Chapter 28 The right to say the script

"I signed up for this flight school and Paula said it was the best. In three months, I can get my private small plane pilot's license."

Tom Cruise is really fascinated by flying and has signed up for the best flight school in Los Angeles to take private jet training.

"Don't get too excited. If you want to fly a jet, you still need to accumulate flight time. When the movie starts shooting, you will at most get a student license." Ronald found Crewe at an airport outside Los Angeles.

Si, the two chatted about the development of the script.

Tom Cruise's agent, Paula, secured for him the right to comment on the script. This is usually a privilege reserved for big stars, but since Cruise has a friend like Ronald as the director, it's just a nominal one. First of all,

Obtaining this power in one step will help him improve his status in the industry.

Ronald found Cruise in flight school who had just gotten off the plane and read him the newly formed script.

"The development of your character is very good. You start out as an F-14 pilot with the call sign "Maverick". You and another pilot with the call sign "Jaguar" are wingmen. Fighting against Cuban pilots in the Caribbean

When flying a MiG-21 aircraft, the "Jaguar" was locked in a dogfight.

The Lone Ranger used attack lock to scare away the Cuban MiG-21, but when the "Jaguar" was targeted, he was too stressed, induced flight vertigo, and could not distinguish between the sky and the sea. In the end, you helped him on the aircraft carrier

landing.

The fleet commander had two places to go to top gun schools. The radar officer of the Mavericks wanted to stay on the aircraft carrier, so the Mavericks went to flight school with the radar officer of the Jaguar, "Goose."

"It's a great beginning." Tom Cruise was very happy after listening to Ronald read the beginning of the script. "I like the character of this character very much, it's a bit like me."

"Hahaha", Ronald was very happy. The Lone Ranger did refer to some of Tom's own character traits, which would help the actor's performance.

"I have an idea, can I give the Lone Ranger a solo appearance, so that he can leave a deep impression on the audience at the beginning of the movie."

"Yes, listen to the next paragraph." Ronald began to read the script again. The Lone Ranger drove a sports car to the Nevada desert where Top Gun Flight School is located. He was speeding on the road leading to the school. The highway patrol stopped him.

The patrolman asked the Lone Ranger for his ID, and the Lone Ranger gave him a Navy pilot's ID. The patrolman was in awe after seeing it and asked him if he knew how fast he was driving.

The Lone Ranger said, "I thought it was Mach 1.5."

"1.5 times the speed of sound?", the traffic policeman's smile began to appear.

"Yes."

"What plane do you fly?"

"f14."

"Tomcat?"

"Yes."

"What? Did the Suville Union call? Are you so anxious?" the highway patrolman collected the fine.

"No, but we must be prepared at any time."

The Highway Patrol then drove to escort the Lone Ranger to the base.

"At the gate of the base, the Lone Ranger met for the first time his biggest competitor in Top Gun School, the pilot Ice Man. Ice Man smiled and said to his radar officer, patrol escort, this kid is a troublemaker

.”

"Ronald, I have an idea." Tom Cruise heard this and began to put forward his own opinions. "For the character of the Lone Ranger, he should be equipped with the fastest sports car on land, preferably red."

Ferrari.”

"Yeah, don't you just want to drive my Ferrari GTO? Let the crew transport it to Nevada then, but you have to promise me that you must take good care of it."

"No problem! That's the fastest sports car on land."

The two finished reading the script in the airport lounge. Tom Cruise looked at his watch and said, "I'm almost late. I have to visit Rebecca on the set of 'The Baseball Player's Wife'."

Ronald smiled, Tom was very attached to his girlfriend, who was several years older than him, and he wanted both of them to get together if there was a chance.

"If you keep hanging out with Rebecca, won't she bother you?"

"You don't understand, Ronnie. We actors are often separated, so we just want to find opportunities to be together. And there is an intimate scene in this movie, which will be shot tonight. I have to go to the set to keep a close eye on it."

"If I were a director, I would be disgusted with you being like this. How can an actor perform when his boyfriend and girlfriend are watching?"

"Don't be so harsh, I don't believe it. Aren't you also worried about Helen Slater's filming on the set of 'The Legend of Billie King'? I heard there are a lot of nudity scenes, so why don't you go visit the cast?" Tom put it on.

The flight jacket given by the Navy, he got into the nanny car that Paula came to pick him up, and said "goodbye".

"Why did Billy King have a nudity scene? I personally reviewed the script." Ronald slapped a hand on the script in his hand, and then waved goodbye to Paula.

"Hey, Rick? Are there any nudity scenes in The Legend of Billy King?" Ronald thought about it more and more after driving home. The script didn't necessarily count. When he was filming, he would also include nudity scenes.

The tone of some parts is lowered in the script, and it will depend on the condition of the actress during actual shooting to determine how big the scale can be.

"Why don't you go visit the class and have a look? You should be more experienced in this kind of problem than me. Why, do you still have feelings for Helen?"

"Ahem... I just feel that since Gerald entrusted Helen to me, I must be responsible for the script he introduced."

"Okay, I'll say hello to producer Gubel and ask Richard to accompany you to Texas for a visit."

Taking Richard and Little Bud with him, Ronald came to Corpus Christi, Texas, to visit the crew of "The Legend of Billy King."

This small town with a permanent population of more than 200,000 people on the Gulf of Mexico is the famous kite capital of America. Because the wind speed is strong throughout the year, many people fly kites, paragliders, and paragliders here.

surf.

The crew was filming an outdoor scene by a lake in a suburb. In the opening scene of the movie, Helen plays Billy King. There are some deliberately set shots to impress the audience deeply.

