  Chapter 936 Diane's new film

   Get it out of Eddie Murphy that the Jews are fanning the flames and embarrassing yourself. Ronald called Nisita and Richard held an emergency meeting together.

"I remember when Mr. Ovitz signed me, he once told me that I can go to him directly if I have something? I need his help now. This is really embarrassing. I made a lot of money for the Jews, hot The plot of the body dance has also been blurred, and I am tired of teaching me a little lesson in secret.

   You go to see Ovitz in person and bring what I mean. I have used many CAA actors in my film projects and helped many of his clients, and now it is his turn to repay me. "

"It's just a way the Jews do things. They don't actually conflict with your ideas and strengths, at least not now. That's why they use this roundabout way to convey information. In fact, they don't care about the people behind it. This kind of thing is very It’s hard to say what caused it.” Richard is also Jewish, and understands some of the ways of thinking of those of the same ethnicity.

"I don't have time to think too deeply, who offended me, who sees me uncomfortable, I like making movies, and I don't want to care too much about other things. Isn't your agent supposed to help me solve this kind of thing? I know O Weitz must have a channel to talk about this with the people behind him, and pass my thoughts on, otherwise I will find someone to talk to him in person." Ronald waved his hand, as if to make these ubiquitous flies drive away.

   The two agreed to come down and went to communicate with Ovitz overnight. If Ronald is not satisfied, it will cause immeasurable losses to the company and himself.

"Actually, they are like children, doing some testing. If Ronald just wants to be a director, then just ignore them. With his strength and reputation, he will not find a partner. We Jews are out of The name is willing to cooperate with anyone..." Richard laughed at himself while driving.

"Ronald is not a director anymore. If you compare him with the two Israeli producers of Cannon Films before he got financing, you will find that the channels and resources he has now are qualified to be admitted as a second-tier director. production and distribution company." Nisita took a deeper look.

"But now it's not 1985, 1986. Wall Street is much more cautious about investing in Hollywood. Cannon's financial situation has more concerns about their investment in small and medium-sized companies. Ronald is not a threat now. ?” asked Richard.

  "The problem is that he has this potential. You should understand Israel's position on the Middle East issue and resolve it before hidden dangers arise."

  …

  The next day, Ronald came to the editing room rented by the company, where Corey Yuen had returned to Hollywood with all the films of "Boxer" and assembled the editing here.

   "What about the cannon?" Ronald asked producer Rachel Talalay.

  “They rejected the joint release. Now the cannon is Yoram’s business, and they have a lot of new year’s films, so they don’t have the resources to cooperate with us. I think they are mainly not confident in this kind of kung fu film.”

  Rachel Talalay was sent to Xiangjiang by Ronald, and the work was done very well, and the shooting time and budget were all completed within the plan. Ronald was interested in cultivating and also let her participate in the distribution work.

   "Minahan is out of business now?" Ronald shook his head secretly. Unemployment is very uncomfortable for Minahan, especially when his cousin Yoram replaced him.

   "He also asked about you, saying that he is free now and can be a director or screenwriter again. If you are interested, he wants to cooperate with you again and make a musical film like breakdance."

   "Let's talk about it, I'm very busy now." Ronald shook his hand, he still had time to make that kind of low-cost musicals.

"I think this shot should be cut like this..." Jean-Claude Van Damme looked at the small monitor. Under the guidance of the master played by Qiao Hong, he was blindfolded and used a teacup to fight with the master. Every time he was able to block it just right. Master's attack.

  He was very proud of himself, Xiangjiang's martial artists were very professional, and they used many methods to make these martial arts scenes look good, and he looked so handsome as the protagonist.

"No, you said too many close-ups. What we need here is a narrative. I have already given you two close-up reaction shots. Adding them will make the audience feel that the rhythm is a bit procrastinated." Director Corey Yuen told Shang Geyun after rewinding the film. Dayton explained.

   "Well, what you said makes sense." The actor Jean-Claude Van Damme thought for a while, and indeed from an overall point of view, Corey Yuen's idea was correct. There is no reason why my face appears too many times, and it may not be a good thing. He's not Tom Cruise, he's not so handsome that female audiences seem to take a few extra glances.

"Hi, Jean-Claude," Ronald heard their conversation, turned his head and said to the Chinese action actor with a Chinese name, "I asked you to come to the editing room because you said you want to learn editing, It’s not for you to interfere with the director and buy a few more minutes for your own shots.”

   "Hey, I know, I just said that, or Corey was right."

