"Are you okay? I heard a lot of people talking about you, and it seems that there is something wrong with Malkovich." Ronald called Michelle Pfeiffer, and he also

It's not convenient to visit her at home, and it would be troublesome if she got involved in the scandal between Pfeiffer and Malkovich.

"It's nothing. My agent has taken care of it for me. I just can't go out now."

Michelle Pfeiffer was nestled on the sofa at home, happy to have friends who cared about her.

"You and Peter..." Ronald pretended to be concerned for a moment.

"We broke up peacefully. He even helped me pack all my luggage, take it out from home, and help me load it into the car."

Well, that would be the case if I could get a generous property division and monthly alimony until the man finds a girlfriend. Ronald thought to himself. "Then you and John (Malkovich) are still connected.

?"

"Oh, this bitch, I don't want to mention this person again." Michelle Pfeiffer burst into anger when she heard this name.

Malkovich seems to be possessed. After filming the movie and leaving the environment, he is still entangled with himself. Now he goes to see a psychiatrist twice a week and is watched by gossip reporters, making it impossible for him to go out.

"The script of that movie seemed to be possessed. I didn't know how I fell in love with him. It seemed that another young couple on the crew also..." Michelle Pfeiffer happened to have no one to complain to, Ronald

This kind of insider, she talked about on the phone for a long time.

A movie about abnormal love, shot in Paris far away from home, it is not only Pfeiffer who is obsessed with it. Another young actor, Uma Thurman, also plays the role of a tutor and an actor who bravely duels with Count Valmont.

Nu Reeves has developed a crush on him.

Ronald listened to Pfeiffer's complaints for a while. The main reason he called was to inquire about the situation. If this situation continued, the movie "Steel Mulan" would have to change its cast. He found an opportunity to interrupt.

Pfeiffer. "Then you can still..."

"It's okay, Ronald, if you want to change people, I understand. I can't go anywhere now. If I go to shoot Steel Mulan, I will be followed by reporters and they will definitely camp outside the filming location. Just like they are now

If you set up a tent in front of my house, you won't even be able to make a movie."

Pfeiffer's biggest problem right now is the handling of her personal marriage and emotional issues. Her manager Limato has explained other matters clearly to her, and they have to deal with them in a low-key manner for the time being to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.

After agreeing with Pfeiffer, Ronald had solved half of the problem. He looked at several audition photos and resumes of substitute heroines on the table and began to consider them.

One resume is that William Morris's Limato, Pfeiffer's agent, personally recommended a young actress to replace Michelle Pfeiffer, his colleague Elaine Goldsmith, an equally young

female broker client.

This actress is called Julia Roberts. She is just 21 years old. She has a very charming smile and a big mouth but not annoying. Ronald remembers that Ang Lee's aborted project was to cast her as a prostitute who witnessed a murder.

I almost got the chance to direct her.

Another audition photo was personally recommended by CAA's Ovitz. This actress is already twenty-four, but she doesn't look old. She plays a newly married girl and has no problems with the mother of her child.

What's more, she was the one who originally purchased Ronald's debut script, Bridget Fonda, the niece of actress Jane Fonda and the daughter of Jane's brother Peter Fonda. If the two could star together,

Then we can also create a gimmick of the aunt and niece co-starring to attract the attention of some movie fans.

After looking over and over for a long time, Ronald's eyes were still attracted to Julia Roberts. The Julia Roberts in the audition photo had a fragile temperament, as if she would be snapped by some hardship at any time. It was similar to the tragic character of the heroine of Steel Magnolias.

The destiny is very suitable.

Brothers and sisters always have some mysterious similarities. Strangely enough, Julia's brother Eric Roberts, who played Cannon's only Oscar-nominated film "Runaway Train", also has this fragile and persistent temperament. Just

Like siblings Peter and Jane Fonda, both of them are suitable for playing characters on the margins of society.

Unlike when you are a director, you only need to focus on who is most suitable for the role and use a standard to select actors. When you are a producer, you have to pursue a balance between art and business. Ronald picked up Brigitte Fountain again.

Da's resume, weigh it up...

…

A few days later, in the audition room, Ronald sat on the right, with screenwriter Robert Harlin in the middle and director Herbert Ross on the left. He didn't watch any other procedural auditions, and mainly observed the two

Actual candidate performance.

"I've seen Julia Roberts' performance in a modern-day Cinderella (the English title is actually called Mysterious Pizza), and there's nothing like her performance in it."

Director Herbert Ross had a lot of dissatisfaction with Ronald. His own production company wanted to invest in the film and occupy a certain share. However, Ronald was unwilling to withdraw some investment lines to him and insisted on working with screenwriter Robert

Harlem has reached an agreement.

He saw the niece introduced by Jane Fonda, who was close to Ronald, so he was naturally opposed to this choice. In his view, film shooting is a zero-sum game in which you have more, and I have less. On the set

, the more people Ronald has, the fewer people he has, and the less likely the director's intentions are to be implemented.

"Let's talk about it after seeing the candidates." Ronald was noncommittal. In addition to the human factor, there is also the balance of several major brokerage companies. Michelle Pfeiffer is a client of William Morris. If it were replaced by

If you are a CAA person, then the entire project may be dominated by CAA, so that the influence may exceed your own.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hello, Brigitte, I know your aunt very well, but whether you can get this role depends on your own performance." Herbert

Ross said this and glanced at Ronald. After the little girl Brigitte came in, he spoke first and expressed his standards.

