Ronald thought to himself that although the opening of the movie also started with a song, the script of "The Bride and the Wolf" stated that Pavarotti's famous aria from Puccini's opera "La Bohème" should be used.
"Your Cold Little Hands" opens.
The plot continued. An actor whom Ronald knew, Tom Cruise's girlfriend Cher, played the role of an old lady. She had gray hair, wore conservative and boring clothes, and was an accountant working for other small businesses.
People do the accounting.
"It looks like it's still the Bride and the Wolf, but the opening song has changed." The following plot is similar to the script I just read.
Ronald watched Cher's performance, and it turned out that he chose her as the protagonist, which was very interesting. Although Cher is now close to forty, she is very trendy and very charming. But the makeup in this movie has already
She obviously looks old. I don’t know how such a young and beautiful girl agreed to wear old makeup.
Cher plays Loretta Castorini, an Italian widowed woman. She is having dinner with her boyfriend John Camarelli in a restaurant. A middle-aged man who is dining wants to propose to his young girlfriend, but is blocked by her.
Dump him first.
As a result, Loretta's boyfriend John also wanted to take this opportunity to propose to Loretta, but Loretta didn't like it because he didn't prepare a ring. Her boyfriend John proposed with an ordinary ring of his own, and Loretta didn't like it.
Ta agreed.
The fiancé went to his hometown in Palermo, Italy, to see his seriously ill mother, and finally asked Loretta to invite his brother, whom he had not seen for a long time. Because of his brother, the brother lost a hand, and the two brothers had not spoken for a long time.
He wants his fiancée Loretta to invite him.
As soon as his brother Ronny Camarelli, who worked in the bakery, appeared in the camera, Ronald laughed. It turned out that the actor was Coppola's nephew, Nicolas Cage.
When he was filming "Peggy Sue Is Getting Married," he almost fell out with the heroine Katherine Turner because he insisted on using the acting method in the German Expressionist film "Metropolis." Turner even threatened to leave him without me.
Exit the crew.
In the end, it was Ronald who went to the crew to mediate and asked Cage to restrain himself, so that the film that Coppola wanted to use to completely pay off debts and turn around could continue to be filmed.
However, in this dream movie, Cage still has the same expressionistic acting style. The line "My hand fell off! My hand fell off!" and his indignant look are almost imitations.
Old German movies, the body language of silent movies like "Metropolis".
However, in this movie with an unrestrained and even bizarre plot, Nicolas Cage's acting is really suitable.
"Ronnie, what are you laughing at?" Diane was awakened by Ronald's laughter. She raised her head in confusion and saw the moonlight entering the room. She rubbed her eyes and saw Ronald clearly through the moonlight.
The smile on the face.
"..." Diane looked at Ronald carefully for a while, and he was indeed smiling. She also showed a smile that came from her heart. This was because Ronny had himself in his heart.
I heard people say that when people are asleep, their true thoughts are revealed.
"Oh, Ronnie... Oh, Ronnie..." Diane touched Ronald's face, then hugged Ronald's head, kissed him gently on the face, and put his head on his
On the chest, continue to sleep.
"Oh, Ronnie, what about John?" In the dream, Ronald looked at Cher's Loretta and Cage's Ronnie.
The two were negotiating in the room on the second floor of the bakery, and Loretta also fried steak for her fiancé's brother. Maybe it was the sultry moonlight that suddenly touched the heartstrings of the two of them, and Ronnie hugged her.
Loretta, go to the bed in the back bedroom.
"I'm angry at him, my hand fell off, and a beautiful woman like you wants to marry him." Cage was roaring like a wild beast.
"Come on, come on, love me, Ronnie. Vent your dissatisfaction with John on me, so that he can only marry a shell of me." Cher held Cage's head, and the two acted
Very devoted.
"Well..." Ronald felt his head being held in a daze, "This performance is very good, I have synesthesia."
"I will marry your brother. Nothing happened last night, you hear? Last night never happened."
Early the next morning, Loretta realized that she might have seen the big and bright moon last night, and she went to bed with Ronnie in a moment of confusion.
So as soon as I got up, I made a promise to my fiancé's brother Ronnie not to mention what happened last night.
"I can not do it."
"Why?"
"Because I'm in love with you."
"Bang!" Loretta, played by Cher, slapped Ronnie in the face.
"Pah!" Seeing Ronnie still looking at her affectionately, Loretta slapped her again, "Wake up!"
"Well, this part was well acted." Ronald felt as if someone was touching his face.
In order to get rid of Ronnie's entanglement, Loretta decided to agree to Ronnie's request and go to the opera "La Boheme" with him tomorrow night.
For some unknown reason, Loretta regained the enthusiasm she had after her husband died in an accidental car accident after the night when the moon caused trouble. She went to the hair salon and gave herself a wavy perm, a beauty treatment, and dyed her hair.
nail.
