Exploiting Hollywood 1980.

Chapter 398 Rescue
"This is the place where I shoot flying, and I have to come every other day to learn how to hang the wire to shoot." Helen took Ronald to visit the super big studio the next morning.

The next morning, Ronald was pulled by Helen to visit her various sets and scenes on the set of "Supergirl".

"It's so high? Why don't you use a stand-in?" Ronald looked at the high crane, and couldn't help but feel scared. He glanced at Helen worriedly.

"Isn't the stand-in not realistic enough?" Helen took Ronald's hand and said, "I make the flying movements by myself, so that the close-up shots won't be misleading."

"I don't understand. Editing can actually be used to deal with it. I'm not saying that there will be any accidents. Even if the actor has this skill, such a dangerous action should not be filmed by the actor."

"Okay, okay, the Superman series are all filmed like this, and I also want to act more realistically. At the beginning, I didn't dare to hang the wire on it. Later, it was Peter who let me let go of life and death and fight bravely. , This completes the rehearsal of the flight maneuvers."

"Peter?"

"Mr. O'Toole."

"Helen, promise me, if you feel that doing an action is dangerous, don't worry about the nonsense of letting go of life and death. Protecting yourself is the most important thing. If you think it's too difficult, call it a double. This is justified in Hollywood..."

"That's why Hollywood can't make good movies." A thin middle-aged actor, carrying a bottle of wine, interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Oh, Peter..." Helen saw that it was Peter O'Toole who played the role of Superwoman's teacher in the movie, hugged him and said hello, "Peter, this is Ronald, Ronald, this is Peter."

"Mr. O'Toole, hello, why do you Britons have a habit of drinking in the morning?"

Ronald was naturally a little disgusted with this handsome old man. He taught Helen his lines and encouraged her to go into battle by herself without a double. He looked at the two of them as if they were still very familiar with each other.

Moreover, an actor, holding a bottle of spirits during breakfast time, seemed to be quite addicted to alcohol.

"To drive out fat Jack is to drive out the whole world."Peter O'Toole picked up the fat belly-shaped wine bottle, shook it at Ronald, and said a line slowly, which sounded like something in a Shakespeare play.

"Falstaff in Henry IV?" Helen Slater asked Peter O'Toole with curious eyes.

"Yeah, who's going to see Henry IV if there's no Falstaff in Henry IV?"

"Damn it," Ronald cursed angrily in a low voice. I couldn't understand what this handsome old drunk said, and I didn't know what he was talking about.I only know that it seems to be a comic character in Shakespeare's play "Henry IV".

Ronald, who was born in Yeluzi, suddenly felt that he was very uneducated when faced with a British actor with a background in Shakespeare's plays.

"So you're also in the film industry, Ronald?" Seeing that Ronald was silent, O'Toole knew that he might not be familiar with Shakespeare, so he changed his tone and started chatting with him.

"Yeah, I'm actually a director doing small productions in Hollywood."

"Ronald is amazing. His first novel sold for 4000 million US dollars at the box office, and he taught me to audition for the role of superwoman." Helen took Ronald's arm and raised her boyfriend Save face.

"Oh, that's really good. But you two sweet little sparrows have to forgive me, I have to make some breakfast for my little Falstaff." O'Toole nodded to Ronald and went to the restaurant on the Pinewood set for dinner went.

"Let's go eat too, the muffins there are delicious." Helen also took Ronald to the restaurant.

"What, are you still jealous of Peter? Helen took a muffin and ate a piece. She does high-intensity exercise every day, so that she can properly let go of her diet during this time, which is very pleasant.

"No, I just don't like the fact that British actors speak Shakespeare accents in their daily lives. It seems that I don't understand." Ronald smiled, stroking Helen's hand and said gently.

Slap, Helen slapped Ronald's hand lightly, "This is the ability that our American actors can only dream of. They all graduated from Cambridge and Oxford and engaged in theater performances very early. In their hands, acting has become An art."