Ronald frowned, but still smiled kindly at Brigitte Fonda, don't scare people. Although he appeared in his father's movie when he was only a few years old, he has not acted in any film and television dramas since then.

"Do you need some time to prepare? We'll start when you're ready."

"I'm ready," Brigitte smiled at Ronald. She was a talented woman, so she didn't debut as a teenager like other actresses. She first obtained a diploma from New York University Tisch College before turning to Hollywood.

.

"What do you think?" Ronald asked screenwriter Robert Harlin, who was sitting between him and Herbert Ross after the audition. Director Ross was bound to object to his opinion, and the main creator of the film was actually

He is the screenwriter, and his ideas are also very important.

"I think she's pretty good and her acting skills are excellent. The scene where she meets her fiancé was the first time the audience was happy when it was released on Broadway." Robert Harlin knew how to act, and he gave Bridget Fonda a high score.

point.

"Please come in next." Herbert Ross said nothing. What happened to this damn screenwriter? He actually supported Ronald. He played a trick and did not give Ronald a chance to comment. He directly

Called in Julia Roberts.

"Oh, God." As soon as the screenwriter saw Julia Roberts walking in, he blurted out in a low voice, "It's so similar, the temperament is so similar..."

Seeing the look Ronald sent him, screenwriter Robert Harlin just apologized, his eyes all on Roberts, looking up and down.

"If you're ready, you can start." Ronald also smiled and said to the actress who had a small mole next to her nose.

Julia Roberts smiled. The screenwriter's reaction just now made her a little nervous. Is it because her appearance is not good enough? But she is a girl who becomes braver when encountering setbacks. Her unwillingness to admit defeat makes her work harder...

…

"She acted very sincerely..." After the audition of Julia Roberts, Herbert Ross thought for a long time before he came up with a reason to praise her.

Obviously, Roberts tried too hard. The acting skills of the academic professor were not as good as those of Bridget Fonda before him. Even the director who was interested in him could not deny this.

but……

Ronald asked screenwriter Robert Harlin, "You really want to have a special opinion about her performance?"

"Yes, when she first walked in, she made me feel very similar to my sister's temperament. That kind of strength, that kind of stubbornness, desperate for love, but also has a fragile core. But, her acting skills?"

Robert Harlin also saw from Julia Roberts's appearance and temperament that her fragile character makes men want to protect her. Moreover, her face shape is suitable for movie lenses, and her smile is friendly.

Viewers will love the close-up of her smile.

"Let me tell you, Robert thinks so too. Movie casting requires an appearance that can be liked by the camera." Herbert Ross did not expect that the screenwriter was on his side, and he was a little overjoyed.

Taking out the video recorder used for audition filming, several people watched the two people's performance in front of the camera in front of the TV.

This time it feels even more obvious!

Bridget Fonda's performance on camera is even worse than her real life. This Jane Fonda's niece inherited too much of her father Peter's square chin and her mother's round face, but did not inherit the small face of her grandfather and aunt.

Delicate face shape.

Julia Roberts has a small face and a delicate chin, which is very suitable for movie lenses. To a certain extent, she looks more like her aunt Jane than Bridget.

Ronald struggled in his heart and gave up the idea of ​​using Bridget Jones against his will, although he could definitely do it. The opinion of screenwriter Robert Harlin was very important, and the heroine was his sister.

The reason why this Broadway play is loved by the audience is mainly because of his role as sister and the touching family affection of many "mothers".

This first feeling is indeed the key to the success of this kind of movie without too much dramatic conflict. The audience must fall in love with the characters at the first sight in order to be moved by them. Only the tragic death of the heroine in the end can move the audience.

…

"Yes, Brigitte is not quite suitable for the role, and the other girl's acting skills are not as good as hers, but her appeal is amazing. And most importantly, she looks like the screenwriter's sister, who the character is based on. You know this kind of movie

, relies heavily on affinity and first impression..."

Ronald called Jane Fonda to say hello. Although Jane's relationship with her brother Peter was average, she still took good care of her niece.

Like other Hollywood superstars, she doesn't like her relatives and her descendants to join the entertainment industry and work hard in this extremely competitive industry. However, the younger generations are still attracted by Vanity Fair's "Choose Me". After choosing to be an actor, she also tries to give some support.

"Ha, I understand, her chin." Jane Fonda shared the same regrets as Ronald about her niece's face shape. Although in real life, Bridget's appearance is more in line with the public's aesthetics than that of Hollywood actresses.

But the distortion of the lens made her face look big and round on the screen.

"Since Brigitte is no longer acting, I have no obligation. I'd better take a break now. Ronald, you understand that my presence on the set now may not be a good thing for your movie."

"I understand, I understand, I will find someone else to take your role." Ronald knew in his heart that this is what it should be. Jane Fonda came to play a supporting role, completely to help her niece and have a relationship with Ronald

For good reasons.

She is currently in similar troubles with Michelle Pfeiffer. Her relationship with her husband of fifteen years, Hayden, has gradually cooled down and the two are gradually estranged. Not long ago, she was spotted dating West Coast

A member of the Football League's Hollywood Kickers, dating Italian League transfer Lorenzo Cascialanza, is avoiding the limelight.
