"Hi, Ronnie. How was your trip?" Helen Slater drove more than two hours from her mother's home in Long Island to Teterboro Airport, the closest business airport to Manhattan, to pick up Ronald.

"It's very good. The business jet flies to the airport in New Jersey. It's very close to Manhattan, and the noise on the plane is very light. I finished reading a novel." Ronald waved the "Nothing Is Forever" in his hand to Helen.

, smiled and hugged Helen.

"It would be great if you parked at JFK Kennedy Airport. It's very close to Long Island. It was troublesome for my car to drive here. I almost stalled on the road." Helen wanted to help put Ronald's suitcase into the trunk of her car.

, and then personally drove Ronald to the hotel.

"Business jets are parked at commercial airports, and the parking fees are too expensive." Ronald said to himself, "I am not your father Gerald. I have the backing of PBS TV station to pay for it."

"Miss Slater, I have arranged a pick-up car for Ronald. You can give me the car key and I will have someone drive it back to your home or hotel tomorrow." Little Bud, who came on the same plane as Ronald, said

He said to Helen with a smile. He took Helen's car keys and put them in an envelope and sealed it.

"Oh, Bud, you have helped me a lot. I have been worried about what if the car stalls on the way back." Helen became happy.

A black Lincoln stopped in front of several people. A driver got out of the car and helped Ronald put his luggage.

"You go back to Staten Island for a few days, and we'll take you with us when we go back." Ronald smiled and waved to little Bud, and got into the Lincoln luxury car with Helen.

"Bye...little Bud", Helen was friendly to everyone.

"You come back this time..."

"Have you been recently..."

The two people in the back seat of the car spoke to each other at the same time.

"You speak first……"

"You speak first……"

Ronald held Helen's hand and smiled, "I came back this time to work on the video tape factory and to look for the next project. In addition, I also have a small task to help choose the heroine for Paramount's new film.

"Why? Do you want to direct?"

"No, they said that the female characters I photographed have special characteristics and they just trusted my vision."

Ronald talked about the selection of the heroine for "The Robbery of Pear Blossoms".

"This role sounds interesting." Helen Slater heard that it was a film advocating for women's rights and began to make some insinuations.

"The script is in my briefcase," Ronald smiled and took out the script and handed it to Helen.

"What have you been busy with in New York lately?"

"Well, Helen (Hunter) and I are busy with drama club affairs, and the film project still needs more time. Hey... this is... a victim. One, two, three, four... ninety."

Helen turned on the reading light in the back seat and couldn't wait to read the script, but she soon lost interest.

There are a total of more than a dozen scenes in the script about flashbacks and memories of the crime scene. This movie is aiming for an R-rating, mainly these scenes. If they were all shot, it would take five minutes.

Helen is not averse to appropriately explicit scenes, but such a heavy-handed performance is a psychological difficulty for any actress.

"If you direct it, I can still act, but..."

"Why?" Ronald was quite happy to hear what Helen said. Not to mention Helen's acting skills, it is actually not able to support the role in this movie. Moreover, even if Director Ronald asked her and Mai

Gillis is too good to play with...

"You are a director who treats actors very well. We actresses will not worry about being cheated by the director and being edited in a mess."

Ronald and Helen looked at each other and smiled.

The situation she mentioned is not uncommon in Hollywood. Many directors coax actresses to shoot exciting scenes, such as Phoebe Cates, the "fast-paced" actress Ronald has worked with before.

In her debut film, the director and producer used coercion and inducement to trick her into acting in a lot of scenes that "wouldn't be edited into the finished film". In the end, they were all edited into the final copy, making it look like an X-rated film.

.

The nudity scenes in Ronald's "Fast Times" were for Phoebe to make her own choices, and the final scenes were not extravagant and were within the scope of the plot. After the performance, Phoebe Cates was

It received positive reviews from critics and audiences, and eventually got the leading role in two of Spielberg's films.

Therefore, shooting nude scenes is something that actresses have to face every day in Hollywood. At this time, having a trustworthy director is one of the biggest reasons for actresses to agree to star.

Lincoln drove into the Essex Hotel, which is adjacent to Central Park in Manhattan. This hotel was specially selected by Ronald's agent. It is a very old hotel with many business people and no entertainment reporters.

Ronald and Helen entered the hotel, and the front desk professionally helped Ronald check in under a pseudonym. A concierge in a tuxedo style took them to the top-floor suite with their luggage.

"Well, how are you preparing for your new movie? Are there any difficulties?" Ronald hugged Helen and kissed her as soon as he walked in. Helen has been trying to produce her own films recently and has not accepted any new scripts.

"I have tried it myself and realized that it is really difficult to attract investment in movies. I admire you even more. It seems that everyone is rushing to make movies with you."

