"Is this what Akira Kurosawa wrote for you?" Agent Niceta came to Ronald's apartment and watched as Ronald hung the banner in Kurosawa's handwriting and framed by a master in Los Angeles Chinatown in the living room.
on the wall.
"Yes, it means hard work in Chinese." Ronald asked Niceta to see if the left and right sides were even, and then jumped off the stool.
Diane got paid for the advertisement, and not long after staying in Los Angeles, she went to various places to promote with the "Cotton Club" crew. In addition to various places in America, she also went to Europe, especially China, for marketing. Coppola has not given up yet.
Efforts to make this big production return its money at the box office.
Inspired by Coppola, Diane also wanted to give it another try. If she could become famous in Europe, she could also continue her career as an A-star actor. There are many actors who became famous at European film festivals and then returned to Hollywood.
, such as Jacqueline Bisset in her early years.
Ronald, who is single again, spends these days with retired Navy Captain Pete Pettigrew, designing the flight movements of the F-14A Tomcat.
Ronald flew in the F5 fighter of the Blue Angels aerobatic team. From his experience in the sky, he designed a fighter jet to leave the aircraft carrier, and then shot footage of the aircraft carrier from the tail fin of the fighter jet.
Taken from a fighter jet that rolled 360 degrees, the aircraft carrier slowly moving on the sea seemed to have also turned over. This was Ronald's intuitive feeling in the cockpit of the Blue Angel. The blue sky and the sea surface were in harmony.
The pilot's eyes turned upside down.
He wanted moviegoers to actually feel what he felt like in the cockpit.
But Pettigrew told him that the Blue Angels' F5 could do it, but the F-14 Tomcat couldn't. The F-14 Tomcat is a large fighter with twin engines and twin vertical tails. This kind of aircraft has two vertical tails.
The tail wing, so the directionality of the nose is much stronger than the roll ability of the fuselage.
After taking off and leaving the aircraft carrier, if the lever makes a roll, it is very likely that the nose of the aircraft is pointing in the direction of the lever, rather than the fuselage rolling rapidly. To make the action he wants, an ace pilot is needed to fly successfully.
.
Ronald benefited a lot from the communication with the flight instructor. He and Pettigrew improved many of the aircraft's flight shots. Grumman's engineers, directors and flight instructors formed a three-person team, and gradually Ronald
De's vision can actually be photographed.
"Ally Xidi is also a client of CAA this time. I hope you can favor her a little during the audition."
Niceta is here to implement the packaging project. In addition to Ronald and Tom Cruise, he also wants to stuff some supporting characters into the movie.
"Of course, she was my and the two producers' first choice."
Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer later came to Ronald's apartment, bringing with them audition photos of several of their favorite candidates to play the pilot.
"This is Val Kilmer, this is Anthony Edwards, this is Emilio Estevez, this is Tim Robbins." Bruckheimer placed photos of several young actors on the table
Upper swing.
"They are all full of hormones." Ronald noticed their square chins, "It's just that Emilio is a bit hunched, which is not suitable for the role of a pilot."
"I don't plan to do large-scale auditions. The three of us will find suitable candidates first and then invite auditions." Don Simpson made a sniffing gesture.
"Don, you know my rules, don't bring these things to my house." Ronald hated this habit of his and couldn't help but objected.
"Okay, okay, I know you keep your integrity, so I won't be in front of you anymore." Don Simpson said and walked out of the apartment.
Bruckheimer also shrugged. His partner's behavior also made him uncomfortable, but America is a free country, and even as a good partner, he couldn't meddle in Simpson's business.
"Ally Xidi will come to the studio for an audition tomorrow. Let's have her put on the uniform first. I have a feeling that she is the person we are looking for." Bruckheimer said about tomorrow's audition for the heroine.
"St. Elmo's Fire" directed by Joe Schumacher and written by Cameron Crowe has been filmed and packed, and several leading actors have been vacated.
Ronald and the two producers first chose Ally Sheedy, and Ronald felt that Demi Moore was also suitable for the role of Charlie, the flight instructor.
"St. Elmo's Fire" filming has ended, and the two leading ladies, Ally Sheedy and Demi Moore, can audition.
…
"Very good, we need the feeling of a working girl."
