Chapter 34 Thirty-year-old actress(2/2)
"I just...I've never worked for anyone younger than me. Or a woman." Melanie Griffith's expression showed a forced smile. All kinds of unwillingness
They were carefully put away, leaving only a little bit mixed with a professional smile.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Ronald nodded secretly. Demi Moore couldn't make this expression.
It's not entirely due to her acting skills, but Melanie Griffith's age has begun to show on her face. When her expressions change, some small wrinkles and some slightly sagging muscles are all youthful and beautiful.
Demi doesn't have it.
This person's experience made her transform into Tess at this moment. Ronald looked at Julia Taylor, and there was nothing wrong with the old friend's recommendation, except that he had to convince Goldberg, the president of 20th Century Fox.
…
Melanie Griffiths put down the script. She felt that the script was very well written and she could act effortlessly. Maybe it was because the character had many similarities with herself.
In order to come to the audition today, I spent less than half of my savings to buy an affordable high-quality suit. It seemed to have left a good impression on Ronald, and I could clearly see the admiration in his eyes when I walked in.
Opposite the audition table, in addition to Ronald, there was also audition director Julia Taylor, as well as many unknown people (such as Ronald's agent Richard, and Terri, who had been a Wall Street secretary).
Sarah Kate and others came to provide advice.)
"Thank you. If there are further auditions, we will notify you." Ronald smiled and extended his hand to Griffiths.
"Ahem..." Griffiths stretched out her hand and shook Ronald's hand. She felt that her performance was good and Ronald should not be affected by her fight a few years ago.
"She's that girl. It's almost a visceral reaction. She's cute, funny, vulnerable, sexy - everything." When Griffiths walked out the door, Julia Taylor said happily, obviously the actor
Even more suitable than Demi Moore. I feel really happy when the casting director can recommend such an actor.
"It does fit, but I don't know if it will work. The studio will be very disappointed because Melanie is not famous."
Ronald thought more. A big production requires big studios to clear their schedules in advance. Such a large-scale release can only be completed by seven major studios. And big productions require the guarantee of a big star, Melanie
·Griffith's weakness is also obvious, and the audience does not recognize her.
"You will notify her agent later and ask her to prepare for the second round of interviews. I will let Sigourney Weaver try her chemistry with her."
"Oh, how do you solve this fame problem?" Julia Taylor doesn't know how to solve the fame problem.;
"Go to Los Angeles and see Goldberg...I will try to convince him." Ronald was not sure of persuading the CEO.
In order to convince Goldberg, Ronald called Jonathan Demme. This time they arranged to meet at a hotel.
Jonathan Demme happened to have finished filming "Married to the Mob" and was on vacation in New York. The two ordered food, and while waiting, Ronald told them the reason for their visit.
"I have to ask you a favor, Jonathan. Your Scatter Lulu didn't release a video tape. Can you get a copy?"
"Orion is very disappointed with my release, so there will be no follow-up action. I just think they didn't find a suitable marketing plan." Jonathan Demme criticized Orion's marketing.
"But I left a copy at my house. If you want it, I can lend it to you privately. But you can't use it for public screening." Demi liked Ronald very much, so he agreed to the request.
"I know the rules... just give it to me, let's talk about something, don't interrupt." Ronald took the red wine from the waiter's hand and poured it for Demi himself.
"I brought it to Goldberg, the president of Twentieth Century Fox, to show him Melanie Griffith's performance." Ronald poured himself another cup, Jonathan Demme's "
"Scattered" did not do well at the box office, and many studio executives did not watch it.
"So you are interested in Melanie as the protagonist?" Jonathan Demme forked a piece of Italian sausage and put it into his mouth. This is an authentic Italian restaurant. The sausage is cut very thin and tastes very good.
"Yes, apart from business considerations, she is my first choice. So I need some evidence to convince them." Ronald made a gesture of twisting money with his hands, indicating that there were still some business problems.
Need some evidence.
Demi picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The wine selection was good, and it had a very layered aroma when paired with red meat. "Now that you have an idea, I have something to remind you. Melanie Griffiths
She would be great as an actress, but she would have some problems on set."
"I'm listening with both ears." Ronald put down his glass and started listening seriously.
"First, she is an alcoholic and has a history of drug abuse. You have to find someone to watch her on the set. She will cause problems when she is drunk. Melanie can be very wild when she drinks too much."
"I know that," Ronald nodded and replied, "She and Tatum O'Neal once grabbed each other's hair and started fighting at my audition."
Jonathan Demme nodded and continued, "Secondly, she is a nymphomaniac. She often falls in love with male actors because of the drama, which causes jealousy between men and women in the crew."
"Huh?" Ronald raised his eyebrows in surprise. This senior brother, Jonathan Demme, really helped him a lot. If this kind of pitfall can be avoided, a lot of trouble will be saved. "This is really new to me.
thing."
