played Supergirl's old friend in the movie, she hugged him and said hello, "Peter, this is Ronald, Ronald, this is Peter."
"Hello Mr. O'Toole, why do you Britons have a habit of drinking in the morning?"
Ronald was naturally a little disgusted with this old handsome guy. He gave Helen a line lesson and encouraged her to go into battle herself without a substitute. It looked like they were very familiar with each other.
Moreover, an actor was holding a bottle of liquor during breakfast, and he seemed to be quite addicted to alcohol.
"Kick out fat Jack, and you kick out the whole world." Peter O'Toole picked up the fat, belly-shaped wine bottle, shook it towards Ronald, and said a line slowly, which sounded like
It's like something out of Shakespeare's play.
"Falstaff in Henry IV?" Helen Slater asked Peter O'Toole with a curious look in her eyes.
"Yeah, who would go to see Henry IV if Falstaff wasn't in Henry IV?"
"Damn it," Ronald cursed angrily in a low voice. He couldn't understand what this handsome old drunkard said at all. He didn't know what he was talking about. All he knew was that it seemed to be from Shakespeare's play "Henry IV"
A comic character.
Ronald, who was born in Yeluzi, faced British actors with a background in Shakespeare's drama. He suddenly felt that he was very uneducated. He couldn't catch what they said, and he didn't know if they were laughing at him or if they had some deep meaning.
"So you are also in the film industry, Ronald?" Seeing that Ronald was silent, O'Toole knew that he might not be familiar with Shakespeare, so he changed his tone of voice and started chatting with him.
"Yeah, I'm actually a director, making some small productions in Hollywood."
"Ronald is very powerful. His debut film sold 40 million US dollars at the box office. And he taught me how to audition for the role of Supergirl." Helen took Ronald's arm and asked her for her boyfriend.
Increase your face.
"Oh, that's really good. But you two sweet little sparrows have to forgive me, I have to make some breakfast for my little Falstaff." O'Toole nodded to Ronald and went to the restaurant on the Pinewood set for dinner.
went.
"Let's go eat too, the waffles there are delicious." Helen also took Ronald to the restaurant.
"Why, are you still jealous of Peter? Helen took a piece of muffin and ate it. She exercised intensively every day, which allowed her to relax her diet appropriately during this period, which was very enjoyable.
"No, I just don't like that British actors also speak Shakespearean accent in their daily lives. It seems that I don't understand." Ronald smiled, touched Helen's hand and said softly.
Snap, Helen gently slapped Ronald's hand, "This is the ability that our American actors crave. They all graduated from Cambridge and Oxford and have been engaged in drama performances very early. In their hands, acting has become
An art."
"I don't know. For me, there is no need for this kind of accent in movie performances. As long as it is close to life and makes the audience feel that this is how the character speaks in life. For example, Supergirl, she came to the country of America on Earth to do ordinary things.
How can a high school girl speak with a Shakespearean accent?"
"Hmm... um..." Helen hit Ronald hard and fast several times. She was a little unhappy that Ronald was so disparaging of the actor's acting ability, as if making a movie only requires a few good-looking actors in front of the camera.
Just smile.
However, what her boyfriend said is not completely unreasonable. Acting in movies is indeed different from acting in dramas, and it cannot be copied completely. After several years of training at the New York Performing Arts Academy, Helen has always been interested in actors who can perform Shakespeare's plays.
At first glance, they always look a bit awkward when rehearsing in school.
"Ronald, Ronald!" The CAA assistant who came to pick up Ronald yesterday appeared at the Pinewood set again. He saw Ronald running over.
"Is there a problem?"
"One of your investors came to me through the Los Angeles office and asked you to call him back. He is now in Israel, his name is Minahan."
"Oh?" Ronald took the note handed by his assistant, with Minahan's phone number in Israel written on it.
"Did he say something?" Ronald was a little confused. Why was Minahan looking for him at this time?
The assistant shook his head and said, "I don't know. I'll make a long-distance call for you. Once the call is connected, I'll call you."
"Who is looking for you?" Helen asked.
"It's Minahan, the boss of Cannon Pictures. He invested in my new movie. He didn't know what he was talking about and came to me. He looked very anxious."
"Cannon Pictures, the one you said makes funny movies?"
"Yeah, that's him," Ronald told Helen the ins and outs of financing.
"Ronald, the call has been connected." The assistant came over and called Ronald.
"I'll go for a minute." Ronald wiped his mouth with a napkin and went over to answer Minahan's call.
"Minahan, are you still in Israel? What time is it there? What do you want from me?"
"Don't worry about the time. I have a big problem here. I need you. Come to Israel, otherwise we won't be able to shoot 'Sahara'."
"Wait, wait, what's the problem? What does it have to do with me? Can I solve it if I go there?"
"Brooke Shields' mother, Terry, had a big conflict with the director, and I had to come over to mediate. Now I have fired the director, and I am taking on the director's job concurrently, but Terry is still unwilling to cooperate. Brooke said that she would ask you to mediate.
, her mother is more likely to listen to you."
"But I'm still on vacation. I'm spending time with my girlfriend here in London."
"Don't worry about it, Ronald. I invested money in your movie without asking a word, and even helped you underwrite overseas theaters. Now that there is a problem with my 25 million big production, you have to come.
Do me a favor.
Let me beg you, this is a big production and it will go down in history. Now that I have encountered a problem that no one else can solve except you, you have to come. This will not only help me, but also do the film art a big favor."