In the studio of the two producers, Ali Sheidi put on a uniform, big red lips, sexy black stockings, high heels and a one-step skirt, and twisted in front of the camera.
show yourself.
With shoulder-length short hair and soft facial features that are very standard for white beauties, Ali Xidi's sexiness reveals a hint of intellectual beauty.
In "St. Elmo's Fire", she played the role of a working girl. Now she has been slightly adjusted to a more mature look. Ally Sheedy plays it very naturally.
"When can I get the complete script of the movie?" After finishing the audition, Ally Sheedy came over and asked Ronald, who was familiar with her.
"The complete script is still being revised and will be submitted to the Navy and Paramount for review." Ronald gave an outline of the story, and then gave a shortened version that only related to the part related to Charlie played by Ali Sheedy.
Tell her the story.
"Doesn't it just... look like a big music video?" Ali Xidi hurriedly turned over the script and said to Ronald in confusion.
"It's okay to put it this way. This is originally a western movie with fighter jets dueling, good guys, bad guys, heroes, and beauties."
"Oh...", Ali Xidi took the script and left.
…
Two days later, Ally Sheedy officially rejected the invitation from the "Top Gun" crew, stating that she was unwilling to play Charlie in the film due to time conflicts.
"Her agent is from CAA. Please help me make an appointment with her, and I will chat with her in person." Ronald was a little surprised when he was rejected.
Although Ally Sheedy has starred in two teen movies in a row, "The Breakfast Club" and "St. Elmo's Fire" have not yet been released. It is said that she does not have enough capital to refuse Paramount 1,500.
The heroine of a million dollar production.
"Don't be like this, Ronald, we should find another actress to audition. I heard some rumors that Ali Xidi is biased against you. This Bichi will probably not join the crew." Nicita had not seen her for a day, and she had already
Ellie was demoted from a rising star to a bitch.
"What prejudice?" Ronald was confused.
"Ellie went to Emilio Estevez specifically for consultation. Emilio comes from a family of actors and is very prestigious among the young actors. I also heard what Ellie's agent told me.
"Nisita quietly revealed the middle of the story to Ronald.
Emilio Estevez was very dissatisfied with Ronald, who was also a young man. He believed that Ronald was just lucky and knew nothing about the performing arts and could only make shallow exploitation films.
His views influenced Ally Sheedy, who was pursuing an acting career, and made her think about taking on a movie like "Top Gun" where there were no acting requirements, as long as she showed up beautifully and became a vase.
More importantly, Emilio Estevez told Ellie a fact:
It has been 40 years since anyone in Hollywood made a movie about fighter jet combat, so it is very likely that this movie will fail at the box office.
In addition, Emilio was also jealous of Tom Cruise's popularity and said a lot of bad things about Tom, such as that he couldn't read scripts, might not be literate, etc.
Ally Sheedy knew that Emilio and Tom Cruise had starred in "The Kid" and did not doubt his statement. She told her agent:
"No one will watch a big music video with Tom Cruise flying a plane in the sky. I don't want to accompany him in a 120-minute music video."
"If she is really not interested, she can just refuse the audition. Why does she still come to the audition and say such things after she comes? Even if she has opinions, can't she communicate with me first?"
Ronald was very angry. This Emilio always liked to stir up trouble about himself behind others' backs. Didn't he just beat him in table tennis on the set and then stopped him from pranking Diane? As for that?
"He feels that you have taken away everything that originally belonged to him, being successful as a young man, writing his own screenplay, directing his own movies, and dating Diane Lane, a teenage idol." Niceta saw it more accurately, "This Martin Sheen's
The eldest son has very high expectations for himself."
"shxt! How could anyone have such an idea?" Ronald felt uncomfortable, "Then let's try it with Demi Moore."
"Haha, isn't she Emilio's..." Niceta hesitated.
"What's wrong with her? She looks good in uniform...well...I mean her body is suitable for wearing uniform...I mean...her husky voice suits her better."
Demi Moore came to the studio to audition behind the back of her boyfriend Emilio Estevez.
"Very good, please make an appearance facing the camera, facing sideways, and with your back to the camera." Ronald directed Demi to perform three appearances.
