"One source is that Daydream shoots his own movies specifically for the video market. They are not released in theaters, so we can use some low-cost equipment and scripts. As long as the genre is right, they can sell well."

Ronald nodded. He had also watched it in the video rental store these days. Many viewers came because they actually wanted to kill time with family and friends on the weekends, so horror movies and comedies sold well, regardless of their quality.

"The second source is some Cult movies with fans. These fans like movies with a narrow audience, but they are very loyal. As long as the video tape can be published, they will spontaneously follow them."

"Like The Rocky Horror Show?" Ronald thought of the scene-within-a-scene during the filming of "Famous". Indeed, it doesn't take much to have enough years to watch a cult classic at midnight.

With more publicity, fans will buy it themselves.

"It's like The Rocky Horror Show." Michel Cannold is familiar with this movie. He also went to the cinema to see it. "The third source is some of the top-selling Sleeping Beauty movies at the box office. At that time, many audiences because of

I haven’t seen the original version due to schedule and promotion, but now you can see it in video stores. It’s a good deal to spend three dollars to catch up or rewatch it.”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Very good, you make a plan, and after our Dirty Dancing video goes on sale, we will start preparing for this business line."

Michelle Cannold smiled and agreed. He still had some old connections in Weston, and now he was purchasing an idle production line in Weston at the right price. As long as he could find the right film source, this area would become his business in White.

A solid source of profit and power for Daydream Pictures.

…

Cannold went to prepare for a big fight with confidence, while Ronald took the car back to Manhattan.

Agent Richard arrived here early, contacted Kristen Davis, and talked with Ronald about the "Pear Blossom Robbery".

"Director Ronald, can I ask, will you direct this movie?"

Kristen Davis is an actress in her early 20s and has no real film experience. However, she is a graduate of Rutgers University. After reading part of the script, she analyzed the background of the heroine and asked Ronald

It seems to have good skills.

In addition, her appearance is very good, which is suitable for film and television drama shooting. For the movie "The Robbery of Pear Blossoms", it is also a good choice if a newcomer is cast.

"No, I'm just helping Paramount talk to you. You know, this protagonist needs a special actor, and we have encountered some difficulties. If you are willing."

"I'm afraid not. If you were the director, I think any actress would jump on the chariot without hesitation. But..."

"Okay, I know what you mean. Good luck."

Kristen Davis comes from a well-off family, and her stepfather is a university professor. Moreover, during the chat, Ronald also learned that after graduating from college, she had her own yoga studio in New York and earned a good income. She was not the usual high school graduate who works part-time in a restaurant.

The actors in Waitress are comparable.

The same goes for another candidate, Rosanna Arquette, who would not be willing to play such a role if Ronald was not a director.

"Dirty Dancing" is Ronald's word-of-mouth guarantee in front of all Hollywood actresses.

For such a small production, there are a hundred reasons for female actors to perform revealing scenes to attract the audience.

But the actresses in "Dirty Dancing", Jennifer Gray and Cynthia Rhodes, were well protected by Ronald. There were only beautiful love scenes and no excessive sex scenes. Now both of them are worth rising and have film appointments.

Continuously.

Hollywood actresses all feel that the two of them have won the lottery. Such a movie not only presents a beautiful plot that the audience loves to watch, but also creates characters and gains fans, without those revealing scenes.

The audiences who love to watch are all housewives and working girls. There are not many middle-aged male viewers who go to the movies specifically for the exposed scenes of actresses.

Ronald's dividends to actors and staff are also widely spread in the industry. Such a thing about gaining both fame and fortune, even if the actresses give money to others, they will also pay for it.

But if Ronald is not the director and he is not the producer, hey, aren't there enough repetitive stories in Hollywood? Being tricked into filming some explicit scenes is not bad. Many women have lost their lives and money.

It’s not like there are no actors.

"Sorry, Kelly. I've talked to both of them, but neither of them is willing. In the past two days, I have also met with an actress named Helen Hunt. It is said that she also has certain acting skills. She is from the Actors Theater Company on Broadway here in New York.

people.

Well, don’t be too discouraged, everything will turn around.”

