Chapter 198: The Essentials of Casting

"But I really want to play this role, and I think this role is very suitable for me. So, Ronald, please, let me have a talk with director Andrei Konchalovsky. I only want one

An opportunity to have a face-to-face interview with him.”

Jodie Foster came to Ronald's apartment and asked for permission again and again. She worked hard here in Los Angeles for a long time, and her agent helped her arrange an audition, but Konchalovsky rejected her self-recommendation.

Four years after leaving Hollywood, she was no longer the acting star of tomorrow who was chased by producers and directors. She could only come to Ronald to ask for help.

"I only know Minahan Golan, the owner of Cannon. Konchalovsky was the first famous director he hired. Minahan needs the approval of a famous director. Do you understand?"

Ronald had no choice but to explain to Jodie Foster. Judy had helped him a lot at Yale at that time, so it was not easy to reject her directly. Konchalovsky was famously arbitrary.

"I understand, I understand. He wants a good reputation that respects artists, so he will tolerate all of Konchalovsky's decisions."

"Smart girl", Ronald thought to himself. He admired this top student who relied on his own ability to get into Yale. He filled up the black teapot he had brewed and filled Judy's teacup.

"I didn't demand that I get the role, but I needed a fair chance to audition. Konchalovsky turned me down before he even met me. That's not a fair opportunity in American culture, is it?

?”

Ronald thought to himself that this was right. The deeply rooted value of American citizens is that everyone has equal opportunities. You can have the privileges brought by wealth or power, but when faced with opportunities, you still have to join those who have worked hard at the bottom.

compete.

In other words, everyone must maintain their recognition of this concept on the surface, although this may not be the case in real life.

"Well, I happen to be going to the Cannon to meet Minahan. If I have a chance, I will go to meet Mr. Konchalovsky and try to get you an audition opportunity. I can't guarantee that you can get it..."

"Thank you, thank you." Jodie Foster didn't wait for Ronald to finish saying it. She had already rushed up to hug Ronald who was sitting on the sofa and kissed him several times on the left and right sides of the face.

Ronald quickly asked her to calm down. Judy was not tall, but her figure was very explosive, and it felt very good to rub Ronald against her body.

Diane and Brooke are not around recently, Demi Moore is also pursuing her real boyfriend, and Ronald's body reacts very well to being rubbed.

However, this kind of advantage is not easy to take advantage of. After all, Jodie Foster is nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. She is not filming in the industry now, which does not mean that she can take advantage of her without nailing her role.

If you take advantage and still can't get it done, it might be even worse. Judy knows many directors and stars in the industry, so if she takes advantage of the situation and wants to be her official girlfriend, that's not clear.

Ronald refused Little Bud's offer to drive him, and drove himself into a Ferrari to go to Cannon Pictures with Judy. These days, he was very interested in driving this 288gto, with its good handling and carefully tuned four-wheel balance.

Sex makes him fascinated by the joy of driving on the road.

Any action you make will elicit good feedback from Ferrari. Every intention you have can be well understood and executed. Just like a director guiding an excellent actor, all intentions will be captured by the camera.

.

"This character is a very independent woman who is very explosive to play. She is weak on the outside but strong on the inside, and has a kind heart. Technically speaking, this kind of role requires a strong imagination. Before the explosion, there are not many rival scenes.

Let you gradually immerse yourself in emotions..."

Jodie Foster was very happy. She kept talking about her understanding of the role in the co-pilot. Ronald was a little annoyed. He had not received any systematic acting training or any of the more professional and profound acting terminology.

, I can’t understand it a bit...

"Very good, you can tell Konchalovsky that when the time comes. He has received professional training from the Theater Directing Department of the Moscow State Film Institute. We need to speed up..."

Without waiting for Judy to respond, Ronald stepped on the accelerator. The dual-channel turbocharger started, the engine obediently let out a powerful roar, and the speed suddenly increased.

The noise of the engine overwhelmed Judy's voice. After opening her mouth twice to try to continue expressing her opinion, Jodie Foster reluctantly closed her mouth and closed the car window.

"Is Andre here? I want to talk to him. This is Miss Jodie Foster." Ronald said to Minahan who came to greet him.

"Ms. Foster, you are very welcome. You can sit here for a moment while Ronald and I go to find Andre Gaga."

When Minahan saw Ronald arriving at his company with America's most influential figure four years ago, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and immediately arranged for his secretary to entertain him.

"For you, Ronald, get Jodie Foster here. Does she want to come back? I'll let her choose the script here, and you have to say good things about me." Minahan thought it was Ronald who wanted to come back.

I want to introduce him to celebrities.

"I have an adventure movie here that follows Indiana Jones, 'King Solomon's Treasures.' Can you let her play the leading role?"

"She came here for Andre's film, written by Akira Kurosawa, Minahan." Ronald couldn't help but tell him to calm down, "Jodie Foster also received a good theater education.

As an actress, she doesn’t like this kind of purely commercial film. What she needs is a film that showcases her acting skills and declares that she has changed from a girl to a woman in Hollywood.”