Helen put her hands around Ronald's neck. During the contacts with several investors arranged by her father Gerald, they all hinted or made it clear that if Helen could get Ronald into the game, money would not be a problem.

"But I want to handle all the problems before and after a movie by myself, so I don't want you to help me on this matter."

After all, with a father who is very well-connected in the TV station, it is not impossible for Helen to achieve the feat of producing her own film. But without Ronald's intervention, she still has to have a lot of discussions and negotiations with investors. They are interested in a slightly famous person.

The level of trust in female celebrities is limited.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If, and I mean if, you need any help, don't forget to call me." Ronald knew that Helen Slater had her own ideas about the movie.

In her opinion, it is not good to persuade her about this kind of thing, so she should let reality teach her.

"I won't forget it." Helen smiled and kissed Ronald. It felt really good.

"By the way, do you think Helen (Hunter) has any hope of getting this role? She doesn't have much acting right now?"

After happily reuniting, the two of them relieved some of their lovesickness. Helen suddenly remembered the heroine of the movie "The Robbery of Pear Blossoms" and began to think about her best friend.

"Of course, but I'm worried..." Ronald rubbed Helen's blond hair. Helen's views just now were indeed very representative. Any actress with a promising acting career would be reluctant to take on such a role.

"Let me ask her, when are you free?"

"I have to go to the video tape factory tomorrow morning to deal with the video tape production contract for my movie. Well, the day after tomorrow. If she is interested, let's talk."

"Okay, how about we go see Broadway tomorrow night?"

"Okay, what's the new drama?"

"There are a lot of good things to see, just listen to me." Helen is very familiar with the new Broadway plays. She is very familiar with the actors on the theater stage. The actors' troupe she is busy with also often goes to watch Shakespeare.

Performances by leading theater companies such as the company.

"I will obey your arrangements..." Ronald's hands began to wander around Helen's waist again.

"You're so great..." After this time, Helen relaxed wholeheartedly. Ronald was still as obsessed with her body as before. The two of them did not feel alienated because of the separation. They still needed each other so much when they met.

.

"Which actor do you want to meet this time?" Lying in Ronald's arms, once again confirming each other's feelings, Helen was no longer so careful and directly asked the question she wanted to ask.

"Rosanna Arquette, who has acted in movies with Madonna before. There is also someone named Kristen Davis..."

"Is it Rosanna?" Helen smiled.

"What, you know him?"

"Her mother is Jewish. I know her and her sister well. Do you want me to call you?"

"That's fine. I asked Richard to make an appointment with them. If you can chat with me in private, we might be able to tell the truth."

"Okay." Helen got up from the bed and dialed Rosanna Arquette's phone number, "Hello, Rosanna, this is Helen.

I heard that you are going to audition for the leading role in Paramount's new movie? Who did I hear that from? Hehe, it's not Ronald. He wants to meet with you for a chat, and I just mentioned our relationship.

He...he is right next to me, do you want..."

"Hello, Rosanna, this is Ronald." Ronald picked up the phone receiver handed over by Helen, "Okay, we will meet and chat then, and we can talk about whatever we have in mind."

"Do you know this Kristen Davis too?" Ronald looked at Helen.

"The name is familiar. Maybe he is a newcomer to the troupe? Let me ask you."

"Okay, I'm going to bed first, I have to go to the video recorder factory tomorrow."

…

"Very good, Michelle, our video tapes have started production, packaging and printing, and I am very satisfied with the quality of the video tapes."

Early the next morning, Ronald drove to the video tape factory in New Jersey very early. His distribution manager Michelle Cannold was already waiting for him in the factory. This was the Weston Film Factory where he worked.

As a video tape production base in the industry, Weston has recently entered the theater market, freeing up a lot of production capacity in this factory.

"Our profit this time is not a problem with the acquisition of this medium-sized video tape factory. For video tapes, the most important cost control is not to stop the production line. If we can achieve full production, the cost will be okay.

Dropped by more than 15%."

"In this case, we need a lot of video sources, and we also need to know which movies sell better in video rental stores." Ronald had the idea of ​​owning his own factory, but the success of his "Dirty Dancing" was a one-time success.

, what film sources will you rely on to maintain full capacity in the future?

The market for video tapes is expanding year by year. Now the annual sales of video recorders around the world have exceeded 10 million units. Following this, the video tape industry has also begun to grow rapidly. The production companies currently engaged in the video tape business in America are sprouting.

The corn grows the same.

In such a market where many people are pouring into it, being able to get some good-selling film sources may be a shortcut to success.

"I think we can look for film sources from about three aspects." Michelle Cannold's main business in Weston is actually making films for direct-to-video release. Compared with theatrical films, he is more interested in them.

A piece of business is actually more familiar.
