"Put your resume and photo back to back and put four staples in the four corners."
Click, click, click, click. Ronald returned to Demi's apartment and instructed her to pin her resume behind her audition photos, a common practice among professionals, to prevent them from being lost.
"Then what?" Demi asked Ronald after ordering?
"Then you can give it to your agent, or you can give it directly to the casting director. If it's not enough in the future, just use the negatives here to develop them again." Ronald handed the remaining photos and negatives to Brand New Demi Moore.
"Generally, actresses your age need to update their audition photos at least once a year. If they change their hairstyle, they also need to update it."
"Okay. I've written it all down." Demi said.
"Then my mission for today is completed. If there is nothing else to do, I can just take the equipment and leave." Ronald hinted.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Demi took out her wallet, took out a bunch of money, and counted it. There were only more than 40. "Ronald, I'm sorry. I agreed on a photography fee of 50 yuan, but I only have 40 yuan now, and when I take on more print ads, I’ll pay you the rest.”
"So, Freddy?"
"Oh, Ronald. Freddy actually doesn't want me to be an actress. He thinks that becoming an actress will make me vain and will leave him in the future. So I can only pay for it myself."
Seeing that there were only a few coins left in her wallet, Ronald felt soft and said, "Actually, there is another way, Demi."
"any solution?"
Demi looked at Ronald expectantly and asked in a slightly hoarse voice.
"I need some photos of actresses to promote my photography studio. If you are willing to license your photos to me and let me use them for advertising, I can waive your photography fees. You only need to pay me one roll. Just the cost of film and printing.”
As he said this, Ronald took out a stack of papers from his camera bag, pulled out one and handed it to Demi.
Demi took it and looked at it. It said that someone had authorized the photo to Ronald Lee. The photo could only be used for photography studio display and photography studio advertising. It cannot be used to promote advertising outside of photography studios, it cannot be used in outdoor advertising, etc...
"Okay, I signed." Demi took the paper and signed her name. Then he handed Ronald the money for film development.
"Thank you, Demi. You will have a place in Hollywood." Ronald said that he didn't need money and was about to leave.
"Thank you, Ronald, you are a good man." Demi hugged Ronald again to express her gratitude.
"Hi! Demi, I'm here. Where's Freddy?" A woman's cheerful voice came from outside the door, which was vaguely the person Demi was talking to through the window just now.
"Wow, Demi, is this your new boyfriend? He is very handsome and looks like "Superman". Do you want to be Superman's girlfriend, Lois?"
Ronald almost fell down when he heard this and quickly denied it.
"No, I didn't..."
"Hahahaha...I scared you." The visitor laughed softly, and his words were very special, as if he was whispering in your ear, which is unforgettable.
Demi went up and hugged her, "Are you back from China, Natasha?"
Ronald then had a chance to see her appearance.
If Demi's face has the possibility of multiple expressions and is suitable for movies, then this Natasha is the best among them, simply a great creation of the movie god.
Her face has the mystery of the golden age Hollywood goddess Greta Garbo, the sexiness of the Italian star Sophia Loren, and a hint of the innocence of Audrey Hepburn.
"Oh, my God, you should make movies based on classics." Ronald blurted out in admiration.
"But I'm just filming." Natasha said.
"Natasha, this is Ronald, my photographer, and I'm going to show you the photos he took of me."
Demi smiled and came over to introduce them, "This is Natasha Kinski. He is filming 'Tess' for director Roman Polanski."
"Tess of the D'Urbervilles?" Ronald asked, knowing that this was a masterpiece by the British novelist Hardy. "Are you British, Natasha?" He deliberately changed his British BBC accent, trying to sound familiar. If he could get her to endorse his audition photo studio, his price could be raised.
"Haha, how's my Dorset accent going? I'm pretty good at it for this drama, right?" Natasha showed off to Demi.
Ronald felt that the beautiful Natasha had no intention of talking to him, which was a bit regretful, but since she is the heroine of a classic blockbuster, she should already have a good photographer to work with. So he nodded to Demi and left.
