"This is Miss Demi Moore. This is Ms. Darcy Maguire, the creative director. This is Mr. Mellett, the marketing director of Coca-Cola."
The next day, Ronald brought Demi Moore for an interview. Coca-Cola director Mellett happened to have watched Demi Moore's movie "St. Elmo's Fire" and had an early impression of Demi. This time
The interview went very well.
Demi wore a black dress similar to yesterday, and had her hair styled by a professional hairstylist like Vivien Leigh in "Gone with the Wind." She did her homework and knew that Coca-Cola's headquarters is located in
Atlanta, where the story of "Gone with the Wind" takes place.
As a marketing director, interviewing female celebrities is one of their few privileges. Demi knows how to impress these old men, and she used every trick to make Melite very satisfied with her.
"Ronald, what do you think? Does Miss Demi have the right temperament to play this role?"
"There is no doubt that you have a great eye, Mr. Mellett. I am considering whether I should hire you as my casting director."
"Hahaha, you know, Ronald, when I graduated from college, I worked as a casting assistant in Hollywood for a while."
"No wonder, I just said that you read people very accurately."
Ronald's flattery made Coca-Cola's marketing director Melite happy. Demi Moore sincerely watched him express his artistic opinions on the advertisement, with just the right amount of appreciation and enlightenment, which made Melite happy.
I almost feel like I am a Hollywood director.
Ronald looked at Demi's acting skills and was really impressed. Compared with when she first entered the industry, she was much smoother.
Demi seemed to have noticed Ronald's eyes. When Melite wasn't paying attention, she looked at Ronald with a charming look. She raised her mouth and made a "thank you" mouth shape. Her white teeth were paired with red
The lipstick made Ronald excited.
Ronald looked at Demi wrapped in the black skirt and coat, and couldn't help but think of the scenes of "getting acquainted with Demi again" yesterday. Actresses are always full of enthusiasm, and their performances will also make you
I couldn't help but feel that I was truly and deeply loved.
The gentle touch, passionate eyes, snow-white skin and black stockings were intertwined in the picture. Ronald couldn't help but be aroused again and began to lose focus.
If you read any further, the secret will be exposed. Ronald picked up a magazine and put it on his waist, while holding a cup of Coke in his other hand to cover it up.
"I'm going to see what's going on on the other side." Seeing that something was not going well, Ronald said hello to Darcy Maguire and slipped to the other side to see the male version of the advertisement.
…
"Is there any difference between filming a TV series and filming a movie?" Diane had already arrived and was talking to a comedy star with a high career path.
"Actually, movies give you more opportunities. For TV dramas, you just want to shoot as many shots as possible on the day of filming. TV directors rarely give you a second chance." The answer to her question was "Blue Moonlight"
The leading actor is Bruce Willis. He has just filmed his first movie "Blind Date", starring with porn star Kim Basinger.
Since 1985, TV stars have attempted movie projects one after another, with successes and failures. "Ghostbusters" and "Back to the Future" are examples of great success. There are also failures like TV comedy star Bill Cosby.
Lost tens of millions of dollars.
"Diane", Ronald went over to greet Diane Lane, and the two hugged and kissed.
"Mr. Willis."
"Call me Bruce", this comedy star has a very unique style, and he often tilts the corner of his mouth to reveal a smile when he speaks.
"Okay, Bruce. You can call me Ronald."
The two shook hands tightly. Ronald saw that Bruce Willis seemed to want to try his hand, so he also exerted a little force, and the two were even.
"I like your movies very much. Is there any chance that I can act in your movie?" After Ronald let go, Bruce Willis hugged him enthusiastically and started talking to Ronald in a familiar manner.
A joke.
"Everything is possible. I just heard that you are going to get into movies now?" Ronald recognized Bruce Willis as the leading actor in the literary film he dreamed about on the plane to Cannes. He
You may want to make award-winning movies, but that may not be the right path for you.
"Yeah, I know. Everyone said that I already have a TV series with good ratings, so it's not worth the risk to act in a movie. But I just really want to act in a movie. The movie 'Blind Date' made me feel that only
Movies are the performing art that suits me best."
"I don't think anyone can deny this. I also think you have great potential in acting in movies."
"Oh yeah, really? You're not just perfunctory with me, are you?" Willis began to raise the corners of his mouth again. This small gesture gave him a powerful and intelligent feeling on his muscular appearance. In fact, it was very
Suitable for certain types of films.
