Exploiting Hollywood 1980 Chapter 875

  Chapter 875 Divorce battle

   "What, am I not suitable to appear here?"

The next day, Demi Moore arrived at the audition room of Twentieth Century Fox. She was wearing a low-cut black diamond-encrusted black dress, her black hair spread out, and she slowly leaned against the desk, twisting her shoulders slightly, doing made a seductive gesture.

  Demi Mill has not yet dyed her hair blonde to match the role of Tess, her eyes are shining, and she emits 120% electricity to Ronald, who is opposite her in the role.

   "No, no, I'm sure you're top-notch no matter what you do, Ace." Ronald quickly read the script, he had forgotten the words.

   It's because Ronald has also experienced her style, but today he can't stand the natural coquettish demeanor of this woman. As she got older, she became more like a young woman.

   "I have a brain that can do business, and a body that is tempting to commit crimes... Is there anything wrong with that?"

   Demi Moore moved her body a few more inches in Ronald's direction, and then spoke her lines to Ronald in that hoarse voice.

   "Of course,... ah... nothing wrong..." Ronald's nose was getting closer and closer to Demi Moore, and he almost smelled the delicious breath coming out of her mouth. Ronald, who was really shaken by the beauty, now became a real performance.

  In the script, Tess goes to the bar to meet Jack Trainor, an investment banker who will pretend to be a manager to sell her M&A plan tomorrow.

  Because she met her in the bar on purpose, Tess was fully prepared to seduce men, and Ronald, who was playing with her, couldn't bear it.

   "It's great, Ronald. I didn't expect your acting skills to be so good. Have you ever considered playing a role?" Casting director Julia Taylor deliberately praised Ronald beside him to relieve the embarrassing situation.

"Hey, Demi is better at acting. Your improvement in acting is amazing." Ronald looked at Demi Moore. This woman used all the money she made from advertising to go to acting school. When it comes to buying good-looking clothes, you don't hesitate to invest in yourself.

   "We will call your agent when the time comes", Julia Taylor saw that Ronald was still thinking, and said this sentence instead of Ronald, meaning you can go.

  Demi stroked the back of Ronald's hand with her hand, then used **** to imitate walking on a small person, and tapped on Ronald's arm. "Okay, I've been filming here with Bruce for the past few days, and you can also find me upstairs."

   Then she stood up and walked out with a twist.

   "So what do you think?" Ronald asked casting director Julia Taylor, sitting motionless in the audition chair.

   "The part of the white swan is very good. She has the temperament of a professional woman, very smart and very sexy." Julia Taylor wrote a comment on the audition form. "However, the part of the ugly duckling was too young. She seemed to have a bad time when she was young, so when she played the secretary who was bullied, she borrowed emotional memory, and she didn't seem as sophisticated as a 30-year-old working girl."

   "Do you think she can act well?" Ronald asked.

   "She is talented, among the stars she is the best at acting."

  Julia Taylor started packing up her audition materials, and she will meet several female stars in Los Angeles these days, such as Michelle Pfeiffer, Mel Streep and others.

   "Where are you going next?" Julia Taylor asked Ronald.

   "I went to attend the premiere of Spielberg's new film, and many old friends I met in China also came."

   "Okay, let's split up and I'll call you when I see a star who is suitable for the role of Tess."

   This is also one of Julia Taylor's relatively few involvements in star casting, rather than choosing based on which actor is most suitable for the role. There is something she is learning too.

   After Taylor left the audition room, Ronald stood up, covered the front of his trousers with the script, and moved towards the door. Demi Moore is really attractive, but she has a boyfriend, which can be troublesome if things go wrong.

  The premiere of "Empire of the Sun" premiered at Lu Shanji's Westwood Cinema. There are plenty of stars in attendance, and Ronald also gets to see the young, somewhat shy lead, boy Christian Bale.

   "Chris, did you come alone?" Ronald was very happy to see the little actor, and he patted his head.

   "Mr. Li, I originally agreed to come with Mr. Spielberg, but he is busy."

   "Oh, let's take a photo." Ronald and the little actor were about to take a photo, and then went inside to watch this epic movie shot in Jiading.

   "Photographer, come and take pictures for us first!" A tall man, about the same height as Ronald, with a ponytail, yelled for the photographer to take a picture of himself and a beautiful woman.

  The beauty is Kelly LeBrock, the star of the **** comedy "The Lady in Red", which was sold two years ago. She is wearing a black and white plaid top today, looking very fresh.

   "Kelly?" Ronald greeted the beauty.

   "Ronald, I'm so glad to see you here..." Kelly LeBrock hugged Ronald tightly, with a good figure straight into her arms.