Ronald called Kelly McGillis and reported the progress of contacting actress candidates. The other party's disappointment on the phone was still palpable, but Ronald was unwilling to direct such a movie, and McGillis was also unwilling to direct such a movie.

understand.

…

"Helen", the Lincoln car drove to Central Park near Helen's father's home, where Ronald and Helen Slater made an appointment to go to Broadway to see a new play performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Next to Helen Slater is her best friend Helen Hunt.

"You guys talk first." The place where Slater met was a cafe, and she asked Ronald and Hunter to discuss the movie first.

"How's it going?" Within ten minutes of chatting, Ronald came over and took Slater off. They were rushing to the famous Music Box Theater at the junction of Broadway and Forty-fifth Street.

"It's the same old thing," Ronald was already discouraged. I'm afraid no sane actress would agree to this kind of movie plot.

"Let's go to the theater first."

Helen Slater couldn't say she was sorry that Ronald had not come to an agreement with Hunter. Seeing that Ronald looked a little frustrated, she quickly introduced a new play she had chosen.

"Wait a moment, the gift I arranged should be here." Ronald grabbed Helen Slater and smiled at Hunter who was watching the theater together.

"What gift? Is it for me?" Slater smiled happily. Today is not an anniversary, and Ronald can still think of giving a gift.

"Richard", Ronald saw a BMW car driving over, and the person getting out of the car was his agent Richard, and he quickly stepped forward to say hello.

"The keys and documents are all in the box in front of the passenger seat."

"Thank you", Ronald patted the other person's shoulder and thanked him for the arrangements he made for him.

"Oh, is this your gift?" Hunter walked up, walked around the red BMW, and looked at Slater with a change in his eyes.

"Yes, yesterday Helen went to the airport to pick me up. The car almost broke down on the highway. I think for safety's sake, I should get a new car." Ronald took Helen Slater's hand and handed the key to her.

Her, let her get into the driver's seat.

Buzz…

As soon as Helen turned on the ignition, the engine roared softly and calmly. Then Helen gently put it into gear, and the car started smoothly.

"Very good, the documents and insurance are all here. Just go and go through the formalities." Ronald opened the drawer in front of the passenger seat and looked at all the documents.

"Sit tight." Helen stepped on the accelerator, and the car started to speed quickly.

"Oh, be careful." Ronald was frightened by the pressure coming from the backrest.

"Hahaha, I'm a New York girl, we all drive like this." Helen turned the steering wheel happily. In New York, where everyone competes for traffic lights and parking spaces, having such a German imported car is indeed an advantage.

"Here we are." Helen slammed on the brakes, and the car just approached the precious parking space on Broadway.

"Look, this is the play." The three of them got out of the car, and Slater pointed to the large poster at the entrance of the theater and said to Ronald.

Above I saw one man and three women, four stills dressed in ancient aristocratic costumes and wigs.

"What's this about?" Ronald didn't expect that Helen took him to watch a classical drama.

"This is written by the playwright Christopher Hampton, adapted from a 1782 novel about China. After it was staged in London's West End, it was widely praised and won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play. This time I come to

The ones on Broadway are all from the original cast." Helen knew the drama very well.

Ronald heard that it was a Chinese drama, and he was a little disapproving. The Chinese movies he saw did not have any good drama traditions. Especially the post-modern dramas in Cannes, he felt sleepy after watching them.

Embarrassed.

"What's the plot?" he asked quickly.

"It's about a Don Juan-like playboy, the Count Valmont, who, under the arrangement of the Marquise de Meteuil, seduced the fiancée of Count Bastide, the lover who abandoned her, and ruined her reputation to avenge the quarrel with him.

Married lovers.”

"Huh? It sounds good. It fits the three unities of drama." When Ronald heard that it was a plot of conspiracy and polyamorous love, he was so worried that he looked bored.

"By the way, what's the name of this show?"

"Les Liaisons Dangereuses", Helen said in French.

"What?" Ronald felt that his knowledge level was challenged again.

"It means dangerous relationship." Helen reacted and quickly explained in English.