Ronald took little Bud and Richard to greet the producer and went nearby to watch the filming.

Up to this point in the filming, Helen is still dressed with long blond hair. After all the first half of the scenes are filmed, Helen will cut her long blond hair short and change it into a boyish hairstyle, becoming a modern Joan of Arc.

Representing women and lower class people.

"action!"

The director called the command and started shooting on location.

Ronald was outside the cordon and saw the entire filming scene.

On a large elevator, the director and the director of photography were sitting together, preparing to shoot a shot from top to bottom, from far to near.

Ronald knew at a glance that director Matthew Robbins was indeed a classmate of Lucas and Walter Murch. This complex scheduling allowed the audience to understand the story at once from the distant town scene.

background, then pan to Helen nearby, and quickly enter the story.

A few seconds of footage allows the audience to forget the troubles in life and immerse themselves in the story. He is worthy of the golden generation of the University of Southern California.

Billie King, played by Helen, is sorting the clothes in the laundry basket. In the plot, she and her brother depend on each other, and as the older sister, she is responsible for the housework.

"Didi..." There was a wooden fence beside the pool where the clothes were washed by hand, and two motorcycle horns came through the fence.

She took out the freshly collected clean clothes from the laundry basket, took off her denim vest, and said to the motorcycle behind the fence, "I'll be right there."

Ronald raised his hand and wanted to shout "cut!", but his remaining sense made him open his mouth without making a sound. He clearly saw that Helen Slater's back was completely naked, except for a denim vest that she had just taken off.

Cover your chest.

"Didn't we agree that there will be no nudity scenes?" Ronald was indignant. Why does modern Joan of Arc still need to take off her clothes?

"Cut!" the director stopped, "Helen, you are great, let's do it again."

"Okay..." Helen put a denim vest on her body, "Was my emotion in place just now?"

"Pfft..." A short actor with messy blond hair next to Ronald laughed.

"Helen is always so cute, but this scene doesn't require any acting skills," the short actor laughed and took the initiative to chat with Ronald.

"Are you the actor who plays the bad guy? Hello, my name is Christian Slater."

"Ah...oh", Ronald came back to his senses, are you a relative of Helen?

"No, no... we just happen to have the same last name. I play Helen's brother Binx. It's a very good coincidence. I think Helen is my destined wife. If I marry him, she won't even use her last name.

changed."

Ronald didn't know why, but a surge of anger arose in his chest, causing him to glare at Christian Slater.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Are you the only one who still wants to marry Helen?" Little Bud looked angry and went up to push Christian away.

When he was working in Aunt Karen's leg warmer store, he met Helen several times and knew that she had a relationship with Ronald.

"Who the hell are you? What qualifications do you have to interfere with my affairs?" Christian became angry.

"Ronnie, why are you here?" Helen heard the movement here, turned around and saw that it was Ronald, and ran over happily.

"And you, little Bud, long time no see. I heard you went to serve in the Marine Corps?"

"Okay, let's take a ten-minute break." The director reluctantly stopped and got off the elevator to announce the pause.

"This is Christian. His surname is Slater like mine. Isn't it a coincidence?" Helen lost weight again, and her denim vest hung loosely on her body. "I always felt that he was really my brother."

"Hi, Ronald, thank you for coming to the set." Director Matthew came over and shook hands with Ronald to say thank you. He was able to become a director for the first time only because Ronald gave up this opportunity.

"Do you have any opinions on the filming? Or the script? I am very open to your opinions." During the filming process, Matthew received a lot of pressure from Guber. This time Guber specifically mentioned Rona.

De wants to come to visit the class, and I don't dare to take it lightly.

"You are the director. I just came to check on Helen's class. Her father, Gerald, is very concerned about her performance and asked me to take a look."

"Hug, sorry..." Christian stammered, saying sorry to Ronald, and walked away quickly.

"Just in time, after I finish filming, I have to cut my hair short. Can you accompany me?" Helen heard that Ronald came according to his father's instructions. She blinked at Ronald with her big eyes, as if she had seen through Ronald.

De's inner thoughts.

"Well, I don't have anywhere to go here anyway."

"cut!"

After a whole day of outdoor shooting, Helen went to the hairstylist and got a boyish haircut.

"Would it look good if I cut my hair short?"

Surprisingly, Ronald felt that short hair also made Helen very handsome, and he looked like a handsome young man even if he didn't pay attention.

He couldn't help but touch it, and his hair was a little prickly.

"Hehe..." Helen held Ronald's arm, "Are you jealous just now? Ronnie?"

"I...? I didn't, I'm not..."

"Don't lie to me. Gerald just called me yesterday to discuss the plot. He didn't mention your coming at all. If he had told you, he would definitely tell me."

"No, there are no revealing scenes in your script? Why is the back completely naked? Even this dress..." Ronald changed the subject and pointed to Helen's dress.

"What? Do you also want to fulfill your right to suggest scripts?" Helen looked at Ronald and smiled.

"Me? How do you know I can't? I asked the director to delete all the nudity scenes. If he didn't agree, I went to Gubel."

"No", Helen took Ronald's hand.

"You don't know how difficult it is to get this role now that my first Supergirl movie hasn't been released yet. You can't say that to the director. Besides, Gerald has already talked to the director. I won't be fully frontal."

The lens is ready, don’t worry.”

"Ronnie, I'm glad you came to see me." Helen grabbed Ronald's arm tightly, and the two looked at each other for a moment. The setting sun stretched their shadows very long.
