Chapter 386 Lucky Actress(2/3)

Tom Cruise was also swept under the rug by reports of "The Brats" at first, but once "Top Gun" came out, no one regarded him as a member of the "The Brats" anymore.

"How is he doing now?" Ronald couldn't help but feel that the actor's industry really depends on luck and there is a lot of pressure. In addition, many actors have emotional and sensitive personalities, and they are prone to psychological problems.

"Arrange a rehabilitation center for him. So, what do you propose?" Executive producer Joseph Farrow shook his wrist, revealing a gold watch under the sleeves of his close-fitting handmade shirt.

Ronald recognized it as a Rolex, but he didn't understand the model number. He also flicked his wrist, revealing his Casio electronic watch, "It's still early, how about we go to the editing room to discuss it in detail?"

"My idea is, if there is a chance, I can ask Andrew McCarthy to reshoot these close-up reaction shots. See if the effect can be better. If there is no chance, delete it. And then reduce some of the scenes where he and Cattrall are in the same frame, especially

A total of half a minute of awkward shots may be lost, but the number of times when the audience is acting strangely can be reduced by five or six times.”

Ronald was on the editing machine, fast forwarding and rewinding, found a few shots that he thought were not good, and gave suggestions to the director.

Reshooting this kind of thing must be a helpless last choice because it is unlikely that the actors will return to the state they were in when filming. So Ronald only selected a few close-ups of single people to make suggestions.

"Hmph..." Director Michael Gottlieb turned the knob on the editing table back and forth many times, and he reluctantly admitted that Ronald's plan was right.

"What do you think, Joseph?"

"Is that all? I have no objection. You are a professional, Ronald."

"Hey, hey..." Ronald covered it up, Joseph Farrow said this, as if to imply that director Michael Gottlieb was an amateur.

"By the way, where are the opening and ending theme songs? Let's take a look too." Ronald thought of his dream, as if he had dreamed of a song, and it sounded good.

"Here", director Michael Gottlieb found the recordings of the opening and ending theme songs, hung up the tape recorder and played them for Ronald and the others to listen to.

"shxt!, you should have put this song in the preview copy." Ronald confirmed that this was the song he had dreamed about. The overall melody of the song is very catchy, and the voices of the two singers

It's also very magnetic, with a bright and upbeat rhythm, and it might become a good song on the charts.

"You know what? I think we should find a singer to shoot a music video and then play it repeatedly on MTV. Just shoot some scenes of the singer and edit them together with the movie clips."

Ronald is in a good mood, and there is a popular song at the end, which will increase the number of viewers who come to the movie to listen to the song.

He shared some of his experiences and what he could tell with the two people present.

"I think this is a good idea." Director Michael Gottlieb nodded frequently.

"Ha, let's do it. I'll let the distribution and marketing department increase the budget." Joseph Farrow was very happy, and he had more excuses to increase the budget.

"Who would have thought that a 47-year-old female rock singer, Grace Slick, could still sing this kind of song." Joseph Farrow sighed.

"Will a lot of resources be invested in marketing before the movie is released? For example, will the protagonist have any TV interviews? Or exclusive interviews with newspapers and media?"

Seeing that Ronald was in a good mood, he began to give him subtle hints.

"Of course, of course. I will arrange it." Joseph Farrow understood what Ronald meant. "For the TV interview, Fox will try to find the best opportunity to appear. Andrew McCarthy also has to go to the rehabilitation center, so we will put all the

resources are devoted to Miss Cattrall. After all, she is the reason why many viewers go to the cinema.

The newspaper interview will be done by Miss Cattrall, who will be shared with Michael. After the film is released in February next year, it will depend on whether additional resources will be added."

"Kim would be happy." Ronald shook hands with Joseph Farrow.

"She deserves it. We all see her talent and hard work."

"Let's go. Mr. King Farrow has agreed to give you a lot of opportunities for TV talk shows. Just before it is released next year."

Ronald came out and waved Cattrall, who was waiting anxiously, to come over and told her the good news.

"Really? I..." Cattrall happily kissed Ronald on the spot, and then hugged Ronald tightly.

"You have to get used to it. This movie is well shot and you will have many interview opportunities. If necessary, I can find a public relations company to give you some media training."

"You're so kind, Ronald." Cattrall hugged him a little tighter, letting Ronald fully feel his "gratitude."

"What a beauty." Ronald also became more energetic. He picked up Cattrall's coat from the chair, put it on her, and then helped her take her blond hair out of the collar.

He put his hands around Cattrall's waist. There was a warmth in the long silk skirt. This woman is really born with passion.

"Let's go." Ronald held Cattrall in his arms and walked toward the door. The texture on his hands made him distracted.

"Is my waist very strong? In order to shoot this movie, I kept up my daily fitness habit after filming. So what you see now is my best condition." Cattrall said in Ronald's ear

while whispering softly.

"Who can bear this?" Ronald made a buzzing sound as a stream of blood rose from his ears to the top of his head.

"During the filming, the costume designer even praised me that my figure is better than those six sculptures."