"I'm serious. Your temperament is more suitable for movies than TV series." Ronald thought to himself, you will still make movies in the future anyway, and it doesn't take much effort to say a few nice words.
"You know what? You just helped me make a big decision." Bruce Willis's face seemed to become a little more serious. "My agent, the director and producer of the TV series all advised me not to try again.
Movie. The box office and reviews of the movie 'Blind Date' were average.
But in my heart I still want to act in movies. When I first entered the industry, I just wanted to act in movies. Since you can say that, I believe you, I will still look for opportunities to make movies."
"Um..." Ronald felt in his mind that this comedian seemed to have a too big ego and a low IQ. Why did he seem to take it seriously when he tried to be polite to himself. Besides, in Hollywood, there is no one who doesn't.
Just follow what the other person said.
Hollywood is a place where rhetorical inflation is even more serious than the Federal Reserve under former President Jimmie. The promises made by many celebrities must be adjusted down at least five notches to understand their true meaning.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This is a masterpiece, I really want to participate, but I have to confirm the schedule with my agent" may actually mean "Quickly remove this garbage script from
Drive away before my eyes."
The real meaning of "I really want to work with you once, your xxx made me cry" may be "What kind of rubbish did you play? How could I possibly film with you?"
Ronald also follows the industry code and always praises the works of the celebrities he meets. He always applauds each other's opinions.
Why doesn’t Bruce Willis seem to understand his own subtext? Oh, by the way, he started out in TV series and has only acted in one movie. Maybe he’s not quite used to his Hollywood-style rhetoric.
.
"I mean..." Ronald didn't want to mislead this star actor who seemed to respect him very much when they met for the first time, so he was about to rephrase his words.
"I will contact my agent right now. I want to act in a movie. So I can't participate in this commercial. Movie stars don't do commercials, right? They are afraid that their image will be seen too much by the audience.
, it is fixed in one image, so we should try our best to appear in the film."
"What the fxck", Ronald didn't expect that after being polite, he actually made the star that Coca-Cola liked quit advertising. He couldn't bear the blame.
Ronald and Diane Lane quickly looked at each other. The two of them had a tacit understanding. They both consciously kept silent about Bruce Willis's decision, so as not to let the Coca-Cola staff not far away see any clues.
.
"Hi Darling, are you here?"
At this moment, Demi Moore's hoarse voice came over. She had completed the audition and got a contract with Coca-Cola. She was holding the hand of Coca-Cola's marketing director Melite and walked into the audition room here.
"Hi, Demi." Ronald opened his hand and waved to her. Just as he was speaking, he found that his other arm sank. When he turned around, he saw that it was held tightly by Diane, and his whole body was still leaning against her.
Come up.
"Diane."
Demi Moore walked closer, looked at Diane Lane, and called her name. This is a unique demonstration method for female stars.
Ronald felt bad. What was going on? Demi and he understood the relationship of exchange of interests very well. He renewed his relationship with him and then gave her a chance. How come he met Diane and ended up creating a mess?
Feeling jealous?
The instinctive reactions of these female stars were really terrible, just like two female animals seeing a tall and strong male trying to fight to determine the winner. Ronald thought to himself, he must learn a lesson from such things in the future.
, we can’t let our female companions meet each other so unprepared.
Moreover, Demi Moore's aura is obviously stronger than Diane's. She seems to be a bit like her real girlfriend. She is holding the hand of her father (old Mellet's hair happens to be gray) to demonstrate to herself who is in love with another girl.
Ronald quickly drove this terrible thought out of his head and gently patted Diane's arm holding his own with his hand, asking her to relax.
Diane, who got Ronald's reinsurance, finally had the aura to compete with Demi. She also adjusted her posture so that her breasts and buttocks were slightly protruding. Her whole body seemed to be pressed against Ronald, and she raised her face to the opposite side.
jaw:
"Demi."
"Hahaha...nice to see you." Demi pretended to go up and hugged Diane, and both of them secretly shouted "Bichi!"
"Mr. Merritt, I'm sorry, my mind has changed just now, and I can no longer accept this advertising invitation."
"Huh..." Ronald let out a long breath. Fortunately, Bruce Willis, an extremely arrogant fool, intervened, so no bigger problems occurred at the scene.
Melat's focus immediately turned to the male star of "Blue Moonlight" who refused to appear in the commercial.