"Oh, this is Cher's true beauty, the woman who made Tom Cruise obsessed with her." Ronald watched this makeover scene and exclaimed. It was really well edited.
In movies about romantic love, one of the men and women usually awakens the power of love and transforms from an ugly duckling into a white swan, making them more worthy of the other person who has superior conditions.
However, this kind of plot usually happens in teen movies. Ronald had the idea of making a movie with this kind of makeover plot as the core story, but it was snatched away by John Hughes.
"Pretty in Pink" came out.
It's just that because the roles of men and women are reversed, American audiences prefer to see the good-looking men and talented women. Generally, they like the women's makeovers. The box office of Pretty in Pink is average.
It was used very correctly in this movie, allowing Loretta to transform into a sexy goddess with a superb temperament.
It seems that the love scenes of middle-aged people are no different from the love scenes of teenagers. Ronald's confidence has greatly increased.
While Loretta was watching the opera, she discovered that her father and her lover were also having a tryst at the opera house. The two agreed not to tell their partners.
However, Loretta's mother Rose, as an Italian woman, had known everything for a long time, and she went out unwillingly. In the restaurant, her mother Rose met the man who proposed in the restaurant but was dumped by his girlfriend.
The two chatted happily. The man was a university professor and was tired of the shallowness of young girls. He wanted to invite Rose to continue dating.
Ross kept the bottom line and did not cheat. When he got home, he couldn't understand why a man wanted to find a woman.
“Why do men look for women?”
“Why do men look for women?”
Rose asked this question to many people, but none of the answers satisfied her. Finally, her husband gave her a satisfactory answer, "Because men are afraid of death."
Ronald was horrified. Do men look for women because they are afraid of death?
He woke up suddenly, gently let go of Diane's hand that was holding him, then got out of bed and walked to the table by the window to get a cup of water to drink.
A bright moon is slanting in the sky. It seems that the moon is very big today, and the moonlight is also very emotional.
Maybe that’s true!
Men are afraid of death, so they want to try their best to create some success to leave something behind, and then use their success to conquer women in order to obtain peace of mind on such a night.
Ronald looked back at Diane under the moonlight. He still had to try his best to find a good role for her, otherwise what's the point of a man conquering a woman? Isn't it just to let the woman he loves do what makes him happy?
…
"Have you decided?" Early the next morning, Niceta saw an energetic Ronald in the hotel's breakfast room and asked him the result of his thinking last night.
Ronald was puffing up his cheeks and eating baked beans, bacon, and Japanese soft bread. The Japanese people studied the West very thoroughly, and the Western breakfast in the hotel was very decent, and the bread also had a different flavor and was even more delicious.
"I decided to buy the movie script and then find a distributor and investors." Ronald destroyed another sausage.
"But this is a middle-aged man... forget it, you know what you are doing anyway." Niceta stopped trying to persuade him. Ronald had just made two blockbuster movies in a row, and now he was very confident in art, and he was not
Doesn't know any more than Ronald.
Agents are not there to pour cold water on clients when their creative enthusiasm is high, but to solve problems when they encounter difficulties.
"By the way, I plan to cast Cher as the heroine. What do you think?" Ronald raised his hand, asked the waiter to come over, and sent another breakfast to the room for Diane who was still sleeping.
"Well, it's a good idea." Niceta felt that the role was very suitable for Cher, and the relationship between Tom Cruise and Cher was not favored by both the agency teams. Let her come to Ronald's place to film the movie and continue to live apart.
Between the two places, maybe the two of them will cool down.
"You think that's good too?" Ronald wiped his mouth, asked the waiter to bring him a telephone, and asked the front desk to make a long-distance call across the ocean.
"David? I'm Ronald. I have decided to buy this script. You discuss with John Patrick Shanley's agent. I will first buy a one-year option on his script. When I come back, I will discuss it with him.
Interview.”
"Okay, you won't be disappointed." David Simkins was very happy, hung up the phone and went to make hurried arrangements.
"The next stop is Xiangjiang. The box office here in Japan accounts for 5% of the world's box office market. Although the proportion in Xiangjiang is smaller, it seems that the film industry there is more developed than Japan?" Ronald
After making the call, come back and ask Niceta.
"Yes, our statistics are the same. Korea, India, and... all have market access policies. A Hollywood movie can only sell a dozen copies to reach a market of tens of millions of people. Although it is popular, audiences queue up
Watching long-term screenings is very detrimental to our rapid accumulation of celebrity fame.
Although there is a language barrier in Xiangjiang, it still has a good market environment in comparison.”
"I heard that there is the Hollywood of the East, and I would like to meet the filmmakers there if I have the opportunity." Ronald thought of the filmmakers he met in Xujiahui, and they had a great conversation, and he also wanted to meet the people there. "
"No problem, I'll ask someone to make arrangements."