"Wait a minute, Ronald." Demi stopped him. My boyfriend said he still had something to talk to you about. He turned around and got two enlarged audition photos and handed them to Natasha Kinski. "This is Ronald." Nader can take care of me in the morning."
Natasha looked at Demi and gave a thumbs up, "The photo was very good, better than the magazine photographer who took the photo for me."
Demi struck while the iron was hot: "Don't you want to come to Hollywood after filming 'Tess'? In Hollywood, casting directors select people, and there are not many portrait photographers here who are better than him." She said and glanced at Luo Nader, it seems to be saying, help you introduce a business.
Ronald took out his business card and gave it to Demi and Natasha.
Natasha was looking at the photos taken by Ronald. She looked at the photos, then looked at Demi, then looked at the photos again. After comparing them for a while, she suddenly asked: "How much does it cost to take a set of audition photos?"
"The drama and the romantic comedy are each 50 US dollars each, plus the black and white version, the total is 80." Ronald took out a price list and handed it to Natasha, "But I will join the Directors Guild soon, and the price will increase in the future."
"You want to join the Directors Guild?" Demi interjected from the side.
"Yes, I worked for Roger Corman at New Age Productions as a second unit director on 'Rock 'n' Roll.'"
Looking at the blank eyes of the two beauties, Ronald shrugged: "Just pretend I didn't say it, it's just a small production worth 300,000 US dollars."
The two women laughed together.
At this time, Demi's boyfriend Freddie flashed in and said, "Hey, Ronald, do you think I can take a set of audition photos?"
It turned out that he had just gone to change clothes. Freddie wore a red shirt and walked in. "Hi, Natasha, are you back?" and gave Natasha a hug.
"I think it's okay. The movie 'Rock and Roll' I just participated in invited the Ramones to participate. I think it will become a trend for musicians to participate in movies in the future. It's right to prepare early. ” said Ronald.
"Okay, let's get started."
Because Freddy couldn't see clearly without his glasses, Ronald asked him to wear them for the photo. Anyway, he won't play anyone else, most likely he will play himself in the movie like Ramones.
This time it was Demi's turn to stand behind Ronald and get her boyfriend into gear. However, her boyfriend Freddie is not a model like Demi, and he naturally relaxes in front of the camera. He was still a little nervous about taking pictures, and it took Ronald a while to adjust.
"While I'm filming in the country, are there any new movies in Hollywood?" Natasha and Demi took advantage of Freddy to relax and adjust, chatting about various gossips after the two separated.
"I heard that 'The Deer Hunter' was good, and many Oscar judges went to see it when it was released."
"Oh, is it the one with Robert De Niro? I heard about it last time I was in Hollywood. What do you think, Demi?"
"I didn't go see it. 'The Deer Hunter' was only shown in one theater in Los Angeles for seven days. I didn't buy a ticket."
"What a pity. When it comes out again, let's go watch it together." Natasha Kinski pulled Demi, "When I come back this time, my agent has received a lot of scripts. You have to help me." Help me, I don’t have time to learn English in the country, and now I can only speak but can’t read.”
Ronald chuckled to himself. There are people in this world who are completely opposite to himself. It turns out that I can only read but not speak.
"How long will you stay when you come back this time? Will you stay until the end of the Christmas vacation?"
"No, I'm just coming back to rest for a few days this time. I will go back in the New Year." Natasha was a little distressed. "I didn't have the chance to come back because the director of photography of the 'Tess' crew died of a heart attack and was looking for someone to go back." It was only because of the new director of photography that the director allowed me to come to the United States. I will go back to Germany in the New Year to attend various cocktail parties with the director to prepare for the release of 'Tess'."
"Wow, how long will it take for you to shoot? I remember you started filming in August this year."
"The filming will last until March next year. You know, that little man is always very demanding. Sometimes a scene has to be shot over and over again for a whole day."
"Roger Corman can make 10 movies in eight months," Ronald thought to himself.
"By the way, I heard you say last time that if you want to make a movie, you have to learn method and take an acting training class. Which training class should I go to?" Demi asked.
"The Actors Studio, the director said their acting training is the best."
