Chapter 375 I came to the director to discuss the role
Sunday was off. In the afternoon, Ronald showed a movie to all the staff and actors to let them have some entertainment and relax from the psychological pressure caused by the rush of work during the week.
At noon, many members of the crew went to visit the nearby Castle Hotel. After six days in the sweltering villa without any physical contact with the opposite sex, many staff members and actors were already exhausted.
In the old castle restaurant, they talked loudly, flirted with the waitress, and made vulgar jokes to each other, which made every waiter in the hair-dressed restaurant frown and whisper to everyone not to have too much fun.
Ronald repeatedly asked them to keep their voices down so as not to disturb other diners. Actresses Jennifer Gray and Cynthia Rhodes also helped Ronald to soothe them.
But it was of no use. The young man who had been holding back for a week couldn't stop trying to express himself when he went to a place where there were many young waitresses.
Ronald had to pay a huge tip that was twice the usual standard to prevent the waiter from spitting in the food.
Back at the Mountain Lake Hotel, Ronald quickly put the borrowed copy in the hotel's screening room, allowing these young men and women with no place to vent their passion to find an outlet.
The borrowed copy of "Blue Velvet" has been in theaters for a week in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles, and has just recently been released on a large scale.
I heard that this noir film was well received by film critics. Film critics recognized director David Lynch's directing techniques and believed that he would receive an Oscar nomination for Best Director for this film.
The starring role of the movie is Isabella Rossellini, and Diane Lane's best friend, Laura Dern. Ronald and others were sitting in the dark screening room, waiting to watch the screen
The screen that appears.
The film tells the story of a pair of young boyfriend and girlfriend (Laura Dern plays the girlfriend), who accidentally discovered a villain who used illegal immigration as a threat to detain a beautiful dancer and work as a slave at home.
"vomit……"
Ronald discovered that in the middle of the movie, a staff member had already felt severe discomfort and went out to vomit.
Ronald could only shake his head.
Director David Lynch seems to have a serious mental illness. He always directly shoots the dark side of human nature without any concealment, which makes many people extremely uncomfortable with it.
"Oh, I can't stand it anymore." Ronald stood up and ran away.
Isabella Rossellini is the daughter of Ingrid Bergman and the ex-wife of Marty Scorsese. She can be said to be a friend of mine. Seeing her frontal nudity on the screen, she was treated like a slave.
Throughout the plot, Ronald felt a little uncomfortable.
Although those erotic scenes were very innovative, the scenes of Isabella kneeling on the ground and using her body to please the male protagonist felt very provocative.
David Lynch's bad taste is probably to challenge the audience's moral bottom line. Ronald suddenly felt that this seemingly gentle director had a very dark heart.
Just as Helen Slater was about to arrive, Ronald quickly left the screening room and came to the door of the Mountain Lake Villa. He covered his forehead with his hands and faced the setting sun until he saw the car carrying Helen and stopped at the door of the hotel.
Ronald went up to open the car door himself. Helen, wearing big sunglasses and a white lady's hat, got out of the car and entered the lobby of the resort hotel with Ronald. The two took the elevator to the top floor of the Mountain Lake Villa.
of large suites.
"You can see mountain and lake views here." Ronald opened the window and saw that this room had a first-class view and was one of the most luxurious rooms in the resort.
"It's so hot." Helen was accompanied by an air conditioner all the way here, and the sultry air suddenly blew onto her face. She quickly shrank back and closed the window.
"What, don't you want to go out and see the scenery? I can only accompany you tonight, and I will start shooting again tomorrow."
"I have been to places like this when I was a kid. It was very boring. It would be better to play with the neighbor kids next door who are not Jewish."
Helen grew up in an upscale community on Long Island, New York, where Jews generally mixed with other ethnic groups, so she was not very interested in this kind of Jewish-exclusive resort area.
Moreover, by the time she grew up, her father had become a high-ranking executive in the television station and was separated from the ordinary civilian class, so he did not encounter any discrimination against Jews in his life.
"Then where should we go?" Ronald couldn't think of anything interesting in the resort besides the scenery. He took out a bottle of iced Coke from the refrigerator and handed it to Helen, asking her to sit on the sofa and rest first.