"Can I ask why?" Mellet walked a few steps to communicate with Bruce Willis. Demi Moore also followed her and looked at Ronald deeply when she missed him.
He glanced at it, stuck out his tongue and touched it to his lips.
"For my personal career choice, I will accept the invitation for the movie, so that I can't act like Coca-Cola. I will definitely make the advertisement a TV commercial for fast moving consumer goods that everyone in America knows. I hope you can understand.
.”
Bruce Willis was not a complete fool, and he gave Mellet a lot of face in his words.
"Well, I understand. I wish you success in your film career." Of course Melat knew why film actors reject advertisements. He remained calm and had already blacklisted this fool in his heart.
"Oh oh oh, hello, beauty." Bruce Willis was about to call his agent to settle his affairs with Coca-Cola when he saw Demi Moore's ecstatic lick just now.
It seemed that his eyes suddenly lit up. This beauty was dressed in a way that resembled that of a southern girl. She had a superb temperament and was very feminine. She also looked very sweet and gentle, and had a special artistic temperament. She was more beautiful than him in "Blue".
My co-star in "Moonlight", Sybill Shepherd, was much better.
That vixen would quarrel with her every day over the scenes. Even when she was old, she still thought that she was the stunning beauty who broke up the marriage of the famous director Peter Bogdanovich. In fact, after she grew old and lost her lust, she could only be with her.
Dating a chiropractor.
But the beauty in front of me is different. It is the stage when the youthfulness of a girl fades away and the charm of women is at its most outstanding. Her eyes seem to be able to speak, and her whole body seems to be electrified at a glance. I don’t know what happened, Bruce Wei
Leith stepped forward and said:
"Would you be honored to invite you for a drink?..." Willis raised Demi's hand.
When it comes to beauties, they are beautiful in the film industry, and their quality is much better than that of actresses in TV series.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Demi, Demi Moore"
Demi happily let Bruce Willis kiss the back of her hand, "Of course, I'd love to."
"Mr. Merritt, Ronald, you don't mind if I leave first." Demi smiled at the two of them, winked at Ronald in particular, and generously held Bruce Willis's hand.
Walked out of the room.
"Bitch!" Now it was Coca-Cola's marketing director Melite's turn to curse. He had just signed a contract, so he couldn't fall out immediately.
"What about our leading actor?" Ronald asked Mellet.
"Let's go back to our actor from last year. He was also the leading actor in the TV series 'Detective Remington Steele'. We used him as a backup."
"OK", Ronald was careful not to let the other party find out that he messed up Bruce Willis' participation.
"Detective Remington Steele" is a detective film. Remington Steele is a fake, and the real detective is Laura Holt, the secretary behind it. Because in this male profession, clients
She doesn't believe a woman can do detective work, so she recruits a man to be her cover.
This TV series was canceled last year, and its popularity cannot be compared with "Blue Moonlight" which just won multiple Golden Globe Awards.
…
"Mr. (Yuan Kui), this is Ronald Lee."
JA's team has arrived in Los Angeles. Ronald is in the office to receive them who have just arrived from the airport. There are a total of six people in the team, led by a man and a woman. In addition to JA's introduction, there is also a pretty female stuntwoman.
"Corey, hello, call me Ronald." Ronald went up and shook hands with them tightly, without hugging, for fear of scaring the female stand-in who came together.
"You can call me Yuen Qiu. I have played a supporting role in Hollywood movies before." The female stand-in took the initiative to speak English.
"The hotel has been arranged. I'll ask Little Bud to take you there. After you get off the jet lag, we can chat again?" Ronald saw that the two martial arts stand-ins who came could speak some English, and he felt confident.
"Let's do it now. We know that your time in Hollywood is precious. This opportunity introduced by Brother Long, we are here to make money, not to rest. We all slept well on the plane." The female stand-in named Yuen Qiu was very talkative.
Straightforward.
Ronald looked at it and found that he had no objection. He knew that the two of them really wanted to work and were not being polite, so he asked the company's assistant to bring two contracts and asked them to sign them.
"This is your contract. The daily price is calculated according to the price of a mid-level stunt double in Hollywood. You stay in a hotel near the studio, and the company is responsible for the room charges. Your status as a martial artist, I will follow the price of a Hollywood stunt double."
be treated to the same standards as unions.
In addition, you also need to buy personal accident insurance, plus special daily allowances, which are written in the contract. This is Ms. Chen from our company. She can speak Mandarin and will explain every clause to you."
