Chapter 28 The Wanted Director
When Freddie was done shooting, he took out $100 to pay for himself and Demi.Ronald drew 50 dollars and told him that Demi had already paid, and if he wanted to show his love, he could just return the 50 dollars to Demi, and winked at Demi.
Freddie smiled and gave Demi the remaining $50, and went back to the studio to write songs.Demi accompanied Natasha Kinski to her apartment next door for an audition photo shoot.
Natasha Kinski's apartment, rented by director Roman Polanski.
Natasha, who is also a model, is also extremely relaxed in front of the camera.Ronald was chatting with her while adjusting the focus and aperture.
"Is Director Polanski very strict in making movies? Does it take such a long time to shoot a movie?"
"Yeah, sometimes we have to wait a day for a light."
"Tess is a British story, why did you shoot it in the countryside of the country?"
"Ah, don't you know, the director is wanted by the California court, and he can't go to the UK to shoot, he will be extradited. Fortunately, there are some villages in the south of China and the place where the story takes place, Dorset in the UK is very similar."
"Are you German? Your English is very good."
"Hahaha, I have some talent for imitation, so I can imitate several accents in English, French, and Russian."
The camera framed Natasha Kinski's face, almond-eyed, with the sharp eyebrows usually reserved for men.The combination of eyebrows and eyes, just like Natasha herself, is full of contradictory temperament, sexy, innocent, and noble at the same time.
Grasping the biggest feature of her face, Ronald immediately started to shoot.
After shooting a group, Natasha insisted on changing clothes before shooting.Ronald took the opportunity to ask Demi, "Why is director Polanski wanted by the California court?"
"Because he seduced a 13-year-old girl and absconded a few days before the trial."
"When did this happen?"
"It was around this time last year."
"Oh, I was still in rural New York at that time." Ronald, who was working hard, didn't watch TV very much.
Demi briefly explained the ins and outs to Ronald.
It turned out that Roman Polanski was a Polish director, and later he went to America to make movies and produced several high-quality movies.
In 1977, he was accused of seducing a little girl with drugs. Because of insufficient evidence, the judge and lawyer reached a plea deal at the end of the trial and sentenced him to probation.
Unexpectedly, Polanski went to England to shoot a new film while on probation, and was photographed drinking with many beauties by reporters, some of whom were still very young.
The public was in an uproar, and the judge was going to use the grounds of misconduct during the probation period to revoke the probation and sentence him to serve his sentence in prison. A few days before the verdict, Polanski fled by plane.
Since then, Polanski can only live in China for a long time, and cannot go to any place that has an automatic extradition agreement with America, such as the United Kingdom and Canada.
"You know, just a few days before he ran away, he invited me to his house for dinner. I went with my mother at the time, and he also said that he would let me be an actor in his movie, let me To learn method-style acting."
"So have you joined the Screen Actors Guild?"
"Not yet. For a movie shot in Hollywood, at least 57 unionized actors must be hired. I have to wait for an actor who is sick and does not show up before I have the opportunity to replace him."
"But I heard that as long as actors can get a day's salary, they can apply for membership?" Ronald asked.
"That's not the case. Generally, our non-union actors can't sign this kind of daily or weekly contract. We can only wait for the opportunity on the set. If an assistant director chooses you as an extra, he will give you a time ticket , indicating that you have been hired for one day. Only when you have accumulated three coupons can you apply for the Film Actors Union."
"That shouldn't be difficult, right?" Ronald was a little surprised. According to the two sexy dancing beauties on the set of "Rock High School", they have been filming for more than three days, so they should be able to apply for a union, right?
"No, the Film Actors Union does not approve your membership by looking at your time coupons, but whether the crew pays you the minimum salary stipulated by the union. They will hand over the salary list to the union, and the union will count according to the list there. .”
Ronald recalled that he had done the work of getting the actors to sign and confirm the duration in the "Rock High School" crew.It turned out that these forms determined the fate of the group performances.If you are lucky enough to get on the form three times, you will be able to jump through the dragon gate and enter the big family of the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild.
As for the two dancing beauties, well, it seems that they didn't make a form for them. Thinking about it this way, it's quite a pity. I didn't expect that the crew assistants also have some important powers.
"Then why is Natasha Kinski in the Screen Actors Guild? I think she is the heroine of 'Tess', so I guess she should join the Screen Actors Guild."
"Because Director Roman Polanski is dating her and directly signed a contract to become the heroine, so you can take the first path you mentioned, and join the union as soon as you officially sign the contract. This kind of opportunity depends entirely on the director's appreciation..."
Demi Moore seemed to suddenly think of something, rolled her eyes, brushed her long black hair with her left hand, and smoothed it behind her ear with her fingers, "Ronald, you said you will join the directors union soon? Then you Can you make a movie independently?"
"I don't know. This business is very difficult. The director of our film crew spent five years to get $30 to make this small production." Ronald shrugged.
"Then, when you join other crews in the future, don't forget to recommend me?" Demi said.
"That's the casting director's job, but if I get the chance, I will."
"You're such a nice fellow, Ronald."
Demi hugged Ronald again, tighter this time, more intimate than the last friend hug.
"You two are really Superman and Louise!" Natasha changed her clothes and jumped into the room.
Demi Moore's expression remained unchanged, "Ronald just promised me that he will give me a chance to fill in the schedule when he goes to the new crew." She also laughed.
Demi had a very cute smile, her nose was slightly wrinkled and rippled, and then disappeared on her fair face with a little baby fat.Just like the spring breeze blowing across the pond, it left faint traces in Ronald's heart.
"Oh, poor Demi, you had the chance to join the crew of 'Tess' directly, but it's a pity that Run went to Hair Country before the shorty signed with you."
Natasha Kinski said, tilting her head and giggling.Her laughter was very soft, and the long pale golden hair that she wore for the shooting of "Tess" rippled along the way, revealing a swan-like neck with elegant curves, a style different from that of American girls.
Filming continued, but Ronald's mind wandered a bit.
Natasha Kinski, in front of Demi Moore, has not shy away from calling Polanski a dwarf.She probably feels that she is already in her early years. After the filming of "Tess" is released, she will become famous by then. I am afraid that there will be no shortage of director invitations in Hollywood.
Looking at the camera viewfinder again, she is really a very innocent but bewitching beauty.Knowing that Polanski is notorious among women and is already over 40 years old, he is still willing to be his girlfriend, not because of being a movie star, but why?Could it be the super-masculinity of the little man?
Ronald couldn't help but straighten his waist. Fortunately, I'm six feet two, and I'm 1.8 meters eight in metric, right?
And here's Demi Moore, who also eats with the dwarf. She is smarter than Natasha, and she takes her mother with her.If the little dwarf hadn't been wanted, he would have almost entered the entertainment industry.
The beauty's longing for the film industry is like moths at night, seeing the candlelight in the room through the glass window. They keep bumping, bumping, trying to hit a miracle, break through the glass window, and rush into the movie inside. that circle.
99% of beauties can't break through that window.Some of the ones that crashed into the candle flames immediately fell.Only those with luck, talent, and hard work can dance under the candlelight.
Ronald said to himself, "You have to work hard, work hard to become a director and make your own movie, then you can select real butterflies, put them in, take good care of them, and bloom on the stage for a while."
Besides, I'm six feet two tall, isn't he much better than Polanski the little dwarf?