"Don't you miss me?" Helen took off her sunglasses, put down her hat, and sat on the sofa. She just happened to pick up Ronald's belt buckle with her hand. Helen pulled out the t-shirt's hem with her little hand.
Got in.
The hand holding the iced Coke suddenly penetrated Ronald's upper body. His hot body was stimulated by the cold fingers, and goosebumps suddenly appeared.
"Of course I do." Ronald was shocked by the cold, and his mind was completely clear.
I just watched the passionate scene in "Blue Velvet" and saw her sitting there, as if she had surrendered to herself and let you pick and choose. Suddenly, I felt something. I raised Helen's face and kissed her lips fiercely.
Kissed her.
"Oh no……"
Helen didn't expect Ronald's reaction to be so big, and her face suddenly turned red with passion.
Amidst the buzzing noise of the air conditioner, Ronald couldn't wait to pick her up and press her against the wall.
…
"You are so strong today." Helen lay exhausted on the bed and drew circles on Ronald's chest with her hands.
Perhaps because of his Chinese ancestry, Ronald's body hair was not that lush. The smooth skin made Helen feel very sexy. The sticky touch on her fingers made her reminisce about the feeling of being swept up into the sky just now.
"I'm going to take a bath." Helen blushed, jumped out of bed wrapped in a white sheet, and went to the bathroom.
The weather was hot and the humidity was high, and Ronald was sweating all over. He put on ck's shorts and took a bottle of Coke to supplement his sugar.
All physical contact between male and female actors was prohibited, and Ronald was the same. I couldn't bear to watch them dancing ambiguously every day for a long time.
"Ding dong, ding dong..."
Doorbell rang.
"Who is it?" Ronald went to the door barefoot without calling for room service.
"Ronald", outside the door is Cynthia Rhodes. Her fair skin has a hint of red. In the sultry weather, everyone can't help but sweat.
Cynthia's sweat also wetted her white shirt, and her whole body was as beautiful as a hibiscus.
Seeing Ronald's upper body naked and sweating profusely, with only a pair of shorts underneath, Cynthia also shyly lowered her head and looked at her feet.
"What's the matter? Cynthia?"
Ronald did not fully open the door, but spoke to Cynthia through the door.
"Um... I have something to do with the script that I want to talk to you about."
"Can't we tell tomorrow?"
"The filming will begin soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time." Cynthia raised her feet as if to come in.
"What's the problem?" Ronald didn't move and still blocked the door.
"Who is outside?" Helen heard the noise, tilted her head and poked her head out of the bathroom and asked.
"It's Cynthia, my second female lead."
Ronald couldn't hide it, so he simply left the door and put on his T-shirt and loose sweatpants.
Then he opened the door and let in the cramped Cynthia Rhodes.
"This is Helen, she came specially from Los Angeles to see me. This is Cynthia, you should have seen her performance on the screen. I specially asked her to play the second female lead. There is no better actress than her in Hollywood.
Dancer."
Helen also put on silk pajamas and held a towel in one hand to dry her hair.
"You guys chat, I'll order some dinner."
"Tell me, do you think the plot in the script needs to be changed?" Ronald kept the door open and asked Cynthia with a smile.
"Uh...yes, this is here..." Cynthia Rhodes took out her script and pointed to a scene that will be filmed tomorrow.
"Eleanor wrote Penny as a character who sleeps around between dance partners and waiters. But I don't think she is a girl who sleeps around with men for happiness or future.
She is supposed to be a good girl, and she is in love with the waiter who went to college because she loves him, but... she just met a scumbag. So I want to add a scene where Penny faces the baby's accusations.
Sometimes, from the perspective of a poor dancer, she defends herself, saying that she is not the kind of bad woman who sleeps with men everywhere."
"Hmm..." When Ronald heard that men were sleeping everywhere, he raised his eyes and looked at Cynthia.
She seems to have stepped into the role of Penny, and indeed the Penny played by Cynthia is very different from the Irish girl written by Eleanor.
Eleanor wrote about her own feelings. She liked Johnny, the gigolo, but of course she had a tendency to belittle Penny, who was Johnny's dance partner.