Ronald followed Hollywood rules and specially hired a Chinese college student to act as a translator.
"Brother Long introduced us, and we believe you, Director Luo." Yuen Qiu only looked at a few salary and allowance figures before signing his name with satisfaction.
The price offered by Hollywood this time was high. Since I was already married and retired, it was a good opportunity for Aaron to call me and introduce me, so that I could save some money for my future children.
He also signed his name, "Aaron ordered me to choose the best female stand-in. Yuen Qiu is also a member of our Seven Little Fortunes. Aaron and I were both trained by Master Yu."
Corey was recommended by JA, but Ronald didn't know Yuen Qiu's strength, so he strongly recommended his junior sister to Ronald.
"This is the storyboard of two advertisements. Take a look at how to design special actions. We will then make separate shots."
Ronald put forward the advertising plot and storyboard of two versions of the protagonist, one male and one female.
He also wanted to see the strength of the two of them and then decide how to cooperate.
"Well, the female version's stunt shots are these two. One is the heroine falling backwards and falling off the window sill. This shot has a frontal close-up of the actress. We can use the scene on the ground to solve it, but The heroine needs to receive training from Yuen Qiu before she can fall like a real person.
The second shot is a shot that imitates a food truck falling from the building, being bounced by the awning, and then falling into the sofa. The middle part of jumping off the building can be done by yuen qiu. In the long shot, yuen qiu wears a long There will be no flaws in the hair condom. The last shot of falling into the sofa also requires Yuen Qiu to give the actors adaptive training.
We've shot shots like this many times, and there's no problem."
"Do you know how to edit and understand the director's audition language?" Ronald became interested. This person's words contained a lot of knowledge about directors and editors, and he was obviously not a simple action director.
"Yes, my face is not good-looking, so I have been moving behind the scenes." He has an old face and is not suitable for playing the leading role or the second male lead. He can often only play supporting roles of bad guys and ordinary people.
"Very good, come up with a plan, and we will then find actors for adaptive training. What do you think of the male version of the commercial?"
"For the fight on the train, a few of us can put on ninja costumes and shoot the scene on the roof of the train. Anyway, this version of the male protagonist doesn't have many action scenes that require us to be stand-ins."
"Shooting directly on a moving train?" Ronald felt a little guilty. If he fell off...
"We were there, and the moving bus also took pictures. The speed of the train on the track was very predictable, so there was no problem."
"Ah, Brother Kui, you told Director Luo that life and death are determined by destiny, and wealth is in the sky. We who eat this bowl of rice will die because we are not good at learning. If you have anything to say, don't let him pay for it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The stuntmen behind realized that Ronald did not believe that they could do this dangerous action on the roof of the train, and they looked impatient. With a look on his face, he came up and said.
"Ah Wei, please don't interrupt." He glared at them and said, "Director Luo, they are rough people and uneducated. You don't want to be on the same level as them."
Ronald admired the arrogance of these action doubles. He didn’t speak Cantonese, so he asked for translation in English:
"I admire you very much. You must be confident before doing dangerous actions, and you must have all the protection you should have. I believe in your strength. I will treat you to a big dinner later. There are both Cantonese and Western food here. What do you want? What do you want to eat? I’ll treat you."
"I want to eat abalone, I want to eat big crab, I want to eat steak... Do you have any foreign wine?"
When those stand-ins heard that the boss invited them to dinner, they said they wanted to eat whatever was expensive.
"It's all there, it's all there, it's everything you said, hahaha." Ronald felt that these people spoke innocently and cutely, and was very happy.
…
"You fall back when the time comes. There is a very thick and soft cushion behind you. You won't feel any pain when you fall down." Yuen Qiu is doing adaptive training for Demi Moore.
"The only thing you have to overcome is your own psychological fear. We are professionals, just stay back and think about the performance, and everything will be fine."
What you need to overcome when falling backward is a human instinct. Most people will subconsciously shrink into a ball when they fall backward, but what the plot requires is a relaxed fall.
"Do you trust us? Do you trust Ronald? He hires the most professional team. As long as you trust me, you can act very realistically." Yuen Qiu is doing psychological construction for Demi.
"Believe me, Ronald has tested your movements beforehand. He has done it himself. There is no danger."
"Okay, I believe you." Demi Moore heard that Ronald had tried dangerous moves for herself beforehand, and she no longer had any fear in her heart. She fell back and fell onto the sponge with a bang.