"I don't know. For me, film performances don't use this kind of accent at all. It just needs to be close to life and make the audience feel that the characters speak in this way in life. For example, Superwoman, she came to the earth's America to do ordinary things. How can a high school girl speak with a Shakespearean accent?"

"Um...um..." Helen slapped Ronald vigorously and quickly a few times. She was a little unhappy that Ronald had belittled the acting ability of the actors, as if making a movie only needed a few good-looking actors in front of the camera Just smile.

But what the boyfriend said is not completely unreasonable. The performance in the movie is indeed different from the performance in the drama, and it cannot be completely copied.After a few years of training at the New York Academy of Performing Arts, Helen always looked up to actors who could play Shakespeare. When they were rehearsing in school, they were always a little bit off.

"Ronald, Ronald!" The assistant from CAA who came to pick up Ronald yesterday appeared on the Pinewood set again, and he saw Ronald's figure running over in a hurry.

"Is there a problem?"

"One of your investors found me through the Los Angeles office, please call him back. He is now in Israel, and his name is Minahan."

"Oh?" Ronald took the note from his assistant, which contained Minahan's phone number in Israel.

"Did he say something?" Ronald was a little puzzled, what was Minahan looking for at this time?
The assistant shook his head, "I don't know, I'll make a long-distance call for you, and I'll call you when I get through."

"Who is looking for you?" Helen asked.

"It's Minahan, the boss of Cannon Films. He invested in my new movie and asked me for something. He looks very anxious."

"Cannon Films, the one you said was making funny movies?"

"Yeah, that's him." Ronald told Helen the ins and outs of the financing.

"Ronald, the call has been connected." The assistant came over and called Ronald.

"I'll go." Ronald wiped his mouth with a napkin, and went over to answer Minahan's call.

"Minahan, are you still in Israel? What time is it there? What can I do for you?"

"Never mind what time it is, I have a big problem here, I need you, you should come to Israel, otherwise 'Sahara' will not be able to be filmed."

"Wait, wait, what's wrong? What does it have to do with me? Can I fix it?"

"Boji Shields' mother, Terry, had a big conflict with the director, and I had to come to mediate. Now I have fired the director and I am working as a director, but Terry is still unwilling to cooperate. Brooke said that I will ask you to mediate , her mother listens to you more."

"But I'm still on leave. I'm here in London with my girlfriend."

"Don't worry about it, Ronald. I invested money in your film without asking a word, and also helped you sell overseas theaters. Now my 500 million big production has problems, and you have to come to help Do me a favor.

I beg you, this is a big production that will go down in history.Now I have encountered a problem that no one but you can solve, you want to come.It's not just doing me a favor, it's doing the art of cinema a huge favor. "

The sound quality of long-distance calls was not good, and under the humming electrical noise, Minahan's voice seemed extraordinarily anxious.

"Oops, well, I'm off to Israel as soon as possible."

After returning to his seat, Ronald saw another lady sitting next to Helen, with a wicked smile.This kind of smile generally appears on the faces of male actors, and it is strange and fresh for women to smile like this.

"Helen, Minahan asked me to solve the problem. His 500 million big production has encountered a big problem, and I have to help him. After all, he invested in my movie without asking anything."

"Oh, okay. Anyway, you were going back to America anyway." Helen turned her head and kissed Ronald, "Let me introduce you, this is Ms. Faye Dunaway, who played the villain in the movie."

"Hello," Ronald said hello to her, reaching out his hand.

"That Minahan you're talking about? Is it that pig?" Dunaway made a pig's head grimace.

"Um, Minahan Golan from Cannon Pictures. If you mean he's on the fat side, I can't argue with that."

"Yeah, that's the fat pig. He tricked me into playing 'The Wicked Lady'. It was supposed to be a heroine movie. After I finished filming the part, he didn't tell me, and secretly added a lot of sex to the supporting roles. This drama can't even get an R rating now."

Faye Dunaway made a nasty gesture, "Uh... bah..."

"Um, I don't know about that." Ronald imagined Minahan's personality, and it was not impossible for him to cheat and play some pornographic scenes.

