Chapter 311 A tool for making money(2/2)
"Hey, there are not many old-school Hollywood gentlemen like you left. I will talk to Tom." Paula Wagner hung up the phone. As long as this matter will not affect the relationship between Tom and Ronald.
Paramount President Sidney Ganis looked at Ronald, eagerly waiting for him to speak.
Ronald also found it funny to see a CEO of the Seventh Company being played like this by a gangster actor, and he no longer tried to be pretentious, "Tom Cruise was also cast in the Edward Scissorhands movie, and now director Burton is leaning towards it."
Cruise, but Tom hopes to change the tragic ending..."
"Shxt!" When Sidney Ganis heard that Tom Cruise and director Tim Burton could not reach an agreement over there, he knew that it would be unlucky to meet Winona Ryder today.
…
"Winona, I promise you that the local conditions for filming will be improved. You can raise any conditions you have..." Sidney Ganis, a big CEO, now put down his body and pitifully asked Winona.
Ryder assures.
After all, changing roles at the last minute would be a huge loss to Paramount. Coppola is also a famous procrastinator. If this domino falls, this sequel will be delayed for who knows how long.
"But my doctor said that I can no longer participate in high-pressure activities such as movie shooting in the near future..." Winona Ryder has black hair and a very distinctive appearance.
"Bitch..." Sidney Ganis cursed in his heart and turned back to look at Ronald.
"Winona, let's talk in private?" Ronald asked Sidney Ganis to go out first, and then Johnny Depp looked at Ronald with a ruffian-like, attacking and warning look.
But Ronald's persistent vision, tall figure, and temperament of practicing fighting skills all year round still made him quit.
But the footsteps stopped when they reached the door, which was ajar and shaking slightly.
"boom!"
"Ah..."
Ronald closed the door and ignored the scream from behind. He looked at Venola Ryder and said:
"If you still want to maintain a good reputation in Hollywood, I can guarantee that no one will mention this episode again, and Director Coppola will be the same as before... no, he will give you better conditions and be more patient than before.
guidance.
All conditions can be improved, let's just pretend this never happened..."
"I..." Winona Ryder looked at Ronald. She couldn't tell a lie to this noble person who supported her. Looking at the sincerity in his eyes, she thought of him helping her in her debut novel Heather Sisters.
I went to a film festival and had the opportunity to come to the set to tell myself about The Godfather Part III. I really felt like a big cousin in the family...
Winona Lai's heart felt hot and she was about to agree.
"Winona, are you okay? Do you feel flustered? I'm worried about you..." Johnny Depp's voice came from outside the door.
"I'm sorry, Ronald, Mr. Li, about my physical condition..."
"Okay, you and Mr. Coppola go and apologize..." Ronald thought to himself that this was the end of the day. He knew that there was no way to persuade the woman in love, so he turned around and opened the door to leave.
"Hmph..." Seeing the smile on the face of the little ruffian at the door, a restrained person like Ronald couldn't help but express his anger.
"I really should break my legs..." Ronald thought to himself. This method would be destructive to the reputation of this young actress. More importantly, if she succeeds, it will give her new life in the entertainment industry.
There is a wrong experience that you can get what you want as long as you are clever.
…
"Ronald", that night, Coppola also returned to Hollywood and was the first to visit Ronald.
"Nicita has told me what you mean. Julia Roberts has agreed to star, but her schedule conflicts and she has to wait four weeks. You can only convince Paramount..."
"I am already very grateful... After so many years in Hollywood, I have only made a few real friends. George (Lucas) now only concentrates on his special effects. Now the only person in Hollywood who can help me talk is you.
Already.
We Italians value family. When I make movies, the whole family is involved. For example, Taliyah (who plays the Godfather’s daughter, Coppola’s sister) and my father (who composes the music for The Godfather), you are like my family members.
I will never forget this friendship..."
Coppola talked a lot about how it was not easy to work hard in Hollywood with only the support of his family. He might have said more, but Sidney Ganis from Paramount was also here.
Ronald has done everything he should do, and is ready to leave, leaving the two parties here to talk about things.
"Ronald... don't leave!" Both of them called to Ronald. In order to avoid a quarrel, they still had to act as a middleman.
"Julia's schedule cannot be shortened, we can't afford to wait, Frances..."
Sidney Ganis's meaning is very clear. Now The Godfather III is waiting for the rice to be cooked, and there can be no further delay. Otherwise, the shooting budget will exceed 50 million, and the next Heaven's Gate will be their turn.
"But we need stars like Julia..." Coppola said the producer's line instead.
"Don't you like all these actresses?" Sidney Ganis brought some audition photos of several actresses, some of whom were eliminated before and some who were added later.
"If it weren't for young acting representatives like Julia and Winona, we would have to find a real Italian actor, otherwise ordinary actresses wouldn't be able to play Mary..."
Coppola took one look at it and sternly refused. Mary and the protagonist Vincent had an evil relationship, which was a taboo between cousins. Only a sensitive and delicate actress like Winona Ryder could pull off such a scene well.
Guaranteed, it turned out that the casting choice was correct.
But Julia Roberts... Ronald touched his chin. It was sensitive enough, but delicate... She really couldn't tell. What was Coppola's plan? For Julia Roberts, she is destined to become famous after "Steel Magnolias"
reputation?
"Italians, there are some here too..." Sidney Ganis couldn't stand it anymore, Master Coppola, just choose one.
"Well, how are her acting skills? There is something special about the role of Mary..." Coppola was still picky.
"This man also took pictures of beautiful women that Ronald participated in. Look at it..." Sidney Ganis handed over the photo.
Ronald took a look and saw that it was Laura San Giacomo who played Kitty, the companion of Julia Roberts and her partner on the street in Pretty Woman.
This role is a bit difficult to play, but the performance is not bad. Moreover, Laura San Giacomo's face looks Italian at first glance, which seems to be very suitable for the role of Mary.
"Her acting skills...are passable..."
"So, can I audition?" Coppola looked at Ronald.
Ronald saw some fatigue and helplessness in Coppola's eyes, as if to say, has the Godfather sequel reached the point of being picked on now? But his eyes were very complicated, as if there was something he didn't understand.
