Chapter 154 Tom Cruises screen debut(2/2)
"Ah, you mean that smile?" Ronald finally understood what Zeffirelli wanted to know.
"The filming process was very difficult, and I even made her cry. In the end, I asked Brooke's close friends to record some private jokes they usually chatted on the phone, and played them to her on a Walkman to achieve that effect.
"
"Is that so?" Zeffirelli's eyes lit up. He had an idea and knew where to start to train Brooke Shields' acting skills.
"Will you come to Kaufman Studio tomorrow? We have a major event and need your help."
Patting Ronald on the shoulder, Zeffirelli turned around and shouted to his assistant, "Get ready to start shooting..."
"You drank too much when you woke up in the morning? You already have an Italian accent," Ronald thought to himself, "Can a director who drinks during filming like this do a good job?"
It turns out that alcohol had little effect on Zeffirelli's directing ability.
Ronald stood in a safe area behind the camera, watching a Tom Cruise scene with Paula Wagner.
Tom mingled with the extras and played football. After a sprint, he got tired and took a break. Then he took off his vest in front of the camera, revealing his strong upper body.
When I heard the male protagonist and his friends discussing how to have a tryst with his girlfriend Jade, he interrupted and talked about his own experience when he was eight years old.
"And Cut."
Zeffirelli's casting was so smooth that he and the director of photography murmured, "This one is passed, let's develop it."
Paula quickly stepped forward to give Tom some water, and Ronald also stepped forward to congratulate Tom Cruise on his successful big screen debut.
"I have been practicing for a long time and have memorized all the lines by heart." Tom Cruise smiled happily. His dream finally came true.
"Tom reads slowly, so I recorded his lines for him and asked him to memorize them by listening to the recording," Paula said beside her.
"Anyway, your performance was very good, very natural." Ronald really thought Tom Cruise's performance was good, and even compared to the leading actor Martin Hewitt next to him.
Of course, Tom Cruise's handsome appearance and hormonal, graceful upper body also contributed a lot.
Perhaps because they spoke a little too loudly, the actor Martin Hewitt looked back at them.
"He is the leading actor in the audition, Martin Hewitt. He was a bartender and valet before." Paula Wagner said quietly. She felt that the image of the leading actor was not as good as Tom Cruise.