   "Hey, hey, don't get in the way here." The man with the ponytail came up to talk, and he called the photographer for a photo of himself and Kelly LeBrock.

   "Are you Sly's bodyguard?" Ronald recognized this person. He was Stallone's bodyguard when he was at CAA before, but he didn't expect to switch to Kelly LeBrock's bodyguard now?

   But he was clearly trying too hard, and Kelly LeBrock obviously wanted to chat with Ronald about the new female lead that everyone in Hollywood is talking about.

   "I'm working for Mr. Michael Ovitz." The bodyguard immediately denied that he was not Kelly LeBrock's bodyguard, and his client was much bigger than her.

   "Okay, you guys are busy." Ronald thought in his heart that Ovitz, the boss of CAA, wanted to keep a beautiful star? This female star is obviously too coquettish, which doesn't match Tess' temperament. But if Ovitz was her benefactor, she would definitely come to her.

   "No, you misunderstood, Ronald." Kelly LeBrock came over and explained, "This is my new husband, Stephen Segel."

"I am not only Mr. Ovitz's bodyguard, but also his aikido instructor. He has promised to invest in a movie for me, an action movie..." Stephen Segel approached the two movies and looked at Ronald, as if to The appearance of choosing and devouring.

  Ronald stepped back half a step, and put on a defensive posture for wrestling. Is this guy a little sick?

   "Hey, Stephen, don't do this..." His wife Kelly LeBrock stopped immediately.

   "I just want to see his weight..." Siegel was more gentle with his wife. Then two eyes looked at Ronald's footsteps with disdain.

  Stephen Segel was actually very nervous about his wife embracing Ronald enthusiastically. This female star was the guiding stone for him to get into the upper circle of Hollywood.

  Kelly LeBrock's ex-husband is a restaurateur and very rich. He invested in several of her films for his wife and worked as a producer.

   As a result, Stephen Segel took advantage of it, pried the corner of the wall, and made Kelly LeBrock pregnant with her own child. It was only then that they quickly divorced, and after giving birth to a daughter for Siegel, they married him.

  Because he was the one who pried off the corner of the wall, Stephen Segel was very concerned about his wife's intimate behavior with other men, and he was very good at picking up girls. The reason why he is the only Westerner who has obtained a teacher's certificate in Aikido in Japan is also because he stole the master's daughter and became a door-to-door son-in-law to obtain the true instruction.

   Ronald looked at that aikido posture that looked more attractive than actual combat, and he was not afraid in his heart. Although he had neglected wrestling practice in recent years, he would not be attacked if he was prepared.

"Hi, Ronald," Michael Ovitz of CAA came over while the two were confronting each other, "I'm going to introduce to you, this is the future action star that CAA attaches great importance to, Stephen Segel , he is a teacher certificate of the Aikido school of Aikido Dongying Foundation, and he is the only Western aikido master who can start teaching apprentices.

   "We just met, excuse me." Ronald nodded politely and walked away.

   "He..." Ovitz clearly saw that Segel's old problem was repeated. He's always teasing the rest of the industry with half-truths like this. Some people will play tricks with him out of their mystery about Dongying martial arts.

   But this time, he made a mistake. This silly boy obviously offended Ronald, so he should be more careful not to give this silly boy too much budget.

   "Wait a minute, don't take pictures of me." Ovitz stopped the photographer from taking himself into the photo, and stepped back. As the owner of an agency company, he kept a low profile and never robbed the stars of the limelight. "

   Entering the screening hall, Ronald and Little Bell separated, went to the back and found a seat next to the aisle where no one was paying attention, and waited for the release of "Empire of the Sun".

   This is the first time for Ronald to watch the full version of "Empire of the Sun". This is also an award-winning film that was released on a small scale during the awards season, just like "The Last Emperor".

  Spielberg's most admired film director is Britain's David Lean, and Lean's epic films are also Spielberg's favorite.

Ronald can clearly see that this film has some shooting techniques, which were formally learned from David Lean's "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Journey to India", and then integrated into Spielberg's In Gert's own film tone.

   "Tsk..." After seeing the back, Ronald didn't like the movie a little bit.

  The main line of the movie is actually a child from a British family played by Christian Bale. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, he was sent to the camp by the Japanese army.

  But in this movie, there is another hidden main line. Spielberg didn't say it clearly, waiting for the capable audience to discover it by themselves.

  This implicit main line is the process of the protagonist Jamie Graham looking for his father.

  In other words, this is a process of finding a spiritual and spiritual father.

  Britain was severely beaten in the Pacific War. The largest surrender since the founding of the country took place in Singapore in Asia.

  So at the beginning of the movie, the protagonist Jamie gradually began to abandon the British culture, and began to get close to, and even liked the neat military uniforms and shiny riding boots of the Japanese people.