The sound quality of the long-distance call was poor, and Minahan's voice sounded particularly anxious under the buzzing noise.
"Oh, okay, I'll leave for Israel as soon as possible."
Returning to his seat, Ronald saw another lady sitting next to Helen. She had a bad feeling when she smiled. This kind of smile usually appears more on the faces of male actors. Women smile like this, which makes people laugh.
It feels strange and a little fresh.
"Helen, Minahan came to me to solve a problem. His 25 million big production has encountered a big problem, and I have to help him. After all, he invested in my movie without asking any questions."
"Oh, okay. You were going back to America anyway." Helen tilted her head and kissed Ronald, "Let me introduce to you, this is Ms. Faye Dunaway, who plays the villain in the movie."
"Hello", Ronald stretched out his hand to say hello to her.
"Are you talking about that Minahan? Is it that pig?" Dunaway made a pig-headed face.
"Um, Minahan Golan from Cannon Pictures. If you are saying that he is fatter, then I can't refute it."
"Yeah, it's this fat pig. He tricked me into playing 'The Wicked Lady'. It was originally a heroine movie. After I finished filming, he didn't tell me and secretly added a lot of erotic love to the supporting role.
The drama can’t even be rated R now.”
Faye Dunaway made a disgusting gesture "Uh... Bah..."
"Uh, I don't know about that." Ronald imagined Minahan's personality, and it was not impossible for him to do something like this, to do some erotic drama.
"No, you know. I heard from Helen that you are also an exploitation film maker. How could I not know these tricks of yours?"
Ronald put down the napkin heavily. He didn't want to quarrel with Helen's main supporting role in the movie. He would leave in two days and not let the relationship between Helen and this crazy woman become tense.
Ronald got up and went to get some bread and bacon. When he came back, Dunaway had left the table.
"What happened to her?" Ronald asked Helen, pointing to his brain.
"She is there every morning...sometimes on the set in the afternoon..." Helen leaned into Ronald's ear and told him that Faye Dunaway had a habit of abusing drugs and that the temper on the set was not very stable.
Everyone knows about her "hobby".
After breakfast, Helen began her daily exercise and rehearsals with other actors.
Ronald was wandering around the Pinewood Studio alone. He was really bored and started reading interviews with directors. There were many interviews with famous directors to pass the time.
In the afternoon, Helen came back from fencing, and Ronald helped her change her clothes diligently. The two of them walked along the path in the pine forest and talked about their farewells.
"I'm going to Israel soon. I really want to see you again soon. You filmed Supergirl and it took you so long to join the set. I really miss you." Ronald lifted Helen's long, dyed blonde hair.
, said softly.
"That's what actors are like. I miss you too." Helen hid her face in Ronald's chest.
"When you finish filming Supergirl and return to New York, we will have time to spend time together." Ronald patted Helen on the back.
"Really? In fact, we just need to seize the moment. I like you and you like me. Isn't this good?"
"Of course I will." Ronald lowered his head and looked into Helen's eyes, "Why do you think so?"
"No, Ronald. Of course I like you, I just think it's not that easy to be together in the entertainment industry. You see, we have been apart for so long before we have the opportunity to get together. As long as we treat each other sincerely, it will be very difficult."
OK."
Helen's two big blue eyes flickered very movingly, but her words were not so beautiful.
Ronald frowned, and she didn't know who had instilled the fallacy in her, about seizing the moment. Of course, if you like each other, you have to be together, and then get married and have children. It's not easy to find someone who really likes each other.
"Of course, how about I prove it to you." Ronald picked up Helen and walked to the hotel.
"Hahaha, I believe in you, I believe in you...let me down."
After the night of passion, Ronald sat on the sofa and hugged Helen, "Why did you say that this afternoon? Is there something wrong?"
"You know my parents were divorced. They were so loving in the past, but they finally broke up. I have always felt that good relationships have a shelf life and will not last long. Look at Faye Dunaway and Mia Farrow, they are all actresses
, and neither of them got to the end with their first husband.”
"But there are also model couples in the entertainment industry, right?"
"I don't know. Anyway, if you have someone else you love, you must tell me frankly." Helen stroked Ronald's lips with her hand and said slowly.
"I only like you, Helen. Love is not like moonlight, with full moon and new moon. It can also last for a long time."
"Well..." Helen's answer turned into a passionate kiss.
…
"I have to go to Israel to rescue the situation. Just be obedient here and wait until I finish my work before coming to London to visit." After a few days of happy gatherings, the two of them spent a few days together, and it was time for Ronald to leave for the airport.
He and Helen hugged each other and expressed their feelings to each other.
"After exercising, don't go on a diet. I like your figure very much."
"Um……"
"Stop thinking about Shakespeare's lines and listen more to the director."
"Um……"
"Also, any dangerous actions must be completed by a substitute."
"Um……"
"So, that's it? Goodbye?" Ronald said everything he wanted to say.
"Well, I'll wait for you to come see me again." Helen kissed Ronald and opened the car door for him.
Ronald waved to Helen, and CAA's assistant drove on the road.
Helen stood on the side of the road, touched her lips, thought about it for a moment, and turned back to the set. "Supergirl" was about to start filming, and the director said that the filming of the stunt scenes was very time-consuming, and it might take more than half a year to film here.
"Did you find my luggage?" Ronald looked for his luggage at the airport information desk.
"Sir, I found it. He was mistakenly assigned to the previous stop on your flight. Please sign here to collect it."
"Finally I found it. I don't have to go back to Israel to buy clothes."