Jodie Foster knows all too well the value of the word "Akira Kurosawa". Both Spielberg and Lucas are very much looking forward to the Japanese version of "King Lear" that the movie emperor is currently filming in Japan. Being able to work with him

Building connections can be considered a good opportunity to appear in the industry.

"Hey, I know they all like famous directors. Fortunately, you helped me find Andre." Minahan led Ronald in front, "Konchalovsky is watching the five years of Hollywood movies.

For all blockbuster movies, he also wants to follow the rules of Hollywood, making them blockbuster first, then focusing on art."

"Andre", Ronald stepped forward and hugged Konchalovsky warmly.

"Ronald, you came just in time, help me see if this woman is the perfect candidate for technician Sarah in the runaway train."

"Oh, ah..." Ronald sat down in the screening room and heard Konchalovsky delineating the heroine.

On the screen is the "risky business" that made Tom Cruise famous in one fell swoop. It happens to be the heroine Rebecca De Mornay, straddling Cruise, and the camera is shot by Rick in the study.

The back of the armchair where Ruth was sitting blocked the view, and only her face and a pair of long legs stretched out on the edge of the chair were visible.

"I came today just for the heroine. Jodie Foster came to me and said that you rejected her without giving her a chance to audition. Can I ask why?"

"She is your girlfriend?"

"no."

"Then I'll tell you the truth, Jodie Foster is so beautiful."

For this reason again, Ronald thought to himself, "I don't understand, isn't Rebecca De Mornay beautiful? She has captured the most handsome male star of this era."

"Of course she is beautiful, but this is her unique trait, you see..." Konchalovsky pointed to the next scene on the screen. De Mornay changed into a white sweater, and suddenly she was sexy and mysterious.

Her special qualities disappeared without a trace, and she became like the girl next door.

"Sara is a mechanic. She must have the ability to hide her edge when wearing a mechanic suit. She must be beautiful, but she must also be able to act as an ordinary person."

"Okay", Ronald felt that Konchalovsky was not talking nonsense, this quality is indeed not something ordinary beautiful girls can have, "but I still hope you can give Judy a chance to audition, Andre.

In America, this is a concept that everyone agrees with, and you can't reject someone without giving them a chance."

"Well, I still have a lot to learn about Hollywood and America." Konchalovsky took out a handkerchief and wiped his small round glasses.

"I will arrange it. In addition, please help me contact Rebecca De Mornay's agent as soon as possible. She is currently filming a Neil Simon movie. I need her to audition as soon as possible."

"Mr. Konchalovsky has promised to give you the opportunity to audition, but it seems that he already has his favorite candidate." Ronald came out and replied to Jodie Foster.

"Any tips?" Judy looked at Ronald with a pair of blue eyes.

"I think he needs an actor who can restrain his sharpness." Ronald couldn't say too much.

Jodie Foster was deep in thought.

"Ronnie, come and think about it for me, 'King Solomon's Treasure'. Which Hollywood actor can play it? Sexy, mysterious, and adventurous in the wild."

When Minahan Golan failed to seduce Jodie Foster to play a knock-off version of Raiders of the Lost Ark, she asked Ronald about a suitable candidate.

"Ah, look for Kathryn Turner. The role she played as "Romang the Stone" is pretty much the same as what you said." Ronald replied casually.

"Ah, you are right, she is an acting star who can switch between a glamorous femme fatale and an unattractive homebody novel author." Minahan thought of this beauty, "We will look for her.

"

"The sequel to Breakdancing has been cut. Would you like to give me your opinion?"

Minahan invited Ronald to watch the edited version of "Break Dance Part 2 - Electric Boogaloo". The Israeli film director also shot it very quickly. I heard that Minahan doubled his investment, so he must have shot better than his own.

better.

"Okay, but I won't watch it today until you have an internal preview." Ronald was about to go to a nearby CAA.

"Okay, I'll see you off." Minahan followed Ronald diligently, "The domestic box office of breakdancing will soon exceed 90 million. The popularity brought by the Olympics has made us a lot of money. Your second

A dividend check and you can get a little more."

"Hahaha", Ronald also happily high-fived Minahan to congratulate each other and walked out first.

"Minahem", his cousin Yoram came over, "Have you chosen the heroine of King Solomon's Treasures? We are about to make a decision."

Minahan, who was pulled away, was eager to get away and continue to deepen his relationship with Ronald.

"It's that stone, that actress, do you know? That..." Minahan made a gesture in front of her chest, indicating that the actress's breasts were big. Minahan forgot "romang the stone"

)" title, gesticulating desperately.

Then he hurried off to catch up with Ronald, "Ronald, Ronald, the premiere of the Breakdance sequel..."

"Stone? Big breasts?" Yoram was confused, "Who is Minahan talking about? Do you know? Is there any actress in Hollywood with the last name Stone?"

A group of staff looked at each other, and suddenly one of them remembered the newly released movie he had watched yesterday, and quickly said, "The movie 'Irreconcilable Differences' that was just released was based on director Peter Bogdanovich and his wife

Based on the story of Paulie Platt and her lover Sybil Shepherd.

The actress who played the role of Sybil Shepard was named Stone."

"Oh, she must be very beautiful. Send her an audition invitation. What is her full name?"

"Stone, it seems her name is Sharon Stone."
