Chapter 462: Satisfying the Japanese financial lord(2/2)
talk.
"That's a quote from Roy Rogers, the great Western movie star. He always said Yippee-Ki-Yay, kid."
"Okay, then keep it." Ronald understood the thoughts of this die-hard fan of western movies very well. Besides, this mantra was very smooth and had no impact on the movie, so he agreed.
After dealing with the movie, Ronald did not accept Joel Silver's invitation to attend a party with many bikini girls in his mansion. Instead, he went straight home.
I don't want to mess around with those brainless blonde Bimbo girls on this matter.
Without communication, Ronald always felt like he had paid for it, and Richard and Niceta also warned many times not to be taken advantage of. Since they were famous now, many girls would secretly leave evidence and then ask for benefits.
.
Speaking of which, after gaining some power and fame in the industry, Ronald actually narrowed the scope of choosing female partners. The most suitable ones for him are those female celebrities who are equally matched in the industry, so neither party wants to keep their privacy.
Leaking is the safest option.
"Ronald, did you hear that? Shirley Lansing has a new idea?"
Thinking of her girlfriend in the industry, Kelly McGillis called.
"What's the matter?" Ronald was a little confused when he answered the phone.
"She interviewed Jodie (Foster) but thought she was too fat and wanted Molly Ringwald to play the victim."
"Molly Ringwald, she seems to be fatter, right?" Ronald said directly what was in his heart. John Hughes's muse, the young female star who once led the trend of American girls dyeing their hair red, was acting
After starring in Godard's super bad movie "King Lear", she quickly gained weight. In the newly released "The Pickup Expert", which she collaborated with Robert Downey Jr., her waist became even thicker.
"Shall I talk to Ronald?" Jodie Foster took the phone, "Ms. Lansing doesn't like me, and I don't like her."
It turned out that Jodie Foster never received a second-round interview notice after auditioning for "Pear Blossom". It was in the newspaper that she and Kelly saw the gossip that Molly Ringwald was expected to star.
.
Both female stars felt the malice of Shirley Lansing.
"There's nothing I can do about this." Ronald heard the plea call from the two beauties and thought that he had no say in this project and it was impossible to direct this movie. Jodie Foster's forgotten
The road to stardom seems inevitable.
After Jodie Foster hinted that she could accompany Ronald in exchange, but to no avail, she had to prepare to accept the fact that her acting career was closed.
Fortunately, she is a top student and there are other routes she can take. "It seems that I have to prepare to take the GRE. Several literature and psychology professors at Ivy League universities may still accept me."
"Humph...I'm sorry." McGillis also held Judy's hand. Female celebrities just don't have enough bargaining power for this kind of thing.
…
"Ronald, this is Shirley, do you want to be the director of this movie?"
Early Sunday morning, Ronald was waiting for the new week's box office results for "Dirty Dancing" when he received a call.
When Ronald heard that it was not a box office result, and that this strange woman called him by her own name, as if the whole world should know her, he blurted out: "Shirley Who?"
"Shirley Lansing...L...A...N...S..."
"I know how to spell your name, but I don't know why you called me to see me." Ronald stopped the other party's inexplicable and angry words.
"Do you want to direct 'The Pear Blossom'?" Shirley Lansing didn't waste any time and got straight to the point.
"I don't want to, why...who said I want to..."
"Then don't interfere in the casting..."
"Who the hell got involved..." Ronald cursed.
"You didn't? I was going to invite Molly Ringwald to play the female lead, but you strongly recommended Jodie Foster."
"I don't recommend her, I just think she can audition."
"She is not suitable to play the female victim, she is too fat."
"No, isn't Molly Ringwald fatter?"
"You really still want to intervene."
"I do not want……"
"Anyway, Foster is not suitable to play the female victim at all. The character is a low-level restaurant waitress who is superstitious about astrology and has no college education. And Foster is a top student at Yale."
"No, what happened to astrology? First lady Nancy also believes in it."
"You don't understand. This is a women's film, speaking for the majority of women... In short, neither you nor Ned Tanin can interfere with my project!"
"It's inexplicable. Who you want to find is none of my business."
Ronald hung up the phone.
He increasingly feels that when women are producers, sometimes they are strong for the sake of being strong. I am just introducing Foster to McGillis for the audition. If you don't want to, just don't want to. It's like I'm forcing interference.
You still don’t know what it’s like for me to interfere.
But what was he talking about about Ned Tanin?
"Hey, Ned, what's going on with Shirley Lansing?"
Ronald called Ned Tanin to find out what was going on.
"Hahaha... She wants to use this project to compete with me. I heard that you recommended the child star Jodie Foster. Maybe, maybe, you used your name to reject her idea..."
Like Lansing, Tanin, who is also Jewish, laughed shamelessly on the phone.
"Fuck, you owe me this once, what the hell are you doing with Lansing?"
"I owe you once." Ned Tanning also laughed, "What else is going on? She wants to replace me as the head of Paramount."
"What else is going on? This woman is too ambitious. What are your plans? Stop using my name in vain."
"Actually, I don't dislike ambitious producers, but this matter is a bit complicated. Come and talk with me? Maybe I can make your female companion Foster realize her wish."
"If you don't go, Judy won't be my female companion either."
"Come on, I have some good wine here, and what you are interested in is the Oscar nomination for Best Director next year. Do you want it?"