"No, you know. I heard Helen say that you are also an exploitation film, how could I not know about your tricks."

Ronald put down the napkin heavily. He didn't want to quarrel with the main supporting roles in Helen's movie, so he left in two days, so as not to let the relationship between Helen and this crazy woman become stiff.

Ronald got up to get some bread and bacon, and when he came back Dunaway had already left the table.

"What happened to her?" Ronald pointed to his brain and asked Helen.

"Every morning...and sometimes on the set in the afternoon..." Helen leaned into Ronald's ear, telling him that Faye Dunaway had a habit of abusing drugs and her temper was not very stable on set. We all know her "hobby".

After breakfast, Helen started her daily exercise and rehearsal with other actors.

Ronald wandered around the Pinewood studio alone. He was really bored and began to read the interviews with directors. There were many interviews with great directors in it to pass the time.

When Helen came back from fencing in the afternoon, Ronald helped her change her clothes graciously, and the two walked along the path in the pine forest while talking about parting.

"I'm going to Israel soon. I really want to see you again soon. It took so long for you to shoot Supergirl. I really miss you." Ronald brushed Helen's blonde hair , said softly.

"Actors are like this, I miss you too." Helen hid her face in Ronald's chest.

"When you finish filming Supergirl and go back to New York, we'll have time together." Ronald patted Helen on the back.

"Will it? In fact, we just need to seize the moment. I like you, and you like me. Isn't that good?"

"Of course." Ronald looked down into Helen's eyes, "Why do you think so?"

"No, Ronald. Of course I like you. I just don't think it's so easy to be together in the showbiz. You see, we have been separated for so long before we have a chance to get together. As long as we have treated each other sincerely, it is very easy." OK."

Helen's big blue eyes flickered very movingly, but her words were not so beautiful.

Ronald frowned, and she didn't know who had instilled the fallacy in her. It's just a matter of seizing the moment. If you like each other, of course you have to be together, and then get married and have children. It's not easy to find someone who really likes each other.

"Of course, how about I prove it to you." Ronald picked Helen up and walked towards the hotel.

"Hahaha, I believe in you, I believe in you... put me down."

After the passion in the evening, Ronald sat on the sofa with his arms around Helen, "Why did you say that this afternoon? Is there something?"

"You know my parents are divorced. They were so loving in the past, but they finally broke up. I always feel that a good relationship has a shelf life, and it won't last long. You see Faye Dunaway, Mia Farrow, they are all actresses , and did not go to the end with the original husband."

"But there are also model couples in the entertainment industry, right?"

"I don't know, anyway, if you have someone else you love, you must tell me frankly." Helen stroked Ronald's lips with her hand, and said slowly.

"I only like you, Helen. Love is not like moonlight. There are full moons and new moons. It can also last for a long time."

"Hmm..." Helen's answer turned into a passionate kiss.

……

"I have to go to Israel to save the field. You stay here obediently. After I finish my work, I will come to London to visit." The two spent a few days happily together, and it was time for Ronald to leave for the airport.

He and Helen embraced and expressed their affection to each other.

"The exercise is over, don't go on a diet, I like your body very much."

"Um……"

"Stop thinking about Shakespeare's lines, and listen to the director."

"Um……"

"Also, any dangerous actions must be done by a stand-in."

"Um……"

"So, that's it? Goodbye?" Ronald said all he wanted to ask.

"Well, I'll wait until you come to see me." Helen kissed Ronald and helped him open the car door.

Ronald waved to Helen, and CAA's assistant drove on the road.

Helen stood by the side of the road, touched her lips, thought about it, and turned her head back to the set. "Supergirl" is about to start filming. I heard from the director that the shooting of special effects shots is very time-consuming, and it may take more than half a year to shoot here.

"Have you found my luggage?" Ronald looked for his luggage at the airport information desk.

"Sir, I found it. He was mistakenly assigned to the previous stop on your flight. Please sign and collect it here."

"I finally found it, and I don't need to go to Israel to buy clothes anymore."

The plane took off and flew to Tel Aviv, Israel.