   "Jean Claude also gave a lot of good advice, he just lacks experience in editing." Corey Yuen also said good things for the actor. There are not many ghosts like him who can play beautifully in front of the camera. Brother Long has watched the sample and admired his flying kicks.

   "As long as you have the numbers, I'll let you take charge." Ronald nodded to Corey Yuen. Director Xiangjiang still couldn't let go in Hollywood, so I came to support him today.

   After "Boxing Fighter" was assembled, it was screened on the big screen. The plot was not written by a powerful screenwriter, it was a bit old-fashioned. But the action scenes are absolutely wonderful, especially Yang Si, the Chinese devil and muscular man, who plays the big villain is absolutely impressive.

   As for Qiu Yunbo, who played the supporting role of the master's son who was beaten to death by Yang Si in the ring, his acting level was not bad. Ronald offered to try a bigger role if the movie was a hit.

   "Your muscle lines are really good", the main character played by Jean-Claude Van Damme was shown on the big screen, having a fling with a female reporter in a hotel. Jean-Claude Van Dun showed off the muscles of his buttocks, and the visual effect looks very good.

  The female reporter is Brooke Shields. Her status is much higher than that of Jean-Claude Van Damme, so she is only covered with a quilt, without revealing anything.

   "How was Brooke doing there?" Ronald asked Jean-Claude Van Damme and the director how she was doing, having not seen her for a long time.

"She didn't shoot many scenes, but she didn't ask for special treatment in Xiangjiang. One day, she was recognized by insiders. She appeared on TVB's program and shot a lot of commercials. After that, she went to Dongying, Mitsubishi Motors thinks that her appeal in Dongying is also very good, so I want to invite her to try it."

"I see." Ronald looked at Brooke on the screen. As she got older, Brooke Shields' temperament of youthful invincibility and beautiful girl faded a bit, but the memory of a generation of teenagers in the world can still make her eat for a long time. .

  "After the editing is finished, we will do one or two test screenings, listen to the opinions of the audience, and bring it to me to watch. After making the revisions, we will release it before the summer file.

  …

  There are a lot of film business, Ronald is very busy, he tries to arrange the business together to save time at one time.

  So another movie about him, "Big" starring Diane, had its first preview scheduled for the same day.

"My biggest challenge was the scene where I found out that Josh was a thirteen-year-old boy, and I didn't believe her boyfriend made up such a reason to break up with me, and then went to confirm it." Diane was very happy to finally return to the big Hollywood production The studio's mainstream films had lead actresses. She excitedly narrated alongside Ronald.

   "Well... very challenging..." Ronald rubbed Diane's hair with a smile.

   However, what Ronald is really interested in is the actor who plays an adult on the outside and a child on the inside, Tom Hanks. This level of performance is so extraordinary that adults often forget how children think and act, but Hanks is convincing.

  Ronald looked at the female director. Penny Marshall, who had asked him to help with casting, was very capable with blond hair. Seeing Ronald's consulting gaze, he smiled and said to him, "I asked that little actor to act Tom's part first, and then let him learn to imitate..."

   "The way of genius..." Ronald thought to himself why he acted so similarly. Directing this kind of children's play may be the strong point of a female director, and if she herself would definitely not be able to think of such a method.

"The two protagonists you introduced to me are both very good. The best thing is that they respect the director... I was able to successfully make a movie this time, and I was not fired by Fox in the middle, thanks to you." Penny Marshall took the opportunity to tell Thank you Ronald.

  The original actor was Robert De Niro. He made various requests to revise the script, but finally gave up because it was too difficult to play the leading actor. Tom Hanks recommended by Ronald not only completed the movie better, but also only paid two million yuan, only one-third of De Niro's.

  The original heroine Debra Winger, after seeing De Niro's withdrawal, also played a big role, asking to change the boy who grew up in the script into a girl, and she played the leading role, completely changing the story.

  Diane, recommended by Ronald, had no intention of revising the script at all, and completed the shooting with high quality.

  During the filming process, many staff members disrespected Penny Marshall, which made her want to fire the director of photography in the second week.

  Finally, Goldberg of 20th Century Fox called Ronald to consult his opinion, and Penny Marshall, who was supported by Ronald, was able to complete the film as a director.

   "The movie proved that Goldberg made the right decision." Ronald's incident is not credited, and the success of the filming is due to the creator.

   "Diane's performance is very good, compared to film critics will say a lot of good things about her."