"Huh?" Ronald heard this and suddenly turned to look at Cattrall. Cattrall, who was caught off guard, twisted his waist and leaned against Ronald. His eyes were as spiritual as at the beginning of the movie, as if

Asking, "Did you feel it?"

"No, wait a minute, where are your sculptures?"

"It's in the warehouse of 20th Century Fox, I don't know. There are six sculptures in different postures. There are sitting postures, standing postures, and half-sitting postures looking back. They are all specially made for a certain lens.

"

"You'd better take them all back," Ronald reminded Cattrall in his ear.

"Why?" Cattrall was puzzled, "The house where I live is small and I can't fit it in."

"You don't want to know that after the movie is released, you will become famous, and some men will bring home those sculptures that look very like you, and then..."

"Oh..." Cattrall figured it out and quickly took Ronald to the warehouse to get his sculpture back.

"One, two, three, four...why are there only four?"

Sure enough, when they arrived at the 20th Century Fox production warehouse, only four of the six statues made for Cattrall by Ronald's friend Dai Young were still on the floor.

"I don't know, I'm just a custodian, working the day shift every day." The warehouse custodian is a white man with an unshaven beard and the smell of beer in his mouth.

"Okay, we have to take away the rest. If you have any news about the two missing ones, you have to inform us."

"This is the property of 20th Century Fox." The custodian was still reluctant. Such life-like statues are rarely seen in movie props.

"If you have any questions, call Joseph Farrow." Ronald asked Cattrall to sign for confirmation, then borrowed a trolley and transported the sculpture to the parking lot.

Little Bud was in the Mercedes-Benz and quickly came out to take over, "Oh, is this the statue of Miss Cattrall? It's very beautiful."

"Thank you, Bud. I want to take it home. Please send it to my apartment. This is the address. The concierge will take care of it."

"No problem, I will hand over to the concierge." Little Bud put the three statues in the back seat and passenger seat of the car, and then fastened their seat belts.

"Let's put this in the back seat of my Ferrari." Ronald held the last statue, the half-sitting one with his body forward and his eyes looking back. He placed it on the back seat of the Ferrari and adjusted it.

Take a stance.

Cattrall got in the car and Ronald took her to the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

The doorman from the Hilton Hotel came over and opened the door, "Good afternoon, Mr. Li."

"Hello", Ronald got out of the car first, took Cattrall's hand, and waited at the door.

"Miss, won't you come down?" The doorman said to the statue in the back seat, "Oh, shxt, this is a dummy."

"Hahaha" Ronald and Cattrall both laughed.

"Thank you. In one hour, bring us a bottle of champagne and a plate of strawberries." Ronald took out a tip of twenty dollars and handed it to the doorman, and then helped put the statue on the sofa.

"Okay, sir, thank you, sir." The doorman closed the door happily and left.

After closing the door and turning around, Ronald found that Cattrall had taken off his coat, was wearing a red dress, and was also sitting on the sofa.

Cattrall also leaned forward and looked back at Ronald, "Which one do you think is sexier, me or the statue?"

Ronald felt a little dazed for a moment, as if there were really two Cattralls in front of him.

This scene is a bit too similar to the scene in the movie where Cattrall transforms from a statue into a real person.

"Jin..." Ronald pulled Cattrall up, "You don't have to be like this. In my eyes, you will always be a diligent, brave, and very talented actress."

"I like hearing you say that, go on." Cattrall hugged Ronald, and a warm current flowed into his heart if he was hugged by Ronald's palm.

"You have a good figure and are very beautiful, but in the opening mummy scene, the audience was conquered by your temperament without even seeing your face. This is rare for an actress."

"Oh..., Ronald." Cattrall became more and more happy as he listened. He grabbed Ronald's hair and scratched it, and then jerked his head back, feeling dizzy.

"Can I see you again?" Cattrall felt very strong after working out. She was lying on the bed drinking champagne and strawberries. The two aromas mixed together, smelled particularly good and made people feel happy.

"Of course, you know, I appreciate your performance in the movie. You can call my agent at any time in the future. I am usually very busy. If you have anything, just talk to Niceta or Richard."

Ronald knew what Cattrall meant. The contract between the two was about to expire, and the two of them had their own projects to be busy with. Cattrall liked Ronald's performance and wanted to capture this young man.

Big blockbuster director.

"Don't worry, I won't harass you. I'm just afraid that I won't forget you in the future." Cattrall picked a strawberry with good quality and put it into Ronald's mouth.

"Hmm..." Ronald's mouth, which was chewing strawberries, was sealed by Cattrall again, and a scent accompanied by the champagne came over.



On the second day, the internal test screening score of "Brilliant" was given to Ronald.

Out of a total score of ten, more than one hundred 20th Century Fox employees gave it a score of 8.3.

"What kind of level does this score count in internal screenings?" Ronald didn't understand the scoring standards for internal screenings, so he approached his agent Niceta for advice.

"The specific standard is not clear, but it is roughly equivalent to EMA score from b to b. To give you a reference, Emilio Estevez's new film 'Wisdom' was screened internally at Fox and only received a 6.2

Fraction."
