Chapter 21: Winning Allies(2/2)
One serving.
There are two potential supporters.
Ronald adjusted his beard in the mirror. The beard grew too fast and often needed to be trimmed.
The next person I went out to meet was the most important supporter, the original author of the novel, Cameron Crowe. As an author, if he could get him to attend the casting meeting and be there when he needed to support his decision, that would be 2
:1, Even if Art Linson supports Heckerling, he still has room for maneuver.
Cameron Crowe lives with his girlfriend Nancy Wilson, the lead singer and lyricist of the rock band "Heart". Crowe met while working as a reporter for Rolling Stone magazine
Nancy, the two soon fell in love.
Ronald proposed to Cameron Crowe that he needed his support in casting. Moreover, the other party was also interested in filming the movie and could learn from the whole process on the set.
"I can support you, but I don't want the character in my novel to be chosen by an unsuitable candidate because of a power struggle, Ronald." Cameron Crowe hesitated again and again, but still put forward his own conditions.
"Of course, this is also my idea. The fit between the character and the actor's temperament is the most important guarantee for the success of the movie. I have worked in a New York casting studio and I know these things very well. Only when the conditions of all parties are balanced, you can
support me."
Cameron Crowe and his girlfriend looked at each other and were about to speak.
Ronald saw their stares at each other and couldn't help but take a look at Nancy Wilson. She was a blond sweetheart with very photogenic big eyes and neat white teeth.
"Nancy, I think you look very good. Can you come and play a guest role on the set?"
"Me? I can't act in movies." Nancy was a little interested.
"You don't have to act, just be yourself. Cameron will tell you the role, a role that is very similar to you."
"Which character?" Cameron also became interested.
"When Brad put on a pirate costume to deliver food, the beautiful woman in the sports car next to him laughed at him."
"That looks a lot like you, Nancy." Cameron said with a smile.
In the script, this character is a beautiful woman who drives a convertible sports car. When she saw Brad's strange pirate costume, he parked parallel to his food delivery truck and looked up and down. At first, Brad thought it was the beautiful woman admiring him, but he almost didn't.
It will be wrong.
Such a role was not too difficult for a girlfriend to play. Cameron Crowe was a little moved when he saw Nancy, so he happily agreed.
The third ally is a very solid choice.
At the same time, Amy Heckerling was not idle either.
"I see that Ronald has been very busy these past two days and has not caused any trouble to me. He seems very confident that he can make a good film."
"Have you communicated with Azov about the music? This is a worthy achievement."
"I have found someone to negotiate the rights, but I also need to have my own people for casting."
"Which role do you like? Which actor? Honey."
"The heroine Stacey and her best friend Linda, these two characters, after I read through the script, are the axis of the entire film. All people and things emanate from her."
