Chapter 371 Turn on the camera during rehearsal(2/2)
On the first day of shooting, except for the dance scene and the most sparkling rehearsal, which was not caught, and the follow-up reshoots were slightly worse, everything else can be said to have gone smoothly.
While Ronald was having dinner on the set, he was talking to Douglas Jr. about adding a portion of the reserve fund.
"No problem, isn't this money just in case? It's very suitable to use here."
"Thanks, buddy."
No problem there for little Douglas.
Ronald took a slice of pizza, picked up a Coke and ate it. He continued to have meetings with the crew to discuss various matters.
"This is an episode from various submissions I collected. Listen to it when you have time..."
Music director Danny Goldberg was in a great sense of crisis because his purchase of old song rights was robbed by broker Jimmy Lehner.
For the three interludes that needed to be newly created, he worked very hard and dumped the demo tapes of dozens of songs that he had collected on the ground.
"Don't be free. We're going to listen now. Please come with Eleanor."
Ronald took a tape recorder and put the first volume in.
Eleanor is the creator of this story. She is very familiar with the music style of that time and has a feel for the situation of each episode. Therefore, Ronald always calls her when choosing music.
The actors, after finishing their meal, were about to start a disco party as usual, but they were attracted by the sound of recorded songs and gathered around.
"Is this an episode that the director plans to use in the movie?"
Many actors are asking about it privately.
Tapes after tapes were put in and then taken out. Ronald and Eleanor's brows slowly furrowed.
These songs may be because I made them in a small way and did not add my name to them, so the songs I found were not very satisfactory.
"None of these are very satisfactory, you have to keep looking." After listening to this, Ronald said to music director Danny Goldberg.
"I'll fly back to Los Angeles right away and continue collecting..." Danny is working very hard now and he doesn't want to be fired now.
"Director, I have written a song. Isn't my character going to sing a song at the resort performance? I think this song is quite suitable."
After a while, Jane Brooke, who played the baby's sister Lisa Houseman, came over specifically to find Ronald with a tape in her hand.
"Hula, Hana... Hula, Hana..."
The tape was put into the recorder, and there was a very strange song in it. Jane Brooke's voice always repeated those few syllables.
"What song is this?"
Eddie couldn't hold it back and spit out a mouthful of Coke.
"Isn't it a witty song that suits Lisa Houseman's character as a silly big sister?"
"Hula, Hana, Allah, Hana, Huna, bai..."
Ronald nodded and smiled, "It's really suitable, and you sing very well." He looked at the screenwriter Eleanor and asked for her opinion.
"It's really good, but it's not suitable for the ending episode." Eleanor felt a little regretful.
"Then it's settled?" Jane Brooke successfully recommended herself and was very happy.
"You can sign a contract with music director Danny Goldberg later, and I will buy it."
"Yeah..." Jane Brooke is completely different from the character Lisa. She is actually a good actress, can sing, and can write her own words. In this movie, letting her play a girl who only knows how to dress up is actually a bit of a humiliation.
.
"Congratulations!" Jane Brooke high-fived several supporting actors, and everyone congratulated her. If her lyrics and music can be used as an episode in the movie, she will receive a long-term residual dividend if the movie is a hit.
Patrick Sweets also saw all this from the side. He walked to the hotel room, picked up the phone and asked the front desk to make a long-distance call to Los Angeles.
It's wife Lisa Niemi at home on the ranch.