"This office girl uniform suits you perfectly, Demi," Ronald said from behind the camera.
"Thank you, is that okay? If you need anything else from me, you can ask me." Demi Moore licked her lips with her tongue, her husky voice was very sexy.
Ronald exchanged opinions with the two producers, "Charlie's identity in our script has not been finalized yet. If it is convenient for you, it would be better if you could try on this navy uniform."
"No problem." After a while, Demi came out of the dressing room, wearing a dark blue navy uniform and a white navy hat, which highlighted her very good figure. She posed for the camera lens again.
When her back was turned to the camera, Demi raised her buttocks intentionally or unintentionally. Under the skirt of her navy dress, she wore black stockings with a high heel. The black silk stockings started from the heels and went straight into the skirt from the middle seam at the back of the legs, as if
Sending a seductive signal to the audience.
"Is this okay for me?" A hoarse voice came from Demi, and Ronald and the two producers both changed their legs and crossed their knees.
Apparently, Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer were also very pleased with her.
"Very good, Demi. We will notify your agent when we have the result. Then we will let you audition with the male lead candidate to see the chemical reaction."
Ronald received a signal of agreement from the two producers and turned to Demi.
"Plop..." Demi seemed to be overly excited and threw herself on the ground.
"Demi, Demi..." Ronald stepped forward and patted her face.
Oops!
Ronald was so startled that he was foaming at the mouth.
He remembered that Demi had fainted like this in her apartment. This was an allergic reaction caused by a hereditary kidney problem.
"Call 911," Ronald told Bruckheimer.
"Did duk didu..." The ambulance carried Demi Moore to the hospital, and Ronald followed and got into the car.
"I think she seems to be..." Don Simpson said to his partner Bruckheimer.
"That's not okay. If an actor does this on the set, we will have a big problem." Bruckheimer knew very well that it is one thing to work with a producer. If this happens to the main actor, the film will be invalid.
No one can afford the cost of reshooting.
"I remember you promised me not to touch these things that are harmful to the body."
At the bedside, Ronald scolded Demi when she woke up.
"I..." Demi didn't expect Ronald to speak coldly, "Isn't this the case in Hollywood? Don Simpson, the producer of your movie, remember? Isn't he just like me?"
"So I won't let Simpson appear on the set and disrupt the rules of the set." Ronald added, "The same goes for anyone."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Demi cried regretfully, "I'm sorry, Ronald. I got addicted when I was filming a movie in Brazil. I want to change now. Can you give me a chance?"
"I can help you. If you really want to quit, I know an alcohol rehab center that can help you quit completely in three months." Ronald told Demi Moore the plan discussed with her agent.
Ronald admired Demi Moore's appearance, acting skills, and motivation, so he spent thousands of dollars to book her a three-month treatment in an alcohol rehab center. However, Demi would not be able to catch up with "Top Gun"
" was filmed.
"Thank you!" Demi buried her head on Ronald's shoulder, "I envy your girlfriend very much. She has someone who cares about her like you..."
"Hey, I just don't want to see a talented actress like you being ruined. The money you spent to go to the alcohol rehab center will be paid back to me when you make money." Ronald looked at Demi.
"Of course, how do you want me to return it?" Demi licked her lips again.
"You go to an alcohol rehab center first and make a complete recovery." Ronald saw that she was completely sober, turned to leave, and motioned to Demi's manager outside the door to come in.
As soon as he turned around, Ronald found that his hand was still tightly grasped by Demi.
"What's wrong?"
"I beg you one thing, Ronald. Don't tell Emilio Estevez about me."
"What about you?" Ronald looked at her lying in the hospital wearing a hospital gown.
"Emilio is an idiot. I can easily make him believe any story. This idiot who overestimates his abilities actually persuaded Allie Xiti not to star in your movie. But thanks to him, if it weren't for my body
If something goes wrong, will this role belong to me?"
Demi Moore's eyes shone and she stared at Ronald closely.
"It also depends on your chemistry with Tom Cruise. You are not without competition. Tom wants to recommend his girlfriend."
Ronald gently put Demi's hand into the quilt, "But you do have a good chance. We need a mature-minded actress."
"Well..." Demi leaned back on the pillow, "I won't give up. I will definitely be your heroine next time."