   And when the Japanese were beaten to pieces by the U.S. military in the Pacific Ocean, Jamie started to find a third father, which was America. Even his nickname was changed to an Americanized version of Jim.

  At the end of the movie, when Ronald uttered a meaningless tut, it was the protagonist "Jim" at the end of the movie who saw a strong flash of light from the Pacific Ocean in Xujiahui, which was the light of the atomic bomb explosion in Dongying.

  In the end, the protagonist Jamie Graham completed his spiritual adventure of finding his father, was rescued by the American army, and got the beer and chocolate airdropped by the American army, which symbolizes wealth and fame.

   "Why, do you really want to be dissatisfied with the handling of this paragraph?"

  Beside the dark aisle next to him, a tall man with a baseball cap and an unshaven beard was asking Ronald.

   "Stephen?" Ronald recognized the director Spielberg, who also hid behind him like himself.

   "Shh...", Spielberg gestured to Ronald. He sneaked out to watch his premiere, and saw that Ronald was also watching, and wanted to chat with him after the end.

   "Why weren't you at the door just now?" Ronald looked at Spielberg, a movie genius in a sloppy outfit, and it seemed that he was wearing two pairs of socks.

   "I'm not very convenient to be seen by reporters, they will ask me a lot of questions."

   "Oh, OK", Ronald couldn't figure out what happened for a moment.

   "Go on, why are you not satisfied with that paragraph?"

   "I think it's okay, but it's a bit unexpected."

   "Then there is a problem? Tell me, what is our relationship? When I got married, you were my best man." Spielberg was obviously in a wrong state.

  Ronald thought for a while, but said straight, "In fact, Xujiahui couldn't see the nuclear explosion over Hiroshima. Wouldn't it look a bit illusory?"

"It's a boy's dream, and I think this way of dealing with it, maybe it can give a powerful ending like Lawrence of Arabia, which requires a giant to whip his whip, and the protagonist can discover that nomadic tribes like Arabs can't build an empire. Yes, the Britons are only looking for spiritual..."

   "Spiritually rely on (father)..."

   "Yeah, how do you like it?"

   "It's okay, I'm afraid that if there are knowledgeable film critics, they will point out that factual little flaw of yours."

   "It's okay, my mind is very confused now, this is already the best ending I can come up with, compared to David Lean, that kind of epic ending is still a bit worse."

  Spielberg muttered a few words, David Lean was semi-retired after filming a trip to India in 1984. He really wants to replace him and become a top director of an epic film, and then win the Oscar for Best Director.

   After the movie finished, the two sneaked out through the back door. Ronald gave a whistle and asked Bud Jr. to drive over from the opposite side of the street.

   "Shall I take you back?" Ronald asked Spielberg in the car.

   "Do you have somewhere to drink beer?"

   "Huh? There must be, let's go to the bar below the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, where the original Schlitz is good."

   "Do you want to call Amy?" Ronald thought of Spielberg's wife, actress Amy Irving.

   "Forget it, we quarreled again." Spielberg picked up the beer brought by the waiter and drank it down.

  It turns out that after giving birth to Spielberg's son Max, Amy Owen always wanted to return to the film industry and continue her career as an actress.

   And Spielberg believes that the son is still young and needs the company of his mother.

The two have had a big fight recently. Michael Ovitz of CAA wants to help mediate the relationship between the two, but Spielberg doesn't want outsiders to interfere in his private affairs. Only Ronald, the best man invited at the wedding that year , you can chat a few words.

"It seems that directors and female stars should be cautious when they get married." Ronald did not expect to see two marital conflicts today. Hollywood is really a place of luxury and money, and it is quite different from the Puritan moral code he grew up on. difference.

   Send Spielberg back to his mansion in Malibu, which Spielberg bought for his wife.

   Watching Amy Irving order the servants to approach Spielberg, Ronald shook his head, this marriage still needs to be cautious.

  Back to the hotel, Ronald started to wash up, when the phone rang.

   "Ronald, are you watching TV?" Over there is Julia Taylor.

   "What's the matter? I haven't had time yet."

   "NBC Five, rerun entertainment news, your lead actress just sued for divorce."

   "Huh? It got out so soon?" Ronald was shocked, "Is it okay for Amy to play Tess?"

   "What Amy, I'm talking about Madonna..."

  Ronald found the rebroadcast channel. Many reporters on it, as well as the helicopter of the TV station, were waiting anxiously at the door of Madonna and Sean Penn's house. A lawyer-like person came out.

   "Hey, after a tumultuous two-year marriage, my client, Ms. Madonna Ciccone, has decided to formally file for divorce in the Los Angeles District Court."