And Cynthia, well...
Ronald thought of Cynthia on the set of "So Far", so she didn't give in to Frank Stallone for the sake of her future.
She should have used her own experience to assume the role of Penny. Speaking of which, her understanding of the character seems to have surpassed that of screenwriter Eleanor, who regarded Penny as a tool.
"Okay, what you said makes sense. I'll call Eleanor and have a chat with her." Ronald picked up the phone and was about to call the screenwriter Eleanor.
"Well, it's too late today."
"No, no, don't let me disturb your creation." Helen had already dried her hair with a hair dryer and was listening to Ronald discussing creation. She felt that Ronald, who was focused on his work, was very attractive.
"Yeah, I don't have extra time to discuss it tomorrow. I have to find the location designer David Chapman to come over and build the location for your extra scene."
…
"I think Cynthia's idea is a good one, and I completely agree with it. However, will adding a temporary set slow down the progress of the filming?"
Screenwriter Eleanor accompanied Ronald for a week of filming, and she already understood that when making a movie, the most important thing is to complete each day's scenes according to the schedule.
"I think there's no problem. I can work overtime at night and I'll be in position tomorrow night." David Chapman, the location designer, looked at Ronald's hand-drawn sketch and said that as long as Ronald pays overtime pay, he will
You can bring several technicians from the scenery team to build the required dressing room interior.
"Okay, you sort out all the documents. This is what we have decided." Ronald asked the assistant director Emil to sort out all the drawings and documents, then opened a bottle of Coke and drank the cold one.
Started eating pizza.
"Honey, let me heat it up for you." Helen came over, took the pizza from Ronald's hand, and gave Ronald's hand a playful slap.
"We're leaving first," everyone understood immediately and left one after another.
Ronald sent everyone out the door.
Cynthia Rhodes got her wish and got one more close-up scene. Eleanor adjusted the inappropriate parts of the script and everyone was satisfied.
Especially the exterior design, David Chapman, everyone is very satisfied with his efficiency.
Ronald took him and said privately: "If you are willing in the future, you can sign a long-term contract with Daydream. I will give you a fixed salary and help you pay for medical insurance. You can also go out to take on other projects. But if my company
If there are new films, you must give priority to our company's films."
"Of course, I've wanted to have sex with you for a long time." David Chapman smiled and shook Ronald's hand.
"Come on, open your mouth..." Helen took the warmed pizza and fed it into Ronald's mouth.
"Haha... Well, it's a bit dry." Ronald ate it in his mouth. After the pizza was heated in the microwave, it was very dry and needed Coke.
"Will Cynthia's role cause controversy?" Helen sat down in Ronald's arms. Through a layer of silk pajamas, Ronald could feel Helen's amazing elasticity.
Ronald understood what Helen meant.
After the President came to power, the value orientation of the entire America has been rapidly turning to the right in the past few years. The President himself has repeatedly appealed to Hollywood on TV not to show more violent and passionate content.
As for the character Penny, she became pregnant after being played by a man, and borrowed money from the baby for surgery, which led to her father, Mr. Houseman, misunderstanding the male protagonist Johnny.
Mr. Hausman thought that Johnny got Penny pregnant and was irresponsible. He had no idea that it was the unlucky man who he favored and helped to get into Yale.
"What do you think? Do you support Penny's approach?" Ronald hooked Helen up in his arms.
"I support Roe v. Wade. It is a great victory for all women in America. We should have the right to make decisions about our own bodies." Helen expressed her love for this plot without hesitation.
"But, well, I heard from my father Gerald that recently the MPAA ratings have begun to tighten again. In order to get a PG rating, their TV station had to delete a lot of ambiguous scenes."
"It's okay, I have a way to deal with it." Ronald put the dry pizza aside. The method he used to deal with the dissatisfaction and pressure of the Jewish boss in the plot can also be used in the plot of the pregnancy surgery.
"Let's go to the restaurant to eat something. I'm hungry and the pizza doesn't taste good anymore."
"Yeah, but I can't eat too much red meat..." Helen got up, changed into a T-shirt and denim shorts, and walked to the resort's restaurant with Ronald.