"How is it?" Yuen Qiu quickly went up to help her up.
"You're right, it doesn't hurt at all." Demi Moore struggled to get up and looked at Ronald who was watching the set.
"How's it going?" Ronald looked over.
“Everything is perfect.”
"Ronald, can we talk alone?" Demi Moore pulled Ronald aside to chat.
"What do you want to say?"
"I like you very much Ronald, but what I want is a guaranteed relationship. Do you understand what I mean? Whether it's Emilio or Bruce, they both gave me something you can't give, a commitment.
.”
"I understand, I understand." Ronald knew that Demi Moore was looking for a powerful man in the industry to protect her. He didn't really appreciate her such a campy attitude, but in Hollywood, she still
A female star like her can eat well.
"Bruce and you?"
"He asked me out and it was like we were in high school again, and I think he really meant it."
"Demi!"
Just as he was talking, Bruce Willis' head entered the studio.
"How could you do such a dangerous move?"
"Why can't I do it? I was praised for my talent by the most professional female action stuntmen in Hollywood." Demi's eyes widened, and Willis quickly apologized.
"I'm just worried about you, honey," Willis said, turning to the stunt crew present. "You all have to protect Miss Moore's safety. I don't want her to get hurt in any way."
Snap, Willis snapped his fingers, and a row of flower shop staff filed in and gave Demi bouquets of flowers, which were placed around the stool where she was resting.
"Oh..." Ronald covered his face, and he even came to the scene to pick up a girl.
"All irrelevant people must leave the scene. We are about to start filming."
Ronald signaled the assistant director to pick up the microphone and clear the scene. Then he looked at Bruce Willis, who was standing next to him triumphantly, without speaking.
"I want it too?" Willis pointed to the door, "ok, ok, I'll leave right away."
After receiving a look from Demi Moore, Bruce Willis immediately walked backwards out of the studio.
"a!"
…
The female version of the commercial was shot very quickly, using a studio where early 20th century movies were shot, and the commercial was shot quickly.
Yuen Qiu's jumping off the building and the stunt shot of bouncing off the awning were shot in three shots. Ronald was very satisfied with the efficiency of the ja team.
The film crew moved to location, to a large ranch on the outskirts of Los Angeles, where there was a railway built by the farmer himself and an ancient steam locomotive. The train was painted bright red and was often rented to the crew for fashion scenes.
"a!"
Several dragon and tiger warriors put on ninja costumes, jumped on the top of the train, then pulled out their samurai swords from their backs, and quickly walked through the gap between the train and the steam. The shot was very beautiful.
"Cut!" Ronald was watching the conductor. In Hong Kong, many action films have such a clear division of labor. Action scenes are designed on-site by the action director, rehearsed and shot on-site. The quality of the completion is actually better than that in Hollywood where the action designer is responsible.
When it comes to a professional workflow like splitting shots, the results are even better.
"This is a talent. I have to find a way to keep it and use it in the future." Ronald was very satisfied with the quality of this high-speed shooting.
"Pierce, it's your turn." Ronald said to the leading actor Pierce Brosnan. Then it was his turn to direct.
"They are really amazing." Pierce Brosnan was also looking at their team's shooting. No one in Hollywood could complete this kind of shot.
"let us start."
It took the train half an hour to get back to where it was. Ronald asked Pierce Brosnan to hang on the train and signaled the train to start.
Another car filming was equipped with a camera with a camera stabilizer, shooting parallel to the side.
"Woo..." The siren sounded, and inside the car window was Diane Lane wearing a red dress. Her face caught a glimpse of the camera, looking very stunning.
"Hello, beauty!" Pierce Brosnan said while hanging outside the train.
"cut!"
"We are shooting a scene inside where two people are toasting with Coca-Cola." Ronald asked the photographer. He was satisfied with the shot and announced that the shooting would be moved to the inside of the train carriage.
"Are you British? To be honest, you are more suitable to play James Bond 007 than you are now."
After the filming was completed, Ronald watched Pierce Brosnan's gentlemanly and polite performance and felt that he could better interpret the temperament of Britain's most romantic agent than the current Bond.
"Actually, they approached me, but I was eliminated during the audition." Pierce Brosnan tilted his head, "So I had to go back and play Detective Steele.
"They made a serious mistake, serious!" Ronald felt that the committee that controlled the property rights of the 007 series of movies was simply blind. Such actors are the spokespersons of James Bond.