   "Will it? What do you think?" Diane heard it, and after a while secretly asked Ronald for his opinion. After all, he is a well-known director.

   "I think so, the transformation of your acting is very convincing." Ronald is not worried about Diane's acting skills. The character named Susan has a complicated heart and is just suitable for Diane.

  At the beginning, Susan is a professional woman. At the beginning, her hair is fixed and tied up, and she wears strong clothes with high shoulder pads, high heels and expensive stockings.

Later, after getting along with the big boy Josh for a long time, Susan, who works in a toy company, found herself again. Her hair began to fall down, she put on childish gestures, and began to wear girly angora rabbit fur skirts. The shoes also became lightweight flats.

  Diane's expression has also changed from a cautious professional woman who secures her career ladder to a relaxed, sweet, gentle woman who understands children's preferences.

The bright line of this movie is the psychological change of the kid Josh played by Tom Hanks growing up, and the dark line is the adult represented by Susan played by Diane. With the help of the child, he found his long-lost Pure story.

   Indeed, this kind of performance will be seen by film critics. It will neither overwhelm the guests, nor be buried under the cover of Hanks' powerful acting skills. It is a close opponent.

The sample was released when Susan and Josh finally fell in love. At this time, Susan was softened by the childish Josh, and she no longer judged Josh by career development, the way of showing love to women by giving gifts, and the demands of mature women on their boyfriends. , Gradually softened and awakened the hidden innocence.

   "Huh?" Ronald turned his head to look at Diane. In this **** scene, although Penny Marshall didn't let Diane show any scenes, this is a PG movie.

   But in order to please the adult audience, eat some ice cream, some tricks are played on the costumes, and Ronald feels like there is nothing else under the shirt that Diane is wearing...

   "This is what the plot requires. Susan feels that Josh doesn't take any action, so...you won't be jealous, right?" Diane looked at Ronald and smiled strangely.

   "It seems that I will come to the crew to visit more often... When Harrison Ford was filming a bed scene, his wife would come to stare at him every day..." Ronald replied with a smile.

   "Will you come?..." Diane looked disbelieving, and looked at Ronald a few more times. It would be great if she really came. Thinking of the sweet spot, she hugged Ronald tightly again.

   "I was filming my own movie at that time, if I have time, I will go..."

   "You can come if you want..." Diane hugged her arms tighter, "Are you going to New York next?"

   "Yes, there is something on Staten Island", Ronald is going to go back to deal with the new house garden.

   "I'm going back with Donna too, I haven't seen my dad Bert for a long time..."

   "Well, we can fly back together."

  After the trial screening, Ronald got up to congratulate the director Penny Marshall. The technology of this film is average, and the director of photography is indeed limited in ability, or does not respect the director enough, and the tone of the picture is a bit inconsistent. But seeing Ronald was very touched. how to say? This movie is not won by the plot, but by the wonderful performance of the two protagonists, which makes people watch and is full of inner strength. I also want to recall my childhood dreams, put aside the battles in the workplace for a while, and yearn for the innocent youth .

   "This is the screenwriter of the movie, Ann...", Penny Marshall was delighted with Ronald's response, and he was sure to have a good word for his movie at Goldberg. I took him to introduce some of the main creators on the scene.

   "Hello, very good story...", Ronald admired the screenwriter named Ann very much. This is typically the kind of movie where the script isn't as good as the film. Many details and performances are attractive to the actors, not the story.

   "My brother said the same thing, he admires you very much."

   "Oh, is your brother?" Ronald asked.

   "This is my business card", Ann pushed a business card, without directly answering the question.

   Ronald took a look, it said Ann Spielberg.

   "Steven?" Ronald asked, not a very common last name.

   "Yes, he is my brother. He originally intended to direct, but he said he didn't want to steal my limelight. He recommended Penny. If there is a chance, I would also like to cooperate with you."

   "There will be opportunities in the future", Ronald smiled and accepted the business card. This Steven's younger sister believed her brother's perfunctory words. But this time, maybe she will really become famous.

  …

   "So, you are very optimistic about Penny's new film?" Sure enough, in the evening, Fox's Goldberg called to ask Ronald for his opinion.

"Very good, really good. The PG story can attract the whole family to watch. It is in line with the current trend of children's films, and the quality is absolutely no problem, especially the performances of the male and female protagonists are Oscar-nominated performances." Mr. Ronald Thumbs up.

   "Okay, I'll ask the distribution department to find a suitable time... For our next year's Oscar, the most important thing is your new film."
